Livvy Dunne and Paul Skenes are celebrating their love with a getaway in Hawaii ... and while the Cy Young winner elected not to pop top, the former gymnast made sure to get every bit of sun she could during some time by the pool.

The lovebirds have been hanging out in Kauai this week ... just a few days after the Pittsburgh Pirates flamethrower added his hardware for being the best pitcher in the National League to his trophy case.

Dunne rocked a straw hat and green two-piece swimsuit for their time by the tank ... and Skenes chose to go with a more covered-up look -- a cutoff hoodie, sweats, and a bandana.

TikTok star Ben Bader died from complications of cardiovascular disease, TMZ has learned.

According to medical examiner documents obtained by TMZ, the content creator had untreated hardening and narrowing of the arteries ... and his death has been ruled as natural. Florida's Palm County Medical Examiner noted genetic factors "were likely involved in the development" of his cardiovascular impairment.

Ben was believed to be healthy, and only had recent complaints of back and shoulder pain he sought physical therapy to alleviate, the documents further state. The pain reliever codeine was traced in his urine, but not in his blood ... and was not a contributing factor to his unexpected death.

Amanda Bynes says a viral video claiming she was pregnant with former Nickelodeon executive Dan Schneider's kid when she was just 13 years old is completely bogus.

The former Nickelodeon star tells TMZ ... the video going around TikTok was not made by her, it's altered and full of BS.

While the viral video makes it look like Amanda is coming out with some serious allegations against Dan, she says it's not from her TikTok ... and whoever made it spliced up some of her social media videos to make up "lies for click bait."

The New York Yankees home jersey from Lou Gehrig's last dominant season as a big leaguer is on the auction block ... and it's expected to sell for a whopping $3-4 MILLION!

1937 was the last time Gehrig would play a season unaffected by ALS -- the progressive, neurological disease that ultimately took his life in 1941 -- and was he ever great.

The Iron Horse put up ridiculous numbers, blasting 37 home runs and driving in 159 runs, all while batting .351. Gehrig only struck out 49 times (for reference, last year's league leader struck out 221 times).

4:49 PM PT -- A spokesperson for Carnival Cruise Line tells TMZ ... "The Carnival Radiance crew responded to a potential overboard alert off the coast north of Ensenada, Mexico when some guests reported hearing a splash in the water.  The ship returned to the area where there was a potential sighting of an individual to conduct a rescue operation. In the meantime, the crew completed a full guest and crew headcount as is our standard safety protocol and all guests and crew have been accounted for. The splash could have very well been a whale but there is no way to confirm that. In any case, all on board are accounted for and the ship will resume its itinerary."

Chadwick Boseman was honored with a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Thursday, and his widow Simone Boseman spoke to us about his legacy and what this honor does for it.

As you know, Chadwick made history with his portrayal as T'Challa in "Black Panther" ... but Simone tells us its impact reached beyond just that film franchise.

She pointed out he blazed a trail for all future Black superheroes ... "He made space and now there can be more and more and more ... he set it up. He played the role he was meant to play."

"Love & Hip Hop: Miami" star Sukihana -- AKA "Suki with the Good Coochie" -- apparently got some good d*** last night ... that's what she told us when we caught her at LAX in a wheelchair.

In the middle of a pretty wholesome conversation about her recent birthday, our photog just casually acknowledged the wheelchair Suki was sitting in.

Without hesitation, she blurted out, "I got f****d so hard last night. I'm not gonna lie, I got some good birthday d***, so I can't walk or nothing."

Sia also lists her estranged husband, Daniel Bernad, who she expects her lawyers to cross-examine on various issues like custody ... and accountant Tracy Katz, who she says will testify about child support and other financial issues.

Marciano Brunette from "Vanderpump Villa" made a return cameo in "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," stirring up some drama this season ... and he says he's feeling regret for some of his lies about the scandal.

Marciano claimed he and Jessi Ngatikaura had a sexual affair after meeting on their crossover episode ... and now he's feeling ways about that action. We caught up with the reality star leaving SUR in West Hollywood -- showing some support for former boss Lisa Vanderpump -- and he tells us he has regrets about coming forward about the affair in the way he did.

He said he feels bad for his contribution to the rockiness of Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura's relationship ... asked where his relationship stands with Jessi now, Marciano hesitates -- check out the video for more about their current status.

President Donald Trump has signed a bill legislating the release of the Epstein Files ... but a Democratic lawmaker does not have faith the Commander in Chief will honor the commitment.

Rep. Suhas Subramanyam stopped by TMZ Live Thursday to tell us Trump's signature doesn't guarantee a whole lot. The Virginia congressman told us he wouldn't be surprised if Trump tampered with the files, or only releases files relating to Democrats, or withholds anything that could make him look bad.

Suhas said ... "I think that's why he was so quick to sign the legislation."

The Kessler Twins paid thousands for their assisted suicides ... TMZ has learned.

Wega Wetzel -- a spokesperson for the assisted suicide company DGHS -- tells TMZ ... the going rate for one assisted suicide is 4,000 euros per person, or 6,000 euros for two people together -- that's about $4,600 and $7,000, respectively. This covers the cost of complete care by doctors and lawyers, including expenses.

Alice and Ellen Kessler contacted DGHS -- which, when translated, stands for German Society for Humane Dying -- more than a year ago because they wanted to end their lives with dignity on the same day together, Wetzel says. They ultimately decided to end their lives in their home in Grünwald near Munich this week.

Proud hip hop head Bill Bellamy is finally getting his wish from a couple of years ago that rap would be represented better at the podium ... and lo and behold, two of his favorite albums -- in Clipse's "Let God Sort 'Em Out" and Kendrick Lamar's "GNX" -- are up for Album of the Year!!!

Bill chopped it up with TMZ Hip Hop in NYC this week, where the comedian noted how the Grammys were leaning more on the eclectic side to broaden their audience reach.

If you recall, Bill blasted the Grammys shortly after the 66th Awards in 2023 after they deemed Bonnie Raitt's "Just Like That" as Song of the Year. Two years later, the track only has 8 million plays on Spotify, so his criticisms have held up.

Canadian actor Spencer Lofranco -- best known for his starring roles in "Jamesy Boy" and "Gotti" -- has died.

TMZ has learned his death is being investigated in British Columbia, Canada. The cause has not yet been determined.

His brother, Santino Lofranco, paid tribute to the star on Instagram and revealed he passed on Tuesday. He remembered him as a "legend" who "changed people [sic] lives."

Snoop Dogg has added yet another illustrious volume to his literary library -- a cookbook dedicated to the world of baking  ... which includes edible delights!!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Big Snoop at Universal Studios on Wednesday, and he gave us the full course index for "Treats To Eat," the new 55-recipe cookbook that allows bakers the option to seed some weed, where they see fit.

Snoop tells us don't just take his word for it ... the New York Times certified his previous cookbooks as best-sellers, so anyone with an appetite might want to dig on in!!!

Philadelphia Eagles great LeSean McCoy believes the defending champs are still the team to beat in the NFL ... and he explained why on the TMZ Sports Live Stream!!

Shady joined Babcock, Luca, and Lucas on the show this week to weigh in on the state of the Eagles ... and fresh off a win over the Detroit Lions in Week 11, he said they're not only the best in the NFC, but the whole NFL.

Losses to the Giants and Broncos don't have him in panic mode, either -- McCoy said bad outings are bound to happen from time to time ... but it doesn't mean anything necessarily needs fixing, and last season ending in "green confetti" is proof.
