"America's Most Wanted" host John Walsh says America's spiraling crime stats, and criminals getting smarter are just 2 reasons why his famous show is returning to FOX.

John and his son, Callahan Walsh, are hosting the 'AMW' reboot, and they joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" to discuss how crime has changed since the show's initial heyday in the '90s and early 2000s.

It was way back in 1988 when 'AMW' premiered on FOX and John tells us crime is so bad these days, honchos at the FBI told him they wanted his show to return, so he could help bust criminals ... particularly in areas the agency considers "lawless."

Another change since the OG 'AMW' ... John says advances in technology are making it easier to find criminals -- but he points out some of that technology also gives the bad guys more tools to break laws, and get away with it.

There are plenty of new criminals for John and Callahan to track down on their reboot ... but they tell us their program will also take a crack at solving some cold cases too.

No one understands the importance of staying on cases like that more than the Walsh family -- John points out he waited 27 years for the police files that eventually helped solve his 6-year-old son Adam's 1981 abduction and murder.

The new 'AMW' premieres tonight at 8 PM ET on FOX, and the Walshes tell us they plan to keep fighting crime in Adam's honor.

Kim Kardashian is Balenciaga's newest mouthpiece ... a partnership that's raising eyebrows following the French fashion house's controversial campaign almost 2 years ago.

In a statement Monday, Kim was announced as the fashion house's latest brand ambassador -- and KK herself gushed over Balenciaga's impact on some of her most memorable looks to date ... adding she's a massive fan of their creative director Demna's modernity, craftsmanship, and innovative design approach.

She says she's excited about the brand's next chapter with herself as a face for the brand -- which she called a fitting link-up given their longstanding relationship. Interestingly, Kim also seemed to allude to the mess Balenciaga found itself in 2022 ... saying she their relationship is based on mutual trust and "commitment to doing what's right."

You'll recall ... Kim spoke out at the time after Balenciaga attempted to roll out a kid-featured BDSM shoot -- after which said she was re-evaluating her connection to the brand, which she suggested had left her disturbed. Ditto for the rest of the Internet, BTW ... lots of backlash.

Not only did the photos themselves piss people off ... but there were also court docs featured in the spread that referenced a famous child porn case pictured in the background.

That's why Kim seemingly changing her tune here has some surprised -- although, it's possible she and the honchos there at Balenciaga have come to some kind of agreement on this sort of stuff ... namely, don't get my ass in hot water again by pulling this sorta stunt.

Balenciaga went into damage control in the aftermath of the BDSM thing -- and on its face, it would appear they were able to calm her nerves and get her to agree to a major team-up.

The stalker problem in Hollywood has gotten so bad, that celebs are now having to hire PIs to track down these people to make sure they stay away ... including a famous violinist.

We did a ride-along with a seasoned vet in this industry -- a private investigator named Joe Dalu ... who was recently contracted by Lindsey Stirling to locate a man she claims has been stalking her and making her life a living hell.

Check out how Dalu explains this phenomenon to us in the car -- he says there are a lot of law enforcement agencies these days that don't want to serve stalkers with stay-away orders, out of fear of being attacked and harmed ... and as a result, there's no one left to do it.

That's where Joe comes in ... and you can see him doing the job here -- confronting a man who's alleged to be obsessed with Lindsey.

BTW, this guy has ties to hounding Taylor Swift too -- he's been obsessed with her for more than a year -- which just speaks to the larger issue.

El problema de los acosadores en Hollywood se ha agravado tanto que los famosos tienen que contratar a detectives privados para rastrear a estas personas y asegurarse de que se mantengan alejadas... incluida una famosa violinista.

Hicimos un paseo con un veterano experimentado en esta industria, un investigador privado llamado Joe DeLu, quien fue contratado recientemente por Lindsey Stirling para localizar a un hombre que ella afirma que la ha estado acosando y haciendo de su vida un infierno.

Échale un vistazo a cómo DeLu nos explica este fenómeno. Dice que hay un montón de agencias de la ley estos días que no quieren involucrarse con los acosadores con órdenes de alejamiento por temor a sner atacados, y como resultado, no queda nadie para hacerlo.

