Heidi Klum held true to her promise by rocking an "ugly" but recognizable Halloween costume -- she dressed up as the Greek mythological figure Medusa for her annual Halloween party!

We got a peek at her walking onto her red carpet and into her epic celebration at Hard Rock Hotel New York City Friday night, and her costume was certainly a head-turner.

Just check it out -- she was covered in green scales that tapered into a long rattlesnake’s tail behind her, and she's even got animatronic snakes as hair! Not to mention the layers of green makeup and prosthetics that certainly took hours to perfect.

Chase DeMoor is looking to wipe the floor with Andrew Tate on December 20 ... not only for boxing respect -- but also to satisfy all the people who hate his opponent's guts.

TMZ Sports caught up with the reality TV star and Misfits Heavyweight champ outside Brickhouse Boxing Club on Friday ... and chopped it up about going up against the polarizing personality/former kickboxing champ.

Long story short ... DeMoor wants to make him pay.

Here's the first look at Sean "Diddy" Combs as an inmate at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey ... and he's all bundled up behind bars.

TMZ obtained this photo of the Bad Boy Records founder walking around the prison yard Friday during his recreation time.

As you can see, Diddy's got an orange prison beanie and a navy blue puffy jacket to keep warm. It was in the 50s today in Jersey, and Diddy's dressed for the cold.

Denise Richards is ready to do some serious party hopping this Halloween ... with the actress looking smokin' hot as a Playboy bunny!

In a series of snaps she dropped on IG ... Denise is rockin' a skin-tight classic bunny costume that shows off her assets.

It's a fitting look for tonight ... since as you recall, DR posed for Playboy in the December 2004 issue, months after giving birth to daughter Sami.

Megan Thee Stallion's lawyers are going to pay Tory Lanez a visit in prison ... because a judge just ordered him to sit for a deposition in a lawsuit she filed.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Tory's attempt to dodge the deposition was denied.

Megan is suing blogger Milagro Cooper for an alleged online campaign to spread misinformation about her in the wake of Tory's conviction in the case about shooting her ... and Megan’s lawyers want to grill Tory under oath.

Julia Fox's choice of Halloween costume might have been embraced by her fans ... but  Jack Schlossberg wasn't one of them.

Julia decided to dress up as Jackie Kennedy Onassis -- Jack's grandmother -- for The Cursed Amulet's Halloween party in New York City on Thursday night.

We know it sounds innocent enough, but get this -- Julia opted for a version of the former first lady's blood-soaked pink suit Jackie wore on November 22, 1963, when her husband, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.

Move over, Lamar Jackson ... Jeff Hardy has a new favorite NFL player now -- thanks to Jahmyr Gibbs' Halloween costume tribute!!

We chopped it up with one-half of Team Extreme after Gibbs went viral for his 'fit at the Detroit Lions' holiday party this week ... and his efforts are being acknowledged by the man himself!!

"My mind was blown," Hardy said of the costume. "Lamar Jackson used to be my favorite NFL football player, so now I've got a new one."

Armani White is flipping his arrest earlier this month for disorderly conduct in Kentucky into a positive situation ... by assisting those with legal troubles who DON'T have a hip hop career to ease the pain!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained footage of Armani's listening party in Los Angeles Thursday night in support of his debut album, "There's A Ghost In My House." ... audio inspiration from reading Shel Silverstein's poetry book, "A Light in the Attic" as a kid.

Armani told the crowd he's now working with The Bail Project -- a nonprofit organization that helps low-income and potentially innocent citizens with free bail assistance.

JD Vance clapped back Friday at a deleted X tweet commenting on his recent statement he'd like his wife Usha to convert to Christianity.

The vice president spoke at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi Wednesday night and said he was holding out hope his wife will convert to Christianity. Usha was raised in a Hindu family, although they reportedly aren't religious.

Vance's remarks were not well-received by some on social media, and an X user shared a now-deleted post claiming the author had tossed his wife's religion "under the bus," according to The Hill.

The V.P. fired back with his own X post, calling the comment "disgusting," and claimed Usha had encouraged him to look a bit deeper into his religion a while back.

