Chet Hanks is closing the book on his famous parents after opening up about his upbringing with Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson ... he says personal fitness training is his next chapter.

Chet tells TMZ ... he's done answering questions about what Tom and Rita think about him, because he wants to be seen as his own person.

As you know ... Chet recently shared what it was really like for him growing up, explaining how there was a double-edged sword with privileged experiences ... leading to jealousy and envy from others.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Chet has his own success story with fitness, as you can see from the before and after pics. As for how he'd like to help others, it's more sophisticated than just barking exercise orders at a gym. He's creating custom workout plans for his clients, including nutrition. But he's also teaching meditation techniques. And, his work bleeds over into life coaching ... teaching people personal growth on Zoom calls.

Chet says his end game for others isn't just getting jacked  ... it's also about creating a positive state of mind.

The dude sounds serious about personal training  ... Chet says he's already amassed a client base in his program, Hanx Fit, and meets with people on Zoom over the weekends to help them with their workouts and nutrition plans.

No word on if Tom and Rita are getting trained by their kid.

NEED SOME REALLY BIG RINGS

The No. 11 is significant ... it's the day Drake's son, Adonis, was born ... and the jeweler says Drake wanted to incorporate the date in the design.

As you see, there's also owl imagery ... with the bird's wings wrapping around to form the ring. It's par for the course for Drake, who uses the owl because his brand "OVO" resembles an owl face.

We're told the bling cost $77,000 ... it weighs in at 83 grams, with 14 karat gold and 15.7 carats of VVS D-F natural diamonds.

The jeweler toiled over the piece for about 2 months ... and we're told it was a gift to Drake from Kai Bent-Lee, the restaurateur and son of famous Canadian celeb chef Susur Lee.

Sweet gift!!!

Hazel-E Hell Yes, I Went HAM on Winnie Harlow!!! Explains Why On 'It's Tricky with Raquel Harper'

GETTING SETTLED
TMZ.com

Some might say Hazel-E's crossed a line in her viral feud -- but she has no regrets about clapping back at Winnie Harlow the way she has, and insists there's more to come.

Hazel-E went on the "It's Tricky with Raquel Harper" podcast to break down her war of words with the model which went nuclear when the insults got super-personal and lasered in on both women's appearances.

The "Love & Hip Hop" star told Raq that if people are gonna roast her appearance, she feels it's only fitting for her to respond with the same intensity. As Hazel put it ... if she's being pulled apart for the way she looks, "then nothing is off-limits".

The rift with Winnie ratcheted up when LightSkinKeisha posted pictures back in 2019 saying Hazel-E looked like Ernest P. Worrell from the 'Ernest' movies. It was strictly their beef until Winnie commented on one of Keisha's posts with ... "Keisha nooooooo."

Didn't seem like much, but it caught Hazel-E's eye real quick.

That's when she replied to Winnie ... "Look here 101 Dalmatians."

As you probably know Winnie -- a former 'Top Model' star -- has vitiligo, but Hazel-E still piled on with, "In real life if Tyra Banks didn't feel sorry for your malnourished a**, no one would know you! Pipe down salt n pepa."

Harsh, for sure, but check out the clip with Raq ... Hazel feels justified.

STABBED IN PUBLIC
TMZ.com
UPDATE

3:26 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell us the suspect is now in custody.

A customer at a Foot Locker in L.A. was just viciously stabbed ... and it was all over a new shoe release.

Foot Locker did a release of Nike Dunks Wednesday, and there was a line outside the store on Melrose Ave. to get in for the hot new kicks. An eyewitness tells TMZ ... there was some argument between two separate parties in the line for the shoes, which sparked a physical fight, leading to the stabbing.

You see a male in a black T-shirt hop a barricade with a knife and swing on the woman in blue jeans, stabbing her.

It appears from the video we've obtained she was stabbed in the abdomen. We are not showing the actual stabbing but it is brutal. The woman was rushed by ambulance to the hospital. We do not know her condition.

The suspect drove off in a Hyundai and as far as we know he's still on the loose.

This isn't the first stabbing in the area. Last month, UCLA grad student Brianna Kupfer was stabbed to death while working in a nearby furniture store. The alleged assailant, Shawn Laval Smith, a homeless man, was arrested and charged with murder.

EVERY VOICE MATTERS

George Floyd's aunt, Angela Harrelson, knows his murder ignited a worldwide wave of activism, and she wants to make sure it continues ... as the federal trial continues for 3 ex-cops involved in his fatal arrest.

Angela joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live," but on Tuesday she'd been in court to see ex-officer Tou Thao testify. He and fellow ex-cops J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane are accused of violating George's civil rights during the arrest.

