Jussie Smollett's found a new leading man ... because TMZ has learned he's dating "Queer Eye" star Karamo Brown.

The new couple stepped out together in Los Angeles for an all-day date Monday ... grabbing lunch with Karamo's mom, running errands, and wrapping things up with a hike through Runyon Canyon, where they weren't shy about showing a little affection.

The chemistry was hard to miss. The two were smiling their way around town, chatting nonstop and sticking close together.

Spencer Pratt says Daveigh Chase is dead because "nobody was willing to drag her to rehab against her will."

The former 'Hills' star weighed in on the "Lilo & Stich" star's death in a social media post Tuesday ... one day after the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner ruled she died from AIDS and drug use.

Spencer was outspoken about drug abuse and rehab when he was running for L.A. mayor ... and his post is also in reaction to images purportedly showing Daveigh looking frail while living on Skid Row.

Denise Richards is asking a judge to make sure her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, promises not to leak her financial records before she's forced to turn them over in their nasty court battle ... TMZ has learned.

The "Wild Things" star filed new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, claiming Aaron has spread all sorts of private information about her to the media in the wake of their split.

Denise says Aaron wants her to turn over bank statements and information about her pay for "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ... but she insists much of that information is subject to confidentiality agreements with production companies, and she wants to make sure a protective order is in place before she sends them over.

Tom Sandoval didn't just open his home to ex-girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson ... he also allegedly supported her and her dad financially for more than a year while they lived with him ... but sources close to Victoria adamantly dispute that account.

Sources close to Tom tell TMZ ... in October 2024, Tom invited Victoria and her dad, Will Robinson, along with their four cats, to move into his home.

We're told Will first moved into the Valley Village home Tom previously shared with ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix before the group later relocated as Tom worked to sell the property.

Kate Gosselin is responding to her estranged son Collin's recent invite for her to take a lie detector test regarding her alleged abuse when he was a child ... and it sounds like he shouldn't hold his breath.

Kate hopped on TikTok and responded to several fans urging her to get hooked up to a polygraph to prove her innocence against Collin's claims.

She says she won't be taking the lie detector test and won't be suing Collin for defamation either ... explaining that legal strategy won't work because she's a celeb.

Kylie Jenner is giving her mega-mansion another shot at finding a buyer ... and she's knocked a cool $10 million off the asking price after it failed to sell months earlier.

The seven-bedroom, 14-bathroom Holmby Hills estate is back on the market for $38.5 million ... it was first listed in December for $48 million ... so this is a significant discount.

Kylie bought the place for $36.5 million in 2020 and was likely hoping for a much bigger payday ... but the hefty price cut suggests a reality check after the home was pulled from the market in March.

Peta Murgatroyd and Maks Chmerkovskiy are officially turning the page on their Los Angeles chapter ... 'cause TMZ has learned they've put their family home on the rental market as they settle into their new life in Florida.

Property records, obtained by TMZ, show the former "Dancing With the Stars" pros listed their 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom, roughly 4,300 square foot Valley Village home for rent about 20 days ago with an asking price of $18K per month.

The Napa-inspired house is loaded with upscale finishes, including herringbone oak floors, solid alder wood doors, oak ceilings, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom cherry wood cabinetry and even a hidden "secret pantry."

Tierra Davis allegedly beat up a girl years before entering "Love Island USA" … over jealousy involving her ex-boyfriend ... this, according to the girl who ran to court to get protection.

According to the court docs, 16-year-old Shayla claimed 17-year-old Tierra threatened to shoot her with a gun after physically assaulting her.

Taylor Frankie Paul revealed in a quickly deleted Instagram post over the weekend that police were called to her home ... and TMZ has learned her ex, Dakota Mortensen, is behind that call.

Bluffdale Police tell TMZ ... they were contacted Friday by Dakota, who shared concerns about his protective order with Taylor regarding drop-off and custody of their kid.

"America's Next Top Model" winner Eva Marcille is siding with Tyra Banks in her lawsuit against Netflix ... and Eva's hoping Tyra walks away with a huge payday.

We got Eva at LAX on Monday ... and our photog asked her about Tyra's defamation suit against the streaming giant.

Eva is firmly Team Tyra, telling us ... "Get your money, Black woman. Do your thing."

Eva's comments here stand in stark contrast to Adrianne Curry, the original 'ANTM' winner, who venomously responded to Tyra's claims.

Amanda Batula is officially leaving the Hamptons behind ... 'cause TMZ has learned the longtime "Summer House" star will not be returning for Season 11.

Sources connected to the series tell TMZ ... Amanda is not expected to be part of the cast when production gets underway on the July 4 holiday weekend.

Like any reality show, there's still a chance Amanda could drop in at some point during the season in a group setting ... but as of now, she won't be returning as a full-time cast member.

Josh Duggar keeps playing prison hopscotch, jumping from one penitentiary to another, with his latest stop at a federal lockup in Oklahoma ... and his lawyer is calling all the moves "punitive."

The ex-reality star was recently transferred to FTC Oklahoma City after a short stay at FMC Fort Worth in Texas. Before that, Josh was cooling his heels in FCI Seagoville, also in Texas, where he was initially sent after his 2021 conviction for receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material. 

Josh's lawyer, Beau Brindley, tells TMZ ... Josh's transfers from prison to prison are all "punitive," stemming from correctional officers allegedly violating the rules by opening Josh's legal mail at Seagoville.

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Layla Taylor is ending Pride Month by sharing her truth ... revealing she's bisexual.

Layla went on the "On Purpose With Jay Shetty" podcast Monday and said she's dating a woman.

The reality star got more into detail with Jay ... talking about why she hadn't come out sooner.

Basically, she says she "didn't know if it was just a phase."

Milania Giudice is breaking her silence on her assault arrest ... and it sounds like she's way more concerned about a fake mug shot floating around than she is about the case.

Milania posted a series of TikToks on Sunday night addressing her legal issues and blasting folks for believing a photo going viral on social media is really her mug shot.

Teresa Giudice's daughter says she looks way hotter in her actual mugshot than the A.I. slop that's floating around ... and she says she's going to learn from her arrest because "s** happens."

"Love Island UK" just got hit with an unexpected dumping ... but this one came from producers, not the public.

Casa Amor contestant Gabriel Garland has been removed from the hit dating show after producers became aware of his connection to a 2019 stabbing case in London.

Garland reportedly was never charged with a crime, nor was he found to have committed any wrongdoing -- which may be why the show's producers didn't discover the connection sooner.

Tom Sandoval and ex Victoria Lee Robinson's breakup drama came with an encore ... because police were called back to his house just hours after their first visit.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... LAPD officers responded to Tom's Los Angeles home around 5:30 PM Saturday after Victoria attempted to return ... telling cops she had a friend there to pick up more of her belongings, but Tom wasn't letting them.

We're told officers showed up simply to keep the peace, and nobody was arrested.

Sources tell us Tom had believed Victoria was planning to come back to the house ... but sources close to Victoria tell us that's not the case, insisting she intended to send a mover named Miguel instead.
