David Walliams has been dropped by his agency after being accused of grooming and sexual assault.

Independent Talent Group announced they're no longer representing the entertainer "in any capacity" after he was named as the UK celeb fighting to keep the press from identifying him.

The agency said ... "ITG is deeply disturbed by the allegations concerning David Walliams. Our thoughts are with anyone who has been affected."

Sofia Franklyn is questioning whether her friendship with Alex Cooper was ever real ... six years after their explosive "Call Her Daddy" breakup.

The podcaster opened up about her former co-host during Tuesday's episode of Amanda Hirsch's "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast ... admitting she still has doubts about the friendship they shared before their very public falling-out.

"Obviously, I question, like, was the friendship ever real?" Sofia said, adding ... "Maybe it was real for her in how she thinks friendships should be. I don't know."

The "I've Had It" podcast hosts who issued an apology about laughing at a Charlie Kirk joke are over all the outrage ... and enjoying the huge audience it has brought in.

Jennifer Welch and Angie "Pumps" Sullivan released a new episode on Tuesday ... in which they once again dove into the controversy of a recent episode.

Welch says this is just proof that conservatives are scared of the two of them ... because they're doing everything they can to take the duo down.

Halle Berry hasn't been able to see her son Maceo much in the last month and a half, and her ex-husband, Olivier Martinez, wants more dough because it's costing him more to care for the boy the lion's share of the time.

Remember, before the incident between Halle and her 13-year-old son that went down September 26th, she and Olivier had 50/50 joint custody. Olivier beelined it for court to get a TRO, claiming Halle put Maceo in a headlock. The judge issued the TRO and said for the time being, Halle would only get occasional visits with her son, which amount to 18%, not 50%.

Now Olivier is saying as long as that order remains in place, it's costing him more every month because he has Maceo 82% of the time. So he's asking the judge to up the ante on child support.

Florence Pugh has a few choice words for Meta after it restricted her post about the alleged gang rape at Cornell University ... and she's not holding back.

The actress addressed the controversy in a new interview with Elle ... saying, "No one f***ing censors me. Don't even try. That's just going to add fuel to the fire."

Florence explained she felt compelled to speak out because she cares deeply about women and believes allegations of sexual violence should never be brushed aside. She also credited her father with teaching her to stand up to bullies and defend people who don't have the same platform she does.

9:07 AM PT -- Miranda Hope and Chase McWhorter tell TMZ ... "After much thought and consideration, we've decided to finally let the government in on the worst-kept secret: we're not together. We understand this news may come as a shock to absolutely no one, and hope everyone can take the time they need to process during this incredibly predictable time."

They continue ... "We hope this officially puts the Ross and Rachel comparisons to rest. Please direct all further questions to our attorneys, who are thrilled we're finally getting around to this."

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... Miranda and Chase are going to share custody and time with their children. We're told it's been a mutual decision for some time now, it just took time to get it all organized.

Miranda Hope and Chase McWhorter's relationship has been over for a while ... but it seems she's now looking to make it official -- filing for divorce less than two months ago.

According to court records obtained by TMZ ... Miranda filed to divorce Chase back in September -- though she has apparently opted to keep all documents related to the split under wraps. The Sun was the first to report.

Per records, it does not appear that Chase has responded to Miranda's filing yet.

Miranda and Chase married in 2017 ... but in 2024, she announced they had divorced -- though she seems to have meant that figuratively, instead of literally.

Bella Hadid is kissing those "just friends" rumors goodbye ... packing on the PDA with cowboy Nathan Lacy at a hockey game.

The supermodel shared a series of photos from Saturday's Colorado Avalanche game in Denver ... showing her and Nathan getting VERY cozy, with the two cuddling, sharing kisses, and wrapping their arms around each other in the stands.

And these two weren't exactly hiding their affection ... with Nathan playfully biting Bella's chin in one shot and the pair sharing a tight embrace in others.

Tony Romo is back on TV ... the quarterback-turned-commentator popped up out of nowhere on Pat McAfee's "Monday Night Football" altcast, his first media appearance since his OWI arrest this summer.

And nobody saw it coming ... 'cause ESPN didn't promote the cameo at all.

Romo joined "Field Pass with Pat McAfee Show" on ESPN2 for Monday's Bills-Vikings game, calling in remotely early in the second quarter ... with McAfee billing him as the show's quarterback expert.

Romo broke down the first-half defensive slugfest, and dished advice to Vikings QB Carson Wentz, saying he should be force-feeding Justin Jefferson.

Donald Trump calling into C-SPAN is, apparently, the funniest thing ever ... or, at least it was to a mystery woman who upstaged the president's rare appearance on the channel.

POTUS placed a call into C-SPAN Monday night -- a seemingly impromptu dial-in to Mimi Geerges' "Washington Journal Primetime" -- and immediately a woman, not seen in the TV studio, was absolutely in stitches.

Check out the clip ... Mimi thanks the prez for coming on -- and, just as he starts speaking, a woman bursts out laughing.

'Looney Tunes' voice actor Eric Bauza left behind a hefty sum for his son and family members, TMZ has learned. 

Eric’s brother, Edgar Alan Bauza, filed court docs seeking to serve as executor of the estate of the actor who voiced Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety, and Porky Pig.

Per the petition, Eric left behind a will naming Edgar as executor of the estate, and the docs show the estate has an estimated $700k in personal property, and another $848k in equity from real property, for a grand total of more than $1.5 million.  It's unclear whether there are any separate private trusts with additional assets.

Sean Strickland's latest off-the-clock stunt starred ... his Amazon delivery guy -- who the UFC middleweight champ let take his dirt bike off a ramp, and it did NOT go well!

The driver lost control while landing and went down hard ... but popped right back up and appeared totally fine.

Sean addressed the crash on X, explaining what went down. He says he gave the guy a couple of tips before he attempted the jump, including hitting the ramp in 2nd or 3rd gear to prevent doing a backflip from too much torque. Unclear if the driver listened, but he went down either way.

Katy Perry wasn't exactly singing Russell Brand's praises after their marriage went up in flames ... and now her past comments about the comedian are resurfacing following his rape and sexual assault conviction.

Katy called her ex-husband "very controlling" in a 2013 interview with Vogue, claiming Russell wasn't a fan of her being the boss while she was on tour.

She also admitted she initially blamed herself for their divorce until she discovered what she called "the real truth" about their breakup. Katy never spilled the details, saying she was keeping that information locked away for a rainy day.

Bruce Willis’ youngest daughter, Tallulah Willis, is telling the person who secretly spoke out about her dad’s health to “stay away” from her family.

Tallulah addressed a report this week that included a quote from a source … who said Bruce “acts like a baby now.” The actor retired from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.

In her post, Tallulah went off after reading the article. She said, “It struck me because the people who love him throughout the world have expressed to me, when I've shared photos, that there should be real, discernible mindfulness on what is posted.”

She continued, “So the “friend,” “family member,” or source who shared that he 'acts like a baby now?” How is that acceptable? Who are you?”

Sofia Franklyn is dishing about her time with Alex Cooper in her new memoir, "Daddy Issues," and Alex may not want to pick up a copy because of her not-so-flattering portrayal.

In the book, Franklyn describes an incident involving Cooper -- with whom she co-hosted the popular podcast, "Call Her Daddy," from 2018 to 2020. Cooper now hosts the podcast solo after Franklyn's exit.

Franklyn says the incident involved Cooper's on-again, off-again boyfriend at the time, MLB pitcher Noah Syndergaard, who had split up with Cooper at the time.
