Brenda Dickson just scored a victory in court ... a judge just tossed the case tied to the alleged altercation that landed the former soap star in handcuffs.

As TMZ previously reported ... "The Young and the Restless" alum was arrested for misdemeanor battery in July after cops were called to a Hollywood property over an alleged assault. Brenda told us she was falsely arrested.

At the time, it wasn't clear who Brenda allegedly hit or what led up to the arrest ... but new court docs in a related request for a civil harassment restraining order obtained by TMZ fill in some of those blanks.

Millie Bobby Brown's no stranger to hanging with famous friends ... which seems to have prepared her well for dinner with her father-in-law, Jon Bon Jovi.

The actress hit up celebrity hot spot Dorian in the United Kingdom on Monday night with her husband, Jake Bongiovi, and his old man ... wearing a professional-looking get-up with a white sweater and polka-dot pants that ended just above the knee.

MBB flashed a huge grin while standing next to her man, who drew eyes in a bright orange top. Bon Jovi opted for a classic black T-shirt.

Instead of hiding from the paparazzi, it appears these three used the opportunity to get some professional pics taken of their family unit ... and we gotta say, they turned out great!

North West certainly doesn't lead a regular life given that her parents are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West ... but the 13-year-old rapper says she wants a regular job -- at Starbucks!

That's right ... North sat down for a recent interview with Dazed Digital, and reporter Marios Mystidis asked North if she would be a basketball player if she wasn't a music artist.

North responded that she had zero interest in becoming a hoops player ... and said she wanted to work at Starbucks ... and it's no joke!

The mother of Samuel Monroe Jr. -- the actor who has been hospitalized in Los Angeles on life support for months -- says he's been living with her for years ... and she's now asking a judge to put her in charge of his decisions ... instead of the woman who says she's his wife.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ ... Joyce Patton filed a petition asking to establish a conservatorship for her son ... questioning whether he was ever legally married to his children's mother, Shawna Stewart.

Joyce also claims ... Sam has not lived with Shawna in more than 15 years -- and says for the past four years, he has been living with her.

A resurfaced photo of Hayden Panettiere and James Blunt together on a yacht is getting fresh attention ... following the actress's death and renewed interest in a disturbing story she shared about an alleged yacht encounter when she was 18.

The photo -- taken in France in 2009 -- shows Hayden and James together on a boat ... gathered around a table with at least 3 other people.

At the time, Hayden was a few months away from her 20th birthday ... but some folks are convinced it's the smoking gun in her story about being forced into bed with a naked British singer-songwriter. Hayden didn't name the celeb in her memoir, but the internet's convinced it's James, even though there is no evidence establishing that connection.

American actor Davis Cleveland was only 8 years old when he first played Flynn Jones -- the younger mischievous and food-obsessed younger brother of CeCe Jones -- on Disney's hit show "Shake It Up" back in 2010.

Davis was part of an ensemble cast including Bella Thorne, Zendaya, and Roshon Fegan.

Serayah is done with Joey Bada$$ ... announcing she's ended their engagement and accusing him of repeatedly cheating throughout their relationship.

The actress and singer posted a lengthy statement on social media Monday, saying she made the "difficult decision" to end things with Joey -- the father of her child.

Serayah says she loved him deeply and believed in the life they were building ... but ultimately had to face what she calls repeated infidelity, including during some of the "most vulnerable and meaningful moments" of her life -- and she didn't stop there.

James Blunt is throwing cold water on claims that he's the naked British singer Hayden Panettiere said she was forced into a bed with on a yacht when she was just 18.

James shared a Substack article on social media Monday that argues he is NOT the unnamed singer-songwriter from Hayden's memoir.

In her 2026 book, Hayden wrote she was 18 when a friend brought her onto a yacht to meet a British singer-songwriter in his 30s ... only for her to walk into a cabin and find the man naked in bed.

Hayden Panettiere was honored on the Grand Ole Opry stage over the weekend by her
"Nashville" costar ... and the emotional moment was a legit tearjerker.

Check out the video, but make sure you have some tissues nearby ... Charles "Chip" Esten sang "Somewhere in the Sunshine" as a picture of him and Hayden remained on the screen.

Chip was among dozens and dozens of celebs who shared their shock and heartbreak over the actress' sudden death in a South Carolina apartment on August 16 ... and in a strange twist, Chip was playing a show at the venue connected to the apartment complex the weekend she died.

Sydney Sweeney is taking her daredevil streak to insane new heights ... strapping herself to the top of a plane and hanging on for dear life while zooming through the sky.

The "Euphoria" star posted the jaw-dropping video Monday morning ... and immediately called out Hollywood's most famous stunt junkie ... telling Tom Cruise to "watch out."

Sydney explained, "Decided to strap myself to a plane and go upside down 🙃."

And that's exactly what she did.

Sydney is seen wing-walking -- standing on top of the aircraft as the pilot sends the plane through a series of wild aerial maneuvers.

Former Disney child star Raquel Lee Bolleau says landing a role in "The Poof Point" turned into a nightmare ... claiming she was raped and sexually assaulted by an adult employee when she was just 14.

In a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Raquel claims Disney failed to protect her -- and instead repeatedly put her in close contact with the man she says abused her.

She says Disney staffers told her to "bond" with the unnamed employee and spend time with him during filming in Utah in 2001 -- though her lawsuit targets Disney, not the individual staffers.

Hayden Panettiere’s mom says Brian Hickerson left her daughter depleted in every way -- financially, emotionally and physically -- as he allegedly became deeply embedded in the actress’ life.

Lesley Vogel -- Hayden's estranged mother -- says she came to L.A. about a year ago to help Hayden through a serious health struggle ... claiming Hayden was suffering from an unexplained pins-and-needles feeling in her lower body that made it difficult for her to walk or function normally, according to the The New York Times.

Hayden wondered whether the pain could have been connected to injuries she suffered while working as a child actor, and according to her mom, they sought help from doctors and tried massage and acupuncture in search of relief.

Madeline Zima -- one of Hayden Panettiere's co-stars on the hit show "Heroes" back in the day -- says the actress was incredibly kind ... and she's speaking out in hopes Hayden's daughter will one day know how great her mom was.

We sat down with Madeline on our "TMZ In The Know" YouTube series ... and she told us she remembers Hayden as someone who was all heart and guts.

Madeline notes she's been in the film and TV world for a long time -- starring in "The Nanny" when she was just 8 years old -- and she calls Hayden one of the kindest and most loving people she's met in the industry.

Farrah Brittany just pulled off a two-for-one reveal ... announcing she's having a baby boy while seemingly confirming Zach Goldsmith is the father.

The "Buying Beverly Hills" star shared a gender reveal video Sunday -- captioned, "We're having a...." -- and Zach was right there beside her for the big moment.

Farrah's sister Sophia documented the buildup ... grabbing pink and blue balloons, an Hermès gift and even matching cat collars before the family learned the results.

Then came the reveal -- it's a boy!!!

Shelley Fabares -- best known for starring on "The Donna Reed Show" and "Coach" -- has died ... TMZ has confirmed.

The actress died Saturday in Los Angeles surrounded by loved ones, according to her family.

Her family remembered Shelley as a source of "love, strength, laughter, and comfort" ... calling her a devoted wife, cherished stepmother and loyal friend whose warmth, generosity and humor touched the people around her.

This silly boy from Santa Monica, California was acting when he was just 5 years old.

Some of his famous co-stars include Jennifer Lopez and Arnold Schwarzenegger ... He may've grown up in SoCal, but he was maid in Manhattan!

If you're still unsure, "Teen Wolf!"
