Sydney Sweeney is back at it, addressing those rumors she's hooking up with her "Anyone But You" costar Glen Powell -- and doing her best to make you believe there might have been something there.

The actress says she's been A-OK with the swirling speculation despite being engaged to Jonathan Davino -- but as for Glen, he's had a rough time with it all ... especially following his split from GF Gigi Paris earlier this year (which only escalated the rumors).

Speaking to Glamour, Syd says their time filming in Australia was a beautiful experience for them, so Glen's distress over the situation dampened the overall mood ... but she still cares for him a lot.

When it comes to her IRL romance with fiancé Jonathan, she likes to keep it on the DL ... cause she's wary of people building celebs up to tear them down.

For the record, Jonathan's been involved in the rom-com as a producer, and Syd calls him her "producing partner" ... insinuating there'd be no opportunity for behind-the-scenes hanky panky with Glen.

Though there's plenty on-screen ... with SS and GP seen in a steamy naked shower scene in the trailer -- so imagine how raunchy the full-length, R-rated film will be!

And, that's exactly what Sydney, Glen and the studio behind the film want you to do. It's show BUSINESS, folks.

Jennifer Lopez says she and hubby Ben Affleck still suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder from the media frenzy during their first go around as a couple over 20 years ago.

J Lo sat down for an interview with Variety to promote her new album and film by the same name, "This Is Me ... Now," which documents her latest love affair with Ben and their marriage in 2022.

During the chat, J Lo started talking about her first relationship with Ben back in the early 2000s, revealing they both have PTSD to this day as a result of the media craziness.

The two were supposed to tie the knot in 2003, but they canceled their plans and eventually broke up.

Then, in 2021, they got back together and had a whirlwind romance before walking down the aisle together the following year.

J Lo now says they have a much better handle on all the scrutiny that comes with fame since "we're older" and "we're wiser."

She added, "We also know what’s important, what’s really important in life, and it’s not so much what other people think. It’s about being true to who you are."

J Lo admits some members of her team weren't so keen on her publicly sharing the intimate details of her relationship with Ben.

But she ignored them, saying, “As artists, we have to follow our heart and this is me following my heart and doing something that maybe everybody didn’t think was the best idea, but I had to do it."

Mauricio Umansky seems to be enjoying life as a single man ... 'cause he was having the time of his life on the ski slopes with singer Anitta and YouTuber Lele Pons.

Mauricio said, "Some fun [Shenanigans] about to occur," in a video uploaded on his social media Wednesday, showing off the ladies with big smiles in Aspen -- telling folks he's Anitta and Lele's videographer and to go to their socials to check out the fun.

Well, Anitta shared some BTS clips of her and Lele stripping off their snow gear and donning a towel instead ... with Mauricio filming the whole thing.

Looks like the girls decided to head down the mountain while rocking just a towel and sipping on champagne, with Mauricio capturing it -- Anitta called him "the best videomaker."

Of course, Mauricio's snow fun comes as his ex, Kyle Richards, appears to be relaxing in Punta Mita, Mexico ... sharing a snap of her on the beach with the caption, "Sometimes we just need to escape reality for a bit."

Typically, Kyle and Mauricio do Aspen together, and the fact they're not this year seems like a significant event in their nearly 6-months of separation.

Now, Mauricio's hijinks with influencers might be just that -- Lele is married, and Anitta's been linked to music producer Murda Beatz.

A Vermont State Trooper arrested a motorist for flipping him the bird and calling him an a**hole five years ago -- but the insane encounter was all caught on video and recently uploaded to YouTube.

It all began on February 8, 2019, when state trooper Jay Riggen was driving in his patrol car and saw Gregory Bombard seemingly give him the middle finger while cruising by in another vehicle.

Pissed, Riggen pulled Bombard over on a residential street and stepped up to his driver's side window, sparking the ensuing confrontation.

In the newly released dash cam video on YouTube, Riggen immediately accuses Bombard of flipping him off -- but Bombard denies it, saying the trooper must be "sensitive."

