It's raining rose petals on Taylor Frankie Paul -- 'cause she's the new bachelorette!

The 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' star was announced as the leading lady for Season 22 of the hit reality dating show on Alex Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast on Wednesday.

This is a first for the franchise -- it usually casts well-liked suitors from previous seasons of "The Bachelor", and never someone who's already a reality star.

Dog the Bounty Hunter's son, who works as a police officer, will be taking a brief break from the force ... he's been put on administrative leave following his involvement in a fatal crash.

Priceville Mayor Sam Heflin tells TMZ ... he can confirm that a Priceville PD officer named Garry Chapman has been placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of an investigation -- standard procedure for a situation like this.

The mayor could NOT confirm if this Garry Chapman is the same as the son of Dog -- real name Duane Chapman -- who shares the same moniker. But sources familiar with the situation confirm that Garry is Dog's son.

Hilary Duff's music career isn't "so yesterday" ... the former Disney Channel star is set to release new music for the first time in over a decade.

The "Lizzie McGuire" star shared the big career update on Tuesday, when she uploaded to Instagram photos of herself working on a new EP in the studio. She has signed a new deal with Atlantic Records ahead of the album release.

While Hilary didn't share much about her new album, she did confirm that "new music" was on the way ... teasing that there's plenty more to be expected from the upcoming project.

Charlie Sheen is gearing up for a Hollywood comeback ... hinting to us he has something else in the works after pulling together his memoir and a new docuseries, back to back.

We caught up with the actor Tuesday morning in NYC, where he was practically on cloud nine while discussing all the positive feedback he's received for his new book -- "The Book of Sheen" -- and his Netflix doc, "aka Charlie Sheen."

Per Charlie, he feels a lot better having everything out in the open ... including all the details about his past wild love life.

"Breaking Bad" star Raymond Cruz looked a little worse for wear after his arrest in L.A. for battery -- with his long face telling the whole story.

TMZ obtained photos of Cruz doing the walk of shame back to his Silver Lake home Monday as a shutterbug snapped photos of him. Decked out in a T-shirt and pants, Cruz gazes into the camera, clearly unhappy he's spotted after his bust earlier in the day.

As we first reported ... Cruz -- who played villain character Tuco Salamanca in "Breaking Bad" -- allegedly assaulted someone's daughter by spraying her with a garden hose while washing his car.

Huge congrats to "Modern Family" star Eric Stonestreet -- the actor just tied the knot with longtime love Lindsay Schweitzer after a four-year engagement!

On Monday, the 54-year-old shared snaps from their Kansas City dream wedding on IG -- including their first dance, serenaded by a squad of acoustic guitarists.

Eric looked sharp in a navy suit and blue tie, while Lindsay absolutely glowed in classic bridal white.

Charlie Sheen is revealing his life is way different now from the days of his infamously wild antics ... because he's been celibate for nearly a decade.

Ahead of the release of his Netflix docuseries, "aka Charlie Sheen," and the drop of his memoir, "The Book of Sheen," the "Two and a Half Men" alum shared how his sobriety journey has influenced his dating life ... or lack thereof.

He told Page Six ... sex used to be all he "cared about," and that it was "near the top of the priority list" for him.

Charlie Sheen is looking back on one moment of his life with regret ... and that is not reaching out to pal Matthew Perry before his death.

The actor opened up about his connection with the late "Friends" star, revealing he wanted to reconnect with the funny man in 2023 after reading Matthew's memoir, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing."

Sheen told Page Six ... he was thrilled to be included in Perry's book, which detailed the highs and lows of the actor's addiction, something CS knows a thing or two about.

Eric Dane isn't letting his ALS diagnosis keep him from the biggest night in television ... he's set to hit the Emmys stage this weekend, months after sharing his big health update.

The Television Academy announced a lineup of presenters ahead of Sunday's awards show, confirming the "Euphoria" star would be attending the 77th annual Emmys alongside Stephen Colbert, Jenna Ortega, Walton Goggins, Angela Bassett, Sydney Sweeney, among others.

Eric's addition to the big show is certainly noteworthy given his current health situation. Remember, back in April, the "Grey's Anatomy" alum shared he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly referred to as ALS.

Soulja Boy now has a grown-up 3-year-old on his hands and saw fit to celebrate him like the Lil Soulja prince he is with a blowout bash at Dave & Busters!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained photos of Big Draco and his child's mother, Jackie 🇵🇦🇵🇷, royally spoiling the s*** out of their 3-year-old son KeAndre AKA Lil Soulja, with a very "Bluey" birthday party ... cupcakes, bubbles, the whole wackadoo!!!

The little tyke was swarmed by his toddler friends and received plenty of gifts, including a triple-layer cake decorated with 'Bluey & Friends' emblems and toys!!!

4:14 PM PT -- Raymond Cruz has been released from police custody on his own recognizance and is due back in court Oct. 1.

Tough break for Raymond Cruz -- the actor who brought fan-fav villain Tuco Salamanca to life -- 'cause cops hauled him in this morning on suspicion of misdemeanor battery.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... someone called the police claiming Cruz assaulted their daughter -- allegedly blasting her with a garden hose.

A source familiar with the case tells TMZ ... Cruz was washing his car and asked the girl to move out of the way. When she didn't, she allegedly got sprayed and believed he did it on purpose.

Charlie Sheen is revealing the reason he first turned to booze -- and it wasn't for partying -- instead, he says it was to help "soften the edges" as he battled a lifelong stutter.

He talked about leaning on alcohol in 1999, when he landed the sitcom "Spin City," and worried about the stutter impacting his starring role on the show.

Charlie was on Monday's 'GMA' discussing his addictions -- to alcohol, crack and more -- but says liquor helped achieve a sense of freedom with his speech.

The MTV Video Music Awards always make for some crazy moments -- Sabrina Carpenter making out with an alien, anyone? -- and, this year's edition brought out some wild fashion we gotta show ya.

Speaking of Sabrina, she pulled up in a sparkly red, mesh outfit ... adding a lavender wrap to the ensemble. Tate McRae arrived in a sheer white dress ... which allowed her matching underwear to peek out from beneath the fabric.

Doja Cat seemed to channel her inner Dolly Parton in a low-cut minidress and big hairdo ... while Livvy Dunne proved orange can't replace the classic black, looking like an awards show pro with a short black blazer over matching bra -- and a pair of black slacks to boot.

Candace Cameron Bure is hitting back at online trolls ... by hitting delete.

The "Full House" star yanked a swimsuit snap from her Instagram after the comments spiraled into body shaming, later explaining on Instagram Stories that while the one piece shot was meant to capture her soaking up the last of summer, the backlash quickly soured the vibe.

"It wasn't about the suit or my body," she said, "but the comments turned into endless chatter about my body. It wasn’t worth it, so I took it down."

Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz seem stuck together ... 'cause they didn't break up their contact while snaking their way down a New York City sidewalk.

The singer and the actress were spotted on a stroll in the Big Apple on Friday ... walking arm-in-arm down the street before switching to hold hands.

The two pass a woman ... and that's when Harry pull his arm up and wraps it around Zoë's shoulder while she holds his hand -- a smooth move, if we do say so.
