However, they said they learned from the cremation center where their dog was taken before they got home that their pup was actually killed by another dog.

Time to TAP-IN y'all! Gen-Z was up and at 'em this week! Here are the MUST-KNOWS:

The long-lived feud between rappers Drake and Kendrick Lamar may be reignited with tonight's World Series game. Earlier this week, Toronto native Drake went from zero to 100 real quick when the Blue Jays secured their spot in the World Series, while Kendrick -- who's from Compton, California -- is backing his beloved Dodgers 💯!

The question is:

JoJo Siwa's relationship garnered buzz this week -- She hit the carpet at the 2025 Dancers Against Cancer Gala ... and packed on the PDA with partner Chris Hughes. The smooches were flying, and so were the comments online; some peeps are over this relationship, while some are totes here for it 😘!

Even celebs get starstruck ... Ariana Grande practically lost all chill when the one and only Sarah Jessica Parker acknowledged her existence!

On the "Shut Up Evan" podcast, the "Wicked" star got a surprise voicemail from none other than the "Sex and The City" queen herself. But before Ariana could even answer SJP’s burning question, she was already tearing up like a total fangirl.

Ariana was so shook, she blurted out to Evan, "She knows who I am!" ... then pulled it together just enough to dive into how fame looks now versus what she dreamed it’d be as a kid.

Robert Irwin is the youngest dancer still competing on "Dancing with the Stars" this season, and the man is so gosh-darn innocent ... he says he doesn't even watch scary movies.

Catching up with the 21-year-old conservationist outside of the 'DWTS' rehearsal studio in Los Angeles Thursday, Robert was asked what is his favorite scary flick ... but RI told the photog, "I've never seen a horror movie in my life."

Apparently, wildlife photography and zookeeping some of the world's deadliest animals is enough of an adrenaline rush for Robert.

Kim Kardashian must have some sort of ESP ... 'cause the actress and model is sure she passed the bar exam ... and will be a lawyer within weeks.

Kim just visited the BBC’s "The Graham Norton Show" to promote her new series "All's Fair" ... and while there, she made it clear she's 100% confident she'll be a "qualified lawyer" in two weeks -- which is when the results of her test are released.

This is a big deal to Kim ... not only was her famed father Robert a well-known attorney -- Kim told Norton she sees law as the next phase of her career, and says she ultimately wants to be a trial lawyer.

"Outer Banks" co-creator and director Jonas Pate is still working on the popular Netflix series ... one day after the news dropped he put his hands on a production assistant and shook her while shouting in her face ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Jonas was present on the set Thursday in Dubrovnik, Croatia, for the filming of the fifth and final season of the show. We're told Netflix never hit pause on the show's production.

Our sources say Jonas remains fully involved in the series currently ... although we're told his demeanor has quieted and the incident between him and the P.A. has not been addressed to the staff or crew.

Kendall Jenner just dished on her sex life -- a rare move for her -- and let’s just say the spicy details left momager Kris Jenner totally gobsmacked!

It all unfolds on "The Kardashians" S7 premiere Thursday ... when Kendall, as the crew was packing up the home she grew up in, casually dropped the bomb that she lost her virginity in her old bedroom ... right in front of Kris.

Kris was floored ... blurting out, "Where the hell was I?!" And honestly, Kris -- fingers crossed you were nowhere near that bedroom when your daughter was getting it on!

Kim Kardashian’s birthday bash is turning into a marathon of jaw-dropping looks ... and in London, she cranked it up ... serving some serious skin all night long!

The multi-talented mogul hit up photog Mert Alas’ London pad Wednesday night for her 45th birthday blowout ... rocking a corset-style ensemble that served major underboob ... all while dripping in bedazzled details that were most definitely OTT.

Kim later switched into another corset-style ensemble, this time white and sheer ... and TBH it was a risky choice ... especially in those chilly London temps. One wrong move in those outfits, and we’re talking full-on nipple slip territory.

Wendy Osefo says she’s not the fraudster here -- she’s the victim ... and is claiming cops hit her with an illegal arrest as she fights to clear her name.

According to court docs obtained by US Weekly ... the 'Real Housewives of Potomac' star wants all charges against her and husband Eddie dropped ... arguing there are alleged defects in the charging papers and the search and seizure was unlawful.

The docs also add any verbal admissions, statements and confessions she made shouldn’t count because they were unlawfully obtained.

The cocreator/director of "Outer Banks" put his hands on a production assistant and shook her while shouting in her face, and several of the show's stars had to intervene ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the show went back into production this week in Dubrovnik, Croatia. We're told "tensions were high" on the set, and we're told things came to an immediate boil when Jonas Pate grabbed the female P.A.

We're told that as Pate shook and screamed at her, Chase Stokes separated them and Madelyn Cline also jumped in to de-escalate the situation.

Ellen Greenberg's parents say Philadelphia officials are still trying to clean up the city's mess from a botched investigation ... which is why no one will admit Ellen was murdered.

Sandee and Josh Greenberg joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday to talk about a medical examiner recently reaffirming their daughter Ellen's death as a suicide ... and, they told us it's all spurred on by corruption.

According to the Greenbergs, they weren't surprised at the ruling ... because it's the answer they've gotten from city officials for years ... which they see as an attempt to simply get to them to stop digging.

Michael J. Fox’s "Back to the Future" wasn’t just movie magic ... he says it straight-up inspired some huge names to pick up a guitar and go full rockstar.

The iconic actor hit "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" for National "Back to the Future" Day on Tuesday and dropped a bombshell ... saying his Marty McFly role in the '85 classic inspired none other than John Mayer and Chris Martin to become the full-fledged icons they are today!

Michael spilled that Chris was so thankful, he even jammed with him onstage ... so yeah, if you’re wondering what lit the fire under Coldplay’s frontman and John Mayer -- you can thank Marty freakin' McFly!

Kim Kardashian made it a two-for-one kinda night ... rolling straight into round two of her 45th birthday bash after hitting the French premiere of her new Hulu legal drama.

The birthday girl made sure the spotlight was hers at Paris’ Deflower Club Tuesday night ... rocking an off-the-shoulder metallic mini while rolling in with costars Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson, and Naomi Watts.

Of course, Kris Jenner pulled up too -- no way she was skipping Kim’s big 4-5 -- and the girl squad clearly went full throttle.
