TV Stars

The stars of "Heated Rivalry" didn't turn down Variety's "Actors on Actors" because of their Emmy ineligibility, despite speculation suggesting otherwise ... TMZ has learned.

Our sources tell us Connor Storrie, Hudson Williams and François Arnaud aren't avoiding the high-profile series over concerns about awards campaigning or optics ... instead, we're told the actors are just too busy.

Variety's co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh claims he tried to book the trio but was turned down ... and he says he's certain they would have accepted if "Heated Rivalry" was eligible for the next Emmy Awards. The show is not eligible because the Canadian streamer that produces the series did not submit it for consideration.

However, our sources say the Emmys, or lack thereof, played no part in their decision not to accept an invite to go on the show.

Sunday's "Euphoria" Season 3 finale saw Zendaya's Rue Bennett ingesting Percocet pills laced with fentanyl, which were purposely left out for her by crime lord Alamo Brown, causing her to overdose.

Pete Davidson is no longer dating Kim Kardashian ... but he certainly sounds like a man who is ... calling the reality star "superhuman" and a terrific actress during his latest podcast.

Pete sat down Friday with fellow comedian Nikki Glaser on "The Pete Davidson Show," and, at one point, Pete started raving about Kim, whom he dated for 9 months from 2021 to 2022.

The mystery surrounding former “Alaskan Bush People” star Matt Brown is only growing more complicated ... because authorities say they've suspended their search for an unidentified male seen in Washington’s Okanogan River.

According to the Okanogan County Sheriff’s Office ... deputies, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife personnel, divers, sonar teams, boats, personal watercraft, and even a cadaver dog spent Friday searching an expanding section of the river near Oroville, WA.

Despite the extensive effort, officials say no trace of the male was found.

The sheriff’s office says river conditions worsened throughout the day after rainfall increased water levels and current speeds, creating dangerous conditions for search crews. Investigators now believe the active river flow increases the possibility the individual is no longer near the area where he was last seen.

Swing and a miss for Bill Cosby ... he struck out in his attempt at a second chance to defend himself from Donna Motsinger's rape allegations.
