Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce shared an intimate dinner at an NYC restaurant Friday night -- and the two were a picture of happiness ahead of their much-anticipated wedding!

TMZ obtained a photo of Taylor and Travis sitting in a corner booth inside Sartiano -- an Italian restaurant in the fancy Mercer Hotel in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood.

We're told the power couple was having a blast -- smiling, laughing and talking the night away. Our source did not see any PDA ... but said Taylor and Travis looked sweet and are definitely in love!

Mackenzie Shirilla's final text interactions with her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, via text showed frustrations ... but didn't appear hint at the horrific tragedy that would follow.

We've obtained the messages she exchanged with Russo just days before the crash ... and, in them, she complains about "Davion" -- presumably Davion Flanagan -- taking too long to get in the car.

The texts Shirilla and Dominic sent back and forth are short -- curt even -- but, they don't really raise any eyebrows ... they're missing apparent threatening language and toxicity.

Mackenzie Shirilla apparently kept her hustle going behind bars ... at least according to a former inmate who says she found creative ways to make money while locked up.

Kat Crowder, who says she spent six months in prison with Shirilla, tells TMZ Mackenzie got crafty with an arts kit -- making jewelry, including nose rings, bracelets, and custom shoes ... claiming Mackenzie told people if they wanted something, they could pay up via Cash App.

Catch the full clip ... 'cause Kat refers to the platforms Mackenzie was active on as "sugar daddy" websites -- though she says that label was more jail slang than literal.

President Trump’s oldest grandchild, Kai Trump, is getting exactly what she pleaded for in court -- protection from an alleged stalker, who's been ordered to stay away from her ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained the petition 19-year-old Kai filed in Palm Beach County Court, against a 26-year-old man named Gabriel Garza Jr.

A judge granted Kai -- Don Jr. and Vanessa Trump's first born -- a temporary restraining order in April, which restricts Gabriel from stalking, cyberstalking, or committing any criminal offense resulting in physical injury or death.

Kyle Busch's medical emergency has been partially revealed by 911 audio obtained by TMZ Sports ... with a caller saying the NASCAR superstar was struggling to breathe, overheating and coughing up blood before medics rushed to help.

During the emergency call placed around 5:30 PM Wednesday, the caller urgently requests an ambulance to a training facility in Concord, North Carolina ... telling dispatch, "I've got an individual that's shortness of breath, very hot, thinks he's going to pass out, and he's producing a little bit of blood, coughing up some blood."

The caller also confirmed the patient was still conscious at the time ... repeatedly telling dispatch, “He is awake. He's awake. He's awake.”

Gabbie Gonzalez is out of custody after posting $2 million bail ... TMZ has learned.

The influencer -- who was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder -- was released from custody Friday just after 4 PM PT.

The judge set a series of conditions for Gabbie's release during her arraignment on Thursday on top of the $2 million ... including mandated GPS monitoring, an order to stay away from her daughter and the child's father, Jack Avery, and an order not to post about the criminal case on social media.

It sure sounds like Austin Reaves wants to be a Los Angeles Laker next season ... but not only that -- he tells TMZ Sports he'd love to "run it back" with LeBron James, too!!

We caught up with the upcoming free agent after the Purple and Gold's playoff exit ... and asked how he'd feel about getting the King to stay in L.A.

Of course, Reaves would have to put pen to paper himself before he thinks ahead to the 2026-27 roster ... but Lakers Nation has gotta be wondering how they could've done this postseason if everyone was healthy.

Naji Marshall is proving he's just as generous off the court as he is talented on it ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned he left a massive tip for a server during a family dinner in New Orleans.

Sources at Otis Seafood House tell TMZ ... the Dallas Mavericks forward stopped by the popular NOLA restaurant Saturday for a birthday dinner with family and quickly made an impression on everyone in the building when he dropped a whopping four-figure tip.

Our sources say Marshall happily took photos with the entire group before quietly pulling the restaurant manager aside and offering to pay for their meal.

TMZ obtained photos of the 24-year-old influencer walking out of the Los Angeles County Jail Friday evening, where she'd been held for days.

Gabbie looked like she was headed off to war ... rocking a camo off the shoulder top with one side slipping lower, loose fitting camo cargo pants and flip-flops. The influencer appeared minimally styled after spending several nights behind bars.

We broke the story ... authorities say Gabbie, her father Francisco Gonzalez, and her ex-boyfriend Kai Faron Cordrey planned to pay a man to kill Gabbie's ex and singer Jack Avery.

Grizz Chapman, the actor best known for his work on the classic sitcom "30 Rock," has died.

Mackenzie Shirilla wants some legal help from Kim Kardashian as she sits in prison for the murder of two young men ... but TMZ has learned that it probably ain't happening.

Here's the deal... in a call -- obtained by PEOPLE and recorded while Mackenzie was held at the Cuyahoga County Corrections Center in Ohio -- the convict said she wanted Kim's help. Mackenzie even said she wanted KK to be her lawyer! Uhh ... Who wants to tell her?

A source close to Kim tells TMZ ... Kim advocates for criminal justice reform by supporting individuals she believes were wrongfully convicted, as well as people within the prison system who have demonstrated rehabilitation and deserve a fair second chance. This case does not fall within her focus.

‘90 Day Fiance’ star Patrick Mendes wants out of his 4-year marriage with Thais Ramone … and sole legal custody of their kid, TMZ has learned.

We obtained the divorce docs Patrick filed this week, which say he’s asking for sole legal custody and primary physical custody of their 3-year-old daughter, Aleesi.

According to the court papers … Patrick makes twice as much as Thais – he says he makes $10K a month and she pulls in $5K -- so he’s not asking for child or spousal support.

Michael Wolff tried pulling a legal fast one on Melania Trump ... at least according to the federal judge who just tossed his case.

Wolff -- the longtime Trump biographer behind books like "Fire and Fury" -- sued after Melania's lawyers threatened him with a $1 Billion defamation lawsuit tied to comments he made linking her to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

But on Friday, a federal judge completely shut down Wolff’s lawsuit ... accusing him of "gamesmanship," "forum-shopping,” and abusing the judgment process by trying to beat Melania to the courthouse before she could sue him herself.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' alum Kim Zolciak is in court fighting her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, over claims she neglects their kids, weeks after having her custody temporarily suspended, TMZ has learned. 

Kim filed court docs, obtained by TMZ, claiming the custody decision was made without the proper witnesses testifying, including a therapist who speaks to their family. 

In the filing, Kim alleged the therapist refused to show up to the hearing and testify, despite being under a subpoena. The RHOA alum said she wasn’t able to grill the witnesses present, including the court-ordered lawyer. 

Looks like Halsey and ex Alev Aydin may’ve quietly worked things out ... because she’s officially dropped her custody case against him.

According to docs obtained by TMZ, Halsey told the judge she no longer wants to move forward with the custody case she filed involving their 4-year-old son, Ender. The court dismissed the case after concluding her decision was made "knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily."

Exactly what changed since she first filed isn’t clear ... but it's possible the former couple may’ve reached some sort of private agreement behind the scenes.

The ceremony was officiated by Brad McPherson ... a longtime real estate attorney who has worked closely with the Trump family for years. This was a legal formality the pair needed to handle before their actual ceremony outside of the U.S.
