Paul Pierce is just the latest celebrity to fall prey to Los Angeles' burglary epidemic ... the former NBA superstar's home was broken into Friday night, and the perpetrators got away with luxury watches and over $100k in cash.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports the 46-year-old 10x NBA All-Star's pad was hit when Pierce wasn't home, and a mind-boggling amount of personal treasure was stolen.

Amongst the burglarized items were expensive watches, 6 figures in cash, and a safe ... which police are currently trying to track down.

As for the criminal investigation, we're told cops have been combing through video from the scene, hoping to find a critical piece of evidence that'll crack the case.

No arrests have been made.

While he's the latest, he's not the first big-named star to have their personal spaces violated, and their belongings stolen ... it's been an issue in the City of Angels for years.

Post Malone, Bella Thorne, Yasiel Puig, Rihanna, Quentin Tarantino, Drake and so many other stars have fallen victim.

In fact, the LAPD recently talked about "burglary tourists" from South America who travel to Los Angeles solely to target luxurious mansions.

Police say the rings sometimes use high-tech equipment like jammers to bypass security systems.

It's unclear if one of these rings is behind the Pierce burglary.

Kate Middleton se veía un poco delgada para algunos en el nuevo video de ella del fin de semana pasado, pero una gurú del fitness está de su lado y esa es Jillian Michaels.

Una de las primeras conclusiones que muchos sacaron al ver el clip de Kate y el príncipe William en el Windsor Farm Shop -a una milla de su casa- es que ella se veía un poco delgada, o más bien, más delgada de lo habitual. Kate Middleton ya es una mujer muy delgada, pero aquí podría verse aún más flaca.

Respecto a eso, Jillian le dice a TMZ que desde su perspectiva Kate se ve muy bien, tanto en términos de peso como de salud en general, sobre todo si se tiene en cuenta que pasó por el quirófano hace solo 2 meses.

En los ojos de Jillian, Kate está en su peso justo para una mujer de su tamaño y también señala que alguien que suele ser más delgado, puede perder algunos kilos al someterse a un procedimiento como el de ella y para Jillian, Kate se ve normal.

En cuanto a las especulaciones sobre su salud, su peso o cualquier otra cosa, Jillian dice que la gente tiene que calmarse y dejarla en paz porque no es de su incumbencia.

Jillian recuerda que los temas de salud son muy personales, y que dado todo el escrutinio al que ha estado sometida Kate últimamente, Jillian dice que todos necesitan perspectiva.

Sabio consejo de Jillian, pero algo nos dice que el público seguirá escudriñando cada pequeño detalle. Recuerden, antes del video que publicamos el lunes, no la habíamos visto desde diciembre, lo que es bastante tiempo.

Por supuesto, ella se sometió a una cirugía abdominal por una condición que no se ha hecho pública y el Palacio de Kensington dijo que no reanudaría sus funciones hasta por lo menos después de Pascua.

Lo que levantó las sospechas de todo el mundo respecto a su paradero y su estado de salud fue la foto que publicó para el Día de la Madre la semana pasada, la que se comprobó que había sido manipulada.

Kate Middleton came across as somewhat thin to some who saw our new video of her from this past weekend -- but she's got one fitness guru in her corner ... one Jillian Michaels.

One of the first takeaways many had upon viewing the clip of Kate and Prince William at the Windsor Farm Shop -- about a mile from her home -- was that she looked sorta skinny ... or rather, skinnier than usual. KM is already a slender woman ... but here, perhaps more so.

To that, Jillian tells TMZ ... Kate looks just fine in her eyes -- both in terms of weight and overall health ... especially when you consider she went under the knife only 2 months ago.

In JM's eyes, Kate is right where she oughta be for a woman of her general size -- even noting to us that someone who's usually a bit thinner might lose some pounds while recovering after a procedure like the one she underwent ... and to Jillian, Kate looks normal.

On the subject of speculating on Kate -- be it her health, her weight or anything else -- Jillian tells us folks need to piss off and leave her alone ... 'cause it's not their business.

She reminds us someone's health journey is very personal -- and considering the type of microscope Kate's been under lately ... Jillian says everyone needs perspective.

Sage advice from Jillian -- but something tells us the public will continue picking apart every little detail. Remember, prior to the video TMZ published Monday ... we hadn't seen her on her own two feet since December, which is quite a long time.

Of course, she underwent abdominal surgery -- for a condition that hasn't been made public -- and Kensington Palace said she wouldn't be resuming her duties until at least after Easter.

