The "American Beauty" star explains people in the gay community were already making jokes about him, "as if being famous and coming out was an easy thing."

Oliver Tree got deep on the fickle nature of life in one of his final interviews before his tragic death ... telling Bobbi Althoff nothing in life should be taken for granted.

Bobbi just released video from Oliver's appearance on "The Really Good Podcast" ... he gets philosophical, telling her ... "We don't know if I'll be alive next year or you'll be alive. There's no day promised."

Looking back, Oliver's comments are kinda eerie ... considering he died earlier this month when the helicopter he was flying in collided with another chopper in Brazil. Five other people died in the crash.

Eva's comments here stand in stark contrast to Adrianne Curry, the original 'ANTM' winner, who venomously responded to Tyra's claims.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have taken extraordinary measures to make sure their wedding celebration invite doesn't leak ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... every invitation is individually watermarked with the guest's first and last name repeated throughout the invite, a security measure designed to identify anyone who leaks it online.

Taylor Swift loves her some calla lilies, but she didn't buy up every single calla lily in New York City ahead of her upcoming wedding event at Madison Square Garden ... despite claims to the contrary.

TMZ reached out to several well-known florists in the NYC area about the reported raid of calla lilies for Taylor and Travis Kelce's big day ... and we were told it was BS.

Every shop we called not only had calla lilies in stock ... not one heard the rumor about Taylor buying up 42,000 flowers ... but you better believe they wished they had the account!

One shop told us they visited the New York Flower Market this morning ... and there were plenty of callas on hand for shops.

Josh Duggar keeps playing prison hopscotch, jumping from one penitentiary to another, with his latest stop at a federal lockup in Oklahoma ... and his lawyer is calling all the moves "punitive."

Before that, Josh was cooling his heels in FCI Seagoville, also in Texas, where he was initially sent after his 2021 conviction for receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material. 

Josh's lawyer, Beau Brindley, tells TMZ ... Josh's transfers from prison to prison are all "punitive," stemming from correctional officers allegedly violating the rules by opening Josh's legal mail at Seagoville.

It's crunch time for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's upcoming wedding ... and there's a whole lotta action going down at Madison Square Garden ... with cargo trucks making important deliveries.

Security was everywhere, with workers bustling behind barricaded entrances.

Thylane's new husband, French actor Ben Attal, was behind the wheel looking sharp in his dark navy blue suit.

Heather Locklear may have Lorenzo Lamas smiling these days ... but first, he's trying to officially close the book on his current marriage.
