Teen tech whiz Zach Yadegari is giving us a major update on his life after he sold his calorie-counting app a year after we first learned about it ... and he's now considering his options after half a year in college.

Zach stopped by "TMZ Live" Tuesday and spilled a few details about the multimillion-dollar deal selling the company he started at age 16 ... now 19, he's taking a "gap semester" after half his freshman year at the University of Miami ... one of the few schools that accepted him somehow, with his multimillion-dollar brain!

You might remember ... he told us last year he got rejected from most of the Ivies -- and now he admits his time at Miami could be wrapping up early ... after taking a cue from Steve Jobs and taking classes on just whatever he's found interesting. Watch the full clip for more on how that experiment's gone so far.

Rapper Ghetts is headed to prison for a long stretch ... but a new season of Netflix's "Supacell" -- a show in which he starred -- is still on the way ... though Netflix is being tight-lipped about the production.

Netflix confirmed to us production is underway for the popular British superhero series ... but refused to shine a light on what impact, if any, the development has on the show.

And that's a good question ... 'cause in "Supacell," Ghetts played the brutal villain Craig -- AKA "Krazy" -- whose fate was left somewhat ambiguous at the end of the first season.

Parker Posey isn't surprised about Mike White's 6-pack at all ... telling us "The White Lotus" creator works out like crazy -- and he's got a trainer to boot.

We caught up with the longtime actress at LAX Monday ... and since she starred in Season 3 of the hit HBO show last year, we had to ask her about White's shocking physique.

Remember ... White ripped off his shirt on the "Survivor 50" premiere last week, and his toned body certainly turned heads.

Todd Meadows -- a rookie deckhand on a fishing vessel featured on "Deadliest Catch" -- died at sea last week ... and now the U.S. Coast Guard is investigating his death, TMZ has learned.

A Coast Guard rep tells us ... "On February 25, 2026, at 5:05 PM local Alaska time, Coast Guard watchstanders at the Arctic District command center in Juneau received notification from the fishing vessel Aleutian Lady, reporting that a crew member by the name of Todd Meadows fell overboard approximately 170 miles north of Dutch Harbor. He was recovered unresponsive by the crew approximately ten minutes later. First aid and attempts to resuscitate were unsuccessful, and the crew transported the deceased to Dutch Harbor."

They added ... "The Coast Guard is currently investigating this situation. As the nation’s leading marine safety organization, the Coast Guard investigates marine casualties and accidents to uncover their causes and initiate necessary corrective actions."

Dr. Phil is removing clips from Danielle Bregoli’s infamous episode from his Facebook page … this after her mother torched him over it -- though we’re told it’s not actually his doing.

ICYMI … Danielle’s mom, Barbara, took to Instagram to call out the famous TV doc after clips from the nearly decade-old episode were shared on his popular FB page -- which boasts more than 10 million followers.

However, a spokesperson for Dr. Phil tells TMZ ... “A third party controls the Facebook page and no one currently on Dr. Phil’s staff condones the posts.” 

Dr. Terry Dubrow says folks are being super mean to Jim Carrey ... he says the guy is allowed to age ... and he isn't buying conspiracy theories regarding cloning.

We got the "Botched" star Monday night at Craig's in West Hollywood ... and our photog asked him about Jim's appearance at a recent award show in Paris that has folks buzzing.

Dr. Dubrow says Jim has looked so young for so long that people are shocked when his face ages ... the guy is 64 years old for crying out loud ... and the good doc says everyone ages, even in Hollywood.

Bethenny Frankel is allegedly dragging her feet on being deposed in a multimillion-dollar battle over issues with her divorce ... but the reality star's lawyer adamantly denies she's dragging it out ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Bethenny’s former lawyer, Jamie Schreck, claims the 'RHONY' alum has not been providing dates for her to be deposed ... since 2022.

Jamie said Bethenny has “abandoned” the case, “failing to prosecute or do anything on it for nearly four years.” He said she has not responded to his offer to settle the case for $25K ... in addition to not providing available dates to be deposed. Bethenny and her team have since engaged with the suit and dispute she ever abandoned the case.

"American Idol" alum Caleb Flynn is seen getting emotional while asking an officer where his wife's dead body went ... after she was murdered inside their Tipp City, Ohio home.

Check out the body cam video released by police -- Flynn, who has since been charged with his wife Ashley's murder -- wonders if she's been taken to a funeral home. Clearly, this video was recorded not long after her corpse was found deceased in bed ... because the officer says she is still located exactly where she took her last breath.

Police unloaded tons of body cam footage from their initial investigation, including video of Caleb being cuffed and processed at the station ... it's all in the clip. He was arrested Thursday by the Tipp City PD and booked into the county jail for murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence.

Caroline Brooks plans to get out of Dubai following the recent missile strikes from Iran ... TMZ has learned.

"The Real Housewives of Dubai" star tells TMZ ... her family intends to book flights as soon as possible and head straight to Boston to stay with her parents. She says her son is terrified to fly in what he sees as a war zone, so she's doing everything she can to calm him down before they travel.

Airports in the United Arab Emirates city -- just across the Persian Gulf from Iran -- have reopened after being shut down for roughly 48 hours amid escalating conflict. However, only select flights are operating under restricted airspace conditions, and many routes remain canceled or delayed.

We had Caroline on TMZ Live on Tuesday where she discussed the current climate in the region.

Mauricio Umansky has been jumping into the dating pool after his separation from Kyle Richards, but he hasn't found anyone worthy of being his new woman ... and it sounds like he's just fine with his situation.

Mauricio makes a point to declare he's single ... and happy flying solo.

After Ghetts finishes his stint, he still won't be able to drive for some time ... his driving privileges have been revoked for 17 years.

Kevin O'Leary was out in these streets wearing an outfit that provoked Don Lemon to catcall him from traffic ... as seen in a hilarious new clip.

We spotted the stars leaving legendary West Hollywood restaurant Craig's Monday night ... stepping out separately. While "Shark Tank" star O'Leary's walking out of the joint, Lemon rolls down the window of his SUV and yells out, "That coat is gayer than me."

The assembled crowd on the sidewalk breaks out in laughter, and KOL takes it on the chin ... thanking Don for the compliment before the veteran newsman departs.

Before this cute kid -- with a fake mustache on his face -- was starring on Comedy Central, he was just growing up in chilly Michigan and studying theater at Wayne State University ...

He co-starred on "Detroiters" and played Richard Splett on the HBO political comedy series "Veep."

Can you guess who he is?

After you've named the kid in question, test your HBO trivia:

Hailey Glassman -- best known as Jon Gosselin's ex-girlfriend -- and celebrity makeup artist Daisy Toye, a longtime glam pro for Martha Stewart, have joined the cast of "The Real Housewives of New York City" for season 16.

Hailey, who's a public relations pro, shot to fame in 2009 when she dated Jon in the immediate aftermath of his explosive split from Kate Gosselin. The two were together for several months with their whirlwind romance playing out in the tabloids before they ultimately called it quits by the end of 2009.

Daisy, meanwhile, brings serious polish to the franchise. She's spent years working high-profile shoots, red carpets and media appearances. Daisy's connection to New York City's elite social and beauty circles makes her a natural fit for the franchise's next era.

What's more, Pinky says she owes another $192,000 in total to the Georgia Department of Revenue.

Martin Short's recent family tragedy is not impacting production on "Only Murders in the Building" ... TMZ has learned.

However, because the upcoming season is set to film in London, our sources say production isn't scheduled to begin for a couple more months.

We're told no production schedules have been affected following the death of Short's daughter, Katherine Short.