What made everyone even more suspicious of her whereabouts and well-being had a lot to do with a photo she released on Mother's Day last week ... which was proven to be doctored.

7:16 AM PT -- Joe's rep tells TMZ, "The filing was a legal formality, and the couple continues to negotiate an amicable resolution."

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas have failed to hash out a settlement in their divorce, so now she's filed legal docs asking the judge to lay down the law and end the marriage.

Sophie's docs, obtained by TMZ, ask to "reactivate" the divorce proceedings, which were put on hold as the former couple went to mediation to work out a property and child custody settlement.

Apparently, those discussions broke down, so she's asking the judge to hear the case and impose a court-ordered settlement.

They went to mediation in part to keep their disputes private ... but that won't be the case now that she's asked to have a judge take it on ... all the filings -- outlining their disputes -- will now be public.

As we reported, Joe and Sophie had significant disagreements on where the children would live full-time ... she wanted to take them to the UK -- Joe wanted to keep them in the U.S. It got so bad, Sophie filed legal docs involving a child abduction law, but she dropped it.

It seems they're still at loggerheads over custody. They had a prenup, so property is probably not a big issue.

Joe and Sophie reached a temporary child custody arrangement, but it seems they've been unable to hash out a permanent one.

Both Joe and Sophie have moved on romantically ... he's with Stormi Bree, she's with Perry Pearson.

So it's game on ... again.

Bruno Mars no le debe millones al casino del MGM, a pesar de los recientes informes... TMZ ha indagado.

Un representante de MGM Resorts International le dice a TMZ que el cantante no tiene la supuesta deuda de juego de $50 millones -a pesar de que algunos recientemente afirmaron lo contrario- en cambio, MGM salió en defensa de Bruno diciendo que todo es falso.

De hecho, están muy emocionados de colaborar con el ganador del Grammy de nuevo en el futuro.

Y añaden: "Estamos orgullosos de nuestra relación con Bruno Mars, uno de los artistas más emocionantes y dinámicos del mundo. Desde sus espectáculos en Dolby Live en Park MGM hasta el nuevo salón Pinky Ring en Bellagio, la marca de entretenimiento de Bruno atrae a visitantes de todo el mundo. La asociación entre MGM y Bruno es duradera y se basa en el respeto mutuo. Cualquier especulación de lo contrario es completamente falsa; él no tiene ninguna deuda con MGM. Juntos, estamos entusiasmados por seguir creando experiencias inolvidables para nuestros huéspedes".

Esta actualización se produce poco después de que un informe comenzó a circular la semana pasada, el que afirmó que MGM básicamente tenía una supuesta factura de juego de Bruno valorada en decenas de millones. Mientras que Bruno aún no ha abordado el rumor, MGM dejó claro que no hay nada turbio en su relación de negocios. Por cierto, Bruno tiene una residencia próximamente allí.

Bruno se abrió previamente con James Corden en 2016 sobre ser un tahúr antes de alcanzar la fama mundial. En una aparición de "Carpool Karaoke" en "The Late Late Show", explicó que solía jugar al póquer para ayudar a pagar su alquiler en Los Ángeles, así que al tipo sí le gusta apostar.

Bruno Mars doesn't owe millions in gambling debt to MGM Resorts -- despite what a recent report claimed ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for MGM Resorts International tells TMZ ... the singer doesn't have a $50 million gambling tab on the books with them -- even though some recently alleged the opposite. Instead, MGM came to Bruno's defense ... calling the allegation he owes a massive sum completely false.

In fact, the Las Vegas hot spot is super excited to collaborate with the Grammy winner again in the future -- not exactly the tone someone would take with a dude who's got a fat bill.

They add ... "We’re proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the world’s most thrilling and dynamic performers. From his shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM to the new Pinky Ring lounge at Bellagio, Bruno’s brand of entertainment attracts visitors from around the globe. MGM and Bruno's partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect. Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM. Together, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests."

This update comes shortly after a report began circulating this past week that claimed MGM basically owned Bruno over an alleged gambling bill that was worth tens of millions. While Bruno has yet to address the gossip, MGM made it clear that there is nothing shady about their business relationship. BTW, Bruno's got an upcoming residency there at the resort.

Bruno previously opened up to James Corden in 2016 about being a card shark before hitting worldwide fame. In a "Carpool Karaoke" appearance on 'The Late Late Show,' he explained that he used to play poker to help pay his rent in L.A. ... so the dude does like to gamble.

La separación de Mauricio Umansky y Kyle Richards se podrá ver en televisión. Umansky dice que las imágenes que muestran la ruptura aparecerán en "Buying Beverly Hills".

