According to the legal docs, filed last week in Los Angeles by Angelica Vasquez and obtained by TMZ, Angelica claims she started working for Kylie as a housekeeper at her Beverly Hills residence on September 10, 2024, and then was moved to her Hidden Hills residence one week later, where she says she reported to a woman named Elsi and head housekeeper Patsy.

D4vd has just pled not guilty to murder and other charges in connection with the death of Celeste Rivas ... and he is challenging the D.A. to put their cards on the table, or fold.

D4vd went before a judge just hours after being charged with first-degree murder with special circumstances, including lying in wait, committing the crime for financial gain, and murdering a witness to an investigation.

Prosecutors also charged D4vd with lewd and lascivious sexual acts with a person under 14 years old and the mutilation of a human body.

D4vd's lawyers asked the judge for a preliminary hearing within 10 days ... that's something to which a defendant is entitled. There's a clear strategic reason for the move -- given that D4vd was arrested just a few days ago, the defense seems to be banking on the case still being a work in progress.

3:40 PM PT -- An expected news conference has been called off ... Celeste Rivas' family will not be speaking publicly from the courthouse this afternoon, according to a spokesperson for the D.A. at the scene.

Celeste Rivas' family was expected to speak out publicly after D4vd was charged in her violent death ... a news conference was set up, but the family later declined to appear for cameras.

The family was set to make a brief statement through their attorney ... but they did not intend to take questions.

Angelina Jolie doesn't seem to be fazed by her ex-husband Brad Pitt’s complaints in court about not being able to enjoy his $164 million French estate ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Angelina and Brad lay out their positions on when the trial should actually go down, with Angelina claiming there is no reason to move forward with Brad’s desire to have the trial in August 2027.

The legal battle started in 2022 when Brad sued Angelina, claiming she sold her stake in their Chateau Miraval to a third party without his approval. He said the new owner was hostile and causing issues with the wine business, which he spent years building. Angelina said she needed to move forward with the transaction and didn't need Brad's approval to sell her interest.

Megan Thee Stallion scored a major courtroom win … but when she tried to take it a step further and lock down her online critic for good, the judge slammed the brakes.

TMZ has obtained new court docs showing a federal judge denied Megan’s request for a permanent injunction against blogger Milagro Cooper for cyberstalking … even after a jury found Cooper liable for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and promoting a deepfake video of the rapper.

Meg was awarded $75K in total damages by the jury -- including including amounts for inflicting emotional distress and engaging with a deepfake porn of Meg.

But here’s the key … the judge says those findings don’t automatically mean Meg can get an cyberstalking injunction to block Cooper going forward, even though Meg claimed the harassment continued after the verdict.

D4vd's family is standing firmly behind him after prosecutors hit the singer with murder charges in the high-profile Celeste Rivas Hernandez case.

Kent Schaffer, an attorney for the singer's family, tells TMZ ... "We are disappointed but not surprised that the District Attorney made this decision. David's family stands behind him 100%."

As we reported ... the Los Angeles County District Attorney officially charged D4vd with first-degree murder Monday in connection with the death of 14 year old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

Christian Dumontet tried to fast-track control of a multimillion-dollar L.A. property in his divorce from "Selling Sunset" star Christine Quinn ... telling the judge it's his property, he's been spending a bunch of money on it while it remains empty -- and he's looking to sell it as soon as possible.

Christian filed an emergency request -- according to court records obtained by TMZ -- asking for exclusive control of the couple’s Queens Court property so he could sell it quickly … but the court said there was no “imminent harm” to justify emergency action.

Christian’s argument is the mansion is his ... period.

Singer D4vd has been officially charged with the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas ... in addition to first degree murder with special circumstances -- which makes him eligible for the death penalty.

He's also been charged with lewd and lascivious acts with a child under 14 and mutilating a body.

The D.A. says the last time Celeste was seen was at D4vd's house ... never to be seen again. Her mutilated body was discovered in 2 bags in D4vd's Tesla.

Nathan Hochman says D4vd was lying in wait on April 23, 2025 ... and it appears that's when the D.A. says he killed her. He says another special circumstance was murder for financial gain. The financial gain was that Celeste was a "witness" to something -- presumably their sexual relationship -- and he would lose his career if she talked. The D.A. suggested Celeste threatened to go to police or go public regarding their sexual relationship, so he invited her over to kill her ... thus, the lying in wait.

LAPD Police Chief Jim McDonnell says there is evidence D4vd and Celeste had a sexual relationship.

Here's the booking photo D4vd snapped after being taken to jail following his arrest in the Celeste Rivas murder case.

The mug shot was shown to the media Monday before prosecutors and cops held a press conference to talk about the case.

D4vd was arrested Thursday afternoon ... over 7 months after Celeste's decomposing body was found in the trunk of his Tesla.

As the world knows, Katy is under police investigation following Ruby's stunning claims the singer sexually assaulted her at a nightclub in Melbourne in 2010.

Jacqueline Harris, a rep for the Office of Public Prosecution in Victoria, Australia, tells us ... "There is no statute of limitations on prosecuting indictable (serious) crimes in Victoria."
Harris went on ... "The law at the time the alleged offence was committed applies to criminal proceedings and sentencing for historical offences."

Justin Baldoni is calling out Blake Lively's recent request to block talk about her net worth from their upcoming trial ... telling the New York judge all that is super important -- especially 'cause Blake brought her money into the drama in the first place!

In legal docs filed by the actor and director Friday, and obtained by TMZ ... he argues talking about all the dough Blake is rolling in is relevant because she alleged she's lost millions of bucks due to the alleged smear campaign she claims Justin leveraged against her. She claims she lost $161 million as a result of Justin dragging her name through the mud.

Justin doesn't just want Blake's financial status and income streams brought up in the trial -- he says it's important her hubby Ryan Reynolds' is discussed, too, because she "typically does not accept acting opportunities which conflict with Reynolds’ acting schedule – particularly when he is able to garner a higher income for his movies than she can."
