Hilary Duff brought her Small Rooms, Big Nerves tour to New York City Tuesday night ... but her sister Haylie was busy hanging out with Ashley Tisdale and their kids following the "toxic" mom group drama.

Check out the snap Haylie posted on her Story Tuesday -- it shows her 7-year-old Lulu playing under a table with Ashley's daughter Jupiter, 4. Ashley showed her seal of approval by reposting the story to her own account.

Notably, it's reported Ashley sold Haylie her Studio City, Calif. home in 2016, so there's some history between the pair. Haylie is now based out of her home state of Texas.

Ryan Reynolds' camp is defending his unsealed texts from the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni legal war ... and their position is he's a good husband sticking up for his wife.

A spokesperson for Reynolds tells TMZ … "Yes, Ryan got involved -- what husband wouldn’t support his wife and the mother of his children? He saw his wife fighting daily to stand up against sexual harassment in a private and respectful way, only to face retaliation for doing so."

The rep adds ... "If anything, Ryan feels like he wasn't angry enough. He passionately believes in and will stand up for the basic right to a safe workplace free of harassment and retaliation for his wife and others. Then, now, and always."

Sydney Sweeney shouldn't get a free pass for lacing the iconic Hollywood sign with brassieres ... at least according to an artist who got arrested for changing the landmark to read "HOLLYWEED."

Zach Fernandez, also known as Jesushands, tells TMZ … when he famously altered the Hollywood sign in 2017, he got arrested for trespassing and had to pay a fine and complete community service. SS should be held to the same standard.

As we first told you, Sydney's stunt was legally dicey ... and now Zach says she should be held to the same standard as him.

Kanye West's most recent apology for his antisemitism is falling flat ... at least as far as Rabbi Shmuley Boteach is concerned.

Rabbi Shmuley, an influential American rabbi and TV personality, took a blowtorch to the full-page ad Ye took out in The Wall Street Journal apologizing to "Those I've Hurt."

Ye, in part, blamed a car crash that nearly killed him 25 years ago for his hate speech ... but the rabbi says Kanye is far from the first person to blame a blow to the head on antisemitism. Then he doubled down and insisted his apology is not a P.R. stunt ahead of his album release Friday ... Boteach is calling B.S.

Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt are already talking next steps after welcoming their baby last month ...  and yeah, marriage is very quietly hovering in the background!

Speaking to Us Weekly, Pete said they do talk about the future -- “I think, obviously, we talk about next steps and all that stuff" -- but right now they’re fully in survival mode with 1-month-old daughter Scottie ... focused on locking in a routine and, in his words, "keeping her alive."

What is on their minds? More kids. The couple says they definitely want Scottie to be a big sister, with Elsie admitting she’s already had the "I want to do it again" feeling.

Spencer Pratt started working on his reputation as a villain long before he became one on reality TV ... he's admitted he once sold snaps of a teenage Mary-Kate Olsen partying with her then-boyfriend, Max Winkler, for a whopping $50,000!

Spencer spilled the deets in his brand new memoir "The Guy You Loved to Hate: Confessions from a Reality TV Villain" ... and he's saying he doesn't regret it a single bit.

Here's the deal ... he writes his pal Max -- the son of actor Henry Winkler -- had just gone through a split with Mary-Kate ... but still had a "shrine" of photos with her in his room. He describes the images as "young love documented in European hotels, Hollywood parties, stolen moments."

Hudson Williams spends a substantial amount of time sans clothes in HBO's "Heated Rivalry" ... so who better to give the "Shut Up Evan" podcast step-by-step instructions for how to put on a cock sock?

This interview did not disappoint ... Hudson starts with the description -- "It's like a ballet slipper meets a Crown Royal bag." Got it. Now for the technique ...

Hudson admitted he learned everything he knows from costar Connor Storrie. While Hudson struggled to figure out the modesty cover, Connor cracked it almost immediately.

So, first things first ... you gotta squat!

There’s a troubling update on Quinton Aaron’s health after his recent hospitalization ... TMZ has learned doctors have found a rare cyst on his spine.

Family sources tell TMZ the cyst was discovered after a series of tests, and doctors are now running more exams to determine whether it’s benign.

We’re told back surgery is now on the table ... and if that happens, the 40-year-old actor will face extensive physical therapy and could be confined to a wheelchair for some time.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet must've packed light for their trip to Los Cabos, because they went shopping for some sexy swimwear ... and it's all on video.

Check out this viral footage showing Kylie and Timothée browsing around a clothing shop in Mexico this weekend ... they go straight for the bikini section, and TC helps KJ pick out the perfect piece.

