Wendy Williams gets emotional thinking about a recent threat from the judge in her guardianship ... crying at the thought of being moved to a more restrictive assisted-living facility than the one she describes as a luxury prison.

The former talk show host joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and we asked her about the judge being pissed at her for grousing to the media about her guardianship and threatening to place even more restrictions on her.

Wendy talked to us for nearly 20 minutes from her room at Mount Sinai West Hospital in NYC, where she's about to be released and sent back to a residential center called Coterie ... a place she hates with a passion.

"These are the best days of our lives" ... because TMZ has learned the brand-new cast for Season 12 of "Vanderpump Rules" will begin filming in a few weeks.

Production sources tell us ... the rebooted Bravo series will go into production in early April. We're told the cast is made up of 14 members ... some will be full-time and others will be friends of the cast.

We're told the rebooted version of the long-running series will keep its original formula, which will take viewers inside the hookups, feuds and drama surrounding Lisa Vanderpump's West Hollywood restaurant, SUR. We're told the SUR-vers' homes and lives outside the restaurant will be the meat of the show.

Kristin Cavallari just took a trip down memory lane -- AKA, revisiting relationships with her exes, and which one she’d get back with ... only hypothetically, of course!

The former "Laguna Beach" star opened up the floor for questions during a live taping of the “Let’s Be Honest" Podcast Tour which is being filmed as a new reality show for E!

TMZ obtained a clip from the Boston show, one fan asked her which ex she’d spend the rest of her life with, if she were forced to choose.

Kristin wasn’t exactly thrilled with the question, joking she’d "honestly, rather f***ing die," but she was determined to give an answer -- eventually picking her most recent ex, Mark Estes.

"Snow White" is in its big release week, but instead of excitement, the controversy is still going strong -- and Ali Chapman tells us she totally gets why fans are frustrated.

We spoke with Ali, her hubby Matt McArthy, and their pal Jeff Beacher, owner of Beacher's Madhouse, at Craig's in L.A. Tuesday -- where she told TMZ the whole point of the OG film was the 7 dwarfs ... so that was 7 missed chances for actors like her who would’ve loved to be part of the live-action remake.

"Pawn Stars" star Corey Harrison is thrilled his father, Rick, is getting married -- and he's more than happy to be his best man ... if that's what Rick decides.

Corey tells TMZ ... this will be the third time he's attending one of Rick's weddings -- having been by his dad's side when he got hitched to Tracy Harrison in 1986 and Deanna Burditt in 2013.

"Big Hoss" says he'd be honored to be his dad's best man, but Rick shouldn't expect a bachelor party or a gift. Corey doesn’t think his dad would want a bachelor party, and jokes, "You can't keep getting married every time you need a toaster!"

Millie Bobby Brown’s all about that liberated vibe -- so much so, she plans to take a page out of her younger self’s book and shave her head when she has her first baby.

In her "Call Her Daddy" interview, Millie admitted she told her husband, Jake Bongiovi, she’d be shaving her head just before she becomes a mom. Why? She doesn’t want her hair getting in the way of all the nurturing she’ll be doing for her baby.

Millie explained that every woman should try shaving their hair off at least once in their life ... though she did admit her first experience with it at such a young age was a bit of a mixed bag.

9:55 AM PT -- In the Oval Office today at the White House, President Donald Trump met with Ireland's Taoiseach, Micheál Martin -- the country's prime minister -- and Martin was asked why Ireland would allow Rosie O'Donnell to move there ... "Thank you, I like that question," Trump responded. Martin didn't seem to know who they were talking about, as they all chuckled.

Rosie O'Donnell says she's ditched the U.S.A. for her ancestral homeland ... telling fans she and her daughter have moved to Ireland -- and, President Trump's team says the White House couldn't be happier.

The former talk show host announced the move in a nearly 10-minute-long video she posted to TikTok earlier this week ... and, in it she says she moved to the Emerald Isle on January 15.

O'Donnell -- who says she's in the process of getting Irish citizenship, because her grandparents were born in the country -- points to the fraught political situation in the United States of America as the reason for her move.

A former colleague of Dave's said his health had been declining in recent years, and although his death is upsetting, it did not come completely out of the blue.

Police say Aaron's wife, Victoria Goodwin, hatched a plan to off her husband to get out of her marriage ... and she allegedly enlisted a prisoner named Grant Amato to help her see the diabolical plan through.

Well, we did some digging and discovered Amato is serving a life sentence for a triple murder involving his family. A former nurse, Amato was found guilty in 2019 of fatally shooting his father, mother and brother in their Florida home.

The moment Jax Taylor got served with divorce papers is captured in a nail-biting clip from the trailer for season two of "The Valley."

The lengthy trailer makes it clear that Jax and Brittany Cartwright’s marriage will be a key storyline this season, and we get a dramatic sneak peek where Jax opens his front door and -- bam -- he’s hit with the papers.
