Actor Timothy Busfield has formally been indicted on child sex abuse charges in New Mexico.

Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman announced the charges against Busfield, which include four counts of Criminal Sexual Contact of a Child.

The development comes weeks after the 68-year-old filmmaker was arrested on charges of child abuse and criminal sexual contact of a minor. We told you all about it ... Busfield was accused of touching young brothers -- ages 7 and 8 -- on the set of "The Cleaning Lady" several times between November 2022 and spring 2024.

Bianca Censori is finally breaking her silence ... and she’s not easing into it, starting at the beginning of her relationship with Kanye West, which she said kickstarted shortly after he reached out to her -- while he was still married to Kim Kardashian.

In a tell-all interview Friday, the Aussie architect says she first linked up with Ye when he roped her in to work for his Yeezy brand as head of architecture ... and claims their romance sparked around the same time Kim filed for divorce in February 2021.

Bianca tells Vanity Fair it wasn’t some whirlwind scandalous affair, but simple proximity -- long hours together at Yeezy, constant calls, nonstop time -- that slowly turned into something more.

9:09 AM PT -- Trump has since removed the post from his Truth Social page.

It's no secret President Donald Trump and the Obamas don't get along ... but DT has now taken their bad vibes to a whole new level, posting a short video of Barack and Michelle depicted as apes.

Trump uploaded the shocking clip on his Truth Social platform Thursday night ... and it begins with a voice speaking about alleged fraud in the 2020 presidential election over a chart. As you know, Trump lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 race, but Trump has always maintained the election was stolen from him.

Then the video cuts a brief scene showing Barack and Michelle's heads superimposed on apes dancing in a jungle as The Tokens 1961 classic, "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," plays in the background.

Matt James has some thoughts on Chris Harrison's return to the dating-show world years after "The Bachelor" blew up in his face ... and let’s just say, he’s already handing over a rose to the host, who he calls the "GOAT."

TMZ caught up with the former 'Bachelor' lead at the Sports Illustrated Invitational Golf Tournament in San Francisco Thursday, where Matt said it was only a matter of time before Chris found his way back onto the dating TV circuit.

Matt also weighed in on the backlash surrounding Chris’ new show, particularly over a casting call that mentions "traditional values." According to Matt, that word is pretty much open to interpretation.

Luigi Mangione piped up for the first time in court ... claiming his case is clearly one of "double jeopardy" since he's being charged at both the state and federal level -- though it appears he's mistaken.

The alleged murderer appeared in court Friday while his legal team and federal prosecutors argued over a whole host of issues ... including whether state or federal prosecutors should get the first crack at him.

After the judge adjourned the court, officers led Luigi away ... and, he said, "One plus one is two, common sense tells you this is double jeopardy."

Sophie Turner's jumping into making the new "Tomb Raider" series ... and, we mean that quite literally -- just watch as she parachutes into a scene using movie magic!

The actress is shooting scenes for the upcoming show near Surrey -- just south of London -- with crew members hooking her up to a rig with a parachute splayed out behind her.

When the scene begins, ST's propelled forward by the rigging ... and the parachute catches the wind -- making it look like Turner's landing on the beach after leaping from a plane.

Ooh, just when you thought the so-called "toxic mom group" drama was finally fading out, Kaley Cuoco jumped in ... and yep, she very clearly picked a side -- and it’s not Ashley Tisdale’s.

Kaley stopped by "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" Thursday and did not mince words when the topic came up ... bluntly firing off, "I mean, if you don’t like being part of a group, just leave, baby." Ouch!

Her face said everything ... she was clearly unimpressed with how Ashley handled the whole situation, adding there was no need to talk about it endlessly or write long essays about it.

Cristina Pérez Galcenco -- an international runway model -- has died at 21, according to media reports.

Galcenco's body was discovered at her house in Malaga, Spain on Tuesday, February 3 ... her cause of death appeared to be natural, several outlets reported.

Spanish newspaper ABC reports Galcenco had moved to the city of Malaga to enroll in a class at a school.

In the past few years, Galcenco had been strutting down catwalks from Madrid to Milan to Paris to London -- even locations in China.

Most people with a ruptured ACL are scheduling surgery … meanwhile, Lindsey Vonn -- Olympic runs!

The ski legend is in the midst of pulling off one of the wildest comeback attempts in Olympic history -- successfully completing a crucial downhill training run Friday in Cortina, Italy … just one week after tearing her left ACL and getting airlifted off a Swiss mountain.

The 41-year-old icon -- rocking a heavy brace on her knee -- tore through the brutal Olympia delle Tofane course in 1:40.33 ... finishing 11th out of 43 racers. But the placement almost doesn’t matter … the real victory is that she checked the mandatory training box needed to stay eligible for Sunday’s Olympic downhill, where she’s chasing a fourth career medal.

"Nothing makes me happier!" Vonn posted to Instagram pre-race. "No one would have believed I would be here… but I made it!! I’m here, I’m smiling and no matter what, I know how lucky I am. I’m not going to waste this chance."

The pressure was sky-high heading into the run. Officials already canceled one of Vonn’s three training opportunities Thursday because of dangerous snow and weather conditions … meaning Friday was a must-deliver moment.

And because Vonn seemingly thrives in chaos, thick fog rolled into the course midway through the race, delaying her start by 30 minutes. Still, the American star stayed loose -- even dancing around with teammates while waiting for the green light.

If this sounds medically insane … that’s because it kinda is. Vonn insisted earlier this week her knee feels stable with minimal swelling … and she backed that up by posting workout footage showing her crushing weighted squats and other intense training.

A pretty wild mindset considering she was in a rescue helicopter last Friday!!!

Cortina also happens to be her territory. She’s racked up 12 total victories on the Italian slope -- and it’s a huge reason she came out of retirement for these Games.

A U.S. Marshal has sparked outrage after he apparently kicked a small dog hard -- twice --while his counterparts made an arrest ... allegedly breaking one of the pup's ribs with the punts.

WREG-TV -- a local outlet in Memphis, Tennessee -- shared the sickening clip ... the vid shows the marshal, clad in tactical gear and blue jeans, turning toward the yapping dog rushing at officers.

Watch the video ... the little dog appears to be nipping at a leashed law enforcement K-9 at the scene ... the marshal boots the dog back toward the parking lot ... the same marshal delivers another swift kick in the courtyard as other officers wrestle with an individual in the foreground ... and the pooch yelps and rushes away before the clip ends.

Halle Berry is hoping the fourth time's the charm ... for marriage, that is!

The actress dropped in to "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" Thursday night and set the record straight on rumors she turned down her longtime boyfriend's proposal.

Fallon kicked things off by saying Halle had some "very happy news" to share, but that she wanted to clarify something. Halle said there's been some confusion about her response to her boyfriend of 6 years, Van Hunt, asking her to marry her.

Moment of truth in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case ... the first deadline from the ransom letter came and went ... but the family says they still haven't heard a peep from whoever abducted her.

The first deadline lapsed at 4 PM PT Thursday ... that's when millions of dollars in bitcoin were due in exchange for Nancy's safe return.

'TODAY' host Savannah Guthrie uploaded a video of her brother, Camron Guthrie, saying the family has not gotten proof of life on Nancy ... as they've been requesting since Wednesday evening.
