Amy Duggar King has gotten pretty close with her cousin Jill Duggar Dillard ... especially in the wake of Joseph Duggar's arrest.

In a new YouTube chat with interviewer Dory Jackson ... Amy says she and Jill -- who's one of Joseph and Josh Duggar's sisters -- have been texting a ton since Joseph was arrested in March for allegedly sexually abusing a minor in Florida.

Amy said ... "We have definitely sent messages back and forth, all week long, you know, for weeks now of just like, 'Are you doing OK? I love you.'"

Spencer Pratt is digging in over the backlash surrounding his mayoral campaign ad ... insisting he never lied about living in an Airstream trailer after being called out for actually staying at the ritzy Hotel Bel-Air.

The candidate joined "TMZ Live" Wednesday after we broke the story ... he's been staying at maybe the swankiest hotel in L.A. ... this after calling out the luxury homes where incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and challenger Nithya Raman live. But Spencer says people are missing the point.

“I don't live at the hotel Bel Air. I don't live in the Airstream. I don't live in Santa Barbara. I don't have a house. They burned it down,” he said.

Ray J's hurling some wild accusations Kris Jenner's way, saying he "wouldn't put it past" her to order a hit on him ... but sources tell TMZ this is a flat-out lie.

On Wednesday's episode of "The Jason Lee Show," Ray J said he's "on alert" that the momager "might try to do something" to him as his countersuit against her and Kim Kardashian heads to arbitration.

Watch the clip ... Jason followed up by asking if Ray J thinks Kris would "drop a bag to have a hit done" .... and the singer said he's not ruling it out. But sources tell TMZ that Ray J's spreading false news, and Kris has zero interest in engaging.

PK Kemsley's got enough drama with his divorce ... but now he's adding smashing into his neighbors' car to the mix!

Check out this video from Tuesday in Los Angeles -- PK backed his $120K Range Rover out on the street, straight into a Toyota RAV4 owned by his neighbor’s caregiver ... then casually drove off like nothing happened.

The extent of the damage on the RAV4 is unclear, but PK's own ride was left with a pretty noticeable dent. Didn't seem to faze him though ... he was spotted strolling back into his Encino building completely unbothered.

PK tells TMZ ... "I genuinely thought the new Range Rover had automatically braked for me. It wasn't until I got home and noticed the world's tiniest mark on my car that I realized I'd very gently nudged the neighbor's bumper. I went over, apologized, and offered to pay. Entirely my fault. Although in fairness, trying to reverse while subconsciously searching for paparazzi hiding in bushes is probably not recommended by Land Rover."

Nancy Guthrie is Khloé Kardashian's latest true crime obsession ... and doesn't understand how there are so few leads about her tragic disappearance.

On Wednesday's episode of her "Khloé In Wonder Land" podcast, the reality star sat down with true-crime podcaster Ashley Flowers to talk about Savannah Guthrie's missing mother.

Khloé said it's "mind-blowing" that police don't have any info about what happened, explaining that she was fascinated by the since-debunked theory that Nancy's son-in-law could have been involved in her abduction.

Diana Jenkins is denying Internet rumors she pushed an 18-year-old Hayden Panettiere into bed with a famous naked man ... with a rep telling TMZ she is ready to sue anyone who spreads the lies.

Here's the deal ... after Panettiere detailed her horrific experience on a yacht -- she says a trusted older female friend of hers took her to a room and physically put her in bed with a "very famous" man who was "undressed" in both her new memoir "This Is Me: A Reckoning" and Jay Shetty's "On Purpose" podcast ... and fans have been spreading their theories online about the identity of the man and the woman.

When it comes to the pal -- who Panettiere does not name but says was in the entertainment industry -- fans were quick to throw out Jenkins' name.

The arrest of "Street Outlaws" star Daddy Dave earlier today has an unusual twist, TMZ has learned ... Dave was caught on video planting a GPS tracking device on someone's vehicle, according to police.

Bath Village Police Chief Donald Lewis tells TMZ ... the street racer -- real name David Comstock -- was arrested Wednesday morning in Upstate New York and booked into the Steuben County jail on two misdemeanors -- stalking and criminal tampering.

Lewis said the trouble began late Tuesday night when the victim called police saying that someone tampered with his vehicle.

Mauricio Umansky says Lala Kent is a "f***ing liar" for the way she brought up his DM on her podcast.

