The Celtics and Warriors are currently duking it out in an intense series ... but let's take a second to show love for the wives and girlfriends of the NBA Finals!!

By now, we're sure you know Steph Curry's wife, Ayesha, who's been one of his biggest backers throughout his career ... especially on social media.

Steph is already a 3-time NBA champ ... but his wife will certainly be cheering for him as he tries to capture his first Finals MVP.

Draymond Green's wife, Hazel, has also been outspoken this series ... she came to her man's defense after Celtics fans chanted "F*** You Draymond."

Draymond has admittedly played like "s***" at points this series ... but his wife has been there for her man through it all.

Damion Lee's wifey is Sydel Curry-Lee, a 27-year-old volleyball player ... who also happens to be the sister of his teammate, Steph.

YNW Melly appears to have been the triggerman in the murders of his two friends ... at least according to a police detective who is set to testify at Melly's upcoming trial.

According to new legal docs, police detective Christopher Williams will be called by prosecutors as an expert witness, where he will tell the jury it was "more likely" Melly fired the fatal shots inside a car.

The detective, who says he has extensive training and expertise in reconstructing shootings, says his analysis shows it's a better bet Melly -- not co-defendant Cortlen Henry -- fired the fatal shots ... though he's not saying it with absolute certainty.

Remember ... when Melly and Henry were arrested and charged in the double murder of their friends, cops said their initial investigation determined Melly shot the men, and that he and Henry then staged the crime scene to look like a drive-by shooting.

Detective Williams says he reconstructed the shooting by looking at blood splatter and the angles of the bullet holes and gunshot wounds ... and it appears the shooter was seated in the backseat, behind the driver, and shot the victim from inside the car.

He also says the evidence shows the gun was fired no more than 8 inches from the victim's face.

The "Shahs of Sunset" gang doesn't look like they're ready for reality TV retirement just yet -- their famous show is donezo, but some of the OG cast are busy filming a new venture.

Reza Farahan, Mercedes "MJ" Javid and Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi were working with a production crew Friday afternoon in the West Hollywood area.

We're told GG recently started a food truck biz and Reza and MJ were on hand to support her new culinary adventure -- called Bottom of the Pan -- and, of course, they had a camera crew in tow.

The TMZ Celebrity Tour bus was rolling by, spotted the food truck ... and Reza brought over plates of free food!!! Super cool.

We broke the story ... Bravo gave "Shahs of Sunset" the ax back in April after 9 seasons on the air, but sources told us Reza, MJ and GG were all in early talks for potential future projects with the network.

Unclear if this shoot is for one of those projects ... but, interestingly, one person who was not involved in whatever they're filming was Mike Shouhed.

Call a timeout and take in yet another amazing shot of Golden State Warriors player Steph Curry. Do you have the handles to dribble down the court and figure out the differences between these two snapshots?

Staying true to his scoring skills, the pro-baller racked in 31 of the 100 points for his team. The point guard was driving to the basket during the 2022 NBA Finals at TD Garden against the Boston Celtics. The Warriors took an L during Game 3 of the series, but Chef Curry is always keepin' the court hot!

"Anchorman" star David Koechner has been busted again for drinking and driving -- this time while away from home on tour.

According to online records, Koechner was nabbed in Southern Ohio just before 2 AM on June 4 for operating a vehicle under the influence. A law enforcement source tells us a State Trooper noticed Koechner swerve, pulled him over, and allegedly smelled alcohol on his breath.

Koechner received a ticket for the offense, and is scheduled to appear in court next month.

As for why he was in Ohio -- Koechner's on tour -- and hosted "The Office" trivia night later that day in Ironton. Koechner played the character Todd Packer on the show.

It's not the first time this year he's been busted for drinking and driving. The actor and comedian was charged with DUI and hit and run following a New Year's Eve arrest in Los Angeles. During that incident, cops say, he blew two tires before stopping and blew a .13 BAC in the field and a .12 once back at the station.

Todd Chrisley is doing home confinement in style, hanging out in his huge mansion with a sweet delivery while he awaits sentencing in his bank fraud and tax evasion case.

The reality TV star emerged from his not-so-humble abode Friday for the first time since he was put on house arrest following his guilty verdict.

What got Todd out of the main house, down the front steps and onto the driveway ... a bakery delivery from his daughter, Savannah. The treats look homemade, and are probably better than anything he might eventually get in federal prison.

