Luigi Mangione, the charged killer in the Brian Thompson murder case, took time from a vacation in Thailand to visit a shooting range ... a decision that now sticks out to some of his travel buddies.
Two German tourists who traveled extensively with Luigi in Asia in the months before the shooting look back on their interactions with Mangione in our new TMZ Investigates documentary, "Luigi Mangione: The Mind of a Killer."
Luigi's travel companions, Paul and Max, tell us Mangione hung back from a beach day in Thailand to go to a shooting range instead ... later reporting back to them that it was expensive. But, that's not the only strange thing Luigi did around the German tourists.
Liam Payne's fatal fall was witnessed by a hotel guest who was at the CasaSur Palermo in Buenos Aires for his wedding, and he is haunted by what he saw.
Bret Watson was in a room on the first floor of the hotel with his wedding planner, and as they looked out the window they saw Liam in free fall. Bret appears in our new documentary, "TMZ Presents: Liam Payne: Who's to Blame?" airing on FOX tonight at 8 PM ET and streaming on Hulu beginning Tuesday.
Bret and the wedding planner ran to the balcony and looked down ... and immediately identified Liam, who he believes died instantly.

Bret says the sound of Liam's body hitting the ground was even more haunting than the fall itself, and it's apparent from the interview he's still having pretty severe emotional difficulty.
A waiter prosecutors want to charge in connection with Liam Payne's death admits he used cocaine with the singer ... but insists he didn’t get paid and is NOT a drug dealer.
Braian Paiz told us in our upcoming documentary "TMZ Investigates: Liam Payne: Who's to Blame?" -- airing Monday night at 8 PM ET on FOX — he partied with Liam in the singer’s Buenos Aires Hotel room.
Paiz says they drank whiskey and used the cocaine he brought to the hotel. He says they did it on 2 occasions … the second just 2 days before Liam’s fatal fall from the hotel balcony.
Liam Payne's close friend, now in the crosshairs of Argentinian authorities -- insists when he left the singer at the CasaSur Palermo Hotelan hour before his death, he seemed fine ... But authorities and eyewitnesses say that's anything but true.

Diddycould remain behind bars for a year or maybe more as he awaits trial, but that's not breaking his spirit ... it's quite the opposite, at least according to his lawyer.
Diddy's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, appears in a new TMZ Studios documentary -- "The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment" -- which has just dropped on Tubi ... and we asked him about his client's state of mind in jail.
Agnifilo says Diddy's remaining remarkably positive and isn't letting the indictment weaken his resolve. Instead, Agnifilo says Diddy is so focused on his defense, it's actually giving him a form of strength and confidence that will help him deal with being behind bars for an extended period.
Matthew Perry relied on doctors to fuel his addiction, and turns out that's just the tip of the iceberg.
TMZ Studios has a new documentary -- "TMZ Investigates Matthew Perry and the Secret Celebrity Drug Ring" -- which drops today, Tuesday, on Hulu.
Several celebrities, including Kelly Osbourne, talk about how it's common knowledge in Hollywood that doctors provide specific drugs to celebrities. For her part, Kelly was able to score Vicodin and Oxy from various Hollywood doctors. And get this ... she was 13 at the time and the doctors never told her mom and dad what they were prescribing their daughter.
Matthew Perry went to rehab scores of times but it never stuck, and a new TMZ documentary explores how some of these facilities can do addicts way more harm than good.
TMZ Studios has a new documentary -- "TMZ Investigates Matthew Perry and the Secret Celebrity Drug Ring" -- which airs on FOX Monday night at 9 PM ET and drops Tuesday on Hulu.
The documentary exposes how a ring of doctors, enablers and rehab centers fuel the addiction of celebs, who pay them all a fortune for services that are the opposite of helpful.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have a secret sauce that makes their relationship work in ways their prior relationships didn't, and that becomes evident in Monday night's FOX primetime special, "TMZ Investigates: Taylor and Travis, Ultimate Love Story."
Think about it ... Taylor's past relationships include Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Alwyn, Harry Styles and others. See any common threads? Yep, they're all in Taylor's lane -- entertainment. It's impossible to match Taylor's success, and that inevitably gives way to conflict, jealousy, competitiveness, and on and on.
Travis breaks the mold. He's not only in a different field ... he's top of the heap. He's not competing with Taylor or comparing her success with his. He's conquered his profession and is comfortable and, as Skip Bayless puts it ... they can relate to each other on a star level.
