TV Stars

Meghan Markle's return to acting might not be happening after all ... because a new report indicates "The Gentleman" ran scared from the star due to fan outrage.

Here's the deal ... reports began circulating this week that Meghan was being considered for a part in Guy Ritchie's hit series -- though the talks were in very early stages.

However, on Saturday, Tina Brown -- formerly the editor-in-chief at Vanity Fair and The New Yorker -- says the dream is already dead ... and it was a much more serious offer than initial reports indicated.

Sydney Sweeney is charging through a fun 2026 without a care in the world ... and with a Wonder Woman costume that accentuated every curve.

The actress shared a series of photos and videos in a post Saturday she captioned "Camp '26" ... showing scenes from throughout her busy year with friends and her beau, Scooter Braun.

Two parts of the post really stick out ... one quite literally -- because Sydney's chest is basically busting out of her Wonder Woman top in one snap. Scooter posed beside her in a very realistic Superman costume.

Kroy Biermann has been spotted for the first time since his eldest son was arrested for sexual battery ... and he looked to be handling some business on his phone while picking up one of his sons from football practice.

The former NFL linebacker was seen picking up his 14-year-old son Kash from practice on Saturday ... and, while standing with him, he kept an eye on his phone and a look of concentration on his face.

As we reported ... Kroy Biermann Jr. was arrested by cops earlier this week after a girl from his school accused him of assaulting her inside a gym changing area in April.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's teenage son, Kroy Biermann Jr., was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting a female classmate ... and now, his mug shot has been released.

15-year-old Kroy stared straight ahead in a black shirt with no visible emotion when his booking photo was snapped by the Alpharetta Police Department, as you can see.

We broke the news -- Kroy Jr. was arrested by cops this week for alleged aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery after a female classmate claimed he assaulted her inside a gym changing area in April.

Actor Michael Wright, best known for his roles in "Sugar Hill" and "The Five Heartbeats," has died in California, according to his family.

His family issued a statement to TMZ ... saying that Wright died Wednesday in Los Angeles after he suffered heart failure coupled with complications of a rare degenerative neurological disease called Marchiafava-Bignami.

Born in NYC in 1956, Wright spent his life devoted to acting, with breakthrough roles in the 1979 movie, "The Wanderers," and the 1983 Robert Altman film, "Streamers." Wright also played Victor Duncan in the 1987 comedy flick, "The Principal," with Jim Belushi and Louis Gossett Jr.

Gleb Savchenko's ex-wife has learned that their daughter has been living in a home he shares with his OnlyFans girlfriend ... and she's pissed.

Elena Samodanova told Us Weekly she's worried about their daughter Olivia's living situation, saying ... "Gleb disclosed Olivia’s location only after the Court ordered him to provide her address and contact information."

She's not thrilled that Olivia's living with Gleb's OF girlfriend, Kaitlin Trujillo, telling the outlet ... "The address he provided confirmed that our teenage daughter is living in a property owned by his girlfriend, rather than in a permanent home maintained by him."

"The Challenge" star Tyler Duckworth was tragically found "up against the door" of his bathroom when he died.

A case report from the Grand Forks Police Department -- obtained by Page Six -- said that's how the 44-year-old's body was found in his North Dakota apartment.

The person reporting also said they had a tough time reaching the former MTV competitor, according to the outlet.

American actor and musician Reid Ewing was 20 years old when he first started playing Dylan -- Haley's on-and-off boyfriend who isn't the sharpest tool in the shed -- on the hit show "Modern Family" back in 2009.

Ewing was part of an ensemble cast including Sarah Hyland, Sofía Vergara, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Taylor Sheridan, Paramount, and NBCUniversal are all being sued by a woman who claims she came up with the building blocks for "Yellowstone" ... and she says they stole her idea.

