TV Stars

Bowen Yang says he once attended conversion therapy just so he could end up at the "gayest school in the country" ... and the story from his youth actually has a pretty funny plot twist.

The 'SNL' alum sat down with Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett on their "Smartless" podcast and recalled his experience ... explaining he was "discovered to be gay" at 17 years old, when he forgot to close a chat window on the family computer.

Bowen said his parents were "sobbing at the dinner table every day" and eventually offered up an ultimatum ... he could live with them and go to a state school in Colorado or go to school with his sister at NYU, if he agreed to go to conversion therapy.

It's Heidi Klum's birthday and we're celebrating by taking a look at her hottest snaps from over the years ... and with 53 trips around the sun, there's a lot to soak in.

Say this for Heidi ... this German-American model spends a whole lotta time in a bikini. When Heidi isn't showing off her fantastic bod, you can catch her doing the millions of other projects that keep her busy ... all while looking like a complete dime.

Heidi's way more than a pretty face ... she's a businesswoman, actress and even a painter!!!

In other words, this busy woman deserves the relaxation and sunbathing she does year-round.

Alexa Demie isn't losing any sleep over not having Sydney Sweeney-level fame ... because she says that's never been the goal.

The "Euphoria" star is pushing back on online chatter comparing her career to some of her castmates' skyrocketing success ... making it known she's perfectly happy with her career and notoriety.

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Alexa addressed comments about her relatively low profile compared to other stars from the HBO hit.

Janel Parrish and her ex Chris Long hashed out a divorce settlement and she scored a big win … because the actress is keeping all the money she makes from her TV and film gigs.

TMZ obtained the deal executed by the exes on May 21 ... and the divorce agreement says Janel will keep her residuals and royalties from all her projects, including money from "Pretty Little Liars." She's also keeping her SAG pension plan.

Janel doesn't have to cut her ex monthly checks either ... they both waived their right to collect spousal support.

She also walks away with her 2019 Audi SQ7, all jewelry, and clothes in her possession, her credit card points, several bank accounts, and one-half of their $3.2 million home, which they plan to unload ASAP.

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.

Jenny Mollen is catching flak on social media for a bizarre caption on some pics with her son ... in it, she mentions a toxic dating relationship with a son, but it sounds like this was a poor attempt at humor.

"Euphoria" was full of surprises this season, but last night's series finale was the biggest shocker of all -- with Zendaya's character dying of a drug overdose!

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.

Joe Negri, famous for playing the musical handyman on "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," is dead.

They're totally wrapped up in one another ... not caring they're engaged in a VERY public display of affection.

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.

Pete told Nikki that Kim is "superhuman" because she knows how to put aside whatever's going on in the news and get "s***" done -- which is something Pete learned from her.

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.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Cosby's motion for a new trial has been denied.

The disgraced comedian filed the motion last month, asking a judge for a new trial after a jury ordered him to pay Motsinger nearly $60 Million in total damages ... the judge's ruling came down Friday, and it's not the result Cosby was looking for.
