As if the crime scene wasn't eerie enough with 4 slaughtered college students ... Bryan Kohberger might have left a seriously creepy imprint on a window outside the murder house that fateful night.

As we reported earlier this month ... two handprints were found on the exterior glass of the window at the Moscow, Idaho home, where Kohberger fatally stabbed the University of Idaho students in November 2022.

Police snapped a photo of the window as they processed the crime scene, releasing the pic as part of a recent document dump after the case closed.

Jillian Michaels didn't get along with every contestant on "The Biggest Loser" ... but, that doesn't mean she was handing out caffeine pills like a new documentary suggests -- so says one of the OG Losers.

We spoke with David Fioravanti -- a contestant from the first season of the show -- and, he details his contentious relationship with the fitness trainer and former coach on the show.

Fioravanti says he came into the show with a basic level of fitness knowledge ... so, he didn't follow everything Michaels said without question.

Jillian Michaels says Netflix’s "Biggest Loser" documentary isn't just full of lies -- it’s part of a long history of the franchise trying to take her down ... and she's giving TMZ all the receipts to prove it.

TMZ caught up with Jillian hot off her IG blast and lawsuit threat Tuesday, and she doubled down -- telling us the documentary paints a false picture, starting with Dr. Robert Huizenga claiming he never worked with her -- something she says is BS 'cause she's got hundreds of emails proving otherwise.

Listen to the full interview ... Jillian blasts the way the documentary twisted her role on the show, accusing Dr. H of dangerously yanking contestants off their meds cold turkey -- while she was the one stepping in to protect them.

Dr. Robert Huizenga isn’t about to let Jillian Michaels dominate the narrative -- he's firing back after she ripped him over Netflix's "The Biggest Loser" documentary ... telling TMZ her "receipts" don’t prove a thing.

Huizenga tells TMZ ... caffeine, weight-loss pills and diuretics were strictly banned from day one -- and anytime contestants claimed they were given such pills, he ordered production to shut down and launch an investigation.

He also points to the time Jillian had to give an on-air apology after being busted handing out pills to contestants to plug her own products -- saying that alone proves her caffeine claims are running on fumes.

Bryan Kohberger was once a firm believer in the death penalty ... this according to one of his fellow Ph.D. classmates.

Idaho State Police released hundreds of pages of documents last week ... including an interview with a person who was in one of Kohberger's post-grad classes at Washington State University. The woman's name is redacted.

This individual peeled back the curtain on her alleged interactions with the murderer ... telling authorities he was the only student in class who believed in the death penalty.

Drake Bell's marriage to his wife is "irretrievably broken" after 4 years together and one child ... according to the former child actor's divorce petition.

As we first reported, Bell -- who shot to stardom in Nickelodeon's "Drake and Josh" show -- filed for divorce last week in Seminole County, Florida … even though Janet Bell's already filed a 2023 divorce petition in Los Angeles County.

In his petition, Drake says their marriage is “irretrievably broken” and he plans to hammer out a settlement with Janet for "equitable distribution" of all marital assets, liabilities and child support.

Tory Lanez wasn't present at the hearing for his appeal on Monday -- but his attorney and family were front and center to vouch for his innocence!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Tory's attorney Crystal Morgan and the star rapper's uncle, Speedy ... both are optimistic the court will side with their arguments!!!

Speedy gives us his estimation of events, which pretty much mirror the accounts of Tory supporters ... saying Megan Thee Stallion and Kelsey Harris lied about the shooting that put "The Color Violet" singer behind bars for 10 years.

Jillian Michaels is coming out swinging -- telling TMZ the entire 'Biggest Loser' documentary is a giant lie ... and she’s already lawyering up.

The celeb trainer says she’s meeting today with powerhouse attorney Bryan Freedman to plot her next move -- which could include going after Netflix, the producer of the doc, Bob Harper, and Dr. Robert Huizenga in court.

Jillian isn’t stopping there either ... she points out Brandon Riegg -- the exec who bought the doc for Netflix -- was one of the top dogs at NBC during the last several seasons of "The Biggest Loser." Translation: he knew exactly what went down behind the scenes.

A Rhode Island prosecutor tried to school the police on the law ... but she got schooled herself and slapped with handcuffs for trespassing and creating a wild scene outside a restaurant with her friend, according to body cam footage.

Devon Hogan Flanagan -- a Special Assistant Attorney General -- even had the audacity to tell the arresting officer that he would "regret this" as he cuffed her and put her in the back of a patrol car.

The body cam footage, obtained by TMZ, shows Flanagan repeatedly telling the cop that she's an "AG" while being escorted in cuffs to the patrol car.

According to new court docs ... Costner says Devyn LaBella was happy as a clam during the film shoot he directed, and she even sent a text to a supervisor that she had a great time after the whole thing wrapped.

Per the docs ... LaBella texted, “Thank you for these wonderful weeks! I so appreciate you! I learned so much and thank you again. I’m really happy it worked out the way it did too. Have a great rest of the shoot and yes talk soon!”

An Indiana woman has been arrested in Washington, D.C. for making death threats against President Donald Trump on social media -- including a claim she would disembowel him.

Nathalie Rose Jones, 50, was taken into custody on Saturday after protesting outside the White House and was charged with 2 felonies, the Justice Department announced.

The U.S. Secret Service first began monitoring her social media posts when she started sharing threatening comments about 47 on Instagram between August 2 and August 9. She overlapped her Instagram threats with concerning Facebook posts on August 6 and continued sharing such messages through August 15.

The "Ketamine Queen" -- the last of 5 people charged in Matthew Perry's death -- is going away to prison, for a long time, after agreeing to plead guilty in the federal case.

Jasveen Sangha, who earned her street handle from slinging the drug in North Hollywood, struck a plea deal on 5 criminal charges -- according to the feds, she will plead guilty to 3 counts of ketamine distribution, one count of distributing ketamine resulting in death and one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises.

In exchange for her guilty plea, the feds are dropping all the other charges for which she'd been indicted.

Wendy Williams stepped out following a report of her alleged dementia and aphasia diagnosis -- and if you were hoping for a comment, forget it ... her lips were sealed!

The former talk show host was spotted leaving Nobu 57 in NYC over the weekend -- declining questions about the alleged test results but looking happy, healthy ... and, of course, fashion-forward.

Wendy was pure vibes in a sparkling glam outfit, cruising out of Nobu on her mobility scooter and handing cash to a guy asking for food -- clearly unfazed by recent reports of the diagnosis.

Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is reportedly set to play in the first few games of the NFL season while he awaits a disciplinary hearing over his role in a 2024 car crash ... and one of the accident victim's lawyers told TMZ Sports he can't believe that's an actual reality.

Marc Lenahan, the attorney representing Kathryn Kuykendall -- who sued Rice after she allegedly suffered multiple injuries when the wideout crashed his rented Lamborghini into the Uber she was in -- said his eligibility to start the year is nonsense, especially as they await a $1 million civil settlement he says they agreed to back in April.

"It makes no sense," the lawyer said.

However, KB says the four kids living essentially separate lives in different homes isn't good for their mental health ... and, he's now asking the court for primary custody to fix it.
