2:03 PM PT -- A Disneyland official tells TMZ ... this afternoon, building materials being used by a contractor produced a reaction backstage at the theme park ... and the area was examined by appropriate response teams.

Several cast members were treated on-site by paramedics and released ... and we're told at least five employees experiencing dizziness and shortness of breath were transported to local hospitals.

Out of an abundance of caution, adjacent areas were cleared of guests -- and are expected to reopen soon.

Scary situation at Disneyland ... multiple people have been taken to the hospital following a hazardous materials incident.

International Women’s Day is here -- not that women need a calendar reminder to prove how powerful they are -- but hey, we’ll take any excuse to celebrate these Hollywood girl bosses running the show!

Savannah Chrisley's prescription weight loss website is under a federal microscope ... 'cause the FDA warned her about making false and misleading claims about GLP-1s.

The feds fired off a warning letter, obtained by TMZ, to Savannah last month ... advising her that they reviewed her website GoodGirlRX and found some issues.

Namely, the feds took issue with some claims her company made concerning compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide products ... the FDA didn't like that she used the phrases "FDA-approved meds," "FDA-approved options" and "clinically proven GLP-1 results."

The feds schooled Savannah, telling her compounded drug products like the ones her site offers are NOT FDA-approved ... and they said she was implying that her products had been "evaluated for safety and effectiveness when they have not."

Pinky Cole, the Slutty Vegan founder who is new to 'RHOA', filed for bankruptcy ... and it looks like she's got a good chunk of debt.

What's more, Pinky says she owes another $192,000 in total to the Georgia Department of Revenue.

There’s a $10 million battle brewing over Hulk Hogan’s beer!

Hogan’s estate filed an objection to a huge, eight-figure claim from a company called Carma HoldCo Inc., after they claimed the legendary wrestler screwed them over in a massive beer deal.

Carma HoldCo -- a celebrity branding company -- says Hulk's “Real American Beer” was actually their idea ... but they were ultimately cut out of the lucrative deal by a couple of former employees who went directly to Hogan.

The company filed the claim on January 20 … accusing the estate of breach of contract.

But Hulk's estate isn't going down without a fight.

Alan S. Gassman, the attorney representing the estate, formally objected to the claim ... according to court records filed on Friday.

The Playboy universe continues to generate controversy nearly 10 years after Hugh Hefner's passing ... because his widow Crystal Harris is firing back at 2 of Hef's former girlfriends, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt -- insisting their ongoing public criticism is fueling a wave of harassment against her.

Crystal tells TMZ ... the former 'Girls Next Door' stars have spent years building platforms painting her as the villain in the name of empowerment and accountability ... all while refusing to handle their issues privately. Instead, Crystal says, they’ve chosen to air grievances publicly.

Crystal tells us their commentary has led to her social media being flooded with gaslighting, hostile messages and even death threats ... adding that no disagreement justifies that level of mob behavior.

Tyra Banks is embroiled in a nasty court battle over her Ice Cream company -- claiming a landlord is attempting a “celebrity shakedown."

Tyra said the landlord knows she lives in Australia and has no real ties to America or D.C., where the lawsuit was filed. She said her move to the land Down Under was well-publicized, and the landlord should have been aware.

An IKEA plush toy is officially swinging into resale madness ... cause TMZ has learned some sellers are asking for serious cash after the retailer sold out.

The frenzy started after viral photos showed Punch, a monkey at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan, clutching IKEA's DJUNGELSKOG orangutan plush for comfort. The sweet moment blew up online, and shoppers rushed to grab the same stuffed sidekick.

Now? It’s a flipping frenzy. A quick scan of eBay shows listings as high as $350, with others going for $269.99, $240, and well over $100 ... a huge markup from the toy's original $20 IKEA price. Some sellers are even tacking on hefty shipping fees, pushing totals even higher.

Hollywood continues to rally around Eric Dane's family in a major way following his death and Hailey Bieber just made one of the biggest moves.

The model and beauty mogul quietly dropped $20K into a GoFundMe set up to support Dane's loved ones following his death after a battle with ALS.