We saw Timothée wearing the same hat around a Cabo marina, and we've seen Kylie rocking a skimpy black swim top at their swanky, oceanfront resort ... but it's unclear if Kylie purchased that bikini on this shopping excursion.

6:10 PM PT -- TMZ has learned more than 11.5 million fans tried to score presale tickets for 30 Madison Square Garden shows, with only about 18,000 seats available per night ... making it the largest presale registration ever for a single market or residency style run.

While inventory was limited during Monday's presale, more tickets were released Tuesday, though demand continued to overwhelm supply. Despite fan complaints, we're told no dynamic pricing was used ... ticket prices were locked in before the sale launched.

Overseas, Harry tied Coldplay's record for the most shows at Wembley Stadium and could break it if more dates are added ... and sources tell us the tour is considering additional shows.

Harry Styles' fans have had tons of late night talking over the past few days ... buzzing over his upcoming "Together, Together" world tour!

The thing is, not all of the news about the former One Direction member's shows is exactly positive -- because the prices for presale tickets to his shows, which were released on Monday, are leaving his fans in shock and awe.

Prices for seated seats at Harry's shows at Wembley Stadium in the UK started at $60.80, which isn't bad for a stadium show ... but they ballooned to a cool $642.76, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Djimon Hounsou's baby mama, Ri'za Marie Simpson, was arrested for alleged assault earlier this month ... but Ri'za just told a judge she's the one who needs protection from Djimon.

In court documents, obtained by TMZ, Ri'za says she was wrongfully arrested and has suffered financial abuse and an attempted illegal eviction at the hand of Djimon.

Ri'za also claims Djimon slammed a vehicle door on her left side, screamed in her face and called her names during an incident in December ... and says there was a separate incident in October when Djimon got in her face in front of their children. Ri'za claims Djimon began to "come at" her, yelling and standing nose-to-nose with her in the heated exchange.

The judge ended up granting the temporary protective order, which requires Djimon to not have any contact with Ri'za and stay 200 yards from Ri'za and the children ... at least until a hearing in early February.

Christian Combs isn't taking 50 Cent's recent online digs lying down ... he's hitting back at the "senior citizen" by bringing up his baby mama!

Here's the deal ... 50 Cent shared a clip of Christian trying to get a "Bad Boy" chant started at a recent concert -- which went over like a lead balloon and made for a hilariously awkward moment.

50 captioned the post, "Damn 👀his timing was just a little off. 😳" ... which got fans cackling online. Christian, however, wasn't snickering -- he was crafting his own roast online.

Get ready for the drama ... 'cause the Housewives hit the beach in full chaos mode, with cameras rolling for the next season of "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip."

Check out the pics -- the likes of Teresa Giudice, Porsha Williams, Luann de Lesseps, Kyle Richards, Lisa Barlow, Vicki Gunvalson and Gizelle Bryant went all in on colorfully wild '80s workout gear for a Miami pit stop packed with relay-race madness.

The ladies looked in great spirits, split into four teams named after iconic Housewives quotes -- including "The Prostitution Whores," "The Woohooers," "The Slut Pigs," and "The Green Eyed Monster."

Ernie Hudson is filling in for the late Carl Weathers by voicing Combat Carl in the upcoming "Toy Story 5" ... but Ernie told us he was the last to know!

We caught up with the 80-year-old actor Monday outside NBC in NYC, where we asked him when he found out he was taking over for Carl.

He answered ... "Not until I actually started working. And the studio didn't tell me but the fans did. The fans are amazing. They know more than I do."

Having watched all of the "Toy Story" movies, Ernie said, "I was very happy to be included but I didn't know I was stepping in for Carl, who was a good friend."

Celebs are flocking to Utah for one last take at the Sundance Film Festival before it packs up and moves to Colorado ... and it's not just movie stars wrapping things up.

Seth Rogen, Edward Norton, and Olivia Wilde have boots on the ground in Park City ... along with Giselle Bonilla, Alexander Heller, Will Brill and Rob Lowe.

Billy Magnussen is having a grand ole' time ... and even Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in the mix.

Sydney Sweeney just announced the launch of her new lingerie line ... and now we have a crazy hot video giving a much more enticing look at what she has in store.

In an Instagram video shared Tuesday, Sydney flaunts her sexy figure in every angle and mood.

The caption for the video reads, "Our four SYRNs: Seductress, Romantic, Playful and Comfy."

As you know ... Sydney snuck up an L.A. mountain a few days ago, climbed the iconic HOLLYWOOD Sign, and decorated it with bras ... all to promote her new business venture.
