Joe Manganiello is officially off the market ... he's engaged to longtime girlfriend Caitlin O'Connor, TMZ has confirmed.

Sources close to the couple tell us ... the two are engaged and are excited for this next chapter in their lives. We're told, Joe announced Caitlin as his fiancée at the San Diego Film Festival during his speech last night. He thanked his betrothed for her love and support while accepting his Career Spotlight award.

Brian McKnight is already declaring a victory in his defamation case against ex-wife Julie McKnight ... after she didn't appear in court.

Brian filed a motion for default judgment, and is waiting for the court to sign off to make his win official ... but that technicality didn't prevent Brian from celebrating.

The R&B legend posted a video of himself smoking a cigar, saying, "The verdict is in" -- it isn't -- "according to the courts, trying to ruin my name and trying to bring harm to my family in a book filled with lies equals $8.8 million."

Hailey Bieber didn't actually throw shade at Selena Gomez in the cover story for WSJ. Magazine ... 'cause we've learned she was talking about Sephora brands, NOT the singer-actress.

Here's the deal ... during an interview with the outlet, Hailey said, "I think there is space for everybody. I don't feel competitive with people that I'm not inspired by."

Many fans online -- and, admittedly, TMZ as well -- thought she was shading Gomez by calling her uninspiring ... but, our sources say that's not the truth in any way, shape or form.

Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith just sidestepped a potentially bitter battle for custody of their daughter, Juno ... calling off the trial one day before the court date.

TMZ has learned ... Jodie's legal team filed court docs October 14, requesting the trial be taken off the court's calendar before it was set to begin October 15.

According to the "Queen & Slim" actress' lawyer, the two are in the process of negotiating a custody judgment themselves.

Keith Urban had to cancel a show suddenly last night due to illness ... but there is no way in hell he is missing tonight's homecoming show, TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... Keith's "High and Alive" tour stop at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina was scrapped at the last minute yesterday ... 'cause his doctor diagnosed him with laryngitis. Naturally, the cancellation made headlines due to the split drama with Nicole Kidman -- but this had nothing to do with that.

A source close to Keith tells TMZ ... the country music star is on vocal rest all day ... right up until he takes the stage Friday evening for his homecoming show at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. But it's totally on -- and good thing, too ... 'cause it's damn-near sold out!

KISS guitarist Ace Frehley was riding high on optimism earlier this year ... thanks to a psychic who swore he’d be shredding till he hit the big 1-0-0.

Back in March this year, Ace was all smiles talking about his comeback following a nasty arm injury ... in an interview with New Jersey newspaper The Aquarian, he said, "I just spoke to a psychic. She goes, 'Ace, you’re going to live to be a hundred.' So I said, 'No problem!'"

In the interview, Ace also gave props to his family tree ... bragging about the great genes that kept his dad going to 96, his mom to 86, and his sister to 99 ... so he was clearly thrilled to be following suit.

Dallas Cowboys star Trevon Diggs will miss this weekend's key matchup with the Commanders ... after his coach said he suffered an accident at his home on Thursday night.

Brian Schottenheimer announced the news to media members on Friday morning ... and while he didn't go into specifics about the matter, he did let journalists know the former All-Pro is in concussion protocol and won't be available for Sunday.

Schottenheimer said he was "wishing [Diggs] well" ... and added the team will rely on some younger DBs, including Caelen Carson, to fill in while the two-time Pro Bowler recovers.

Britney Spears' former dancer has surfaced after Kevin Federline claimed Spears cheated on him in a lesbian hookup with her ... looking cozy in an interesting sweatshirt outside her home in a couple new pics.

Teresa Espinosa was photographed hanging around her pad in the L.A. area Thursday ... stepping out briefly in a top printed with a somewhat cryptic message.

Check it out ... in one pic, Teresa's wearing a pull-over that reads, "Gentleman's Club. Honor, Respect, Loyalty." Unclear if she's trying to imply anything about her friendship with Spears here ... but it will certainly get fans talking.

Chris Brown's Breezy Bowl XX concert at the New Orleans Superdome turned into a royal rumble last night ... after a group of women ganged up on another lady and beat the brakes off her in the stands!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video of the wild encounter unfolding in the seats ... with 2 women -- one in blue, one in black -- arguing as another woman steps in to prevent the one in black from lunging forward.

