We spoke with Michael Stern -- a Harvard-trained primatologist with decades of experience studying gorillas both in captivity and in the wild in Uganda -- who tells us every primate needs something to love when they're a baby, and they need to be loved ... just like us humans!

Millie Bobby Brown brought out some close friends and family together for an intimate birthday party ... and, if those David Harbour rift rumors weren't dead before, they certainly should be now.

The actress turned 22 earlier this week ... and the party raged at Maison Close in the Soho district of New York City Friday night, where our sources say the group congregated into the early Saturday morning hours.

According to a Kirkwood Police Department report, Meghan drove to the station in Missouri in September 2025 to report alleged threatening phone calls she'd been getting.

Meghan told an officer she'd been receiving consistent calls from an unknown person threatening to hurt her and her kids. Meghan claimed she was getting the calls for the past 2 months ... but said it had gotten increasingly worse over the prior 2 days. She told the officer the person had been making “crazed overt threats” and making less and less sense.

Tyreek Hill and Keeta Vaccaro's relationship is in the crapper, literally ... 'cause the bathroom has actually become a point of contention in the divorce case, with Cheetah's estranged wife asking a judge to force the NFL star to pay for repairs.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ Sports, Vaccaro says the plumbing issue dates back to when the couple's marriage was still intact, but the repairs were never made.

Mel Gibson and a controversial archbishop chopped it up during a visit to the set of "The Resurrection of the Christ" ... but there's no consulting going on, TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... a Friday report stated excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò is a consultant on Mel's follow-up to his blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ." It was a shocking development to some, given that Viganò was booted by the Vatican in 2024 for refusing to recognize Pope Francis’ authority.

A source close to 'Resurrection' production tells TMZ … Viganò is NOT a consultant on the film. Viganò visited the set, and the two conversed … but that’s the extent of their relationship. Viganò posted some snaps of his set visit, which likely kicked the rumors into high gear.

Denise Richards’ estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, is asking a judge to order her to pay him spousal support immediately -- despite his arrest for domestic violence and pending criminal case ... this according to new court docs.

Aaron argues in new legal docs that the only things that should be considered when determining support are his need, and Denise’s ability to pay.

He insists Denise’s claims that he beat her during the marriage should not factor into the judge's decision to grant spousal support ... because there is no criminal conviction against him and the case is still pending. In the docs, Aaron says he entered a plea of not guilty and has denied all of Denise’s claims of abuse.

Kim Kardashian says she's worried her ex making false public comments about her being a criminal racketeer could jeopardize her dreams of passing the bar and becoming an attorney ... according to new legal docs.

You'll recall ... Ray J publicly stated "racketeering charges against the Kardashians would be appropriate” in May last year, and went on to say ... “If you told me that the Kardashians were being charged for racketeering, I might believe it.”

Kim and Kris sued Ray J for defamation over the comments and, in a newly filed declaration, says ... “When [Ray J] made these allegations about me and my mother, he had absolutely no basis to make them.”

Reshona Landfair says she's not going to let R. Kelly's sexual abuse define her life forever -- she was the 14-year-old girl who was seen in the infamous 2001 sex tape -- she's an adult now, out to reclaim her identity.

Reshona joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday and we asked her how the sex tape affected her life ... and if she's thought about a difficult conversation that will inevitably come up with her young son.