Riggen gets even more annoyed at the sensitivity remark, explaining that he hasn't stopped anyone in 12 years for giving him the finger.

He also called it "unusual behavior," suggesting that Bombard was looking to get the attention of a trooper by giving off that "negative signal."

The two keep arguing about it with Bombard, at one point, asking what crime was committed if he had extended his middle finger. Riggen doesn't exactly say, leading Bombard to threaten to file a complaint against him.

Riggen eventually climbs back into his patrol car and follows Bombard's vehicle down the street, while still steaming from their squabble.

Inside the patrol car, Riggen can be heard saying Bombard called him an "a**hole" and told him "f**k you" as he walked away. The trooper then turns on his lights and sirens, announcing that he's arresting Bombard for disorderly conduct.

The rest of the video goes down exactly as you might imagine with Bombard taken away in handcuffs and thrown in jail. But the charges were later dropped against Bombard and the case was closed.

Jason Oppenheim, president and founder of the famed Oppenheim Group, is now representing Kanye West in the sale of his Malibu beachfront estate, and there's been some criticism Oppenheim should not represent an antisemite, but we've contacted some high-end realtors who feel it's absurd to have a litmus test on which clients they will represent.

The L.A. realtors we've spoken with say there is no way in this divided social and political climate anyone can do business by excluding clients whose views they find offensive. The example that repeatedly comes up is the war in the Middle East. As one high-end realtor put it, "What are we supposed to do, ask a potential client if they side with Israel or Palestine?"

An extremely successful L.A. realtor begged to differ, saying, "Wait a minute. Kanye is one of the biggest antisemites in the world. I would never represent him, ever."

But another realtor said, "Are we supposed to see if a client is a registered Republican and say screw you, I'm not representing you?"

It goes beyond religion and politics ... one realtor said, "What if a client has an offensive post on Instagram? Or what if a client's in the middle of nasty divorce and I side with their spouse?"

Several realtors said it's ridiculous to think they would Google every prospective client to look for a reason not to represent that person.

And one realtor, who was at one time a practicing lawyer, said it's absurd to think an attorney would judge a client before taking a case, adding, "It's just not reality."

And a realtor we spoke with said what if a client had a different view on gay marriage? He said, "At some point it just becomes impossible to do business."

That same realtor asked, "What about the buyer who pays Kanye $53 million for the Malibu property?" before adding, "What if Kanye goes to a Mercedes dealership. Should they not sell him a car?"

Michael Bublé welled up with emotion speaking of how his son Noah's liver cancer battle reset his priorities ... now focusing on his family rather than his ego and power.

Upon learning his son had been diagnosed with hepatoblastoma at the age of 3 back in 2016 ... he explained a curtain was pulled over his eyes -- making him realize that while he loved his family, he was tuned in on becoming the biggest and best in his career.

Speaking to Steven Bartlett on "The Diary of a CEO podcast" ... Michael said he promised to abandon his ego ... and live a better life if they got through Noah's health woes.

He also wanted to be kinder and empathetic -- and never live his life carefree anymore.

Britney Spears hasn't yet scheduled a flight heading east for the holidays, but her mom still believes a last-minute Christmas miracle might happen in the 11th hour ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... there are still talks about Britney returning home for Christmas in Louisiana, where her mother Lynne Spears still resides.

Now, we're told official travel arrangements haven't necessarily been made at this point -- but our sources tell us Lynne and people in Britney's world feel like there's time on the table to make something happen ... and we've been assured Lynne herself is certainly hopeful.

It's unclear what exactly the holdup might be on Britney's end -- especially considering she just recently hosted Lynne here in L.A. for her 42nd birthday and appeared to be on great terms with her mom.

Sounds like Lynne's leaving the ball in Britney's court ... and praying for some movement. BTW, she signaled this same feeling to us on camera not too long ago at LAX.

Whether Brit ends up jetting on over or not remains to be seen -- but our sources tell us ... everyone in this situation feels like Britney should realize she has one mother, and since they've already started patching things up ... they oughta be together for the holiday.

The Kardashians and Jenners are never one to shy away from the cameras ... especially when it comes to family Christmas photos!!!

