The estranged wife of Kim Zolciak's current boyfriend, Kyle Mowitz, is making moves to block his spending habits to ensure there's still money to pay her at the end of the divorce -- claiming he's been dropping crazy money on the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' alum and his lavish lifestyle ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, Jillian Green -- who's in the middle of a divorce from Kyle -- claims he spends lavishly on Kim and her family, including covering legal fees in Kim's own divorce from Kroy Biermann.

Jillian wants an injunction to prevent Kyle from spending such substantial sums, and wants some money put in escrow so she can get paid what she's entitled to in the divorce down the road.

Hayden Panettiere says handing over custody of her daughter wasn't abandoning her child ... it was the only way she knew how to save herself.

The actress got emotional on Monday's episode of "On Purpose with Jay Shetty" podcast while revisiting the painful decision to sign over full custody of daughter Kaya to ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko back in 2018 amid addiction, anxiety and postpartum depression struggles.

Check out the clip ... Hayden is pushing back on those who've questioned the move ... saying, "The idea that anybody would think that I would just give away my child and be okay with it is heartbreaking."

"Survivor" host Jeff Probst lost a family member ... his brother, Scott Probst, is dead.

Scott's death was announced Monday by their brother, Brent ... in a social media post, he says ... "Some sad news, our brother Scott is no longer with us. He was a great brother, son and friend. I will miss him so much ❤️ I’m so sad he is gone."

The cause and manner of death is unclear.

Jeff hosted "Survivor" since 2000 and Scott has credits on a handful of episodes ... as a camera assistant and an art assistant.

It's the second death in Jeff's immediate family in less than two years ... his mother, Barb Probst, died back in November 2024 and the reality survival competition show honored her with a tribute card in a season 47 episode.

Scott was 58.

Tammy Hembrow and Elizabeth Hurley are heating up heading into Summer 2026 -- but which bikini babe is your fix, and which one gets the nix?

The question here is: Who'd You Rather?!

Pete Davidson is catching heat over a controversial joke aimed at slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk during "The Roast of Kevin Hart" ... and now one of Charlie's close friends says the whole thing left him seriously disgusted.

Andrew Kolvet -- a Turning Point USA producer -- said Monday he thought the joke was wildly distasteful considering Charlie was murdered in such a brutal and public way ... adding he physically cringed hearing it land during the Netflix special -- much like the audience's reaction inside the room.

During the roast, Pete was talking about fellow comic Tony Hinchcliffe when he dropped the line, "Tony reminds me of Charlie Kirk, in that he’s definitely been on camera letting a guy unload in his throat," ... before adding, "Please somebody f***ing kill Tony" ... a reference to Hinchcliffe's own podcast, "Kill Tony."

The publicist who claims Diddy ejaculated into Biggie Smalls' shirt is hitting back at the former Bad Boy Records CEO for responding to his bombshell sexual abuse lawsuit by saying it's total BS.

First, a refresher ... Last July, Jonathan Hay filed the suit against Diddy -- and Biggie's son, CJ Wallace -- for sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment, and more.

Hay says Diddy pressured him to take ketamine, before masturbating in front of him at an L.A. warehouse filled with Biggie's clothes. Hay also says Diddy orgasmed into one of the late rapper's shirts while watching porn on his phone -- and even asked Hay to finish him off in a sexual sense.

Dianna Russini and her husband seem to be doing just fine, all things considered -- the NFL insider was spotted kissing Kevin Goldschmidt during Mother's Day festivities on Sunday ... all while her scandal with Mike Vrabel continues to unfold.

It's the first time the reporter has been spotted since she resigned from The Athletic on April 14 ... and in pics obtained by Page Six, she is carrying their son as she leans in for a smooch outside their home. Kevin is also wearing a wedding band.

It's proof the married couple is on good terms amid the drama ... enough to where Goldschmidt is willing to give the cameras camped outside their crib a money shot.

Comedy veteran Sheryl Underwood says the surprise "r-word" joke from Dwayne Johnson during Netflix’s "The Roast of Kevin Hart" worked because roast comedy plays by a different set of rules ... and she says audiences understood the context.

Underwood stopped by "TMZ Live" on Monday and told us she thought The Rock’s appearance ultimately brought the room together ... especially after years of discourse surrounding his identity and public image.

Watch the video ... she tells us true roast comedy is not for the mainstream -- acknowledging that some viewers may bristle at moments, but roasts have always been built around pushing boundaries.

