Scheana Shay was slinging drinks somewhere other than SUR this week -- working a shift at a Chili's Grill & Bar instead ... going back to her server roots, pre-fame!

In videos obtained by TMZ, the "Vanderpump Rules" star was seen rocking a Chili's uniform Wednesday night while running food to tables and whipping up drinks behind the bar out in the Valley.

It was pretty surreal to see, especially considering Scheana used to work at a Chili's back in the day -- before she skyrocketed in Hollywood by landing a role on her Bravo show.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori seemed to be in good spirits this week ... driving around L.A. in separate cars -- this just hours after a man filed a battery report against Ye.

Photogs snapped the couple caught in rush hour traffic Wednesday -- and they were rolling in completely different vehicles. BC was piloting her Porsche and Ye was riding shotgun in a Cybertruck ... both seemingly happy and healthy after what sounds like a tough night.

Hard to tell what Bianca's wearing here -- unclear if it's her usual level of sheer or not -- but, she's got her eyes firmly fixed on the road while waiting at traffic lights in her sweet ride.

Caitlin Clark has clearly had enough of Antonio Brown's social media antics ... she just blocked the ex-NFL player after he posted inappropriate things about her on his X page.

AB took to the app not once but thrice on Wednesday to say crass things about the WNBA's newest star following her Indiana Fever introductory press conference ... in an apparent attempt to be funny.

But, most rolled their eyes at the posts -- including Clark ... who straight up blocked the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout for the behavior.

The Brazilian woman arrested for trying to "Weekend at Bernie's" her uncle's corpse at a bank apparently brought the body with her in a taxi beforehand ... and it's on video.

Erika de Souza Vieira Nunes was caught on surveillance footage not long before she rolled into the bank and tried applying for a loan with her deceased relative. As you can see, she is seen setting up a wheelchair outside a taxi cab -- where she enlists the driver's help to lift her uncle's lifeless body out of the front passenger seat.

After placing her uncle, Paulo Roberto Braga, in the wheelchair, the driver shuts the car door and bounces. Erika is seen paying the driver, as Paulo's gaunt body droops over the side.

Bethenny Frankel says things with her ex-hubby, Jason Hoppy, tanked so hard that sex with the guy was damn near impossible ... on her end, anyway.

The 'RHONY' alum put it bluntly ... explaining she wasn't into doing the deed with him because, well, she just didn't respect him anymore and had no desire to bang at all.

Mariska Hargitay -- known as Olivia Benson on 'Law & Order' -- temporarily became a real-life cop after a lost little girl was searching for her mother ... and came to her for help.

The child is said to have thought Mariska was an actual police officer as she clocked her prop cop badge .... bolting straight to her for help while the actress was in the middle of filming an 'SVU' episode in NYC last week.

Witnesses report the little girl -- who became separated from her mom while at Anne Loftus Playground in Fort Tryon Park -- didn't even notice the filming crew or Mariska's scene partner, Ice-T, in her search for help. She just went straight for Mariska, apparently.

Father Time still clearly can't quite win his battle with Tom Brady ... 'cause the NFL's GOAT just showed, once again, he's still ripped!!!

The 46-year-old popped his top for a workout down in Florida on Thursday ... and you can see the dude's still got chiseled abs, bulging biceps and a pair of defined pecs -- even though he hasn't played a down in the NFL in nearly two years.

It's apparent the muscles ain't just for show, too ... check out the footage of Brady running some wind sprints -- the ex-quarterback can still move!

Taylor Swift's new album supposedly leaked early -- and if it's real, fans are shocked to hear some Matty Healy references ... this when everyone thought it'd be all about Joe Alwyn.

Here's the deal ... a Google Drive link has been floating around the internet for the past 24 hours or so that purports to have all of Taylor's songs from "The Tortured Poets Department" -- her new project that's dropping Friday.

It's unclear if these are the real McCoy or not, but a lot of people on X think it's a legit leak -- and, if true, there's a lot of Swifties who are shocked to hear quite a bit about Matty.

Bryan Kohberger's defense team is planning to bring in a tech expert to help support his alibi as he stands trial for a quadruple murder -- namely, he was nowhere nearby.

Bryan's attorney is arguing he was out driving miles away from Moscow, ID the night 4 University of Idaho students were slain in their home. Kohberger's team claims they have cell phone tower records and a radio frequency expert set to corroborate this defense.

According to new docs detailing this, Bryan was south of Pullman, WA and west of Moscow, Idaho on the night in question. The defense claims this was normal for the former criminology student ... as he liked to hike/run in the area and look at the night sky.

Tyler, who was runner-up in the 2019 Bachelorette, sounded off about Gerry and Theresa on SiriusXM's TODAY Show Radio saying the split isn't just a bummer ... it puts a "true stain on love in 'The Bachelor' world."

A bold statement, for sure, from a guy who also didn't find love on the show -- but Tyler explained why the 'Golden divorce' was like having a rug pulled out from under him.

Diddy's ex-girlfriend, Daphne Joy, is leaning into the spotlight after she was named as an alleged "sex worker" in a lawsuit and amid a federal investigation into sex trafficking claims.

The model was wearing quite the getup in L.A. Tuesday, where she was doing a photo shoot at a studio here in town -- showing off a lot of skin in a black ensemble that included a black bikini top and a thong down below, which was partially covered by a maxi skirt.

The skirt, of course, was hanging well below her waistline, and part of her ass was exposed. While Daphne was outside, she was joined by a photog and another woman, and they were all standing around and chit-chatting while posing for selfies.

The Indiana Fever reporter who was dragged for a bizarre conversation with Caitlin Clark on Wednesday is now apologizing for his actions ... admitting he crossed a line with his behavior.

Gregg Doyel, a journalist for the Indianapolis Star, issued the mea culpa just a few hours after he went viral for shooting a heart-hand gesture at Clark and following it up with some cringeworthy commentary during her introductory press conference.

Doyel first said in a post on his X page he was "sincerely" sorry for the "oafish" encounter. He then posted a column on the Star's website where he tried to explain his conduct.

10:16 PM PT -- A rep for Kanye West tells TMZ ... "'Grabbed' is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened. Bianca was physically assaulted."
