Child Stars

Kate Lohan isn’t just battling assault charges ... she’s now facing the reality of not having a place to live.

Lindsay Lohan's stepmother appeared in court Thursday for arraignment after she was arrested for allegedly attacking ex Michael Lohan ... and her attorney painted a bleak picture of what comes next.

According to her lawyer, Kate may be forced to stay in a shelter or hotel ... since a protective order bars her from contacting Michael -- the father of her two kids -- effectively cutting off her current living situation.

And it gets worse financially … her lawyer told the court Kate is currently unemployed, scraping by as an online brand ambassador -- but not making any money right now. She asked the judge to declare her indigent.

Bryan Cranston dug up some holes ... and buried Shia LaBeouf in the process.

The brutal moment happened during his Esquire sit-down with 'Malcolm in the Middle' costar Frankie Muniz ... when Muniz got candid about a major career fork in the road. He revealed he was locked in to star in “Holes” before “Agent Cody Banks” got the green light -- forcing him to choose.

“I immediately picked Agent Cody Banks,” Muniz said … admitting people around him were pushing him toward “Holes” because it was “a little more dramatic.”

Lindsay Lohan's stepmom, Kate Lohan, has been arrested in Texas for allegedly attacking her ex -- Lindsay's dad -- Michael Lohan ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Kate's been accused of intentionally and recklessly causing bodily injury to Michael on April 14.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Kate was at the house when she and Michael were supposed to exchange their kids. We're told things escalated quickly because she was irate about being woken up.

Brandon "Bug" Hall -- perhaps best known for playing Alfalfa Switzer in the 1994 film "The Little Rascals" -- has been arrested ... TMZ has learned.

Documents obtained by TMZ show Bug was charged in Ohio with failure to appear for a court date from December 31, 2024. He had previously been hit with a traffic citation on October 29, 2024 for not having liability insurance.

In addition to 'Little Rascals,' the 41-year-old former child actor also starred in "Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves," "The Stupids," and "American Pie Presents: The Book of Love."

Melissa Gilbert has deleted her Instagram account as her husband -- actor and director Timothy Busfield -- faces serious child sex abuse allegations.

Gilbert's Instagram page is no longer accessible as of Sunday. Users attempting to view her account now see a message stating the profile is unavailable or has been removed.

The sudden social media wipeout comes just days after the Albuquerque Police Department issued an arrest warrant accusing Busfield of unlawful sexual conduct involving two minors.

Prime Video host Taylor Rooks makes a living talking to athletes ... but it turns out she was doing that LONG before it was her career ... 'cause she babysat them!!

Rooks revealed this week on the "Downs 2 Business" podcast, hosted by football stars Josh and Caleb Downs, that she took care of the two brothers from sixth grade up to her senior year of high school while growing up northeast of Atlanta.

Josh is now a 24-year-old wide receiver with the Indianapolis Colts, and younger brother Caleb, 21, is expected to be a top-10 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft as a defensive standout from Ohio State -- time flies!!!

American actor Bradley Gregg was just a teen when he played Eyeball Chambers -- Chris's reckless and intimating older brother -- in the 1986 adventure/thriller film "Stand by Me."

Bradley shared the big screen with River Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell.

'Ned's Declassified' alum Tylor Chase has begun the process of getting into a rehab facility after his former co-stars begged him to get mental health help and off the streets.

Jacob Harris -- the owner of Shipwreck Barbershop in Riverside, California, who has been a major advocate for Tylor -- tells TMZ ... he visited Tylor for 3 hours on Christmas day, a visit he calls a "tipping point." He adds ... "I had to do something. I finally found a crisis center that would come out and do an on-site evaluation."

Jacob explains the former child star was evaluated by the crisis center, and workers decided he needed to be taken in to receive "medical attention" at a Riverside-area hospital. We're told Tylor is now on a 72-hour hold and is being treated before being taken into a rehab facility. Jacob also spoke to Daily Mail, who first reported the news of his hospitalization.

Looking for an update on Amanda Bynes’ Ozempic journey? You’re in luck ... she just dropped one herself, hopping on IG to gush about how much progress she’s made.