As you know, Todd and wife Julie were found guilty Tuesday of a laundry list of charges, most notably bank fraud and tax evasion ... and now they're facing up to 30 years in federal prison, though the family lawyer says they plan to appeal the verdict.

Justin Bieber has been battling a serious virus, one that has left the right side of his face paralyzed ... and he'll need to take some time off to work on getting better.

The singer posted a video Friday explaining to fans why he's had to postpone several shows over the last week, explaining he's been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. Bieber says it's affected a nerve in his ear, causing the paralysis.

As visible in the video, Justin is unable to blink with one of his eyes, and can only smile with one side of his mouth.

While JB apologizes to fans for having to have missed the recent shows, he says the whole thing is "pretty serious" and that he'll need to take an undetermined amount of time off to work on getting healthy.

He says he's been doing facial exercises, and that with work, everything will get back to normal -- it's just not clear how long that'll take.

It's officially official, Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich are no longer married ... their divorce has been finalized.

A judgment was entered in the case Friday, meaning the two are donezo, we don't yet have specifics on their agreement ... but that'll come soon.

Julianne filed for divorce from the former NHLer back in November 2020, about 6 months after the couple had split and after lots of speculation there were issues in the couple's marriage. The two married in 2017, but did not have any kids together.

You might remember, when things were allegedly sour between the two, Brooks had posted he wanted to be "open to all things and present in my relationships." Julianne had revealed she was "not straight" but still wanted to be with Brooks.

Britney Spears' ex-husband Jason Alexander has made continuous attempts to connect with the singer in person, and showed up armed with a knife to her wedding ... according to cops.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Office has filed an emergency protective order against Jason Alexander after the man showed up uninvited to Britney's home Thursday. The doc reads, in part, "(He) has continually trespassed on her property. Alexander advised multiple times no welcomed."

Cops say Alexander was armed with a knife when he crashed the wedding and made his way inside Britney's L.A. home.

The order states Jason must stay at least 100 yards away from both Sam and Britney as well as her home.

Britney's attorney, Mathew Rosengart, tells TMZ, "I want to thank Sergeant Cyrus Zadeh, Detective Ken Michaelson, and the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office for their prompt and good work and look forward to working with law enforcement to ensure Alexander is aggressively prosecuted and hopefully convicted. This was an outrageous security breach, which I am livid about, but fortunately, Britney is safe and she was a beautiful and happy bride."

TikTok star Cooper Noriega has died at the age of 19 ... just hours after a very eerie social media post about dying at a young age.

Law enforcement sources tell us a passerby called 911 Thursday after discovering Cooper unconscious in a mall parking lot outside Los Angeles. We're told paramedics arrived on scene shortly thereafter, but were unable to revive the young social media star.

Our sources say Cooper was not in a vehicle, and there were no signs of trauma on his body. At this time, we're told there's no foul play suspected and an autopsy will be performed.

Just hours before Cooper died, he posted an image of himself in bed on TikTok with the caption, "who else b thinking they gon d!€ young af."

Ezra Miller is NOT controlling 18-year-old Tokata Iron Eyes, at least according to Tokata ... who says she's sick of folks painting her as a victim, and not believing her side.

Tokata let out her frustrations in a video where she slams her parents and the media ... saying she's downright disappointed they're not taking her word that she's making her own decisions.

She says she doesn't have a phone by choice, and calls it "distressing that the narrative of the 'victim' in question is not being granted in trust".

Tokata adds "it's nobody's business, and no one is owed a story".

The tone of the video is interesting ... Tokata speaks at a very slow, deliberate pace, and some folks in the comments didn't seem to buy what she was saying.

TMZ broke the story ... her parents filed legal docs seeking a protective order for Tokata, claiming "Ezra uses violence, intimidation, threat of violence, fear, paranoia, delusions, and drugs" to control Tokata.

They're hoping a judge will see it their way, and force Ezra to stay away from their daughter.

Of course, we know Ezra has been arrested multiple times, including an incident with bar patrons in Hawaii. Tokata and Ezra have been spotted dancing at a club in Hawaii.

Britney Spears' wish has come true, she's a married woman, once again -- and despite the wild efforts of one ex-husband -- her wedding to Sam Asghari went off without a hitch.

The bride wore a white Versace gown (as expected) with a long flowing veil, her groom was dashing in a black Versace tuxedo ... as they said their "I Dos" in a short and sweet ceremony in front of about 100 celeb guests and a few family members.

