American actor and musician Reid Ewing was 20 years old when he first started playing Dylan -- Haley's on-and-off boyfriend who isn't the sharpest tool in the shed -- on the hit show "Modern Family" back in 2009.

Ewing was part of an ensemble cast including Sarah Hyland, Sofía Vergara, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Taylor Sheridan, Paramount, and NBCUniversal are all being sued by a woman who claims she came up with the building blocks for "Yellowstone" ... and she says they stole her idea.

Lauren J. Salkin -- an entertainment journalist and TV writer -- filed the federal lawsuit in California against several parties Friday ... claiming that in 2016 and 2017 she submitted a pilot script and additional materials for a show titled "Sovereign Nation" to Taylor's production company.

She says she knows these materials were reviewed because she received a note from Elevate Entertainment that reads, "Taylor thanks you very much for your interest. Unfortunately, he's unavailable for TV projects."

However, she says within months, Paramount greenlit Sheridan's show "Yellowstone" ... which aired its first episode in June 2018. Salkin says the similarities between her show and Taylor's are too numerous to be a coincidence.

Princess Diana died because a drunk driver careened into a pillar -- so the official story goes, but a new show casts doubt on that ... and even raises the specter of foul play.

"Celebrity Crime Scene: Princess Diana" takes a hard look at the evidence and raises serious questions about driver Henri Paul's condition at the time of the crash. Fact is, Paul may not have been drunk at all.

Using state-of-the-art A.I. technology, the show recreates the crash from angles never before seen, and 2 mysterious cars -- one inside the tunnel and one outside -- raise questions about whether this was really an accident or something far more sinister.

Nick Cannon will be taking "Wild N' Out" and its hilarious jokes on the road full-time... because we've learned they're leaving their traditional format behind to focus on the live tour.

Rip Micheals -- one of the executive producers of "Wild N' Out" -- tells TMZ ... the show is officially getting rid of its traditional format, which saw the show film at a central location with an in-studio audience.

For the next season, Rip says the show will be doing a live tour and taping it ... collecting the footage from a series of different cities ... much like the hit show "Verzuz."

Sarah Jane Nader's pirouetting into the new season of "Dancing with the Stars" just like Brooks did a couple of years ago ... but there's one big difference ... sources tell us Sarah is paired up with a female pro.

The brunette bombshell was spotted leaving the 'DWTS' dance studio Thursday in a low-cut black athletic top and form-fitting sweats ... keeping a low profile with an opaque facial covering obscuring her features, while making sure to show plenty of cleavage.

Other big-name contestants include Jenna Dewan, Tatyana Ali, Tyler Cameron and Jimmy Kimmel's sidekick Guillermo.

Before this silly girl making a face at the camera turned into an actress, she was just growing up in North Carolina -- singing, dancing, and acting!

When she's not acting alongside her costars Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline, she enjoys doing her makeup -- you may recall her Fenty Beauty posts.

Patrick Mendes claims his estranged wife, Thais Ramone, stepped out on him ... and when he discovered her alleged affair, he claims she kicked him out of the house.

The "90 Day Fiancé" star made the allegations against Thais in a new legal document filed Wednesday ... telling the court he found out about Thais' alleged affair on or around April 11, 2026.

He says that after he found out Thais was cheating on him, she demanded he leave their marital home. Patrick says he vacated the house on May 6.

Julia Stiles and Tatyana Ali are getting ready to bust a move ... because TMZ has heard they are among the cast for this season's "Dancing with the Stars."

Production sources tell TMZ ... the actresses have been tapped for the upcoming 35th season ... joining Guillermo Rodriguez, Maura Higgins, and Ciara Miller.

As you know ... Tatyana starred on "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" and "The Young and the Restless" -- and Julia was the leading lady in the classic flicks "10 Things I Hate About You" and "Save the Last Dance."

The Pogues are setting sail one last time ... and we're taking a trip down memory lane before "Outer Banks" rides off into the sunset!

Princess Diana's death in the horrendous fatal car crash was ruled an accident, but it turns out Diana had powerful enemies who may have been willing to stop at nothing to protect their fortune.

"Celebrity Crime Scene: Princess Diana" explores a murder theory that has been simmering for decades. Diana's campaign to ban landmines had drawn the ire of international arms dealers. Diana was lobbying the U.S. Government to sign a treaty to outlaw landmines, and that would have cost the arms dealers billions.

The show uses state-of-the-art A.I. technology to recreate the crash in ways that have never been seen before. You see the crash from multiple angles, including Diana's POV as she sat in the back seat of the Mercedes.

John Wayne Bobbitt says Hulu is about to tell his infamous story without hearing his side ... and he's already calling BS on the narrative.

John tells TMZ ... no one from "Good American Family" has contacted him about its newly announced second season, which will revisit the 1993 case that made him and Lorena Bobbitt household names.

In 1993, Lorena famously cut off John's penis with a kitchen knife while he was sleeping, then drove away and tossed it from her car ... it was later recovered and surgically reattached.

John says he'd gladly sit down with producers to "go over the details of what happened in our relationship" ... but fears the show will instead lean on Lorena's version of events.

Jenna Dewan and Bachelor Nation fan favorite Tyler Cameron are ready to cut a rug ... because they've reportedly joined the upcoming season of "Dancing with the Stars."

Tyler's addition has fans all worked up ... it's been 5 years since his best bud and former Bachelor Matt James competed on the show with pro Lindsay Arnold.

The full list of celebs and pros won't drop until next month ... but TMZ was first to report that Jimmy Kimmel's sidekick, Guillermo Rodriguez, will be a part of this season.

Tracy Tutor is moving from one Bravo franchise to another … signing on for the new season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" … TMZ has learned.

It's unclear whether Tracy will be a full-time Housewife or appear in a "friend of" role.
