President Biden just signed a bill banning TikTok in America (unless it's sold to a U.S.-based company) -- but the current CEO says they're gonna fight like hell ... vowing to go to court.

TikTok's head honcho Shou Zi Chew posted a video Wednesday in response to Joe putting his John Hancock on legislation that got passed in the House of Representatives and the Senate ... which basically makes TikTok illegal here in the States under Chinese control.

The businessman says he and his partners are going to challenge this new law -- and is confident TikTok will win before a judge, stating the Constitution is on the company's side. Chew and co. say they're going to cite First Amendment rights in defending their position.

Sofía Vergara finalmente puede cerrar el libro de su matrimonio con Joe Manganiello para siempre, porque acaba de deshacerse del último vestigio de su pasado... la casa de lujo que compartían.

La propiedad de la actriz en Beverly Hills -que había estado tratando de vender desde hace un par de años- encontró un nuevo propietario esta semana según los registros en línea, a un precio final de $13.7 millones.

Eso es mucho menos de lo que costaba hace unos meses, cuando ella la puso de nuevo al mercado por $13.9 millones, y ya había sido rebajada en gran medida desde 2022.

Sofia Vergara can finally close the book on her marriage to Joe Manganiello for good -- because she just got rid of the last remnant of their past ... the fancy house they shared.

The actress's Beverly Hills estate -- which she'd been trying to sell for a couple years now -- found a new owner this week according to online records... with a sale of her former property officially closing on Tuesday, at a final price of $13.7 million.

That's down from what she'd relisted it for at the beginning of the year, when she put it back on the market for $13.9 mil -- which had already been slashed by quite a lot since 2022.

Anne Heche's estate is having difficulty paying off its outstanding debts -- this according to court docs filed by the late actress' son.

Homer Laffoon is the administrator of his late mom's estate, and he filed docs with the court saying the probate case isn't ready to close yet because it is still dealing with claims from several creditors.

He says her estate has a "modest bank account, royalty payments, and other residual income from pre-death projects" -- such as money from her posthumous memoir "Call Me Anne" -- but, apparently, it's not enough to cover all the claims.

Kyle Richards raced to her daughter's side this week after hearing about an emergency at her kid's home -- as the place got broken into by thieves, who busted in in broad daylight.

Sources familiar tell TMZ … Farrah Aldjufrie's L.A.-area home got burglarized Tuesday afternoon, with the crime happening around 1 PM PT. Thankfully, we're told Farrah wasn't home when this happened ... but unfortunately, these crooks made off with quite a lot.

Our sources say the burglars forced open a door on the property and made entry into the home -- and at some point during their stealing spree, we're told they actually cut Farrah's WiFi off completely ... likely in hopes of trying to cut the connection to surveillance cameras.

Victims of disgraced former Team USA doctor Larry Nassar will receive a massive $138.7 million payout from the U.S. Department of Justice.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced Tuesday they'd be shelling out the huge payment to 139 victims ... all because the DOJ concluded the FBI failed to conduct a thorough investigation of Nassar once the bureau received critical information that could've put a stop to the doctor's horrific acts.

“For decades, Lawrence Nassar abused his position, betraying the trust of those under his care and medical supervision while skirting accountability,” Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer said in a news release.

The Southern California home Anne Heche destroyed in the car accident that claimed her life has been fully restored -- and it's on the market too ... going for a bundle.

The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom Los Angeles residence looks strikingly different from the last time we saw it -- as it was previously a scorched wreck from the fiery collision that led to Anne's untimely passing in 2022.

These days, the house boasts a fresh coat of white paint with a black trim along the side. A small, but sunny front porch juts out into a modest front yard. The front of the structure is completely rebuilt too ... and looks nothing like it did a couple years ago.

Jim Irsay says his medical emergency back in December was NOT due to an overdose ... insisting this week a leg injury was actually the cause of the scare.

Cops, of course, have stated otherwise. Carmel Police Department officers said in an incident report they responded to the Indianapolis Colts owner's Carmel residence on Dec. 8 at around 4:30 AM after he had been struggling to breathe with a weak pulse. They said following an administration of a dose of Narcan -- a drug commonly used to revive people in opiate overdose situations -- "he responded slightly."

