Whoopsie! Dolly Parton's sister Freida says she didn't mean to start a panic Tuesday over Dolly's health ... because the music legend is expected to be just fine.

After freaking out some fans on Facebook Tuesday, Freida later posted ... "I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She's been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference."

Freida, 68, put fans on edge about Dolly, 79, after hopping on Facebook earlier Tuesday, writing ... "Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me."

Stephen Miller's infamous for speaking his mind about various topics during his tenure as the White House Deputy Chief of Staff -- and now he's extending his attention to the subject of his height.

And all of the newfound attention to the political figure's height is thanks to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who encouraged her social media followers to mock his height in an effort to demean the Trump Administration during an Instagram Live session on Sunday, according to The Independent.

The Democratic Congresswoman from New York claimed the reason Miller "looks like he is so mad" is due to his height -- which she guessed was about 4 feet 10 inches -- and stated he's likely taking his anger about his height out on vulnerable groups.

Miller stood up to the challenge ... sitting down for a spot on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" show Monday evening to address AOC's comments after rewatching a clip of the Live session.

The longtime Trump ally claimed his adversary's brain and eyes don't work and described her as a "trainwreck" ... claiming he stands 5 feet 10 inches tall -- the average height for men in the USA is about 5 feet 9 inches, according to Healthline.

AOC took the whole thing in stride, posting on X that she was "crying" about the fact Miller had to rewatch the clip on live TV.

It looks like Zelda Williams is perfectly happy with photos and home videos of her late father Robin Williams ... because she just publicly objected to fans sending her A.I.-generated clips of her dad.

The director shared a set of messages on her Instagram Story on Monday to let her followers know she's fed up with receiving the clips ... and she pointed out the "Mrs. Doubtfire" star would not have approved of them, according to Variety.

FYI ... Robin -- who shared Zelda with his ex-wife Marsha Williams -- died by suicide at his home in California in 2014.

Gerry Turner is officially off the market -- he popped the question to his girlfriend, Lana Sutton, and she said yes!

Gerry broke the news Friday on Instagram, posting beachside photos of the happy couple and writing ... "We've got BIG news. The Golden Bachelor is OFF the market. I found my perfect match and she said 'YES.' I love this woman."

Lana's beaming in the post, showing off her engagement ring -- a round cut diamond set on a sparkling, diamond-encrusted band.

Taylor Swift and Blake Lively may not be in a good place right now friendship-wise... but that didn't stop the actress from supporting the superstar's new album drop.

It's subtle, but it's there ... on Instagram, Blake gave Taylor a "like" in her Thursday post celebrating the release of "The Life of a Showgirl," where TS told fans ... “I can’t tell you how proud I am to share this with you, an album that just feels so right."

The gesture seems minor ... but it's actually a pretty big deal since the one-time besties had an epic falling out over Blake's ongoing lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

Nicki Minaj and Cardi B are still going at each other's throats after several days of social media venom directed at the other's kids ... disses that haven't slowed down at all!!!

The Queen has been under fire for roasting Cardi and Offset's daughter Kulture earlier this week ... but she and her Barbz have been digging up screengrabs, maintaining it was Cardi who took a shot at the cradle first.

Nonetheless, Nicki wrote an open letter somewhat apologizing to the 7-year-old ... telling the tyke it's not her fault she has funny-looking gums, but blames Cardi for taking her out her character.

Keith Urban's possible romantic interest has been thrust into the spotlight ... and her father has officially responded to the rumors and headlines.

TMZ broke the news that Keith is believed to be seeing another woman amid Nicole Kidman filing for divorce ... and the superstar singer and rising country star Maggie Baugh are now sparking major buzz.

Maggie's family is clearly aware of the rumors ... her father Chuck shared a TikTok on his Facebook of a video of purported evidence, which is leaving some commenters to criticize Maggie as a homewrecker ... and Dad captioned the post ... "NO. Just No."

Nicki Minaj went full kamikaze on TMZ, "The Breakfast Club," Cardi B's kids -- even THE BARBZ -- during her now-infamous social media rant yesterday ... and Charlamagne Tha God feels it was all prophesied in his interview with Lil Kim -- more than a decade ago!!!

