Tom Brady may have rung in the new year with a new catch ... the G.O.A.T. was seen getting real cozy with influencer Alix Earle, and TMZ has the videos.

Check out the first video ... Tom and Alix are enjoying the tunes at a party in St. Barths before Alix leans in to whisper something in his ear while caressing his back -- and her hand was there for like ... a while!

In another clip, TB12 is getting his groove on when Alix gives him a sultry over-the-shoulder glance. That was enough to reel the Super Bowl champ in.

Keep in mind ... Tom is almost the same age as Alix's dad. The former star quarterback is 48, while her dad, TJ, is reportedly 50.

Ice Spice turned 26 and turned up -- maybe a little too much -- during her birthday celebrations.

TMZ has obtained photos of Taylor and Stevie Nicks at her bestie's wedding to her businessman beau during an intimate ceremony in Ojai, California. Taylor showed up -- sans fiancé Travis Kelce -- at the Hotel El Roblar to support her friend as she walked down the aisle.

The "Shake It Off" singer braved the rain wearing a shimmering gold dress.

Brooklyn Beckham didn't let the Beckham family feud put a damper on his New Year's Eve ... instead, he rang in 2026 front and center at a South Florida ultra club with wife Nicola Peltz, partying as 50 Cent took over the club at midnight.

A witness tells TMZ ... the couple, whose absence from David Beckham's end of year Instagram post has fueled new buzz on the family drama, were attached at the hip, singing along to every lyric and dancing in their section at E11EVEN as the clock struck 12.

Despite efforts to keep things low key they stood out in the packed club, appearing completely unfazed by the ongoing family tension.

One half of the Island Boys didn't ring in the New Year on a high note ... 'cause TMZ has learned Franky Venegas was arrested again in Florida for alleged drug-related offenses and is currently behind bars.

Law enforcement tells us Franky was booked into the Collier County Jail in Naples Wednesday night on one count of drug paraphernalia, posing for a fresh mug shot ... face tattoos and all.

We're told Franky has no bond, as he's being held on a 24-hour hold because he's already out on bond from a February arrest for delivering/possessing/selling a firearm with an altered serial number.

We broke the story ... Franky was arrested in February on drug and firearm charges. The drug count was dropped, but the firearm charge stuck, and that's the case he's currently out on bond for.

It appears they haven't crossed the T's and dotted the I's just yet ... but, assuming everything progresses as expected, Richard's former residence will officially change hands.

Candace Wakefield might be a five-time Grammy winner ... but, it seems we've discovered her real hidden talent -- hosting the TMZ Brunch Tour!

Elon Musk's recent X post reacting to an American teenager who was facing deportation from Denmark certainly appeared inappropriate to some people … including the teen herself, who wasn't thrilled to be reduced to a number.

Audrey Morris -- the Los Angeles teen who's since resolved her Denmark deportation issue -- stopped by "TMZ Live" Tuesday to unleash on the 54-year-old tech mogul publicly commenting on her looks.

ICYMI ... Audrey had been facing deportation from Denmark after her temporary permit expired -- the 19-year-old had lived there with her mom since she was 9 -- and after seeing her picture, Elon posted, "8 or above level hotness should get an exemption."

Needless to say ... the creepy compliment rubbed Audrey the wrong way. She told us the comment was demeaning to say the least.
