Kyle Cooke could use some laughs after all of his recent "Summer House" drama -- and laughs are exactly what he got Saturday night at NBC studios in NYC.

Kyle and his fellow "Summer House" star, Carl Radke, showed up together in the waiting area of "Saturday Night Live," where fans of 'SNL' were gathered before the show kicked off.

TMZ obtained footage that captured Kyle and Carl posing for pics with their pals comedian Chanel Omari and PR maven Ali Lasky in a photo booth. The group was in high spirits, grinning and laughing as they captured the moment.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and FBI Director Kash Patel came under some heavy fire on "Saturday Night Live" over their alleged drinking habits -- and the jokes were so scathing, the two must be waking up with splitting headaches!

'SNL' regular Colin Jost kicked things off playing Hegseth in the opening sketch, walking out to a podium for a press conference with an oversized glass of Scotch on the rocks gripped in his hand.

Jost mockingly tells reporters, "I said I only had one," and then hands the glass to castmate Ashley Padilla, who played pregnant White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. As Jost passed the glass, he said, "Here you go, for the baby."

Taylor Frankie Paul hasn't been totally banned from "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" ... in fact, one top producer is keeping her fingers crossed she'll appear on the upcoming season.

Jeff Jenkins discussed Paul possibly coming back to the hit reality show during Deadline’s Reality TV Summit on Friday ... and, he says he had a long talk with Taylor the other day -- and, she's very grounded and composed.

Jeff brings up her recent court appearance where she and Dakota Moretensen got permanent restraining orders against each other ... noting its exactly what Taylor wanted.

Audrina Patridge is backing Spencer Pratt's mayoral run ... saying she knows he'll deliver on his promises.

We caught up with "The Hills" star at the Calamigos Ranch Resort & Spa for the Leading Hotels of the World Accreditation event Friday night ... and, we asked her about her former costar's run for L.A. mayor.

Patridge says, once she realized he wasn't joking, she was downright impressed with Spencer's campaign ... adding she knows firsthand how determined he is once he puts his mind to something.

Miranda Hope's using music to vent her frustrations with her ex-husband, Chase McWhorter ... channeling her inner Blink-182 and slamming him in a new TikTok.

The "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star hopped on the new viral trend of turning text messages into different genres of music ... mostly gospel songs -- though Hope went with the punk rock approach.

Check out the clip ... the song is certainly catchy -- and really gives fans an inside look on what it's like for Hope to text her ex.

It's over for "Love is Blind" Season 10 stars Brianna "Breezy" McNees and Connor Spies.

Connor ended things about 3 weeks ago, TMZ has learned. Sources say he's back in the dating game.

The pair fell head over heels for one another when they filmed the series in 2025, but fans saw them hit obstacles when they moved in with one another in Columbus, Ohio. Bri struggled with juggling their new relationship and her demanding job, and admitted she was unsure if Connor was ready for marriage.

"Dance Moms" alum Kalani Goldman is making a major move off-screen ... she’s officially opening her own dance studio.

Kalani recently signed a lease on April 19 and tells TMZ she chose a spot in North Scottsdale, close to where she grew up -- right near the intersection of Thunderbird and Scottsdale Road -- saying the location just “felt right” as she looks to build the next generation of dancers.

The space is no small operation either ... Kalani says the studio clocks in at about 3,500 square feet and includes three separate rooms for classes and training.

'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star Kathy Hilton said the house guest suing her over an alleged fall at her Bel Air mansion may have caused her own injuries ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Kathy denied the allegations in the lawsuit brought by a woman named Kimberly Heffington.

Kathy raised an affirmative defense in the docs, indicating that she may argue the injuries sustained by Kimberly were caused by her exposing herself to a “known danger.”

Gwen Farrell Adair, best known for her work in the classic TV show "M*A*S*H" ... and, more importantly, for being the first licensed woman boxing referee, has died.

Keith Farrell, her son, tells TMZ ... Gwen died yesterday in Sherman Oaks ... of natural causes.

Gwen appeared on "M*A*S*H" and "Billy Jack" ... but her real legacy began in 1980, when she stepped into the boxing world as a referee -- an unheard of move at the time. Per her family ... she earned the respect of fighters, trainers, and fans alike while she broke barriers.

