Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the decision ultimately comes down to strategy -- we're told Netflix wants to focus on just one real estate franchise, and that crown belongs to "Selling Sunset."

Anna Kepner’s stepbrother, T.H. -- who is accused of raping and murdering her on a Carnival cruise -- has been living with family while being monitored by the feds ... but now that he's charged as an adult, prosecutors have changed their tune and want him behind bars pending his trial ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, T.H. -- who was arrested in February and indicted by a federal grand jury for first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse as an adult this week -- has been staying at his uncle Devon Ziske’s home.

T.H. was ordered to stay at home and always be under the supervision of an adult. He was made to wear a GPS monitor and not allowed to be alone with anyone under the age of 18, unless supervised by an adult.

Jake Paul done with boxing after Anthony Joshua?! Hell no.

The Problem Child says he's targeting late 2026 or early 2027 for his return to the ring ... as he continues to heal from the brutal jaw injury he suffered against Anthony Joshua.

"I'm finally feeling healthy again," Paul told Babcock this week. "The jaw is definitely recovering."

Justin Bieber returned to Coachella, where he dazzled with a highly anticipated headlining performance ... and now some fans are paying for it -- literally.

Not long after JB's huge return to the festival stage this past weekend, his Coachella merch hit eBay -- and people are asking big bucks ... and fans are shelling out the Benjamins.

From tank tops to hoodies and hats to Skylark plastic bags ... the markup on Bieber swag is crazy, but clearly fans want a piece of the iconic Coachella comeback, because it's flying off the digital shelf.

For instance ... there's a tank top featuring a shirtless JB flipping the bird, which sold for $90 at the festival -- but is easily getting more than $200 on eBay. "Chelly Valley" Hoodies that were selling for $140 are now getting snapped up for as much as $400.

Ashlee's parents -- Harry and Yolanda, and their respective partners -- sat down with TMZ's Charlie Neff and told us about their communications with Joe, or lack thereof, in the wake of Ashlee's death.

The stepbrother charged with raping and murdering 18-year-old Anna Kepner received a glimmer of good news amid all the bad news in his indictment ... prosecutors say there's no chance he'll be put to death, because it's unconstitutional.

Here's how it all breaks down ... the 16-year-old defendant, identified in court docs as "T.H., a minor," is charged with first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse, and he faces life in prison if convicted. In the charging docs, prosecutors indicated this is not a death penalty case.

In their new motion seeking to keep T.H. behind bars pending his trial, the feds says the death penalty is off the table under Supreme Court precedent that bars the imposition of capital punishment on juvenile offenders. T.H. was 16 at the time he allegedly killed Kepner ... though he was actually indicted as an adult by a federal grand jury.

The cops say they noticed a firearm near the rapper and ordered him out of the car, but he refused ... so the officer arrested him. They also tell us an officer spotted a vape pen with 10 milligrams of THC inside.
