TV Stars

Dwayne Johnson made a not-so-shocking appearance last night at Netflix's "The Roast of Kevin Hart" ... but then went hardcore, even dropping the R-word, which, if you know his past, is wild.

The movie star was the last person to light into Kevin before it was the comic's turn to throw zingers at everyone else who'd burned him -- and DJ made it count big time.

The short-guy jokes and the quips of talentless-ness were all par for the evening's course -- and even Dwayne hitting on KH's wife was funny -- though not shocking -- but then he dropped the R-word while making fun of controversial NBAer Draymond Green.

Mel Gibson and a smoking hot Italian actress in Rome?!? That's amore!!!

Check out these new photos of Mel packing on the PDA with Italian celeb Antonella Salvucci during a romantic outing in the Eternal City.

Mel and Antonella are making out, hugging, embracing, and otherwise all over each other ... venturing around the city like a couple long-lost lovers.

The pair kicked things off with a seafood dinner at Micalusi-Real Fish before Antonella took Mel on a late-night tour of Rome ... including a stop at a famous panoramic viewpoint, The Zodiac. Romans call it "lover's driveway" ... basically the Italian version of a make-out point.

Sydney Sweeney turned HBO into the Hot Box Office Sunday night ... 'cause "Euphoria" fans got an eyeful during the latest episode, when Cassie dove headfirst into the wild world of fetish content creation.

Take a look ... the fifth episode of Season 3 showed Sydney's character serving up one jaw-dropping look after another while filming spicy OnlyFans-style videos from her bedroom setup.

Cassie rocked a dangerously low-cut polka dot jumpsuit while skipping rope for the camera ... then switched gears in a skintight police costume that left basically nothing to the imagination.

Mariah Carey spent Mother's Day the diva way ... with a fancy family dinner in West Hollywood, while her ex Nick Cannon was busy sticking to his own holiday tradition.

The singer hit up L.A. hotspot Craig's on Sunday night with her twins she shares with Cannon -- Moroccan and Monroe -- looking glamorous as ever while cameras snapped the family arriving for dinner.

Mariah kept it chic and cool mom-coded in an all-tan ensemble with silver pumps and oversized shades ... while the twins stayed close by, as the trio made their way inside.

Sam Asghari is turning up the temperature and using his platform for something bigger than thirst traps ... and the internet is already sweating!

The actor and fitness stud just teamed up with MISTR, the nation's largest provider of free online PrEP and long-term HIV care, for a campaign that's equal parts steamy and seriously meaningful.

And the pics? Let's just say ... Sam understood the assignment. We're talking flexed arms, chiseled abs, and minimalist styling (yep, that towel is putting in overtime 👀) ... all giving fantasy shoot energy with a playful edge.

Brianne Howey was out celebrating just days before confirming her pregnancy with baby number 2 ... and it turns out the timing couldn’t have been more fitting.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ … the "Ginny & Georgia" star was at Funke on Friday night, where she celebrated her husband Matt Ziering’s birthday in a low-key outing.

We’re told the evening was a relaxed celebration among friends, as she showed off her baby bump just days ahead of her Mother’s Day pregnancy announcement on Instagram.

Martin Short is speaking candidly about the devastating loss of his daughter, Katherine, revealing she battled serious mental health struggles for years before her death.

In an emotional interview with "CBS News Sunday Morning", the comedy legend described the tragedy as “a nightmare for the family,” while reflecting on the painful reality of severe mental illness.

Short explained that he’s come to view mental health conditions the same way people understand physical diseases like cancer -- something he knows personally after losing his wife, Nancy Dolman, to ovarian cancer in 2010.

Let's be real ... TV moms pretty much helped raise us. Sure, our actual parents probably did the heavy lifting, but these famous and fictional mamas taught us a few life lessons along the way.

Iconic moms like Katey Sagal's Peg Bundy on "Married... with Children" and Suzanne Somers' Carol Foster Lambert on "Step By Step" really treated us like one of their own ... all from the other side of our TVs.

Dorit Kemsley's not hiding from the world after her alleged text messages with her ex PK have gone viral ... instead looking relaxed in a casual ensemble.

The 'Real Housewives' star stepped out in Los Angeles Friday afternoon in a slate blue sweater and form-fitting jeans.

She had a grin on her face while exiting a vehicle ... a backpack in her hand.

Jamie Lynn Spears' daughter is officially a high school grad, and a bunch of family showed up to support her ... including JL's famous nephew, Sean Preston Federline, and the family's patriach, Jamie Spears.

Spears' eldest, Maddie Aldridge-Watson, walked across the stage in Hammond, Louisana to collect her diploma on Friday ... flashing a huge grin as the crowd cheered for her.

The moment had Jamie looking emotional -- her little girl's all grown up -- and taking a ton of pics, like every other parent in attendance, we imagine.

It's been about 20 years since "The Hills" first graced the airwaves ... and Audrina Patridge still looks hot as ever!

Plus, she just turned 41 ... so why not celebrate another trip around the sun with some hot shots?!

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni settle their legal war, mostly ... plus, Jeffrey Epstein's suicide note raises more questions than answers and Timothée Chalamet makes Kylie Jenner fly solo to the Met Gala. So, we gotta ask ...

Hayden Panetteire's estranged mom says it was no real secret the actress was bisexual ... and she's questioning the timing of her daughter talking about her sexual preferences.

Hayden publicly came out as bisexual this week in an interview promoting her new memoir.

Her mother, Lesley Vogel, -- again, estranged -- ripped Hayden in an interview with The Daily Mail, saying ... "I do not believe it was being hidden, but there is no historic proof that this is the case."

"Saturday Night Live" writer Jimmy Fowlie's sister, Christina Lynn Downer, who's been missing for months, once filed a restraining order ... and it's now being pored over by sleuths for possible clues.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ ... in September 2024, Downer filed a temporary restraining order against her then-boyfriend's ex-girlfriend -- claiming she'd been harassing them, even threatening physical harm. The Daily Mail was first to report the order.

Christina also alleged the woman stalked her ... making a copy of her house key and threatening to break into her home. She also accused the woman of stealing several things, including a flash drive with nude photos.
