Somebody's hot for teacher! Khloe Kardashian got flirty in the comment section of a California school teacher's social media post ... and now the educator is shooting his shot with an incredible response.

Jacob Myers of Santa Cruz, California is out to become the next Kardashian companion in a TikTok post ... asking Khloe to be his date to his school's staff holiday party.

This all started when Jacob wrote he was looking for a companion in a post sharing his dating profile. The profile included his attributes -- like his master's degree and cooking skills -- as well as what he's looking for ... a "woman who's gonna ask how my school day was."

The post went viral when Khloe responded in the comments, "How was your day??" clearly flirting with him.

The General Manager of Mogul Vision, D4vd's record label -- who appeared before the grand jury for the last 2 days regarding the death of Celeste Rivas -- was way more than a record exec ... he was involved in D4vd's day-to-day life.

Robert Morgenroth is someone the grand jury prosecutor is intensely interested in ... as we reported, we overheard him say in the courtroom hallway that the prosecutor hammered him on why he didn't call the police. We don't know the context, but it's clear it involved D4vd, because he's a suspect in Celeste's death.

Morgenroth is way more than a G.M. -- he was also D4vd's day-to-day manager. Turns out, there were 2 managers. The other is Josh Marshall, who actually founded Mogul Vision and, along with Morgenroth, managed the singer's career.

You may remember Marshall ... he's the one who signed the lease on the house D4vd was living in -- the home police searched shortly after Celeste's body was discovered in D4vd's Tesla. Law enforcement sources say the house is an important piece of the puzzle, which the LAPD believes implicates D4vd in Celeste's death ... which police believe is a murder.

Morgenroth is also the President of Zara Brothers Travel, D4vd's tour company.

While the dating rumors surrounding aespa's Winter and BTS' Jung Kook continue to heat up, the girl group's agency, SM Entertainment, is reportedly taking legal action in response to the backlash its singer is receiving.

Speculation about the two K-Pop idols dating started back in 2023 ... but have recently gained more traction with fans noticing them sporting similar 'fits and what appear to be matching tattoos.

Positive reactions to the potential romance have hit social media, but there has also been a ton of backlash from people who disapprove ... forcing aespa's label to step in to protect Winter from posts that they feel have crossed the line.

SM stated, "In particular, we have identified numerous acts damaging Winter’s character and reputation, as well as malicious postings and sexually harassing content made with the intention of publicly slandering the artist ... After reviewing these posts, we will be expanding the filing of complaints in stages."

Sharon Osbourne got visibly emotional ... opening up about the last thing Ozzy ever said to her before he passed in July.

Chatting on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" Wednesday, Sharon said Ozzy woke her up at 4:30 AM before he died and told her, "Kiss me, hug me tight"... and she had to stop for a sec during the interview to pull herself together as her eyes welled up with tears.

Sharon said Ozzy then went to work out for about 20 minutes ... before suffering a heart attack and passing away -- and she only found out after rushing downstairs when she heard people screaming while he was being resuscitated.

Andy Dick is in dire straits ... the troubled comedian suffered an apparent drug overdose on the street, and this chaotic video shows people in his Hollywood neighborhood rushing to save his life.

TMZ has exclusively obtained video of Andy slumped over on cement stairs outside a building in Hollywood in broad daylight Tuesday. As you can see, Andy is completely out of it, with his signature spectacles lying on the ground in front of him.

Eyewitnesses tell us several of Andy's friends ran up to try to revive him. One happened to be live-streaming as he approached, and screamed at Andy to "wake up" ... while others called for an ambulance.

Elon Musk says fans swarming him for a selfie aren't the only reason it's nearly impossible for him to go out in public ... he told "The Katie Miller Podcast" Charlie Kirk's murder raised the stakes to life and death.

Watch the video ... Elon tells Katie, "These days -- particularly in light of Charlie Kirk's murder, there are serious security issues."

According to the world's richest man, his friend's assassination reinforced the severity of the situation, making him more reclusive. He couldn't seem to recall the last time he'd been out on a routine errand like a grocery store run or a stop at a drugstore.

"It's not that I don't want to," he said. "I simply can't."

More tragedy for Kevin Faulk and his family ... the LSU legend and Super Bowl champ unexpectedly lost his daughter, four years after the sudden death of one of his other children.