Lauren J. Salkin -- an entertainment journalist and TV writer -- filed the federal lawsuit in California against several parties Friday ... claiming that in 2016 and 2017 she submitted a pilot script and additional materials for a show titled "Sovereign Nation" to Taylor's production company.

She says she knows these materials were reviewed because she received a note from Elevate Entertainment that reads, "Taylor thanks you very much for your interest. Unfortunately, he's unavailable for TV projects."

However, she says within months, Paramount greenlit Sheridan's show "Yellowstone" ... which aired its first episode in June 2018. Salkin says the similarities between her show and Taylor's are too numerous to be a coincidence.

Hayden Panettiere's boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, was arrested twice last year in Los Angeles ... prosecutors revealed in open court during a hearing days before her death.

Here's the deal ... last month, Brian filed a petition to expunge his domestic violence arrest from his record. In 2021, he pled no contest to two felony counts of corporal injury to a spouse/cohabitant and was sentenced to 45 days in jail and 4 years of probation, and he had to fulfill other requirements as well.

Brian petitioned the court, claiming he'd met his obligations under the law ... and he wanted the felonies taken off his record ... a motion prosecutors opposed.

During a court hearing last Thursday -- which neither Hickerson nor his attorney attended -- PEOPLE reports prosecutors strongly opposed expunging the record ... citing Brian's alleged drug use and two different arrests that took place last year in Los Angeles.

Chris Hansen was turned away from a screening of the new movie that's all about him ... and while he says he didn't want to "sign away" his rights, he actually refused to sign a standard NDA.

Here's the deal ... the TV host went on Fox News to complain about getting turned away from a private screening of "Primetime" -- the new movie starring Robert Pattinson as him -- claiming he showed up ready to watch the flick ... only to be asked to sign a "very restrictive agreement."

Chris says, "The lawyers at A24 wanted me to sign away my rights to my name, image, and brand, essentially, as well as any potential legal rights that would come out of the movie. I couldn't sign that, so they didn't show me the film. I went all the way over there."

However, a studio source tells TMZ ... Chris' version of events are BS -- because he was simply given the standard NDA that everyone else was asked to sign to avoid spoilers. At no time was he asked to sign away his name, image or brand. And since he didn't want to play ball ... he didn't get to watch. Simple as that.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' alum Kim Zolciak is firing back at allegations that her son Kroy Jr. sexually assaulted a classmate inside a gym ... claiming he even took a lie-detector test to prove it never happened.

The reality star tells TMZ ... "The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling. He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged."

Kim claims her son "voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed."

Dunk your way into these super sweet snaps of Kylie Jenner and Alix Earle ... both of these babes secured big Dunkin' deals this summer, but whose beverage are you sippin' on first?!

Kylie's "The King Kylie" Collection or Alix's "Shakin' Espresso"?!

The question here is: Who'd You Rather?!

Hayden Panettiere's ex-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko is celebrating her life on what would have been her 37th birthday.

Wladimir, who is the father of Hayden's only child, Kaya, took to Instagram to memorialize Hayden alongside a throwback photo of Hayden grinning at the camera.

He penned ... "Instead of celebrating the way we had planned, today we celebrate her life, her spirit, and the love she brought into this world."

Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi are taking their relationship across the pond ... enjoying a date night in London, but stopping short of taking their relationship to the next level.

The two stars were spotted holding hands in England on Thursday night ... with Kendall looking like a lovely London fog in a form-fitting gray dress.

Jacob wore a stylish, dark blue pinstripe suit as he and Kendall walked around the city ... sunglasses on to protect themselves from the paparazzi's flashes.

Hayden Panettiere's boyfriend was slurring his words in some bizarre videos he posted to social media months before the actress died with him in the room.

We've obtained videos Brian Hickerson previously shared to his Instagram story from May and June of this year ... including one in which he imitated a woman -- one whom he wouldn't name -- telling him he sounded drunk.

He then goes through the process of posting a song to social media ... after seemingly acknowledging and disregarding copyright laws.
