Feuds

Brad Pitt claims his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, is refusing to turn over her movie contracts as he challenges her claim that she put her career on ice following their 2016 separation ... and now he wants a judge to intervene ... TMZ has learned. Angelina denies Brad has a right to see the information.

Brad filed court docs claiming Angelina has been giving him the runaround on producing documents showing her income from 2017 to 2021. During the time period, Angelina starred in many projects including "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil," Marvel's "Eternals," and "Those Who Wish Me Dead."

Brad's team says they asked her to provide info on upfront fees for her film roles, brand sponsorships, and any profit participation statements from movies Angelina starred in leading up to the time when she claims she "determined that she needed to sell Chateau Miraval to achieve financial independence."

Shots fired between Megyn Kelly and Dave Portnoy ... they're locked in a social media scrap over Caitlin Clark's stance -- or lack thereof -- about transgender athletes in women's sports.

Here's the deal ... the WNBA superstar got feisty with a reporter who asked her thoughts on teammate Sophie Cunningham's controversial comments against "biological men" competing against young girls in sports. Basically, Caitlin gave a non-answer and, when pressed, told the reporter to kick rocks.

Megyn, the ultra-conservative media personality, blasted Caitlin as a "coward" for dodging the question ... and in rode Portnoy to defend CC ... saying, "Absolute moron/idiot to call Caitlin a coward for this answer. 1st of all, you don't even know how she feels on this issue and more importantly, she doesn't owe it to you or anybody else to be your political talking point."

Kelly Osbourne appears to be sending a pointed message ... just days after her ex-fiancé Sid Wilson was fired from Slipknot.

Kelly kicked off a string of cryptic Instagram Stories Monday with a blunt message ... "Wake the f*** up take some responsibility," before saying she was done putting up with the mystery subject's behavior.

"I want to be happy and I have a beautiful son to raise," she wrote. "Leave me alone. let me heal. I can’t protect you from yourself anymore."

Soulja Boy is backpedaling on wanting to fight Kai Cenat ... but if the two were to ever enter the boxing ring together, the rapper tells TMZ Sports it would be an easy victory!!

The 36-year-old artist and entrepreneur recently went to X to issue his initial callout ... apparently the result of getting snubbed from Cenat's Streamer University, a popular training experience for content creators.

Soulja unleashed on Cenat over it all ... saying, "I challenge yo short p**** ass to a boxing match weak ass n**** @KaiCenat," and some other not-so-nice things.

Molly Shannon slammed a photographer she says once called her "ugly" and says karma came for him because he runs a dog daycare now ... but he says she's full of (dog) s***!

Remember ... Molly got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in June, and told a story about how a photog called her ugly while shooting her headshots. She said karma came back around, because now he picks up dog poop for a living.

Andrew Rosenthal, owner of LA Dogworks, tells TMZ … that story's about him, and things didn't go down the way Molly says, calling her version of events "a fantasy."

He tells us ... "I am obnoxious sometimes, but I don’t see myself saying 'you’re ugly.'" He also said he doesn't remember ever shooting her.

Scott Eastwood says he was ready to whoop Shia LaBeouf's ass on the set of "Fury" ... until Brad Pitt jumped in and broke it up.

Scott revisited the tense encounter on Monday's episode of "Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard" ... saying Shia's extreme method acting had already convinced him to keep his distance.

According to Scott, Shia pulled out a tooth and cut his own face while preparing for the 2014 war movie ... leaving Clint Eastwood's son thinking, "This guy's crazy."

Things finally boiled over when Scott spit tobacco juice on the movie's tank -- something his character was specifically instructed to do in the script -- and Shia took exception.

8/2/2026 2:28 PM PST -- A spokesperson for CNN tells TMZ ... Dana Bash is a veteran journalist who conducted a newsmaking interview with Secretary Kennedy in which he stated that he supports parents getting their children vaccinated against measles and addressed President Trump’s push for further study into autism and vaccines. Asking tough, substantive questions to those in power is the job of every journalist, and Dana did hers incredibly well today. We stand behind Dana, her reporting, and CNN’s overall coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dana Bash turned CNN’s "State of the Union" into a heated debate Sunday, with the HHS secretary and the anchor clashing over COVID, vaccines, public health, and autism research.

Watch the clip, as things got tense when Bash pressed Kennedy about his criticism of Dr. Anthony Fauci and asked how he would handle a future pandemic. RFK Jr. said protecting constitutional rights would be his top priority ... arguing that one of the mistakes made during COVID was “suppressing” those rights.

Bash pushed back, saying she was asking about a public health crisis -- not a constitutional rights debate -- that’s when Kennedy fired back saying “Because you were part of the problem.”

Sen. Bernie Moreno is done biting his tongue over former son-in-law Rep. Max Miller ... publicly branding the Ohio congressman "a danger" to his daughter and calling for him to leave office.

