Jussie Smollett's found a new leading man ... because TMZ has learned he's dating "Queer Eye" star Karamo Brown.

The new couple stepped out together in Los Angeles for an all-day date Monday ... grabbing lunch with Karamo's mom, running errands, and wrapping things up with a hike through Runyon Canyon, where they weren't shy about showing a little affection.

The chemistry was hard to miss. The two were smiling their way around town, chatting nonstop and sticking close together.

Denise Richards is asking a judge to make sure her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, promises not to leak her financial records before she's forced to turn them over in their nasty court battle ... TMZ has learned.

The "Wild Things" star filed new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, claiming Aaron has spread all sorts of private information about her to the media in the wake of their split.

Denise says Aaron wants her to turn over bank statements and information about her pay for "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ... but she insists much of that information is subject to confidentiality agreements with production companies, and she wants to make sure a protective order is in place before she sends them over.

Tom Sandoval didn't just open his home to ex-girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson ... he also allegedly supported her and her dad financially for more than a year while they lived with him ... but sources close to Victoria adamantly dispute that account.

Sources close to Tom tell TMZ ... in October 2024, Tom invited Victoria and her dad, Will Robinson, along with their four cats, to move into his home.

We're told Will first moved into the Valley Village home Tom previously shared with ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix before the group later relocated as Tom worked to sell the property.

Madison Square Garden employees are being cut off from the outside world while setting things up for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's mega-bash this week ... because they're not allowed to have their phones while they work.

Employees who work in event production for MSG tell us ... they can't have their phones during the shift, and while they haven't been told why, it's presumably so they can't take pictures of the setup.

We're also told employees are wearing wrist bands -- which is out of the ordinary -- and they have to go through an extra layer of security when they show up to work.

Ginuwine is heading towards marriage again ... 'cause TMZ has learned the R&B star is engaged to 28-year-old Miami realtor Jannette Escartin.

Jannette tells TMZ ... Ginuwine popped the question in Washington, D.C., a couple of weeks ago ... and she said yes.

The newly engaged couple tells us they're very happy and in love.

Kylie Jenner is giving her mega-mansion another shot at finding a buyer ... and she's knocked a cool $10 million off the asking price after it failed to sell months earlier.

The seven-bedroom, 14-bathroom Holmby Hills estate is back on the market for $38.5 million ... it was first listed in December for $48 million ... so this is a significant discount.

Kylie bought the place for $36.5 million in 2020 and was likely hoping for a much bigger payday ... but the hefty price cut suggests a reality check after the home was pulled from the market in March.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's NDA for wedding guests may look intimidating ... but TMZ has learned it doesn't have much bite, because guests who violate it won't face any obvious financial punishment.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the electronic non-disclosure agreement sent to guests does not include a monetary penalty -- or any other punishment for that matter -- if one dared to violate the agreement.

We're also told there's no film release attached, meaning guests weren't asked to sign away their rights to appear on camera -- making a wedding streaming special or documentary seem pretty unlikely.

As TMZ first reported ... between 1,100 and 1,200 guests are expected at Madison Square Garden July 3 to celebrate the couple tying the knot.

The NDA is just one piece of an elaborate security plan.

Lance Stephenson's doing his best Charles Barkley impression ... telling TMZ Sports his message to young hoopers is simple -- do NOT consider him a role model.

We caught up with the NBA vet-turned-BIG3 baller at LAX on Monday ... and had to ask about his recent on-court altercation that resulted in a suspension from Ice Cube's organization.

Peta Murgatroyd and Maks Chmerkovskiy are officially turning the page on their Los Angeles chapter ... 'cause TMZ has learned they've put their family home on the rental market as they settle into their new life in Florida.

Property records, obtained by TMZ, show the former "Dancing With the Stars" pros listed their 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom, roughly 4,300 square foot Valley Village home for rent about 20 days ago with an asking price of $18K per month.

The Napa-inspired house is loaded with upscale finishes, including herringbone oak floors, solid alder wood doors, oak ceilings, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom cherry wood cabinetry and even a hidden "secret pantry."

Tierra Davis allegedly beat up a girl years before entering "Love Island USA" … over jealousy involving her ex-boyfriend ... this, according to the girl who ran to court to get protection.

TMZ obtained a 2018 restraining order filed against Tierra by a woman named Shayla Woodard.

According to the court docs, 16-year-old Shayla claimed 17-year-old Tierra threatened to shoot her with a gun after physically assaulting her.

Gabbie Gonzalez's alleged accomplice Kai Cordrey says he's doesn't have nearly enough cash to post bond ... so now he's asking a judge to slash his $2 Million bail to an amount he says he can actually afford.

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Cordrey -- one of the three defendants charged in the alleged murder-for-hire plot targeting singer Jack Avery -- wants his bail reduced from $2 Million to $100,000 ... claiming he's been stuck behind bars since May solely because he doesn't have the money to get out.

As TMZ previously reported, prosecutors allege Gabbie, her father Francisco Gonzalez and Cordrey conspired to have Avery killed during a bitter custody battle over the daughter they share. Prosecutors claim the trio explored hiring a hitman through the dark web, and all three have pleaded not guilty.

Here at TMZ, we like to move our product in bulk ... and that's easier to do when we kidnap someone onto our TMZ Tour Bus -- like the great Giancarlo Esposito!

Check out the clip ... we got the "Breaking Bad" actor out in Beverly Hills and asked him to come onto our bus to say hi!

Don't worry, Giancarlo was there with his daughter so he was well protected from our shenanigans ... but that didn't stop him from spending some time with our esteemed guests.

Noah Kahan's mystery concert pooper won't be answering to the law after all ... because cops tell TMZ they aren't investigating the crappy incident that left fans gagging.

Philadelphia Police tell TMZ ... no one ever filed a report over the viral bathroom blunder ... so there's no investigation underway despite the internet frenzy.

As we reported, the chaos unfolded during Noah's Friday show at Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park, where a woman was accused of pooping in her seat before allegedly tracking the mess through the crowd. Noah even weighed in afterward on X ... begging fans not to crap their pants.

Del Rio Police Chief Frank Ramirez tells us ... murder suspects Kitty Mia Diaz, her sister, Amaya Cookie, and their friend Kyandra Renee Faz knew the victim Caroline "Caro" Peña -- the mother-of-five they allegedly stabbed to death in broad daylight on a busy street.

Ramirez tells us all four women lived in Del Rio, and he believes the stabbing happened in front of one of the suspects' homes.

Taylor Frankie Paul revealed in a quickly deleted Instagram post over the weekend that police were called to her home ... and TMZ has learned her ex, Dakota Mortensen, is behind that call.
