Breaking News

President Trump just lost hope in the White House -- his trusted aide Hope Hicks left 1600 Penn. with a warm, and slightly awkward goodbye.

Trump and his former Communications Director's Thursday morning photo op featured a kiss on the cheek and 2 firm handshakes. Hope seemed to briefly attempt a friendly father-daughter type hug as they parted ways.

The Prez turned to the cameras and pointed at Hope, possibly giving her a plug for future employment. Makes sense -- he's reportedly referred to her as a surrogate daughter, and the nickname, "Hopie."

Daughter or not, her comment to the House Intelligence Committee about telling "white lies" as part of her job seemed to be too much.

Richard Sherman tied the knot with his longtime GF Tuesday in the Dominican Republic ... and the entire Legion of Boom was there to see him off!!

Sherman might be a member of the hated 49ers now, but the O.G. L.O.B. gang wasn't gonna miss their boy's big day -- Earl Thomas (sweet shirt, bro), Brandon Browner, Byron Maxwell and Kam Chancellor all made the trip ... plus other 'Hawks like Cliff Avril, Ricardo Lockette and Bobby Wagner.

Of course, the spotlight was on Richard and Ashley Moss, who finally took the plunge at an oceanside ceremony ... after years of dating and having 2 kids together.

The reception went down at Punta Cana's Hard Rock Hotel & Casino -- where Sherman couldn't help but sing along to Ed Sheeran during his 1st dance with Ashley.

Former "Smallville" star Allison Mack chased down Mexican cops as they carted away an alleged sex cult leader, and she might be the next one to be thrown behind bars.

It's a bizarre story ... Mexican officials took Keith Raniere into custody in Puerto Vallarta, where he fled last year. Raniere co-founded a purported self-help group called Nxivm. Authorities now believe the group is a cult which brands women with Raniere and Mack's initials and forces them into sex slavery.

Mack, who played Chloe Sullivan on "Smallville," is believed to be second-in-command to Raniere.

Former Nxvim publicist Frank Parlato blew the whistle on the group last summer, and got video of Mack standing by helplessly on Monday as Mexican cops arrested Raniere.

Laura Ingraham picked a fight with the wrong 17-year-old ... her show's now facing David Hogg's wrath ... wrath in the form of a boycott.

The Parkland leader ordered his more than 600,000 followers on Twitter to boycott advertisers who sponsor Ingraham's show on FOX News. The call comes on the heels of Ingraham tweeting Hogg whined about getting rejected by 4 colleges, including UCLA.

Hogg posted a list of 12 companies -- including AT&T, Allstate, Hulu and Trip Advisor -- who advertise on "The Ingraham Angle" and then tweeted at them individually asking why they support cyber bullying.

Truth be told ... TMZ contacted Hogg and asked if he was disappointed about not getting into 4 UC schools despite a 4.2 GPA and spearheading the nationwide March For Our Lives rally. He actually did the OPPOSITE of whining.

Ingraham eventually did apologize in a series of tweets.

Janice Dickinson will be among the 5 women who will testify against Bill Cosby in his upcoming rape trial ... TMZ has learned.

The judge in the case has allowed prosecutors to call 5 women to show an M.O. on the part of Cosby.

Janice claims in 1982 Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in Lake Tahoe. She says when she woke up her pajamas were off and there was semen between her legs.

The alleged victim in the case, Andrea Constand, also claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted in 2004.

3:31 PM PT -- Mansield PD just released a statement saying the alleged assault was captured on video cameras inside the residence.

Detectives got a search warrant last week, and seized the footage. MPD says they reviewed the footage today ... before an arrest warrant was issued for Boykin.

Cops say Boykin was arrested at his home -- without incident -- and transported to jail.

Bond has not yet been set.

NFL QB Trevone Boykin is in custody after being arrested Wednesday for allegedly punching his girlfriend and cracking her jaw ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Boykin was being investigated by cops in Mansfield, Texas after he was allegedly involved in an altercation with his longtime GF, Shabrika Bailey, last Wednesday.

He has been arrested for aggravated assault with serious bodily injury.

TB -- who was cut by the Seahawks on Tuesday -- vehemently denied any involvement in a physical fight with Bailey.

However, Bailey -- in an interview -- told a different story, claiming Boykin choked her and broke her jaw before finally taking her to the hospital for treatment.

J Lo and A-Rod's latest purchase screams they're in this thing for the long haul -- or maybe just the kick-ass views from their new home ... the first they've bought together.

We got these pics of the $15.3 million apartment the couple just snapped up, and the place is insane. It's 4,000 sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms and that's all inside the 432 Park Avenue -- known as the world's tallest residential building.

We kinda got the feeling they'd get a pad together, since J Lo put her 26th Street penthouse on the market for $27 million last October. Btw, Alex and Jen didn't even break the bank, as far as this building is concerned. A Saudi retail mogul reportedly bought the penthouse for $87.7 million!

Danny Amendola and Olivia Culpo are back on the market ... 'cause the couple has officially called it quits after a 2-year relationship.

There's been speculation surrounding their status over the past week after both sides scrubbed each other from their Instagrams ... which is always an early sign of a trip to Splitsville.

O.C. confirmed the news with Access Hollywood on Wednesday ... saying "We are broken up and it's just so fresh for me. I really don't feel comfortable talking about it."

The 32-year-old Danny and 25-year-old Olivia first met randomly while walking the streets of Hollywood back in 2016 ... and shared a memorable kiss on the field after D.A. helped the Pats win the 2018 AFC Championship game.

It's a sad day for fans of the relationship, but on the bright side ... these 2 hotties will probably find new love in no time.

Jared Fogle's making a new desperate attempt to be released from federal prison, and this time he's calling on President Trump ... even though he's completely misguided. Fogle, that is.