TMZ did some digging and uncovered some throwback family snaps from Decembers past ... and it's amazing to see Khloe, Kourtney, Kim, Rob, Kendall and Kylie back in their younger days ... posing with Santa Claus and Kris Jenner.

Naturally, there are some super cute outfits ... like matching sweaters with reindeers, Christmas trees and presents ... plus some traditional flannel pajamas. Oh and don't forget the bows in their hair!

The throwback pics really show how much Kris' kiddos have grown up over the years ... and it's really sweet to see the joy and smiles on their faces during the holidays when they were kids ... we all remember how that feels.

Warren Moon says Aaron Rodgers deserves a lot of credit for shutting down his comeback efforts this week ... explaining to TMZ Sports things could have turned dire for the QB if he had continued his push to get back on the field.

The Hall of Fame quarterback -- who knows a thing or two about playing into his 40s -- said on Wednesday he's glad Rodgers has decided to stop his pursuit of rejoining the Jets this season because he had a real fear the 4-time MVP could reinjure himself.

"Those Achilles injuries," Moon said, "even though the Achilles might be connected again, it still has to become much stronger."

Rodgers revealed on "The Pat McAfee" Show on Tuesday he would not get back under center for NY in 2023 despite busting his ass since he suffered the injury on Sept. 11 -- because he's just simply not 100 percent.

He told McAfee his leg is close -- but he needed another 3-to-4 weeks to really feel good about things. And, with the Jets officially eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday, it just seemed to make sense for the 40-year-old signal-caller to put his focus on getting ready for 2024.

Moon obviously thinks that's a great plan ... telling us that even if NY had been in the postseason hunt, he still would have rather sat Rodgers.

"I still don't think he should come back if he's not 100 percent," he said.

His advice to Aaron going forward was just to stay in shape -- while making sure his team makes it a priority to surround him with a good offensive line next season.

American actor David Krumholtz was 16 years old when he landed the role of Bernard The Elf -- the grumpy head elf of Santa's workshop with an exceptional work ethic -- in the family holiday film "The Santa Clause" back in 1994.

David shared the comedic film with Tim Allen as the marketing director and recent divorcee-turned-Santa Clause, Scott Calvin... Eric Lloyd as Scott's son who wants nothing more than to believe in Santa, Charlie Calvin, and Wendy Crewson as Scott's ex-wife who believes her son should know the "truth" about Santa, Laura Miller.

Over the years, Krumholtz reprised his role as Bernard The Elf ... most recently last year on Disney+'s "The Santa Clauses."

Mariah Carey is back on the market ... because she and boyfriend Bryan Tanaka have reportedly called it quits on their relationship.

The "All I Want For Christmas Is You" singer had been dating her backup dancer since 2016, but 7 years into their relationship it's all fallen apart.

Things aren't working out because 40-year-old Bryan wants to have a family ... and that's just not where 54-year-old Mariah is in her life ... according to Page Six.

Mariah has kids with Nick Cannon, but Bryan has never been a father.

Mariah's been followed by rumors recently that she and Bryan were no longer an item ... and she pretty much confirmed as such earlier this week when she went shopping alone in Aspen.

Bryan's been by her side in Aspen on previous Christmas trips to Colorado ... so when he was MIA it was a big sign of trouble in paradise.

Mariah's also been on tour and Bryan's been noticeably absent ... and now we know for sure they are done.

Remember ... Mariah and Bryan started seeing each other way back in 2016 after she called off her engagement to James Packer.

Mariah has known Bryan since 2006 ... he's been a longtime backup dancer for her. They briefly broke up in 2017, before getting back together.

But it sounds like they are done for good this time.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are going full tourist in the Big Apple ... sightseeing in the city from a tour bus rented out for their family.

Bey and Jay hopped on the Tea Around Town tour bus Wednesday with Blue Ivy and other friends and family in tow ... riding around Times Square and hitting tourist spots.

The famous family also stopped by the Saks 5th Avenue holiday window display, cruised by Rockefeller Center to see the massive Christmas tree from all angles and even had time to make a stop at Bryant Park.

