Maitland Ward is ripping "Euphoria" for having Sydney Sweeney portray an OnlyFans creator doing role-play as a baby for money ... she says that's exactly the kind of situation OF models try to avoid.

The former "Boy Meets World" star joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and blasted the HBO series for its depiction of adult content creators.

Maitland says OF has rules in place to keep pedophiles away from the platform ... and she says Sydney dressing up like a baby is disgusting and perpetuates harmful stereotypes about OF and the porn industry at large.

"Love on the Spectrum" star Pari Kim is dealing with unimaginable heartbreak ... revealing her mother, Esme, has died after a reported battle with stage 4 breast cancer.

The 24-year-old reality star shared the devastating news in an emotional Instagram post Wednesday night ... opening up about the crushing grief of losing both parents at such a young age. Pari wrote, "It feels like everything is becoming a train wreck" as she described the internal battle between mourning and trying to stay positive enough to move forward.

Trains have long been a huge part of Pari's life -- she is known for her deep love of railroads and public transit. Keeping with her metaphors, Pari added ... "It’s difficult to keep chugging along when your guardian locomotive reaches the end of the line but you have to keep going somehow even without her."

Matthew Perry's former assistant is the last one up to be sentenced over the actor's death … and prosecutors are looking to lock him up for years behind bars over his involvement ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ has obtained the government's sentencing memo for the late "Friends" star's live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa … and prosecutors are recommending a 41-month prison sentence -- nearly 3 and a half years -- plus 3 years of supervised release.

They say Kenneth was "acutely aware" that MP struggled with drug addiction ... and allege he helped him obtain drugs, shot him up, and later destroyed evidence following the actor's death.

Ray J's hurling some wild accusations Kris Jenner's way, saying he "wouldn't put it past" her to order a hit on him ... but sources tell TMZ this is a flat-out lie.

On Wednesday's episode of "The Jason Lee Show," Ray J said he's "on alert" that the momager "might try to do something" to him as his countersuit against her and Kim Kardashian heads to arbitration.

Watch the clip ... Jason followed up by asking if Ray J thinks Kris would "drop a bag to have a hit done" .... and the singer said he's not ruling it out. But sources tell TMZ that Ray J's spreading false news, and Kris has zero interest in engaging.

Chris Appleton's officially taking his talents from the glam chair to the lifeguard tower ... 'cause TMZ has learned he's landed a role in the upcoming "Baywatch" reboot.

TMZ obtained photos of the celebrity hairstylist on set Tuesday in Los Angeles and he was hard to miss. Chris was shirtless for multiple takes, showing off his tan and chiseled physique in low-rise jeans and white sneakers while clutching scripts between scenes.

At one point, he was seen huddled with a crew member going over lines, and in another moment, he casually tossed on a jacket between takes while production staff and cameras surrounded him on location.

PK Kemsley's got enough drama with his divorce ... but now he's adding smashing into his neighbors' car to the mix!

Check out this video from Tuesday in Los Angeles -- PK backed his $120K Range Rover out on the street, straight into a Toyota RAV4 owned by his neighbor’s caregiver ... then casually drove off like nothing happened.

The extent of the damage on the RAV4 is unclear, but PK's own ride was left with a pretty noticeable dent. Didn't seem to faze him though ... he was spotted strolling back into his Encino building completely unbothered.

PK tells TMZ ... "I genuinely thought the new Range Rover had automatically braked for me. It wasn't until I got home and noticed the world's tiniest mark on my car that I realized I'd very gently nudged the neighbor's bumper. I went over, apologized, and offered to pay. Entirely my fault. Although in fairness, trying to reverse while subconsciously searching for paparazzi hiding in bushes is probably not recommended by Land Rover."

Brandi Glanville's not pulling her punches ... taking shots at her ex Eddie Cibrian and his new wife LeAnn Rimes -- while also saying she'd go toe to toe with Denise Richards.

We caught up with the reality star and her podcast partner James Maas in Los Angeles Tuesday ... and we asked her about the persistent rumors the pair are joining "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

Glanville has already sounded off about Rimes joining the show -- sarcastically commenting she "got everything else of [Glanville's]" so of course she'd take this too -- and she's not any more supportive here ... saying her kids think LeAnn and Eddie are super boring and audiences will feel the same.