Moreno broke his silence Sunday after Miller accused his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, of struggling with "significant mental health challenges" during a video defending himself against allegations of abuse, which he denies.

Miller said Emily's alleged struggles contributed to accusations he "firmly disputes" ... insisting he raised the issue not to embarrass her, but out of concern for the former couple's young daughter.

Kandi Burruss just tore Tamar Braxton apart following their awkward encounter in July ... bluntly stating she doesn't like Tamar one bit.

Check it out -- Kandi recounted their icy interaction at the Essence Fest's Black Women in Music ceremony last month on her "Speak On It" podcast ... saying she totally swerved Tamar's attempt to shake her hand because she's not about being fake.

The 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star lays it out crystal clear -- she isn't going to pretend to be cordial with someone who constantly talks smack about her.

Justin Baldoni's wife shared a snap of the couple's wedding day to celebrate their anniversary ... and his supporters sure seem to think she dunked on Blake Lively in the process.

Decide for yourself ... Emily Baldoni's 13th anniversary pic shows Justin lifting her up during their wedding ceremony ... with the caption, "Marriage: still my favorite lift. 😜."

Might seem innocuous to some ... but to others, it was clearly shade at Blake ... because part of her sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin included Blake's trainer claiming Justin asked about the actress' weight because he had to lift Blake up in an "It Ends With Us" scene.

The United Cajun Navy is pushing back against the ongoing debate over claims about Nolan Wells' clothing when he was found, saying the focus on the phrase "fully clothed" is taking attention away from the facts.

In a statement posted online, the United Cajun Navy said Wells was wearing only swim trunks when he was discovered and denied ever telling attorney Ben Crump or Wells' family that he was found "fully clothed."

"Did Attorney Crump lie about UCN? Yes," the organization wrote, claiming it never spoke with Crump and never provided information that Wells was found fully clothed.

Jason Alexander made amends with Courtney Stodden after she blasted him over a decade-old crude sketch they did together ... but TMZ has learned the "Seinfeld" icon did even more than apologize ... he broke out his wallet.

Our sources say Jason made a $15K donation to Unchained At Last, an organization that's leading the fight to end child marriage in the United States. Courtney is a huge supporter of the group's mission.

A rep for Jason confirmed to TMZ the actor made a donation -- but declined to add additional details about the amount we heard.

4:02 PM PT -- The other woman who Jelicia says lied is firing back. She wrote on social media, "You can't threaten me with a lawyer because you're the one who dragged me into this. I wanted nothing to do with it. You mentioned my name -- otherwise, I would have kept my mouth shut. You know you're screwed, that's why you're scared."

Soccer star Maduka Okoye's baby mama, Jelicia Westhoff, is preparing to take legal action over what she claims are fake DMs circulating online ... TMZ has learned.

A source close to Jelicia tells TMZ ... she's met with lawyers after a woman posted screenshots purporting to show an Instagram direct message conversation between them.

The alleged messages appear to show Jelicia denying Maduka ever abused her ... a sharp contrast to what she previously posted on social media, where she accused Maduka of cheating and abuse.

Courtney Stodden is satisfied with Jason Alexander's apology over an old controversial comedy sketch they performed ... and she's ready to move on with her mission, hopefully with a new ally.

Courtney tells TMZ ... she accepts and appreciates the "Seinfeld" star's mea culpa and genuinely hopes it comes from a place of reflection.

As we reported ... Jason issued an apology Tuesday after Courtney blasted him on Instagram over a 2012 "Funny or Die" sketch that was sexually charged.

Courtney said she was super uncomfortable when Jason, in character, made several jokes about her boobs and sex. She was 17 years old at the time and Jason was a writer on the show.

Aaron Rodgers' family reunion didn't start this week despite what fans may think ... 'cause TMZ has learned the Steelers QB had already reunited with his parents months before he publicly revealed they'd reconciled.

In footage obtained by TMZ from April, Aaron is seen chatting, laughing, and spending time with his mom, Darla, and dad, Ed, at the inaugural Pleasant Valley High School Athletics Hall of Fame dinner in Chico, California, where he was inducted as a member of the first-ever class.

Aaron also gave a speech during the ceremony, thanking his parents ... another sign the family's yearslong rift had already begun to heal well before anyone knew.

The timing is significant because fans only learned the Rodgers family had reunited this week after Aaron posted a series of Instagram photos featuring his parents and brother Luke, captioning the post, "Another bonding week #fam."

Jason Alexander is apologizing to Courtney Stodden after she publicly called him out over a controversial 2012 comedy sketch filmed when she was still a minor.

The "Seinfeld" star tells TMZ ... "Looking back at the comedy sketch in which Ms. Stodden and I participated in 2012, I completely agree that it was inappropriate and I truly regret it."

He continues ... "But more importantly, I am deeply sorry for any harm or distress it has caused Ms. Stodden. I offer her my sincerest apologies."
