Rueben Bain Jr. was the driver in a fatal accident in 2024, according to a new report ... as the University of Miami star prepares for the NFL Draft, where he's a near lock first-round draft pick.

Bain, now 21, was driving a 2021 Land Rover SUV with three other passengers -- Canes teammates Nyjalik Kelly and Wesley Bissainthe, and a 22-year-old woman, Destiny Betts, on March 17, 2024.

The duo was back side by side Monday morning ... Savannah opened by saying it was nice to be together again, with Hoda chiming in she's happy to be back in the chair next to her. Savannah quipped it felt just like "old times."

Hoda was filling in for Craig Melvin, who’s currently on vacation ... and the reunion comes after the last time they cohosted together, which was Hoda’s final day on the show back in January 2025.

She hasn’t been gone long, though ... Hoda also stepped in while Savannah took time off following the disappearance of her mom, Nancy Guthrie ... and Savannah only just returned to the show earlier this month.

One thing about Kylie Jenner -- she knows exactly how to serve cleavage ... and Coachella got the full show!

Peep the IG pics -- Kylie hit the Palm Springs desert with her crew, rocking a barely-there black lace crop top that's basically a bra with ambition.

Kylie was fully in her zone, putting that enhanced cleavage on display from every angle -- to the point one of her friends got a little bit too close for comfort by pretending to lick it.

At one point, there's a full zoom-in on the goods. No distractions.

Britney Spears is in rehab for substance abuse ... TMZ has learned.

She checked in a few days ago somewhere in the United States. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... people close to the singer had been urging her to check herself in and she finally agreed to do so voluntarily.

As one source put it ... "She realizes she hit rock bottom."

Britney has had issues with drugs -- in particular Adderall -- and alcohol for years. During her many trips to Mexico, she made it a point to replenish her Adderall supply.

Our sources say ... part of the reason she's gone to rehab now is because of her pending DUI case. As one source says, "She knows strategically this will look good in front of the judge -- that she's taking it seriously."

We broke the story ... Britney was arrested for alleged DUI in Ventura County, CA in March 4, 2026.

We're told her sons and others have been strongly supportive of the move.

The program is an undetermined length -- they are often 30 days -- but in this case we're told Britney could stay longer for a more meaningful recovery.

On the other hand, back in the day Britney went to rehab several times but bailed after a few days.

Rihanna made a surprise cameo appearance -- but not in a movie ... instead, the iconic singer showed up at a friend's private birthday party, and we got the pics to prove it!

Our sources say Riri had a couple of bodyguards watching her as she enjoyed a fun-filled time with her 20 or so friends.

Pope Leo XIV is not taking any crap from President Donald Trump ... firing back at DJT's nasty Truth Social post that slammed the Pontiff for his perceived liberal-leaning views on crime and foreign policy.

Leo was speaking with journalists aboard the papal plane en route to Algeria Monday when he was asked about Trump's verbal attacks on what the Commander-in-Chief sees as the Pope's "Radical Left" beliefs.

Check out video of Leo's response ... he calmly tells reporters he has "no fear of the Trump administration or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do, what the Church is here to do."

Leo added he and his Catholic church cronies are not politicians and "don’t deal with foreign policy with the same perspective" as Trump. He went on to say he believes "in the message of the Gospel, as a peacemaker.”

"Euphoria" launched into its new season by remembering its past ... the show paid tribute to late stars Eric Dane and Angus Cloud during Sunday's Season 3 premiere.

At the very top of the episode, the show displayed a title card with Dane's photo along with the text, "In remembrance of Eric Dane."

Similarly, the show honored Angus -- who played Fezco -- and executive producer Kevin Turen at the end of the episode. Both died unexpectedly in 2023 after Season 2 dropped in 2022.

As you know ... Eric died in February after a battle with ALS -- a disease that attacks nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, which has no cure.

As Eric Swalwell's political career continues to crumble at lightning-fast speed ... a big-time benefactor has pretty much told him to go to hell.

Billionaire Stephen Cloobeck went scorched earth in an interview with the California Post, saying he's booted the embattled Swalwell from his Beverly Hills mansion ... and he's looking to recoup $1 million he forked over for the politician's now-defunct gubernatorial run.

The backlash comes on the heels of the Democratic Congressman from California being accused by multiple women -- some who worked for him -- of sexual assault and other alleged sexual misconduct. Swalwell has denied any wrongdoing ... but is now the target of a criminal probe.

Swalwell has been staying at the mansion as a guest ... it's where he filmed his video denial prior to dropping out of the race for California governor over the weekend. We're told Swalwell had been staying there for a few days before he was kicked out Sunday morning.

Not even Pope Leo can escape the wrath of President Trump, who excoriated the Holy Father for his views on crime and foreign policy — and a bunch of other stuff, too!

Trump posted a long-winded message on Truth Social Sunday night, kicking things off by slamming Leo for being "WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy."

Trump is also pissed at The Pontiff for criticizing him over bombing the hell out of Iran and sparking a war between the 2 countries with the help of Israel. Over the weekend, Leo implied that a "delusion of omnipotence" is behind the U.S.-Israel war against Iran.  

Jorginho wants to "set the record straight" about what actually happened with Chappell Roan and that bodyguard.

The soccer star shared a lengthy statement on Instagram Monday ... chalking the blame game up to a "misunderstanding."

He wrote ... "I regret the impact this situation has had on Chappell Roan, Catherine, Ada and our family."

ICYMI ... Jorginho slammed Chappell last month, alleging her security guard was speaking "in an extremely aggressive manner" to the athlete's wife and 11-year-old daughter after the young girl allegedly walked by the singer's table at the hotel where they were staying.

MMA is in its comeback era ... but you can cross Michael Bisping off the list of fighters making huge returns in 2026 ... he tells TMZ Sports, while he can still whoop a ton of ass, he's staying retired.

That is, unless several Brinks trunks back into his driveway.

We caught up with The Count at LAX this week ... and asked with big names like Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano stepping back in the cage, could he be following suit??

Congressman Eric Swalwell's run for governor of California has come to a screeching halt ... amid allegations of sexual assault.

Swalwell made the announcement on X, writing, "I am suspending my campaign for Governor."

He continued ... "To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made -- but that’s my fight, not a campaign's."
