Kelly Clarkson’s keeping the show rolling after the tragic death of ex-hubby Brandon Blackstock -- TMZ’s confirmed she’s heading back to "The Voice" as a coach.

We’re told Kelly skipped one taping for Season 29 of NBC’s 'Battle of the Champions' earlier this month -- coming right after the heartbreaking news -- but Jennifer Hudson stepped in during rehearsals for the battle rounds.

Kelly’s reuniting with fellow champ coaches Adam Levine and John Legend -- and get this, the show’s cranking out two cycles at the same time.

Tiffani Thiessen was born January 23, but it'd be hard to tell from her recent video post, where she eats a cake ... apparently wearing nothing but her birthday suit!

The "Saved by the Bell" alum totally teased fans with her recent Instagram post ... appearing topless while enjoying her sweet treat ... and asking fans, "How do you eat it?"

Her caption -- "When it’s hot out, you gotta get naked…" -- made it clear she was commenting on the naked carrot cake instead of her naughty body -- so relax, Mr. Belding!

Jillian Michaels says Netflix’s "Biggest Loser" documentary isn't just full of lies -- it’s part of a long history of the franchise trying to take her down ... and she's giving TMZ all the receipts to prove it.

TMZ caught up with Jillian hot off her IG blast and lawsuit threat Tuesday, and she doubled down -- telling us the documentary paints a false picture, starting with Dr. Robert Huizenga claiming he never worked with her -- something she says is BS 'cause she's got hundreds of emails proving otherwise.

Listen to the full interview ... Jillian blasts the way the documentary twisted her role on the show, accusing Dr. H of dangerously yanking contestants off their meds cold turkey -- while she was the one stepping in to protect them.

Dr. Robert Huizenga isn’t about to let Jillian Michaels dominate the narrative -- he's firing back after she ripped him over Netflix's "The Biggest Loser" documentary ... telling TMZ her "receipts" don’t prove a thing.

Huizenga tells TMZ ... caffeine, weight-loss pills and diuretics were strictly banned from day one -- and anytime contestants claimed they were given such pills, he ordered production to shut down and launch an investigation.

He also points to the time Jillian had to give an on-air apology after being busted handing out pills to contestants to plug her own products -- saying that alone proves her caffeine claims are running on fumes.

Sydney Sweeney may have made her name falling out of her top on "Euphoria" ... now she's continuing the theme in her latest IG post, depicting her first time skydiving.

The TV and film star recently posted video of herself falling out of a plane as she nearly falls out of her jumpsuit, and if any part of her was worried ... she sure as hell didn't let it show. Safe to assume that was all thanks to being tethered with aerial stunt expert Luke Aikins.

As you can see, the footage starts inside the plane just before the actress and Luke tumble out ... and follows them all the way to a safe landing where she's super stoked about the awesome accomplishment.

Jillian Michaels is coming out swinging -- telling TMZ the entire 'Biggest Loser' documentary is a giant lie ... and she’s already lawyering up.

The celeb trainer says she’s meeting today with powerhouse attorney Bryan Freedman to plot her next move -- which could include going after Netflix, the producer of the doc, Bob Harper, and Dr. Robert Huizenga in court.

Jillian isn’t stopping there either ... she points out Brandon Riegg -- the exec who bought the doc for Netflix -- was one of the top dogs at NBC during the last several seasons of "The Biggest Loser." Translation: he knew exactly what went down behind the scenes.

TV personality Peggy Sulahian was in her mid-40s when she was cast -- and delivered the ever-so-pleasing drama -- on Bravo's hit reality show "The Real Housewives of Orange County" back in 2017.

Joining Peggy included the 'OG of the OC', Vicki Gunvalson -- the insurance company owner and queen of "whoopin' it up," Tamra Judge as the fitness-motivated blonde and Vicki's partner in crime (at the time), and Shannon Beador as the handsy and animated housewife.

Aside from all the tea-spilling, Peggy shared her breast cancer journey on the show.

