The murder trial for alleged Tupac Shakur killer Duane "Keefe D" Davis began Monday ... and the much-anticipated opening arguments were 30 years in the making.

The trial's taking place in a Nevada courtroom almost exactly 30 years after Tupac was gunned down near the Las Vegas Strip.

Prosecutors say Keefe planned the murder and produced the gun used to kill Tupac -- though they say he's not the man who fired the fatal shot.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges against him.

Hayden Panettiere spoke lovingly about her daughter in one of her final interviews ... hoping her child would someday understand their many years apart.

The actress opened up to parenting magazine Momé in July -- just weeks before her death -- recalling the traumatic birth of her now-11-year-old daughter, Kaya, and the painful custody decision that followed.

Hayden said she nearly died when she gave birth to Kaya in December 2014 ... she needed seven blood transfusions and three hours of surgery.

Hayden Panettiere's on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson told us she was the textbook "Sunday girl" when we last talked to him ... and three months later she was found dead on a Sunday in an apartment linked to him.

Brian sat down with TMZ's Charlie Neff back in May -- Hayden had a new memoir out at the time -- and it's interesting to look back at the conversation in the wake of Hayden's sudden death.

Hayden and Brian started dating in 2018, and he held their relationship in high regard ... telling us Hayden "is the sweetest thing in the world."

Brian put it like this ... "It's not about who you spend Saturday night with, it's about who you spend all Sunday with, and Hayden Panettiere is a Sunday girl."

Thousands showed up to celebrate Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson becoming a Disney Legend ... and they wound up serving as his daughter's birthday choir.

The Rock was midway through an emotional acceptance speech Sunday at D23 in Anaheim, CA, when he spotted Simone Johnson in the audience and turned his attention to their own Disney history.

The proud dad recalled taking Simone to the Mouse House when she was just 5 years old and having breakfast with the princesses ... then pointed out his eldest daughter had just turned 25.

If Enes Kanter Freedom didn't already have enemies in the WNBA, he certainly has one now ... 'cause the former NBA center says his first order of business in the league is dunking on Angel Reese.

"Sis!" EKF said on X. "Once I go No. 1 pick in the 2027 @WNBA Draft, the first player I’m dunking on is Angel Reese. She’s the Paul George of the #WNBA."

Hayden Panettiere's final Instagram post was a 15-year-old memory ... and the man beside her in the throwback snap tells TMZ he was surprised to see it resurface.

Director and photographer Randall Slavin is the man in the photo, and he tells TMZ ... the black-and-white pic was not recent -- it was taken about 15 years ago at a party inside a friend's home.

He says he recently stumbled across the image on an old hard drive and texted it to Hayden ... but had no idea she planned to share it publicly and was surprised when it was posted on her page on July 27.

Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry are proving love can make you do some deeply embarrassing things ... breaking out their cringiest dance moves in the middle of a hardware store.

The former Canadian prime minister and his pop-star girlfriend filmed themselves grooving inside a Montreal Home Hardware when his 18-year-old son Xavier Trudeau, known as Xav, came on the radio with his new song, "DOWNTOWN."

Justin kicks off the cringe-fest holding a plunger and plastic tubs before awkwardly shuffling and mouthing the words ... then Katy flips the camera around and jumps in with a hoedown stomp of her own.

Adam22 and his wife, Lena The Plug, showed up to court to fight the fake restraining order filed against him ... TMZ has learned.

The hearing was held on Thursday, during which Adam22 and Lena spoke via Zoom. 

Per the minute order, Lena told the judge that she did not file the restraining order, despite it being taken out in her name. She asked the court to dismiss the temporary restraining order … which prohibited Adam22 from coming near his wife. 

The judge signed off on the request and dissolved the temporary order. 

Amid Hayden Panettiere's suspected drug overdose death, the fire department and coroner's office raced to the scene -- and TMZ obtained photos of the emergency response.

In one photo, you can see a fire truck parked and multiple ambulances outside the Greenville, South Carolina residence where Hayden took her last breaths.

In another pic, you can see the Greenville County coroner's truck stopped in front of the same building.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ ... Hayden's body was found Sunday inside an apartment by a friend, who then called 911 to report that the actress was unresponsive and in cardiac arrest.

Geno Auriemma is revisiting his historic run with the Huskies in a new doc ... and the legendary UCONN coach says the experience left him feeling a whole range of emotions.

“Some of it brought back some great memories. Some of it was a little bit painful to look at," the 12x National Champion winning coach told Babcock, adding, "You shake your head and you're like, 'What are you thinking,' you know?”

Like what? "Some of the dumbass things that I said."

Hayden Panettiere was looking forward to a fresh start just three months before her death ... saying she felt she had "a lot more life to live."

Hayden made the heartbreaking comment on Jay Shetty's "On Purpose" podcast in May ... telling him she felt like she had finally shaken off the darkness and negativity that followed her for years.

Asked what she would call her next chapter after releasing her memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning," Hayden said she wasn't ready to name it ... but felt one door had closed and another had opened.
