Gossip / Rumors

Justin and Hailey Bieber aren't sitting at home reading all the chatter regarding Selena Gomez's wedding online ... they're staying busy this weekend -- getting errands done and seemingly making big deals!

The singer-songwriter and his model wife stepped out separately Friday afternoon -- the day before Selena officially tied the knot with Benny Blanco -- with Hailey heading over for a quick trip to the DMV.

Hailey looked stylish in a gray coat and black pants ... donning a pair of superstar sunglasses as she strode into the Santa Monica locale.

Armie Hammer's back out in the world after multiple years as persona non grata in Hollywood ... grabbing lunch with a woman and walking through a farmer's market after.

Hammer and this mystery woman were spotted in Westwood -- a neighborhood in West Los Angeles -- leaving a sushi joint Thursday afternoon.

The two dressed casually ... Hammer in a black t-shirt and matching jeans while his companion added a splash of color in a bright red jacket and blue jeans.

Cardi B is denying the years-long rumor that she's an industry operation meant to disrupt the hip hop status quo ... especially considering she infamously encroached on Nicki Minaj's hip hop reign.

The "I Like It" superstar addressed the rumor on Wednesday's "Call Her Daddy" episode, saying she was "destined" to be a famous rapper -- and no one signed her to take down someone else.

She never mentioned Nicki's name, but her meaning was clear ... the gossip has been swirling for years, ever since Ye claimed in a leaked clip that she was "a plant by the Illuminati" who replaced Nicki on purpose.

Lexi Wood is still brushing off the buzz on those Drake dating rumors ... continuing to double down on not exactly confirming anything, but definitely not denying that there ever was a connection either.

TMZ caught up with the Canadian model, and when asked point-blank about her relationship with the "Certified Lover Boy," Lexi plays coy and tells us he's a "lovely person" and she's "very lucky to know him."

This all started when Jesse Solomon -- Lexi's ex from hit reality show "Summer House" -- started the rumor back in April that Drake is allegedly one of Lexi’s exes ... though he did not clarify what “dating” meant for the pair specifically.

Zac Efron and Nina Dobrev were spotted looking pretty chummy with each other this week ... getting close as they chatted on a yacht during their sun-soaked getaway with friends in Sardinia.

Check out the pics ... the actors appeared comfortable with each other -- standing quite close -- as they let out a laugh while their vessel sailed into Porto Cervo at sunset.

It wasn't all fun and games ... earlier in the day, Nina looked somber as she was comforted by her friend Keleigh Sperry on the upper deck, Zac nowhere in sight.

Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade look like they may be back on again ... at least based on what's happening at his "Frankenstein" movie premiere.

The on-again, off-again couple was spotted together Monday at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Photos circulating on social media show Jacob and Olivia walking together on their way into the Princess of Wales Theater, where Jacob's new flick is being shown for the first time.

Vanessa Bryant is nipping yet another baseless rumor in the bud -- denying she's pregnant by downing a few drinks at the US Open.

Kobe's widow made the statement on Instagram ... showing a photo of her sipping the tournament's signature honey deuce cocktail while enjoying the weekend's action with her daughters, Capri and Bianka.

"Enjoying my honey deuce," Bryant said.

Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski are leaning into rumors they might be an item ... because they were snapped hanging out and having drinks in New York City Friday night.

TMZ obtained a photo of the famous actor and the sexy model seated in a booth at the Waverly Inn in the West Village -- and the two look pretty cozy with their cocktails in front of them.

We're told Emily sipped a martini while Austin drank an old-fashioned, but they skipped grabbing a bite at the restaurant, according to our sources.

Donald Trump's clearly in good spirits despite recent gossip of his impending death ... cracking jokes about the unfounded rumors during a recent tech dinner.

POTUS and First Lady Melania Trump held a dinner at the White House on Thursday for a group of tech giants, including Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, tech investor David Sacks, Apple CEO Tim Cook and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

Before the dinner kicked off, the prez said a few words ... complimenting the press on how nice they've been lately before adding "although I'm still here" -- which earned a few chuckles from his honored guests.

Rumors and reports that Kris Jenner and Corey Gamble are headed toward splitsville are so ridiculous ... the couple finds it laughable.

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... Kris and Corey are happy and going stronger than ever ... and they have no idea where the rumors started or why some outlets ran with it.

This major update comes after the rumor of a breakup on the horizon spread on social media like wildfire ... with some claiming that Corey is even looking to get some Benjamins from Kris on his way out.

Austin Butler is 2 for 2 in the dating rumor department ... TikTok star Haleyybaylee is shutting down gossip she's hooking up with the actor, TMZ has learned.

ICYMI ... chatter started spreading about a possible connection between Austin and Haley -- real name Haley Kalil -- when a TikTok video appeared to catch the two enjoying a meal together this week.

However, a rep for Haley tells TMZ ... despite the online speculation, the woman in the now-viral video is NOT Haley ... it's obvious given the fact Haley has red hair, not brown, which the other woman sports in the footage.

Cardi B made a grand fashion statement as she arrived in court today ... she's the gift that keeps on giving unforgettable testimony!!!

We caught Cardi heading into court in Alhambra, California -- just east of L.A. -- dripped down in a bold black-and-white polka dot dress combo, which she accented with a big red bow Tuesday morning.

The "Imaginary Playerz" rapper hopped out and made sure her hair and outfit were straight, and then slowly made her way to the courthouse steps with the assistance of her bodyguard and manager, Shawn Holiday.

Drake and Bobbi Althoff patched up the holes in their relationship and are back in bed together ... for another riveting podcast that found Tyga, Rick Ross and even Kendrick Lamar being tossed under the bus!!!

If you remember, Drake was the star guest for Bobbi's breakout podcast 2 years ago, but rumors of her cheating on her husband at the time with Champagne Papi created a whirlwind effect ... including the podcast being removed from YouTube without explanation.

Bobbi tackled one of the rumors -- specifically Drake's playing of a Tyga song got the podcast taken down -- which created a domino effect of Drake teasing Bobbi over their suspected relationship.

Howard Stern’s keeping his lips sealed for a bit longer -- his SiriusXM comeback got yanked today, so those cancellation rumors? You’ll just have to sit tight until next week!

"The Howard Stern Show" teased fans Tuesday ... posting that Howard won’t speak out until Monday, Sept. 8 ... even slapping an X over today’s date and telling everyone to "stay tuned."

With his $100-million-per-year, 5-year SiriusXM deal set to expire at the end of 2025, Stern already tried to get ahead of the cancellation chatter last month ... dropping a promo that totally leaned into the drama.

President Trump is putting to bed any rumors of his demise, the only way he knows how ... with a SLEDGEHAMMER!

47 jumped on Truth Social Sunday and blasted out a one-liner in all caps, responding to someone talking about Trump's recent death rumors by saying ... "NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE."

On Friday, people online were singing a much different tune. Conspiracy theorists speculated that Trump was headed to his grave due to health concerns, citing past photos of his bruised hands and swollen ankles.

Donald Trump looks alive and well ... this after ridiculous online rumors have been circling about his current status -- and even questioning if he's alive.

The prez was seen boarding his motorcade on the South Lawn of the White House Saturday morning with his granddaughter, Kai, as they headed to Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.

The two look geared up for a morning of golf ... with Donald rocking a MAGA hat and polo, while Kai wears a black long-sleeve shirt and matching cap.