Ahí es donde entra Joe. Se le puede ver haciendo su trabajo, enfrentándose a un hombre que supuestamente está obsesionado con Lindsey.

Por cierto, este tipo también estuvo obsesionado con Taylor Swift durante más de un año, demostrando que es un problema aún más grande..

David Gail -- a soap opera star who acted in several episodes of "Beverly Hills, 90210" has died ... according to his sister.

The actor's sister, Katie Colmenares, shared the tragic news on Instagram Saturday  ... saying she'd "hold you so tight every day in my heart" and she'd miss him "every second of every day forever" -- she did not give a cause of death.

Peter Ferriero, host of a "Beverly Hills, 90210" rewatch podcast confirmed the death as well.

Gail's got numerous credits -- including seven appearances as 'BH: 90210' where he played Shannen Doherty's character's fiancé, Stuart Carson -- but he's best known for his work in the soap opera world.

David appeared on 216 episodes of the "General Hospital" spin-off Port Charles where he played Dr. Joe Scanlon #2, according to IMDb.

A few of Gail's other credits ... "Matlock," "Murder, She Wrote," "The Round Table," "Doogie Howser, M.D.," "Perfect Opposites" and "Growing Pains." He even starred alongside Bradley Cooper in the 2002 rom-com "Bending All The Rules."

Gail was 58.

Sofía Vergara se está desahogando, bailando en Miami y pasando el rato con el astro del fútbol en lugar de dejar que una nueva demanda la afecte.

La actriz colombianap-estadounidense llegó hasta Papi Steak Miami con Lionel Messi, disfrutando de cocina de alta categoría antes de sacudir sus curvas con algunas de sus amigas.

Échale un vistazo al video, se puede ver a Sofía aplaudiendo al ritmo de la música y básicamente haciéndose cargo de la discoteca.

Nuestras fuentes en la discoteca nos dicen que Sofía llegó con amigos alrededor de las 9 PM y festejó duro hasta alrededor de 1 AM. Se encontró con Lionel en el restaurante, ya que acababa de pasar por ahí, ¡supimos que se comió un filete de $1.000 según los informes con su esposa!

Messi trajo un par de amigos del fútbol al club: Luis Suárez y Jordi Alba, que no solo son leyendas del fútbol, además son compañeros de equipo con Messi en el Inter de Miami. Hablando de una foto de grupo llena de estrellas.

Es bueno ver que Sofía no se está estresando demasiado por su reciente drama legal. Nos enteramos de la historia, la reina de la droga, Griselda Blanco, está demandando a Vergara y a Netflix sobre su retrato en la nueva serie "Griselda".

Los hijos adultos de Blanco están liderando la demanda, con su hijo Michael alegando que el nuevo show a veces se apoya en las notas y anécdotas que tomó entre 2009 y 2022 y compartió con un productor de Netflix, el cual Michael dice que le aseguró que no iban a utilizar sus notas para hacer la serie.

Todo es bastante turbio, pero la conclusión es que quieren que el show quede en espera. Esto es una petición gigante, ya que está programado para salir el Jueves, dejandole muy poco tiempo al juez para que tome una decisión.

Sofia Vergara's blowing off some steam ... hitting the dancefloor in Miami and hanging out with soccer's G.O.A.T. -- instead of letting a new lawsuit get to her.

The Colombian-American actress hit up Papi Steak Miami with Lionel Messi ... chowing down on some costly cuisine before shaking her moneymaker with a few of her girlfriends.

Check out the video ... SV's clapping to the beat, grinding up on the ladies in her group and basically taking over the discotheque -- unsurprisingly looking great while doing it too.

Our sources from the club tell us ... Sofia pulled up with some friends around 9 PM ET and partied hard until around 1 AM -- she ran into Lionel at the restaurant who just happened to be there ... splitting a reportedly $1,000 steak with his wife!!!

Messi brought a couple of football friends to the club too ... Luis Suárez and Jordi Alba -- who are not only soccer legends but teammates with LM on Inter Miami. Talk about a star-studded group pic.

It's good to see Sofia's not stressing her recent legal drama too much. We broke the story ... convicted drug queen-pin Griselda Blanco's estate is suing Vergara and Netflix over her portrayal of GB in the new upcoming series "Griselda."