Shortly after, another woman rushes into their section, briefly consults with the woman in black being restrained ... and then immediately launches into an attack on the woman in blue, clocking her cold in the face!!!

Actress Samantha Eggar -- best known for "The Collector," "Doctor Dolittle" and "The Molly Maguires" -- has died, TMZ can confirm.

The lively British actress died peacefully Wednesday surrounded by family at her home in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles ... her family tells TMZ. We're told she struggled with a "long illness" before her passing.

Samantha hit the big screen running, earning an Oscar nomination for her breakout role in the 1965 film "The Collector." She went on to have a prolific career, appearing in more than 100 projects on the big and small screens, including voiceover work.

George Strait's played some of the biggest stages out there, gaining plenty of fans along the way ... and it looks like his supporters in South Carolina are going to get their chance to see the country star real soon.

The country star is planning on heading back to Clemson Memorial Stadium -- also known as Death Valley -- to play a show on May 2, 2026, according to Billboard.

Strait's not the only performer of the night, as he'll be supported by both Cody Johnson and Wyatt Flores at the concert.

It's worth noting the last time a concert was held at Clemson Memorial Stadium was all the way back in 1999 -- and it was headlined by Strait, too!

Strait shared an announcement about the planned event on Instagram Friday ... the post's caption said the "King" would be returning after a quarter-century.

Clemson Memorial Stadium can accommodate more than 80,000 fans, and we're thinking Strait's probably gonna fill most of those seats ... FYI, he formerly held the record for having the largest single ticketed concert crowd in U.S. history ... although his record was beaten by Zach Bryan in 2024.

Harry Styles has left another clue he might have another album on the way ... he and new flame Zoe Kravitz were seen leaving a music studio Thursday night.

The pair were snapped holding hands on their way to Japanese hot spot Omen in SoHo in New York City after reportedly spending about 9 hours in a recording studio.

Zoe donned a cap, covering her new bob ... but other than that, the two were matchy-matchy in black coats and trousers.

The Pentagon's pissed off at a new LGBTQ-focused military series ... claiming it goes completely against the "warrior ethos" -- and, they're bashing Netflix for it.

Here's the deal ... the show "Boots" -- the story of a gay Marine recruit, forced to hide his sexuality in order to serve in the 1990s due to the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in the military -- debuted on the streamer just last week, and it's pulling huge streaming numbers.

The show's still sitting atop the chart for the company ... outperforming Ryan Murphy's new season of the anthology series "Monster" and the documentary about Victoria Beckham.

Kylie Jenner says she was born dreaming of the recording studio ... joking she's been ready to be a pop star ever since she was born.

The aspiring singer-songwriter dropped a video on socials of her talking about her feature on the Terror Jr song "Fourth Strike" ... and, she told interviewer Carter Gregory, she "came out of the womb" ready for a career in pop music.

Jenner says she's never really pursued music because she never had the confidence -- yes, even beautiful, billionaire KarJenners have some self-doubts, too -- but, she explains getting older encouraged her to take the leap into the music industry.

Beyoncé and the girls "Run the World" ... and, right now she's traveling all the way around it ... 'cause she was just spotted shopping at a Yves St. Laurent in Qatar!

The singer-songwriter tried to keep a low profile in a mall Thursday -- darn-near impossible to do when you're a Queen -- tossing on an all-black outfit with a traditional headscarf.

It seems Bey mainly just did some window shopping ... she wasn't carrying any bags as she walked out of YSL ... though we'd guess she probably has someone to carry the load for her when she goes on a spree.

Newly unearthed video shows Bill Belichick and his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, talking smack about staff on one of the legendary coach's shows last year.

The footage, according to Pablo Torre and his "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast, was recorded back at the start of the 2024 NFL season ... as Belichick, who had not yet taken the job at UNC, was on the set of an NFL Films-produced program called "Coach."

The show was slated to feature Belichick and his pals, Matt Patricia and Michael Lombardi, analyzing big football games ... but it was clear, neither Hudson nor Belichick were pleased with some of the presentation.
