The General Manager of Mogul Vision, D4vd's record label -- who appeared before the grand jury for the last 2 days regarding the death of Celeste Rivas -- was way more than a record exec ... he was involved in D4vd's day-to-day life.

Robert Morgenroth is someone the grand jury prosecutor is intensely interested in ... as we reported, we overheard him say in the courtroom hallway that the prosecutor hammered him on why he didn't call the police. We don't know the context, but it's clear it involved D4vd, because he's a suspect in Celeste's death.

Morgenroth is way more than a G.M. -- he was also D4vd's day-to-day manager. Turns out, there were 2 managers. The other is Josh Marshall, who actually founded Mogul Vision and, along with Morgenroth, managed the singer's career.

You may remember Marshall ... he's the one who signed the lease on the house D4vd was living in -- the home police searched shortly after Celeste's body was discovered in D4vd's Tesla. Law enforcement sources say the house is an important piece of the puzzle, which the LAPD believes implicates D4vd in Celeste's death ... which police believe is a murder.

Morgenroth is also the President of Zara Brothers Travel, D4vd's tour company.

The Arizona man who pled guilty to murdering his 2-year-old daughter while watching porn died from carbon monoxide toxicity -- hours before he was to turn himself in to authorities ahead of his sentencing, TMZ has learned.

Scholtes made national headlines in July 2024 after he left his baby daughter, Parker, asleep in his car and went into his house in Marana, a suburb of Tucson, to reportedly play video games and watch porn.

While his look isn't drastically different, Wedding is rockin' different facial hair in the new pic.

Jen Shah may be out of prison ... but she's still under the watchful eye of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

TMZ can confirm "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" alum left Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas Wednesday morning ... but she is now subject to community confinement overseen by the BOP's Phoenix Residential Reentry Management Office. This means Jen is either in home confinement or a halfway house.

Jen still has 5 years of post-release supervision, with required drug and alcohol testing. She'll participate in an outpatient mental health program, and she must continue to take prescribed medication. And she still owes more than $6.5 million in restitution.

The president of D4vd's touring company was grilled Monday by a deputy district attorney in front of a grand jury ... on why he didn't call the cops.

A grand jury is hearing evidence in the death of Celeste Rivas. TMZ broke the story ... LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division is considering D4vd a suspect in what it says is an apparent homicide.

Robert Morgenroth, the general manager of Mogul Vision, D4vd's record label, is also the president of Zara Brothers Travel -- D4vd's tour company.

We've learned Morgenroth testified all day Monday before the L.A. grand jury. At one point, with a half dozen people in the hallway, Morgenroth came out into the hallway and was talking to his lawyer -- loud enough so others could hear.

On the latest episode of "The Kardashians," Kim Kardashian accused Howard Stern of mocking her Paris heist attack as a made-up joke ... but Howard denies her claims, and he's clapping back with receipts.

According to clips Howard dug up from when the horrific event first made headlines in 2016, what he actually said was, "If this woman was robbed at gunpoint by a bunch of dudes and they threw her in a bathtub and tied her up -- or whatever they did -- I mean, that is frightening. If it is a farce, then really they should go to jail for that."

In the clip, Howard's co-host Robin Quivers interjects, "I don't think it is," and Howard agrees, "I don't either."

Breaux, also known as rapper Erica Banks, was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over Monday in Brookhaven, GA, after a police officer noticed a tinted tag covering the license plate. In Georgia, it's against the law to have material affixed to a license plate that covers any portion of it.
