Gia Guidice -- who was just announced as the winner of "Special Forces" -- is reflecting back on her time on the reality TV show ... and she tells us there wasn't a day during filming that she didn't end up crying.

Gia joined the show for the 4th season with her mother Teresa Giudice ... where the two were faced with intense tasks mimicking brutal situations military forces undergo in training -- and Gia was announced the winner on Sunday night's season finale.

Gia told us there wasn't a day during the show that she didn't shed tears -- but ... "As each day went on, I was just like, 'I can't give up.'"

Blake Lively is a fearless flyer ... because she's doing some shopping at Trader Joe's amid her expensive legal war with Justin Baldoni.

The "It Ends with Us" star was spotted shopping Saturday at the Trader Joe's in Westport, Connecticut ... which seems like an odd place to find a Hollywood star.

TJ's is super budget-friendly -- it's no Whole Foods or Erewhon, folks -- and on its face, it looks like Blake may be pinching pennies here as the legal bills from the Baldoni lawsuit continue to pile up.

Jill Freud, a British actress who provided C.S. Lewis with the inspiration for Lucy Pevensie in "The Chronicles of Narnia," has died.

Jill's daughter Emma Curtis announced her death Monday, posting ... “My beautiful 98-year-old mum has taken her final bow. After a loving evening -- where we knew she was on her way -- surrounded by children, grandchildren and pizza, she told us all to f*** off so she could go to sleep. And then she never woke up. Her final words were ‘I love you.’”

Born June Flewett, Jill moved in with C.S. Lewis and his companion, Jane Moore, when she was just 16 after evacuating London to escape The Blitz bombing by Nazi Germany. She stayed with them at their country house as a housekeeper, and eventually Lewis based the youngest Pevensie kid, Lucy, on her.

Ja Rule is finally admitting to having his noggin punched up a bit backstage at Brandy and Monica's NYC tour stop ... and firmly believes had he been a white rock star named Bruce Springsteen instead of a Black rap star, his attackers would be arrested!!!

Ja addressed the entire situation on his IG Live Sunday morning. From his account, he and his homeboys were backstage and set to go onstage as part of Brandy and Monica's star-studded cameo rollout when 3 dudes socked him in the back of the head, causing him to fall and tussle on the ground.

Ja initially claimed the entire ordeal was fake news and the jumping was only attempted ... he's now owning up to the scuffle.

Newly freed rapper Max B was also backstage at the time ... but Ja was adamant Max had nothing to do with the fight and cleared his name.

If you’ve got the Monday blues, here’s your silver lining ... Kylie Jenner just dropped another bikini selfie -- and OMG, she looks damn good!

Check out the IG photo dump -- Miss Kylie was feelin’ herself Sunday, squeezing that envy-inducing figure into a teeny silver metallic bikini ... serving poses in the mirror and shower.

Kylie was straight-up smokin' in the pics -- and she kept the vibe going on IG Stories, dropping a lil’ golden-hour video just to finish us all off.

Ice-T is cooling folks off about the chatter over his lighter "Law & Order: SVU" screentime ... telling us straight up, it’s not drama -- it’s the budget.

TMZ caught up with Ice as he and wife Coco -- who celebrated daughter Chanel’s 10th birthday at New Jersey’s American Dream Mall on Saturday -- and he told us SVU bosses basically had to pick who got the bigger budget ... his Sgt. Odafin “Fin” Tutuola, or Kelli Giddish, AKA Detective Amanda Rollins.

While we might feel a little offended on his behalf that they didn't choose him, Ice says it’s all good ... the cutback means more family time, more side projects -- and he even dropped some inspo: "Give me free time, I find free dime."

Justin Bieber took a pee after he hit the tee, watering the rough during a Sunday golf outing in Palm Springs.

In the leaked pics, the 2-time Grammy winner appeared to get caught with his fly open as he played a round.