Hablamos con Mauricio la semana pasada mientras construía casas en el sur de Los Ángeles en coordinación con Habitat for Humanity junto a sus hijas, quienes aparecen en gran medida en el tráiler de la segunda temporada del exitoso reality show de Netflix.

Al parecer las conversaciones en el tráiler no serán públicas, en cambio, Mauricio dice que las cámaras rodaron en Aspen el verano pasado el mismo fin de semana que la noticia de la separación estalló en línea.

Mauricio dice que la familia decidió no ocultar sus problemas de las cámaras, mostrando su  vulnerabilidad en el show, algo que él espera que sirva de ayuda a los miembros de la audiencia que podrían estar pasando por una situación similar.

Por supuesto, nuestra charla con Mauricio viene en los talones de la impactante reunión de "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills", donde Kyle reveló que Mauricio está buscando salir de su casa.

La pareja se separó en julio pasado, y tanto Kyle como Mauricio se han relacionado con nuevas parejas, aunque ambos han negado cualquier nueva relación romántica.

Umansky explicó que no está muy lejos del proceso de mudanza cuando le preguntamos al respecto, pero agregó que no está totalmente listo para abrirse sobre los detalles todavía.

Mauricio Umansky and Kyle Richards' separation is coming to television in its rawest form ... with Umansky saying footage from right after the news broke will appear in "Buying Beverly Hills."

We spoke with Mauricio last week while he was building homes in South Los Angeles in coordination with Habitat for Humanity alongside his daughters ... who are featured heavily in the season 2 trailer for the hit Netflix reality show.

Apparently, the convos in the trailer aren't staged ... instead, Mauricio says cameras were set to roll on the family in Aspen last summer -- the same weekend news of the separation blew up online.

MU says the fam decided not to hide their issues from the cameras ... and instead allowed themselves to be vulnerable for the show -- something he's hoping will help members of the audience who might be going through a similar situation.

Of course, our talk with Mauricio comes on the heels of the shocking 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' reunion ... where Kyle revealed Mauricio is looking to move out of their home.

This seems to be a long time coming ... the two separated last July, and both Kyle and Mauricio have been linked to new partners -- though they've both denied any new romantic relationships.

Umansky explained he's not super far into the moving process when we asked about it ... but added he's not totally ready to open up about specifics just yet either.

Caitlyn Jenner and Lamar Odom are reuniting for a new project -- a sports podcast that pays homage to their "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" connection ... TMZ has learned.

The former in-laws -- Caitlyn was Lamar's stepfather-in-law when the ex-NBA star was married to Khloe Kardashian -- are launching "Keeping Up with Sports," a podcast meant to take a fresh look at what it really takes to be the best.

This venture sounds like a good fit for the pair ... as Caitlyn famously won an Olympic gold medal in 1976 and Lamar won two NBA championship rings with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Caitlyn and Lamar, along with cohost Zach Hirsch, will drop their first episode in the next few weeks ... with boxing legend Sugar Ray Leonard as their kickoff guest.

Check out a sneak peek video ... where Sugar Ray opens up about being a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of one of his trainers. He says he had an emotional reaction after sharing his truth for the first time in decades, confessing, "I was hurting."

While the new podcast seems promising, we're curious to learn how Kris Jenner feels about it ... seeing how Kris and Caitlyn's relationship has been rocky over the years. Remember, in October, Caitlyn confirmed she doesn't speak to her ex-wife anymore ... for various reasons.

Still, since the podcast focuses on the sports world, it'll be interesting to see if the family comes up at all.

Upcoming guests include CBS basketball analyst Seth Davis, boxer Bryce Hall, model Amber Rose, world champion boxer Zab Judah, professional stuntman Steve-O, and UFC fighter Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett.

Caitlyn Jenner y Lamar Odom se reunirán para un nuevo proyecto... un pódcast deportivo que rinde homenaje a su "Keeping Up With the Kardashians"... TMZ ha indagado.

Los ex suegros -Caitlyn era el padrastro de Lamar cuando la ex estrella de la NBA estaba casada con Khloe Kardashian- están lanzando "Keeping Up with Sports", un pódcast destinado a mostrar una nueva mirada a lo que realmente se necesita para ser el mejor.

Esta empresa suena como un buen ajuste para la pareja, pensando en que Caitlyn ganó una medalla de oro olímpica en 1976 y Lamar ganó dos anillos de campeonato de la NBA con Los Angeles Lakers.

