Arrests

Prosecutors say D4vd's Tesla was not only storing Celeste Rivas' decomposing body, it was also loaded with nearly a dozen air fresheners when her remains were found ... and they showed photographic evidence in court.

At least 11 air fresheners were scattered throughout the Tesla ... according to photos shown in court Wednesday as part of D4vd's preliminary hearing.

LAPD criminalist Chelsea Murillo said the air fresheners were in the center console, the rear seats and the front trunk ... where Celeste's remains were decomposing in two bags.

When ya think about it ... the presence of 11 air fresheners seems to offer a possible explanation for why Celeste's decomposing body was not sniffed out sooner ... despite weeks of scorching summer temperatures leading up to the grisly discovery.

Interscope Records stayed in business with D4vd for eight months after he allegedly murdered Celeste Rivas ... and while that may sound shocking, nuance and clarity are needed to understand why.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the timeline is paramount here because Interscope took action as information about the case became available from LAPD.

For instance ... prosecutors claim D4vd murdered Celeste in April, but her body was not discovered until September 8, when her remains were found in his impounded Tesla.

At that point, we're told Interscope made the call to stop promoting him immediately. Full stop.

D4vd's former friend Aysia Collins says she completely turned her back on the singer following his arrest ... and now she wants justice for the girl he allegedly murdered -- Celeste Rivas.

Aysia -- who says she met the singer while modeling on one of his sets before later working as a stylist on his tour -- is opening up about the backlash she has faced over their former friendship.

Check out the clip ... Aysia addresses her relationship with D4vd, her cooperation with investigators, and explains why she believes people are focusing their anger in the wrong direction.

D4vd remained under contract with Interscope Records for eight months after he allegedly murdered Celeste Rivas ... with the label cutting ties just four months before his arrest.

Louis Poimiroo -- Interscope's senior vice president of finance -- testified Wednesday during Day 2 of D4vd's preliminary hearing ... confirming the singer's contract through Mogul Vision was terminated in December 2025, and no payments were made to him in 2026.

The timeline is striking ... prosecutors allege D4vd stabbed 14-year-old Celeste to death inside his Hollywood Hills home on April 23, 2025. Just three days later, he released his debut studio album, "WITHERED."

Poimiroo testified Interscope paid D4vd and entities connected to him more than $5.1 million between 2022 and 2025 -- including roughly $2.3 million in 2025 alone. The payments covered recording funds, legal and management fees, and other expenses tied to his music career.

A Missouri man jumped ship during a police chase ... exiting his moving car and diving off a bridge into the lake below ... and it's all on video.

Gavin Thor Lundgren -- a 26-year-old man from Kimberling City -- was arrested Saturday after police say he refused to comply with a routine traffic stop and led them on a wild pursuit that saw him dart across a two-lane bridge and dive into Table Rock Lake.

Dashcam footage shows the driver getting out of his car and swan-diving.

Kim Delaney's husband, James Morgan, was arrested for public intoxication after allegedly getting into it with the former "NYPD Blue" star and a flight attendant during a recent trip ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Morgan was arrested and booked Monday after landing at Los Angeles International Airport. We're told he and Delaney flew into L.A. from Detroit on a Delta flight, and the couple allegedly got into an argument during the flight.

We're told Morgan was also involved in a separate incident with a flight attendant. It's unclear what sparked either confrontation.

Bud Light didn't find anything humorous in Dustin Poirier's arrest last month ... 'cause the fighter just revealed the beer giant wasted no time firing him from his lucrative sponsorship deal after the incident.

"They terminated my contract immediately. It's all good, man. I don't need that f****** poison in my life," Poirier told Ariel Helwani during an interview on Tuesday.

"It sucks that my family is missing out on the money I had left on the deal with them, which was a few hundred thousand dollars, but also if I'm representing something I'm not gonna be taking part in, promoting stuff, it is what it is."

Teresa Giudice's daughter, Milania Giudice, is proving sisterly love can survive just about anything ... even a call to the cops that leads to an arrest.

