Sherrone Moore copped a plea deal in his criminal case, but he's not completely out of the woods -- Paige Shiver's attorney tells TMZ Sports the former Michigan football staffer is not ruling out suing the coach and the school.

Moore pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors last week ... with the three original charges, including felony home invasion, getting dropped.

Both Shiver and her lawyer, Andrew M. Stroth, expressed disappointment with the deal ... urging the University of Michigan to take accountability for its "painful missteps." Stroth also said Shiver endured years of harassment and manipulation, leaving her "pressured, intimidated, and unable to escape conduct that should never occur in any workplace -- let alone at a public university."

That said, a potential lawsuit against Moore and/or the U-M is not out of the question.

Tyler Robinson -- the 22-year-old accused of murdering Charlie Kirk -- and his lawyers want cameras out of the courtroom to ensure a fair trial ... but the prosecution says, if anything, closed-door hearings will just encourage more outlandish publicity.

In court documents, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors ask for cameras to be allowed in the courtroom, saying, "keeping court proceedings as public as possible helps to quell and contradict the tide of misinformation," while secrecy fuels conspiracy theories.

The prosecution cites "a number of conspiracy theories" that have already circulated, including unfounded accusations that Israel was behind the murder.

Rihanna was at home Sunday when shots were fired inside her house ... and now we have the harrowing audio from the incident.

Listen to the clip ... The first dispatcher appears to say there were approximately 10 shots heard, while another dispatcher names a white Tesla Model 3 with paper license plates as the vehicle the shots were allegedly fired from.

As we reported ... multiple rounds were fired into Rihanna's Los Angeles-area home yesterday. While we know the singer was inside, it's unclear if A$AP Rocky or their children -- RZA, Riot Rose, and Rocki -- were with her.

According to law enforcement sources, the suspect has been identified as 35-year-old Ivanna Lisette Ortiz.

Former NBA star Dwight Howard filed for divorce from his wife Amber Howard -- hours after she made bombshell accusations against him online, TMZ has learned. 

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Dwight filed for divorce on Monday morning. He listed the date of marriage as January 11, 2025, but said they are not separated, with no hope of reconciliation. 

Dwight said the marriage was “irretrievably broken.” He noted that they had no children.

The support from the 'RHOSLC' family was strong. Lisa Barlow, Meredith Marks, Heather Gay, Whitney Rose, Bronwyn Newport, Angie Katsanevas, and Britani Bateman all showed up for Mary during the difficult time.

Andy Cohen confirmed on SiriusXM Monday the funeral services were held Saturday and noted in addition to the cast, there were also some notable Bravoleb cameos -- Kyle Richards, Cynthia Bailey, and Shereé Whitfield attended as well. Andy called them "real ones."

Dak Prescott and Sarah Jane Ramos' split a month before their wedding had nothing to do with money -- sources tell TMZ Sports the "report" making rounds on social media is complete B.S.

The speculation started shortly after we broke the news on Saturday -- one rumor getting picked up is that Sarah Jane didn't want to sign off on Dak protecting his assets if their marriage went south ... leading to the argument in the Bahamas that ultimately ended their engagement.

We made some calls ... and our sources tell us it's simply not true for a couple of reasons.

"Love Island" star Austin Shepard has been open about his addiction struggles in the past ... but not like this. The reality star says he's lost friends to the disease and didn't want to follow in their footsteps.

Austin told TMZ's "Previously On..." podcast, "I know how this road goes. I've got plenty of friends that are not here today that have sadly passed from it. It's either death or a long life of misery."

Thankfully, Austin had a moment of clarity while filming 'Beyond the Villa' in L.A. He says that's when things started to go south with his opioid addiction.

It took a minute ... but Dr. Dre has finally unloaded his longtime Malibu beach house after 4 years on the market -- and he’s walking away with a hefty payday!

Real estate sources tell TMZ the rap mogul sold the carbon 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom pad along iconic Pacific Coast Highway for $16.5 million ... and the deal was done quietly off-market.

