Sources tell TMZ that the network did not change its earlier decision to fire Del Rio ... despite the actor presenting new evidence in an attempt to clear his name ... and the book has now been closed.

As TMZ first reported, David adamantly denied claims against him -- that he allegedly sexually assaulted Lewis on Paramount property in October. He hired powerhouse lawyer Shawn Holley to represent him, and the network reopened the investigation into the actor after he demanded they review additional details.

Bill Cosby is being forced to answer questions about whether he transferred property to his wife, Camille Cosby, amid his ongoing legal troubles ... TMZ has learned.

Following a hearing this week, Cosby was ordered to turn over financial records showing his and his wife’s net worth within the last two years, as part of the lawsuit brought by one of his rape accusers, Donna Motsinger.

The comedian was instructed to produce records showing his bank statements, retirement accounts and other financial accounts from December 2024 to December 2025.

The judge said Cosby will also have to produce any documents showing the "transfer of any property from him to his wife, or his family or any business, trust and company in which he, his wife, or family has an ownership in the past 12 years.”

2/20/2026 5:57 AM PT -- Sources close to Philip tell TMZ that Baron is a dog and Caro is Philip's wife.

Ghislaine Maxwell apparently has a jealous streak just now coming to light, and it relates to a special act -- a urine fetish -- and, it was recently uncovered in Jeffrey Epstein file emails.

Here's the deal ... we've just found a 2002 email exchange in the massive trove of Epstein documents released earlier this year, between Maxwell and a man named Philip Levine, in which Maxwell asks Levine how he could send her pictures of "Baron" being "unfaithful" to her with another woman.

She explains ... "I am devastated. Tell me he did not pee on her too. At least if he did not do that I know that he does not feel threatened so I still hold pride of place." It's unclear if Ghislaine's joking in her email or totally serious.

Former Prince Andrew is under arrest by police in England in relation to documents revealed in the Epstein Files ... which detail his longtime friendship with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The disgraced ex-royal -- who now goes by his name Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor -- was apprehended by Thames Valley Police officers on suspicion of misconduct in public office at his home today, on his 66th birthday. The arrest comes a couple weeks after an anti-royal organization asked authorities to investigate whether Andrew shared confidential British financial info with Epstein in 2010.

The police department issued a press release, saying a man in his 60s was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, and that officers are currently searching two addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk, which are located in the eastern part of England. A conviction carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in the United Kingdom.

The release noted police "will not be naming the arrested man, as per national guidance" ... in response to direct queries about the former prince.

Prince Andrew’s fall from grace just hit a new low ... because neither King Charles III nor Buckingham Palace got a heads-up before cops swooped in and arrested him today.

BBC News reports the bust went down without any warning given to the King or any palace insiders -- the disgraced ex-royal was cuffed Thursday morning in England in connection with explosive revelations from the Epstein Files ... he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly sending confidential British trade reports to Epstein back in 2010.

Once Charles got wind of the drama, he wasted no time distancing himself -- releasing a statement making it crystal clear he fully backs the police probe into Andrew’s alleged ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor -- formerly known as Prince Andrew -- was arrested Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office ... and the alleged emails he shared with Jeffrey Epstein may have played a major role in the police investigation.

While allegations of sexual assault have plagued Andrew for years, the latest Epstein Files drop stirred up new suspicions of a completely different nature as well ... the former Duke of York is now accused of using his role as Britain's special envoy for international trade to share confidential information with Epstein.

According to reports, one email sent in November 2010 appears to show Andrew telling Epstein they have "some interesting things to discuss and plot."

An out-of-control driver slammed into the back of a school bus on a Florida street, shearing off his roof, somehow survived ... and later got arrested for an unrelated crime.

Here's the deal ... the Lee County Sheriff's Office shared a video of a Jaguar rapidly accelerating down a road in Fort Myers Wednesday, running headlong into the bright yellow bus.

It looks like a pretty nasty crash initially ... with the car wedged hard underneath the rear of the bus. However, authorities say the driver -- 32-year-old Jacob Novak -- was relatively uninjured and no children were riding in the bus at the time. The bus driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

"NYPD Blue" star Kim Delaney denies she was wasted when she crashed into a motorcycle  ... and told a judge she left the scene because she’s too famous, TMZ has learned.