Charlamagne slapped Nicki with the "Donkey of the Day" on Thursday -- using her full government name, Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty -- with emphasis on the "petty" for accusing "The Breakfast Club" team of using witchcraft to thwart her holy mission, or some assorted horseradish.

During Nicki's roasting, Charlamagne unearthed Lil Kim's 2013 interview with "The Breakfast Club" where The OG Queen Bee ripped Nicki for hogging the spotlight from other rap girlies and predicted "darkness will come to light."

Fredo Bang is laughing off Cardi B roasting him on IG Live after he championed buying her "Am I The Drama?" album ... she's the only female he'd allow to call him a "B*TCH"!!! 😍

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Fredo in L.A., who's out and promoting his own "Kreature Muzik" album, and reveals he actually sent Cardi proof of his iTunes purchase after she flamed him ... but she hasn't checked the DM yet.

He tried to get the vinyl but they were sold out ... but look out for him to pop up in one of the tour meet-and-greet photos!!!

DJ Vlad doesn't think either Nicki Minaj or Cardi B is overly benefiting from their ugly social media spat that's lampooning each other's kids ... but fans have their jumbo popcorn bags anyway!!!

The VladTV architect hopped on "TMZ Live" with Harvey and Charles to assess the explosive beef during a testy time -- Vlad and yes, even us, are currently in Nicki's crosshairs!!!

Onika is firing at everyone else, including Jay-Z, Roc Nation and dozens of music execs ... but Vlad's not letting Cardi off the hook, either.

Jared McCain was hitting the high notes after going under the knife on Tuesday ... crooning his favorite songs in a post-op karaoke session -- from Drake to Lil Baby, Sabrina Carpenter and Tate McRae!!

The 21-year-old shooting guard went on his Instagram right from his hospital bed ... saying he felt "really good" following his procedure to fix his UCL tear he suffered last week.

With his eyes half open, McCain hilariously treated his 1.9 million IG followers to a private concert.

Kevin Hart made such a grand entrance when he dropped on Kai Cenat's "Mafiathon 3" marathon live stream on Monday ... it literally knocked Druski's pants off!

Check it out ... the moment is hilarious AF as Kevin slyly sneaks it between the well-dressed duo chopping it up on the stream with more than a million people watching ... and the two lose their minds!

It gets to the point where Kevin has to tell Druski to settle down -- and pull up his pants -- before he says he wants to redo the entrance with style ... which means dancing to Usher's "Yeah!"

Aidan Walker -- an expert on memes and internet culture -- says "incel culture" comes from a sense of hopelessness about the world ... and, social media eggs the negativity on.

We spoke with the writer and content creator on "TMZ Live" Monday ... and, we asked him about what sort of impact the internet and meme culture may be having on violent acts perpetrated these days.

Walker says memes are just a way for younger people to communicate ... and, it's so influential because it's all-encompassing and collaborative -- one person makes the pictures, the words are changed, people like and comment, and on and on it goes.

Karlie Kloss is a model mother ... and, she's got her hands -- and chest -- full with her newborn in new pics she shared to Instagram Sunday.

The former Victoria's Secret Angel shared several photos with her daughter, Rae, who was born just a couple weeks ago ... including one where Mom's in a facemask while breastfeeding her little one.

KK's grinning wide here ... beaming after welcoming her third child with her husband, Joshua Kushner.

Dolly Parton's not going to charge into the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace in December ... revealing her doctors tell her she must undergo multiple procedures.

The singer-songwriter revealed the news in a sweet Instagram post Sunday ... telling her fans she's still struggling with health problems -- and, she says "doctors tell me I must have a few procedures."

She cracks a joke at her own expense ... saying she told the docs it must be time for her 100K mile checkup -- lightening the mood a little with her classic wit.

Ariana Grande's got some questions for people who voted for Donald Trump last year ... and, it all boils down to whether economic gains are worth everything else the administation's done.

The singer-songwriter reshared a post which asks people who voted for Trump if the president has delivered on a series of promises he made to improve the economy ... such as lowering insurance premiums and the price of groceries.

The post also asks if any of these economic changes are worth the suffering of immigrants and transgender people or attacks on free speech ... and, if the current climate is making them "happier."