She called it a triggering day -- having to see the gut-wrenching video again, as well as listening to Thao's testimony.

Unlike Derek Chauvin, Thao, Lane and Kueng did not have their knees on George's neck ... but Angela told us why she feels they still bear responsibility for his death.

Angela, who was extremely close to George, has also written a memoir, "Lift Your Voice: How My Nephew George Floyd's Murder Changed the World." As she explained, writing it was cathartic -- but it also gave her a chance to be a voice for George.

She says she's urging others to keep using their voices as they did during months of marches for equality and justice after George's murder. Angela's point is ... when you see something that isn’t fair speak up, because every person can make a difference.

Angela's book is available now, and she tells us she'll be back in court Thursday -- with other family members -- fighting for George's legacy.

Linda Evangelista 'I'm Done Hiding!!!' Out in Public After Botched Surgery Claim

Linda Evangelista's through with laying low after she was allegedly left disfigured by a cosmetic procedure -- she's back in the public eye while her lawsuit proceeds.

The OG supermodel was out and about Wednesday in NYC, and although she was wearing a face mask and a puffy winter coat ... it was a big step for her, following her horrifying claims a fat-freezing procedure has "permanently deformed" her.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

As we reported, Linda filed a lawsuit last September, alleging CoolSculpting "brutally disfigured" her in several places. She says she noticed bulges growing in the very areas she'd wanted to shrink when she decided to have the procedure.

She's intentionally avoided the spotlight since then, but now she tells People, "I'm not going to hide anymore. I hope I can shed myself of some of the shame and help other people who are in the same situation as me ... That's my goal."

Linda says a doctor diagnosed her with Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia -- a rare side effect of the procedure, which many have called an alternative to liposuction.

She's seeking no less than $50 million from the company she says created the CoolSculpting system.

Aaron Rodgers, Shailene Woodley We're Dunzo!!! ... After Less Than 2 Years

It's over between Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley -- the power couple has called off their engagement after less than 2 years together.

The 38-year-old NFL MVP and actress, 30, have reportedly ended things for good ... months after they were rumored to have split

The couple started seeing each other shortly after the quarterback's split from racing superstar Danica Patrick in July 2020 ... and their engagement was announced in Feb. 2021.

Rodgers credited the personal update with being one of the biggest highlights of his year.

Rodgers and Woodley were inseparable for months ... packing on PDA during trips to Disneyland and Mexico.

Things got so serious between the two, Rodgers said in an interview in March 2021 he was looking forward to parenthood with Woodley.

"I just think it'd be so fun," Rodgers said at the time. "I've dreamt about what that would be like and I'm really excited about that chapter whenever that comes."

Word is Rodgers was getting "cold feet" and prioritized his football career ... with the report adding Woodley felt "neglected" during the relationship.

Bob Saget Authorities Believe He Hit Headboard Cops Certain No Foul Play

UPDATE

9:18 AM PT -- A judge has granted Bob's family the temporary restraining order it requested to block the release of photos from the scene in his hotel room.

Bob Saget's death is creating a mystery for many experts, who wonder how he suffered such a severe skull fracture ... and what exactly he hit -- but authorities are firm on what didn't happen, and they think the injury was caused by something connected to the bed.

As we've reported, Bob died from a brain bleed after hitting his head on something. Sources with direct knowledge of the investigation tell us the Medical Examiner and police are clear there was no foul play, and they're certain the blow to his head had to happen in the hotel.

We're told the injury to his head was severe enough that they're sure he could not have made the 2-hour drive from Jacksonville to the Ritz-Carlton in Orlando.

But, here's the mystery ... some medical experts say the skull fracture is consistent with being hit by a bat, or falling as far as 30 feet. Obviously, that kind of fall didn't happen, but as for Bob being struck -- we're told the electronic front door lock to his hotel room shows no one else entered the room. Once Bob entered, the next time the door opened was when hotel staff found him in the afternoon.

Our sources say the authorities say it's most likely Bob struck a portion of the bed's headboard that is not padded. We're told it's wood, and the best guess is he hit his head. Since he was under the covers, they believe he quickly lost consciousness. What's interesting ... although authorities on the scene felt the headboard scenario was the most likely, the Medical Examiner never mentioned it.

Rather, the M.E. theorizes it was an "unwitnessed fall backwards."

We're told the authorities who discovered Bob's body did not see a bruise on his head. We're told the bruise was only discovered during the autopsy.

Saget's family has filed a lawsuit in Orange County, Florida to block the release of photos from the hotel room -- because under Florida law police could go public with the images.