A GoFundMe has been set up to help the family with funeral and memorial expenses ... the post states in part ... "Her passing leaves a deep void in our hearts, one that cannot be filled. We will miss her voice, her strength, and the quiet comfort she brought into our lives. While we are heartbroken, we are also incredibly grateful for the life she lived and the legacy she leaves behind."

Gwen was 94.

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Chase McWhorter is making one thing clear ... when it comes to the show, the women are in charge.

We caught up with Chase in New York, and he told us he leaves all filming decisions up to the ladies of 'SLOMW' ... saying they know what’s best when it comes to what ends up on screen -- and as for whether the show is coming back, he teased it could be, but added the women would have the real scoop.

Chase also dished on his recent connection to "Unwell Winter Games" star Hallie Batchelder, telling us he’s been a longtime fan and finally meeting her felt like a dream. He says he followed her online before they linked up at Coachella and admits he was “stoked” to meet her in person.

If Dakota Mortensen had any chance of returning to "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" with production looming on the horizon ... it was pretty much torpedoed after the recent court hearing with ex Taylor Frankie Paul.

A source with knowledge tells TMZ ... after yesterday's custody hearing -- where the judge extended the couple's restraining orders for three years -- it's highly unlikely Dakota will be appearing on future episodes of 'SLOMW.' We're told the door is open for TFP to come back ... but she's yet to commit.

It all makes sense ... Taylor is one of the stars of the popular Hulu series -- it's 'WIVES' after all -- so that makes Dakota her plus-one. For the moment, it's all moot because word is cameras are not even up yet after production was paused over the couple's drama.

Kara Swisher has a dire warning about A.I. ... despite the technological miracles it brings to your life, it's also fueling a worldwide loneliness epidemic, and it just can't replace human interaction.

The famed technology journalist is also hosting the new series "Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever" on CNN, and she joined us Friday for a convo on "TMZ Live" about the rise of humans befriending A.I. chatbots.

Kara says she needs to remind people that A.I. isn't like human beings ... it's a synthetic sycophant desperate to keep users' attention, not a friend that exists in our three-dimensional world.

Sherri Shepherd won't be sitting around and twiddling her thumbs now that she's taped the final live episode of her talk show "Sherri" ... she's weighing her career options -- including turning her show into a podcast.

We caught up with the star in New York City Thursday ... and we had to ask what she's got coming up after she's officially completed "Sherri," which has been cancelled after four seasons.

Shepherd says she's not sure if she would start producing a version of "Sherri" for YouTube or make a podcast ... since the market is saturated with millions of other listening options.

Jimmy Kimmel will once again be appearing at upfronts for Disney's ABC ... just like he's done for the past 20 years, TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources tell us ... Jimmy will be there -- news that would usually make for a ho-hum headline, but with all the drama in which he's been ensnared with President Donald Trump, interest in whether he'd be at the key TV advertising event was piqued.

It appears that Jimmy being there is status quo -- but of course, his most recent spat with Trump's White House has dominated media coverage -- even though it sure seems to already be dwindling.

Netflix reality star Louis Russell -- who is dating Huda Mustafa of "Love Island USA" -- has been in a court battle with his baby mama, Nicole Olivera ... who submitted alleged texts from Huda crashing out as evidence ... TMZ has learned.  

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Nicole showed the judge a ton of messages she claims Huda sent Louis ... showing Huda freaking out about her BF not answering. 

In one screenshot, Huda allegedly writes to her BF, "IM LOSING MY MIND. I CAN’T … LOUIS HOW CAN U DO THIS. HOWWW. U DONT POVE ME. YOU DONT LOVE ME. U WANT ME TO DIE. U WANTED THIS. I HOPE UR SORRY."
 

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's recent rough press appearances have the "Jersey Shore" crew buzzing ... and now 'The Situation' is stepping in with a reality check.

Mike Sorrentino is finally breaking his silence on his costar, Ronnie ... after a string of concerning moments during the press tour for "Jersey Shore: Family Vacation."

"I want to be clear that I am not responsible for the actions of any other cast member."

That's the line Mike drew in a lengthy Instagram comment posted after fans noticed he hadn't initially addressed Ronnie's behavior -- despite highlighting his own rehabilitation facility in a post.
