Eldridge had shared on his Instagram stories earlier in the day that they were ready for their baby to come ... posting a pic of Jessie in a hospital bed.

NBA YoungBoy's 2018 aggravated assault and kidnapping case is coming back to haunt him ... a new video shows the rapper manhandling his then-girlfriend in a hotel hallway in a scene totally reminiscent of Diddy, but his lawyer says it's no biggie.

The 3-plus-minute clip -- which was posted on social media Thursday night -- is tough to watch, due to the brutal violence.

NBA YoungBoy throws the woman to the floor like a ragdoll, and then yanks her around and drags her on the floor.

Kim Zolciak doesn't need to say anything to make it clear she's not happy that her 15-year-old son is still sitting in jail ... because her silence here speaks volumes.

The 'RHOA' alum remained tight-lipped as a photog peppered her with questions about her son Kroy Biermann Jr.'s sexual battery arrest.

Kim was at Palm Beach International Airport -- excuse us, President Donald J. Trump International Airport -- Friday when a pap started grilling her ... and she let her actions do all the talking.

DeenTheGreat got a great deal from prosecutors in his felony robbery case ... and if things go well, he won't see a day behind bars and could be back on a yacht in no time ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, DeenTheGreat -- real name Nurideen Shabazz --agreed to enter a diversion program that will require him to complete classes and other requirements. In exchange, the case will be taken off the docket, and if he meets all the conditions of the program and keeps his nose clean, he won't do any jail time.

The charges stemmed from an incident on May 27 in Miami while DeenTheGreat and friends were partying on a yacht. A woman claimed she got into a verbal fight with DeenTheGreat, which led to him kicking her off the boat.

Rumer Willis' ex Derek Richard Thomas is firing back in their custody war ... accusing her of trying to interfere with his time with their daughter.

In new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Derek says Rumer's claims about his alleged drug use, endangering their 3-year-old daughter, Louetta, and refusing to cooperate are "materially false and misleading."

Jed York was NOT kicked to the curb by the Silicon Valley Leadership Group over his prostitution-related arrest, despite a report to the contrary ... at least according to the organization.

Here's the deal ... a story published Thursday claimed the San Francisco 49ers owner was removed as acting chairman at SVLG after his embarrassing arrest in Ohio.

However, a rep for SVLG tells TMZ ... the story tying York's leadership change to the bust is "false and misleading" ... saying the group's next Board Chair had already been chosen weeks before York's arrest.

The rep says the group's Executive Board unanimously voted August 11 to select Nutanix President Tarkan Maner as its next Board Chair ... after a collaborative process that wrapped earlier this summer.

A shocking photo tied to the Karmelo Anthony case shows one of the Metcalf twins with his hand around his mom's throat.

Atlanta Black Star reports the Dec. 24, 2024 image was cited in a motion filed by Anthony's original legal team ... but the filing does not identify whether the person pictured is Austin Metcalf or his twin brother, Hunter.

Anthony's defense team pointed to the photo as part of a broader effort to show the brothers allegedly had a history of aggression and violence ... evidence they argued could have helped jurors decide who started the deadly confrontation. The photo was never shown to the jury.

Drake just went from Iceman to Iron Man ... rocking Tony Stark's signature armor in Toronto ... and filming what appears to be an upcoming music video.

Drizzy was spotted roaming the Canadian National Exhibition in the iconic red-and-gold Marvel hero armor ... greeting fans and looking ready to drop bars -- or blast somebody with a repulsor beam.

And Drake wasn't flying solo ... another person decked out in a silver Iron Man-style suit was right there with him.

Ben Affleck and Aflac might have something brewing ... at least that's the theory behind a string of mysterious ads popping up across Los Angeles that make it look like there's a collab.

The bright blue Aflac postings feature "BEN AFFLECK" in black spray paint-style lettering across the company's logo ... and the same graffiti-style design has appeared at several locations, making it seem more like a marketing stunt than random vandalism.

Fans have spotted the ads near Jefferson and Centinela, Robertson and 3rd, La Cienega and Jefferson, Sunset and Argyle, and Melrose and Mansfield ... busy intersections that attract a lot of eyeballs.

KJ Dillard is finding healing through his new music ... telling TMZ he's "doing really good" after receiving mental health treatment following the most recent "Summer House" season.

Jax Taylor is speaking out after Brittany Cartwright obtained a temporary restraining order against him ... admitting he made mistakes during the darkest period of his addiction, while strongly disputing her abuse allegations.

Jax says he is "truly ashamed" of how he behaved in 2024 and takes "full responsibility" for it ... but says that version of him is not the man he is today.

The reality TV star says he got help and went to treatment, and is now 21 months sober. He says he remains committed to therapy, his mental health, and changing his life.

Jax says he was shocked to see claims involving alleged incidents from more than two years ago brought up now ... particularly because, he says, no police reports were filed or criminal charges brought against him in connection with them.

Did you have the release of Bane's debut rap album on your 2026 bingo card? Well, buckle up ... because Tom Hardy's dropping bars.

The actor just dropped an album with Czarface -- a group formed by Wu-Tang Clan member Inspectah Deck and 7L & Esoteric -- under the pseudonym Frankie Pulitzer.

If you can believe it ... the songs are actually pretty good, and one is even a collab with rap legends Busta Rhymes and Method Man.

TBH, the stage name works for TH, because his pen is lethal -- even venomous, some would say. But don't just take our word for it ... check out the songs for yourself.

Enes Kanter is turning his WNBA ejection into moolah, baby ... by putting his John Hancock to photographs of the former NBA big man getting tossed from Sunday's Sky game in Chicago.

TMZ Sports obtained video of Kanter, 34, after he landed in D.C. Thursday night, as autograph seekers were already waiting with the goods.

No old Jazz or Celtics shots, here, though ... instead the 'graphers had printed stills of Kanter being escorted out of Wintrust Arena.

He signed them.

Of course, it's a now-infamous moment from last weekend ... when Enes attended the nationally televised game in the Windy City, only for Natasha Cloud to start jawing with him, sparking an intense verbal argument that led to his ejection.

After he was booted, Kanter posted, "I just got kicked out of a WNBA game for supporting WOMEN! Let that sink in, AMERICA!"

Days after the incident, Sky owner Michael Alter moved to ban Enes, labeling him a "potential threat."

The WNBA chose not to follow suit ... opting not to give the story more air.

Brittany says the damage came during a July 2024 incident ... claiming Jax got furious after going through private messages on her iPad.

Hope y'all are hungry heading into the weekend, 'cuz Carmen Electra is lookin' like a fine-apple, and if her latest fruit photos don't appease your appetite, then you clearly haven't worked up a proper one!

Check out the gallery ... at 54 years old, the "Baywatch" babe went topless on a balcony ... covering her nipples with fruit ... and then added a banana to the mix, because apparently one serving of fruit wasn't enough.

See it for your own eyes -- Carmen's getting her potassium fix, sitting pretty while seductively biting into a banana.
