The new face of "The Bachelorette" looks like she's ready to go back to her soft-swinging ways ... because Taylor Frankie Paul is already making out with guys on set.

Check out these photos of Taylor packing on the PDA with one of her suitors, Casey Hux, during filming in Las Vegas.

Taylor's in a black robe, and she's all over the Casey in a white bathrobe ... they're making out in what appears to be a hotel/casino.

Tom Cruise may risk life and limb for his own stunts, but writing his own speeches? Maybe not his most authentic flex -- 'cause his Honorary Oscar remarks sounded suspiciously like Nicole Kidman’s AMC ad playbook!

It was a huge night for Tom at the 2025 Governors Awards on Sunday … where he launched into a whole ode about the magic of the moviegoing experience -- and if you close your eyes, it almost sounds like he’s tag-teaming the same monologue with his ex-wife.

Check out our video mash-up -- because okay sure, it’s not an exact copy-paste job, but Tom goes on about how we come to the movies to laugh and cry together ... which, funny enough, is exactly Nicole’s whole spiel in her iconic preview ad for AMC Theatres.

Your comments are a big part of the stream, and the staff spends a lot of time speaking directly to you. Every day is different!

Well, this is a collab nobody saw coming ... Nicki Minaj is partnering with the Trump Administration to address the United Nations.

The "Anaconda" rapper will reportedly join the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Mike Waltz, to deliver remarks Tuesday in New York City, spotlighting violence committed against Christians in Nigeria. Waltz complimented Nicki in a tweet Sunday, calling her a "principled individual who refuses to remain silent in the face of injustice."

Nicki tweeted her appreciation, writing in a post ... "Ambassador, I am so grateful to be entrusted with an opportunity of this magnitude. I do not take it for granted. It means more than you know."

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kim Zolciak is finally speaking at length about daughter Ariana Biermann's break-up with longtime boyfriend Hudson McLeroy ... she says the split is ultimately for the best.

While fielding questions at BravoCon over the weekend, Kim said ... "I've known them forever and ever. I love them. But they need to grow. They've been together on and off for 10 years and they're just going in different directions."

When she says she's known them forever, she means it ... Hudson and Ariana were born in the same hospital, only 8 hours apart. So, as you can imagine, the families are close ... and according to Kim, that hasn't changed.

Justin Baldoni made an offhanded remark as the cast of "It Ends With Us" was getting ready to shoot a scene ... he says, "Sorry, I missed the sexual harassment training" -- but it was a joke about the wardrobe for the scene.

The video was filed as an exhibit by Wayfarer -- the studio run by Justin -- in his ongoing legal dispute with co-star Blake Lively.

The video shows Blake, Justin, and other background actors prepping for a bar scene.

9:13 AM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... Rick Hilton was physically in the home at the time of the break-in. We're told he is okay and wasn't harmed.

The homes of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" stars Kathy Hilton and Sutton Stracke were both burglarized Saturday while they were away at BravoCon, TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... at around 2 PM Saturday, Sutton's dogwalker called 911 and said the kitchen window was broken. Cops came and took a police report. We don't know if anything was taken.

The more alarming incident was on Saturday night ... Rick Hilton called 911 and said there were 3 burglars inside the family home. Cops came, but apparently the burglars had escaped. Again, we don't know if anything was taken.

This weekend’s TMZ Brunch Tour crew was all about keeping things sunny side up despite L.A.'s grim weather ... partying with Jackie Long, who had extra reason to toast with us!

Catch the fun ... Jackie was in full Sunday Funday mode, telling everyone on the tour he’s expecting a baby girl with his wife, which only cranked the party up ... with drinks flowing as we rolled through hot spots like The Henry, TomTom, and The Butcher, The Baker, The Cappuccino Maker.

It was all hands on deck -- shots flying, music shaking the bus, and the whole vibe so loud we had random people on the sidewalk joining the party!

Deion Sanders couldn't help but get emotional when Shedeur Sanders made his NFL regular-season debut on Sunday ... admitting he was in tears as his son took the field for the Cleveland Browns.

The fifth-round pick logged his first official snaps for the Orange and Brown in the second half of Cleveland's AFC North matchup with the Baltimore Ravens ... a sight some fans have been begging to see for weeks with fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel struggling as the starter.

The former Oregon quarterback was forced out of the game due to a concussion ... paving the way for Sanders to get his shot ... and his proud pops and former coach in Colorado was watching.

Tekashi 6ix9ine's Florida home was stormed by four gunmen hunting for his cash and car keys ... and held his mother against her will during the terrifying invasion.

The chilling incident went down Sunday night, when the embattled rapper's 60-year-old mother was at his residence and suddenly confronted by the armed men.

6ix9ine tells us he was not home at the time ... instead, he was livestreaming with Jack Doherty when the home invasion played out. You'll recall, Doherty was also arrested Saturday morning on drug possession and other charges.

Even with what looks like clear video evidence, Ja'Marr Chase is denying he spat on Jalen Ramsey during the Bengals vs. Steelers game on Sunday ... claiming it simply didn't happen.

The superstar Bengals receiver and Steelers corner were jawing at each other throughout the AFC North matchup in Pittsburgh ... but things took a turn in the 4th quarter when Ramsey slapped Chase's helmet and grabbed his facemask -- earning a one-way ticket to the locker rooms in the process.

Viewers wondered what set Ramsey off -- and thanks to an up-close camera angle, it appeared Chase was caught in 4K spitting on Ramsey.

Tom Cruise brought down the house at the Governors Awards Sunday night, delivering an emotional acceptance speech about the very thing he does best -- making movies!

The iconic actor was given an Honorary Oscar during the show at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood by Alejandro G. Iñárritu ... who happens to be directing Tom in his next film, an untitled project slated to be released in October 2026.

When Tom stepped onstage, he gave Iñárritu a huge hug and soaked in the rousing applause from the celeb-studded crowd before launching into his speech.

The crazed fan who jumped the barricade and charged Ariana Grande at the Singapore "Wicked: For Good" premiere last week has reportedly been sentenced to 9 days in jail.

According to The Straits Times, the judge determined the acts of 26-year-old Australian man Johnson Wen were premeditated, claiming he planned the act for the sake of creating videos to post on social media.

Prosecutors called Wen a “serial intruder.” The judge noted this was not Wen's first time doing something like this, saying, "You seem to be attention-seeking, thinking only of yourself, and not the safety of others, when committing these acts."

Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua is actually real -- the fight is set to go down in a matter of weeks!!

After his matchup with Gervonta Davis was scrapped, El Gallo will now face the former heavyweight champion in a professional bout on December 19 at the Kaseya Center in Miami ... and Netflix will be streaming the whole thing.

Joshua is by far Paul's biggest challenge to date -- he's not in his 50s (he's 36), he's not a former MMA fighter, and he's not washed.

Hollywood's biggest stars were shining bright for the 2025 Governors Awards ... with A-listers flooding the red carpet to show off their best looks -- including Sydney Sweeney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Austin Butler, and many more.

The 16th installment of the awards show went down Sunday night at Hollywood’s Ray Dolby Ballroom ... and the fashion did not disappoint.

Ariana Grande is fully embracing the "Wicked" spirit ... stunning in an elegant "Glinda Pink" Dior gown, while her costar Cynthia Erivo made a bold statement in a striking Givenchy look.

We started the conversation by asking for Metta's reaction to the firing ... but he caught us off-guard when he said he wanted to take Harrison's job!!
