"Euphoria" opened its latest season with a wild storyline for Sydney Sweeney's character, Cassie ... and Sophie Rain told us it left her none too pleased.

The content creator was apparently just as taken aback as the rest of the internet seemed to be at seeing Cassie dressed in a dog outfit and doing pooch activities for money as an adult content creator.

Sophie told us she thinks it's cool the show is featuring what's clearly supposed to be OnlyFans ... but in her opinion, the show is doing it all wrong.

According to Sophie, she would never degrade herself to that extent on the website, and not only that ... she doesn't know any top creator who would.

The police are advancing their investigation into the death of Ashlee Jenae -- the content creator who died on a trip to Zanzibar earlier this month. Authorities have seized her fiancé Joe McCann's passport and are questioning him ... but only as a witness, as no arrests have been made.

As you know ... Ashlee died while on vacation with Joe, who proposed to her on the trip. The vacation was planned as Ashlee's 31st birthday celebration, which turned out to be her last.

Ashlee's family appears to have been suspicious of Joe the whole time, as they say he waited 11 whole hours to tell them about the incident ... and even then downplayed it as if Ashlee was "okay."

Clavicular’s team jumped into action as he suffered a suspected overdose during his live stream Tuesday night ... and video shows them rushing him out of a Miami restaurant to get him to the hospital.

Check out the horrifying video -- the popular streamer is in his security guard's arms as they swiftly carry him down the stairs out of the Brickell-area hotspot. He was able to get back on his feet to enter a black SUV -- but his movements were slow, and he appeared dazed.

TMZ confirmed he was taken directly to the hospital.

Alix Earle got hit with some early-morning drama this week -- courtesy of Alex Cooper -- and her reaction was anything but rattled.

The TikTok star revealed her friends woke her up “the morning after Coachella” to show her a video of Cooper calling her out … and they made sure to capture every second of it.

“Shoutout to my friends for knowing I would want this moment captured,” Earle wrote alongside the clip.

Clavicular is back home after being rushed to the hospital Tuesday night following a suspected overdose ... and he claimed his situation was so serious he was given a life support mask.

He updated concerned fans on X Wednesday morning by sharing a selfie showing red markings on his face and admitted he used substances to feel "neurotypical," leading to the scary situation.

The "looksmaxxing" influencer penned ... "Just got home, that was brutal. All of the substances are just a cope trying to feel neurotypical while being in public, but obviously that isn’t a real solution. The worst part of tonight was my face descending from the life support mask."

7:35 PM PT -- TMZ obtained the 911 dispatch audio from the incident, calling for response to the location where Clav and his pals were live-streaming Tuesday night.

In the audio, you can hear the Miami-Dade EMS dispatcher call in a "20-year-old male overdose" around 5:46 PM local time.

Clavicular’s recent livestream came to a sudden and alarming end … and TMZ has learned it may be far more serious behind the scenes.  

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ …Clavicular suffered a suspected overdose Tuesday night and has since been hospitalized. 

The stream abruptly cut off after viewers noticed something was off, sparking concern among fans in real time. 

In video from his stream posted on social media, you see Clavicular quickly start to fade ... putting his hands behind his back and over his head while friends with him ask if he needs water.

He was also filmed drinking something from a mini bottle before enterting the restaurant, though it's unclear what was in the bottle.

Details remain limited as of now. We’ve reached out for comment … so far, no word back.

Chef Croux Koplin isn’t just cooking up a storm at Coachella … he’s cashing in big time!

The private chef tells TMZ he and his tight-knit crew of six -- including another chef, an assistant and three helpers -- pulled in a sizzling $11K during the first weekend … all while bouncing between luxe desert estates and influencer-packed homes.

Croux says he locked down three separate gigs … starting with a marathon booking to cook for 15 to 17 German influencers from Wednesday through Monday across three different private homes.

Influencer Ashlee Jenae was staying in a luxury villa on an African island when she was found unconscious in her room and pronounced dead at the hospital ... and now the hotel is speaking out amid the tragedy.

Ashlee and her fiancé, Joe McCann, were shacking up at Zuri Zanzibar ... and hotel management tells us they are "deeply saddened by a tragic incident involving one of our guests."

