Update

Christine Quinn's Ex-Hubby Bleeding $27K a Month on Empty Mansion
Christian Dumontet tried to fast-track control of a multimillion-dollar L.A. property in his divorce from "Selling Sunset" star Christine Quinn ... telling the judge it's his property, he's been spending a bunch of money on it while it remains empty -- and he's looking to sell it as soon as possible.

D4vd Live Stream Charged with Murder, Sex with Minor Death Penalty on the Table
Singer D4vd has been officially charged with the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas ... in addition to first degree murder with special circumstances -- which makes him eligible for the death penalty.
He's also been charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 and mutilating a body.
The D.A. says the last time Celeste was seen was at D4vd's house ... never to be seen again. Her mutilated body was discovered in 2 bags in D4vd's Tesla.
Nathan Hochman says D4vd was lying in wait on April 23, 2025 ... and it appears that's when the D.A. says he killed her. He says another special circumstance was murder for financial gain. The financial gain was that Celeste was a "witness" to something -- presumably their sexual relationship -- and he would lose his career if she talked. The D.A. suggested Celeste threatened to go to police or go public regarding their sexual relationship, so he invited her over to kill her ... thus, the lying in wait.
LAPD Police Chief Jim McDonnell says there is evidence D4vd and Celeste had a sexual relationship.

D4vd Interscope Dropped Singer ... Months Ago
Singer D4vd has been officially charged with the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas ... but his record label gave him the boot well before, TMZ has learned.
A source with direct knowledge tells us ... Interscope dropped the artist late last year when police said they were eyeing him in the teen's grisly death. The decision was not made public at the time ... because D4vd had not been arrested or charged with a crime. That all changed today.
TMZ previously reported that D4vd had been scrubbed from the label's website.
In addition to Celeste's murder ... D4vd -- born David Anthony Burke -- has also been charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 and mutilating a body.
