Jason Oppenheim is opening the door for Christine Quinn to come back to his Netflix show "Selling Sunset" ... saying he's down with her returning, but the buck doesn't stop with him.

We got Jason in L.A. Thursday -- and our photog asked him if a recent reunion with Christine and other cast members is a sure sign she's gearing up to make a 'Sunset' comeback.

Jason tells us he would welcome Christine back with open arms and has no hard feelings ... but explains it's not his decision, rattling off the list of folks who would have to sign off on such a big move.

Joey Chestnut and his longtime nemesis Takeru Kobayashi are going head-to-head in a hot dog eating contest once again -- but it won't be part of the usual Fourth of July event ... it's a Labor Day extravaganza!!

The showdown is 15 years in the making -- the two last went at it in 2009 at the traditional Nathan's competition in Coney Island ... when Jaws beat Kobayashi to defend his mustard belt.

The timing of the announcement is pretty interesting -- on Tuesday, Major League Eating announced Chestnut was OUT of the Independence Day contest due to an endorsement deal he inked with a rival food company.

Miranda Derrick says the new Netflix doc that makes it look like she's in a cult is causing her a bunch of problems -- namely, death threats ... and she is laying some of the blame at her family's feet.

The TikTok star hopped on social media Monday and posted a video, claiming folks are sending her all sorts of nasty comments ... including threats of physical violence. She says things are to the point where she doesn't feel safe.

'Dancing For The Devil' is the popular new Netflix doc taking a look at Miranda, characterizing her and others involved with 7M Films as brainwashed sheep beholden to an alleged cult leader, Dr. Robert Shinn.

The alleged villain covered in Netflix's 'Dancing for the Devil' was the subject of two previous criminal investigations, but neither resulted in any charges ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us two sexual battery cases were filed against Robert Shinn and reported to LAPD in August 2023 -- which tracks with what was covered in the doc ... with some of his accusers coming forward and noting they'd gone to cops.

We're told one of the cases was filed by former 7M member Kylie Douglas, whose story was featured in the doc. Our sources say the LAPD conducted an investigation, and the case eventually landed at the L.A. City Attorney’s Office.

Former NXIVM sex cult member India Oxenberg says folks need to cut TikTok star Miranda Derrick some slack ... 'cause she may well be in a cult and not even realize she's been brainwashed.

India, who broke free from NXIVM after 7 years under the cult's spell, tells TMZ ... she's known about Miranda's alleged cult, 7M Films, for years and thinks it's likely Miranda doesn't fully understand the influence the group is exerting over her life.

Miranda denies 7M is a cult, and says she's not some mindless zombie under founder Robert Shinn's control -- pushing back against a narrative seen in the new "Dancing for the Devil" Netflix doc -- but India says groups like 7M and NXIVM have perfected the art of controlling communication with those on the outside.

Jake Paul will still face off against Mike Tyson in the ring ... the highly-anticipated boxing match has been rescheduled for November 15.

As we previously reported -- the bout slated for July 20 was pushed back after medical professionals told Iron Mike to take it easy for a few weeks due to a recent ulcer flare.

The bout will still go down at the home of the Dallas Cowboys -- AT&T Stadium in Arlington -- and air on Netflix.

5:26 PM PT -- A rep for Netflix tells TMZ ... "We intend to defend this matter vigorously and to stand by Richard Gadd's right to tell his story."

The woman believed to be the real-life inspiration behind the villain in "Baby Reindeer" is now taking Netflix to court -- claiming they defamed her ... and she's gunning for millions.

Fiona Harvey just filed a suit against the streaming giant -- and she's flat-out denying many of the actions Martha allegedly did in the limited series ... in which she's painted as an overly-obsessed stalker constantly hounding the main character, played by Richard Gadd.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Harvey alleges that Netflix created an easily accessible road map to allow viewers to track her down in real life and connect the dots to her identity.

"Selling Sunset" stars Emma Hernan and Chelsea Lazkani just washed up on the 'gram looking absolutely stunning in red and white bikinis. But, now it's on you ...

