Mary Cosby wasn't shooting "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" when she found out her son, Robert Jr., had passed away ... but that doesn't mean it won't be mentioned.

Sources connected to the show tell TMZ ... "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" Season 7 is in pre-preproduction and wasn't shooting at the time of Robert's death.

Shooting was supposed to start this week ... but has been postponed due to the tragedy.

Don't go looking in your local haystack for a needle ... just head on down to the "Fear Factor: House Of Fear" set and take them right out of a contestant's skin!

A new episode of the hit "Fear Factor" reboot is airing tonight ... and it features Johnny Knoxville's "Pain Auction" -- a challenge in which contestants undergo painful ordeals in hopes of staying in the game to win $200K.

'Golden Bachelor' star Mel Owens paid off the nearly $1 million he owed his ex-wife, Fabiana Owens, under their divorce settlement ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, it looks like the reality star has officially resolved the 7-figure debt he owed Fabiana in their December 2024 divorce settlement.

The divorce turned ugly in late 2025, when Fabiana told the court Mel had yet to pay the money owed to her, despite him being on "The Golden Bachelor." She asked for Mel’s 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2,768-square-foot home to be sold off to come up with the cash if he didn’t cough up the dough.

Eric Dane's ex-girlfriend Priya Jain has donated $10,000 to his GoFundMe following his death last week.

Priya and Eric dated for about a year after first being linked in November 2024 ... and her quiet donation comes as Hollywood pals and fans alike continue to dump money into the fundraising page, which is meant to support his two teenage daughters after he lost his life to ALS.

We've had an eye on the GoFundMe ... and it is nearing a half a mill in donations ... including from major Hollywood names such as Hailey Bieber and "Euphoria" creator Sam Levinson -- who dropped $20K each. Other sizeable contributions have come from Gwyneth Paltrow's husband, Brad Falchuk, and Lala Kent's ex, producer Randall Emmett, who threw in $10K each. Madonna's longtime manager Guy Oseary and Disney President Dana Walden also gave $5K each.

As we told you, 53-year-old Eric died last Thursday after being diagnosed with ALS in spring 2025. He is survived by his once-estranged wife Rebecca Gayheart and his two daughters, Billie and Georgia.

The FCC received a ton of complaints after Jimmy Kimmel made a controversial comment regarding Charlie Kirk ... but a vast majority of them weren't knocking Jimmy.

We've received the complaints sent to the federal agency back in September 2025 through a Freedom of Information Act request to see how many people bashed Kimmel to the government ... and we actually found that a lot more were fans of the star writing in -- alleging censorship by the feds.

Many people argued the government was infringing on the First Amendment by forcing Kimmel off the air ... and they called out FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr for his comments about the talk show host.

John Davidson's Tourette's tic -- which resulted in the disability activist screaming out a racial slur during an awards broadcast -- isn't necessarily about his true feelings coming out ... so says a reality star with firsthand knowledge of the disorder.

Baylen Dupree -- star of the hit show "Baylen Out Loud" -- released a statement Tuesday about Sunday's incident ... saying she felt she needed to say something as a person who deals with tics as well.

Baylen writes these verbal tics are not thoughts, opinions, or beliefs hidden deep beneath the surface -- they are involuntary impulses -- no different than a hiccup or a sneeze.

“Love Is Blind” star Amber Morrison has been getting dragged by the age police ... but TMZ’s got the documentation to shut that down.

We’ve obtained a copy of her driver’s license showing her DOB as April 2, 1991, confirming she’s 34 ... not older, despite internet trolls loudly insisting otherwise.

It’s honestly a rough situation. Sources close to Amber tell us she’s a full-time working mom who doesn’t have hours to obsess over her appearance ... which has been at the center of cruel online digs.

The BBC is under fire for failing to edit out the N-word from its broadcast of the BAFTAs ... though the organization has reportedly told employees it did catch another slur.

Here's the deal ... Kate Phillips -- the Chief Content Officer for the British Broadcasting Company -- sent an email to staff members apologizing that the racial slur involuntarily thrown at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo by Tourette's activist John Davidson wasn't edited out of the broadcast.

However, Phillips also seemingly praised editors in the staff email because they "removed another racial slur from the broadcast.”

In the case of Bonnie Blue's pregnancy ... Maury Povich is NOT the father -- nor the right person to host a special to find the guy!

The longtime TV host helped clear up paternity confusion for a number of years on his show "Maury" ... so, when social media users learned Bonnie was pregnant after banging 400 dudes, some started tagging him on social media.

While Maury might've been expected to jump at the chance to get involved, it seems the star's loving retirement ... with the official account for the now-ended "Maury" show replying on X, "Stop tagging me."

Hilary Duff is mourning the loss of her TV dad following the tragic death of Robert Carradine.

Lisa Rinna thinks she was drugged with something at "The Traitors" Season 4 premiere party on January 8, TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us ... Lisa's 'Traitors' co-star Colton Underwood noticed Lisa was completely inebriated. Because Colton says he knew Lisa didn't have that much to drink -- he was with her the whole night -- so he became concerned, according to our sources.
