World champion figure skater Alysa Liu is distancing herself from D4vd amid an investigation into Celeste Rivas' death ... announcing she's scrapping her recently debuted short program due to the singer's song being featured in the routine.

The 2022 Olympian shared the update with her fans on Wednesday ... saying what she had prepared for the 2025-26 season is getting shelved "in light of recent news."

Sean "Diddy" Combs is using his time in jail to teach his fellow inmates business skills ... and the men who picked his brain are singing his praises to the judge who is set to hand down his sentence next week.

Diddy's legal team is giving Judge Arun Subramanian more legal homework in the form of additional support letters from dozens of men who are locked up with Diddy at MDC Brooklyn.

In the letters, included in a legal filing obtained by TMZ, the inmates say they took the Bad Boy Records founder's "Free Game With Diddy" course behind bars and learned a lot.

A girl who looks a lot like Celeste Rivas was spotted at a D4vd concert in late August ... and if it's her, it would really close the window on when she died.

The manhunt for Travis Decker is officially over ... because the feds say he's dead.

The $33 million RICO lawsuit filed against Diddy's mother, Janice Smalls Combs, has been dismissed.

A court document obtained by TMZ reveals the federal complaint by plaintiff Deon Best -- a former associate of the music mogul -- against Janice and her music publishing companies was dismissed without prejudice.

Best, known as "D1", originally sued Janice in January 2025, alleging she was involved in a scheme to defraud him of his intellectual property rights, royalties, and publishing revenues. He accused her of knowingly using her influence and name to take away his publishing rights and royalties, which he said caused significant financial and emotional harm to him.

Diddy's lawyer, Erica Wolff, just responded, telling TMZ, “Mr. Nash is another opportunist looking to profit off his proximity to celebrity. This complaint is riddled with falsehoods and stands in stark contrast to the record that has already been established in court."

Wolff went on ... "Mr. Combs has dedicated his life and career to uplifting artists, creating opportunities, and building one of the most influential cultural enterprises in the world. Mr. Nash’s tabloid-style accusations are insulting not only to Mr. Combs, but also to the countless individuals who worked honorably and professionally within his companies."

She adds, "In court, the truth will prevail, as it did in his criminal trial:  that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone—adult or minor, man or woman. Mr. Combs looks forward to clearing his name again in a court of law where truth matters.”

Diddy is facing a stunning lawsuit ahead of his sentencing ... the mogul's long-time stylist Deonte Nash is suing him for sexual battery, human trafficking and more.

According to new court docs -- obtained by TMZ -- lawyers for Deonte claim Diddy turned his dream of becoming a celebrity stylist into a "nightmare" ... one he was "forced to endure nearly every single day" during the roughly 10 years he worked for Diddy.

The docs go on to say ... "The horrors Mr. Nash experienced continue to plague him even after his employment ended."

Going to school may stink for some ... but a South Carolina teaching assistant took it to a whole new smelly level when he used fart spray in his classroom -- causing over $50,000 worth of damage!

Sean "Diddy" Combs is a great father and son who gives back to his community ... at least that's what his family, friends and exes are telling the judge who is set to decide his fate.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Diddy says the sentencing guidelines for his conviction on 2 counts of the Mann Act is no more than 6-to-12 months in prison on each count, which accurately reflects the seriousness of the offenses laid out at his federal trial in NYC.
