Damian Hurley posted about her mom's new squeeze on Instagram Friday ... starting the post acknowledging he's been in the public eye since the day he was born -- and he tries not to comment on all the BS he reads about his family.

Vivica Fox clarified her warning against dating rappers, which went viral ... telling TMZ her advice was just from her own personal experience.

When we caught up with the actress outside Sherri Shepherd Studios on Monday in New York, she told us people are allowed to date whoever they want and that her message should be taken more as a warning to the girlies to be careful.

For herself, that means to "maybe not go public so fast and just have fun."

Sophie Grégoire kept it classy and cordial when asked about her ex Justin Trudeau and his new love Katy Perry ... suggesting while she might be hurt, she's not putting her feelings over her family.

She told Arlene Dickinson on the "Arlene Is Alone" podcast, "We're all human beings and stuff affects us," admitting she allows herself to feel all the normal emotions that may crop up when things don't go her way, but ultimately she decides how she responds to those emotions.

She explained, "The woman I want to become through this is my decision.”

The drama between filmmaker Yi Zhou and actor Jeremy Renner ratcheted up the ugliness last week ... for Renner, it seems to be a story of misconduct and unethical business dealings -- but Zhou tells us it's more about heartbreak.

We caught up with Zhou in Beverly Hills Tuesday night, where she told us ... "I thought it was love -- maybe true love ... It seems that he thinks otherwise."

As we reported ... Renner alleges they had a "brief consensual encounter" in July ... but when they met again in August, he allegedly told Zhou he was not interested in a sexual relationship, and put her in a guest bedroom that night.

Of course, the tune has several lines that folks took as a message to Swift in present day ... like "Do you know I dumped your husband, girlfriend?" and "Do you know he begged to stay with me? He wasn't man enough for me."

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner have been caught up in some pretty wild breakup buzz lately ... but TMZ can confirm the power couple’s still very much together!

The lovebirds took to their respective Instagram accounts to acknowledge 730 days around the sun. Berrios posted three pictures to his account ... writing, "2 years of laughter, happiness and loving every piece of you."

He even showed off that Earle sent him a whole bunch of roses for the day, which Berrios was thrilled to receive.

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater have been the subject of numerous breakup rumors lately ... but TMZ has learned the speculation isn't accurate and the split isn't true.

Sources close to the couple tell us ... they are still absolutely together romantically despite multiple media reports and online theories implying they've broken up.

Some outlets and social accounts fueled the split speculation further Tuesday when the two were seen not standing next to each other as the "Wicked" cast posed for their cast photo at the UK premiere in London on Monday night.

Things are heating up for Blueface and Hazel-E ... the two have been getting quite close since Blueface's release from prison last week.

We're told they actually started getting cozy before the rapper went to jail and reconnected a few days ago.

Sydney Sweeney is back in the arms of Scooter Braun ... and let’s just say, she looks a whole lot happier than she did during that painfully awkward run-in with ex-fiancé Jonathan Davino.

Check it out -- Sydney was glowing after a night out at NYC’s Comedy Cellar on Monday, heading back to her hotel with Scooter in tow ... and that ear-to-ear grin screamed major date night success!

Sydney looked every inch the movie star ... effortlessly chic as she strutted in front of Scooter, proving this new romance is going strong since news of their relationship first broke back in September.

Sia's estranged husband Daniel Bernad isn't wasting too much time in his search for love post-split from the "Cheap Thrills" singer ... photographers caught him out Sunday, packing on the PDA with a new woman.

Daniel and model Morganne Wray kissed and held hands on a stroll through a flea market in Los Angeles over the weekend. We're told they spent about 2 hours browsing vintage knick-knacks at The Melrose Trading Post.

The lazy Sunday afternoon probably provided much-needed respite from his custody war with Sia.

We caught up with the "Community" star at an event for Lifetime's "Love of a Lifetime" slate ... an upcoming series of films airing on the channel all about love -- including Toni Braxton’s "He Wasn’t Man Enough," which stars Brown -- and we asked her about dating advice in today's modern world.

Brown says she fears young people are too obsessed with checking boxes off their "lists" which are focused on surface-level traits -- money, height, for example -- instead of the stuff that really matters ... like kindness.

Andy Cohen is kissing and telling ... well, sort of. He revealed on "Call Her Daddy" Wednesday he used to get his action on Craigslist back in the day!
