Hunter Biden says some of the biggest Republicans in Washington might be closeted ... and he's kinda naming names.

Joe Biden's son sat down with Don Lemon to dish about why conservative politicians are so obsessed with gay people ... claiming it's because they're gay, too!

Don asks Hunter point-blank if the late Lindsey Graham was part of the so-called closeted cabal. HB said it wasn't a secret, noting "everybody knew."

As far as the rest of the list ... Hunter tries not to name names -- though he did bring up a backdoor route to mention a few prominent members of the Republican Party.

Former NBA player Ty Lawson was screaming and yelling during his shoplifting arrest in Colorado ... at least according to police, who say he stole a bottle of vodka and called his arresting officer a "white bitch."

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Lawson was busted July 16 in Castle Rock after allegedly swiping a $34 bottle of Tito's vodka from a liquor store before bringing it with him to a nearby restaurant. The California Post was first to report.

Officers believed Lawson was intoxicated and said he smelled of alcohol when they confronted him about allegedly stealing the liquor.

That's when they say Lawson got heated ... claiming he repeatedly called an officer "bitch" and "white bitch" ... and also yelled "stop" multiple times. Cops say he even kicked the glass wall of his holding cell and spit on the floor.

7/24/2026 10:09 AM PT -- TMZ obtained audio from an emergency call where one of Nolan's friends claimed their boat was sinking ... and they sounded panicked.

One of the guys who was with Nolan Wells on Horn Island is going back to the Mississippi beach where he was last seen alive -- and where his body washed up -- and video sets the scene.

YouTuber Brandon Tatum headed out to Horn Island with one of Nolan's best friends, Warren Hudson ... and they anchored their boat and waded ashore in the exact spot where Nolan was hanging out on Fourth of July.

They pan the camera around and show the island -- there are a few other boats there on a Monday afternoon -- and Tatum and Hudson push back on folks who think this was some "secluded" island where Nolan went to party with his friends and no one else.

LeBron James is apparently keeping his own family in the dark when it comes to his next move ... either that, or Bronny James deserves a Son of the Year award for not spilling the beans.

The Los Angeles Lakers guard and the King's oldest kid/former teammate was asked about his pops' free agency process in a recent video ... after streamer Biggy22x initially prompted the 21-year-old to share some motivation to the youth.

His message was nice and all, but what everyone REALLY wants is an update on his dad ... and the internet personality asked Bronny straight-up if LeBron was going to the Golden State Warriors.

The person who filed divorce docs claiming to be Lena the Plug apparently isn't done trying to move the case forward … despite Lena stating publicly she wasn't leaving Adam22.

On Tuesday, court docs were filed by the person claiming to be Lena. The filing, obtained by TMZ, shows a process server delivered a bunch of court docs to Adam22 on July 15 at his $3 million mansion in Studio City, CA.

Adam22 confirms to TMZ he was served with legal papers. He says he wants the police or FBI to intervene in the matter, but hasn't heard back from any agency.

As TMZ first reported, on June 3, a divorce petition was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, which claimed Lena was asking for a divorce from Adam22.

Lena says she's not the one who filed, though.

"A member of the Vice Presidential Protective Division is the subject of an administrative investigation, and potential criminal inquiry, involving allegations of compromising operational and information security." The official adds, "One principle is unequivocal: any conduct that potentially threatens the potential safety of a protectee will not be tolerated."

A Secret Service agent is in hot water with JD Vance after allegedly leaking info to reporters about the VP's travel habits.

The agent, who was not identified, was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal review by federal investigators into the suspected leak to MS NOW correspondents, according to CNN. 

The internal probe stems from the agent allegedly passing information to MS NOW for a July 15 story about members of Vance's security detail being pissed off that they have to provide coverage for the Veep's personal travel schedule, calling it a burden.

Wallace was there processing the scene in September of 2025 days after Celeste's body was found, and said the team performed BLUESTAR tests -- used to find potential blood evidence -- inside the Hollywood Hills home D4vd was renting.
