Spencer Pratt is escalating his war of words with California Governor Gavin Newsom, calling BS on a recent message from the governor's office concerning texts about the Pacific Palisades wildfires.

Remember ... Spencer watched the Palisades home he shared with wife Heidi and their 2 sons burn to the ground in a raging L.A. wildfire in January 2025.

In an Instagram post shared Monday, Spencer revealed a letter sent to him from Gov. Newsom's office, responding to his request for "all text messages to, from, and including Governor Gavin Newsom regarding the 'Pacific Palisades' or simply 'Palisades' between January 6, 2025, and January 9, 2025."

Sydney Sweeney let it all hang out for W Magazine ... she posed nude for a photo shoot dedicated to the year's best performances.

Check out the insanely sexy pics ... Sydney went Old Hollywood glam for the shots, where she wears nothing but a curled coif and a diamond necklace.

In one shot, the photo seems to be rotated on its side, giving the "Anyone But You" star the appearance of floating in mid-air. Her right hand cups her bare breast as she alluringly stares down the camera.

In another, Sydney shoots an over-the-shoulder come-hither look in a dark room where she finds the only light to show off her curves.

Heidi Klum and her husband Tom Kaulitz had yet another titillating beach afternoon this week ... they were all over each other while the supermodel soaked up the sun topless. Keep reading for some trivia about the blonde bombshell below!

Bethenny Frankel's luxury New Year's getaway took a seriously itchy turn because she ended up with a bacterial infection on her face after partying it up in St. Barts.

The former 'Real Housewives of New York' star revealed the uncomfortable situation herself, posting a TikTok Monday ... showing a large rash spread across her face.

"POV: you left St. Barths 3 days early & brought home a bacterial infection," Bethenny captioned the clip ... adding another jab at the island with, "Allergic to St. Barths #bye."

Nanon Williams -- a death row inmate who was befriended by Rob and Michele Reiner -- received an uplifting email from Michele hours before she was killed ... only he didn't get it until days after her death, according to a new report.

Williams told NBC News he learned about the Reiners' murders while skimming news stories on his state-issued tablet at the W.F. Ramsey Unit -- a maximum-security prison about 40 miles south of Houston, Texas -- and immediately messaged Michele, "Please tell me the news is lying."

Locked up since he was 17, Williams has spent his adult life behind bars after being charged with a murder he says he didn't commit. He reportedly became like family to the Reiners over the last decade after they saw a live performance of "Lyrics From Lockdown" -- a spoken-word multimedia performance based partially on Williams' writings.

Ashley Tisdale’s spicy "toxic mom group" exposé sent the internet into full spiral mode -- but TMZ has learned the wild theory that it involved certain celebs or had anything to do with politics is totally off-base... especially since Ashley isn’t even a Republican.

A rep for Ashley tells TMZ it’s unfortunate her "The Cut" essay -- meant to spotlight her experience with a toxic mom group -- is getting twisted into clickbait... adding there’s zero truth to what online "detectives" think they’ve cracked, especially since the piece wasn’t even about Mandy Moore, Hilary Duff or Meghan Trainor like they're assuming.

If that wasn't enough, folks jumped to the conclusion that Ashley’s fallout was tied to her being some hardcore MAGA type -- but her rep shuts that down hard, stressing to TMZ it’s completely false, especially since she’s a registered Democrat.

Mickey Rourke has definitely hit a rough stretch -- but a film director tells TMZ he's stepping up ... dangling a "Scarface" spin-off role to help the actor get back on his feet and earn some cash.

Director Eric Spade Rivas tells TMZ he saw the reports about Mickey struggling -- and wants to help by offering the actor a $1,000 cameo in his upcoming flick "Scarface Resurrection" ... just one scene, about two minutes long, quick in-and-out.

For context -- Mickey signed on to Eric's indie flick called "The Duke of New York" for $5K back in 2020 … then ultimately bailed. But Eric tells us there’s no bad blood -- he actually feels bad about how things went down and wants to make things right this time around.

Tom Brady and Alix Earle sparked plenty of buzz about a possible hookup or romance during a night out in St. Barths, but despite the flirty visuals ... TMZ has learned there was no hookup.

TMZ broke the story ... video we obtained shows the former NFL superstar and the social media influencer leaning in to whisper something in Tom's ear while caressing his back. Her hand lingered long enough to get people talking, especially with drinks flowing and the party in full swing.

But sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the moment was nothing more than drunk, flirty fun at the party. We're told Tom and Alix talked, danced, and flirted on the dance floor, and that's where it ended. No hookup, no late-night rendezvous. In fact, we're told it was the first time they had ever met.

DeRay Davis has a message for the fans who stole from his merch table at a recent show ... something's already missing from your house!

The comedian joked with our cameraperson at LAX Monday that he had already exacted retribution from the thieves after they were caught on camera.

A$AP Rocky is kicking off 2026 with a bang -- with the pending release of his first album in eight years!!!

Remember our viral interview where he was giving us the "runaround" while discussing the album finishing touches? That was over 2 years ago!!!

Tatiana Schlossberg -- the late daughter of Caroline Kennedy and designer Edwin Schlossberg -- is being honored in NYC today ... and we have the somber shots of the family and friends making their way to her funeral.

The Kennedys gathered to mourn Tatiana at the St. Ignatius Loyola Church on NYC's Upper East Side -- the same church that hosted the funeral for Tatiana's grandmother, Jackie Kennedy.

As we reported ... Tatiana tragically passed away December 30 after reportedly being diagnosed with leukemia in 2024. She was just 35.

Ashley Tisdale admits she's bailed on a toxic mom friend group she slipped into ... a clique that might have included some seriously big celeb names like Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, and Meghan Trainor!

The "High School Musical" star didn’t name names, but says it didn’t take long for things to turn ... with Ashley realizing she was being iced out, leaving her feeling like she was back in high school.

In her essay for "The Cut", Ashley says the snubs were constant -- always met with flimsy excuses -- including one brutal moment when the group even planned a girls hang during her own daughter’s birthday!

Derek Hough and his wife Hayley Erbert welcomed a baby girl over the holidays!

The Critics' Choice Awards show's a great time to celebrate some of the most talented people in the biz ... and last night's show was apparently the right place for Chelsea Handler to roast Leonardo DiCaprio.

Here's the deal ... Chelsea, who's hosted the Critics' Choice Awards four consecutive times, blazed through some of the biggest names in Hollywood during her opening monologue before turning her attention to Leonardo, who was up for the Best Actor award, reports the New York Post.

Chelsea pointed out Leonardo almost didn't show up to the show after being "trapped on a boat in St. Barts," which she compared to being on the Titanic, just worse ... because he was hanging out with Jeff Bezos.

Mickey Rourke has been desperately trying to avoid eviction from his L.A. home ... and we now have photos of the actor checking into a hotel.

It's unclear whether MR was officially kicked out of his home, but the 73-year-old Golden Globe winner was snapped Sunday checking into a hotel in West Hollywood with his dog in tow.

Mickey looked a little rough with a bandaged thumb and pants hanging below the waist. He also donned a wig under a cowboy hat, concealing his recently shaved head.

2:26 PM PT -- North West's Instagram account is now back up. Upon her return, she posted a photo on her story featuring music equipment along with the text, "locking in."

North West’s solo IG has mysteriously vanished -- getting the digital axe less than a month after its debut.

Do a quick search for North West’s IG just three weeks after its launch, and you’ll come up empty ... with a "profile isn't available" message.

As for who pulled the plug? Whether North West bowed out on her own, mom Kim Kardashian or dad Kanye West stepped in, or IG hit delete themselves... it's a mystery.