We know these besties are babes on a boat, but the question here is, Who'd You Rather?!

A new Netflix doc has made people believe that TikTok star Miranda Derrick is in a cult -- but she's calling BS ... and putting out a totally different narrative, suggesting she's just fine.

Miranda hopped online Tuesday to clap back at claims made in 'Dancing for the Devil' -- which characterizes her and others involved with 7M Films as brainwashed sheep that are beholden to an alleged cult leader ... but Miranda says that's simply not the case.

In a short clip on her IG Story Tuesday, Miranda first thanked everyone for their support since the 3-part doc dropped last week ... and then teased a lengthy written statement in the following slides, saying she couldn't spill all the tea due to legal reasons.

Jennifer Lopez has had a rough time lately with all the negativity in her life ... but she's coming back with a vengeance, scoring big streaming numbers with her new Netflix film.

The singer/actress stars as Atlas Shepherd -- a data analyst distrustful of Artificial Intelligence -- in the Sci-Fi thriller "Atlas" ... and, according to Variety, the movie is beating the competition when it comes to viewership despite terrible reviews.

The trade reports that "Atlas" ran away with the most streams for the six-day period beginning May 24 -- when the movie dropped -- to May 30.

Acclaimed cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema disagrees with Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos' stance that movies can be fully appreciated on a streamer/phone in the same way as on the big screen.

ICYMI, Ted faced online ridicule for saying his son watched the 1962 classic "Lawrence of Arabia" on his phone, and also singled out last year's "Oppenheimer," for which Hoyte won an Oscar, as a film that would be equally enjoyed away from the big screen.

Hoyte makes it clear to TMZ ... while he has no ill will toward Ted, he believes a pocket-sized screen doesn't hold a candle to the traditional theatrical experience.

Nicole Kidman getting hot and heavy in the sack with Zac Efron is not something you hear every day... but that's exactly what happens in their new film and we have a sneak peek at some of their sexy scenes.

Check it out ... On Wednesday, Netflix dropped a trailer for the movie, "A Family Affair," ahead of the June 28 premiere – and the two A-list actors can't keep their hands – or bodies – off each other.

In the 2-minute clip, Kidman and Efron are seen tangled up half-naked on a bed before they intensely make out against a wall.

Mike Tyson might be 30 years older than Jake Paul, but that won't stop El Gallo from going for the kill if the opportunity presents itself on July 20 ... telling TMZ Sports there's no chance he takes it easy on the boxing legend in their upcoming fight.

The combat sports community is torn on who's got the upper hand in the Paul vs. Tyson bout -- Tyson is obviously one of the greatest to ever do it, but he's decades removed from his dominance ... while Paul is far less experienced, but in his prime when it comes to age.

We spoke with 27-year-old Paul as the big day rapidly approaches ... and asked if there's any part of him that would hold back based on the fact his opponent is a few years from being a senior citizen.

All Bennifer questions are off-limits, at least if you're media covering Jennifer Lopez for her new movie -- and reporters were warned about it before she arrived ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Netflix alerted all the media outlets covering the Hollywood and Mexico City premieres for "Atlas" that no Ben Affleck, and no personal queries were allowed.

We're told they were also informed J Lo would only do group interviews with her costars Sterling K. Brown and Simu Liu by her side -- the studio's version of calling in backup.

We've got some juicy TMZ TV hot takes that are sure to get you through this hump. So, settle in!!!

First up, on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles discuss 50 Cent's new Diddy docuseries ... which officially has a new home at Netflix.

50 Cent has been hyping up his Diddy documentary for months, and he wasn't trolling his archenemy, as the project just landed a prestigious new home ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Fifty's multi-part documentary about the sexual assault allegations against Diddy was purchased by Netflix.

We're told there was a massive bidding war over the doc, which was produced through 50's G-Unit Film and Television Studios, with multiple networks and all of the streaming platforms attempting to land the series.