'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star Jennifer Fessler is shutting down rumors she ever hooked up with "Summer House" cast member West Wilson ... saying at this point, she doesn't even want to be friendly with him anymore.

During her appearance on "Two T's in a Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge," Jenn repeatedly denied anything romantic or sexual ever happened between her and the fellow Bravo star ... insisting the speculation exploded after his ex Ciara Miller suggested there may have been something going on.

Jenn explained she initially defended West publicly because, in her experience, he had always been sweet, warm, and supportive toward her. However now, Jenn says she wishes she hadn’t gone so hard defending him ... admitting she regrets being "too enthusiastic."

Chase Stokes is officially closing out his South Carolina era ... 'cause the "Outer Banks" star just unloaded his longtime Charleston-area home for a cool $3M.

The actor got a little sentimental over the sale of the Mount Pleasant pad too ... admitting in an IG Story over the weekend the sale was bittersweet after spending seven years building a life in SC, and thanking the Charleston community for welcoming him with open arms.

Of course, those years basically lined up perfectly with filming "Outer Banks" ... since the Netflix show shot a huge chunk of the series in SC, making the epic 5-bed, 4.5-bath house a pretty ideal setup for him.

Lisa Vanderpump fans can relax … the original "Vanderpump Rules" has NOT been canceled or killed off despite Bravo announcing Lisa's flashy new Vegas-based spinoff … TMZ has learned. 

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … the long-running reality hit is still active, but Season 13 can't really move forward yet because Lisa's tied up filming multiple projects outside Los Angeles.

We're told Lisa is currently spending all of her time in Vegas until she opens The Vanderpump Hotel ... making the timing right for a Sin City-based series centered around her new hotspot.

'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Dorit Kemsley allegedly used one of their kids in an attempt to have her ex, PK Kemsley, cough up money for a spring break trip ... TMZ has learned.

In new divorce docs, PK alleges Dorit has involved their children in their "financial disputes."

He says ... "While I was attempting to address financial issues with [Dorit], she enlisted our [kid] to send text messages to me requesting money for [Dorit's] personal expenses, including a trip she wanted to take with the children."

NBA star Miles Bridges asked a judge to order his ex Mychelle Johnson to submit to a psychological evaluation, claiming she has an "obsessive fixation" on his new girlfriend ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, the Charlotte Hornets star claimed Mychelle has been acting quite erratically in the past couple of months.

He says the exes share four minor children and have had a temporary custody and support deal in place since 2023.

Dwayne Johnson made a not-so-shocking appearance last night at Netflix's "The Roast of Kevin Hart" ... but then went hardcore, even dropping the R-word, which, if you know his past, is wild.

The movie star was the last person to light into Kevin before it was the comic's turn to throw zingers at everyone else who'd burned him -- and DJ made it count big time.

The short-guy jokes and the quips of talentless-ness were all par for the evening's course -- and even Dwayne hitting on KH's wife was funny -- though not shocking -- but then he dropped the R-word while making fun of controversial NBAer Draymond Green.

Love triangles? Old news. Love squares are apparently the new rage ... 'cause Kroy Biermann was gettin' cozy with Jillian Green ... who just so happens to be the ex-wife of his ex Kim Zolciak's current BF, Kyle Mowitz ... got all that?!

Check the pics -- Kroy and Jillian were spotted hiking together in Alpharetta, Georgia over the weekend -- and judging by the smiles, hugs and very couple-y energy at the end of their 3-hour trek, this wasn't exactly your average everyday cardio session.

Now, Jillian's ex is Kyle -- the same guy Kim started dating back in Spring 2025 -- meaning everybody's apparently swimming in the exact same Georgia dating pool ... which is kinda weird and messy.

Mel Gibson and a smoking hot Italian actress in Rome?!? That's amore!!!

Check out these new photos of Mel packing on the PDA with Italian celeb Antonella Salvucci during a romantic outing in the Eternal City.

Mel and Antonella are making out, hugging, embracing, and otherwise all over each other ... venturing around the city like a couple long-lost lovers.

The pair kicked things off with a seafood dinner at Micalusi-Real Fish before Antonella took Mel on a late-night tour of Rome ... including a stop at a famous panoramic viewpoint, The Zodiac. Romans call it "lover's driveway" ... basically the Italian version of a make-out point.
