Jeffrey Epstein was anything but squeaky clean ... but a new photo shows the late child sex predator taking a bubble bath ... and as with anything Epstein, it's heavy on the creep factor.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee just released another batch of photos sent to them by Epstein's estate ... and the highlight -- or lowlight -- here is this creepy snap of Epstein peering around the shower curtain as he sits in a tub full of suds.

JE is looking into the camera with a glint in his eyes as he rests his head on a towel, and the curtain is hiding the rest of his body from the chest down ... so no money shot of his alleged egg-shaped penis.

Tyler Robinson -- the 22-year-old man who prosecutors say murdered Charlie Kirk -- made his first in-person court appearance Thursday.

Robinson's father, mother and brother were present as both sides were able to come to an agreement with regard to the degree of media access granted throughout the ongoing court proceedings.

It appears CBS is taking another look at David Del Rio and his sexual assault allegation leveled against him by his "Matlock" costar ... because TMZ has learned the studio has reopened its investigation.

TMZ broke the news ... Del Rio was booted from the hit show after the actor had been accused of sexually assaulting actress Leah Lewis on Paramount property back in October.

Now, multiple sources close to David tell TMZ ... the investigation was reopened prior to Thanksgiving ... and more parties have been interviewed, including David himself alongside his high-powered attorney, Shawn Holley.

There's trouble in the grand jury room where witnesses are testifying about the circumstances surrounding Celeste Rivas' death ... because at least one witness is so uncooperative she's about to be arrested ... TMZ has learned.

Here's the way it went down ... Beth Silverman, the deputy D.A. presenting the case in Los Angeles, came out into the hallway Wednesday afternoon and approached attorney Evan Jenness. She represents Robert Morgenroth, who manages singer D4vd.

Silverman told Jenness she was going to have the judge issue a "body attachment" ... to force a female witness to testify before the grand jury. It appears the female witness was a no-show, and a visibly frustrated Silverman said she would have authorities take the female witness into custody and bring her to the courtroom.

We do not know who the female witness is, but it's interesting she's represented by the same lawyer as Morgenroth, who spent around 3 days testifying before the grand jury.

The General Manager of Mogul Vision, D4vd's record label -- who appeared before the grand jury for the last 2 days regarding the death of Celeste Rivas -- was way more than a record exec ... he was involved in D4vd's day-to-day life.

Robert Morgenroth is someone the grand jury prosecutor is intensely interested in ... as we reported, we overheard him say in the courtroom hallway that the prosecutor hammered him on why he didn't call the police. We don't know the context, but it's clear it involved D4vd, because he's a suspect in Celeste's death.

Morgenroth is way more than a G.M. -- he was also D4vd's day-to-day manager. Turns out, there were 2 managers. The other is Josh Marshall, who actually founded Mogul Vision and, along with Morgenroth, managed the singer's career.

You may remember Marshall ... he's the one who signed the lease on the house D4vd was living in -- the home police searched shortly after Celeste's body was discovered in D4vd's Tesla. Law enforcement sources say the house is an important piece of the puzzle, which the LAPD believes implicates D4vd in Celeste's death ... which police believe is a murder.

Morgenroth is also the President of Zara Brothers Travel, D4vd's tour company.

While the dating rumors surrounding aespa's Winter and BTS' Jung Kook continue to heat up, the girl group's agency, SM Entertainment, is reportedly taking legal action in response to the backlash its singer is receiving.

Speculation about the two K-Pop idols dating started back in 2023 ... but have recently gained more traction with fans noticing them sporting similar 'fits and what appear to be matching tattoos.

Positive reactions to the potential romance have hit social media, but there has also been a ton of backlash from people who disapprove ... forcing aespa's label to step in to protect Winter from posts that they feel have crossed the line.

SM stated, "In particular, we have identified numerous acts damaging Winter’s character and reputation, as well as malicious postings and sexually harassing content made with the intention of publicly slandering the artist ... After reviewing these posts, we will be expanding the filing of complaints in stages."

New police body camera footage shows the moment cops in Pennsylvania first interacted with Luigi Mangione inside the McDonald's where he was arrested.

The footage was released Tuesday -- exactly one year after his arrest -- and it shows two cops going inside the Altoona, PA McDonald's and questioning Luigi.

In the video, one of the officers first struts by Luigi to test how he reacts, but Luigi plays it cool, sitting at a table with his food.

Police ask Luigi his name and he lowers his face mask and identifies himself as "Mark Rosario," and he hands officers a New Jersey I.D.

The president of D4vd's touring company was grilled Monday by a deputy district attorney in front of a grand jury ... on why he didn't call the cops.

A grand jury is hearing evidence in the death of Celeste Rivas. TMZ broke the story ... LAPD's Robbery Homicide Division is considering D4vd a suspect in what it says is an apparent homicide.

Robert Morgenroth, the general manager of Mogul Vision, D4vd's record label, is also the president of Zara Brothers Travel -- D4vd's tour company.

We've learned Morgenroth testified all day Monday before the L.A. grand jury. At one point, with a half dozen people in the hallway, Morgenroth came out into the hallway and was talking to his lawyer -- loud enough so others could hear. He said -- referring to Beth Silverman, the deputy D.A. presenting the case before the grand jury -- "She was very pushy on why I didn't call police."