Faulk's 30-year-old daughter, Tanasha, died at the Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center on Saturday. The cause of death has not been disclosed, but no foul play is suspected.

"Tanasha will be remembered for her kindness, her unwavering love for her family, and the light she brought to all who knew her," her obituary said.

Grammy award-nominated singer Klypso hosted our 12:30 PM brunch bus for his birthday weekend, and we caught all the madness as it went down!!

A music superstar, an Oscar winner, and a tennis legend take over the Met Gala ... we don't know if there's a punchline yet -- because we'll have to wait and see what happens since Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams have been named co-chairs of the event!

The three stars have been tapped to work with industry icon Anna Wintour -- who always heads up the annual fashion extravaganza -- on next year's edition of the event ... with Vogue announcing the news via Instagram Wednesday morning.

The gala has a "Costume Art" theme in 2026 ... essentially a celebration of the intersection between human body and art -- so, expect to see stars celebrating their own skin as they march up The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The Arizona man who pled guilty to murdering his 2-year-old daughter while watching porn died from carbon monoxide toxicity -- hours before he was to turn himself in to authorities ahead of his sentencing, TMZ has learned.

The Maricopa County Medical Examiner ruled this week Christopher Scholtes took his own life using the highly poisonous, colorless gas. Last month, TMZ exclusively reported authorities were eyeing carbon monoxide as a possible cause of death and now it's official.

Scholtes made national headlines in July 2024 after he left his baby daughter, Parker, asleep in his car and went into his house in Marana, a suburb of Tucson, to reportedly play video games and watch porn.

Madison Beer says she never had any question about the way she would die ... telling Alex Cooper she used to tell people when she was young that she was sure she'd take her own life.

The singer-songwriter dove into her mental health issues on Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast two years ago ... including touching on her two past suicide attempts -- including the one spurred on by naked photos of her leaking online when she was just a teenager.

Beer's talked about the emotional toll the leak took on her in the past ... but now she says it goes deeper than just feeling horrible about one thing -- because when people asked her how she thought she'd die, she always used to tell them suicide.

Sophie Kinsella -- the powerhouse author behind the hit 'Shopaholic' book series -- has died at 55, three years after being diagnosed with brain cancer.

The British writer’s family broke the heartbreaking news on her IG Wednesday ... saying even though she battled her illness with unbelievable courage, she ultimately passed away peacefully ... spending her final days wrapped in "family and music and warmth and Christmas and joy."

Sophie first shared her cancer diagnosis just last April ... revealing she had glioblastoma -- the most aggressive form of brain cancer -- but told fans she’d undergone a successful surgery and was pushing through radiotherapy and chemo.

The 20-year-old man accused of shooting Jets player Kris Boyd in NYC appeared before a judge on Tuesday ... with prosecutors claiming surveillance footage and cell phone records pin him to the scene of the crime.

The judge granted prosecutors' request for remand ... meaning he'll remain in custody.

Quentin Tarantino is making plenty of enemies in Hollywood after he randomly bashed some actors on a podcast ... and we can definitely add comedian-actor Zach Woods to the list!

In case you missed it ... QT gave his ruthless opinion recently on some fan-favorite actors, including Paul Dano and Matthew Lillard -- essentially saying they ruin any project in which they're cast.

Fans and fellow actors have been vocal that Tarantino's take is both wrong and just plain mean-spirited ... but Zach kicked it up to a whole other level!

The manhunt for Olympian Ryan Wedding rages on ... and now the FBI has released a new image of the snowboarder-turned-alleged-international-drug trafficker, as the feds desperately search for the man they've compared to Pablo Escobar.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Los Angeles field office dropped the photo on Tuesday night, claiming it shows Wedding in Mexico this summer.

While his look isn't drastically different, Wedding is rockin' different facial hair in the new pic.

Khloé Kardashian’s getting real about faith ... saying she was just reunited with a major keepsake -- after Kim swooped in and bought their late dad’s Bible the second TMZ reported it was hitting the auction block.

The reality star spilled it all on her "Khloé In Wonder Land" podcast Wednesday ... claiming Ellen Pierson married her dad on his deathbed and cleaned house -- so when the Bible popped up at auction, they knew they had to snatch it back.

Turns out it was the Bible Robert once passed to O.J. Simpson back in the day -- and just last month on "The Kardashians," Kim revealed she secretly dropped $80K on it at auction ... all to gift it back to Khloé.
