Kathy Hilton is sharing more insight into why she stepped down as the Grand Marshal Icon honoree for the 2026 WeHo Pride Parade ... and she's clearly hurt by the situation.

Kathy chatted with a photog Thursday night after a Hermes fashion show in Los Angeles ... and she made it clear it was more important to not be a distraction during such an important event than it was for her to be there front and center, supporting the LGBTQ+ community.

Listen to Kathy and judge for yourself ... but everything she says seems genuine.

Time for another guess who! Can you guess the sexy brunette actress working on this roaring muscle car engine?

This actress hit the mainstream in 2007 when she starred in one of the biggest movies that year, which completely transformed her career ... and just a few years later, she became a horror staple with her portrayal as a schoolgirl vampire.

This actress also has a career outside of acting when she became a mom in 2012 -- she shares 3 kids with a famous 90's actor, and another with rockstar.

Chembera also said text messages sent by Ashlee to family and friends proved she was experiencing depression and distress about her life, and some messages seemed like farewell texts.

The orange figure seen near Jeffrey Epstein's cell the night he died in a federal lockup in 2019 will remain a mystery, at least for now, after a former correction officer testified that the strange shape was not her in surveillance footage.

Last month, Tova Noel testified in front of the House Oversight Committee that she was NOT the mysterious figure climbing a flight of stairs to Epstein's tier inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in NYC on August 9, 2019, the night before Epstein died.

Epstein's body was found inside his cell in the Special Housing Unit, and the NYC Medical Examiner ruled his death a suicide. But conspiracy theories persist to this day that the pedophile financier -- who was awaiting trial for child sex trafficking -- was murdered. 

Aubrey Plaza swooped into NYC on Thursday for the premiere of her new movie, "The Accompanist," but it was her baby bump that was the feature attraction.

Check out the red-carpet photos ... Aubrey is modeling for the photogs in her loose-fitting outfit before she's joined by her "Accompanist" costar, Susan Sarandon.

A judge on Thursday tossed the second-degree murder charge against Aaron Spencer, the Arkansas father who became a national headline after launching a campaign for county sheriff while awaiting trial.

The ruling stems from a lengthy fight over missing evidence. Spencer's attorneys argued investigators lost key materials during the case ... and the judge ultimately decided misconduct by law enforcement "was so egregious that dismissal of this case is warranted."

A longtime Hollywood character actor is dead after a shocking stabbing ... and cops say the man accused of killing him is his girlfriend's son.

According to LAPD, 81-year-old actor James Handy -- whose credits include "Top Gun: Maverick," "Jumanji" and "Arachnophobia" -- was found Wednesday morning in front of a Tarzana home with a stab wound to the chest. He was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

M.I.A. says she never received a call from Cudi or his team and even tried to speak with him after the controversy erupted, but says he wouldn't meet with her.
