Mickey Rourke is telling fans to close their wallets ... 'cause he has nothing to do with the GoFundMe set up in his name!

As we reported, a fundraising page was created in his name with a goal of $100,000 -- which it has surpassed -- to prevent the star from being evicted from his Los Angeles home. However, Mickey told fans Monday night on Instagram he doesn't even know what GoFundMe is, and that this whole situation is frustrating and embarrassing.

He leaves no words minced as he craps on the crowd-sourcing page, bluntly stating ... "If I needed money I wouldn't ask for no f***ing money. I'd rather stick a gun up my ass and pull the trigger!"

Tragedy to start the year -- Yulia Burtseva, an Italian influencer, has died at just 38 after undergoing cosmetic surgery in Moscow.

The social media star went under the knife at a private clinic in Moscow on Jan. 4 -- but things took a devastating turn when her condition rapidly worsened. She was rushed to the hospital soon after and later pronounced dead, according to Russian outlet MSK1.

The outlet reports Moscow investigators have now opened a criminal case, looking into possible negligence tied to the procedure. Officials say multiple forensic tests are being ordered -- including a medical examination -- as they work to determine what went wrong.

2:26 PM PT -- North West's Instagram account is now back up. Upon her return, she posted a photo on her story featuring music equipment along with the text, "locking in."

North West’s solo IG has mysteriously vanished -- getting the digital axe less than a month after its debut.

Do a quick search for North West’s IG just three weeks after its launch, and you’ll come up empty ... with a "profile isn't available" message.

As for who pulled the plug? Whether North West bowed out on her own, mom Kim Kardashian or dad Kanye West stepped in, or IG hit delete themselves... it's a mystery.

1/4/25 9:25 AM PT -- A Universal spokesperson tells TMZ ...

We take all employee concerns seriously and have established processes for raising any concerns without fear of retaliation."

Steven Anthony Lawrence -- a  former child star on the Disney hit "Even Stevens" -- says he was retaliated against for reporting a pedophile at Universal Studios ... and now no longer has a job there.

The actor -- who played Bernard "Beans" Aranguren on 22 episodes of the show from 2001 to 2003 -- made the claims on Instagram Saturday ... sharing a photo of his work ID leaned up against a large Toad costume.

Steven says he's put off sharing the news because he hoped to come to an amicable solution with his former employer.

Tini Younger made a brief return to social media following the miscarriage of one of her twins, telling fans her surviving daughter is doing well.

The TikTok star gave the update on her little one Friday, just a few weeks after complications during childbirth took the life of one of her twin daughters in November. She told her followers her daughter -- who she calls "L" and "Baby B" -- is doing a-okay ... but it's been a long recovery for her.

Tini noted she and her hubby, Antoine Wright Jr.,  remind their daughter about Arya -- the twin who died in the miscarriage -- every day ... and she believes Arya "plays with her sister in her dreams, L loves to smile in her sleep."

Lizzo's got summer on her mind in her first IG post of 2026 ... showing off her weight loss in a tiny bikini and form-fitting bodysuit!

She references Alabama Barker's viral "nasty" TikTok sound in her caption, penning ... "YITTY & a Pucci fit… nastyyyyy 😜." It may be a new year, but it's the same Lizzo feelin' "Good as Hell!"

TikTok's beloved Grandma Mary has passed away, her granddaughter announced Friday.

Grandma Mary was adored by Pyxie's followers as she was heavily featured on her TikTok account doing day-to-day tasks and generally spreading joy with her upbeat persona and comforting smile.

In the first snap, the couple embraces on a porch with their faces pressed together. Other pics show them hugging and a softer shot of Ballerini cuddling a dog in a fluffy brown coat.

The model shared a series of candid Instagram Stories Wednesday, giving fans a peek at her first New Year's Eve as a mom after welcoming a baby just weeks ago.

"What are all the new parents doing this nye? Is it sooo different than past new years?" Hewitt wrote over a filtered selfie, teeing up a very real comparison.

Brooklyn Beckham is once again at the center of the Beckham family drama ... this time thanks to a glaring absence from dad David Beckham's 2025 Instagram recap.

The retired soccer superstar posted a 20-photo carousel Wednesday, reflecting on what he called unforgettable moments from the past year. While David proudly featured wife Victoria Beckham and three of their children -- Romeo, Cruz and Harper -- his eldest son was nowhere to be seen.

Following President Donald Trump's abysmal ratings hosting the Kennedy Center Honors -- and the growing list of artists canceling performances at the venue due to DT's recent rebranding it with his name on top -- the president's retaliatory tantrum has begun.

Despite JFK's granddaughter, Tatiana Schlossberg, dying just hours earlier Tuesday, Trump took to Truth Social to flood his timeline with reposts of MAGA supporters mocking the Kennedy family.

One reads ... "The Kennedy Family have LONG neglected the Kennedy Center, btw. They don't raise money for it. They never show up. And the only Kennedy who has been there recently is a member of Trump's cabinet."

Another reads ... "The Trumps have always been supporters of the arts. The Kennedys are supporters of the Kennedys."

Elon Musk's made plenty of wild comments over the years ... and a teen who was facing deportation from Denmark learned firsthand about the tech mogul's tendency to be inappropriately outspoken on Sunday.

Here's the deal ... Audrey Morris was facing deportation from Denmark, where she's lived since she was 9 years old. The 19-year-old had moved from Los Angeles to Aarhus when she was 9 after her mother began a Ph.D. program, reports The Daily Beast.

Although Audrey was allowed to temporarily live in Denmark as an accompanying family member of her mother, her permit expired last year ... and authorities decided not to extend her residence because she wasn't living with her mother while attending high school in Viborg.

Elon eventually found out about her case, and shared a now-deleted tweet on Sunday reading "8 or above level hotness should get an exemption" ... in other words, calling Audrey too cute to kick out.

Although Audrey said she was "floored" by Elon's comment, which she described as "crazy," she wasn't unfamiliar with the sentiment ... because she'd read plenty of other comments about how her appearance was apparently a fair reason for her to stay in Denmark ever since her immigration problems started.

Audrey said she wished Elon would have focused on her academic achievements as opposed to her appearance -- after all, it's kind of creepy for a 54-year-old man to be publicly commenting on a 19-year-old's hotness -- but she admitted she was fine with the attention to her case.

Cardi B is urging fans to check themselves as they hound her over her relationship with Stefon Diggs -- telling them to quit being "mean" as she navigates parenthood with him and prepares for her upcoming tour.

Check out her lengthy social media video from Monday night -- she lays it out plain and simple for her haters, noting ... "I can’t change sh*t. I can’t go back in time. I already had a baby."

She hilariously continues ... "Y’all want me to put my baby back in my p***y? Huh? I don't know what y'all want me to do. Y'all want me to leave my man and f*** yours?"

Chappell Roan shared a sweet tribute to Brigitte Bardot after the French film legend died over the weekend ... and she yanked it from Instagram just as fast after the singer learned more about the controversial icon.

Here's the deal ... Brigitte died at the age of 91 -- and among those who shared their sorrow was Chappell, who wrote ... "She was my inspiration for 'Red Wine Supernova.' Rest in peace, Ms. Bardot."

Seems CR was only aware of Brigitte as a French blonde bombshell and her tireless work to protect animals ... and not so much about her outspoken xenophobia and homophobia.

Clearly, word got back to Chappell ... and she replaced the tribute with a mea culpa, writing "Holy s---. I did not know all that insane s--- Ms. Bardot stood for. Obvs, I do not condone this. Very disappointing to learn."
