TV Stars

Nick Cannon's totally fine letting his 15-year-old son Moroccan take a girl on a date ... but Moroccan's twin sister Monroe ain't getting the same freedom.

TMZ's Towanda Robinson sat down with the film and TV star for a conversation on "The TMZ Podcast" ... and we got into how he handles his older kids looking for love.

Cannon tells us he's encouraged his son to go on dates ... but he hasn't done the same for his daughter -- which he openly admits is "absolutely a double standard."

"Dance Moms" alum Kalani Goldman is making a major move off-screen ... she’s officially opening her own dance studio.

Kalani recently signed a lease on April 19 and tells TMZ she chose a spot in North Scottsdale, close to where she grew up -- right near the intersection of Thunderbird and Scottsdale Road -- saying the location just “felt right” as she looks to build the next generation of dancers.

The space is no small operation either ... Kalani says the studio clocks in at about 3,500 square feet and includes three separate rooms for classes and training.

Gwen Farrell Adair, best known for her work in the classic TV show "M*A*S*H" ... and, more importantly, for being the first licensed woman boxing referee, has died.

Keith Farrell, her son, tells TMZ ... Gwen died yesterday in Sherman Oaks ... of natural causes.

Gwen appeared on "M*A*S*H" and "Billy Jack" ... but her real legacy began in 1980, when she stepped into the boxing world as a referee -- an unheard of move at the time. Per her family ... she earned the respect of fighters, trainers, and fans alike while she broke barriers.

A GoFundMe has been set up to help the family with funeral and memorial expenses ... the post states in part ... "Her passing leaves a deep void in our hearts, one that cannot be filled. We will miss her voice, her strength, and the quiet comfort she brought into our lives. While we are heartbroken, we are also incredibly grateful for the life she lived and the legacy she leaves behind."

Gwen was 94.

Sherri Shepherd won't be sitting around and twiddling her thumbs now that she's taped the final live episode of her talk show "Sherri" ... she's weighing her career options -- including turning her show into a podcast.

We caught up with the star in New York City Thursday ... and we had to ask what she's got coming up after she's officially completed "Sherri," which has been cancelled after four seasons.

Shepherd says she's not sure if she would start producing a version of "Sherri" for YouTube or make a podcast ... since the market is saturated with millions of other listening options.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's recent rough press appearances have the "Jersey Shore" crew buzzing ... and now 'The Situation' is stepping in with a reality check.

"I want to be clear that I am not responsible for the actions of any other cast member."

That's the line Mike drew in a lengthy Instagram comment posted after fans noticed he hadn't initially addressed Ronnie's behavior -- despite highlighting his own rehabilitation facility in a post.

Jimmy Fowlie, a writer for "Saturday Night Live" whose sister has been missing for months, recently claimed cops told the family she's dead ... but Los Angeles police are calling that significant jump BS.

Here's the deal ... Christina Lynn Downer was last seen in L.A.'s Koreatown neighborhood four months ago ... and Jimmy has been giving updates on the search for her -- which included a jarring post yesterday stating cops allegedly told the family she's "no longer alive."

But now the LAPD is pushing back, telling TMZ ... “Robbery-Homicide Division continues to investigate the disappearance of Christina Downer. Although the circumstances of her disappearance are suspicious, Ms. Downer has not been located, and her case has not been reclassified as a homicide. RHD will diligently investigate this case until a resolution can be reached.”

In his latest post, Jimmy thanks everyone for their continued support and added ... "I'm gonna take a step back from social media due to the intense overwhelming feelings. Please take any info you may have directly to LAPD and not me."

We reached out to Jimmy for comment ... so far, no word back.

Ciara Miller seems to have put the whole "Summer House" drama in the rearview ... the reality star was seen partying it up at the Guggenheim with other major celebs.

TMZ obtained exclusive video of Ciara dancing, laughing and posing for pics Thursday night at Cultured's CULT100 event at the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan. And did we mention that Ciara looked drop-dead gorgeous?

Check out the clip ... Ciara is just stunning in her form-fitting dress and is clearly having the time of her life. You would never guess she felt betrayed by her close friend, Amanda Batula, who started dating Ciara's ex-boyfriend, West Wilson, during Season 10 of "Summer House."

In new court documents, obtained by TMZ, Fleming is requesting just 3 months in prison, a 9-month residential drug treatment program, and 3 years of supervised release.

In a letter to the judge, he doesn't sugarcoat his role, writing … "I knew it was illegal and wrong ... I should never have agreed to acquire ketamine for Matt."

"The Valley" star Janet Caperna is responding to all the rumors her castmate Michelle Saniei is dating none other than Dr. Dre ... saying she received a surprise text from her mom about the possible romance.

Janet sat down with Bravo host Andy Cohen on Wednesday's episode of "Watch What Happens Live," and at one point, Andy flat-out asked Caperna if Saniei is dating the rap mogul.

And Caperna didn't miss a beat, saying her mom was the one who informed her via text message about the speculation. Janet says she can't wait to fly back to L.A. to get the "tea" from her fellow 'Valley' castmate about her potential relationship with Dre.

TMZ broke the story ... most of "The Valley" cast was in the dark, as sources told us many of Michelle's castmates had no idea she was even hanging out with the hip-hop mogul, leaving them shocked and confused as they try to piece together how the pairing came to be.
