ICYMI, Reds is the Knicks fan who twerked in the face of her attacker after they got into a tiff while climbing an NYC street sign... and just like the Knicks dunked on the Spurs, she dunked on her brawl-opponent.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" alum Kelly Dodd says her connection to Trump donor and Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool contractor John J. Cafaro starts and ends with one thing ... she thought the guy looked like a villain.

Kelly tells TMZ she has no personal relationship with Cafaro whatsoever ... despite a December 2025 photo showing the two together at Trump National Golf Club in Florida.

Check out the pic ... Cafaro looks like Ron Burgundy in a red blazer with a big ol' cigar hanging from his mouth ... and Kelly says that's exactly what caught her eye.

According to Kelly, she was attending an event with husband Rick Leventhal alongside Newsmax executives, President Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani when she spotted Cafaro and asked to take a photo with him.

According to Page Six, Lively hasn't been invited to Swift's upcoming wedding celebrations with Travis Kelce, despite recent speculation the longtime friends were beginning to repair their relationship.

The fight for Karmelo Anthony's freedom is heading into the next round ... and a new group of heavyweight attorneys are now leading his effort to overturn his murder conviction.

A team including Texas NAACP President Gary Bledsoe, veteran appellate lawyer Russell Wilson II, and civil rights attorney Brooke Cluse announced Monday it has taken over Anthony's case and will conduct an independent review of the trial record while pursuing all available avenues of appeal.

As TMZ previously reported, Anthony was convicted of murdering Austin Metcalf and sentenced earlier this month to 35 years in prison. He had signaled he wasn't done fighting the case almost immediately ... filing a notice of appeal less than 24 hours after his conviction.

The death of Elena Katherine Moore -- a personal trainer in South Carolina who was confirmed dead last Friday -- remains a mystery for now ... her autopsy found no obvious cause of death and no signs she suffered any traumatic injuries.

Authorities say the examination revealed no bruising, cuts, gunshot wounds, stab wounds, blunt-force trauma, strangulation, or other external injuries ... leaving investigators waiting until they can determine exactly what happened.

The preliminary autopsy was conducted Saturday, according to Lexington County Coroner Margaret Fisher, who says additional tests -- including histological studies and toxicology screening -- are still underway. Until those results come back, the cause and manner of Moore's death remain pending.

D4vd's brother is making his way back onto social media after months out of the spotlight ... and right as the singer's murder trial approaches.

D4vd's brother -- Caleb Burke -- uploaded a new vlog this week, marking one of his first public posts since May ... when he faced backlash for trying to spark his own music career.

The video's title indicates the footage was actually recorded back in March 2026, giving followers a glimpse into what he's been up to as his older brother remains behind bars on charges he murdered Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

The vlog itself is relatively low-key, showing Caleb spending time with friends and hanging out in a series of casual clips. The soundtrack of the video is his song "Imaginary Love," which plays throughout several scenes.

The Nancy Guthrie ransom note TMZ received was the real deal, according to the FBI, but contrary to new reports, it did not contain an apology or a revelation she was dead.

There is something else ... TMZ received close to a dozen emails from a man claiming he knew both the identity of the kidnappers and the location of Nancy. The initial email he sent -- just days after the kidnapping -- said he would provide information in return for a single bitcoin, but "time is of the essence." He made it clear -- he was not a kidnapper.

The next day, he sent another email saying "time is no longer of the essence." Translation -- Nancy was no longer alive. The man continued to send emails, saying the kidnappers took Nancy to Mexico. He said he needed the money because he would have to go underground for fear of retribution. He was also concerned authorities might try to implicate him in the kidnapping.

Comedian Carlos Mencia just appeared in court for his felony tax case ... and he entered a not guilty plea to all 12 charges against him.

Prosecutors say Carlos -- born Ned Arnel Holness -- failed to report $8.7 million in income and owes more than $300K in unpaid state taxes ... and he faces more than a decade behind bars if convicted on all 12 counts.

Carlos did get some good news during Monday's hearing ... authorities tell TMZ his bail amount was reduced from $250,000 to $50,000 -- welcome news, no doubt, because the comic has been cooling his heels in an L.A. jail cell since last week's arrest.
