"Pawn Stars" star Rick Harrison is facing heartbreaking news -- his mother, Joanne Harrison, died yesterday, TMZ has learned.

Rick’s rep, Laura Herlovich, tells TMZ Joanne passed away at a Las Vegas hospital.

We’re told Rick’s keeping things private right now -- understandably so, after losing both parents. His father, Richard Harrison, passed in 2018 from Parkinson’s disease.

It’s another devastating loss for Rick, who also lost his son Adam Harrison in 2024 from an accidental fentanyl and methamphetamine overdose.

Rick had been trying to move forward with life -- even recently popping the question to fiancée Angie Polushkin with a 6.5-carat pear-shaped ring from his own Gold & Silver Pawn Shop.

Joanne was 85.

The knock against "Love Is Blind" Season 9 is that it's way more sexual than previous years ... but Micah Lussier tells us all the dirty talk in the pods wasn't a turn-off for her.

11/6/2025 7:42 AM PT -- A lawyer for Kim Kardashian just gave TMZ an update on this lawsuit ... "We are pleased with the Court’s ruling, which represents a complete victory for Ms. Kardashian and dismisses Mr. Cantu’s action in its entirety.  We appreciate the Court’s recognition that an honest mistake committed in the course of Ms. Kardashian’s exercise of free speech does not serve as the basis for meritless litigation."

Kim Kardashian is being dragged to court over a social media screw-up ... she's being sued by a guy she mistakenly identified as a death row inmate.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Kim is being sued by Ivan Cantu ... a project manager from New York who Kim identified as a man awaiting the death penalty in a Texas prison cell.

Kim posted a photo of the wrong Ivan Cantu on her social media in February 2024 when she was trying to bring awareness to the case of an inmate by the same name ... and Ivan says the mix-up subjected him to public embarrassment, shame, hatred, ridicule, disgrace, contempt and aversion.

Kim Kardashian is opening up about the scary time she's been going through ... she was told who put a hit out on her life -- by someone in prison.

The reality star and business mogul spoke briefly about the terrifying situation in the preview for next week's "The Kardashians" episode. Check out the clip -- she says someone in prison informed her who it was who ordered her dead.

Listen for yourself ... Maitland tells us DF had eye on the prize -- and women must support women, especially in Hollywood ... that said, Maitland did have some minor suggestions how DF could have avoided being knocked out.

3:17 PM PT -- Gerry Turner's disputing Theresa Nist's version of events a bit ... telling TMZ, "I laughed. That’s preposterous."

Gerry Turner seems to have had an exit plan in case his marriage to Theresa Nist didn't work out ... straight-up telling her where he'd hide her body if he killed her!

Nist exhumed the morbid story during an episode of the "Dear Shandy" podcast ... telling the hosts they were out on a walk near his house along a lake, when Theresa says Gerry pointed out a shed to her.

She then claims Gerry said, "That’s where I’m going to hide your body after I kill you and chop you up" -- a statement Nist swears he deadpanned.

Kendall Jenner’s kicked off a whole new decade -- and she’s clearly setting the tone ... by showing up in her birthday suit, literally!

Yup, the supermodel blessed the 'gram with a dump from her 30th birthday getaway -- and let’s just say, it’s a scenic treat, 'cause we’re talking full-on artsy nudes, including one where she used sand as nature’s pasties.

In one shot, Kendall’s catching Z’s on a hammock with a book doing double duty as a cover-up -- while in another, she’s totally bare, perched on the beach while looking out at the ocean.

Mom, momager, or Gen Z’s ultimate "mother" ... whatever you call her, Kris Jenner’s hitting the big 7-0, and we’re celebrating with her hottest, most iconic shots through the years.

Honestly, it’d be a crime not to celebrate Kris -- the mastermind behind the KarJenner empire and the pop culture moments that defined a generation. But today’s not about them ... it’s all about her -- so hit that gallery and give the queen her flowers!

From the very start of the family’s reality TV reign, Kris has been the one watching over it all -- serving looks and power every step of the way.

Joey Graziadei touched down back in L.A. after just running in the NYC Marathon this weekend ... and even though the dude is clearly sore AF, he says soreness was worth it -- making his goal time by mere seconds!

Our cameras ran into the former "Bachelor" and "Dancing with the Stars" winner at LAX ... and he says even though he was just in a big race, there is no rush to the altar with fiancée Kelsey Anderson ... 'cause they're still in "early stages" of wedding planning.

Check the clip ... Joey tells us doing the marathon was just another bucket list item the reality star wanted to check off ... after he completed his viral "30 Under 30" bucket list earlier this year.

Chanel West Coast is weighing in on "Ridiculousness" getting the ax -- telling us MTV should’ve kept it rolling a few more seasons since the world's currently going through so much negativity right now.

"Selling Sunset" star Nicole Young is pushing back on serious claims levied by Chrishell Stause and Amanza Smith ... telling TMZ she's never had a substance abuse problem.

We got Nicole at Royal Smoothie Studio City in L.A. and our photog asked her straight up if she's ever had a drug problem, as Chrishell and Amanza claimed during this season's "Friendsgiving" episode.

Nicole tells us she's never had a problem with substances and says Chrishell and Amanza know that full well ... which she says makes their public claims all the more "heinous."

TMI, girl! "Selling Sunset" star Amanza Smith may have opened up a little too much on Harry Jowsey's 'Boyfriend Material' podcast ... she admitted to having sex with her kids' "uncles."

The revelation came when the topic turned to dating horror stories. She couldn't come up with any ... but what she did come up with was definitely horrifying.

She said, "There's so many uncles I've probably banged," completely freaking out Harry ... before she clarified, "Not a real uncle."

Kendall Jenner rang in the big 3-0 like only a KarJenner can -- and let’s be real, subtlety was never on the guest list because this party was big AF, even by their standards!

It was a full-on beach bash, as seen in the glam pics Kim Kardashian dropped on IG Monday night ... Kendall served her usual statuesque model moment, while the whole family and friends crew showed up looking like a Vogue spread on vacation.

No word on the exact location, but the vibes were off the charts -- 818 Tequila flowing, a drool-worthy 818-themed cake, and massive fireworks lighting up the ocean.