12/9 7:50 AM PT -- "Emily in Paris" star Jeremy O. Harris has been released from custody in Japan after being accused of smuggling the below drugs, TMZ can confirm.

Officials in Japan originally said charges were filed ... but a source close to the actor tells us he was freed without a single charge filed against him. We're also told he will be staying in Japan to work on an upcoming project.

We told you about his arrest last month -- officers found 780 milligrams of Ecstasy, also known as MDMA, in his carry-on tote bag when he was traveling to the southern Japanese island of Okinawa from Taiwan.

Jeremy O. Harris, a Tony-nominated playwright and actor, is reportedly in custody in Japan on suspicion of attempting to smuggle illegal drugs into the country ... because customs officials at an airport say they found Ecstasy in his carry-on.

Jeremy was stopped at Naha Airport on Okinawa island after flying in from Taiwan on November 16 ... and he's been detained ever since ... according to Japanese authorities.

Customs officials say officers found 780 milligrams of MDMA in Jeremy's carry-on tote bag ... and he was arrested on suspicion of violating Japan's Narcotics and Psychotropics Control Act.

"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star Erica Breaux found herself behind bars in Georgia after she was caught with drugs ... in a stolen car!

A rep for Brookhaven PD tells TMZ ... Breaux, also known as rapper Erica Banks, was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over Monday in Brookhaven, GA, after a police officer noticed a tinted tag covering the license plate. In Georgia, it's against the law to have material affixed to a license plate that covers any portion of it.

The officer also noticed the vehicle had dealer plates, which should only be driven by a dealer employee and registered for sale. What's more, the officer ran the plates and learned the vehicle was marked as stolen from Atlanta.

Tekashi 6ix9ine already knows what he'll be up to after he serves his 3-month prison sentence next year ... because a judge also ordered him to 12 months of supervised release with some pretty strict conditions.

According to court papers, obtained by TMZ, the rapper's supervised release will include a mental health treatment program focused on anger management and an outpatient drug treatment program.

Last week, 6ix9ine told us he wasn't worried about doing his prison bid -- set to start January 6 -- because he plans on using the time to get in shape.

'Real Housewives of Orange County' alum Meghan King and her ex-husband Jim Edmonds have side-stepped a potentially nasty custody battle ... the estranged couple has reached an agreement out of court ... TMZ has confirmed.

Jim's rep, Steve Honig tells TMZ ... “The custody hearing has been called off, and both sides have reached an agreement that is in the best interests of the children.”

This comes after Meghan temporarily lost custody of the three children she shares with Jim ... she allegedly gave one of their twin sons unprescribed medication. She allegedly asked a school nurse to administer it.

Wendy Williams should regain control of her own life before the new year ... according to her powerhouse lawyer Joe Tacopina.

Tacopina spoke to "Nightline" about his client's guardianship, saying, "The plan is this ... There are guardianship attorneys ... and we're watching and waiting, and they've assured Wendy by year's end she'll be out of guardianship."

The legendary talk show host has been in a highly restrictive guardianship for more than 3 years, despite the latest neurologist testing saying she doesn't have frontotemporal dementia -- the medical condition is what a judge used to justify the guardianship after Wendy's guardian claimed Wendy was suffering from dementia.

Court is back in session ... and Luigi just pulled the ultimate comeback ... showing up so polished and glowing, you’d never believe this was the same guy who looked rough AF a few days ago.

There was zero hint of Monday blues for Luigi on Day 4 in NYC ... he rolled in looking ridiculously sharp, fully suited and booted, and serving smolder so hard he could've been a male model in a different life.

Whatever bug he had, it’s clearly gone -- Luigi’s back on his feet and looking alarmingly refreshed for a guy fighting both state and federal first-degree murder charges

Diddy is furious at Netflix for dropping the 50 Cent documentary on his legal troubles, but some of the video shot at Diddy's behest almost certainly has his criminal defense lawyer enraged.

There's a video in the doc shot by a guy Diddy hired to chronicle his life ... where he's talking to his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, about his impending arrest. Diddy is enraged at Agnifilo and the entire legal team, barking that they're losing the case.

Diddy has fired off a demand letter to Netflix, claiming the streamer is screwing him over by releasing a video that Diddy -- not the videographer -- owned. But here's the deal. There's a true victim in all of this -- the man who won the criminal case for Diddy -- Marc Agnifilo. We're told he did not know Diddy had someone recording their conversation when they spoke on the phone.

Bryan Kohberger is spending Christmas behind bars -- and the murderous Grinch of 4 college students is getting a much-deserved lump of coal this year instead of the average holiday prison perks, except for some cookies.

Here's the scoop ... Idaho's most infamous mass killer is incarcerated in long-term restrictive housing at Idaho Maximum Security Institution, so he has very little access to any activities, according to Sanda Kuzeta-Cerimagic, a spokeswoman for the Department of Correction.

Kuzeta-Cerimagic said Kohberger and his fellow inmates in the restrictive unit are shuffled around in shackles, making it harder for correction officers to move them about the prison for special Xmas activities.