Irsay was ultimately strapped to a stretcher and taken to the hospital ... and cops ended up classifying the whole ordeal as a suspected "overdose" and "overdose/poisoning."

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger have architecture super fans (yeah, they're a thing) up in arms after they demolished an historic L.A. pad to build their dream home, but the architect's daughter says it's not that big of a loss.

Erin Ellwood, daughter of the legendary architect Craig Ellwood -- who designed and built the Brentwood, CA home in 1950 -- tells TMZ there's no need for the uproar over the Pratts' teardown of the iconic residence known as the Zimmerman home.

In her eyes, it's not nearly the tragedy her father's fans are making it out to be, especially because it's not the most spectacular example of his elegant work.

Coachella weekend 2 wrapped up on a low note, financially speaking, as the music festival is facing a $28,000 fine over Lana Del Rey's set.

A rep for the City of Indio, where Coachella takes place, tells TMZ ... the singer's show went over 13 minutes on Friday night. Might not sound like THAT bad of an infraction, but it's enough to trigger the hefty fine.

Lana's weekend 2 set featured 19 songs in total ... including a surprise performance from Camila Cabello, who performed her new single, "I LUV IT."

Two fitness titans are on a path to square off in court, because David Beckham has sued Mark Wahlberg's company over a fitness deal that made the former soccer star way lighter in the wallet.

Beckham's company, DB Ventures Ltd, alleges in the lawsuit F45 "duped" him into signing on with F45 Training, a company in which Wahlberg has a 36% interest. M.W. also serves as the company's chief brand officer.

Beckham, who got close to Mark when he moved to Cali to play for the L.A. Galaxy, became F45's Global Ambassador. The selling point -- David has millions of social media followers, so it would presumably greatly expand the reach of the company.

Dos titanes del fitness van camino de enfrentarse en los tribunales, porque David Beckham ha demandado a la empresa de Mark Wahlberg por un acuerdo de fitness que aligeró la cartera de la ex estrella del fútbol.

La empresa de Beckham, DB Ventures Ltd, alega en la demanda que F45 lo "engañó" para que firmara con F45 Training, empresa en la que Wahlberg tiene una participación del 36%. M.W. también es el director de marca de la empresa.

Beckham, que se acercó a Mark cuando se mudó a Cali para jugar en el L.A. Galaxy, se convirtió en Embajador Global de F45. El argumento de venta: David tiene millones de seguidores en las redes sociales, por lo que presumiblemente ampliaría enormemente el alcance de la empresa.

Kim Kardashian is bringing Kardashian Kountry to the masses ... as Netflix placed the winning bid on the new scripted show she's set to exec produce titled, "Calabasas."

Deadline reports KK and 'AHS' costar Emma Roberts are executive producing the series alongside "Pretty Little Liars" creator I. Marlene King and film producer Alexandra Milchan.

"Calabasas" is based on the novel "If You Lived Here You'd Be Famous By Now" by Via Belidner ... and the show will be a teen high school drama a la "Beverly Hills 90210" and "The O.C."

Former Dallas Cowboys star Mike Jenkins was involved in a heated confrontation at a Florida bar over the weekend ... video obtained by TMZ Sports shows.

The incident happened at The Kenwood on Sunday night in St. Petersburg ... after Jenkins had apparently become upset with the way one of the establishment's employees had handled his credit card.

A witness tells us the worker had either misplaced or lost Jenkins' plastic -- which agitated the former 2008 NFL Draft first-round pick.

John Travolta's proving financial know-how can pay off big ... claiming he looked over Quentin Tarantino's finances when they first met -- and it changed his career.

The legendary actor told the story during Turner Classic Movies' recent event celebrating the 30th anniversary of the cult classic ... with Travolta joined by Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Tarantino and more at the event.

As JT explains  ... his agent told him QT was a big fan and wanted to meet with him, and John decided to head over to Quentin's place for the big first impression.
