Ariel Winter took her boyfriend out to a wedding this weekend, and her fashion sense was on full display.

17-year-old Ariel sported a very low cut lavender bandage dress, while her adult BF (he's 18) went simple suit and tie.

The "Modern Family" star's 18th birthday is just a few months away.

Kylie Jenner and Bella Thorne might have some really neat ideas for Ariel on how to celebrate the big day when it's finally time -- on January 28, 2016.

Gordon Ramsay had the guts to enter the grueling Ironman World Championship in Hawaii, but he ended up losing those guts ... on the side of a road.

Chef Ramsay had to drop out of the legendary race, but not before completing the 2.4 mile ocean swim. He moved on to the 122 mile bike ride, and that's when he started blowing chunks.

He tried to persevere through the final marathon leg, but went down with dehydration ... which prevented him from finishing. Medics had to come to his aid.

Ramsay's finished the race before ... in 2013 and it took him 14 hours. He says he'll be back next year.

If Diddy's son doesn't start stretching his mind, he could miss out on the role of a lifetime -- even if it's a gay role -- according to Eric McCormack ... who should know.

Quincy Combs told us he would have passed on playing the gay character Jamal on "Empire" because he didn't have enough experience as an actor. Considering how popular the show became, Eric thinks Quincy might have shot himself in the foot.

Eric played Will on "Will & Grace" -- which worked out pretty well for him -- and thinks Quincy's just not pushing himself. As he put it, "I've played murderers, and I never killed anybody."

Solid metaphor.

"CSI" star Jon Wellner's estranged wife is desperate for money, claiming he's completely cut her off from their cash and credit cards ... leaving her with only $70 to her name.

According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Whitney Wellner is asking for emergency spousal support because she can't make ends meet after losing her job at a dog rescue ... where she made $11 an hour.

Whitney says Jon makes a fortune -- nearly $114k per year in acting residuals alone -- and she wants a piece. Worth noting, Wellner appeared on 126 episodes of "CSI" over 10 years.

But Jon says Whitney's way off base, because he took a "huge loss of income" when "CSI" went off the air. He says he's now only working on random projects.

Discovery's "I (Almost) Got Away With It" will have to try to run from a lawsuit after a convicted murderer on the show says producers painted him in a bad light. Let that wash over you.

Randy Baggett, who was convicted of murdering his stepdad, and appeared in season 6, says the show used a soundbite from prosecutor Jayne Weintraub that was untrue. In the episode, she said after Baggett was sentenced he looked at her and said, "I am going to get you."

In the suit, Baggett claims he never threatened Weintraub and her statement brought him shame and embarrassment ... and killed his motivation to fight for parole.

Apparently, murdering his stepdad did NOT affect him nearly as much. Weintraub tells TMZ she stands by her statement, and everything Baggett said was on record.

Baggett is suing Discovery and Weintraub for more than $500k in damages.

Emeraude Toubia is getting her big break in the TV show "Shadowhunters" -- and along with it a lawsuit from her ex-manager ... who says Toubia got a taste for Hollywood then ditched in a flash.

Palomera Productions claims in legal docs it inked an exclusive agreement to manage Toubia in 2014, which paid it 20% of her earnings. Palomera says it booked Toubia for tons of acting gigs and helped make her a huge Latina star.

Palomera says in 2015 Toubia announced she was moving to LA to get an education, but instead signed with a new rep ... and landed the "Shadowhunters" gig. Palomera found out about that in a press release.

PP says when it reminded Toubia of their exclusive agreement she claimed the signature on the deal wasn't hers. Palomera is suing for 20% of everything she's made since leaving.

Twin Peaks fans can start drooling because the first video from the new season just surfaced and it appears Laura Palmer just might be back from the dead.

In the clip, you can see Agent Cooper, played by Kyle MacLachlan walking up to the Palmer house with what looks like Laura. Not sure if it's just one of the show's notorious dream-scenes or if she was never dead in the first place (crazier things have happened) but it will certainly have fans buzzing.

David Lynch's series, which first aired in 1990 and ended in '91 is set to return next year and its cult-like following has been foaming at the mouth for any leaks ... "damn fine" clip.

"Undateable" actor Rick Glassman split his tongue open during rehearsal and was spewing blood, less than 4 hours before the live show.

Glassman -- who plays Burski on the NBC comedy -- bit into a toasted bagel and accidentally chomped down on his tongue. He was rushed to the ER where he got stitches ... the photos are disturbing.

We're told Glassman has a big part in this episode, which sent producers scrambling.

We're told he's back on set with an hour to spare and doesn't sound too bad. He's hopped up on pain meds, which makes him swallow frequently.

Raven-Symone threw a giant rock from inside her glass house, and it's bouncing back in her face -- because her refusal to hire people with "black" names has some people calling for her to be fired.