ICYMI ... the "Vanderpump Rules" alum spilled some tea on her "Untraditionally Lala" podcast last week, saying Kyle Richards' ex slid into her DMs while they were navigating their split.

She said Mauricio asked her to grab a coffee because she talks about him on her podcast ... but Lala said she never opened or responded.

Brandi Glanville's not pulling her punches ... taking shots at her ex Eddie Cibrian and his new wife LeAnn Rimes -- while also saying she'd go toe to toe with Denise Richards.

We caught up with the reality star and her podcast partner James Maas in Los Angeles Tuesday ... and we asked her about the persistent rumors the pair are joining "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

Glanville has already sounded off about Rimes joining the show -- sarcastically commenting she "got everything else of [Glanville's]" so of course she'd take this too -- and she's not any more supportive here ... saying her kids think LeAnn and Eddie are super boring and audiences will feel the same.

Daddy Dave from "Street Outlaws" is living up to the name of his TV show ... he just got arrested for allegedly stalking someone.

The reality star, whose real name is David Comstock, was booked into the Steuben, New York, jail early this morning for misdemeanor stalking and misdemeanor criminal tampering. In case you're wondering, the tampering offense has to do with meddling with another person's property to cause them a huge inconvenience.

In addition, Comstock posed for a mugshot, and we gotta say he doesn't look very happy, but who can blame him under the circumstances. For now, Comstock is being held without bail.

Ariana Madix is all for the comparisons between her and Ciara Miller after the "Summer House" star was publicly betrayed by West Wilson and Amanda Batula this year.

The "Vanderpump Rules" alum addressed the comparisons on her Tuesday night "Watch What Happens Live" appearance and confirmed to host Andy Cohen that there are 100% similarities between Scandoval and West and Amanda's situation. She's not saying they're the exact same ... but they're similar enough to warrant the comparison.

Remember -- Ariana was heartbroken publicly when she discovered her longtime beau Tom Sandoval was secretly hooking up with their "Vanderpump Rules" costar Raquel Leviss ... a major situation labeled as "Scandoval."

Spencer Pratt is an extremely loyal customer, dropping thousands at his favorite Mexican restaurant as part of his campaign for Los Angeles mayor ... TMZ has learned.

According to campaign docs, obtained by TMZ, Spencer spent a total of around $8K for fundraising events at Don Antonio's, on the Westside ... which has been Spencer and his wife Heidi's fav spot since they starred on "The Hills." The campaign docs cover the period between January 1, 2026 to April 18, 2026.

You'll recall ... Spencer and Heidi often shot scenes for "The Hills" at Don Antonio's and have been praising the joint for years. On TikTok, Spencer often posts about his love of the spot.

'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Dorit Kemsley claims her estranged husband, PK Kemsley, stopped paying the bills on their $6 million mansion amid their bitter divorce, TMZ has learned. Sources close to PK claim he paid the bills for years and only recently stopped due to Dorit's wild spending.

TMZ obtained a scathing email from Dorit's team -- filed by PK as part of their nasty divorce -- which is dated April 15, 2026 and addresses issues about the couple's finances and other matters.

Dorit's team claimed that, "first and foremost, contrary to PK's representations, Dorit has always been agreeable to placing the house on the market as long as reasonable protections are in place," adding that Dorit needed "adequate financial support" ... including an immediate $50K payment.

Gordon Ramsay says the only thing that's full of s*** is the TikToker who started the social media smear campaign against his restaurant.

We caught up with the celebrity chef in New York City on Tuesday ... and he's calling BS on the viral video.

ICYMI, a customer complained that a dog took a dump on a pee pad inside the London location of his Street Pizza restaurant. But an eyewitness said the same as the chef ... the pup didn't actually go to the bathroom at all.

Gordon tells us they've reviewed the CCTV footage and "under no circumstances" did the dog drop a deuce ... over even pee, for that matter.

A handyman who claims he was injured at Lisa Vanderpump's $14 million mansion is now demanding a hefty sum in court ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Eric Nieto filed a lawsuit back in November against Lisa and Ken Todd over an alleged incident at the couple's 5-bedroom, 8-bathroom, 8,801-square-foot mansion in Beverly Hills on November 25, 2023.

Nieto claims he was hired to perform handyman work at the home and says he was required to use an interior stairway leading down to the basement.
