Dr. Dre and Michelle Saniei have most of "The Valley" cast in the dark ... 'cause TMZ has learned many of her castmates had no idea she was even hanging out with the hip-hop mogul.

Sources close to the cast tell TMZ ... the majority of Michelle's costars were completely unaware of her connection to Dre. We're told the reaction has been pure shock and confusion, with our sources still trying to figure out how the pairing came together.

According to one source, the link stems from mutual friends ... Michelle's best friend is dating Dre's best friend, who works for his record label. We're told Michelle kept things quiet until recently, when it became hard to hide.

Huge legal win for Steven Tyler ... the woman suing him for allegedly sexually assaulting her over 50 years ago when she was 16 years old just had her lawsuit against him whittled down significantly.

Julia Holcomb is suing the legendary Aerosmith frontman over a years-long relationship back in the day ... she filed her lawsuit in California and included a bunch of claims about sexual encounters in various states ... but now a judge has ruled only one claim from an alleged incident in California can remain as the case moves forward ... according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ. The judge ruled the alleged instances of sex in other states -- such as Massachusetts and Oregon -- cannot move forward in a California court.

Steven's attorney, David Long-Daniels, tells TMZ ... "This is a massive win for Steven Tyler. Today, the court has dismissed with prejudice 99.9% of the claims against Mr. Tyler in this case. The court has decided that only one night fifty-plus years ago out of a three-year relationship is allowed to remain. We look forward to trying this case on August 31."

Lally's laughing the whole situation off ... saying Michelle's allowed to date whoever she wants -- though he doesn't think she's super knowledgeable about rap music.

The streamer reacted to a video from one of his past streams where he met the alleged murderer ... watching the video in horror as he and the singer dapped each other up.

Former "Love Is Blind: Argentina" star Santiago Martínez is headed to prison for 15 years after being sentenced for trying to kill his ex-wife, Emily Ceco -- whom he met and married on the show back in 2024.

According to Argentine outlet A24, Martínez got the sentence in March ... after Ceco pulled the plug on plans to remarry him in Feb. 2025, alleging he’d been physically abusing her and left her with a black eye.

Jen Vrabel appears to be keeping one thing intact amid her husband Mike Vrabel's drama -- her wedding ring.

Jeanie Buss is used to watching the Los Angeles Lakers win ... and, now she's looking to bring that winning magic to the city's mayoral race -- throwing all her support behind Spencer Pratt.

According to paperwork filed by Pratt's campaign ... Buss made an $1,800 donation to Pratt for Mayor 2026 just last week.

Buss probably had more than $1,800 lying around in her couch cushions -- remember, she and her family agreed to sell a majority stake in the franchise to Los Angeles Dodgers owner Mark Walter for $10 billion last year -- but, $1,800 is actually the most people are allowed to donate to a political candidate in the race.

Jimmy Kimmel is loving President Trump ... well, he's loving Trump's humor, at least, because the comedian just busted POTUS cracking the same exact death joke that has Kimmel on the hot seat.

On Tuesday night, Kimmel gleefully teed up the clip of DJT's speech for King Charles III's visit to the the White House ... where Trump turns to Melania and tells her there's no way they'll make it to 63 years of marriage, because ... well, he's too damn old.

This comes after FLOTUS and POTUS demanded ABC fire Kimmel from his late-night show, claiming he'd made a tasteless joke about Trump dying -- insinuating the remark somehow influenced the White House Correspondents Dinner shooter.

ICYMI ... Jimmy's quip last Thursday was that Melania "had the glow of an expectant widow."

Duggar's attorney entered the plea earlier this week in district court. Duggar has a court date set for August 10.
