Years after his wife filed for divorce in Los Angeles ... Drake Bell is following in her footsteps, filing his own divorce petition in Florida.

On Thursday, the former child actor filed for divorce from Janet Bell in Seminole County, FL, but his petition and its details were not immediately available ... according to online court records. We'll update you once we get our hands on the docs.

There's an investigation underway in Idaho after videos purporting to show Bryan Kohberger pacing around his prison cell ended up on the internet.

The footage popped up on social media Thursday and they appear to show Kohberger in prison attire walking around his cell. It's unclear if the videos are legit or A.I.-generated.

While we cannot yet confirm the veracity of the videos, if verified, they are a clear violation of IDOC policy and the parties responsible will be held accountable, up to and including termination."

Triple C joined Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show (airs weekdays on FS1) ... where the former champ-champ was asked about the UFC's historic (and massive) $7.7 BILLION media rights deal with Paramount, and whether he could've ever imagined the sport reaching these heights.

"No, I didn't [imagine MMA could get this big]," the 38-year-old future Hall of Famer said.

If Jose Reyes were in charge of the Mets, he tells TMZ Sports he'd sign Pete Alonso to a career-long contract ... and not blink twice!!

The former New York shortstop chopped it up with us just after Alonso passed Daryl Strawberry this week to become the Mets' all-time home run leader ... and he made it clear, his old team should sign its star first baseman to a massive deal this offseason.

Pete's currently on a two-year, $54 million contract ... but he can become a free agent before the 2026 season thanks to a player option -- and Reyes is hoping that never becomes a reality.

Shedeur Sanders ... QB1 for the Cleveland Browns?? There's a good chance that happens sooner than later -- so says team radio guy Je'Rod Cherry, who tells TMZ Sports he wouldn't be surprised one bit if the rookie's name is called if things go south to start the season.

The Orange and Brown's fifth-round pick is probably the most popular first-year player going into the 2025 campaign ... and after a stellar preseason debut against the Carolina Panthers, some fans are already calling on Cleveland to hand him the keys to the franchise.

Sanders went 14-for-23 for 138 yards and two touchdowns ... with 19 rushing yards as well in the outing.

Former WWE Superstar and two-time RAW Tag Team Champion Matt Riddle is raking in serious cash outside the ring -- thanks to a side hustle that's turning plenty of heads.

Riddle joined the latest episode of TMZ’s "Inside The Ring" podcast and revealed his OnlyFans account is doing "a lot" for his bank account, crediting much of the success to gay men who watch wrestling and find him "extremely attractive."

He says he keeps it pretty tame -- nothing "too crazy" -- usually just rocking a Speedo and doing workouts on camera ... but the results have been a huge financial win.

Taylor Swift lives for Easter eggs ... so it’s no accident her new album’s dropping October 3, AKA "Mean Girls" Day -- and now, one of the movie’s stars is spilling to us what he thinks she’s really up to.

We bumped into Daniel Franzese in L.A. Thursday night, and he couldn’t resist playing detective -- joking Taylor’s probably dropping her 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," on his iconic movie’s official day as a possible dig at her old pal, Blake Lively.

Daniel’s quick to stress he’s just joking -- and you’ve gotta see the rest of the clip, 'cause he doubles down on the fact he’s actually a nice guy ... meaning he probably wouldn’t be part of it if Taylor really was turning "Mean Girls" Day into a shady album drop.

R&B star Givēon is going to give it to you straight -- but also make it sound good. His love anthems are extremely personal tales written by him -- and they just happen to be TOXIC.

TMZ caught up with Givēon outside "Jimmy Kimmel Live" this week, where he performed his new song, "I Can Tell" -- a sweet-talking burner where he tells the girl about her own heart.

Giveon admits his music can be toxic from time to time -- but says you gotta respect it comes from an honest place.

Kroy Biermann's asking a court to make his home the primary residence for his children he shares with Kim Zolciak ... claiming her living environment is no good for the kids.

The former NFL player filed documents in Georgia ... noting that, under the current parenting plan, he and Kim each have two kids at a time -- their two older sons go back and forth together as do their younger twins -- a girl and a boy -- every week.

However, KB says the four kids living essentially separate lives in different homes isn't good for their mental health ... and, he's now asking the court for primary custody to fix it.

George Floyd's brother Terrence is going in on Lil Yachty for referencing George's death in a new song ... and Terrence says Yachty needs a history lesson.

Terrence joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday, and we asked how he felt about Lil Yachty's new song with the lyrics, "Put my knee up on her neck, I went George Floyd."

George's brother says Lil Yachty and others should be careful what they say about GF ... because his death remains a sensitive topic, and it still hurts and upsets the family.

An attorney in South Carolina who's running for governor -- whose arrest may have already tanked his shot -- is finding himself in an even deeper hole now that full body cam video of his arrest is out ... showing him dropping the N-word.

TMZ obtained the clip from the Charleston Police Department -- William "Mullins" McLeod Jr., who’s gunning for the Palmetto State's 2026 gubernatorial seat -- casually tosses in the racial slur during his loud, expletive-packed tirade ... before, ironically, saying, "I better start paying more attention to this racist ass Donald Trump."

It gets wilder -- 'cause during his May arrest for disorderly conduct, a Taylor Swift song starts playing in the background. First up, her 2012 hit "I Knew You Were Trouble" (fitting, right?), followed by "Wildest Dreams" ... which was pretty on point too, 'cause things were spiraling fast!

Quadruple murderer Bryan Kohberger is already bitching about his life in prison and how he's being taunted by fellow inmates ... and the father of one of his victims says that should be the least of his concerns in the joint.

Steve Goncalves, father of Kaylee Goncalves, tells TMZ … He was super pleased to hear inmates are already making Kohberger's life miserable -- and the fact he complained about it to guards shows how truly stupid he is.

As we reported ... Kohberger is crying about how fellow inmates inside his Idaho prison are taunting him by yelling at him through vents at all hours of the day and night ... but prison officials say that's just how inmates talk to each other.

T-Hood was struck by gunfire just months before he was shot dead inside his home ... TMZ has learned.

When the flight attendant allegedly opened the door, Wong claims his genitals were exposed to other passengers.