As Dr. Phil says ... not only are they NOT jealous of each other's success, each actually celebrates the success of the other. They are each other's cheerleader.
TMZ Studios
We get into why the relationship works and what challenges lie ahead, in "TMZ Investigates: Taylor & Travis: Ultimate Love Story" ... airing Monday at 9 PM/8 Central on FOX.
Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce tienen un secreto que hace que su relación funcione de manera que sus relaciones anteriores no lo hicieron, y de la que se va a profundizar la noche del lunes en el especial de FOX "TMZ Investiga: Taylor and Travis, Ultimate Love Story".
Piensalo bien... Las relaciones pasadas de Taylor incluyen a Joe Jonas, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Alwyn,Harry Styles y otros. ¿Ves algo en común? Sí, todos están en el carril de Taylor: el entretenimiento. Es imposible igualar el éxito de Taylor, y eso inevitablemente da paso a conflictos, celos, competitividad, y un largo etcétera.
Travis rompe el molde. No solo está en un campo diferente... además está en lo más alto. No compite con Taylor ni compara su éxito con el suyo. Ha conquistado su profesión y se siente cómodo y, como dice Skip Bayless, pueden relacionarse entre sí en un nivel de estrella.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are the epitome of the ultimate modern-day fairytale ... but they aren't immune to challenges -- starting with insane schedules.
We're diving deep into a solid relationship that could hit speed bumps in "TMZ Investigates: Taylor & Travis: Ultimate Love Story," airing Monday on FOX at 9/8c on Fox.
TMZ Studios
Dr Phil kicks it off ... telling us the biggest threat to the pop idol and the NFL star is their jam-packed schedules ... not allowing them to spend enough quality time together.
'Millionaire Matchmaker' star Patti Stanger adds their long-distance romance is a challenge. She says the little things couples do together will be few and far between, with Taylor touring the world and Travis with his own peripatetic career.
There's also the obvious lack of privacy, which is often a major reason for Hollywood couples calling it quits. Taylor's been in the spotlight since forever, so she's kinda used to it. But Travis Kelce? He's already experienced the shocking lack of privacy since he began dating her.
Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce son la personificación del último cuento de hadas de por estos días, pero no son inmunes a los desafíos, partiendo por sus increíbles agendas.
En "TMZ Investigates: Taylor & Travis: Ultimate Love Story," que se estrena el lunes en FOX a las 9/8c en Fox, nos sumergimos profundamente en esta sólida relación que podría enfrentar algunos baches en el camino.
TMZ Studios
El Dr. Phil comienza diciendo que la mayor amenaza para el ídolo del pop y la estrella de la NFL es su apretada agenda, que no les permite pasar suficiente tiempo de calidad juntos.
La estrella de "Millionaire Matchmaker" Patti Stanger añade que su romance a distancia es un reto. Dice que las pequeñas cosas que harán juntos serán pocas y distantes entre sí, con Taylor de gira por el mundo y Travis con su propia carrera.
También está la evidente falta de privacidad, que suele ser una de las principales razones por la que las parejas de Hollywood terminan. Taylor ha estado en el punto de mira desde siempre, así que está un poco acostumbrada. ¿Pero Travis Kelce? Él ya ha experimentado la escandalosa falta de privacidad desde que empezó a salir con ella.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have a unique relationship in which both are alphas, yet there is no friction between them, in large part because they're both successful in very different fields.
TMZ has taken a deep dive into the most celebrated relationship in the world -- which is the basis of our new documentary that airs Monday night on Fox -- and the consensus among people in the know is that alphas are irrelevant, because there's no competition between T&T.
As Dr. Philputs it ... both Travis and Taylor are big deals in their own lanes, so there's no reason they'll clash. In fact, they do the opposite -- they're each other's cheerleaders.
'Juicy Scoop' host Heather McDonald agreed ... partly because Taylor intentionally "masculates" Travis. This is a hot take you gotta hear!
And author Brittany Hodak heaps high praise on Kelce ... saying he's such a secure guy in both his professional and personal life ... he can handle Taylor's enormous success.
TMZ Studios
"TMZ Investigates: Taylor & Travis: Ultimate Love Story" premieres this Monday, February 26 at 9/8 central on FOX and will stream the next day on Hulu.
Taylor Swift y Travis Kelce tienen una relación única: ambos son alfas, pero no hay fricción entre ellos, en gran parte, porque ambos son exitosos en sus campos.
