A'ja Wilson celebrated her new record for most points in a WNBA regular season ... by spending the day with NBA star Bam Adebayo!!

TMZ Sports obtained photos of the two basketball centers making their way downtown in Indianapolis on Thursday -- just hours after Wilson secured the single-season scoring title against the Indiana Fever.

The six-time WNBA All-Star and Miami Heat hooper were among a group of people on a stroll down Market Street ... and they appeared to be multitasking, as they had some grub in hand.

Lana Del Rey got caught in a big storm down in Louisiana ... waiting out Hurricane Francine with her rumored new flame, Jeremy Dufrene ... and seeking shelter at his home.

The "Summertime Sadness" singer was spotted at Jeremy's place this week ... at the same time Francine came roaring through the state ... and they seemed pretty comfortable with each other, hanging out on his porch.

Lana and Jeremy -- a Louisiana-based alligator tour guide -- are looking more and more like a couple ... even though they haven't gone Instagram official yet. They've also been spotted recently at Leeds Festival in the UK and a celeb wedding in NYC.

Gleb Savchenko is pumping the brakes on steamy romance rumors about his "Dancing With The Stars" partner Brooks Nader ... telling TMZ they're just friends.

The longtime dance pro tells TMZ ... while Brooks is cool and fun, he’s not into her romantically, and he’s not focused on dating anyone right now.

In case you didn't know, every season, 'DWTS' loves to play up his flirty nature, so this really isn't anything new.

Jack Antonoff is getting slammed as "disrespectful" after he put in earplugs during Katy Perry’s performance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards … 7 years after his infamous banana drama.

Here’s what went down … Katy took to the stage at the UBS Arena in New York Wednesday evening, where she performed a medley of her greatest hits before accepting the show’s coveted Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

While the consensus online was that KP killed it in her VMAs performance, one person seemed less than impressed with her act … as the music producer was caught on the audience camera slipping some noise-canceling plugs into his ears.

Sabrina Carpenter, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello lit up the VMAs with their performances ... serving up a juicy love triangle playlist that had everyone reading between the lines.

Sabrina was in her zone Wednesday night, belting out "Taste" right in front of Shawn -- awkward, as the song’s rumored to be all about him ditching her for Camila after their short-lived fling.

Shawn then followed with a performance of "Nobody Knows," with lyrics like “flying too close to the sun” -- an apparent nod to Camila’s IG bio, which reads, “long, thick black hair turned white from flying too close to the sun.”

Kick Kennedy and Ben Affleck are finding common ground ... they're both wicked pissed about the ongoing chatter over their rumored romance, which just won't go away.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s daughter was in Venice, Los Angeles Friday night when a photog asked her straight up if she was dating Ben.

It's the first time Kick's been asked about Ben directly -- but she's not jumping at the chance to set the record straight once and for all ... instead, she skirts the question entirely.

Travis Kelce's reps are on the ball when it comes to shutting down this viral Taylor Swift breakup rumor ... even enlisting legal help to tackle the drama head-on.

Here's the skinny ... an alleged "Comprehensive Media Plan" from the NFL star's reps at Full Scope Public Relations made the rounds online Tuesday night, seemingly suggesting Travis and Taylor's "Love Story" was all fabricated for press -- and that there was even a plan to break up on September 28.

It didn't take long for the one-sheet to go viral online ... especially since so many Swifties believe the pop star has finally found "The One" with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.

Ben Affleck is letting the ongoing chatter about his personal life get to him ... and is particularly frustrated with one rumor -- involving Kick Kennedy -- that just won't die.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Ben finds the narrative that he’s dating -- or even friends with -- Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s daughter ludicrous and crazy.

Remember, after Ben's estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez, filed for divorce on the 2-year anniversary of their lavish wedding ceremony in Georgia ... fans moved quickly to try and romantically link the actor to someone new.

LeVar Burton is defending space exploration, Angelina Jolie is not dating anyone, and Kyren Williams is previewing the upcoming NFL season ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Babcock break down LeVar's position on space ... now that we're dealing with an astronaut emergency up there.

Selena Gomez’s engagement rumors with Benny Blanco are really cranking up ... with recent photos totally stoking the flames.

Take a good look at these pics taken in L.A. on Thursday ... Selena is just taking a casual stroll ... but a closer peek reveals she's rocking a gold ring on none other than her engagement finger!

Selena’s not exactly parading the ring in everyone's face ... and you could argue she thought it would be hidden while juggling her glasses, phone and bag of chips. But, at the end of the day ... a ring is visible on that finger, and it's making us all wonder.

Angelina Jolie is single as a dollar bill ... she's not dating British rapper, author and activist Akala ... despite speculation the two are an item.

Angelina and Akala were photographed together this week in Italy -- she's there for the Venice Film Festival -- leading to renewed rumors of a romance with Akala.

Sources close to Angelina and Akala tell TMZ ... they are NOT dating and are just friends.

Ben Affleck ain't rushing into a new fling right after his public divorce from Jennifer Lopez -- despite buzz about him hanging out with RFK Jr.’s daughter, Kick Kennedy.

Sources tell TMZ there's no romance brewing between Ben and Kick, despite their recent sightings together ... adding they're not dating and are definitely not a couple.

It's unclear how long Ben and Kick have known each other ... but we're told they’re just buddies, and Kick thinks highly of Ben -- and that’s literally it -- no secret romance here!

Aaron Rodgers is opening up on his decision more than a decade ago to set the record straight on his sexuality ... saying he was frustrated the rumor was "meant to shame the idea of being gay."

The New York Jets quarterback famously proclaimed he "really, really" liked women amid speculation surrounding his dating life when he was a member of the Green Bay Packers back in 2013 ... and in Ian O'Connor's new biography, "Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers," he explained why he addressed the claims.

"I think I was upset at the framing [of the rumor] because it was meant to shame the idea of being gay, and I have so many friends that are gay in the community," the four-time MVP said.

Selena Gomez seems like she's sending another sign she's engaged to Benny Blanco ... because she's now following a wedding planning agency on social media.

One of Selena's fans noticed the "Only Murders in the Building" star was following CMG earlier this week -- and now there's a whole bunch of TikTok clips speculating Selena and BB are engaged.

Blake Lively's "It Ends With Us" costar Brandon Sklenar is coming to her defense ... slamming the ongoing gossip about the actress, which has painted her in a negative light.

Brandon addressed the drama Tuesday head on, calling for a ceasefire in the "vilifying" narrative against Blake, "It Ends With Us" author Colleen Hoover, and other women in the cast.

As Brandon put it ... hating on the women of "It Ends With Us" defeats the purpose of the film, which features Blake's character, Lily Bloom, navigating an abusive relationship.

Barry Keoghan is making it clear the gossip about him splitting from GF Sabrina Carpenter is a bunch of "Nonsense" ... by showing his lady some love online.

Fans began speculating about the couple's relationship after an online report Friday claiming they'd called it quits. However, the Irish actor subtly shut down the rumor by taking to Instagram and hitting "like" on the pop star's latest sultry upload ... where she wore a baby-blue crop top, underwear, garter and heels.

Alongside the image, SC promoted her upcoming album, "Short n’ Sweet" ... which Sabrina revealed will also include a bonus track on the vinyl edition.