It's pretty incredible to see Beyonce and Jay-Z on a freaking tour bus in his hometown ... but hey, this must be their idea of an "Empire State of Mind."

Of course, there were a lot of little kiddos on the bus too ... so this may have been tailored to some out-of-town relatives visiting for the holidays.

Beyonce and Jay-Z went with a tour bus company offering 90-minute tours featuring afternoon tea with scones, plus sweet and savory treats.

Bam Margera proposed to his girlfriend Dannii Marie  ... and she accepted!!!

The former "Jackass" star and pro skateboarder tells TMZ ... he popped the question Oct. 27 in New Hope, PA at the home of pro skater Ed Duffy.

Bam and Dannii dated for about 6 months before he dropped to one knee and proposed ... and Bam tells us he kept the engagement mostly under wraps, only telling a few people.

It's unclear when Bam and Dannii will be walking down the aisle ... but the engagement is another sign things are looking up for Bam.

As we first reported ... Bam is now 100 days sober and counting, he's working out and skateboarding again and just got granted monitored visits to see his son Phoenix.

Us Weekly was first to report Bam's engagement, and he told the outlet Dannii is the main reason why he's sober and turning his life around.

Mariah Carey's reign as the Queen of Xmas is only getting stronger ... as she journeyed to D.C. to spread some festive cheer at the White House.

In a post shared to her IG Wednesday, the singer posed with President Joe Biden ... with her 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe in tow.

Wearing a glittering minidress and matching cropped jacket for some extra Christmas flare, Mariah was in her element as she also got snap-happy with Kamala Harris & her hubby Doug Emhoff.

In the caption, Mariah gushed about all the extensive festive decor she saw during the visit ... which took place last week with her brood.

The twins have been popping up a lot lately in their momma's Christmas-related ventures ... most recently in the music vid for the upgraded version of her classic, "All I Want For Christmas Is You."

Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels is giving back to the community for Christmas ... partnering with Raising Cane's to deliver hundreds of bicycles to a Boys and Girls club.

The Louisiana State University quarterback, who recently won college football's most famous award, donated 100 bikes Monday to the Boys and Girls Club and Big Buddy organizations in Baton Rouge.

Jayden and Raising Cane's founder Todd Graves also donated $20,000 to the Greg Brooks Jr. Victory Fund ... a fundraiser for Jayden's LSU teammate who is battling a rare form of brain cancer.

"This is something that I always wanted to do is to just give back,” Jayden said on Monday. "Me growing up, I always wanted to be seen as a role model."

Meanwhile, in Arizona, actor Rob Schneider helped deliver 100 bikes to the Boys and Girls Club of the Valley in Phoenix ... also courtesy of Raising Cane's.

Logan Paul went down to South Park and got his ass roasted ... 'cause the satirical show just went after the WWE Superstar and his Prime drink company in its newest special.

"South Park: Not Suitable for Children" just dropped on Paramount+ on Wednesday ... and one of its many targets just so happened to be the YouTuber-turned-entrepreneur.

In a clip of the show, character Clyde Donovan sits in front of a computer as he watches an influencer named Logan LeDouche (who looks very similar to Paul) hawk his drink brand, "Cred" (which shares the same appearance to Prime Hydration bottles).

"The most important thing is just to be yourself," LeDouche says in the scene. "When I feel like I can't be myself, that's when I need a hydration drink that'll pick me up -- that's when I need Cred!!"

The spoof even mocks Logan's over-the-top marketing campaign for the company ... which included jumping out of a plane as he drank a bottle of Prime.

"Drink Cred, or you're a piece of s***!!"

The scene also pokes fun at the company's controversial energy drink ... which was scrutinized by Senator Chuck Schumer, who said it could be harmful to Logan's primarily young fanbase -- even though its cans specifically state it's for people ages 18 and up.

"Drink Cred at your school today!! Not intended for children," the narrator in the clip says.

Logan seems to be okay with it all ... 'cause he recently shared the clip on his social media accounts