He wrote she does not plan to convert ... although he still hopes she will one day ... he said anyone in an interfaith relationship likely feels the same way about their own partners.

Vance claimed comments like the one he responded to were examples of "anti-Christian bigotry."

Heidi Klum went from "Project Runway" to "Project Rainway" ... 'cause her latest catwalk resembled a wind tunnel -- except it was outside on a rooftop, where she found herself unwittingly locked in a high-fashion duel with her umbrella.

Check it out ... Heidi hit the Empire State Building in NYC on Thursday ... but between the howling wind and sideways sheets of rain, her poor little umbrella never stood a chance.

The video’s pure comedy ... Heidi was battling her rebellious canopy as it flipped inside out and thrashed from side to side as she desperately tried to keep it together.

Justin Baldoni isn't seeking to restart his lawsuit against Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and the New York Times -- for now at least -- because the deadline to amend that suit has passed, and the final judgment dismissing the case is now official.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the final judgment in the case has just been entered and all of Justin's claims against Blake, Ryan and the NYT have been thrown out of court.

The ruling first came down in June and Justin could have appealed ... but a deadline came and went without him putting up a fight.

Joe Giudice says money goes a long way at Fort Dix -- the minimum-security prison where Diddy’s now doing time -- and it can make life a whole lot easier behind bars.

The former reality star -- who did hard time there from 2016 to 2019 -- tells TMZ inmates are “all about money,” and says Diddy could even dodge certain responsibilities if he’s willing to cough up some cash … like his new gig in the laundry room.

Joe says he used to pay other inmates to do the chores he didn’t want to do -- including prison work -- and claims Diddy could easily slide someone a few bucks to mark him as showing up for his job.

A British Royal Family shake-up continues ... Sarah Ferguson's going to be doing some house-hunting pretty soon ... because she won't be living with her former husband, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor -- formerly known as Prince Andrew.

ICYMI ... Andrew's being stripped of his title by King Charles, and he's also being kicked out of Royal Lodge, where he and Sarah lived for almost two decades.

A source close to Ferguson confirmed she'll also be leaving the Royal Lodge to move into her own place, People people.

The source said Sarah hadn't asked for any property for herself in recent weeks, and they stated the philanthropist will "forge an independent life" for herself.

Andrew has been the subject of intense controversy for his connections to Jeffrey Epstein ... he's reportedly looking to move into a property on the Sandringham Estate -- privately held by his brother, King Charles -- ASAP.

No "Cheap Thrills" here ... Sia and her estranged husband Daniel Bernad have been ordered to enter a mediation session to try to hammer out the custody issues in their contentious divorce.

We broke the news earlier this week -- Daniel's emergency request for full custody was shot down by a judge ... but now, the judge is ordering them to get together for a mediation session over the custody and visitation issues for their 1-year-old, Somersault Wonder Bernad.

In court docs obtained by TMZ, the former couple is being required to at least attempt to work through the issues before the next scheduled hearing. They've got 2 options -- handle things through a video conference with a mediator ... or use the Los Angeles court system's online program meant to help parents formulate a parenting plan.

Most folks wish they were a few inches taller, but Kevin Durant is opening up on how being vertically gifted actually made him insecure ... admitting he was once depressed over being "too tall, too skinny."

The two-time NBA champion shared his mental battle on Bobbi Althoff's "Not This Again" podcast ... saying around six years ago, he struggled with his appearance.

"I was insecure about how I looked," he said. "It hit me all at one time."

2:28 PM PT -- TMZ just obtained the first image of Diddy at FCI Fort Dix, and he's walking around the prison yard in a beanie and a jacket.

Diddy's gray beard is also visible in the photo, which was snapped Friday, and it's the first time we've seen him since his September 2024 arrest ... aside from court sketches from his criminal trial.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is being put to work behind bars, and his first federal prison job has him doing the ol' fluff n' fold.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us Diddy's first gig at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey plants him in the laundry room ... washing and drying dirty clothes.

Manual labor may come as a shock to Diddy ... during his criminal trial, federal prosecutors claimed he couldn't even charge his own phone or fetch a bottle of water, and would send his army of personal assistants to basically do everything for him.
