Kristin Cabot -- one half of the couple who went viral on social media this summer when they were caught getting cozy at a Coldplay concert -- is the keynote speaker at a crisis PR conference in D.C. ... where tickets are going for $875.

The former "chief people officer" for Astronomer will share the stage with PR pro Dini von Mueffling for a 30-minute discussion titled "Kristin Cabot: Taking Back the Narrative."

It's part of PRWeek's Crisis Comms Conference and tickets to the April event range from $750 to $875 ... with 14 other speakers scheduled to grab the mic.

While most of the country was aghast at Anthony Weiner's relationship with a 15-year-old girl back in 2016, Woody Allen's wife, Soon-Yi Previn, seemed more disgusted with his victim ... according to an email exchange with Jeffrey Epstein.

In just-uncovered messages -- part of the millions of Epstein Files documents released by the Department of Justice -- Soon-Yi calls the minor "a despicable and disgusting person."

In one email, dated September 22, 2016, Soon-Yi writes ... "I know. It's an incredible story. You have to feel sorry for him. He can't seem to learn," referring to Weiner.

Then she takes a turn, going right at the underage female involved, writing ... "I also thought it was disgusting what the 15-year-old did to him."

She continued ... "I hate women who take advantage of guys and she is definitely one of them. She knew exactly what she was doing and how vulnerable Wiener was and she reeled him in like fish to bait."

One of Hollywood's biggest nightlife empires is now facing a major legal showdown ... and it's coming from someone who says she helped build the brand that celebrities made famous.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ ... Marsha Molinari, a longtime business partner of The h.wood Group -- the hospitality company behind celebrity hotspots Bootsy Bellows, Delilah, The Nice Guy, and The Peppermint Club -- is suing the company and its founders, claiming she was denied her share of a massive deal after more than 16 years helping grow the brand.

Molinari, a marketing and branding executive, says she was a co-founder and equal-thirds partner in The h.wood Group along with the two other founders, John Terzian and Brian Toll ... and she says she was treated publicly and privately as a co-equal partner for years.

6:55 AM PT -- No suspects have been identified in the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said Wednesday morning.

The department tells TMZ ... "We have not identified a suspect or person of interest in this case. Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie. We are also awaiting additional forensic results."

They add, "We are not confirming the car being seized, we are unsure where that reporter is getting that information."

There's a potentially stunning twist in the kidnapping of 'TODAY' anchor Savannah Guthrie's mother Nancy ... an Ashleigh Banfield report claiming her son-in-law might be a suspect.

Banfield -- an independent journalist and former NewsNation host -- reported Tuesday night, a law enforcement source told her Tommaso Cioni has been identified by police as a possible suspect in the case.

Cioni is married to Savannah's sister Annie, and we know she was the last person to see Nancy on Saturday night when they reportedly had dinner together. It's unclear if Cioni was also at the dinner.

President Donald Trump attacked a female reporter for "not smiling" on Tuesday ... after she asked him about the most recent release of Epstein Files material.

Watch the CNN clip here ... during a press conference Tuesday in the Oval Office, CNN Anchor and White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins asked Trump if he'd read through the latest massive trove of documents.

Trump answered, "No, I have a lot of things I'm doing."

Collins pressed him, saying some alleged victims' names were not redacted.

Trump said ... "I think it's really time for the country to get on to something else really, now that nothing came out about me, other than it was a conspiracy against me, literally, by Epstein and other people."

The New York Times found at least 38,000 references to Trump, Melania Trump, Trump's Mar-a-Lago club, and other related words.

Collins followed up with a question about people saying they want justice from the investigation. Trump responded by calling Collins "the worst reporter."

Trump said, "You know she's a young woman ... I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile. I’ve known you for 10 years. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a smile on your face. You know why you're not smiling? Because you know you're not telling the truth."

Trump kept going, calling CNN a "dishonest organization" that should be "ashamed" of Collins.

Collins pointed out she was asking about survivors of sexual abuse.

He's insulted Collins specifically during both his terms in office, most recently in a December Truth Social post -- misspelling her name "Caitlin Collin’s" -- calling her "Stupid and Nasty."

And it's not the first time Trump's attacked a reporter for asking him about the Epstein Files ... he called Bloomberg White House Correspondent Catherine Lucey "piggy" after she  asked him about the files in November.