Ariana Madix is all for the comparisons between her and Ciara Miller after the "Summer House" star was publicly betrayed by West Wilson and Amanda Batula this year.

The "Vanderpump Rules" alum addressed the comparisons on her Tuesday night "Watch What Happens Live" appearance and confirmed to host Andy Cohen that there are 100% similarities between Scandoval and West and Amanda's situation. She's not saying they're the exact same ... but they're similar enough to warrant the comparison.

Remember -- Ariana was heartbroken publicly when she discovered her longtime beau Tom Sandoval was secretly hooking up with their "Vanderpump Rules" costar Raquel Leviss ... a major situation labeled as "Scandoval."

Ciara Miller is turning heartbreak into a serious glow-up -- fans (and brands) can’t get enough of this Bravo babe, so we’re highlighting her with a brand-new gallery of her hottest shots!

The "Summer House" star made headlines back in March when she and her reality TV co-stars, West Wilson and Amanda Batula, sparked drama that quickly spilled off-screen and into the public eye.

Miller seems to be following in the footsteps of fellow Bravo-lebrity Ariana Madix ... securing brand deals ... and a co-hosting gig on "Love Island USA: Aftersun."

Clearly she's got the skills to grab hold of a mic -- and a rockin' hot bod that steals the spotlight!!

Jimmy Kimmel let the jokes fly at Disney's upfront event on Tuesday ... telling the advertisers he was just as surprised to see them as they were him, given all the recent drama with President Trump and the White House.

According to multiple people at the event ... Kimmel also quipped that the only way to get tossed off the air at ABC was to throw a chair at your Mormon boyfriend -- an obvious shot at Taylor Frankie Paul's drama that led to her season of "The Bachelorette" being pulled.

As we reported ... Trump and the First Lady once again pushed for ABC to pull Kimmel from the air for a joke he made about Melania being a widow ... a joke he made days before a suspect opened fire at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Kimmel clarified his joke was about the couple's age difference.

Jason Oppenheim says he's more excited about the upcoming "Selling Sunset" season than ever before ... because a couple OGs are back in the fold.

We got the "Selling Sunset" boss in West Hollywood and our photog asked him about Christine Quinn and Heather Rae El Moussa returning for Season 10.

Christine left the franchise in 2022 after Season 5 ... and Jason says she was one of the reasons why the show blew up.

Lisa Vanderpump fans can relax … the original "Vanderpump Rules" has NOT been canceled or killed off despite Bravo announcing Lisa's flashy new Vegas-based spinoff … TMZ has learned. 

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … the long-running reality hit is still active, but Season 13 can't really move forward yet because Lisa's tied up filming multiple projects outside Los Angeles.

We're told Lisa is currently spending all of her time in Vegas until she opens The Vanderpump Hotel ... making the timing right for a Sin City-based series centered around her new hotspot.

"Summer House" star Ciara Miller could be back for the next season of the headline-making Bravo show ... despite recently landing a role as host for the "Love Island USA" post-show "Aftersun," TMZ has learned.

After news broke she'd be heading to Fiji for the dating show franchise, fans started wondering if Ciara's packed schedule could create a conflict -- however, we're told there's no overlap in her upcoming summer plans.

Sources close to the series tell TMZ … "Summer House" goes into production in July -- specifically on July 4th weekend -- so Ciara will be back from filming in Fiji, alongside cohost Tefi Pessoa, in time to hop on the Jitney to the Hamptons.

Savannah Guthrie's turning her Wordle addiction into a full-on TV gig ... because the "TODAY" co-anchor is officially set to host a new "Wordle" game show executive produced by Jimmy Fallon.

The big reveal went down Monday on "Today" when Fallon popped up to announce the long-secret project ... saying he and The New York Times have been developing the hit puzzle game for TV for more than two years.

Fallon said finding the right host was easy ... joking they needed someone who "looks like they play Wordle" and knows how to run a show ... before crowning Savannah the perfect fit after filming the pilot.
