Rumors Quentin Tarantino was killed in a missile attack in Israel are all just BS -- and TMZ has learned the film director's family is just fine!

A source close to Quentin tells TMZ … “Quentin is alive and well and his family is all good too," despite speculation on X that he was blown up during an Iranian missile attack on Israel.

Over the weekend, the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Iran, killing the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, along with other top government officials. Iran retaliated, firing ballistic missiles at Israeli and American bases around the world.

Scott Disick and his ex-girlfriend, Chloe Bartoli are back in the mix and back in each other's orbit.

The reality star was spotted Saturday night arriving at The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood alongside Bartoli, instantly reigniting chatter about their long romantic history. The two kept things relatively low-key as they stepped into the members-only hotspot on the Sunset Strip.

Scott kept things sleek in casual pants, a sweatshirt and black tee, while Chloe stunned in a black button-down mini dress paired with knee-high leather boots and a black handbag. They appeared comfortable walking in together, though there was no PDA.

Devarjaye 'DJ' Daniel -- the teenager who President Donald Trump made an honorary Secret Service agent last year -- isn't dead despite the viral speculation ... so says the young man's father.

Theodis Daniel -- DJ's father -- posted on his son's behalf ... calling the online gossip about his son's death "lies" and writing it's tantamount to bullying the young man.

Theodis writes that he hopes the clicks and monetization for people spreading the rumors on social media were worth it ... because it ruined many people's days -- with numerous reaching out to the family in tears.

The Playboy universe continues to generate controversy nearly 10 years after Hugh Hefner's passing ... because his widow Crystal Harris is firing back at 2 of Hef's former girlfriends, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt -- insisting their ongoing public criticism is fueling a wave of harassment against her.

Crystal tells TMZ ... the former 'Girls Next Door' stars have spent years building platforms painting her as the villain in the name of empowerment and accountability ... all while refusing to handle their issues privately. Instead, Crystal says, they’ve chosen to air grievances publicly.

Crystal tells us their commentary has led to her social media being flooded with gaslighting, hostile messages and even death threats ... adding that no disagreement justifies that level of mob behavior.

Pedro Pascal and Rafael Olarra have been getting close lately ... after being snapped sightseeing in NYC over the Valentine's Day weekend, we now have a shot of them sitting down to watch "Wuthering Heights."

The two took in the period romance, starring Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, while periodically chatting in the cozy theater.

Pedro and Rafa's day at the movies comes after they grabbed lunch Sunday, following a tour of the Lower East Side.

Cynthia Erivo is clearing the air after months of online speculation that she and Ariana Grande were secretly more than just Wicked co-stars.

During the press tour for Wicked, fans dissected every emotional interview as well as each lingering hug and hand hold between the two ... with some social media users insisting their bond looked romantic.

In a recent interview, Cynthia addressed what she called a "strange fascination" with their friendship, explaining that some people struggled to understand how two women could be deeply close without it turning into a love story. She made clear there was no secret relationship ... just a genuine connection forged while bringing Elphaba and Glinda to life.

Tom Brady and Alix Earle just keep crossing paths ... the NFL legend and the influencer were spotted together once again, this time hitting the dance floor at a private, pre–Super Bowl party in San Francisco.

The two were caught on video dancing and chatting at the invite-only bash Saturday night, marking their first public appearance following their recent time in St. Barths over New Year's.

Brady kept it low-key in a baseball cap and glasses, while Earle danced with a drink in one hand and her phone in the other. The vibe wasn't especially intimate, but it was clear Brady and Earle were hanging out together and enjoying the night.

François Arnaud might be choking on that "none of your f***ing business" line he tossed at Andy Cohen ... 'cause the rumors about him dating Connor Storrie are getting louder, steamier, and a lot harder to dodge!

TMZ snagged photos of the two actors settling in for a cozy dinner at the old-school, fancy Smoke House in Burbank ... and while there wasn’t full-on PDA, the energy was very much date night. Dim lighting, nonstop laughs, and that locked-in, only-you-exist vibe said plenty.

