Lil Nas X is on the 'Old Town Road' to recovery ... in his first public appearance since wandering the streets naked and allegedly charging at police officers in Los Angeles.

The 26-year-old Grammy winner popped up in L.A., rocking the heck out of a jean jacket and cowboy boots as he ran errands in Santa Monica. He looks healthy and well-rested ... even spending some time in a local park before heading off in a white Jeep.

This comes after undergoing inpatient treatment, following his bizarre August 21 arrest.

An Italian model was found dead on her balcony in Milan after her ex allegedly stabbed her more than 20 times ... according to local reports.

Pamela Genini was killed Tuesday, local newspaper il Fatto Quotidiano reports ... though neighbors apparently tried to break into the apartment when they heard screaming from inside to help Genini.

The outlet reports Genini was stabbed 24 times in the neck, back, upper limbs, and hands ... and, when police arrived, they allegedly found 52-year-old Gianluca Soncin standing over her.

One Florida man really knows how to let all hang out when he's allegedly on the prowl and breaking into homes ... even flashing an innocent pooch!

Joshua Garrison was apparently caught on surveillance video wearing absolutely nothing as he went on an alleged burglary spree this week through Pinellas Park -- and lucky for him, police captured him, or he could have ended up shot by neighbors.

WFLA-TV interviewed neighbors in Pinellas Park who said Garrison might have been shot if the cops hadn't placed him in handcuffs. One person told the outlet ... “We are all Second Amendment people here in Pinellas Park; we will shoot you. He got lucky we didn’t wake up.”

The man accused of igniting the catastrophic Pacific Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles has been hit with a federal indictment.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Jonathan Rinderknecht was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury on three counts including two felonies. They're all tied to the New Year’s Day blaze that destroyed nearly 7,000 homes and businesses and caused an estimated $150 billion in damages.

The indictment charges him with arson affecting property used in interstate commerce, destruction of property by fire, and timber set afire which are all serious federal crimes.

Darius McCrary was seen for the first time Wednesday since his arrest last week and he chose to represent himself during a court hearing, but the only problem was ... he didn't appear to know what the f*** was going on.

As TMZ previously reported, McCrary was arrested October 5 on a warrant out of Michigan stemming from a missed court appearance related to his failure to pay child support.

At his arraignment today in a San Diego courtroom, the "Family Matters" alum chose to forego a lawyer, opting to represent himself ... which was a huge mistake.

Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman isn't answering questions about the D4vd-Celeste Rivas investigation yet because he says the case hasn't been turned over to his office.

Our photog asked Nathan for an update Wednesday at a press conference about an unrelated case ... and all Hochman said was it's a "continuing investigation."

The county's top prosecutor also wouldn't get into possible suspects -- such as D4vd, or anyone else -- when our photog brought up the singer.

The person who allegedly threw a drinking glass at Jamie Foxx inside a famous Beverly Hills restaurant will NOT face criminal charges.

Nathan Hochman, the Los Angeles County District Attorney, declined the case against the alleged glass-thrower due to a lack of evidence ... according to NBC4 LA.

We broke the story ... Jamie claimed back in December he was hit by a glass at Mr. Chow and suffered a cut to his face ... and he wanted to press charges.

Bryan Kohberger's senseless murder of four college students in Idaho back in 2022 shocked the country. His sister Amanda nearly played a role in what would have been her brother's trial -- which was nixed after he took a plea deal and admitted to his crimes.

We're going to take a look into the background of the murderer's sibling and see how she nearly became involved with his case.

Amanda apparently pursued a career as an actress back in the day, and she appeared in a low-budget thriller feature, "Two Days Back," which was released in 2011.

The movie plot is about a character who joins several environmentalist students on a trip to investigate illegal logging before stumbling onto a cabin with connections to her past. The flick didn't ever appear to drum up much attention, and it holds a 3.9/10 rating on IMDb.

Amanda appeared to give up acting following the release of "Two Days Back," and she eventually began working as a school counselor, according to CBS News.

In 2023, a statement was issued on behalf of the entire Kohberger family following Bryan's arrest.

FYI ... the now-convicted murderer was arrested at his parents' home in eastern Pennsylvania on December 30, 2022 on suspicion of killing the four college students in Moscow, Idaho.

A statement was subsequently released by Jason A. LaBar, who previously served as Bryan's counsel, and Kohberger's family -- including Amanda -- pledged to "love and support" him throughout the trial.

The Kohbergers also expressed their sympathies to the families of the murdered students and said they would "let the legal process unfold."

Although Amanda didn't have much involvement with Bryan's case, there was a chance she could have -- because she was included on the prosecutor's witness list.

The convicted murderer's sister would have been called to testify about her brother, but he ended up copping a plea deal, which got him out of a formal trial ... in exchange for pleading guilty and being sentenced to four consecutive terms of life in prison without parole.