Caitlyn y Lamar, junto con el co-presentador Zach Hirsch, lanzarán su primer episodio en las próximas semanas, con la leyenda del boxeo Sugar Ray Leonard como invitado de lanzamiento.

Échale un vistazo a un video de adelanto donde Sugar Ray se abre sobre ser víctima de abuso sexual a manos de uno de sus entrenadores. Dice que tuvo una reacción emocional después de compartir su verdad por primera vez en décadas, confesando: "Estaba dolido".

Mientras que el nuevo pódcast parece prometedor, tenemos curiosidad por saber cómo Kris Jenner se siente al respecto, viendo cómo la relación de Kris y Caitlyn ha sido rocosa los últimos años. Recordemos que en octubre Caitlyn confirmó que ya no habla con su ex esposa... por diversas razones.

Sin embargo, dado que el pódcast se centra en el mundo del deporte, será interesante ver si la familia sale a relucir.

The NBA's gonna have a real problem on its hands when LeBron James retires ... so says Kwame Brown, who tells TMZ Sports the league isn't putting enough focus on the next generation of athletes -- like that one guy on the OKC Thunder.

We spoke with the former 2001 No. 1 overall pick at LAX this week about the current state of the Association ... and he pointed out the top teams in the Western Conference aren't getting nearly as much coverage as the Lakers due to the LeBron effect.

"You got this young talent," Brown said. "The only thing I see what's wrong with the NBA is that they hold on to the 'superstar' thing too long. We got OKC ... before, I didn't even know their starting 5. You don't even know their coach."

"You gotta start promoting this young talent that you have. Otherwise, they're going to be scrambling when LeBron's gone."

Our camera guy pretty much proved Brown's point ... 'cause when he brought up MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, he asked how his name's pronounced -- and both dudes were stumped.

"I don't know either," Brown admitted. "He's not on ESPN every day."

FYI -- it's "Shay."

As for SGA's season, the 25-year-old Canadian is averaging 31.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 2.1 steals a game ... leading the Thunder to a 46-20 record, tied for the best in the Western Conference.

Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt wants to have a child, but he says he's a bit too old to adopt ... so he's looking for a Gen-Z'er to carry his baby.

We spoke with Zsa Zsa Gabor's widow in Bev Hills, and he told us he's gotten lots of marriage proposals since Gabor died back in 2016 ... but he's not looking to shack up with some older woman. Instead, he wants someone young and ready to pop out his child.

Frédéric -- who just turned 80 -- says he's been scouring Europe, and now the United States, for the right person to carry his child and carry on his legacy, and Zsa Zsa's too.

As for the baby-makin' part ... Frédéric assures us everything is in working order down there -- adding Viagra's been an absolute miracle for him.

FPVA points out tons of older dudes are gettin' their younger women pregnant ... just take Robert De Niro and Al Pacino for example, who were both around the same age as von Anhalt when they had their kids last year.

Hold your horses, potential suitors ... 'cause this playboy's not just looking for any woman -- he's got a few must-haves on his list. Take a listen for yourself ... sounds like von Anhalt's got a particular kinda girl in mind.

Frédéric's not wasting any time either ... he says he's already been on a few dates and wants the bun in the oven within the next year!

You may remember, von Anhalt adopted a 27-year-old back in 2022 to carry on his legacy ... but -- after the A&E "Adults Adopting Adults" reality show was canceled -- von Anhalt told us he didn't want to be an adoptive father anymore. Kinda strange because Thursday he said that actually wasn't the truth, and insisted his adopted son Kevin actually ran off on him.

Ray J's car collection is a couple rides light today ... 'cause he apparently he's missing two high-priced automobiles -- and we're told he's not getting a straight answer about their whereabouts.

Sources close to Ray J with direct knowledge tell us ... two of Ray's Maybach SUVs are currently missing after having been put on a enclosed car carrier to New York City Friday night.

We're told the cars were supposed to show up in New York today ... but apparently never did. Instead, our sources say the cars' have been tracked -- and, it seems the trackers are just sitting still in Reno, Nevada.

Sources tell us Ray's reached out to the shipping company in charge of moving the cars ... but they say he's not getting a straight answer on where exactly the Maybachs are right now.

Ray J's got the police involved we're told ... and -- though the cars are currently missing and not stolen as far as anyone knows -- police are investigating the matter.

We're also told Ray J -- who's out in NYC to launch his new original content steaming platform The Tronix Network -- will still be at all of the pre-organized events while figuring out next steps with the cars.

