Ariana Grande allegedly praised her viral look-alike Paige Niemann while seemingly dropping a subtle hint about her controversial impersonations ... with Ariana telling Paige she's beautiful as she is, without trying to make her "face look more similar to someone else's."
Paige claims the pop star sent her a DM years ago, and the note was unveiled in Paige's new "Turning The Paige" docuseries.
Paige Niemann disclosed in her documentary that Ariana Grande once sent her a personal DM:
“i am flattered and i am sure you’re very sweet. but i just wanted you to know, i looked back a little ways on your page and i think someone should tell you if they haven’t today that… pic.twitter.com/GxaV1aQl34@TheePopCore
Ariana told Paige she's "flattered" but said she's stunning on her own, explaining, "... you're very beautiful as YOURSELF. without all the make up and trying to make your face look more similar to someone else's and whatnot."
Melania Trumpcashed in big on her documentary ... even though moviegoers mostly stayed home.
The First Lady's Amazon-backed documentary "Melania" turned into a massive payday for her ... with President Trump's newly released annual financial disclosure revealing Melania personally pocketed $10.71 million from the project.
That's an eye-popping haul considering the film reportedly brought in only about $16 million at the worldwide box office -- meaning FLOTUS' payday alone topped half of the movie's total ticket sales.
The filing also shows she earned roughly $521,000 from her memoir ... along with more than $6 million from NFTs and other collectibles.
Jennifer Lopezheard fans were "obsessed" ... so she showed up to see it for herself.
JLo made a surprise appearance at Prime Video's Obsessed Fest over the weekend ... popping out to thunderous cheers before introducing the cast of the streamer's hit series, "Off Campus." TMZ caught video of the moment -- and you've gotta check it out to see the fans absolutely lose it as she hits the stage.
The singer and actress walked out to her own 2011 smash, "On the Floor" ... and also performed "Everything's Fine" as she soaked up the love from the stunned crowd who was no doubt getting loud.
For Danny Pintauro, being the boss of a hit TV show didn't mean he could be make a living as an actor ... so now he's working part time as an Amazon delivery driver to make ends meet.
Speaking on the "Pod Meets World" podcast, the "Who's The Boss?" star explained that acting work simply wasn't consistent enough, so he had to pick up other jobs to pay the bills.
The former child star first revealed his Amazon gig back in April on IG, and says he didn't expect the stunned reaction because everyone in his life already knew he was working outside the industry.
This Amazon delivery wasn't exactly Prime service ... unless driving over a customer's neatly manicured front lawn is now part of the membership perks.
Footage out of Corydon, Indiana, shows an Amazon delivery driver completely bypassing the driveway and instead taking a direct route straight across a freshly cut lawn to the front porch, leaving huge tire tracks carved through the well-manicured grass.
What's even wilder is how unfazed the driver appears -- casually hopping out, dropping off the package at the front door, then reversing right back across the lawn like it's no big deal.

An Amazon spokesperson tells TMZ in a statement ... "We have the utmost respect and admiration for Luca Guadagnino as an award-winning filmmaker — not to mention a longstanding relationship that we hope to continue."
The series "Off Campus" has gotten an intense reaction from fans ... so much so that the show's team is stepping in to call out a wave of online harassment aimed at cast members and people close to them.
In a statement posted to social media, the show's official account urged fans to remember there's a difference between fictional characters and real-life people, stressing that respect should extend to both the cast and their loved ones.
The account also warned that users engaging in targeted harassment could be blocked from interacting with the show's pages.
Donald Trump has become a calm man, a chill dude ... just ask Jeff Bezos.
Forget the late-night Truth Social rages, forget excoriating reporters by calling them "piggy" and "stupid," forget his relentless revenge tour, 2.0 Trump, according to Bezos, is kumbaya.
The Amazon king appeared on CNBC Wednesday and had high praise for Trump, saying he's "a more mature, more disciplined version of himself."
Trump's resorted to name-calling journalists several times in the past couple months ... even telling one reporter she's a "dumb person" only a week ago, because she dared to point out the cost of his new ballroom had skyrocketed.
President Donald Trump made at least $220 million in financial transactions in the first three months of the year ... including purchases in huge tech and media companies.

Discovery, and $15K in Paramount Skydance ... according to two new financial disclosure forms released Thursday by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics.
He also sold securities in some of those same media groups ... including $1.3 million in Netflix, $1.1 million in Disney, and $30K in Fox Corp.