There’s no denying the chemistry here -- and if this is the real deal, François better brace himself for even more backlash from diehard "Heated Rivalry" fans who seriously struggle separating fantasy from real life. Even NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has said he is a big fan.

Kim Kardashian and F1 racing star Lewis Hamilton added more fuel to the dating rumors on Monday ... they were snapped on a romantic escapade in Paris!

The two kept things low-key as they pulled up to a hotel in the City of Light this afternoon at around 1 PM local time. In the video, you can see them arriving in an SUV with their teams.

The pair reportedly flew in together by private jet from the UK.

Ashley Tisdale looks like she's forming a new mom group with Haylie Duff ... because their families are breaking bread following the "toxic mom group" drama.

Check out these photos of Ashley and Haylie leaving an Italian restaurant in Malibu with their kiddos in tow ... no toxicity here, or so it seems.

Ashley and Haylie continuing to hang out is interesting ... their kids had a play date this week ... and it raised eyebrows because Haylie's sister, Hilary Duff, is thought to be involved in the "toxic mom group" Ashley groused about -- at least that's the online theory.

Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt are already talking next steps after welcoming their baby last month ...  and yeah, marriage is very quietly hovering in the background!

Speaking to Us Weekly, Pete said they do talk about the future -- “I think, obviously, we talk about next steps and all that stuff" -- but right now they’re fully in survival mode with 1-month-old daughter Scottie ... focused on locking in a routine and, in his words, "keeping her alive."

What is on their minds? More kids. The couple says they definitely want Scottie to be a big sister, with Elsie admitting she’s already had the "I want to do it again" feeling.

A viral video circulating online suggests late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein had a twisted relationship with JonBenét Ramsey ... but her father, John Ramsey, says it's just another example of A.I. slop.

Here's the deal ... TikTok is going wild over a viral post that claims JonBenét is in the Epstein Files. The video claims JonBenét is the little girl sitting on Epstein's shoulders in a picture framed and hung on a wall.

The photo in question is redacted in the Epstein Files, and the DOJ says it's from Epstein's pedo lair in New York City ... but a video appears to show a photo in a hallway of a girl who bears a striking resemblance to JonBenét Ramsey.

The "All the Queen's Men" cast and crew is falling apart worse than Humpty Dumpty ... show creator Christian Keyes has just been hit with a nasty legal letter -- claiming he's been defaming one of the show's stars, and warning him to take it back and apologize ... or else!

TMZ obtained a copy of a cease-and-desist letter laying out all the drama ... Skyh Alvester Black -- who plays Addiction Anthony on the BET+ drama -- hired Marty Singer's law firm to send Keyes some serious demands as Keyes' "first and last chance to avoid litigation."

This all apparently stems from a Facebook post last month where Keyes called out Black for allegedly being high as a kite on set ... and Black is pissed!

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have repeatedly insisted they're still broken up ... but these pics suggest they're still very friendly, to say the least.

The parents were spotted taking their daughter, Saga, for what we'll call a "family dinner date" Sunday night.

We're told the estranged couple was affectionate for the relaxed night out, donning sweats and sneakers while enjoying each other's company.

Ben Affleck and Brooks Nader aren't Hollywood's newest celebrity couple ... in fact, Brooks says the two have never even met!

Here's the deal ... reports surfaced earlier today claiming the actor and the model had started up a romance -- which would've marked Ben's first big relationship since divorcing Jennifer Lopez.

However, Brooks took to social media to shut down the rumors ... writing on Instagram, "Haven't met him in my life." We've also spoken to sources who confirm Nader's comment ... so, conspiracy theorists shouldn't think she's trying to run cover on some secret romance.

Jeff Coby is opening up on what it's like to date someone constantly at the center of B.S. rumors ... telling TMZ Sports the people making up nonsense are just jealous of what he and Larsa Pippen have together.

Pippen recently had to shut down a bogus report she was in a relationship with LiAngelo Ball ... which many believed, considering her dating history with younger guys in the basketball world, like Coby and Marcus Jordan.

So, we asked Coby, a former pro player, how he deals with the chatter ... and the 31-year-old made it clear he's not letting it get to him.
