A neighbor says "American Idol" alum Caleb Flynn was the model citizen and ideal father ... before the singer allegedly shot his wife in the head.

As we reported ... court documents show Caleb was charged with murdering his wife Ashley in their Tipp City, Ohio, home while their two daughters slept in another room. But one neighbor tells us no one in the town would've seen this coming.

The neighbor calls Tipp City a Mayberry-like suburb where everybody knows everyone else. And in a city that represented wholesome 1950's-era Americana -- Caleb and Ashley were the perfect embodiment of the town's squeaky-clean image.

A woman who claims to have been attending service during the Minnesota church protest covered by Don Lemon last month is now suing Lemon and other protesters, saying she suffered severe emotional distress as a result of the incident.

In court documents, obtained by TMZ, Ann Doucette claims she was attending a worship service at The Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on January 18 ... when she alleges Don and others "unlawfully interfered" with her ability to "freely exercise her religion in a private place of worship."

Remember ... the demonstration was held in the wake of Renee Good's death and was meant to confront the Cities Church pastor David Easterwood, who is a Minneapolis ICE official.

Doucette is suing for an unspecified amount, claiming she suffered "severe emotional distress, fear, anxiety, and trauma" as a result of the protesters' conduct.

Rob Reiner gave Jerry O'Connell his first job in "Stand By Me" ... and Jerry told us the late director's murder case is so emotional for him, he may not be able to watch the trial of Rob's son.

We caught up with Jerry in NYC, where he told us all he cares about regarding the case is the Reiner family.

He said, "The only thing I wish for is that this is not a strain on the family ... I just hope it does not become a circus."

Gavin Newsom wasn't making racist remarks during a recent event -- since it looked like he was the intermission entertainment at a Coldplay concert -- so says our own Harvey Levin.

The TMZ executive producer tore into the misinformed outrage directed at the Governor of California after he related his own education and background to the audience at a book event in Atlanta, Georgia.

If you haven't seen the clip ... Governor Newsom basically says he had a mediocre SAT score and he can't read well due to his severe dyslexia ... so he's no better than anyone in the audience.

Check the clip -- Meagan was on her way to the Black History and Lifestyle Awards Icons In the Making event, and she says his filming commitments mean their one-year anniversary plans might have to take a backseat to the grind, but she's not bitter about it.

Pedro Pascal and Rafael Olarra couldn't keep their hands off each other on a stroll in Los Angeles this week.

The actor stepped out in Beverly Hills alongside Olarra on Monday ... and, the two were spotted wrapping their arms around each other's waists -- with Pascal even leaning in and resting his mouth and chin on Olarra's broad shoulders.

The pair were all smiles in the California sunshine ... taking a gander at the sky and never straying far from one another.

“Love Is Blind” star Amber Morrison has been getting dragged by the age police ... but TMZ’s got the documentation to shut that down.

We’ve obtained a copy of her driver’s license showing her DOB as April 2, 1991, confirming she’s 34 ... not older, despite internet trolls loudly insisting otherwise.

It’s honestly a rough situation. Sources close to Amber tell us she’s a full-time working mom who doesn’t have hours to obsess over her appearance ... which has been at the center of cruel online digs.

"American Idol" finalist Dimitrius Graham says his recent arrest didn’t just leave him shaken ... it left him sidelined and seriously out of pocket.

Dimitrius tells TMZ he had to cancel two contracted shows after suffering a fractured wrist during the arrest Sunday, costing him a staggering $10,000. On top of that, he says he had to pass on additional freelance gigs because of the injury.

Even with the pain and the paycheck hit, Dimitrius says he’s not planning to sue ... despite people urging him to. Instead, he plans to write about the experience because, in his words, this kind of thing will continue happening to him.

Rosie O’Donnell’s daughter Chelsea O’Donnell was accused of touching a man’s genitals without permission, which led to her being thrown behind bars ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained the report written by the State of Wisconsin Department of Corrections, which detailed why Chelsea’s probation was terminated in late 2025.

Rosie’s daughter was on probation for various arrests that took place in 2023 over alleged child neglect and drugs.

The Department of Corrections report says Chelsea allegedly touched a man's genitals without his permission. Authorities say Chelsea was driving a car, and the alleged victim was in the backseat on the passenger side.

The death of Robert Carradine has shocked Hollywood ... but TMZ has learned there was a troubling sign on his final film project, according to one of his most recent colleagues.

Connie Lamothe, director of "The Driver" -- AKA "Driving into Darkness" -- tells TMZ … she's shocked and devastated about "Bobby's" death … but she knew there was something wrong when he went MIA from her film prior to the table read this week.

Everything was finally back on track and moving along well after the project got derailed by the pandemic … but then in January, Connie tells us Robert went radio silent. Producers had no idea where he was or what was going on. They were worried ... but a friend who is also in the cast knew of his struggles with mental health. So, they decided to give him some space ... and hoped he would return.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Kenya Moore’s hair salon was ordered to pay more than $80,000 in a battle over unpaid rent and utilities ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, a Georgia judge ordered the reality star’s company, Moore Vision Media, to pay $43,988 by late February ... and another $43,988.67 by late March -- for a total of $87,976.

The judge also ordered Kenya’s company to pay around $5,500 a month in rent ... until or unless she ends up vacating.

A couple of weeks after the judge made the decision, the landlord claimed Kenya’s company failed to pay the first installment by the court’s deadline and demanded possession of the property immediately. The court has yet to rule on the request.

Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper was at her house before the actual kidnapping, but the photo of the presumed kidnapper has not resulted in any significant leads ... law enforcement tells TMZ, and we're told it's becoming a "cold case."

FBI sources tell TMZ ... they don't know the precise day the photo was taken, because Nancy's subscription to Nest did not include video (the videos and photos were obtained through Google), which would have provided a time stamp. Based on the FBI's broad investigation ... they believe the man could have arrived on Nancy's doorstep January 11th -- weeks before the February 1st abduction -- but they are not certain. BTW, Kash Patel said weeks ago the photo was taken the morning of her disappearance -- that is incorrect.

Our sources say neither the still photo nor the video from February 1st has helped them identify the getaway car or the suspect. As we reported, authorities have been sweeping the area for video of suspicious persons and/or vehicles, to no avail.

As for The Guthrie family's new outreach -- offering up to $1 million for information leading to the return of Nancy -- we're told the family has been thinking about making this offer for a while. In the video, Savannah acknowledges it would be a "miracle" if her mom was alive ... our sources say the FBI never told the family the chances Nancy was alive were slim ... it's something the family came to terms with on their own.

Kim Kardashian just linked up with 50 Cent ... and no, this isn’t a random photo op, 'cause the two were spotted rolling onto set together to shoot the new Netflix film, "The Fifth Wheel."

Cameras caught the pair between takes of a club scene -- and yes, we were the ones who broke the news 50 joined the cast.

Tyra Banks is embroiled in a nasty court battle over her Ice Cream company -- claiming a landlord is attempting a “celebrity shakedown."

In court docs, Tyra, who is battling with a Washington D.C. landlord over a scrapped plan to open an ice cream shop ... is now seeking more than $50,000 in sanctions from the landlord who tried to drag her to court.

Tyra said the landlord knows she lives in Australia and has no real ties to America or D.C., where the lawsuit was filed. She said her move to the land Down Under was well-publicized, and the landlord should have been aware.