Zuri Zanzibar management adds, "Our sincerest thoughts and sympathies go out to the family and loved ones during this painful time. We are providing our full cooperation to the local authorities and the U.S. Embassy."

Alix Earle and Alex Cooper's drama may be playing out loud now ... but TMZ has learned there's no single explosive moment behind the tension .... just a slow burn that's boiling over again.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the friction dates back to when Earle teamed up with Cooper to launch her "Hot Mess" podcast under The Unwell Network. At first, things were solid, but over time, their dynamic shifted, and the two stopped seeing eye to eye.

We're told as Earle's Unwell contract was coming to a close in February 2025, that's when the relationship really started to unravel. Our sources say Cooper and her network were not offering Earle what she felt she was worth. Our sources say it wasn't just one issue, but a combination of both business and personal disagreements that made it difficult for them to move forward together.

Ashlee Jenae's family is seeking answers after her tragic death in Tanzania, and it sounds like they will go to great lengths to figure out what happened to her ... including a possible trip to Africa for a face-to-face with officials.

The late influencer's mother, Yolanda, tells TMZ ... Ashlee’s father, Harry, went to Washington, D.C. today to meet with the U.S. Embassy and State Department.

We're told Harry wanted to go in person to see if the family could help get answers from authorities in Zanzibar, where Ashlee was traveling with her fiancé, Joe McCann, when she died.

Influencer Ashlee Jenae died during a trip to Tanzania with her fiancé, Joe McCann, earlier this month ... and police are actively investigating.

According to a local outlet, police initially believed the social media star's death was a suicide after she was found unconscious in her villa at Zuri Zanzibar ... but her family still has questions regarding the "suspicious" circumstances of her passing.

Here's a timeline of her last days:

Madelyn Cline has a hot new boo in her life -- social media star Henry Smith ... they met online and have been seeing each other for about a month now, TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... Madelyn and Henry are officially an item, confirming rumors the two have been quietly seeing each other.

Our sources say the two met through their shared presence in the online space and quickly hit it off ... and things are already going strong. In fact, they recently spent Easter together and were both spotted at Coachella this past weekend.

Ashlee Jenae's family tells us they've heard next to nothing from her fiancé Joe McCann since her tragic death in Tanzania earlier this month ... and they're looking to get their hands on surveillance video from the hotel where she was found unconscious.

Ashlee's parents -- Harry and Yolanda, and their respective partners -- sat down with TMZ's Charlie Neff and told us about their communications with Joe, or lack thereof, in the wake of Ashlee's death.

The family says Joe only reached out to them once ... 11 hours after she was taken to a hospital ... and her father says that's really strange. He says Joe assured them everything was fine, but Ashlee was ultimately pronounced dead at the hospital.

Ashlee Jenae’s family is reeling after her sudden death ... and now they’re facing a whole new reality: the financial toll of bringing her home to the States.

Her father Harry Robinson has launched a GoFundMe with a $50K goal, saying the money will go toward travel, arrangements, and mounting costs as they deal with an ongoing investigation overseas.

As we reported, Ashlee -- whose real name is Ashly Robinson -- was found unconscious at a resort villa in Tanzania and rushed to a hospital ... where she died the following day on Friday, April 10.

The Alex Cooper vs. Alix Earle drama is officially popping off ... 'cause now Alix is clapping back!

Alix kept it short and sharp, sliding into the comments of Alex’s video -- the one where Alex told her to stop hinting about their beef and just say it outright -- writing, "Okay on it!!"

Now ... that could mean anything. Maybe she’s gearing up to drop a full tell-all ... or maybe it’s a little sarcastic jab telling Alex to relax.

The man who lost his lawsuit against Kim Kardashian -- after he said her misidentification caused him emotional distress -- is begging a judge not to force him to pay the billionaire’s legal bills ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Ivan Cantu -- who was shut down in his battle with Kim over an Instagram post she made -- is fighting her request that he pay the legal fees she racked up fighting him in court.

Ivan sued Kim after she made a post on social media about a man with the same name who was convicted of murder and was sitting on death row. Kardashian was pushing for the man's execution to be put on pause.