He was reportedly seen sipping some IPAs beforehand ... which would certainly explain his need for immediate relief. As every golfer knows, there aren't a whole lot of porta-potties on the fairways of most courses.

Singer D4vd -- a suspect in the presumed homicide of Celeste Rivas -- had a freezer large enough to store a body -- a relevant fact since her body had apparently been frozen for months.

Check out this photo of D4vd's rental home -- it was taken a few years ago, and it shows the kitchen had a KitchenAid refrigerator/freezer. The freezer side of the appliance has a height of around 74 inches, a width of around 14 inches, and a depth of roughly 27 inches. The temperature can get as low as minus 8 degrees Fahrenheit.

Celeste was 5'3" and 120 lbs. TMZ broke the story, her body was found in a bag in D4vd's Tesla -- it was decapitated and the arms and limbs cut off, so it could have fit in the freezer if the shelving inside had been removed. BTW ... a torso for a 5'3" woman falls between 15 and 17 inches long, and 14 to 15 inches wide.

Lizzo just opened up about the start of her weight-loss journey two years ago -- and says back then, she was in such a dark place she was suicidal.

The singer -- who’s dropped 16% of her body fat -- says she was severely depressed when she first started losing weight in fall 2023 ... especially with the whole world turning its back on her in the middle of what she calls a vicious scandal -- the sexual-harassment lawsuit filed by three of her former backup dancers.

Lizzo wrote in a Substack post this weekend she shut out her loved ones and couldn’t trust anybody ... and was desperate to change how she felt about her body -- especially after years of hanging onto relationships that were deeply toxic and abusive following her dad’s death in 2009.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson gave fans a history lesson worth the price of admission at Universal Studios Hollywood, derailing a backlot tour to greet everyone on the tram.

The 53-year-old actor announced he was there shooting "Jumanji 3" -- his first time shooting a movie in Los Angeles in a long time -- and addressed them in full wardrobe.

While his appearance was special for the crowd, it may have been more meaningful for Rock. He revealed to the screaming fans, "Life comes full circle, because I started my career here on this lot filming a little movie you guys might have seen called 'The Scorpion King,' so it's really cool to come back."

Actor Udo Kier — who landed famous roles in “My Own Private Idaho” and "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," has died.

His partner, Delbert McBride, confirmed to Variety that Kier passed away Sunday.  His close friend, Michael Childers, posted on Facebook Kier died in a hospital in Palm Springs, California. A cause of death was not released.

The German-born actor had a long and illustrious Hollywood career, spanning decades with over 250 credits from 1966 to 2025. His final role was as Hans in "The Secret Agent."

Jon Gosselin is giving marriage another shot ... tying the knot with his longtime girlfriend Stephanie Lebo in an intimate Pennsylvania ceremony -- with some of his kids there for the big moment.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the couple exchanged vows in a low-key ceremony at The Barn at Silverstone in Lancaster, PA -- surrounded by 180 loved ones.

Two of Jon's eight children he shares with ex-wife Kate Gosselin -- Hannah and Collin, who are now 21 -- were in attendance. Collin stood right by his father's side, serving as one of the groomsmen.

LeBron James was quite the football player in high school ... but how about football?? USMNT player Diego Luna tells TMZ Sports he woulda been a BEAST on the pitch in his prime!!

There's always an athlete claiming they could dominate another sport ... so when we ran into Luna at LAX this week, we had to ask which American jock could actually pull it off for the Red, White, and Blue.

"LeBron man, put him up top," Luna said. "Scoring goals, just bossing people around. That would be pretty sick."

Diddy's working hard behind bars ... wrapping up after an honest day's work in new videos obtained by TMZ.

Check out the clips of the music mogul wrapping up his work for the evening on Friday at Fort Dix's media library located in the chapel, where he helps give movies and religious materials to inmates.

Diddy, wearing a brown knit cap to cover his gray hair, seems to be readying to stay for awhile ... removing his scarf and blue coat to reveal his gray prison uniform. Later on, he puts the jacket back on and takes his leave.