Shark Attack Beachgoers Witness 15-ft Shark Kill Swimmer

HORRIFYING ATTACK

A beach in Sydney has been temporarily closed after some folks witnessed a gruesome killing -- a 15-ft shark devouring a swimmer.

A Rep for New South Wales Police Force tells TMZ ...  cops were called about the terrifying shark attack around 4:35 PM on Wednesday.

We're told folks were fishing off the nearby shoreline, and they heard the swimmer scream in terror and saw the entire attack unfold.

As you can see in the video, a shark was still lurking around and the guy recording yelled out, "Someone just got eaten by a shark. Oh man! Oh no! That's insane." He believes it was a great white.

Police say when they arrived, they could still see human remains in the water.

As of now, they don't know details about the deceased swimmer, but police said they are investigating and might know more info later today.

For now, Little Bay Beach has been closed and cops continue to search the area.

Hollywood Sign Finally Turns Into 'Rams House' ... Still Looks Bad

UPDATE

10:59 AM PT -- 2/16 -- FINALLY -- just in time for the Rams' victory parade, the iconic Hollywood sign now reads "RAMS HOUSE" ... but honestly, it was probably better off.

UPDATE

There's really no way around it -- the finished product doesn't look great, but shoutout to the workers assigned to this project, 'cause it ain't their fault.

UPDATE

A+ idea ... F for execution.

People are trying to turn the Hollywood sign into an homage to the Rams to celebrate their Super Bowl win -- but at this rate ... it might just stay a jumbled mess come showtime.

If you look over yonder toward Griffith Park, you'll undoubtedly see what's going on there in the hills -- something looks off about the lettering on our famed sign, and that's because volunteers are out there scrambling to make it read "RAMS HOUSE" ... and in a hurry.

As you see, they're not even nearing completion ... and it's less than 24 hours before the Super Bowl parade is due to hit the streets with the team in tow. At the moment, it looks more like RALLYOUSE -- which is close, but no cigar ... and the clock is ticking.

On top of the unfinished business, there are folks in the area who are complaining about the eyesore before them ... not to mention all the racket from the bodies on the ground, which all started Monday AM.

Of course, there's also a lot of ridicule to go around here ... as many are joking that the pranksters who once turned HOLLYWOOD into HOLLYWEED did a far better job than the L.A. bureaucrats are doing now ... and way faster too, no less!

Indeed, this work is sanctioned by the City of L.A., in partnership with the Rams and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. But, considering how choppy things are moving, they might wanna bust out the spray paint and go full vandalism to meet their deadline. 😅

Henry Ruggs Car Crash Tina Tintor & Dog Honored W/ Mural ... Near Wreck Site

Tina Tintor and her dog have been memorialized with a mural in Las Vegas ... three months after they tragically died there in a car crash involving former NFL star Henry Ruggs.

The art was just painted on a wall near the wreck site -- showing a depiction of Tina and her Golden Retriever, Max, smiling in front of a blue background.

The artist painted both of their names in pink lettering above their pictures ... and added, "In loving memory."

In front of the art -- which sits on the corner of the intersection near where the two were hit by Ruggs' Corvette on Nov. 2 -- family, friends and supporters have continued to leave photographs, candles and flowers.

Tintor's uncle told KLAS in Vegas that he organized the painting of the mural following Tina's death.

As we previously reported, investigators say Tintor burned to death after officials say Ruggs was speeding with a .161 BAC before he rammed his sportscar into the back of her RAV4.

She was just 23 years old.

Ruggs has been hit with five charges for his alleged role in the crash ... and he could face decades behind bars if he's convicted on all counts.

'AGT' Ex-Finalist Glennis Grace Arrested in Netherlands for Assault

Glennis Grace -- a one-time finalist on "America’s Got Talent" -- was arrested for assault in her home country of the Netherlands ... and we're told her son could be at the center of it all.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Glennis, her 15-year-old son and another man in their party were arrested and booked on suspicion of assault this weekend after some sort of altercation in a supermarket.

While it’s not exactly clear yet what happened, we're told ... Glennis’ kid had some kind of interaction with staff, left, and returned later the same day with his mom and the other guy. Cops say that's when a violent confrontation broke out.

When the dust settled, we’re told several people were injured. Law enforcement sources tell us ... once cops complete their investigation, they’ll pass their findings on to prosecutors to determine if anyone gets charged.

In the meantime, Glennis and co. have been released from custody.

Glennis’ attorney says, "The police investigation is still ongoing and we trust that it will show that Glennis has not committed any criminal offenses. We are now waiting for the investigation to be finished before making further announcements."

Glennis made it to the final round of ‘AGT’s’ 13th season in 2018, and even repped her home country in the 'Eurovision' song competition once upon a time.
