Gayle King says the abduction of Savannah Guthrie's mom Nancy is weighing heavily on her heart ... and, she's really hoping for a happy resolution.
We caught up with the longtime television host outside the The Fanatics Luncheon -- a pre-Super Bowl event in San Francisco -- Friday ... and we asked her about her peer's missing mother.
King says she's heartsick about the situation ... and she's reached out to send her love and support to Savannah already.
GK says the NBC host hasn't hit her up ... but, she knows she's busy with other issues -- and, she told her in her text she's not expecting a message back.
François Arnaud might be choking on that "none of your f***ing business" line he tossed at Andy Cohen ... 'cause the rumors about him dating Connor Storrie are getting louder, steamier, and a lot harder to dodge!
TMZ snagged photos of the two actors settling in for a cozy dinner at the old-school, fancy Smoke House in Burbank ... and while there wasn’t full-on PDA, the energy was very much date night. Dim lighting, nonstop laughs, and that locked-in, only-you-exist vibe said plenty.
There’s no denying the chemistry here -- and if this is the real deal, François better brace himself for even more backlash from diehard "Heated Rivalry" fans who seriously struggle separating fantasy from real life. Even NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has said he is a big fan.
The most dramatic event in sports -- with top-notch athletes, big-time plays and tons of anticipation behind it -- returns Sunday ... and it's certainly got our tails wagging!

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Everyone is "hoping and praying for Nancy’s safe return." Hoda added ... "There’s been a massive show of support, from vigils to people offering positive thoughts online and just a lot of hope."
Matt James has some thoughts on Chris Harrison's return to the dating-show world years after "The Bachelor" blew up in his face ... and let’s just say, he’s already handing over a rose to the host, who he calls the "GOAT."
TMZ caught up with the former 'Bachelor' lead at the Sports Illustrated Invitational Golf Tournament in San Francisco Thursday, where Matt said it was only a matter of time before Chris found his way back onto the dating TV circuit.
Matt also weighed in on the backlash surrounding Chris’ new show, particularly over a casting call that mentions "traditional values." According to Matt, that word is pretty much open to interpretation.
Ooh, just when you thought the so-called "toxic mom group" drama was finally fading out, Kaley Cuoco jumped in ... and yep, she very clearly picked a side -- and it’s notAshley Tisdale’s.
Kaley stopped by "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" Thursday and did not mince words when the topic came up ... bluntly firing off, "I mean, if you don’t like being part of a group, just leave, baby." Ouch!
Her face said everything ... she was clearly unimpressed with how Ashley handled the whole situation, adding there was no need to talk about it endlessly or write long essays about it.

So if you've been putting off a doctor's appointment ... Cut. It. Out!
Political commentator Quentin Jiles was a runner-up on "The Traitors" 3 years ago, so he knows what it takes to survive the roundtable ... and he told us the politicians he thinks would be immediately banished.
Watch the video ... Quentin stopped by "TMZ Live" to dish on who in D.C. gives off so much overtly traitorous energy, the other Faithfuls would banish them whether they were Traitors or not.
Quentin gave us 2 very notable names ... and one them, Quentin joked, catches a flight out of his state "every time the wind blows," which would be an immediate red flag to the rest of the contestants.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa is on an absolute roll -- fresh off turning heads in "The White Lotus" -- and she’s already lining up her next big move ... a Netflix rom-com!

Congresswoman Sarah McBride is always looking out for traitors ... which is probably why she's such a fan of "The Traitors" on Peacock -- and she tells us the show isn't all that different from Washington!