The convicted child pornographer filed a petition for a writ of habeus corpus. In non-Latin, that's a direct appeal for his jailer to release him. As we've extensively reported, Fogle has already made multiple appeals to judges to let him out ... which have all been shot down.

As with previous appeals, Fogle has come to believe the conspiracy charge against him is BS -- and in docs, obtained by TMZ, he says he never would've pled guilty had he known back then.

It's a totally futile effort, most likely, but here's what's really weird. Fogle's supposed to file this document against the warden of his prison, which he did, but he also included the Prez as a respondent ... complete with 1600 Pennsylvania Ave on the document.

Maybe he's hoping for a pardon, but that would require filing a totally different document.

7:45 AM PT -- Law enforcement now tells us, Corey told police he believed he was being followed. At some point, Corey's bodyguard, who was a passenger in his car, shined a flashlight toward the other car. At the next light, one of the guys in the car that was following Corey got out and confronted the bodyguard. Another guy went to the driver's side and Corey says the guy stabbed him with some sort of syringe or other sharp object and then the car took off. Cops now say there is some sort of mark on Corey's abdomen.

Cops believe it was a road rage incident and the call went out as an assault with a deadly weapon.

6:45 AM PT -- Corey told the police the attacker appeared to be following him, and whatever the person allegedly stabbed him with was "long and sharp." We're told he feared it was a syringe, and went to the hospital to make sure he hadn't been injected with something.

6:20 AM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us, although Feldman claims he was stabbed, there was no evidence of a laceration ... no cut to his abdomen. Cops tell us they don't know if Corey suffered any other injuries, but there was nothing visible on his body. He was admitted to the hospital in stable condition.

Corey Feldman has been hospitalized after he says a total stranger stabbed him in the abdomen and then escaped.

Corey says he was stopped at a traffic light Tuesday night in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley -- with a security guard -- when 3 men approached the car. He says while his security was distracted by the 3 guys, a car pulled up and another attacker jumped out, stabbed him and fled the scene.

Corey rushed to a hospital after the attack, and that's when LAPD was informed of the attack. Cops are now investigating, but Corey thinks he knows who's responsible.

He says he's been getting online threats from some group of people he refers to as the "Wolfpack." Corey adds, "I have reason to believe it's all connected! Enough is enough!"

"Teen Mom" star Ryan Edwards really killed the mood -- one day after he and his wife announced they're expecting their first child, he went and got his ass arrested.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the 30-year-old was busted Tuesday at his house in Tennessee when cops executed a warrant for violating probation. We're told he posted bail Wednesday morning. He's already on probation for a previous heroin case.

Ryan reportedly had a $10k-a-week heroin addiction before going to rehab -- and MTV cameras captured him slurring his speech and falling asleep at the wheel on his way to his wedding last year.

Farrah Abraham's calling off the dogs in her $5 million lawsuit over a tongue lashing she says she got on "Teen Mom OG."

Farrah and Viacom, MTV's parent company, reached a settlement ... according to docs she filed Tuesday, requesting the lawsuit be dropped. She had sued because she claimed executive producer Morgan J. Freeman harassed and humiliated her over her porn career. She claimed he was so hostile during a meeting that she "feared for her life."

Farrah had high hopes for the case, telling us it would make the world a better place for women.

Bill Cosby's legal team doesn't want the jury to hear a phone call Andrea Constand made to her mom, and is asking a judge to bar it from his retrial ... TMZ has learned.

According to new legal docs ... Cosby's lawyers claim his accuser's call in January 2005 -- in which she tells her mother she was drugged and molested about a year earlier -- is hearsay and shouldn't be allowed.

Both Constand and her mom, Gianna, testified about the call during Cosby's first trial ... which ended in a mistrial.

A woman who had to flee that Harlem building that went up in flames during a movie shoot is suing director Ed Norton's production company for misleading her during the blaze.

The woman says she was in her apartment when the fire started last week in the building's basement, but according to her lawsuit ... someone from the production team for the film -- "Motherless Brooklyn" -- told her it had been extinguished.

That was not the case -- as we reported, more than 200 firefighters responded to the five alarm blaze before it was finally knocked down early Friday morning.

In the suit, she ended up having to "run for her life" down dark stairways, engulfed in smoke ... and feared she would die in the inferno.

She made it out safely, but she says all her belongings were destroyed, including grad school text books, jewelry, her child's artwork and all her forms of personal ID.

Norton is directing the movie and co-starring with Bruce Willis. Officials have not determined if the production is responsible for starting the fire, which killed one firefighter.

Another guy allegedly connected to Gronk's home burglary has turned himself in and is behind bars ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported ... Gronkowski's house was burglarized on February 5 while he was in Minnesota for the Super Bowl.

Law enforcement tells us 28-year-old Eric Tyrrell turned himself in to Foxborough Police Tuesday afternoon ... after being sought for two counts of receiving stolen property. He's being held on $10,000 cash bail.

Another man, Anthony Almeida, 31, was arrested last Friday for B&E Nighttime, two counts of Receiving Stolen Property, and Malicious Destruction of Property.

Police say they recovered an Apple Watch, a Rolex, and 2 rare coins. They are still looking for multiple firearms that were taken.

LiAngelo Ball just backed up his NBA draft decision in a BIG way -- scoring a season-high 72 POINTS in a Big Baller Brand Challenge game in Lithuania!!

LiAngelo's lifetime performance vs. one of the Guangdong Southern Tigers' youth teams came just hours after his agent, Harrison Gaines, announced they filed the paperwork to make the middle Ball bro eligible for the 2018 draft.

This is probably all part of Coach LaVar's master plan -- having all the BC Vytautas players endlessly feed Gelo the rock on the heels of the big news.
