Girlalala built up a considerable online following throughout her career as an influencer ... which all came to a sudden end in late 2025.

The social media star, who'd carved out a space for herself within the transgender community of South Florida, was shot to death.

We're going to take a look at how Girlalala made a name for herself as an influencer and check out the circumstances surrounding her death.

Tekashi 6ix9ine and Kodiyakredd of the Island Boys are denying rumors swirling around a home invasion at Tekashi's Florida home ... 6ix9ine tells us it wasn't staged, and Kodiyakredd says he's not one of the masked gunmen seen on video.

There's been tons of online speculation about the commotion at Tekashi's home this past weekend -- we first reported the home invasion -- and some folks are convinced Tekashi orchestrated it ... while others think Kodiyakredd was one of the men wearing ski masks.

Tekashi 6ix9ine tells TMZ ... the rumors are completely false.

The Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office tells us miscellaneous items were taken from Tekashi's home but no vehicles were taken.

After her interview Tuesday with Vivica Fox, Sherri Shepherd told TMZ there's clearly still a lot of love between the actress and her ex 50 Cent.

Chatting with us in NYC, she said, "I think they still love each other ... I really do."

It's easy to see why she'd say that about Vivica. During the "Kill Bill: Vol. 1" star's "Sherri" appearance, she dished that she had "fabulous" orgasms with Curtis. So it's safe to say, she remembers him fondly. But what about 50?

Patrick Beverley's legal team is disputing the allegations that led to his felony assault arrest ... with his attorney claiming the ex-NBA player's sister's side of the alleged incident is not accurate.

Letitia Quinones-Hollins tells TMZ Sports the details laid out from Beverley's 15-year-old sister to cops in the probable cause affidavit were "given at a time when emotions were high" and don't tell the truth or the complete story.

"Patrick is not a violent man and was not violent that night," Quinones-Hollins said Tuesday. "In fact, he was very respectful with the authorities that night and encouraged others to do the same."

Daniella Pick Tarantino just landed her first role with actual lines ... and she’s not shy about admitting it came with a little help from her powerhouse director hubby, Quentin Tarantino.

We caught up with the budding actress in North Hollywood on Monday -- alongside her "The Perfect Gamble" costar and director Danny Abeckaser -- and she tells us Quentin’s been a huge help over the years ... even slipping her a tiny cameo in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."

Catch the full clip ... she also dishes on whether Quentin actually backed her taking this role -- and the key piece of advice he gave her before she stepped in front of the camera.

Jamal Khashoggi became a widely known name in 2018 when he died during a visit to a Saudi consulate in Turkey.

The circumstances of the journalist's death became the subject of controversy, and the reported method of his body's disposal caused an even larger public outcry.

We're going to take a look into Jamal's background and see how his murder was referenced years after it took place -- apparently to the annoyance of a few higher-ups in the government.

2:50 PM PT -- Hours after the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill to require the Dept. of Justice to release the Epstein Files, the Senate agreed to pass the same bill by unanimous consent -- to move the bill forward with no amendments to the House's version, according to the New York Times. This avoids a recorded vote in the Senate chamber.

Once the bill formally transfers from the House and is received by the Senate, it will automatically go to President Trump's desk. The transfer process generally takes several hours.

Bottom line, the bill could land on President Trump's desk tonight. Trump has said he will sign it.

We're one step closer to finding out who was dealing with Jeffrey Epstein ... the House just approved a bill demanding the Dept. of Justice release the Epstein Files.

The bill was put on the floor Tuesday for a full vote, and it passed by a 427-1 vote.

President Trump has done an about-face on the Epstein Files -- on Friday he said Republicans would be "soft and foolish" to vote for releasing the documents ... but he reversed course by Sunday night and said House Republicans should back the bill.

Ray J isn't backing down from challenging Mario in a singing battle ... despite his opp not taking the competition too seriously.

We caught up with Ray in NYC mid-morning Tuesday, where he was advocating for a TMZ After Dark and Brunch Tours in the Big Apple -- a move which definitely has a nice ring to it.