Blanco's adult children are leading the charge ... with her son Michael alleging the new show at times leans on notes and anecdotes he took down between 2009 and 2022 and shared with a Netflix producer -- who Michael says assured him they weren't gonna use his notes when they made the series.

It's aIl pretty murky, but the bottom line is the estate wants the show put on hold ... a tall order since it's set to come out on the streamer Thursday -- not leaving much time for a judge to rule in their favor.

Dave Chappelle le está respondiendo a Katt Williams y parece bastante enojado.

El controvertido actor y comediante hizo un stand-up en el San José Improv el viernes por la noche, donde compartió su decepción con Katt. Resulta que estaba particularmente indignado de que su compañero comediante hiciera bromas a costa de exclusivamente comediantes afroamericanos.

Dave dijo: "No dijo nada sobre ninguno de estos chicos blancos. Ninguno de estos chicos blancos funciona así". Básicamente, Dave parece estar diciendo que no está viendo comediantes blancos atacándose entre sí, sin embargo, Katt hizo todo lo contrario, despotricando contra comediantes afroamericanos.

Chappelle añadió que "las personas heridas daña a la gente", y reconoció que él mismo es una persona herida... y no se le ve lanzando veneno a sus compañeros cómicos.

Él defendió a un par de objetivos de Katt, específicamente a Cedric the Entertainer y Steve Harvey. Aunque a ambos les dieron duro en el escenario.

Cedric se llevó la peor parte. Chappelle dijo que ir después de Cedric no tenía sentido (Katt dijo que robaba chistes), ya que es "viejo" y "gordo". Poadríamos pensar que Cedric tiene a Dave entre ceja y ceja por esos adjetivos.

En cuanto a Steve, Dave dijo que no debería recibir ningún ataque porque está fuera del juego de stand-up en este momento, centrándose más en la presentación de programas de televisión como "Family Feud" y "Judge Steve Harvey".

Chappelle añadió su imitación de Katt también -lleno de blasfemias y una voz aguda- antes de señalar que Katt nunca se enfocó en sí mismo, y en lugar de eso se preocupó de lo que los otros comediantes afroamericanos se decían el uno al otro.

Otro gran momento fue cuando Dave rechazó la afirmación de que lo que hizo Katt era bueno para la comedia -un argumento que el comediante Deray Davis trató de demostrar en el escenario- diciendo que él lanzó un especial el mismo día de la entrevista y lo hizo bien.

Si aún no has oído los comentarios de Williams... ¡maldita sea, fueron muchos! Le lanzó veneno a Cedric, Steve, Ludacris, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, Trick Daddy y muchos más. Algunos le han respondido a Katt, mientras que otros se han mantenido en silencio.

Dave Chappelle's responding to Katt Williams' viral Club Shay Shay interview ... and he's pissed about who KW went and fired at.

The controversial actor/comedian did a stand-up set at MonDeRays at the Hollywood Improv Friday night where he shared his disappointment with Katt -- particularly outraged that his fellow comedian exclusively went after Black comedians.

DC said, "He ethered n*****. He didn't say anything about any of these white boys. None of these white boys function like that." Basically, Dave seems to be saying he's not seeing white comedians rake each other over the coals ... but Katt went after a whole lotta Black artists.

Chappelle added that "hurt people hurt people," but acknowledged he, himself, is also a hurt person ... and you don't see him throwing shade at his fellow comics.

He did defend a couple of Katt's targets -- specifically Cedric the Entertainer and Steve Harvey -- though both guys caught a couple strays in his defense.

CTE got it worse ... Chappelle said going after Cedric -- who Katt said was stealing jokes -- makes no sense because he's "old" and "fat" ... ya gotta think Cedric might be throwing a bit of side-eye at Dave for those adjectives.

As for SH, Dave said he shouldn't draw any ire because he's out of the stand-up game at this point -- focusing more on hosting TV shows like "Family Feud" and "Judge Steve Harvey."

Chappelle added his impersonation of Katt too -- full of profanity and a high-pitched voice -- before pointing out KW never really copped to anything he did ... instead choosing to focus on what other comedians did to one another.

Another big moment ... Dave rejected the claim what Katt did was good for comedy -- an argument comedian Deray Davis tried to make onstage -- saying quite simply that he put a special out the same day as the interview ... and it did fine.

