The mother of Anna Kepner -- the 18-year-old who was murdered on a Carnival Cruise ship -- is questioning the sleeping arrangements her daughter was placed in leading up to her tragic death.

Heather Wright told Fox News she's been villainized in the situation, but it's Anna's dad, Christopher Kepner, who could be partly to blame.

Anna was reportedly sharing a cabin with two other teenagers -- one of whom is her stepbrother, who's now suspected in her death. Anna's grandmother told ABC News the teenagers chose the arrangement themselves ... but Anna's biological mom seems to think an adult should have vetoed it.

Turkeys shouldn't need a pardon since they're not criminals ... but, maybe one day the president will pardon them all -- so hopes a prominent animal activist.

Ellie Laks -- founder of The Gentle Barn, a foundation that promotes the humane treatment of animals -- joined us on "TMZ Live" to discuss turkeys ... including the annual tradition of the Commander in Chief letting two turkeys live as millions of others become the main course on Thanksgiving.

Laks -- known in some circles as a "Turkey Whisperer" of sorts -- says it breaks her heart that so many turkeys are killed each year ... rolling her eyes at the gimmick where POTUS issues the pardon.

Andrew Tate set up his ex-girlfriend by filing a false police report against her in Dubai, leading to her being held in the Middle Eastern city for more than a month ... according to her new lawsuit.

Bri Stern claims Tate -- the controversial poster boy for toxic masculinity -- went to cops in Dubai back in June and accused her of publicly posting false statements about him ... which would be a crime under U.A.E. laws, meaning anyone under investigation can't leave the country.

This, according to Bri, was the setup or "honeypot trap," because as a model she travels to Dubai frequently ... something Tate knows very well. So, cut to September 27, when Bri indeed touched down in Dubai for work. She says everything was fine until she tried to leave on October 12.

Two National Guard troops were shot in Washington, D.C. Wednesday afternoon, and at least one suspect was taken into custody. There are conflicting reports on whether the two victims were later pronounced dead.

National Guard soldiers were on "high visibility patrol" when an unidentified male suspect approached and shot the two victims, CNN reports, citing the D.C. Metro Police Dept. Other guardsmen overpowered the suspect and took him into custody. The suspect had no I.D., and was not cooperating with police.

West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey tweeted at 3:42 PM ET ... "It is with great sorrow that we can confirm both members of the West Virginia National Guard who were shot earlier today in Washington, DC have passed away from their injuries." Twenty minutes later, the governor sent a new tweet: "We are now receiving conflicting reports about the condition of our two Guard members and will provide additional updates once we receive more complete information."

Milwaukee rapper Chicken P is already in the slammer serving 6 years on drug-related charges ... and just may be in there longer after being indicted on multiple counts of rape, attempted rape, gross sexual imposition, abduction, and public indecency.

According to federal court docs filed on November 6, the rapper -- born Rahkeib Smith -- is alleged to have sexually assaulted a Jane Doe between March 11 and March 12, 2024, at a residence in Cleveland, Ohio.

The docs don't detail the narrative, but the charges are steep ... Chicken P is accused of having sexual intercourse with Jane Doe without her consent and through physical force.

New footage has been released from the night of Marshawn Kneeland's death -- showing officials in pursuit of the Dallas Cowboys player's speeding Dodge Charger as it dangerously weaved in and out of traffic on the highway ... and tirelessly searching for him after he crashed his vehicle and fled the scene on foot.

The Texas Department of Public Safety shared the body and dash cam footage from the Nov. 5 incident ... which showed cops chasing his vehicle around 10:30 PM, initially believing it was stolen.

24-year-old Kneeland was allegedly driving up to 160 MPH while behind the wheel ... and struck another vehicle before ending up in a grassy area off the road.

Forget about the Thanksgiving turkey ... we're looking at the Thanksgiving fashion -- at the airport -- for the nation's busiest travel day of the year.

Dressing for the airport can be tricky ... you want to be comfortable on the flight, but you are still in public ... and you have to consider the weather in the city you're departing from, while keeping in mind the climate that awaits you at your destination.

Some people strike a great balance ... and some people take it way too far.

Don't forget ... last week, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy urged Americans to "dress with respect" in an effort to "restore courtesy and class to air travel" over the holidays.

That was fast ... prosecutors in Los Angeles County say they've charged three men with murder in the fatal shooting of Maria De La Rosa, a singer who went by the stage name DELAROSA.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman says the alleged killers in the "ambush-style attack" are 27-year-old Francisco Otilio Gaytan, 27-year-old Benny LiconGomez, and 21-year-old Eduardo Lopez ... prosecutors say they are all from Northridge, where the shooting occurred early Saturday morning ... and each has been charged with one felony count of murder and two felony counts of attempted second-degree robbery.

Hochman says the men allegedly approached a parked car shortly before 1:25 AM on Nov. 22 on Bryant Street in Northridge ... they demanded money and then opened fire, killing DELAROSA. She was in the car with two friends, who were not harmed.

12:18 PM PT -- Hong Kong police arrested three men on suspicion of manslaughter in relation to the apartment building inferno, according to CNN.

A fire spread across multiple high-rise apartment towers in Hong Kong on Wednesday, reportedly killing at least 36 people ... with many more trapped inside as the blaze rages on.

According to CNN, seven of the eight buildings from the Wang Fuk Court complex -- which reportedly holds 2,000 apartments -- were still on fire Wednesday as more people were believed to be trapped inside. The New York Times later reported 279 people were missing as of Wednesday afternoon.

CNN reports that at least 767 firefighters were deployed to tackle the fire. At least one firefighter has been counted among the dead.

If you got it, flaunt it! Kaia Gerber gave photogs a show during a hike in L.A. ... showing off her insanely hot, toned bod.

Wearing a black sports bra and bike shorts, the supermodel was snapped walking her dog alongside a male friend.

It's good to see Cindy Crawford's 24-year-old daughter looking happy and healthy after the mother-daughter duo teamed up for a huge win in court earlier this month.

All's not fair for Kim Kardashian ... because her SKIMS store in L.A. was hit by a vandal who defaced the walls with a ton of graffiti -- though cops say they arrested the man who did it.

Check out photos of the West Hollywood locale ... with its white walls covered in black words -- including "we need that" and "Kimmy Bread" -- along with a series of other unintelligible phrases on the wall. Unclear if someone meant any of this graffiti as a shot at Kim or if the white-gray walls simply provided a perfect canvas for a troublemaker. Still, Kim's team is not taking any chances ... we're told they're going to talk to police.

A spokesperson for West Hollywood Sheriff's Station tells TMZ ... they've opened an investigation into the vandalism which the sheriff's office learned about around 5 AM PT. An unidentified male has been arrested for felony vandalism -- with cops thinking he caused more than $400 worth of damage. Officials say a bystander saw the graffiti and called police.

Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun's relationship is moving pretty fast ... or at least it was last weekend when the two zipped around on a pair of powerful jet skis!

The actress and her music producer beau went for the ride around the Florida Keys with some pals ... each driving their own vehicle -- no romantic ride for couples here.

Sweeney put her body on display during the romp ... leaving little to the imagination in a burgundy thong-style bikini. Her uncovered backside definitely drew eyes -- both when she was bent over a jet ski and when she was heading back into her home into what looks like a large gathering.
