Nancy Guthrie is Khloé Kardashian's latest true crime obsession ... and doesn't understand how there are so few leads about her tragic disappearance.

Alix Earle's feud with Alex Cooper is hot on everyone's lips -- even the folks on daytime TV are grilling her about it ... and her response was VERY telling!

Craig Melvin wasted zero time bringing up the messy back-and-forth drama surrounding her and Alex on "TODAY" Tuesday ... and she tried to laugh it off, explaining she didn’t want to ruin a good day talking about something not so great.

When Craig pushed further and asked whether the whole thing had been exaggerated ... Alix confirmed it was, before sarcastically adding, "I love everyone!" Yeah ... nobody was exactly buying that!!

Savannah Guthrie's turning her Wordle addiction into a full-on TV gig ... because the "TODAY" co-anchor is officially set to host a new "Wordle" game show executive produced by Jimmy Fallon.

The "Michael" stars chopped it up with Craig Melvin on "TODAY" and he asked them why the film end the story in 1988 ... many years before the first round of troubling allegations cropped up.

Colman says the biopic is all about Michael's rise -- told through MJ's eyes. It illustrates his roots, his influences, how he was raised, and how he searched for his voice as an artist.

The hunt for Nancy Guthrie in her cold case may have just hit a turning point ... because the FBI is using new technology to zero in on DNA evidence.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that agents are analyzing what could be a crucial sample recovered from the 84-year-old’s Tucson, Arizona home ... and it’s already been sent through a private lab working with the Pima County Sheriff's Department before landing in federal hands.

This is the same DNA evidence that was recovered from Nancy’s home earlier in the probe. But here’s the catch ... the DNA isn’t clean. Investigators say it’s a mixed sample from multiple people, meaning it’ll take time to separate and figure out what actually matters.

She hasn’t been gone long, though ... Hoda also stepped in while Savannah took time off following the disappearance of her mom, Nancy Guthrie ... and Savannah only just returned to the show earlier this month.

LC was quick to sidestep sending her 'Hills' nemesis her support, noting ... "I'm not a resident of Los Angeles."
