Hayden Panettiere would have turned 37 today ... but sadly the celebration will be more of a remembrance.

As TMZ previously reported ... the "Nashville" star had big travel plans to be with her daughter in Germany today ... as part of a trip she told her friends she was ecstatic about.

Unfortunately, Hayden never got to make the trip.

Donald Trump's frenemy and former fixer has been doing quite a bit of sucking up, especially now that he needs a presidential pardon.

In a new clip from his interview with Trump, Michael Cohen was acting all buddy-buddy with the prez, saying ... "Boss, you remember when I was by your side? I literally used to analyze the polls."

This is the latest on Cohen's road to reconciliation with Trump ... after testifying against him in the 2024 hush money trial where he was convicted on 34 felonies.

Brian Hickerson is breaking his silence following the death of Hayden Panettiere ... but he isn't saying much.

Brian's attorney, Sloan Ellis from the Ellis Hinton law firm, tells TMZ ... "Hayden's death remains under investigation and it is important to allow that investigation to proceed."

The statement continues ... "As has been publicly reported, police confirmed there were no signs of foul play."

It ends ... "Out of respect for Hayden's loved ones and the ongoing investigation, there will be no further comment at this time."

John Paris has got a ways to go on his road to recovery ... involving 2 major surgeries, according to a new update on his condition.

In a new post, the Standing for John Paris Facebook page shared that the Earth, Wind & Fire drummer woke up again from his coma ... and this time was stable enough for doctors to evaluate him.

According to the update, the doctors ran some addition tests and determined that John will need "two major surgeries."

This means the musician will be in the ICU "longer than everyone had hoped" while recovering from his scary medical emergency.

Mama June's daughter Pumpkin says OnlyFans is paying off in a major way ... revealing she recently had her biggest day yet on the platform, pulling in as much as $15K.

Pumpkin joined TMZ's Towanda Robinson on the "TMZ Podcast" and told us she cleared the $10K mark on her very first day after joining OnlyFans ... and says just last week she hit a new high, earning between $14K and $15K in a single day.

The reality star has no plans to leave the platform ... and she says the success has been a "huge deal" for her, and she's been humbled by the response.

Pumpkin tells us the opportunities and financial stability the platform has brought her family are major blessings.

Nick Cannon will be taking "Wild N' Out" and its hilarious jokes on the road full-time... because we've learned they're leaving their traditional format behind to focus on the live tour.

Rip Micheals -- one of the executive producers of "Wild N' Out" -- tells TMZ ... the show is officially getting rid of its traditional format, which saw the show film at a central location with an in-studio audience.

For the next season, Rip says the show will be doing a live tour and taping it ... collecting the footage from a series of different cities ... much like the hit show "Verzuz."

Diane Warren is giving West Hollywood's most famous runaway pig a new lease on life ... telling us Wilbur is officially safe and headed to a sanctuary after his wild sprint through the streets.

We got Diane Thursday at her office in Hollywood, and she told our photog she had no idea saving Wilbur would become such a big "pig deal" ... but she's grateful she and Marcia Zwilling, who helps run her rescue ranch, were able to step in.

Diane, who's a proud vegan, says people kept texting her about the viral piglet, so she immediately called Marcia and told her, "Let's save him."

Sarah Jane Nader's pirouetting into the new season of "Dancing with the Stars" just like Brooks did a couple of years ago ... but there's one big difference ... sources tell us Sarah is paired up with a female pro.

The brunette bombshell was spotted leaving the 'DWTS' dance studio Thursday in a low-cut black athletic top and form-fitting sweats ... keeping a low profile with an opaque facial covering obscuring her features, while making sure to show plenty of cleavage.

Other big-name contestants include Jenna Dewan, Tatyana Ali, Tyler Cameron and Jimmy Kimmel's sidekick Guillermo.

Before this silly girl making a face at the camera turned into an actress, she was just growing up in North Carolina -- singing, dancing, and acting!

When she's not acting alongside her costars Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline, she enjoys doing her makeup -- you may recall her Fenty Beauty posts.

Ryan Lochte's fiancée, Molly Gillihan, says it's not fair for his ex-wife, Kayla Rae Reid, to call her a homewrecker ... since there wasn't much of a marriage to wreck when she entered his life.

TMZ's own Charlie Neff sat down with Molly for a wide-ranging interview after Kayla blasted her to People ... telling the outlet Molly was DMing Ryan before they split -- and calling her behavior "quite sick."

Molly says the characterization of her as the other woman is totally unfair ... because she says Kayla never said a single word about trying to work things out with Ryan ... at least in Molly's interactions with Kayla.

Karmelo Anthony allegedly sent his then-girlfriend a photo of a knife and talked about stabbing someone shortly before he killed Austin Metcalf ... according to evidence jurors never heard.

The alleged messages surfaced Thursday during a hearing on Karmelo's push for a new trial, according to multiple reports from Dallas-area outlets.

Prosecutors say Karmelo's girlfriend told a school administrator she was scared of him ... and Karmelo allegedly later texted her a knife photo and wrote, "I'm lowkey on the verge."

Perez Hilton will be able to see his kids while his mother has temporary custody ... but only if certain conditions are met ... TMZ has learned.

New court docs obtained by TMZ show a judge granted Perez visitation with his three children -- but it must be supervised by either a family member agreed upon by both sides or a therapist.

There's another condition ... Perez must first obtain psychiatric clearance, and the supervised arrangement stays in place until the court orders otherwise -- or Perez and his mom agree to something different.

Donald Trump's team trolled Ariana Grande once again by using her music in one of the President's social videos ... and again, the superstar told them to get bent.

Trump posted a rally video to TikTok that included several messages about his "truth" -- all set to her hit "we can't be friends."

The post said, "men can't have babies and should never compete in women's sports."

As she's done before ... AG essentially told him to STFU, saying in the comments ... "Never use my music again. Also, your truth is false."

A source tells TMZ Ariana's label is working to have the song removed from the post.

Patrick Mendes claims his estranged wife, Thais Ramone, stepped out on him ... and when he discovered her alleged affair, he claims she kicked him out of the house.

The "90 Day Fiancé" star made the allegations against Thais in a new legal document filed Wednesday ... telling the court he found out about Thais' alleged affair on or around April 11, 2026.

He says that after he found out Thais was cheating on him, she demanded he leave their marital home. Patrick says he vacated the house on May 6.

Julia Stiles and Tatyana Ali are getting ready to bust a move ... because TMZ has heard they are among the cast for this season's "Dancing with the Stars."

Production sources tell TMZ ... the actresses have been tapped for the upcoming 35th season ... joining Guillermo Rodriguez, Maura Higgins, and Ciara Miller.

As you know ... Tatyana starred on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and "The Young and the Restless" -- and Julia was the leading lady in the classic flicks "10 Things I Hate About You" and "Save the Last Dance."
