Sometimes celebs just want a shortcut to a killer hairdo -- and they’re not afraid to throw on a wig to make it happen -- which is exactly why we’re celebrating International Wig Day!

Stars like Anastasia Karanikolaou and Victoria Justice have rocked some seriously bold, colorful wigs -- and even Ed Westwick got in on the hair-raising fun.

Addison Rae also went full glam in a pink wig while trying out a shorter look ... and Meredith Duxbury jumped into the mix with a bright blue one.

Plenty of other stars have embraced the wig life too -- including Olivia Rodrigo, Lil Nas X, Dove Cameron and more.

The folks who authorities say supplied TikTok star Cooper Noriega with the illicit drugs that ended up with his fatal overdose cut plea deals after being criminally charged in connection with his death ... and the feds want them to spend many years behind bars.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Erick Estrada, the California man prosecutors allege supplied the fentanyl-laced oxycodone that killed Cooper, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances resulting in death and one count of distribution of fentanyl resulting in death.

Prosecutors are asking the judge to sentence Estrada to 30 years in prison plus 5 years of supervised release ... saying he "operated in essence a DoorDash for drugs," which killed Cooper and another person.

Benny Blanco’s feet have stomped their way into the headlines -- and now one influencer brand thinks it’s time he cashes in on the hype ... and they wanna step up to the plate and help him!

In a letter to Benny that was obtained by TMZ, The Circle -- an ultra-exclusive membership club for top creators -- is urging him to join so they can help launch a foot-focused subscription account built around his now-infamous dusty toes.

Their pitch? Pretty slick. They say they’ll hook him up with filming strategy, camera angles and even "foot cam" style content to make his toe-centric posts look polished and engaging.

Anwar Hadid -- the brother of Gigi and Bella Hadid -- claims a woman he blocked online escalated from persistent social media messages to allegedly standing inside his bedroom while he slept ... TMZ has learned.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, the model filed for a temporary restraining order, claiming the woman has engaged in a "knowing and willful course of conduct" directed at him since at least December 31, 2023.

According to the filing, things began with unwanted online contact. Anwar claims that after he blocked her, the woman created new Instagram accounts throughout 2024 and 2025 to continue messaging him.

Former "Call Her Daddy" cohost Sofia Franklyn is dropping a new memoir ... and while spilling plenty of tea about her life, she says the writing process jogged her own memory in a pretty wild way.

In a Q&A about her upcoming book "Daddy Issues" Sofia revealed she wrote about a time she she’d smoked crack ... only to realize as she was processing the memory, it had actually been methamphetamine.

According to Sofia, once she really started digging into the memory while writing, the details clicked and she realized she’d gotten the drug wrong all along.

Thirsty Thursday comin' in HOT!!! Can you guess which Hollywood babe was catchin' rays with her bod on display!?!

TikToker Riziki Ilenre's death has been ruled as a suicide, TMZ has learned.

The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences has determined the 27-year-old died by hanging herself from a ceiling fan ... and was found during a welfare check.

She had a documented history of depression and past suicide attempts, the department said in an official investigation report.

TMZ previously confirmed with the Montgomery Police Department ... they were investigating her Dec. 12, 2025 death.

Kylie Jenner might be staging an intervention for her brand Sprinter ... because it seems she's trading vodka seltzers for nutritional shakes in the company's portfolio.

Here's the deal ... after fans began to speculate Jenner was breaking up with the brand -- which launched almost exactly 2 years ago -- the mogul came out and posted the brand's logo onto her Instagram story, writing, "We've been working honey." The company then scrubbed their social media.

Kylie doubled down on the mystery by dropping a video of her hand pouring a powdered substance into a water bottle and tagging Sprinter's account.

While Kylie hasn't officially said what she's doing with the brand ... we did some snooping and found the company has filed for a ton of trademarks in the last few weeks.

Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme ... stop what you're doing, it's guessing-game time!!!

Here's a chilling sight that literally could’ve happened to anyone ... a man narrowly avoided being crushed to death when a rogue elevator suddenly shot upward the moment he stepped out!

Check out this wild CCTV footage from Gujarat Housing Board residential complex in Valsad, India on Tuesday -- Vatsalbhai Panchal was seen stepping out of the elevator as the doors opened ... but in the blink of an eye it smoothly surged upward without warning, nearly shearing the man in half.

The movement was so sudden it sent him crashing to the ground below. Somehow, he narrowly avoided getting pinned between the rising elevator platform and the ceiling of the floor he arrived on -- a split-second difference that almost certainly would’ve been fatal.

Michael Phillips -- the man who claims he has the world's smallest dong -- says he's sent unsolicited photos of his micropenis to women ... but he says it's not what you think ... and he's apologetic.

Michael tells TMZ ... he's sent the unsolicited nudes for dating purposes, to let women know upfront what he's working with ... kind of like a warning so they don't waste their time if they're not interested in his ... shortcomings.

There's a viral video in particular with a woman claiming Michael sent her an unsolicited penis pic ... and he says that's mostly accurate ... with a few caveats.