If you haven't heard Williams' comments by now ... damn, there were a lot! He went after Cedric, Steve, Ludacris, Kevin Hart, Tiffany Haddish, Trick Daddy and a crap ton more -- some have responded to Katt while others have stayed quiet.

Jacob Elordi tomó las riendas de 'SNL' el sábado por la noche y su monólogo, como era de esperar, comenzó con LA escena de sexo de "Saltburn".

SPOILER: El personaje de Jacob, Felix, muere y el personaje de Barry Keoghan tiene sexo en su tumba.

Jacob fue directo al grano: "Si viste la película, gracias. Si viste la película con tus padres, lo siento. Si viste la película con tu novia, de nada".

El actor australiano, que dio el puntapié inicial al primer "SNL" del año, respondió a las preguntas del público/cast, incluida una en la que le preguntaron por esa escena "asquerosa" de su película. El pobre Jacob pensó que se refería a "Saltburn", pero en realidad se refería a "The Kissing Booth".

No hay rastro de Olivia Jade durante el show, pero fue vista en un afterparty. Los dos han estado saliendo desde finales de 2021 y alla estuvo allí durante los ensayos.

Jacob está de buena racha, aparte de "Saltburn" y "Kissing Booth", protagonizó "Priscilla" el año pasado. También protagoniza "He Went That Way", que fue lanzado a principios de este mes.

Jacob Elordi took over the reins at 'SNL' Saturday night, and his monologue predictably began with THAT "Saltburn" sex scene.

SPOILER -- Jacob's character, Felix, dies and Barry Keoghan's character has sex on his grave.

Jacob got straight to the point ... "If you saw the movie, thank you. If you saw the movie with your parents, I'm sorry. If you saw the movie with your girlfriend, you're welcome."

The Aussie actor, who kicked off the first "SNL" of the year, took questions from the audience/cast, including one where he was asked about that "gross" scene in his movie. Poor Jacob thought it was about "Saltburn," but she was actually referring to "The Kissing Booth."

No sign of Olivia Jade during the show ... but she was spotted at an afterparty ... the two've been dating since the end of 2021. She was there during rehearsals.

Jacob's on quite the run ... aside from "Saltburn" and "Kissing Booth," he starred in "Priscilla" last year. He also stars in "He Went That Way," which was released earlier this month.

Another week has come and gone at TMZ -- and best believe we covered all the big hits in Hollywood on our shows ... which ran the gamut from serious to downright fun(ny).

Kicking things off with 'TMZ Live,' we dove right in on the newest Alec Baldwin news -- namely, that he's being recharged in the ongoing 'Rust' criminal case ... from which he was absolved for a while -- that is, until Friday ... when he got with new charges again.

Harvey and Charles were asking the obvious question -- what changed between them dropping the initial charges and this new one ... and they think they have an idea.

Over on the 'TMZ on TV' side of things ... the gang talked about these new hints that Justin Timberlake's dropping new music, and seems to be calling his album a certain title.

We did some digging and pieced together what that may be -- but the larger takeaway here is ... JT needs this one to do it big, 'cause he's kinda been slacking in the hits department.

Last but not least ... we come to 'TMZ Sports,' where Babcock and Mojo chopped it up with none other than Rob Gronkowski -- who says he's ready to rage ahead of the Super Bowl.

The relationship between Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco is so serious that she's now introducing him to her fatherly figure TV costars Steve Martin and Martin Short.

TMZ obtained these photos of Selena and Benny interacting with Steve and Martin on the red carpet at the 75th Annual Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles last Monday.

As you may know, Selena, Steve, and Martin all star in the hit Hulu show, "Only Murders In The Building," which was up for 11 Emmy Awards, but snagged only one statue for Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Program (Half-Hour).

Eyewitnesses tell us ... the meeting between the four celebs occurred just prior to the kick-off of the gala event. Selena was first to approach Steve and Martin on the red carpet, giving them big hugs before chatting with them a bit.

Our sources say she then introduced her record producer boyfriend, Benny, to her costars, while the three men shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.

Sources tell us everyone got along great and it seemed as if Selena was presenting her new beau for the first time to a couple of fatherly figures in her life. Of course, we can't be sure if they had ever met before this encounter.

