Looks like one night behind bars wasn't enough to bring daredevil Empire State Building climbers Ivan Beerkus and Angela Nikolau back down to Earth ... they were over the moon after being released from jail and kissed for the cameras.

Check out the video and pics -- the newly engaged thrill-seekers walked out of Manhattan Criminal Court on supervised release Thursday morning hand in hand ... then planted a passionate kiss right outside for everyone to see.

If the overnight jail stay rattled them, they sure didn't show it ... the pair looked on top of the world, soaking up every second of the attention from their jaw-dropping proposal atop the Empire State Building.

Before the kiss, the couple was charged with multiple felonies ... including reckless endangerment and burglary. They appeared in court wearing the same black outfits they had during Wednesday's stunt ... they did not enter a plea and the judge gave them supervised release.

It looks like double trouble for Taylor Frankie Paul ... because her ex, Dakota Mortensen, has hired the same legal team as her ex-husband, Tate Paul, in a renewed court battle over parental custody.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Dakota retained Steven Russell and Chad Shattuck, Tate's long-time lawyers.

Taylor's exes are ramping up their cases against her over custody of her three kids. Previously, Dakota was using Joel Kittrell.

TMZ broke the story ... a judge denied Tate's request for a temporary restraining order -- but he's asking the court to take another look with more submitted exhibits, including alleged incriminating text messages.

Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce's wedding plan may be a secret to their own guests ... but it seems the NYPD may have a timeline ... or at least some private info about the event of the century.

NBC New York captured photos of one of New York's Finest holding a booklet with "Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce Wedding" and "Thursday 7/2" scrawled across the front.

There are other words written on the front -- and a photo -- which are hard to make out in the pics snapped by reporters. It's unclear what's in the booklet.

Harvey Weinstein's recovering nicely after suffering heart failure ... according to his longtime representative.

Juda Engelmayer tells TMZ ... Weinstein is "out of the woods for now" and feeling fine. The antibiotics treated his pneumonia, and his heart is doing much better because the doctors are monitoring it with an EKG.

We're told Weinstein is already able to walk around.

It's a huge improvement from his previous condition ... remember, Weinstein suffered heart failure behind bars at Rikers Island weeks ago because of the pneumonia, and he was rushed to Bellevue Hospital.

Frankie Muniz's estranged wife is coming to his rescue after haters apparently bullied him into deleting a video of them dancing together ... footage he posted after their divorce announcement.

The video in question shows Frankie and Paige Price busting some moves together in their living room to the 2007 pop-punk hit "Check Yes, Juliet" by We the Kings. Frankie wrote, "Who says you can't stay friends with your baby mama?"

Well, the lighthearted post didn't sit well with some fans, and the criticism was so cruel the "Malcolm in the Middle" star scrubbed it from his story!

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is on his way to the monumental Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding ... and it looks like he's got his blue suit in tow!!!

TMZ obtained a photo of George in the Nashville airport Wednesday night ... he's sitting with his wife Claire at a bar, and he's got a suit in a bag hanging off the back of his chair.

George and Claire revealed last week they scored a wedding invite, with George telling Entertainment Tonight the only thing he knew about his NFL buddy's top-secret wedding was that he was wearing a blue suit.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have have spent millions of dollars to snag MSG and transform it into the perfect wedding venue for their big celebration tomorrow ... but it looks like they also spent millions -- $26 million, to be precise -- on donations to charity.

Looks like the newlyweds aren't just lining the pocketbooks of wedding planners and delivery drivers ... because Taylor's reps announced Thursday she has donated $26 million to at least 20 charities this week ... TMZ can confirm.

Among the 20 charities that received money from Taylor, nine are food banks, one is an animal cruelty organization, seven are educational programs, and three are children's hospitals ... the donations are covering all bases it seems.

Taylor has made large-scale donations in the past ... like when she gave money to local food banks at locations that were part of her Eras Tour, gave money for Florida hurricane relief, Tennessee tornado relief, and Los Angeles wildfire relief -- just to name a few.

The announcement from Tay's camp only mentions the organizations that received money from the singer, and the overall amount donated ... but does not mention the wedding.

Taylor Swift's wedding events in New York City have more security than Fort Knox ... even her Big Apple apartment is being heavily guarded by NYPD ... and it's all on video.

Police are standing watch outside Taylor's place ... and in the footage, you can see there are several officers at the door and across the street.

And this isn't the only example of an upped security presence ahead of Taylor and Travis Kelce's big day ... Madison Square Garden is crawling with cops, National Guard, and military.

A former Hawaii real estate big shot allegedly had sex in his luxury listings during a years-long affair with his assistant ... and now, lawsuits are flying.

Stephen Cipres, who founded Corcoran Pacific Properties, allegedly did the deed with his executive assistant Sarah Dombrose inside 10 to 20 homes over the course of 4 years, according to bombshell legal docs obtained by Honolulu Civil Beat.

In her affidavit obtained by the outlet, Dombrose said she began working for Cipres in 2021, and he quickly made a move on her by kissing her at an open house they were hosting. Dombrose said the interaction was not welcomed but said she felt she had to give in to his advances because she was in a rocky marriage and needed the job to support 3 kids.

Records reportedly show Cipres would cut her $50,000 checks at times throughout their work together.

Taylor Frankie Paul's custody fight with ex-husband Tate Paul isn't over yet ... because after a judge denied his request for a temporary restraining order, he's asking the court to take another look.

Along with the motion, Tate submitted several exhibits, including text messages he says show Taylor refusing to disclose why she was receiving inpatient treatment, keeping him in the dark about a mental health crisis, and admitting she stops assaulting boyfriend Dakota Mortensen when he records their interactions.

Victims in the California State Parks hidden-camera scandal are speaking out for the first time ... describing the gut punch they say came with learning they may have been secretly recorded while changing at work.

Two employees appeared Thursday alongside attorneys Gloria Allred and John West, who announced they filed a lawsuit Wednesday on behalf of four current parks employees alleging former supervisor Kevin Pearsall secretly recorded workers inside the men's locker room at Bolsa Chica State Beach.

Former lifeguard and current park aide Matthew Dawson told reporters he "couldn't believe it" after learning about the allegations, while Richard Corey -- a senior park aide manager -- called the allegations "the ultimate betrayal of trust."

OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney's legal team says Christian Obumseli -- Courtney's boyfriend who she allegedly killed during a violent confrontation in 2022 -- isn't the harmless victim prosecutors portray him as ... they say he had an arrest warrant for animal cruelty when he died.

Courtney's lawyers submitted a new filing, obtained by TMZ, this week in which they note prosecutors may wish to present evidence claiming Christian was peaceful, and not the aggressor in the confrontation they say led to his death.

In anticipation of this, Courtney's lawyers are asking the court to allow them to present counterevidence in the form of an arrest warrant for animal cruelty issued by law enforcement in Texas against Christian.
