Mary Cosby wasn't shooting "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" when she found out her son, Robert Jr., had passed away ... but that doesn't mean it won't be mentioned.

Sources connected to the show tell TMZ ... "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" Season 7 is in pre-preproduction and wasn't shooting at the time of Robert's death.

Shooting was supposed to start this week ... but has been postponed due to the tragedy.

We're halfway through the week, and this mama came to play -- delivering quite the stellar snack for your mid-week treat ... can you guess who this beauty queen is?

Back in '95, she won Miss New York USA and grabbed the title of Miss USA later that year ... Her baby-daddy is a famous drummer!

Don't go looking in your local haystack for a needle ... just head on down to the "Fear Factor: House Of Fear" set and take them right out of a contestant's skin!

A new episode of the hit "Fear Factor" reboot is airing tonight ... and it features Johnny Knoxville's "Pain Auction" -- a challenge in which contestants undergo painful ordeals in hopes of staying in the game to win $200K.

One contestant -- 21-year-old professional soccer star Dida Armstrong -- agreed to have 13 needles pierced into his arms ... and the video's hard to watch.

'Golden Bachelor' star Mel Owens paid off the nearly $1 million he owed his ex-wife, Fabiana Owens, under their divorce settlement ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, it looks like the reality star has officially resolved the 7-figure debt he owed Fabiana in their December 2024 divorce settlement.

The divorce turned ugly in late 2025, when Fabiana told the court Mel had yet to pay the money owed to her, despite him being on "The Golden Bachelor." She asked for Mel’s 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2,768-square-foot home to be sold off to come up with the cash if he didn’t cough up the dough.

Jimmy Kimmel pulled no punches against Donald Trump following the State of the Union address … blasting what he called an “angry” speech from the president.

Kimmel -- who went live with his show toward the end of the lengthy address -- wasted no time diving in on Trump, saying, “The theme of tonight’s speech was 'All foreigners are murderers.'”

He also took aim at Melania Trump, quipping, “He said zero illegal aliens have been allowed into the United States on his watch, but the door is always open to those who come in legally to be his next wife.” Later, he added, “The State of their Union is twin beds tonight.”

Eric Dane's ex-girlfriend Priya Jain has donated $10,000 to his GoFundMe following his death last week.

Priya and Eric dated for about a year after first being linked in November 2024 ... and her quiet donation comes as Hollywood pals and fans alike continue to dump money into the fundraising page, which is meant to support his two teenage daughters after he lost his life to ALS.

We've had an eye on the GoFundMe ... and it is nearing a half a mill in donations ... including from major Hollywood names such as Hailey Bieber and "Euphoria" creator Sam Levinson -- who dropped $20K each. Other sizeable contributions have come from Gwyneth Paltrow's husband, Brad Falchuk, and Lala Kent's ex, producer Randall Emmett, who threw in $10K each. Madonna's longtime manager Guy Oseary and Disney President Dana Walden also gave $5K each.

As we told you, 53-year-old Eric died last Thursday after being diagnosed with ALS in spring 2025. He is survived by his once-estranged wife Rebecca Gayheart and his two daughters, Billie and Georgia.

Lauren Chapin -- who played the youngest child, Kathy “Kitten” Anderson, on the beloved 1950s TV show "Father Knows Best" -- has died.

Her son, Matthew Chapin, announced the news on social media Tuesday evening, writing ... "After a long hard fought battle over the past 5 years, the time has come. My mother Lauren Chapin passed away from her battle with cancer tonight."

Lauren kicked off her acting career with an uncredited role in 1954's "A Star Is Born" starring Judy Garland, as well as the CBS series "Lux Video Theatre" before being cast as the precocious Kitten in 'FKB.'

She starred in Netflix's "Do Revenge" with Maya Hawke and Sophie Turner. Off Netflix, you may know her from "Riverdale."

After you've scored the babe in question, can you find the 5-letter Netflix word below:

The FCC received a ton of complaints after Jimmy Kimmel made a controversial comment regarding Charlie Kirk ... but a vast majority of them weren't knocking Jimmy.

We've received the complaints sent to the federal agency back in September 2025 through a Freedom of Information Act request to see how many people bashed Kimmel to the government ... and we actually found that a lot more were fans of the star writing in -- alleging censorship by the feds.

Many people argued the government was infringing on the First Amendment by forcing Kimmel off the air ... and they called out FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr for his comments about the talk show host.

HBO’s steamy hit "Heated Rivalry" has fans going feral -- and now they can take their obsession offline ... 'cause they can officially rent out the actual Canadian cottage from the show!

Yes, seriously. The iconic lakeside Barlochan Cottage tucked away in Muskoka, north of Toronto, is hitting Airbnb -- and bookings open March 3 at 12 PM ET.

The price? $248.10 in Canadian dollars per night (about $181 USD) -- a cheeky nod to "24" and "81," the jersey numbers of Hudson Williams’ Shane Hollander and Connor Storrie’s Ilya Rozanov, the duo at the heart of the show’s fiery, queer hockey saga.

As any fan knows, the 3-bedroom forest-core fantasy in the pics wasn’t just set dressing -- it was the setting. From Connor’s now-legendary "I’m coming to the cottage" line to Shane and Ilya’s off-ice moments, all the way to that finale ... it’s basically a fandom pilgrimage site with throw pillows.

Gavin Newsom wasn't making racist remarks during a recent event -- since it looked like he was the intermission entertainment at a Coldplay concert -- so says our own Harvey Levin.

The TMZ executive producer tore into the misinformed outrage directed at the Governor of California after he related his own education and background to the audience at a book event in Atlanta, Georgia.

If you haven't seen the clip ... Governor Newsom basically says he had a mediocre SAT score and he can't read well due to his severe dyslexia ... so he's no better than anyone in the audience.

John Davidson's Tourette's tic -- which resulted in the disability activist screaming out a racial slur during an awards broadcast -- isn't necessarily about his true feelings coming out ... so says a reality star with firsthand knowledge of the disorder.

Baylen Dupree -- star of the hit show "Baylen Out Loud" -- released a statement Tuesday about Sunday's incident ... saying she felt she needed to say something as a person who deals with tics as well.

Baylen writes these verbal tics are not thoughts, opinions, or beliefs hidden deep beneath the surface -- they are involuntary impulses -- no different than a hiccup or a sneeze.

Turn up your Tuesday with this fun game of GUESS WHO! Can you guess which reality TV babe flaunted her bikini bod in these eye-popping pics?!

She spends most of her time in Florida ... and notoriously rose to fame on MTV's "Siesta Key."

Hit the gallery for the reveal, and then see if you can find the MTV words below ...

“Love Is Blind” star Amber Morrison has been getting dragged by the age police ... but TMZ’s got the documentation to shut that down.

We’ve obtained a copy of her driver’s license showing her DOB as April 2, 1991, confirming she’s 34 ... not older, despite internet trolls loudly insisting otherwise.

It’s honestly a rough situation. Sources close to Amber tell us she’s a full-time working mom who doesn’t have hours to obsess over her appearance ... which has been at the center of cruel online digs.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Kenya Moore’s hair salon was ordered to pay more than $80,000 in a battle over unpaid rent and utilities ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, a Georgia judge ordered the reality star’s company, Moore Vision Media, to pay $43,988 by late February ... and another $43,988.67 by late March -- for a total of $87,976.

The judge also ordered Kenya’s company to pay around $5,500 a month in rent ... until or unless she ends up vacating.

A couple of weeks after the judge made the decision, the landlord claimed Kenya’s company failed to pay the first installment by the court’s deadline and demanded possession of the property immediately. The court has yet to rule on the request.
