The Alex Cooper vs. Alix Earle drama is officially popping off ... 'cause now Alix is clapping back!

Alix kept it short and sharp, sliding into the comments of Alex’s video -- the one where Alex told her to stop hinting about their beef and just say it outright -- writing, "Okay on it!!"

Now ... that could mean anything. Maybe she’s gearing up to drop a full tell-all ... or maybe it’s a little sarcastic jab telling Alex to relax.

Rep. Tony Gonzales says he's retiring from Congress ... stepping aside after admitting to having an affair with a staffer who committed suicide last year by setting herself on fire.

The Republican Congressman from Texas announced his retirement plans Monday in a social media post, saying ... "There is a season for everything and God has a plan for us all. When Congress returns tomorrow, I will file my retirement from office. It has been my privilege to serve the great people of Texas."

Gonzales was running for re-election until his campaign got rocked by allegations he had an affair with former staffer Regina Santos-Aviles, who died in 2025.

President Donald Trump isn't the only one who can use A.I. ... California Governor Gavin Newsom just savagely trolled the president with a photo portraying DT as the Grim Reaper, with an old friend looking over his shoulder.

Newsom's brutal slam follows Trump sharing an A.I.-generated image of himself resembling Jesus on Sunday after criticizing Pope Leo XIV as "weak."

In response, Newsom posted a dark image of Trump in a black cloak, with his skeletal hand gripping a scythe as Jeffrey Epstein hovers just behind him.

Tom Dumont is opening up about a serious health battle, but he's making it clear he's still ready to rock.

The 58-year-old said he went through extensive testing with a neurologist before getting the diagnosis, admitting it's been "a struggle every day." Still, he had a message for fans ... he's doing well and not slowing down.

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau turned Coachella into their own little love fest ... and they're not even trying to hide it.

The pop star and former Canadian Prime Minister were spotted getting cozy during a desert date night at Coachella ... cuddling up, holding hands and basically giving "locked in" energy all over the festival grounds.

Katy even gave fans a peek, dropping an Instagram carousel captioned ... "heat checkin' these chickens," showing the couple snacking, strolling and staying glued to each other throughout the night.

North West might not have been on the Coachella lineup, but you wouldn't know it.

The 12-year-old rolled through day 2 of weekend 1 like a full-blown headliner, stopping constantly to snap pics with fans across the festival grounds in Indio, CA.

Seriously -- every few steps, it was another photo op. And North was totally game. She smiled, posed and handled the attention like a seasoned pro, turning the desert into her own personal meet and greet.

Ciara Miller isn't holding back and she’s making it crystal clear where she stands on loyalty.

The "Summer House" star hit Instagram Saturday after a Sephora run, posting a pic with a shopping bag but it was her caption that did the talking ... "@sephora actually rewards loyalty."

The timing raised eyebrows, coming just after her ex, West Wilson, and former bestie, Amanda Batula, were spotted getting very cozy in NYC. The pair were seen making out during a double date, with a witness saying they kissed at the table before Amanda tried to duck under her sweater.

Katy Perry delivered one of Coachella's most meme-worthy moments, and it had nothing to do with being on stage.

The pop star was caught on camera during Justin Bieber's headlining set Saturday night, joking, "Thank God he has Premium," as she watched his YouTube-driven performance from the crowd ... a clear nod to skipping ads while he played clips of his own videos.

Perry posted the moment to Instagram as part of a carousel from her weekend in the SoCal desert, leaning into the joke as Bieber's unconventional set quickly got people talking online.

California congressman and gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell is coming under fire for claims he's acted inappropriately with female staffers ... something he denies, but bailing on a town hall in the aftermath is raising eyebrows.

Several left-leaning influencers have recently made the unsubstantiated allegations, posting statements and videos on social media.

Swalwell's camp told POLITICO the claims are a "false, outrageous rumor" made by "flailing opponents who have sadly teamed up with MAGA conspiracy theorists," saying the whole thing is an attempt to tank his gubernatorial run because he's "the frontrunner in this race."

Kacey Musgraves just saw some "insane" orbs in the sky, and she ain't blowin' smoke ... she's got videos to back it up.

She said she was about to take a nap when she saw some lights that "just didn't look normal" ... first noticing them over the Little Rock, AR area and watching them all the way until they reached Nashville.

President Donald Trump is once again blaming Joe Biden for the ills of society, posting a horrific video showing what 47 says is an "Illegal Alien Criminal from Haiti" beating the hell out of a woman with a hammer until she's dead.

Trump posted the grotesque, uncensored 20-second clip on his Truth Social account Thursday with a long message that begins with him crapping all over the 46th President and Congressional Democrats for opening U.S. borders so the Haitian man could allegedly enter the country illegally. 

In the video, the woman rushes out of a Florida convenience store after seeing the man smashing a vehicle with a hammer in the parking lot. She yells at him to stop before he approaches her and starts wailing on her head with the hammer, even after she falls limp to the ground.

Gypsy Rose is banned on TikTok -- at least for now -- after the platform dropped the hammer on her account ... but she’s telling TMZ the whole thing isn’t what it seems.

Gypsy tells TMZ she was hit with a ban after a wave of reporting from other users ... but not necessarily because of any new rule-breaking on her part. In fact, she says her track record on the app has been relatively clean ... only 4 violations in the 2 years she’s had her account -- and nothing recent that would justify a sudden suspension.

We’re told Gypsy has already filed an appeal and reached out directly to TikTok ... and now she’s just waiting to hear back on whether her account will be reinstated.
