Luke Gulbranson is brushing off his reality TV past as he dives into politics ... saying voters in Minnesota aren’t checking his IMDb -- they’re checking their wallets.
The “Summer House” alum popped in to "TMZ Live" after he filed to run for Congress in Minnesota’s 8th District … and while plenty of folks recognize him, he says that’s not what matters on the ground.
Jane Velez-Mitchell is running an eye-popping campaign for one of her TV shows to win a Webby Award ... so, Jimmy Fallon might wanna look out for a couple of naked women fighting for animal-rights.
The founder of the UnchainedTV streaming platform -- who used to host her own show on HLN -- joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live," and told us why her network's original reality series, "Green Goddesses Take New York," deserves to take home some hardware.
As Jane explains, the show profiles a couple actresses/animal-rights activists raising havoc in NYC to protest on behalf of animals ... they have to go to great lengths for media coverage, so they strip down almost naked and get arrested.
Nancy Grace is sick of Anna Kepner's family appearing to protect the stepbrother accused of raping and killing her ... and Nancy feels he should face life behind bars like every other killer.
Nancy popped in to "TMZ Live" absolutely furious about the case and the fact that the stepbrother -- identified in court docs as "T.H., a minor" -- is out on bond.
She told us, "I don't understand it. This is charged as murder one!"
She continued, "It seems to me, from the beginning, that the family has been more worried about protecting his identity and protecting him than they are about what happened to Anna and getting justice for her."
Dan Bilzerian's standing by his very public assertion his opponent for a seat in Congress is a "fat Jew" ... and, yet, he's simultaneously insisting he's not antisemitic. Yeah, buckle up for this!
The former "King of Instagram" is running for U.S. Congress against Rep. Randy Fine in Florida's 6th Congressional District, and hurled the derogatory phrase on social media ... after Rep. Fine blasted a dude for putting up "missing" posters of Adolf Hitler.
We gave him the chance to explain himself Wednesday on "TMZ Live" ... and, while at first Bilzerian talked about his opposition to the nation of Israel, Harvey and Charles asked him specifically about the post on X.
Veteran journalist Geraldo Rivera isn't taking President Trump at his word -- not literally, at least -- insisting he's greatly exaggerating the total destruction of Iran ... something he believes the Pentagon wouldn't allow.
The longtime news anchor joined us Tuesday on "TMZ Live" to discuss Trump's proclamation that a "whole civilization will die tonight" ... in reference to his promised bombing of power plants and other civilian structures if Iran doesn't agree to a ceasefire by 8 PM ET.
Geraldo says he thinks the president's just being bombastic ... something he's seen up-close and personal with Trump during his time on 'Celebrity Apprentice.'
Rep. Tim Burchett says a member of our government has told him extraterrestrial beings have visited our planet, traveling on an otherworldly craft ... and made contact with humans!!!
The Congressman from Tennessee joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and we asked him about aliens ... and he didn't hold back.
Rep. Burchett says he's had multiple government and military officials tell him extraterrestrials exist ... it sounds out there, but he insists it's true.
Rep.Seth Magaziner understands concerns about the bad optics of him hosting a 'Real Housewives' premiere party during the government shutdown ... but he's laying blame on the guy who sent the House of Representatives packing for this two-week recess.
The Congressman from Rhode Island joined us Friday on "TMZ Live," and pointed a finger at House Speaker Mike Johnson, saying he never should have sent everyone home without voting on a bill to end the partial shutdown ... which, of course, has thousands of federal employees working without pay.
It's something we've heard a lot recently from Congress members -- the Democrats, at least -- that it's all Johnson's fault, and while there may be some truth there ... we're thinking BOTH parties should wear the stalemate, because THEY aren't doing their jobs.