Dre originally listed the place in 2022 for $20 million, so he didn’t quite hit that mark -- but the property still fetched a solid price for what it offered, sitting on a roughly 7,000-square-foot lot.

Veteran political strategist James Carville stopped by "TMZ Live" Monday after his controversial 12-minute takedown of Donald Trump over the weekend ... and he told us, he doesn't regret a thing.

ICYMI ... in a video for Politicon posted Saturday, Carville went on a rant, calling Trump a "fat f***," and he proudly proclaimed he's afflicted with "Trump Derangement Syndrome" -- an illness he said doesn't need a cure.

"I don't want to get better. I want to get worse," Carville said in the tirade. "I want to hate him more."

Timothy Busfield did not lay a hand on Claudia Christian or sexually abuse the actress while they were working together on the 1991 film, "Strays" ... at least according to Busfield's rep.

Larry Stein, Busfield's spokesperson, tells TMZ ... the beleaguered actor/director denies all allegations by Christian, who gave a police interview obtained by The Mirror US in which she claimed Busfield grabbed her, threw her against a wall, and kissed her while they were rehearsing lines in his trailer.

According to the report, Christian claimed Busfield had an erection as he stuck his tongue in her mouth during the alleged encounter, which ended when she pushed him away and dashed out of the trailer.

Stein also points out Busfield has not been criminally charged with assaulting Christian.

Logan Paul wasn’t making it up when he said WWE stepped in and shut down his $1 million fight challenge to NFL players -- because TMZ Sports has learned the company really did make the call.

A WWE source tells us executives contacted the social media star directly and made it clear they don’t want him stepping into a boxing ring with football players right now due to his wrestling commitments.

The directive comes after Paul boldly claimed “not a single football player could beat me in a boxing match” and offered up $1 million to anyone willing to prove him wrong.

Several players quickly jumped at the opportunity -- including Le’Veon Bell, Dion Dawkins, Tae Crowder, Brock Hoff and Breiden Fehoko -- all signaling they’d happily lace up the gloves.

But before anything could materialize, Paul said WWE told him the fights were off -- no other excuses, we're told.

Our law enforcement sources tell us the singer was home at the time of the shooting but is okay. It's unclear whether A$AP Rocky and their children -- RZA, Riot Rose and Rocki -- were at the home at the time.

Floyd Mayweather's decision to unretire has some fans believing the 50-0 fighter is running out of money ... but Shawn Porter tells TMZ Sports he's not broke ... he just can't stay away from the sport he loves.

We spoke with Porter -- who retired from boxing in 2021 -- after Mayweather announced his return to the pro ring for a rematch with Manny Pacquiao in September, on top of exhibitions with Mike Tyson and Mike Zambidis.

That said, many are questioning whether "Money" has no money ... or if he's really just been champing at the bit to punch some faces again ... but Porter can explain.

Rachel Zoe's glam weekend in Las Vegas took a dark turn back home ... 'cause TMZ has learned her Los Angeles house was broken into.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star's Bel Air property was burglarized early Sunday morning while she was in Sin City for the opening of Zero Bond Las Vegas.

We're told Zoe's alarm company received an activation alert and the alarm company quickly notified police. Patrol units in the neighborhood responded and spotted two male suspects leaving the property. We're told one of those suspects is in custody.

Country Joe McDonald -- the legendary lead singer and co-founder of 1960s psychedelic folk rock band Country Joe and the Fish, best known for the anti-Vietnam War anthem "I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the Woodstock icon died Saturday evening. Details surrounding his death are currently unclear.

McDonald, born Joseph Allen McDonald, became one of the defining voices of the 1960s protest movement. As frontman of Country Joe and the Fish, he helped shape the San Francisco psychedelic scene during rock's most politically charged era.

His 1969 Woodstock performance, which was complete with the crowd-wide "Fish Cheer," remains one of the festival's most unforgettable moments, cementing his place in counterculture history.