The former child star shared a recent snap of herself out in L.A. -- admitting she usually hates pap pics -- but this one of her rocking a white tee and ripped blue jeans hit different for her, proudly revealing she’s down 28 pounds.

A viral video has left fans of 'Ned's Declassified' stunned, and now Devon Werkheiser is opening up about how painful it is to see his former costar Tylor Chase living on the streets.

Devon, who played Ned Bigby on the hit Nickelodeon series, tells TMZ, "Tylor was a sensitive, sweet, and kind kid. It is heartbreaking to see him this way." He says he would love nothing more than to help Chase, but acknowledges the situation is complicated.

"I haven’t seen Tylor in almost 20 years since the show ended," Devon tells us, adding Chase's addiction and mental health struggles make situations like this especially difficult. "Anyone who has dealt with severe addiction and deep mental health issues knows it’s an unbelievably challenging situation if they don't want help."

Shaun Weiss is ready to pay it forward ... after rebounding from drug addiction and homelessness, the "Mighty Ducks" star wants to help fellow former child actor Tylor Chase with a similar battle.

Fans will remember Tylor as Martin Qwerly from Nickelodeon's "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide" in the early 2000s ... but a viral video has shown him now living on the streets in California.

Comedian Russell Peters is the one who showed Shaun the video of 36-year-old Tylor, seen with disheveled hair, wearing a Las Vegas Raiders polo and oversized ripped jeans he holds up with his hands.

Jake Lloyd -- the child star who played young Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace" -- is finally talking about his mental health issues ... diving into the recent treatment he received.

The former actor spoke with author Clayton Sandell -- co-writer of 'Star Wars Timelines' -- alongside his mother, Lisa Lloyd, for a feature posted to Sandell's Substack.

According to Sandell, Jake just finished an 18-month stint in a mental health rehab faciliy after having a "psychotic break" in March 2023 ... during which his mom says he turned off the engine of his car while driving down a three-lane highway.

Fans of Amanda Bynes are happy to see the former child star doing well ... flocking to social media to applaud the actress for her first public event in over a decade.

Check it out ... the former Nickelodeon star took to Instagram on Saturday to commemorate her participation in an art show -- which the "All That" alum cohosted alongside designer Austin Babbitt -- at the Plants & Spaces gallery in Los Angeles, Calif.

Camille Winbush is far from the little girl who played Bernie Mac's daughter -- something her OnlyFans followers know all too well -- and now she's clapping back at folks shading her new gig.

Ironically, the former 'Bernie Mac Show' star admitted the trolls hit the nail on the head with at least one assumption -- she tells Comedy Hype, "When people say, 'Oh, those Bernie Mac checks must have dried up,' I'm like, 'From a job 20 years ago when I was a 12-year-old? Yeah.' Like, duh."

Camille said her residuals still trickle in, but they're not exactly booming, and certainly aren't enough to make a living ... hence, why she started her OF page in 2021.

"All That" alum Lori Beth Denberg claims Dan Schneider acted inappropriately when she was a young adult ... allegations that he says are blown out of proportion, or outright untrue.

In a new interview with Business Insider, Denberg details multiple accusations against Schneider -- including the claim he showed her porn and initiated phone sex when he was the head writer of "All That" -- where she was a cast member between 1994 and 1998.

Denberg says this all started around her 19th birthday ... when she says Dan invited her to a meeting and showed her porn clips -- including one scene where a woman performed oral sex on a donkey. FWIW, similar claims over the porn were also made on 'Quiet on Set.'

Robin Williams really was the nicest guy in Hollywood ... 'cause one of the child stars from "Mrs. Doubtfire" says he stuck up for her ... this after she got expelled as a teen.

Lisa Jakub -- who played one of Robin's onscreen daughters in the 1993 comedy -- stopped by fellow 'Doubtfire' alum Matthew Lawrence's "Brotherly Love Podcast" this week -- where she shared how she was kicked out of school while filming their flick.

She explained she was attending high school in Canada at the time -- but had to be on set to shoot the movie, which meant she'd be out of school for a good while ... an arrangement she says they were cool with at first, until they weren't ... and told her not to come back.