D4vd's friend Neo Langston finally went in front of a grand jury after being arrested in Montana for failing to appear as a witness.

Neo showed up Wednesday to a Los Angeles courthouse where a grand jury has been convened since November to gather information on the death of Celeste Rivas ... whose dismembered corpse was found last September inside D4vd's Tesla in Hollywood.

We got Neo on his way out of the courthouse ... and he was mum as our photog peppered him with questions.

We caught up with Beth Silverman, the deputy D.A. presenting the case in Los Angeles, on her way into the courthouse ... and she was all business.

Neo was in front of the grand jury for about 30 to 40 minutes ... and he has since left the courtroom.

After Melinda French Gates issued a public plea for her ex-husband Bill Gates to address his mentions in the Epstein Files ... Bill is doing just that in a new -- at times, uncomfortable -- interview.

The infamous files show Epstein appeared to send emails to himself claiming Bill got a sexually transmitted disease and referencing "consequences of sex with russian girls" ... and claiming Bill asked Epstein to give him antibiotics to secretly slip Melinda to prevent her from realizing she'd allegedly caught anything.

In an interview with 9 News Australia, Bill said ... "Apparently, Jeffrey wrote an email to himself. That email was never sent, the email is false. I don't know what his thinking was there."

How’s this for locker-room lore -- Rep. Eric Swalwell says the real political tea ain't spilling over cable news... it’s going down at the gym, where he claims Republicans are quietly trashing Donald Trump between sets.

We caught up with the California congressman on Capitol Hill Tuesday, and he tells us the congressional gym is where the truth really gets a workout ... with GOP lawmakers privately unhappy with Trump, but way too scared to say it out loud in public in case he claps back with threats.

Now you may be thinking, "no whey that happens" -- but we bench-pressed Eric a little harder, and he says it's abs-olutely true ... in fact, he compares it all to WWE, saying once the cameras are off -- especially in the gym -- Republicans switch personas real fast!

Mitch McConnell is under medical care after a health scare.

The 83-year-old Kentucky Republican was hospitalized Monday night after experiencing flu-like symptoms over the weekend, his office said. According to a spokesperson, McConnell checked himself into a local hospital out of "an abundance of caution" to be evaluated by doctors.

The good news here is his camp says his prognosis is positive. "He is grateful for the excellent care he is receiving," the statement read, adding that McConnell has remained in regular contact with his staff and is already looking forward to getting back to work in the Senate.

Bill Stevenson, the ex-husband of former First Lady Jill Biden, has his name in the news for all the wrong reasons recently ... he's been charged with murdering his second wife, Linda.

Here's a look at Stevenson's background and how he was taken into the hands of the law.

Shocking development in the double murder of an Ohio dentist and his wife ... she was shot 9 times, and he took 7 bullets ... and her ex-husband is charged with their murders.

'Better Call' a realtor! The house from "Breaking Bad" went on sale last year for $4 million, but after over a year on the market ... you can now own it for only $400K!

Alicia Feil of Keller Williams Realty tells TMZ ... the initial price was decided after an out-of-towner, who claimed to sell "famous" properties in Hollywood, convinced owner Joanne Padilla $4 million was a reasonable amount.

Last August, Joanne told us she thought the New Mexico property could be turned into a museum, which could fetch a pretty penny for whoever had the cash to make the $4M investment, but here's the thing ... Feil says the house is in a residential neighborhood and zoning laws do not allow for that kind of business.

There’s going to be a new head honcho at the House of Mouse ... because Josh D’Amaro is going to succeed Bob Iger as Disney’s CEO.

Disney announced the succession Tuesday following a unanimous vote by Disney's Board of Directors. D’Amaro -- currently the Disney Experiences Chairman, i.e. the head of the company's theme parks, cruises and resorts  -- will take over duties from Iger on March 18.

Iger showered D’Amaro with praise in the company's press release ... he described his successor as “the right person” for the job and said he was “thrilled” about D’Amaro’s appointment.

Canton just iced out Patriots royalty -- and Robert Kraft is the latest to feel it.

The longtime New England Patriots owner reportedly was snubbed by the Pro Football Hall of Fame, failing to make the 2026 induction class despite being one of the most powerful figures the NFL has seen in decades.

It’s the same fate that last week hit his longtime partner-in-dynasty, Bill Belichick.

Nanos stopped short of saying what crime he believes may have been committed ... but he's asking the community for help in the case.
