The Church of Scientology is asking for a judge to make the Los Angeles Police Department hand over information about alleged leaks regarding Leah Remini and the church leader’s wife ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, lawyers for the Church are asking a judge to force the LAPD to turn over documents immediately.

The Church is pissed the LAPD failed to identify who leaked the Missing Persons Report filed in 2013, which claimed Scientology leader David Miscavige’s wife, Shelly, was missing.

Dylan Sprouse sprang into action when an alleged trespasser found himself on his Hollywood Hills property early Friday morning, TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... they got a 911 call from Dylan's wife, Barbara, around 12:30 AM Friday morning, saying there was an attempted burglary at their home. Our sources say Dylan confronted the alleged intruder and held him down until the cops showed.

A source close to Dylan tells TMZ ... the actor is OK, but obviously very shaken up. What's worse, we hear this is not the first time someone has tried to get into the couple's home uninvited.

8:39 AM PT -- A law enforcement source tells TMZ ... this was an investigative grand jury and not one designed to indict anyone. But why did the LAPD say they were presenting the case to the D.A. on Monday if the D.A. was in charge of the grand jury investigation?

D4vd's arrest was dramatic for sure, but there's something underlying it that screams something is up with the prosecution's case ... it may not be as solid as people think.

The LAPD arrested D4vd late Thursday and quickly put out a statement that they would present the case to the D.A. on Monday. Here's the thing ... the D.A.'s office already had the case ... they had it for months.

Deputy D.A. Beth Silverman has been presenting evidence to an L.A. County Grand Jury since November, and it seemed by all accounts this was more than an investigative grand jury ... it was a grand jury convened to indict D4vd for the alleged murder of Celeste Rivas. If the grand jury heard all this evidence, wouldn't it make sense for it to indict?

4:05 PM PT -- The hearing has ended ... the judge will issue a ruling later today or Monday.

Tyler Robinson is making another appearance in court Friday ... this time asking the judge not to allow cameras into his trial because of the media's biased coverage of his case -- and, we're live-streaming it for you.

The alleged murderer will appear alongside his attorneys, while his defense asked a judge to stop live streaming coverage of the trial.

His lawyers say the live streams are being used to commodify the trial instead of serving their intended purpose -- which is to educate the public on the proceedings.

It's a small world, and Hollywood might be even smaller, 'cause D4vd was posting up at Sandra Bullock's former Hollywood home when he was arrested in connection to the death of Celeste Rivas ... TMZ has learned.

It's unclear how long the singer was laying low at the stunning 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom abode, but according to its Zillow page ... it was listed for rent at $17,500 a month in September 2025, and the listing was removed last month.

As you know, Celeste's decomposing body was found in a Tesla linked to D4vd at the beginning of September. By September 19, he canceled the remaining dates of his tour and basically went incognito ... not making any contact with his fans or public appearances.

Back to Sandra -- she lived in the 1942 bungalow beginning in 2001 when she bought it for a cool $1.48 million. She bought other properties afterward -- including an Orange County escape with ex-husband Jesse James -- but she kept her trusty Hollywood pad until she sold it in 2018 for $2.9 million.

The 3,153 square-foot home offers high-end finishes, including a kitchen with designer finishes, and even a stunning pool and spa setup that offers gorgeous views over Los Angeles.

D4vd was living among some of the biggest stars in the house -- it's located just down the street from Jimmy Kimmel!

We showed you pictures of the luxurious home after D4vd was taken into custody by the Los Angeles Police Department Thursday night ... and video that showed detectives surrounding the property long after the rapper was whisked away to jail, where he's being held without bail.

Our sources tell TMZ the robbery-homicide and gangs and narcotics divisions of the LAPD, plus its K9 unit, were all at the scene.

Interestingly, D4vd has not been indicted by the grand jury reviewing evidence ever since November ... but clearly, law enforcement officials believe they've got a strong case on their hands.

D4vd's lawyers slammed the development, telling TMZ ... "Let us be clear - the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death."

Cher has requested that a temporary conservator be appointed for her son Elijah Blue Allman as she says he's locked up in a psychiatric hospital following a range of financial and legal troubles, and even a medical emergency that required Narcan.

