Kim Zolciak's in a serious relationship -- her first since splitting from Kroy Biermann -- though it's not without its own drama ... 'cause she's dating the guy whose estranged wife subpoenaed her in their own $100 million divorce proceedings.

Here's the deal ... a woman named Jillian Green sent legal documents to Kim calling on her to provide a deposition in her divorce case with Kyle Mowitz -- requesting communications between them, and other information.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Kim and Kyle are an item, which explains her connection to the divorcing couple.

Bryan Kohberger's senseless murder of four college students in Idaho back in 2022 shocked the country. His sister Amanda nearly played a role in what would have been her brother's trial -- which was nixed after he took a plea deal and admitted to his crimes.

We're going to take a look into the background of the murderer's sibling and see how she nearly became involved with his case.

Amanda apparently pursued a career as an actress back in the day, and she appeared in a low-budget thriller feature, "Two Days Back," which was released in 2011.

The movie plot is about a character who joins several environmentalist students on a trip to investigate illegal logging before stumbling onto a cabin with connections to her past. The flick didn't ever appear to drum up much attention, and it holds a 3.9/10 rating on IMDb.

Amanda appeared to give up acting following the release of "Two Days Back," and she eventually began working as a school counselor, according to CBS News.

In 2023, a statement was issued on behalf of the entire Kohberger family following Bryan's arrest.

FYI ... the now-convicted murderer was arrested at his parents' home in eastern Pennsylvania on December 30, 2022 on suspicion of killing the four college students in Moscow, Idaho.

A statement was subsequently released by Jason A. LaBar, who previously served as Bryan's counsel, and Kohberger's family -- including Amanda -- pledged to "love and support" him throughout the trial.

The Kohbergers also expressed their sympathies to the families of the murdered students and said they would "let the legal process unfold."

Although Amanda didn't have much involvement with Bryan's case, there was a chance she could have -- because she was included on the prosecutor's witness list.

The convicted murderer's sister would have been called to testify about her brother, but he ended up copping a plea deal, which got him out of a formal trial ... in exchange for pleading guilty and being sentenced to four consecutive terms of life in prison without parole.

Florida Congressman Cory Mills has been hit with a restraining order after his ex-girlfriend, Lindsey Langston, claimed he'd threatened to release her sex tapes.

A judge said evidence of the Republican representative's activities supported Langston's claims about Mills' actions causing her "emotional distress," according to Politico.

The judge's restraining order expires in January 2026. Mills represents a district northeast of Orlando, according to The New York Times.

Mills and Langston, who was crowned Miss United States in 2024, reportedly started seeing each other in 2021, and he claimed she'd later sent him explicit videos of herself.

The pair's relationship apparently ended in February this year, after police responded to a report of an alleged assault against an unnamed woman in Washington -- Politico reports Mills and the woman both denied an assault took place. He was not charged.

Langston filed a police report in July claiming Mills had repeatedly contacted her after their split. He'd allegedly threatened to release explicit content she'd made, and ignored her requests to cease contact, according to the New York Post.

LAPD's sitting on a potential goldmine in the D4vd investigation ... surveillance videos from the singer's Hollywood Hills rental home that could reveal whether Celeste Rivas was there prior to her mysterious death.

TMZ has learned cops seized all the footage from multiple security cameras at the house last month while executing a search warrant. The owner of the house, Malden Trifunovic, tells us the external cameras would show anyone who went in or out of the house ... so, the footage could help cops track Celeste's movements leading up to her demise.

Malden says he hasn't seen any of the footage himself, because he intentionally did not have access to the cameras, to allow his renters privacy -- so, he has no idea if Celeste was ever in the house. He says he's asked LAPD for a copy of the warrant and an itemized list of what was seized from the house, but has not gotten a response.

Charlie Sheen’s dropping another bombshell ... saying he recently came clean about having sex with men in a bid to set the record straight and silence the rumors -- and extortion -- that chased him for years.

In a new interview, Charlie said he was done hiding and realized owning up to hooking up with men isn't such a bad thing ... after all, it puts him in the same league as icons Richard Pryor and Marlon Brando, who were both openly bisexual.

Charlie told The Times of London that’s some pretty great company to be in ... before getting real about what it felt like hiding parts of himself, always worrying about the next phone call or knock at the door.

Diddy received a 50-month prison sentence just a couple weeks ago ... and we now know the special conditions he'll be facing when he gets out and begins his 5 years of supervised release -- they're chock full of continued treatment for his issues.

The fallen mogul's special conditions of supervision were filed as part of the judgment in his criminal case Wednesday ... and, they include some pretty standard fare -- Diddy must submit to searches, and he can't contact the victims in this case for any reason.

Tyrese Gibson's neighbor is lawyering up ... after the actor's dogs allegedly mauled and killed his pooch.

Ellen Greenberg's parents are demanding answers after a medical examiner reconfirmed their daughter died by suicide back in 2011 ... claiming the M.E. doesn't know a thing about Ellen's mental state at the time.

Sandee and Josh Greenberg sat for an interview with ABC News Wednesday ... and, they told the outlet they still aren't convinced of Ellen's official cause of death.

Sandee claims from a "clinical view" there's no evidence Ellen took her own life ... questioning the medical examiner's credibility when it comes to pointing to Ellen's mental health state at the time ... since the M.E. didn't actually know her.

10:03 AM PST -- Belton police tell TMZ … Rudy Youngblood was arrested Tuesday after an officer stopped to talk to the owner of a vehicle parked near a Lake Belton boat ramp at about 12:20 AM.

During the stop, it was discovered the Travis County Sheriff’s Office had a warrant out for his arrest for assaulting a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation.

Furthermore, a white crystalline substance was located on the actor during the arrest, police say. He is still in Bell County Jail with additional charges pending the lab results.

Actor Rudy Youngblood -- best known for his role in Mel Gibson's Oscar-nominated film "Apocalypto" -- has been arrested for allegedly launching a violent attack on someone close to him, according to police.

Rudy was arrested by Belton police officers in Texas early Tuesday morning ... after he allegedly assaulted a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation, cops said.

He's being held at the Bell County Jail on a $20,000 bond.

Vice President JD Vance is not very bothered by a report detailing a recently revealed group chat featuring vicious racist and misogynistic comments exchanged by young Republican leaders from across the country

Here's what went down ... messages from a Telegram chat written by various individuals associated with Young Republican clubs and groups were leaked to Politico and published Tuesday.

The chat was filled to the brim with racial slurs, comments admiring Adolf Hitler and the use of gas chambers, threats of violence against political opponents, and jokes about sexual assault.

The backlash to the leaked chat was immediate, and the National Young Republicans board of directors called for everyone in the chat to "immediately resign" from the organization, according to Politico.

Vance downplayed the content of the chat on X later Tuesday, and said the comments aren't as bad as texts allegedly sent by Jay Jones -- currently the Democratic nominee for state attorney general in Virginia -- in 2022.