66 and this pic is gettin' all the clicks ... but can you guess who the topless babe is? It's Monday and this sexy star is makin' it rain, y'all!!!

She's an Oscar-nominated actress who's a "friend-of" on the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." Her laugh is iconic and her jewelry is next-level!

A Big Brother housemate just served up the sourest move yet -- and trust us, you wouldn’t risk her anywhere near your welcome mat after seeing this!

Catch this clip that was caught on the live feed from "Big Brother" S27 -- housemate Mickey cracks open a fresh bottle of lemonade, chugs straight from the rim ... then pops it right back in the communal fridge like nothing happened.

Total nightmare -- the communal fridge, everyone’s drinks, and not a soul around to catch her in the act ... meaning the house had no clue Mickey’s germs were already swimming in their lemonade!

It's party time all summer ... and you already know we've got plenty of celebs getting their drink on!

The name of the game this time is playing it off, although it looks like Kevin Hart sold himself out when he fessed up to having a "drunk face" -- hey, he almost fooled us!

Brandi Glanville’s grinning ear to ear -- looks like she’s finally nailed down the culprit behind that mystery facial parasite wreaking havoc ... and it’s already on its way out!

The former 'RHOBH' star was looking like a whole new woman -- maybe even better than before -- as she posted an IG pic with infectious disease doc Dr. Michael R. Scoma, giving him credit for finally getting to the bottom of what was wrong.

Tristan Rogers -- an actor known for his work in soap operas and animation -- has died ... according to a report.

ABC7 Los Angeles -- citing Rogers' longtime manager, Meryl Soodak -- reports Rogers passed away Friday morning after a long battle with lung cancer. Despite the cause of death, Soodak told the outlet Rogers didn't smoke.

Rogers got his start in acting way back in the late 1960s with an appearance on the Australian science-fiction adventure series "Delta."

Kroy Biermann's asking a court to make his home the primary residence for his children he shares with Kim Zolciak ... claiming her living environment is no good for the kids.

The former NFL player filed documents in Georgia ... noting that, under the current parenting plan, he and Kim each have two kids at a time -- their two older sons go back and forth together as do their younger twins -- a girl and a boy -- every week.

However, KB says the four kids living essentially separate lives in different homes isn't good for their mental health ... and, he's now asking the court for primary custody to fix it.

Tarek El Moussa's battery case in Las Vegas has been dismissed by a judge ... TMZ has confirmed.

The "Flip or Flop" star was facing a misdemeanor battery charge after being cited by police following a fight in a casino.

New legal docs show the case was dismissed August 5 after Tarek completed impulse control counseling and stayed "out of trouble." The charge was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be filed again.

American actress and beauty pageant title-holder Mary-Margaret Humes was in her mid 40s when she played Gale Leery -- Dawson's mother and the wife of Mitch Leery -- on the popular TV show "Dawson's Creek" (back in the 90s-early 2000s).

Humes was part of an ensemble cast including James Van Der Beek as the aspiring filmmaker who looks up to Steven Spielberg, Dawson, Joshua Jackson as the sarcastic, unmotivated teen struggling with his home life, Pacey, and Katie Holmes as the tomboy whose mother died of cancer, Joey.

Mary-Margaret was Miss Florida USA in 1975 and third runner-up at the 1975 Miss USA pageant.

Ken Biberaj ain't giving up his name for anyone ... even toy giant Mattel, who he says is overextending its reach in order to monopolize the "Ken" moniker.

We spoke with Biberaj -- who hosts the "Coffee with Ken" podcast -- on "TMZ Live," and we asked him about his current beef with Mattel ... which he says kicked off when he tried to patent the name of his show.

Biberaj says they were preliminarily approved for the trademark ... before Mattel came out of nowhere and objected to Ken and his team for registering the show because they believed anything "Ken" belongs to them. Of course, the most famous Ken in existence has to be the Ken doll -- Barbie's man, who was introduced by Mattel in 1961.
