Fairly Legal

"Last Comic Standing" finalist Rebecca Corry is not joking about animal rights in Los Angeles ... her nonprofit just sued the city, the cops, and Mayor Karen Bass, among others ... over the unethical treatment of animals in city shelters and on downtown's Skid Row.

All jokes aside ... Corry isn't just a comedian, she's also an animal activist and founder of the Stand Up For Pits Foundation, which dedicates itself to saving the lives of pit bull-type dogs.

In the new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the foundation is suing Bass, the LAPD, Los Angeles Animal Services, L.A. Animal Services Manager Annette Ramirez, and the City of Los Angeles -- claiming they're all to blame for not following the law in caring for stray animals, and causing widespread animal suffering.

The man the prosecutors say shot two National Guard members last week in Washington D.C., killing one of them, is pleading not guilty to the charges against him ... doing so from his hospital bed.

Lakanwal appeared in court virtually from his hospital bed and pleaded not guilty.

Lindsay Lohan may be revealing the secret to her epic comeback ... sweet treats and electronic cigarettes?!?

The "Freakier Friday" star puffed on a vape and scarfed down some ice cream Monday during a family outing in Miami. It's quite the combo, and it seems it's doing the trick for Lindsay.

Check out the photos ... Lindsay's got a blue vape pen up to her lips in one snap, and in another she's got a small cup of ice cream. Seems Lindsay is a single scoop gal.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's had a rough couple of years, and it looks like things are only getting tougher for the man formerly known as Prince Andrew ... because he likely won't have a payday after leaving the Royal Lodge.

The brother of King Charles was tentatively set to receive upwards of £488,000 -- about $644,000 USD -- upon his early eviction from the property he called home for over two decades, reports CNN.

According to the Crown Estate, cash will only go to Andrew if “no end-of-tenancy repairs or dilapidations are required.”

Andrew paid £1 million for the Royal Lodge in 2003 for a 75-year lease on the property. He's expected to foot the bill for any refurbishing or maintenance of the grounds.

Of course Andrew's not out on the streets ... he'll be moving to Sandringham, located roughly 100 miles north of London, and his accommodation will be funded by King Charles.

Andrew's ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson -- who also resided at the Royal Lodge -- is going to have to find her own place.

Canadian filmmaker Bryan Michael Stoller, a longtime friend of Michael Jackson's, hasn't seen the upcoming biopic "Michael" ... but he tells TMZ he's got high expectations.

When we ran into Bryan in Studio City Monday, he told us he's only seen the trailer for the movie like everyone else ... but he already has a strong intuition for how his late pal would have accepted the film.

Bryan said having Michael's nephew Jaafar Jackson play him would have been enough to win him over.

Michael and Susan Dell have committed to donating a whopping $6.25 billion to encourage parents of American children under 10 years old to take advantage of so-called "Trump accounts."

The billionaires revealed their big plan Tuesday. Their contribution will reportedly result in an extra $250 being seeded to each child's "Trump account," according to CNBC.

Here's the deal ... there's a new federal program allowing parents to open tax-advantaged investment accounts for kids under 18 -- provided they have Social Security numbers. United States children born anytime from the beginning of 2025 to the end of 2028 will automatically receive a federal grant of $1,000 for the accounts -- if their parents open a "Trump account," beginning July 4, 2026.

Liberace’s old L.A. pad is back on the market after 22 years -- and it’s asking a flashy $3,195,000 ... a price tag that definitely reflects that iconic piano-shaped pool!

The Mid-Century Modern estate is a legit slice of Los Angeles history ... sitting on a sprawling 17,800-square-foot lot and featuring the world-famous pool, the ultimate symbol of Liberace’s over-the-top legacy.

Following Rosé and Bruno Mars' lead: Kendrick Lamar and SZA's "luther" at No. 2 ... Lady Gaga and Bruno -- yet again -- landed 3rd with their song, "Die With A Smile."

Apple competitor Spotify will also drop its "2025 Wrapped" ... and one of the teasers is believed to hint at Rosé -- or potentially Blackpink as a whole -- performing big over the past 12 months.

Is "APT." the song of the year?!

It's Britney Spears' birthday, and we're celebrating by taking a look back at some of her hottest moments throughout a career that's never lacked talent or drama.

Britney's 44 years old today, and she's been playing up the sex appeal for a few decades now ... so there's no shortage of hot shots for folks to enjoy. Trust us on this one.

The singer likes to basically bare all for social media these days, but there's nothing like taking a stroll down memory lane and looking back at Britney's glory days, when she was the biggest celebrity in the world.

There's a LOT on the line when Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua enter the boxing ring in 17 days -- not only is El Gallo hoping to pull off the unthinkable and beat a former heavyweight champion ... but one very famous bettor is looking to cash in BIG on an upset.

TMZ Sports is told ... former Sony Pictures head Jon Peters is all-in on the YouTuber-turned-fighter's chances against A.J. on Dec. 19 -- to the tune of a whopping $5 MILLION wager.

So ... why all the confidence in the Disney kid?? We're told Peters and Paul recently had a lengthy chat about the bout ... and the film producer (with flicks like "Flashdance," "A Star Is Born," and "Batman" to his name) was fully convinced.

Boxing star Chris Eubank Jr. just posted an alarming video on Instagram ... revealing weeks after his fight that he's been dealing with health issues for quite some time.

In the video, it appears Eubank is under anesthesia as the medical team prepares for an examination.

Kelly Rizzo fell head-over-heels for her late-husband Bob Saget ... but it wasn't love at first sight -- she says she initially hated the fact he slid into her DMs.

The TV host told Jack Osbourne how they got together on his "Trying Not To Die" podcast ... she explained, "He saw me on Raya, but I didn't see him."

Evidently, Bob figured since Kelly was a Chicago media personality, his friend in Chicago radio might know her. His hunch was correct, and his friend reached out to Kelly, letting her know Bob was going to DM her.