"The View" co-host admitted on Thursday she discriminates when it comes to people with names like "Watermelondrea" ... and would not hire someone with such a unique name.

Of course, that comment came from a black woman named Raven-Symone ... while she was rocking a hot pink mohawk.

The irony is not lost on 'View' fans, many of whom are blasting Raven on social media and even calling for her to be replaced ... by Rachel Dolezal.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner weirdly groused his greatest sorrow over the Bill Cosby sex scandal is the legacy of the show.

Warner said in an interview, "My biggest concern is when it comes to images of people of color on television and film, no matter what ... negative stereotypes of people of color, we've always had "The Cosby Show" to hold up against that. And the fact that we no longer have that, that's the thing that saddens me most because in a few generations the Huxtables will have been just a fairy tale."

He did say he felt sorry for the women whom Cosby allegedly victimized. But his overriding concern seems to be the show.

Different strokes ...

Michael Jackson went to such extremes to hide his children from the public, it seems shocking they're doing a reality TV series -- but Prince, Paris and Blanket are only doing what they want to do ... according to their cousins.

TJ Jackson and his brothers Taryll and Taj joined us on TMZ Live to talk about "The Jacksons: Next Generation." TJ has a unique perspective on how Michael's kids are raised ... since he was named their legal co-guardian a few years ago.

Tito's sons revealed why their younger cousins were starting to feel trapped by their secluded lifestyle -- and it sounds like the Lifetime docuseries is giving them a chance to turn that around.

Check it out ... TJ seems wise beyond his 37 years, and talks about wanting to make his uncle MJ proud.

Lance Bass is now saying he was sexually harassed as a teenager in 'N Sync -- and although he didn't name the person who did it ... the new allegation sounds eerily similar to things he's said about the group's ex-manager.

Bass and his co-hosts on "The Meredith Vieira Show" were talking about Ashley Judd's recent sexual harassment allegations ... when he opened up about his own experience.

Lance says he was inappropriately touched by someone he worked with when he was 16 or 17. He does not mention 'N Sync's former manager Lou Pearlman by name.

In the past, Lance has said of Lou ... "He'd always grab our arms and feel our muscles and go: 'Hey boys, you workin' out? Yeahhhh!'" He added that he didn't think of the touching as crossing any line.

Numerous reports have claimed Pearlman molested several of his young proteges, but he was never charged with any crime. He did get busted for embezzlement and is serving 25 years in prison.

Quincy Combs is drawing the line on the subject of family loyalty -- it doesn't matter that his pops, Diddy reportedly has issues with "Empire" ... he'd love almost any role on the show, except Jussie Smollett's.

Quincy was leaving 1 OAK Tuesday when our photog asked if he'd toe the line with his dad in his beef with "Empire." Rumor is the show wanted Quincy for the Hakeem role, but Diddy squashed it because FOX would own all the music he made.

Check it out ... Quincy makes it sound like the rumors were false, because he says he'd absolutely take a role, but he's not experienced enough to play a gay character -- presumably because there are scenes involving overt affection.

Ronda Rousey decided to show off the goods on 'Jimmy Fallon' Tuesday night ... rockin' a dress with see-through panels ... and a super plunging neckline that showed off her insane physique.

#AndStill ...

"American Horror Story: Hotel" has drawn hordes of fans to the real hotel on which the show is based.

'AHS' die-hards are flocking to Stay on Main hotel in downtown L.A. ... the site of a grisly death in 2013 when it was called the Cecil Hotel.

Elisa Lam was found dead in the hotel's water tank after the hotel received complaints the water tasted funny. Her death was ruled an accidental drowning, but after LAPD released elevator video of Elisa's erratic behavior, stories began surfacing she was possessed and the hotel was haunted.

We're told the barrage of 'AHS' promos featuring Lady Gaga have sent fans into a frenzy ... people are lining up to stay in Elisa's room and poke around the water tank. As for the room, they're out of luck ... it's off limits.

Ryan Murphy has said his inspiration for the new season of 'AHS' -- premiering Wednesday night -- is Lam's story.

We're told security is on alert for people daring to conduct paranormal investigations.

Kim Zolciak hasn't danced her final dance on "Dancing with the Stars."

We're told the folks at 'DWTS' want Kim back for the season finale next month. The plan is to have her dance in several dances on the final show and all she needs is a green light from her doctor.

We're told Kim's on board, despite being kicked off the show after suffering a mini-stroke that unearthed a heart condition. She's not back to 100%, but she already made it out of the house Sunday to watch husband Kroy play in the Falcons game.

Zolciak was at the bottom of the barrel on the show before her medical emergency. At least one person's rooting for her.
