"Euphoria" has come to an end ... and the conclusion left fans quite emotional, especially the mother of the late series star Angus Cloud.

We reached out to Lisa Cloud, who tells TMZ... "The massive public emotional outpouring on social media honoring my beloved son’s beautiful soul says everything."

Lisa watched the entire third and final season of the popular HBO series ... and felt the finale was a beautiful depiction of crossing to the other side when Rue had a dreamlike hallucination when she died.

"Euphoria" star Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is defending creator Sam Levinson's controversial ending -- saying Rue's death was ultimately meant as a tribute to the late Angus Cloud.

We caught up with Adewale, who played ruthless drug kingpin Alamo Brown in the final season, and he told us Levinson was using the storyline to shine a light on the harsh realities of addiction.

According to Adewale, Zendaya delivered a powerful performance that reflected what many people and families experience when addiction turns tragic.

Matthew Perry's personal belongings are up for auction ... but his handwritten letter from Jennifer Aniston is no longer for sale.

But Heritage Auctions confirmed to The Independent that the letter had been withdrawn from the sale.

Kylie Jenner is soaking up some sun on vacation -- and, unsurprisingly, she's not exactly packing much fabric.

The beauty mogul turned up the heat in Turks and Caicos, slipping into a pink snakeskin-print bikini that puts her famous curves front and center while she soaked up the sunshine.

Kylie looked right at home on the beach ... coffee in hand, poses flowing, and the camera never too far away as she enjoyed the island escape.

Lindsay Hubbard blew up on West Wilson during the latest part of the "Summer House" Season 10 reunion ... and it's a hard watch.

In the episode, Amanda Batula shuts down and exits the stage in tears after she can't take the heat from her castmates ... and West just sits there. That is, until Lindsay screams at him to "man up" and chase after his girl.

West, however, isn't sold that's the best move ... arguing that they'll all just attack him for leaving, too. But, Kyle Cooke -- Amanda's estranged hubby -- takes a calm approach to the situation, and his advice encourages West to head on out to check in on Amanda.

The cast is obviously unimpressed by Amanda, saying there are loads of unanswered questions and she can't keep shutting down. Lindsay even compares the situation to her past in the hot seat ... it's all in the clip.

Bret Michaels' daughter -- Raine Michaels -- isn't hiding anything from her rockstar dad as she steps into her new reality TV spotlight ... including her potential new side hustle selling feet pics.

We caught up with Raine -- who is starring on the new Netflix reality series "Calabasas Confidential" -- out in Los Angeles and asked about the buzz surrounding the new show ... and she tells us her dad has been loving it.

One storyline that's getting people talking is Raine's interest in Feet Finder, the subscription platform where creators can sell feet content ... while some parents might need a minute to process that, Raine tells us her pop has been fully supportive in the idea.

TV personality Simon Van Kempen was in his 40s when he first appeared on "The Real Housewives of New York" back in 2008, alongside his wife Alex McCord.

Simon was all about the fashion shows, step-and-repeats, and not backing down from the OG housewives, Bethenny Frankel, Ramona Singer, Jill Zarin, and Luann de Lesseps.

Karamo Brown is opening up about his decision to cut ties with the "Queer Eye" franchise ... saying he often felt like an outsider ... and that was before he got backstabbed!!!

The last straw for Karamo ... castmates trashing him behind his back on a hot mic -- which TMZ first reported.

To this day, Karamo still doesn't say what his fellow cast members said about him on set during the reboot's final season ... he didn't want specifics -- because he knew it was so brutal, it devastated his mother, who overheard the trash talk.

TMZ broke the story ... Karamo walked away after the show's 10th and final season -- skipping the final press tour due to his hurt and bitterness over what he called a toxic workplace.

Alexa Demie isn't losing any sleep over not having Sydney Sweeney-level fame ... because she says that's never been the goal.

The "Euphoria" star is pushing back on online chatter comparing her career to some of her castmates' skyrocketing success ... making it known she's perfectly happy with her career and notoriety.

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Alexa addressed comments about her relatively low profile compared to other stars from the HBO hit.

A Pennsylvania mayor isn't buying the fairy-tale ending for a former police officer who traded his badge for a spot on "Love Island USA" ... arguing the move left taxpayers holding the bag.

Bethlehem Mayor J. William Reynolds joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday and weighed in on ex-officer Sean Reifel's career pivot ... he says police departments across the country are already struggling to recruit and retain officers, even without the lure of a gig in reality TV.

Check out the interview ... Reynolds compares the situation to leaving litter behind for someone else to clean up, arguing cities pay a price when they invest in recruits who leave less than a year later.

"Euphoria" was full of surprises this season, but last night's series finale was the biggest shocker of all -- with Zendaya's character dying of a drug overdose!

Sunday's "Euphoria" Season 3 finale saw Zendaya's Rue Bennett ingesting Percocet pills laced with fentanyl, which were purposely left out for her by crime lord Alamo Brown, causing her to overdose.

Alamo wanted Rue dead after finding out she was a snitch, knowing she would pop the pills if he left them out because of her serious drug habit.

“Euphoria" season 3 comes to a close tonight -- and while fans and some of the show’s stars believe this may be the wrap-up of the series, we’re spotlighting the chaos, glam, and drama with its stars, past and present.

Singer Rosalía made her "Euphoria" debut this season, pictured above alongside Zendaya ... And, can't forget Barbie Ferreira -- who starred as Kat Hernandez on seasons 1 and 2.

Check out this throwback of Sydney Sweeney and Alexa Demie posing in their cheerleading 'fits -- playing two of the popular girls at East Highland High School.

Vasana Montgomery -- one of the announced cast members for season 8 of "Love Island USA" -- has already been kicked off the show ... TMZ has learned, after allegedly using a racial slur.

Here's the deal ... videos surfaced online which appear to show the contestant from Beaverton, Oregon using the n-word.

In one clip, Montgomery appears to say it while rapping along to a song ... while, in another, she yells it out while her friend is playing an arcade game.

Mackenzie Shirilla's clearly keeping Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan close to her ... but not always in the most flattering way -- because she appears to be mocking their musicality in a prison phone call.

We've obtained audio from a call between Shirilla and her friends, Rosie Graham and Faith, in which she laments paying for a music streaming service while behind bars.

Mackenzie says the service is terrible ... untalented underground artists who at one point she describes as the "Davions and Doms of the world."