Milania posted a video on social media Tuesday, showing her dancing with sisters Gia, Gabriella and Audriana Giudice. She captioned the post, "i love you my sisterssss."

It's interesting to see Milania having a good time with Gabriella ... she's the sister who called police on May 14, telling officers Milania was acting erratically and throwing food and candles inside Teresa's New Jersey mansion.

Gabriella's phone call led to Milania's arrest.

Mackenzie Shirilla is trying to breathe new life into her latest appeal ... but Ohio prosecutors say she's merely recycling arguments the court already rejected.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office urges the Supreme Court of Ohio to deny Shirilla's motion for reconsideration ... arguing she has not raised a single new issue warranting another look at her case.

Prosecutors acknowledge reconsideration can be used to correct a decision later deemed erroneous ... but say it is not available when someone simply reargues their case.

Celeste Rivas' parents made the trek into court on Tuesday ... looking serious as they arrived for the preliminary hearing in D4vd's murder case.

Jesus Rivas and Mercedes Martinez were spotted walking down the street in downtown Los Angeles ... holding hands on their way into the courthouse ... and looking solemn.

Celeste's parents have attended some of the prior court proceedings ... so it's not a total surprise to see them in court today ... but today's prelim won't be any easier for them to stomach.

A murder suspect behind the wheel of a Range Rover led California Highway Patrol officers on a high-speed chase through Los Angeles County Tuesday morning ... reaching 117 MPH on a busy freeway before crashing on a surface street.

The suspect exited the freeway into a neighborhood near Paramount Boulevard and Bradbury Drive in the South San Gabriel Valley ... where the Range Rover sped through an intersection and struck a car, veering onto the sidewalk.

CHP caught up to them and performed a textbook PIT maneuver to disable the Range Rover.

D4vd's preliminary hearing begins today, and over the course of this week the prosecution will be presenting an avalanche of evidence in court as they try to convince a judge there's enough to warrant a murder trial ... and it's expected to get graphic.

The proceedings are finally getting underway after a few delays ... back in April, D4vd was arrested charged with first degree murder in the stabbing death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

D4vd -- real name is David Burke -- is also charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14 and unlawful mutilation of human remains.

It will be interesting to see what evidence the prosecution has -- they say they have DNA evidence, surveillance footage, text messages and phone records -- but they've already laid out some of it in court documents ... claiming D4vd and Celeste began a sexual relationship when she was 13.

Andrew and Tristan Tate are gearing up for a major legal battle ... 'cause their lawyer says they're "100 percent" fighting extradition back to the United Kingdom.

Lawyer Joseph McBride tells TMZ ... fighting extradition is a high bar, but he'll argue there are special circumstances why the brothers shouldn't be sent back. He says they're not a flight risk, pointing to what he calls their total compliance with the courts over the past three years. According to McBride, they haven't missed a single court date in either their Romanian human trafficking case or Palm Beach defamation case.

McBride says the brothers were "startled" when U.S. Marshals in plain clothes wearing vests and badges approached them during Saturday's arrest and ordered them to put their hands behind their backs.

D4vd's asking if he can ditch his handcuffs for his preliminary hearing in Celeste Rivas' murder case.

According to NBC 4 Los Angeles, the singer filed a motion requesting his cuffs and other restraints be removed for the prelim, which is set to start tomorrow.

D4vd's attorney, Blair Berk, said in the motion that he's never tried to escape or been disruptive, arguing that his 5 court appearances have all been uneventful.

Andrew and Tristan Tate are used to a life of luxury ... but now the two brothers are cooling their heels in a federal lockup -- and eating crappy prison food instead of lobster and steak.

The brothers are currently incarcerated at FCI Miami -- a low-security detention facility in Florida -- while awaiting extradition to the United Kingdom to face charges of rape and sex trafficking.

The food in the UK gets a bad rap ... but it's a delicacy compared to jail menus in the United States ... and we fond out what they've been eating since their arrests.