BTW Maybach SUVs ain't cheap -- with some reports saying cars like that can go for upwards of $200k ... so you can imagine Ray J's pretty keen on getting his vehicles back!

Chris Appleton ha dado vuelta la página de su ex marido Lukas Gage, y ahora está saliendo con un nuevo novio que no tiene vínculos con Hollywood.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que el peluquero de celebridades, conocido por ser uno de los mejores amigos de Kim Kardashian, ahora está saliendo casualmente con un tipo normal, que resulta ser un bombón llamado Frederico.

Los dos fueron fotografiados por primera vez en público durante el fin de semana de los Oscar en el famoso Chateau Marmont de Los Ángeles.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la pareja se llevó bien después de cruzar caminos a través de amigos en común hace aproximadamente un mes, y ahora están manteniendo las cosas relajadas y viendo hacia dónde los lleva, más o menos como todo el mundo cuando está saliendo con alguien nuevo.

Nos dice que después de la separación de Lukas, Chris estaba abierto a probar algo completamente diferente y es un cambio bienvenido que no esté saliendo con alguien de Hollywood.

Aunque no está claro en qué campo trabaja Frederico, es un sabelotodo, pues nos dicen que es un graduado de Harvard, así que pueden asumir que tiene una carrera bastante sólida por delante.

¡Chris definitivamente se siente bien en esta nueva etapa y parece que Frederico está encajando bien con su círculo! Nos dicen que incluso se reunió con algunos de los amigos de Chris, que le están dando su pulgar de aprobación.

Como ya informamos, Chris puso fin a su relación con Lukas en noviembre, solo 6 meses después de su rápida boda en Las Vegas en la Little White Chapel oficiada por Kim K. Chris alegó "diferencias irreconciliables" como motivo de la ruptura. La pareja tenía un acuerdo prenupcial.

Chris y Lukas están siguiendo con sus vidas después de la separación. Lukas se metió de lleno en Hinge en enero para encontrar un nuevo amor, aunque ahora dice que está muy bien disfrutando de sí mismo.

Chris Appleton has moved on from his ex-hubby Lukas Gage ... and is now dating a new guy who has no ties to Hollywood.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the celeb hairdresser, known famously for having Kim Kardashian as his client/BFF, is now casually dating a regular dude -- who happens to be a bona fide hottie -- named Federico.

The two were first photographed in public together during Oscars weekend at L.A.'s famous Chateau Marmont.

Our sources tell us the pair hit it off after crossing paths through mutual friends about a month ago, and right now they're keeping things laid-back and just seeing where it takes them -- pretty much how everyone rolls when they're vibing with someone new.

We're told after Chris' split from Lukas, he was open to something completely different and this is a welcomed change he’s not dating someone in the Hollywood scene.

While it's unclear exactly what field Federico works in, he's a smarty pants as we're told he's a graduate of Harvard ... so one can assume he has a pretty solid gig career-wise.

Chris is definitely feeling good about moving forward, and it sounds like Federico's fitting right in with his crew -- we're told he's even met some of Chris' pals, who are giving him a thumbs up!

As we reported ... Chris called it quits with Lukas in November, just 6 months after their quickie Vegas wedding at the Little White Chapel officiated by Kim K. Chris listed "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. The couple did have a prenup.

Chris and Lukas are making moves post-split ... Lukas went all-in and hopped on Hinge in January to find new love -- but now he says he's all about dating himself.

Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend Chris Zylka is no longer engaged to actress Hailee Lautenbach ... TMZ has learned.

Hailee tells TMZ ... "Ending the engagement was the best decision I've ever made in my life." And, if that response sounds familiar to anyone -- it was nearly identical to a statement Paris dropped to Cosmo UK after she and Chris called off their own engagement in 2018.

As for when the split occurred? Sources say Hailee and Chris ended things back in January ... shortly after the duo moved to L.A. together from Portland, OR.

We're told the exes are no longer living together, which is not a given these days -- yes, we're looking at you Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix.

Their split comes almost a year and a half after Chris popped the question -- infamously without a ring -- before the Seattle marathon in 2022.

They struck up a romantic relationship after first meeting on the set for the movie "Model House" ... which awkwardly enough, is coming out on April 5. Something tells us you won't see them sitting side-by-side to promote it.

This is Chris' second attempt at heading to the altar. Remember, in January 2018, he proposed marriage to the Hilton heiress -- of course, that time he did have a ring ... a 20-carat sparkler to be exact.

The engagement was short-lived, however, as Chris and Paris called things off by November of that same year.

Paris went on to marry Carter Reum in 2021, and they've had 2 kids together.