The actress admitted she was involved in a car accident where she rear-ended a man named Dzhamal Badalov.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star James Marsters is on his way to staking his way out of marriage number two ... he's finally settling his divorce from Patricia Jasmin Rahman after a painfully slow, 5-year legal crawl.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, James and Patricia hammered out a written agreement covering everything -- their property, marital rights, and support -- and signed on the dotted line. All that's left is for the judge to sign off on the deal.

Patricia first pulled the plug in 2021 ... a decade after they quietly tied the knot in an intimate L.A. ceremony.

King Charles III is weighing in on the arrest of his brother, formerly known as Prince Andrew, saying he fully supports the police investigation into Andrew's alleged wrongdoing in connection with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

As the world knows, Andrew was arrested Thursday by British cops at his home in England on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The ex-royal has been under tremendous scrutiny due to his longtime association with Epstein, who died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges in 2019.

King Charles has now issued a public statement, sharing that he's deeply concerned after learning of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest. 

Charles then said there will be a "full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities."

Sarah Kellen -- one of the women authorities believe was part of Jeffrey Epstein’s inner circle -- got a massage table and several Israeli artifacts as part of her divorce settlement, TMZ has learned.

Sarah and her ex-husband, NASCAR driver Brian Vickers, inked the deal back on December 18, 2025.

Per the agreement, Sarah got to keep five Israeli artifacts selected by her ex from among items including a sword, glass tear jar, small oil lamp, small vase, large jar, medium cup, large oil lamp and a metal arrow tip. She also got to keep half of a collection of Israeli coins.

Haley Kalil is doubling down on her effort to get a judge to throw out a lawsuit her ex-husband Matt Kalil filed against her after she shockingly claimed his massive penis torpedoed their marriage.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Haley says she never mentioned the former NFL player by name when she went on the podcast and claimed her marriage was marred by her husband's massive member -- which she described as two, maybe three stacked Coca-Cola cans.

Haley says Matt's lawsuit alleged "viewers could and did readily infer" who she was referencing ... but Haley says that's because she and Matt are both public figures. Haley was an SI Swimsuit model and former Miss Minnesota USA and Matt played 7 seasons in the NFL.

Idaho State Police have released nearly 3,000 photos from the crime scene left behind by Bryan Kohberger when he stabbed 4 unsuspecting University of Idaho students to death at their home in the small town of Moscow ... and now we're getting a look at their bedrooms -- some splattered in blood, while others remained seemingly untouched.

You can see some bedroom photographs are right out of a nightmare -- blood stains are splattered across walls, sheets and clothing. These rooms belonged to the 4 students who lost their lives to Kohberger's knife in November 2022 -- Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle.

Other images show typical bedrooms belonging to college students -- maybe a bit messy, nothing out of the ordinary ... some clothing and school supplies strewn about, no blood in sight. Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke were the 2 survivors from that dreaded night ... completely untouched.

The FBI has reached out to authorities in Mexico, in the hunt for Nancy Guthrie and her kidnapper, TMZ has learned ... and TMZ has received a new ransom note.

Law enforcement sources involved in the investigation tell us ... the FBI has contacted Mexican federal law enforcement to spread the word to various police agencies. We're told so far there have been no solid leads.

Our sources say the FBI believes it's possible Nancy was taken across the border, but it's unlikely it happened directly after the kidnapping. Authorities have checked Border Patrol cameras and other electronic devices, and they came up dry. That said, our sources say it's possible Nancy could have been taken across the border at some other time. Of course, there are ways to evade authorities when crossing the border.

TMZ has obtained another ransom note -- this one a highly sophisticated demand involving a cryptocurrency other than bitcoin. The email demands a dollar amount similar to the $6 million ransom demand in the previous email we received, days after the kidnapping. This email graphically describes the consequences if the ransom isn't paid.

Renee Zellweger and her boyfriend, Ant Anstead, are in a legal battle with a woman who claims she was seriously injured while visiting the couple at their rental home ... TMZ has learned.

The Oscar winner and Ant were sued by a woman named Tracey Bryn Belland ... Belland claims Renee and Ant were living in a home in Laguna Beach, California, that Ant was renting. Belland says she was injured during a visit to the home on August 14, 2024, when she tripped and fell on the patio.

According to the suit, filed the first week of February, Belland says a “thin rug had been placed over a hole, which caused her to stumble over the uneven surface, resulting in an injury to her right knee.”

Belland said she was forced to undergo treatment for her injuries. She said she will continue to deal with pain from the fall.
