Nick Reiner has been indicted for allegedly murdering his parents -- Rob and Michele Reiner -- and special circumstance allegations have been added.

According to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office ... Reiner pled not guilty Wednesday to two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders and murder by means of lying in wait after a grand jury indictment was unsealed. He also faces another special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife.

Special circumstances can increase potential penalties for Nick if he's found guilty at trial. It's unclear if prosecutors plan to pursue the death penalty, but it opens the door for the D.A. to pursue capital punishment if Nick is convicted.

Russell Westbrook just closed the book on his legendary NBA career in the most Hollywood way possible.

The 37-year-old former MVP posted an emotional video on social media on Wednesday, titled “The Museum of Unspoken Answers,” narrated by his buddy Michael B. Jordan.

NBA YoungBoy's mom just went scorched earth after her son said in a recent interview he likely won't speak to her again ... ripping his skills, or lack thereof, as a father.

Here's the deal -- the rapper appeared on "Open Thoughts" Tuesday and said his mom was a source of his previous anger. He then went on to suggest they'd never talk again ... though he said he loves her from afar.

This set his mom, Sherhonda Gaulden, off ... and she took to Instagram to claim he's an absent father who doesn't speak to his own kids.

She also claimed to be present for his "Open Thoughts" interview, but then backtracked when she realized she was thinking of a different interview.

Damon joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday to discuss the context behind the video he posted, showing a Walmart employee asking him to leave the store, claiming he is trespassing as he attempts to buy random customers' groceries.

To new viewers, it appears confusing as to why Walmart would exile Damon for attempting to do a good deed ... however, according to videos he's posted in the past, he seemed to cause many issues with the store before.

The State of Florida dropped the case, and the public conversation quickly shifted toward questioning her allegations, contradictions, and gaslighting. When one narrative collapses, another accusation suddenly appears. Welcome to another episode of ‘The Real HouseLies of Annemarie’ Three attempts. Three failures. At some point, it stops looking like protection and starts looking like a pattern. #AnnemarieFatigue

Alex Rodriguez tried to get the word out about a new meal prep company ... but we're not sure anyone heard about their protein-packed options -- because they were distracted by his meat.

The former MLB star jumped on social media to push premade meals from a company called Tempo ... and while his lips were moving in his video, the noticeable bulge in the front of his pants was really doing all the talking.

His A-Rod was barely being contained by his tight jeans -- and the comments quickly filled up with chatter about his little slugger.

Tyga's having a rough rollout for his latest album ... because Pitchfork just gave it an impressively awful 0/10 rating ... and it sounds like robots did him no favors.

He continued by delivering a lethal blow ... "Its very existence has made the world a worse place."

Miller slammed the musician for admittingly using A.I. on the project, saying ... "I'm not saying the record is A.I.-generated; all I'm saying is that I was personally able to generate a song that sounded exactly like '$TARFACE,' assuming it had included a song about a critic trying to write a review of a Tyga album."

Ariana Grande was spotted for the first time since she announced she plans to break free from the public eye.

AOC responded with a smile, "I don’t comment on my private life – thank you." She refused to answer any of the follow-ups either.
