Post Malone fell flat on his ass on the floor attempting to backflip off a chair Monday ... slightly painful, unintentionally hilarious, all caught on camera during a live stream.

Mario Rodriguez -- the man who accused Tyler Perry of sexual battery last week -- says friendly text messages the two allegedly exchanged don’t undermine his claims and are actually consistent with his account.

The model and actor told PEOPLE ... “I want to briefly respond to what’s being said about me right now. People are pointing to messages where I was polite, grateful, or vulnerable — and trying to use that to discredit me.”

He continues, “When someone has influence over your career, your income, your future, you don’t feel free. Survivors often stay cordial. They often ask for help when they feel desperate.”

Rodriguez adds that the messages don’t negate his allegations. “That does not mean abuse didn’t happen. Those text messages were sent at a time when I was especially vulnerable, as can be seen from the context. Continued financial support and access are not inconsistent with abuse — they are often part of the power dynamics that follow it.”

"Owning Manhattan" star Chloe Tucker Caine says she swiped left on the man who would eventually become her husband several times ... before her mom took over her dating apps.

The breakout reality star stopped by "TMZ Live" Monday and imparted a bit of wisdom for anyone in the market for a spouse.

Chloe told us ... "A lot of times our parents see the best in us and they see a lot of times what we're missing."

But it took some serious convincing for Chloe to hand over the fate of her romantic life to her mother. Her mom persuaded her this was the way to go based on her own life experience. According to Chloe, her mother admitted to her that she picked someone based solely on looks ... and didn't want her daughter to suffer the same fate she did.

Cops say there was already a warrant out for her arrest in the system, so officers ordered her to step out of the vehicle and they detained her in handcuffs.

While detained, Grace allegedly asked if she could bring her purse with her to the detention center ... and cops say they found a container of pills inside the bag labeled "Happy Pills."

After a promising start to getting the rehab he desperately needs, former 'Ned's Declassified' star Tylor Chase is back on the streets, TMZ has learned.

"Mighty Ducks" star Shaun Weiss tells TMZ ... Tylor was evaluated by a mental health crisis team after Jacob Harris -- the owner of Shipwreck Barbershop in Riverside, California, who has been a major advocate for Tylor -- called them. The crisis team placed Tylor in a 72-hour involuntary psychiatric hold, but they inexplicably released him, according to Shaun.

Shaun says, "They were supposed to hold him and then transport him to a detox facility that we had arranged. Instead, they let him out without contacting any of us."

According to Shaun, when Jacob found Tylor back on the street in Riverside late at night last week, the crisis team was called again. This time, they once again assessed Tylor to be a danger to himself -- Shaun tells us he was told Tylor was "smoking meth during the evaluation with no shoes or jacket in the freezing cold."

But Shaun says they still left him out on the street. Shaun also tells us ... despite some fans' well-meaning gestures to help Tylor out by giving him money on the street, that's been working against his recovery.

Chappell Roan shared a sweet tribute to Brigitte Bardot after the French film legend died over the weekend ... and she yanked it from Instagram just as fast after the singer learned more about the controversial icon.

Here's the deal ... Brigitte died at the age of 91 -- and among those who shared their sorrow was Chappell, who wrote ... "She was my inspiration for 'Red Wine Supernova.' Rest in peace, Ms. Bardot."

Seems CR was only aware of Brigitte as a French blonde bombshell and her tireless work to protect animals ... and not so much about her outspoken xenophobia and homophobia.

Clearly, word got back to Chappell ... and she replaced the tribute with a mea culpa, writing "Holy s---. I did not know all that insane s--- Ms. Bardot stood for. Obvs, I do not condone this. Very disappointing to learn."

Britney Spears doesn't seem to be in the holiday spirits ... it appears she took a shot at her family for their Christmas get together without her.

The pop star posted a scathing message on Instagram Sunday, seemingly directing her angst at her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, Jamie Lynn's husband, Jamie Watson, their daughters Maddie and Ivey, as well as her mother, Lynne Spears, and her oldest son, Sean Preston, whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Brit wrote, “Merry late Christmas to my beautiful family who have never disrespected me, harmed me, ever done anything completely unacceptable or caused unbelievable trauma, the kind you can’t fix. To my dear sweet innocent family… so so sorry I was busy this Christmas but I will definitely show up and surprise you soon.”

Earlier in the week, Jamie Lynn and the others posed for a Spears family holiday pic, which she uploaded to her IG account. It was this photo that apparently rubbed Brit the wrong way, prompting her angry response.

Following the tragic death of Mickey Lee, an eerie video from her "Big Brother" season has resurfaced, showing her recapping an ominous palm reading she'd received.

In the video ... Mickey jokes that fellow houseguest Ava Pearl -- who tells fortunes by reading palms -- told her she had a short lifeline ... indicating that she would die young.

Mickey recounts that when she asked Ava, "Wait, am I going to die?" Ava responded, "Wait. Maybe that's not the right line."

Houseguest Ashley Hollis added that Ava awkwardly digressed by saying, "'Um, you know ... Let me do Ashley's.'"

While it gave the reality stars a good laugh at the time, it now gives a very serious sense of doom.

Santa seems to have worked a miracle in Kardashian land ... because Kim and Kanye not only hung out together with their kids -- but they also got along!

Beyoncé is officially joining the three-comma club ... becoming only the fifth musician to reach the humongous milestone, according to Forbes.

The famed magazine -- which prides itself on tracking the fortunes of the rich and famous --made the announcement Monday, revealing Queen Bey now joins an elite group of billionaire musicians that includes Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna, and Beyonce's own husband, Jay-Z.

While Beyoncé made a fortune from the "Renaissance World Tour" -- which grossed nearly $600 million in 2023 -- Forbes attributes her massive wealth in part to reinventing herself in 2024 as a country music star.

To put it in perspective ... Forbes says the "Cowboy Carter" tour grossed more than $400 million in ticket sales and pulled in another $50 million in merchandise at shows. The outlet projects she earned $148 million in 2025 before taxes ... making her the third-highest-paid musician in the world.