TMZ se sumergió profundamente en la relación más famosa del mundo para el nuevo documental que se emite el lunes por la noche en Fox, y el consenso entre las personas que saben es que el tema de los alfas es irrelevante, porque no hay competencia entre T & T.
Como dice el Dr. Phil, tanto Travis como Taylor son exitosos en sus propios mundos, así que no hay razón para que choquen. De hecho, hacen lo contrario, se animan el uno al otro.
La presentadora de "Juicy Scoop" Heather McDonald está de acuerdo, en parte porque Taylor "masculiniza" intencionadamente a Travis. ¡Tienen que escuchar esto!
Y el autor Brittany Hodak le lanza un montón de elogios a Kelce, diciendo que es un tipo seguro, tanto en su vida profesional como personal, así que puede manejar el enorme éxito de Taylor.

"TMZ Investiga: Taylor & Travis: Ultimate Love Story" se estrena este lunes, 26 de febrero a las 9/8 central en FOX y se transmitirá al día siguiente en Hulu.
El divorcio de Kevin Costner fue bastante feo y gran parte tuvo que ver con las denuncias de infidelidad desde ambos frentes. Por supuesto lo negaron y todo aparece en un nuevo "TMZ Investiga".
La separación del actor de su esposa, Christine Baumgartner, comenzó con rumores infundados de que Kevin había embarazado a alguien en el set de "Yellowstone", rumor en el que nos sumergimos en detalle en un nuevo documental que se emitirá el lunes en FOX, "Kevin Costner's Divorce War".
Ahora -respecto a Christine- también hubo rumores de engaño, y por partida doble. Resulta que hubo un tipo que se alojaba en su casa de huéspedes y con el cual ella habría dormido... Christine dijo que eso nunca sucedió.
También estaba Josh Connor, un amigo de Kevin y Christine que, tan pronto como comenzaron a divorciarse, comenzó a salir mucho con Christine en vacaciones. Una vez más, las fuentes conectadas a ambos dicen que no había absolutamente nada romántico pasando antes o durante el divorcio.
TMZ Studios
"TMZ Investiga: Kevin Costner's Divorce War" se emite el lunes a las 9/8c en Fox y comienza a transmitirse al día siguiente en Hulu.
Kevin Costner's divorce was as ugly as they come -- and much of it had to do with claims of infidelity on both sides ... something denied by all sides and featured in a new 'TMZ Investigates.'
The A-lister's split from his wife, Christine Baumgartner, kickstarted with unfounded rumors of KC impregnating someone on the set of "Yellowstone" -- something we dive into in detail in a new documentary airing Monday on FOX, 'Kevin Costner's Divorce War.'
Now, when it comes to CB herself -- there were rumblings of alleged cheating as well ... on two different fronts, actually. There was a guy who was staying in their guest house -- whom she was alleged to have slept with -- he shut that down, saying it never happened.
There was also Josh Connor ... a friend of Kevin and Christine who -- as soon as they were in the midst of divorce -- started to hang out a lot with Christine on vacations. Again, sources connected to both of them say there was absolutely nothing romantic going on before or during the divorce.
"TMZ Investigates: Kevin Costner's Divorce War" airs Monday at 9/8c on Fox and starts streaming the next day on Hulu.
There's no love lost between Kevin Costner and his ex-wife Christine Baumgartner ... who finalized their divorce earlier this week after six bitter months when Christine challenged the prenup she signed ahead of their 2004 wedding.
But matters regarding prenuptial agreements can get tricky really fast -- something our own Harvey Levin digs deep into on "TMZ Investigates: Kevin Costner's Divorce War", airing on FOX Monday at 9/8c on Fox and the next day Hulu.
As you can see from the clip, HL and celeb divorce attorney Chris Melcher dive into the prenup world by role-playing as an engaged couple. Chris lays it all out ... explaining he must have a prenup in place so they both understand their financial expectations and know their marriage will be protected.
HL fires back ... saying he's entitled to half of what he earns simply 'cause they're partners -- adding their contrasting views on the matter means he doesn't truly love him.
TMZ Studios
But Chris ain't budging ... saying if things were to go south, he'd want peace of mind that things wouldn't get messy. In fact, he feels so strongly about the matter he tells HL an open-ended deal means he'd call off their wedding entirely.
But as we all know, even though Christine signed a prenup with Kevin, things quickly turned acrimonious between the pair as she asked for an eye-popping $248,000 a month after filing for divorce -- listing $100,000 for cosmetic surgery as an expense declaration. She ended up getting $63,000 a month in child support.