After all, Ray has become quite the Hollywood draw with our bus patrons, so an expansion may be on the horizon!!!

Nicki Minaj became the first female rapper to address the United Nations on Tuesday and gave credit where it was due ... to President Donald Trump for setting the stage!!!

The occasion was a bipartisan one ... however, the 'Pinkprint' megastar took on the U.N. invite to confront the situation in Nigeria, where Trump has claimed Christians are being murdered simply for their faith.

Nicki admitted she was nervous at the start of her speech and spoke in a soft, gentle tone throughout her entire speech, but firmly demanded urgent action for the killings.

TMZ Sports is going live from the newsroom to discuss the day's biggest stories ... but we don't just want folks to watch and enjoy the conversation, we want y'all to get involved!!

Simon Leviev -- the infamous "Tinder Swindler" who allegedly scammed women out of millions on the dating app -- says he's mounting a legal war against the streaming service that made him famous ... telling TMZ he's suing Netflix.

Simon joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday after being sprung from jail in Georgia -- the country, not the state -- and we asked him about the latest round of allegations against him.

He was arrested back in September after Interpol, the intergovernmental law-enforcement organization, issued a Red Notice -- AKA an international alert -- but Simon says the allegations that led to the alert were totally false.

Mario is setting the record straight after his recent comments about Omarion's singing being hit or miss ... but thinks Ray J's trolling needs to be nipped in the bud!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Mario out in NYC while promoting his latest project, "Mood Swings," which could sum up his thoughts on his R&B contemporaries for some fans.

Ray J recently went nuclear in Mario's Baltimore hometown on the local radio station, bragging about how his skills and hits are superior to the "Let Me Love You" hitmaker.

"Selling the OC" has really given "sugar daddy" seekers a major boost ... cuz this season they're peddling more than just homes -- with one dating site seeing a big boost of visitors.

Here's the deal ... on Season 4 of "Selling the OC," a website once used to connect thirsty young ladies with sugar daddies has been all the talk -- ever since Ashtyn was accused of meeting her husband, Jeff, on the site.

Turns out that's been great for business, because a rep for Seeking.com -- formally known as Seeking Arrangements -- tells us they've seen a major spike in women looking to live the good life jumping on the site ... especially in Washington D.C., L.A., Orlando, NYC and Miami.

Donald Trump gave an ice-cold response when asked about the slaughter of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi Tuesday, sweeping it under the rug while seeming to imply that he just wasn't very popular.

As you know ... Khashoggi was famously murdered in a Saudi consulate in Turkey in 2018 by men who reportedly strangled him and sliced him up with a bone saw while he was still gasping for air. The CIA determined Saudi leader Prince Mohammed bin Salman was the one who ordered the grisly slaying.

During his Tuesday visit to the White House -- MBS was asked the inevitable question by a reporter about why Americans should trust him given that he's widely considered to be the mastermind of Khashoggi's horrific murder.

Joe Jonas appears to be deep in the throes of a new romance ... 'cause he and Tatiana Gabriela are out there fueling some serious dating rumors!

Check out these pics -- the singer and the model were out and about in NYC, keeping it super low-key as they went about their day ... and looking very comfortable in each other’s company.

Joe kept it chill in a red hoodie, while Tatiana rolled up looking effortlessly chic in a shearling-lined coat, white pants, and those killer shades ... absolutely nailing that low-key "It couple" vibe.

Martha Stewart is back in the saddle with Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre is along for the hoo-ride ... as the gourmet guru is now the newest brand partner for their Still G.I.N. spirited beverage!!!

On Tuesday, Martha posted up with Dre and Snoop and introduced her signature cocktail "Water Melly" boosted by Still G.I.N. -- along with watermelon and lime juice, cucumber bitters, and cane syrup.

Big Martha will now promote Still G.I.N. alongside Dre and Snoop, picking up right where she and Snoop's "Potluck Dinner Party" TV series left off.
