Check it out for yourself ... Victoria seems adamant if her boy publicly criticizes Trump over his recent strike against Iran, Matt's gonna lose the MAGA fan base. Victoria also scoffs at the idea of Matt going back to practicing law. She warns him ... "Let's not mess up this media gig."

Sources close to the O'Keefe family tell TMZ ... Read’s supporters have been driving by the family’s home in Canton, MA -- where John’s parents and the niece and nephew he was raising still live -- snapping photos, leaving things at the door and, in one case, even busting out a celebratory dance.

As you can see, the woman was caught on security footage dancing in the street right outside the O’Keefe home early Monday morning -- bold move, to say the least.

Amid rumors about his relationship with Katy Perry hitting a rough patch, Orlando Bloom is playing it cool -- and making sure to show up and show face for her in Australia.

The actor was spotted in Perth on Sunday, strolling with their daughter Daisy Dove perched on his shoulders -- surrounded by a crowd, looking carefree and soaking in the sights.

Karen Read's acquittal on murder and manslaughter charges caused uproarious applause in the streets ... but, two Massachusetts families aren't cheering -- because the public scrutiny from this retrial has "dehumanized" them.

The Albert family and the McCabe family -- friends of deceased Boston cop John O'Keefe, who Read's attorneys painted as murderers in the alternate theory they presented during trial -- sat down for an interview on "Nightline" ... their first public interview since O'Keefe was killed in January 2022.

In the interview, Christopher Albert said the five of them -- his brother Brian Albert, sister-in-law Nicole Albert, her sister Jennifer McCabe, and Jennifer's husband Matt McCabe -- have been turned into caricatures ... big bad villains instead of real people.

Ciara's finally breaking her silence on that old Rihanna drama ... and surprise, surprise, the beef's cooked -- 'cause it looks like they’re cool again.

The singer kept it cute on 'Watch What Happens Live,' saying, "CiCi got a lot of love for RiRi" -- and made it clear the two have moved on from the petty stuff ... all because they've got other responsibilities -- such as motherhood.

Ciara said the drama started back in 2011 when they were basically babies -- now they’re full-blown mamas. RiRi’s got boys and another baby on the way ... Ciara's got four kids, and it’s all love now. One good convo and the past got left behind.

Miley Cyrus is spilling some "Hannah Montana" tea -- and one core memory with dear ol' dad Billy Ray still has her laughing ... and maybe cringing just a little.

Chatting with mom Tish and sis Brandi on their 'Sorry We’re Cyrus' podcast, Miley recalled one unforgettable moment -- everyone on the show thought she was smoking pot, when it was actually Billy Ray! She says it’s hilarious now ... though at the time? Probably not so much.

Tish definitely remembered the chaos ... saying folks from the show kept calling her, telling her Billy Ray was lighting it up. But Mama Cyrus refused to believe it, insisting he'd never do that.

The tragic death of Whitney Purvis' son has sparked a bitter war of words between her and her ex-boyfriend, the boy's father -- with Whitney now claiming her child’s death could have been avoided entirely ... but her ex is calling BS.

In a lengthy Facebook post Wednesday, Purvis accused her ex-boyfriend Weston Gosa of neglect and financial irresponsibility, alleging their son, Weston Jr., lacked proper medical care despite suffering from serious conditions like diabetes, Addison’s disease, and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

In her Facebook post, Whitney writes, "Tell me if this makes sense. My son had no medical insurance, but had a life insurance policy. His dad bought five cars in the last six months but couldn’t pay for medical insurance."

Whitney Purvis is breaking her silence after being denied entry to her son’s funeral over the weekend -- claiming she was intentionally kept out and is now setting the record straight.

The former "16 and Pregnant" star opened up about the devastating experience in a Facebook post Wednesday, saying she’s stayed quiet for years as her ex, Weston Gosa, and his wife, Amy, allegedly spread false narratives about her -- but she won’t stay silent any longer.

Whitney claims she was told her 16-year-old son Weston Jr.'s funeral would begin at 4 PM on Saturday, but when she arrived with her family and friends, they were blocked from entering the Georgia chapel because their names weren’t on the guest list. She claims she has witnesses who heard funeral home personnel say she wasn't on the list. She says it didn’t matter what time she showed up -- she wasn’t getting in.

R. Kelly should absolutely not be pardoned -- 'cause one of his alleged victims, Joycelyn Savage, has been missing for years and is still believed to be in his grip and under his control, her family’s attorney tells TMZ.

Gerald Griggs -- attorney for Joycelyn’s family -- tells TMZ they’re slamming Kelly’s push for a Trump pardon ... insisting the singer still has a grip on Joycelyn, who they haven’t heard from since a short phone call back in 2019.

Watch the video ... Joycelyn's family has only heard from individuals claiming to represent her -- though it's unclear in what capacity. ICYDK, Joycelyn is R. Kelly's one-time fiancée, who many say is a victim. Her family believes she’s alive, hopes she’s healthy, and says they’d love nothing more than to hear from her directly.

Coi Leray announced the birth of her and Trippie Redd's daughter on Tuesday -- a joyous occasion for Benzino ... who is now a grandfather for the first time!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Benzino fresh off the announcement, and he's already daydreaming up the spoils he'll have for his granddaughter Miyoco, which means "beautiful child" or "blessed descendant" in Japanese.

Benzino named Coi after the elegant Japanese fish, but with a "C," and he loves how she's carrying on the tradition and is feeling the blessings ... his son will make him a 2x grandfather in August with a baby boy!!!

Machine Gun Kelly is giving the people what they want -- finally dropping the name of his baby girl with ex Megan Fox ... and as you'd expect, it’s not your average playground pick.

In a Tuesday IG vid, MGK gave fans a tender daddy-daughter moment -- strumming a soft tune on his ukulele while his baby girl (mostly out of frame) listened in -- but the real showstopper was the caption: "Saga Blade Fox-Baker ❤️‍🔥."

MGK was definitely all kinds of proud with the bold name choice -- and he even shut off comments on the post … 'cause when you name your kid Saga Blade, you don’t need anyone else’s two cents.