Hailey isn't the only high-profile name stepping up financially. Gwyneth Paltrow's husband, Brad Falchuk, donated $10K. Madonna's longtime manager Guy Oseary contributed $5K, while Disney president Dana Walden also gave $5K. Producer Randall Emmett, known for his past relationship with Lala Kent, matched Falchuk with a $10K donation.

Now that Valentine’s Day is in the rearview, one major fashion brand is helping women file a motion for their hottest chapter yet -- single life -- and they're doing so with the help of celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser.

Laura -- who's orchestrated courtroom uncouplings for Kim Kardashian, Kevin Costner, Angelina Jolie and more -- has signed a legally binding deal of her own with Reformation, fronting a bold new line stamped with unapologetic slogans like "dump him."

Billionaire Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem has resigned from the top spot of major logistics company DP World ... after his links to Jeffrey Epstein put the business in jeopardy.

The multinational company -- owned by the government of the city of Dubai in the UAE -- put out a statement Friday announcing a new world chairman and new group CEO ... positions held by Sulayem.

While the statement doesn't actually name Sulayem, its meaning is clear ... the multibillionaire is officially out the door.

The winds are changing in the hot dog world ... because Nathan's Famous has just been sold to packaged meat company Smithfield Foods.

The fast-food company's top dogs must really be relishing the all-cash deal, too -- they sold Nathan's for a cool $450 million, The Associated Press reports.

FYI ... Nathan's Famous started out in 1916 as a hot dog stand in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York.

The family of the founder of Nathan's Famous sold the business to investors just over seven decades later, and it's grown ever since then. The founder's name is Nathan Handwerker, BTW.

As you know, Nathan's Famous hosts an annual hot dog-eating contest every Fourth of July in Coney Island, where glizzy gladiators like Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi wolf down dogs in heart-stopping amounts.

Chestnut's won 17 out of 19 of the last competitions, setting a world record in 2021 after knocking back 76 hot dogs and buns.

Big changes are underway at Lucasfilm ... because studio president Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down after nearly 14 years ... and George Lucas protege, Dave Filoni, is stepping up as the creative leader.

Lucasfilm and Walt Disney Studios announced the leadership changes Thursday ... revealing Lynwen Brennan as the new co-president.

Filoni -- who worked with George on "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" and helped Jon Favreau launch "The Mandalorian" -- will serve as President and Chief Content Officer.

Kathleen's exit isn't a huge shock ... it had long been expected in Hollywood.

Kim Kardashian is sharing the secrets to her success ... she's teaching a new MasterClass, and it's about the new rules of business.

The billionaire reality TV star's class goes live on MasterClass this Thursday, and we've got a sneak peek at what she's going to be teaching.

Kim's got something she likes to call "The Ten Kimmandments" of business ... and it looks like the class is mostly about building your own brand, which Kim is an expert on, no doubt.

All's not fair for Kim Kardashian ... because her SKIMS store in L.A. was hit by a vandal who defaced the walls with a ton of graffiti -- though cops say they arrested the man who did it.

Check out photos of the West Hollywood locale ... with its white walls covered in black words -- including "we need that" and "Kimmy Bread" -- along with a series of other unintelligible phrases on the wall. Unclear if someone meant any of this graffiti as a shot at Kim or if the white-gray walls simply provided a perfect canvas for a troublemaker. Still, Kim's team is not taking any chances ... we're told they're going to talk to police.

A spokesperson for West Hollywood Sheriff's Station tells TMZ ... they've opened an investigation into the vandalism which the sheriff's office learned about around 5 AM PT. An unidentified male has been arrested for felony vandalism -- with cops thinking he caused more than $400 worth of damage. Officials say a bystander saw the graffiti and called police.

Talk about a girl boss! Hailey Bieber told GQ while she didn't necessarily plan to sell her brand Rhode earlier this year ... she was offered a price she couldn't refuse.

While some may have been surprised by Rhode's hefty $1 billion price tag, Hailey said she would never have sold it for anything less ... "I was just like, 'It's going to be this or I'm not doing it.'"

She added, "I was very determined that I wouldn't do it for anything under that."
