TMZ caught up with the viral dermatologist -- and founder of SLMD Skincare -- in L.A. on Monday to see how she's doing now ... and she tells us she's focusing on taking better care of herself.

She assures us she's bouncing back and has returned to work, but is still having some small setbacks, saying ... "It's a little bit harder if I'm overworked or overstressed."

The doc says sometimes her voice falters or the grip in her left hand isn't as strong ... but she's still got a sense of humor about it.

"Vanderpump Villa" star Hannah Fouch is sparking some serious buzz in the desert ... because she was seen getting cozy with a mystery man at Coachella.

Eyewitnesses tell us Hannah wasn’t rolling solo at the festival ... instead, she spent a good chunk of her time with an unidentified guy -- who stayed close by her side as they moved through the crowd.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us that the two are currently seeing each other. We’re told he's not a public figure, which is why they’re trying to keep things low-key for now.

At one point, the couple is seen going in for a smooch as they frolic through the festival grounds ... clearly enjoying their intimate moment among the masses.

Kim Kardashian once famously sobbed over losing a diamond earring in the ocean on "KUWTK" -- but this time, it looks like she’s dropped something way more valuable into the water ... Lewis Hamilton.

Check out these pics -- Kim was right there with the F1 champ in the Malibu waters Monday ... locking lips, getting cozy, and judging by that grin, looking fully smitten!

Kim kept it beachy in a rolled-down wetsuit and bikini top -- showing off those signature curves -- while Lewis stayed hands-on the entire time.

"Unexpected" star Bella Vaughn's mom has been arrested in Arkansas ... and she got popped on a couple of charges.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Falen Vaughn was arrested on Monday for disorderly conduct and disrupting governmental operations. Both charges are misdemeanors.

We're still trying to get more about what led to her arrest ... but we do know Falen was booked in the Crawford County Jail yesterday and has since been released.

As fans know ... Falen is the mother of Bella on "Unexpected" and often appears on the reality show about teen pregnancy.

She is due in court June 8.

Denise Richards is mourning the loss of Patrick Muldoon in a touching tribute to her ex and former "Starship Troopers" costar.

The actress penned a lengthy letter on Instagram -- accompanied by a reel of pictures and video of them together -- Tuesday saying she was "deeply heartbroken" and "devastated" over his death.

As we previously reported ... Patrick died after suffering a heart attack on Sunday morning.

In her post, Denise recalled how she and her former flame -- who she affectionately called "Schweetbabe" -- had known each other since they were in acting class together when she was 19 and he was 21.

West Wilson is finally speaking out on the "Summer House" drama he and Amanda Batula started by announcing their relationship last month ... and clearing up the timeline.

The reality TV star said on his "Show Me Something" podcast Monday that he and Amanda got together when everyone was single -- meaning he was no longer with Ciara Miller, and Amanda and Kyle Cooke had called off their marriage. He also said he and Amanda realized things were "maybe a little bit serious" between them in February.

West says he knows they've hurt a lot of people, and he plans on giving "face-to-face" apologies at the upcoming reunion, which Amanda has confirmed she will also attend and share her side of things.

A former government employee who was awarded $755K from Todd Chrisley after he trashed her on social media is on the hunt for the money she won in court ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Amy Doherty-Heinze -- who worked as a tax official for the Georgia Department of Revenue -- is making moves to collect on the judgment she won against the reality star in late 2024.

Amy filed docs in Tennessee, where she believes Todd and his family currently live, to start the process of collecting the six-figure debt she's owed.

Yolanda Hadid is doing a little spring clean with a luxury twist -- she’s putting her Pennsylvania family farm back on the market ... and yep, she’s sticking to that $10.8 million price tag.

The supermodel-turned-designer opened up on IG Monday, writing that when the 6-bed, 8-bath estate fell out of escrow last year, she chose to see it as a gift -- more time to soak up the serenity. But now the doors are back open!

Yolanda first listed the dreamy Bucks County spread last September ... and it’s not hard to see why it’s commanding that number. The place is basically a wellness sanctuary with countryside chic, fully reimagined from the ground up.

HGTV’s “Renovation Aloha” has landed in seriously hot water -- and this time it’s not about a botched remodel, but something far more sensitive … human remains.

The show is now under scrutiny after an episode allegedly featured ancient Native Hawaiian burial remains -- and state officials say that may have crossed a legal line, according to a report from Hawaii News Now.

The controversy traces back to December 2025, when hosts Kamohai Kalama and Tristyn Kalama were filming on a property in Hilo and came across skeletal remains inside a cave. Instead of that discovery staying behind the scenes, footage of the bones reportedly made it into the show -- triggering immediate concern once it aired.

Taylor Frankie Paul just announced she’s been living with PTSD ... for years.

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star took to her Instagram stories Sunday with a message “for all those that assumed diagnoses” … declaring she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder two years ago.

Taylor writes that she was diagnosed “by more than one therapist” … and muses that it might even be considered Complex PTSD. 

Travis Barker is toe-tally whipped -- and he’s not even trying to hide it … dude literally put his money where his mouth is, sucking on Kourtney Kardashian’s toes for her birthday!

Yeah, you read that right -- Travis posted a close-up of Kourtney’s toes fully in his mouth, going all in on what appears to be a foot fetish with zero shame.

Naturally, the internet dropped their thoughts in the comments ... but Travis seemed one step ahead, sneaking the toe-sucking snap in at the end of a massive birthday photo dump for her 47th.

Dakota Mortensen is speaking out after his ex-girlfriend, Taylor Frankie Paul, escaped prosecution in their domestic violence cases, saying his sole focus is on the well-being of their young son while also taking some accountability. 

Dakota posted an essay on Instagram early Monday morning after prosecutors in Utah announced last week Taylor would not face criminal charges following several of the former couple's domestic violence incidents from February of this year. Prosecutors indicated it would be tough to prove the cases beyond a reasonable doubt.  

In his IG post, Dakota said he's recently taken a step back from all the drama -- while trying to create a stable environment for the 2-year-old son he shares with Taylor. Taylor temporarily lost custody of their son after Dakota filed a temporary protective order against her.

Dakota also wrote that he's not perfect and takes accountability for what happened between him and Taylor, apologizing for his role in the whole ordeal.

Sorry, One Direction fans ... a reunion seems ever less likely to happen -- because a new report claims Zayn Malik slugged Louis Tomlinson.

The Sun laid out the alleged altercation in an article posted late Friday ... claiming the fight went down during the filming of a new Netflix reality show which was supposed to focus on the pair bonding on a road trip.

The outlet says sources told them the fight was triggered when Malik made a crack about Tomlinson's mom ... who died of cancer in 2016 -- not the kind of quip friendships usually come back from.

She doesn't hold back -- she tells TMZ everyone knows "the girls are better than the guys" in the house, and that Ciara knows she will be "better off" once the dust settles down.

West Wilson and Amanda Batula's love isn’t just a spring training fling ... they're seemingly hitting it out of the park with a date night to watch the Yankees!

Check it out -- the "Summer House" stars were all cuddled up and cute at Friday night's New York Yankees game against the Kansas City Royals in NYC. They ain't afraid to show their affection for one another either ... passionately locking lips at one point, which was caught on the big screen!

As you know, Amanda and West shocked fans when they confirmed the rumors they were dating last month -- a major strike to Amanda's costar and close friend, Ciara Miller, who previously dated West.

Ciara has since unfollowed both Amanda and West on Instagram.