TMZ obtained documents the famous singer submitted to the Los Angeles County Superior Court Wednesday ... and she lays all of Elijah's troubles bare as she says his life has "significantly deteriorated" since the last time she filed for a conservatorship in 2023.

She details one scary incident during which she says her son was found passed out behind the wheel of his car in traffic ... which resulted in his hospitalization and Narcan -- the life-saving drug used to rapidly reverse opioid overdoses -- being administered.

Four witnesses from the Karen Read saga are flipping the script -- suing her and blogger “Turtleboy” for allegedly trying to turn them into murder suspects.

Jennifer McCabe, Brian Albert, Colin Albert and Brian Higgins filed a lawsuit Thursday in Massachusetts, claiming Read teamed up with Aidan Kearney -- aka Turtleboy -- to push a narrative that they -- not her -- were responsible for the death of Boston cop John O'Keefe.

According to the complaint, Read and Kearney “worked hand in hand” to spread what they call a deliberate web of lies ... all in an effort to shift blame away from Read after O’Keefe was found dead outside a home in January 2022.

Kearney, however, is pushing back ... telling us, "For 3 years I have relentlessly investigated the killing of John O’Keefe. Norfolk County and the MSP spent millions to convict Karen Read but they failed. Twice. Twice juries rejected the Commonwealth’s claim that Karen Read did this.

Singer D4vd didn't only get his freedom taken away last night, but also seemingly his label Interscope Records had pulled his page from the website completely.

On the artists page for Interscope, where all of their signed talent lives and is featured, D4vd's page is no longer visible or listed amongst the rest of the bunch.

Even when searched in a normal web browser for D4vd and Interscope Records together, the link to his page does appear ... however, when clicking on the link, it leads to a dead end. It's unclear when exactly Interscope removed him, but records show he was still listed on there as an artist at the end of February.

Kim Kardashian and her mom, Kris Jenner, demanded Ray J pay them $7 million for breaching their secret 2023 deal over the infamous sex tape ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained the legal letter, dated October 3, 2025, from Kim and Kris’ legal team to Ray J.

The letter claimed Ray J violated the deal, which had a non-disclosure clause provision barring the parties from talking about the sex tape or making false claims. But the docs don't stop there ...

Attorneys for D4vd -- real name David Burke -- are firing back at L.A. authorities for arresting the singer, highlighting that a grand jury never even indicted him for the alleged murder of Celeste Rivas.

In a statement, D4vd's attorneys Blair Berk, Marilyn Bednarski and Regina Peter tell TMZ ... "Let us be clear - the actual evidence in this case will show that David Burke did not murder Celeste Rivas Hernandez and he was not the cause of her death."

They went on ... "There has been no indictment returned by any grand jury in this case and no criminal complaint filed."

The lawyers added, "David has only been detained under suspicion. We will vigorously defend David’s innocence."

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Drew Sidora asked a judge to put her estranged husband, Ralph Pittman, behind bars for leaking her private texts ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Drew raised the issue to a judge in June 2025 ... months before the Bravo star was ordered to vacate her marital home with Ralph.

In the filing, Drew -- who told the court she's been famous since age 8 -- said her career had been on the rise with a new song and several big projects.

Kim Kardashian is unbothered by a man’s claim that he will be financially ruined if forced to pay her a six-figure sum in court, TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Kim scoffed at Ivan Cantu’s plea that he not be on the hook for $128K in legal fees she requested after his lawsuit was tossed out.

Ivan sued Kim for emotional distress after she posted his photo and mistook him for a death row inmate.

Kim quickly deleted the photo after realizing she had posted a photo of Ivan, who has the same name as the alleged murderer that Kim was advocating for not to be executed. She denied she did anything wrong. A judge sided with Kim and dismissed all claims.

Lisa Hochstein allegedly spent nearly 6 hours sitting alone in a jail cell with no food after turning herself in to Miami authorities ... this after a judge ordered officials to process and promptly release her ... TMZ has learned.

According to a court order, obtained by TMZ ... "The Real Housewives of Miami" star was to be booked and released on her own recognizance "without undue delay" ... and the judge specifically directed she not be required to appear before a court prior to her release.

The jail confirms she was booked around 11:45 AM and released just before 5 PM. We're told, during that time, she remained in a cold jail cell without food.