After talking amongst each other for about five minutes, the foursome left the red carpet to go inside the theater for the awards show.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West showed up for their son Saint's basketball game Friday night – and the former couple came together and did their best to hide the multitude of issues between them.

Kanye arrived separately from Kim and their daughter, Chicago, at the sporting event in LA Friday night. While rooting on Saint during the match-up, Kim and Kanye had an interaction, which was photographed by paparazzi.

Check out the images, obtained by TMZ ... Kim is standing beside Kanye with Chicago between them, talking to the rapper about something. What they discussed is anyone's guess.

Other pictures captured the exes sitting in the same row but several chairs apart with Kanye texting on his phone and Kim chatting with Saint. Their other kids -- North and Psalm — did not attend the game.

As we reported, Kim and Kanye finalized their divorce in 2022 after 7 years of marriage and have been co-parenting ever since. The pair have reunited before at various gatherings, but only in support of their children.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... behind the scenes there have been problems with various child-rearing issues ... where Kim and Kanye don't see eye to eye. And, we're told, Kim is super upset over Kanye's latest torrent of antisemitic rants, praising Hitler and the Nazis.

Kim Kardashian y Kanye West se presentaron para el partido de básquetbol de su hijo Saint el viernes por la noche e hicieron todo lo posible por ocultar la gran cantidad de problemas que hay entre ellos.

Kanye llegó por separado de Kim y su hija, Chicago, al evento deportivo de Los Ángeles. Mientras animaban a Saint durante el partido, ambos tuvieron una interacción, que fue fotografiada por los paparazzi.

Echa un vistazo a las imágenes obtenidas por TMZ. Kim está de pie junto a Kanye con Chicago entre ellos, hablando con el rapero sobre algo. Lo que discutieron es una incógnita.

Otras imágenes capturaron a los ex sentados en la misma fila, aunque había varias sillas de distancia entre ellos. Kanye estaba enviando mensajes de texto en su teléfono y Kim estaba charlando con Saint. Sus otros hijos, North y Psalm, no asistieron al partido.

Como informamos, Kim y Kanye pusieron fin a su divorcio en 2022 después de 7 años de matrimonio y desde entonces han criado a sus hijos juntos. La pareja se ha encontrado antes para otras reuniones, pero solo para apoyar a sus hijos.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que detrás de cámaras ha habido varios problemas respecto a la crianza de sus hijos, en los que Kim y Kanye no se ven cara a cara. Y nos dicen que Kim está súper molesta por la última diatriba antisemita de Kanye, alabando a Hitler y los nazis.

1/20 10:23 AM PT -- Rick Harrison posted a tribute to Adam on his Instagram saying "You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam. 💔"

Fans and celebs left supportive comments on his post, including Donald Trump Jr., who stated "I'm so sorry man."

And, his brother Corey also took to Insta to post a sweet message with a pic of the two in the tub together as kids.

6:46 PM PT -- The Harrison family tells TMZ ... "Our family is extremely saddened by the death of Adam. We ask for privacy as we grieve his loss."

Rick Harrison's son Adam has died under tragic circumstances ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for the 'Pawn Stars' reality star tells us Adam recently died from a fatal overdose ... and we're told the family only just found out today. At this time, it's unclear where Adam was exactly when he passed -- and the specific circumstances are also unknown at this time.

Las Vegas Metro PD tells us they're investigating the case.

Adam is one of Rick's three kids -- all boys -- and he's been mostly off the radar in terms of Rick's show and store. Word is ... Adam helped out at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop once upon a time -- but has since stepped away to do his own thing.

He doesn't appear to have been featured in any of the episodes from what we can see.

Rick had two kids with his first wife Kim ... Corey and Adam -- and he also had a son, Jake, with his second wife, Tracy.

While Rick's oldest son Corey is heavily involved in "Pawn Stars," first appearing on the reality show way back in 2009, Adam mostly remained out of the spotlight.

With Adam never really getting involved on the show, there's not a lot known about him ... though some folks have claimed he made a living as a plumber. We've heard he worked professionally in some kind of trade, but no word on what kind of job specifically.

Adam was only 39.

RIP
