Jenelle Evans' mother, Barbara, seems like she's ready to fight tooth and nail to regain custody of her grandson, Jace ... despite a judge denying her request for emergency custody.

According to docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Barbara beelined it to court on Friday ... filing a motion seeking full custody of the 16-year-old, who is currently in a mental health treatment facility.

There's new evidence that the death of Celeste Rivas was not accidental ... and it's something people didn't pick up on over the weekend.

Neo posted on Saturday ... that he's clamming up over the mystery surrounding Celeste's death. In the Insta post, he says ... "... at the end of the day this case isn't about me, it isn't about you, it's about getting justice for the victim and her family ..."

The word "victim" is critical ... our sources say the L.A. County Medical Examiner has had enormous trouble establishing cause of death, in large part because of the state Celeste's body was in when it was discovered in the trunk of D4vd's Tesla.

We do not know if the M.E. ultimately established cause of death ... but even if they did rule it a homicide, they had so much trouble it will almost certainly be a hotly contested issue when the case goes to trial.

"Heated Rivalry" star Connor Storrie’s been skating through a pretty wild few months ... and one perk of his sudden stardom seems to be gliding into some A-list company!

Check out this fan-captured clip ... Connor was spotted leaving the Oscars Sunday night in L.A. alongside Aussie singer Troye Sivan ... both looking super casual and, at one point, even on their phones at the exact same time.

It looked like the two were trying to locate their rides ... though it also seems like they may’ve just struck up a new friendship while rubbing shoulders on Hollywood’s biggest night.

Teyana Taylor got into a heated confrontation moments after the Oscars wrapped ... and TMZ has learned it all started after a security guard put his hands on her.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us the incident happened seconds after the Sunday night broadcast ended, as she was attempting to head back onstage for the Best Picture photo with her "One Battle After Another" costars.

According to our sources, Taylor was trying to return to the stage alongside Pam Abdi, co-head of Warner Bros., when a security guard attempted to stop them from going up the stairs.

Our sources say the guard used his body to block Taylor and put his hands on her, trying to physically hold her back and push her away from the stage to prevent her from getting past him.

Jayden Wallace's attorney, Graham McKinnon, tells TMZ ... Wallace, 18, was not driving his pickup truck "in a dangerous or unsafe matter" as he left the home of his "mentor," Jason Hughes, after toilet papering Hughes' property with his buddies. 

As a result, McKinnon says it's not "appropriate to charge a crime" because it was a straight-up accident. Wallace was arrested and booked for vehicular homicide after the March 6 tragedy.

Heidi Fleiss is speaking out after her neighbor called the police and animal control on her two parrots ... telling TMZ she plans to speak to her neighbor later today.

The former "Hollywood Madam" and animal lover tells TMZ she bought her Nevada home for her two parrots, Gin and Juice.

Heidi’s neighbor Shauna Cordova told local news and local law enforcement that Heidi’s birds are loud in the mornings and roam the area.

“It has woken me up,” Shauna said. “Nobody likes to get woke up. So when you get woke up, it puts you in a bad mood. You’re like, what in the heck is going on?”

Heidi tells TMZ ... “She hates me. Who the f*** calls the news because [parrots] are waking you up?”

Cole Goldberg -- who was accused of trying to kill "90 Day Fiancé" alum Caroline Schwitzky -- has been found not guilty of attempted murder.

Goldberg was acquitted of the crime in a West Palm Beach, Florida courtroom on Thursday after three days of testimony.

Remember ... Schwitzky accused Goldberg of attempted murder back in 2022 -- claiming the two got into a heated argument at the Boca Bash that year, after she dumped Goldberg, and he then held her head underwater.

Witnesses told cops they yelled at Cole to stop, but he kept holding her down. Several people eventually jumped into the water to pull the couple apart.

A Connecticut man named Mike Gerchy appears to have been caught on video beating the crap out of a pit bull ... and now we're told police are investigating.

Check out the dramatic clip posted to Instagram ... which opens with a man body-slamming one of 2 canines in the living room of a house in Glastonbury, CT. You then see the man start kicking the poor pooch while yelling, "What is your f***ing problem?"

A frightened woman is standing in a doorway telling the man to "stop it" ... but he doesn't seem to listen and continues the beatdown, before shooing the dog up the stairs.

Attorney General Pam Bondi's recent relocation to a U.S. military base has nothing to do with the Epstein files ... so says a Department of Justice official.

NYT -- citing people familiar with the situation -- claimed she'd been moved because of threats from drug cartels and people upset over her handling of the Epstein Files.

Lindsay Lohan is finally back in the United States after nearly two weeks of having to hunker down in Dubai while Iran bombed the city.

Photogs captured Lindsay leaving an airport in NYC on Wednesday ... pushing a stroller as she made her way to a waiting vehicle.

The blonde bombshell -- who was accompanied by her husband, Bader Shammas -- smiled for the cameras but didn't stop to chat ... not exactly surprising given how exhausting this month has already been for the star.

TMZ Sports has obtained the mug shot of Daniel Di Vonne Parsons -- the man accused of killing pro football player Jordan Jones during an altercation outside of a Georgia bar.

Parsons, 25, was charged with felony murder, aggravated assault, and aggravated battery after Jones was fatally shot outside of Saddle Bar in Acworth, Georgia, on March 7.

"Real Housewives of New York" star Leah McSweeney won a major legal battle this week ... because a judge has shot down a request by Andy Cohen and Bravo to move her lawsuit against them into private arbitration.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, Andy and company litigated some of the case in federal district court ... only to then ask for it to be moved over to private arbitration after some initial rulings. The judge said it was too late for that move, ruling the defendants had already waived that right and can't "have their cake and eat it too."

As a result, it looks like the court proceedings will continue to be held in public through the court system. Page Six was first to report the news.

Harvey Weinstein says prison life has been brutal so far -- claiming he’s already taken a beating behind bars ... including one attack that left him bloodied on the floor.

In his first official sit-down interview behind bars, Weinstein says the incident went down at NYC’s Rikers Island when he simply asked the guy in front of him if he was done using the phone ... and the inmate allegedly responded by decking him in the face.

Weinstein told The Hollywood Reporter the punch sent him crashing to the ground, bleeding everywhere -- and even though guards asked who did it, he says he kept quiet because snitching behind bars is a no-go ... calling it the "law of the jungle."

Overall, things clearly aren’t looking great for Harvey healthwise -- 'cause his rep, Juda Engelmayer, tells TMZ he’s also battling spinal stenosis, blood cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, has a heart stent, is losing vision due to disease, and is now confined to a wheelchair.