Tyrese Gibson's neighbor is lawyering up ... after the actor's dogs allegedly mauled and killed his pooch.

Attorney Claudine Wilkins tells TMZ ... she's been retained by Tyrese's neighbor, Harrison Parker, and plans to reach out to Tyrese's legal team later this week.

She tells us she's not ready to reveal her next steps just yet ... as she's still in the process of collecting evidence.

Ellen Greenberg's parents are demanding answers after a medical examiner reconfirmed their daughter died by suicide back in 2011 ... claiming the M.E. doesn't know a thing about Ellen's mental state at the time.

Sandee and Josh Greenberg sat for an interview with ABC News Wednesday ... and, they told the outlet they still aren't convinced of Ellen's official cause of death.

Sandee claims from a "clinical view" there's no evidence Ellen took her own life ... questioning the medical examiner's credibility when it comes to pointing to Ellen's mental health state at the time ... since the M.E. didn't actually know her.

10:03 AM PST -- Belton police tell TMZ … Rudy Youngblood was arrested Tuesday after an officer stopped to talk to the owner of a vehicle parked near a Lake Belton boat ramp at about 12:20 AM.

During the stop, it was discovered the Travis County Sheriff’s Office had a warrant out for his arrest for assaulting a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation.

Furthermore, a white crystalline substance was located on the actor during the arrest, police say. He is still in Bell County Jail with additional charges pending the lab results.

Actor Rudy Youngblood -- best known for his role in Mel Gibson's Oscar-nominated film "Apocalypto" -- has been arrested for allegedly launching a violent attack on someone close to him, according to police.

Rudy was arrested by Belton police officers in Texas early Tuesday morning ... after he allegedly assaulted a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation, cops said.

He's being held at the Bell County Jail on a $20,000 bond.

Luigi Mangione is livin' large in the pokey ... because TMZ has learned he's got a whopping $40,000 in his commissary — and it's all thanks to his gazillion fans!

The alleged murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is so beloved by his supporters that they funnel lotsa cash into his coffers at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, according to a recently released jailhouse source whose information we corroborated.

And get this ... Luigi can spend the money on some cheap goodies such as Nutella Hazelnut spread for just $4.90, summer sausage for a mere $2.10, or some oatmeal for just $3.65. If Luigi wants something spicy, he can splurge on jalapeno wheels for $3.20 and, if he has a hankering for a block of Velveeta cheese, he can shell out $3.70. Bottom line is Luigi's got much more money than he can spend -- but he has a cap of $160 per visit to the commissary.

9:32 AM PST -- Garry Chapman's attorney Scott Morro tells TMZ… his client was reinstated, but first must complete a 120 hour suspension from the Priceville Police Department. He says they disagree with the decision and plan to appeal, plus file a lawsuit.

Dog the Bounty Hunter's son is back in the police force in Alabama after being placed on leave -- and then fired -- following his involvement in a fatal high-speed car chase, TMZ can confirm.

Dog -- real name Duane Chapman -- posted the exciting news on social media Tuesday evening, sharing himself and several smiling family members surrounding his son Garry Chapman, who was dressed in a gray suit.

He celebrated the victory in a lengthy caption and praised his son for acting "with honor, courage, and integrity while doing his job to protect and serve" from the start, while also denouncing the car chase suspect.

Bryan Kohberger abruptly agreed to a plea deal -- essentially ending his murder case before trial -- just days after his sister was added as a witness ... TMZ has learned.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Kohberger's sister, Amanda, was included on the prosecutor's witness list ... which could have meant the confessed killer would have had to face off against her in court, but he dodged that possibility. Amanda was the only immediate family member on the list.

Kohberger had reportedly been charged with misdemeanor theft for allegedly stealing her cell phone in 2014.

Ellen Greenberg's 2011 death from multiple stab wounds in the back of her head and neck was ruled a suicide once again ... but a forensic pathologist tells TMZ that's "biomechanically implausible."

Veteran death investigator Joseph Scott Morgan joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday, saying he was shocked when he heard the ruling ... "You could've knocked me over with a feather, as they say."

He continued, "We thought that science would prevail. None of us really saw this coming."

The owner of the Hollywood Hills home D4vd was renting has hired a private eye to get to the bottom of what happened inside the house ... because LAPD has not publicly released any answers 6 whole weeks after Celeste Rivas' decomposing body was found in D4vd's Tesla.

Mladen Trifunovic owns the home D4vd's manager was renting -- the place has been searched by cops as part of the Celeste death investigation -- and he says a P.I. is now involved.

LAPD raided the home last month and our sources told us they were looking for blood evidence ... but there's been no updates on where the case stands.