Brit and Sam did it right ... the ceremony -- held under a lavish tent on the property of their Thousand Oaks home -- was a perfect 10 minutes long. The same guy who officiated Paris Hilton's wedding a few months ago -- Rev. Clint Hufft -- did the honors Thursday night.

And, then it was time to party with folks like Madonna, Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore, Donatella Versace, will.i.am and, of course, Paris ... who played a key role during the festivities. She actually got on the mic, and got Britney to join her as they sang Paris' banger, "Stars Are Blind."

Also in attendance ... Britney's attorney, Mathew Rosengart, who helped free her from her conservatorship.

As for traditions ... the bride and groom opted to pass on most of that stuff. As you know, Britney's mother, sister and father were not there. Nobody gave her away, and they didn't do a first dance.

If you're looking for traditions ... well, Britney and Madonna shared a kiss -- taking everyone back to their iconic VMAs moment. Selena joined them at one point, dancing to "Toxic."

Brit did make several dress changes -- rocking red and black minidresses and a two-tone dress later in the evening, and she wore jewelry designed by Stephanie Gottlieb, including a $100K 27-carat heart-shaped diamond tennis necklace.

One odd family moment ... as we'd told you, Britney's brother, Bryan, was supposed to attend -- he and a date we're all dressed up shortly before the wedding -- but he ended up no-showing for the big night.

We're guessing Britney was unfazed, because the party proceeded.

She and Sam left the ceremony at 10:15 PM in the white Rolls-Royce with red interior that they've been rolling around in most of this week -- and, yes, they did the "Just Married" sign too.

The blushing bride kept her face hidden from photogs as they drove off, but Sam looked pretty damn proud in a black tee with "Britney & Sam" lettering.

The lovebirds met back in 2016 when Sam was booked for Britney's "Slumber Party" music video, and they've since been going strong ... with Sam popping the question in September.

Cut to 9 months later, and they pulled off a successful and spectacular evening ... especially when you consider all the chaos that went down just a few hours before Brit walked down the aisle.

As TMZ first reported, her first ex-hubby, Jason Alexander -- to whom she was married with for 55 hours back in 2004 -- made his way onto the property, into the house and even the wedding tent before security took him down until cops arrived to arrest him.

Alexander was booked for trespassing, vandalism and battery. He remains in custody on an outstanding felony warrant for grand theft out of Napa County.

"New Girl" star Lamorne Morris is a couple million dollars richer ... cause we're told he unloaded his Los Angeles area home for around $2 million more than he paid to get it.

TMZ has learned ... Lamorne recently sold his contemporary Spanish pad in L.A.'s Tarzana neighborhood for $5.3 million. Pretty good return, considering he dropped $3.1 million when he bought it back in 2018.

The 6 bedroom, 8 bathroom house was on the market for less than 40 days ... and if you take a look at it, it makes sense why this bad boy was snagged fairly quickly.

Lucky for Lamorne, L.A.'s San Fernando Valley is on fire with home sales and prices in the area are really on the rise.

We're told the buyer isn't a celeb, but whoever scooped it up will enjoy a fully automated smart home with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a chef's kitchen with dual islands and top-of-the-line appliances.

When you step outside, there's a large sparkling pool, a spa, sports court, a pool house with a bar and dining area and plenty of grassy space.

As for Lamore, we're told he's going to be renting a home in the L.A. area for now.

Amber Heard's emerged for the first time since being on the losing end of the Johnny Depp defamation trial ... trading a private jet for a chauffeured car.

The actress popped up Friday at an airfield in Washington, D.C. -- where she climbed down the stairs of her private plane and was ushered into a waiting luxury SUV. Amber's traveling party is at least four deep ... including her sister, Whitney Henriquez.

We're told earlier in the day she'd been in NYC for meetings, but caught a flight from New Jersey to D.C. and then made her way back to Virginia.

It's interesting to see Amber flying private ... remember, she's been ordered to pay Johnny $8.35 million ... and her lawyer, Elaine Charlson Bredehoft, claims Amber can't afford to pay the judgment.

Of course, Amber would probably have a tough time flying commercial these days, even if she was in first class, there are a lot of Depp fans out there.

Jimmy Fallon did his best Joey Chestnut impression during last night's Rangers playoff game in NYC  ... the late-night talk show host dunked his hot dog -- bun and all -- in his beer before devouring both, and spilling everywhere!

'The Tonight Show' host was in the building for game 5 of the Conference Finals game between the NYR and Tampa Bay Lightning ... when Fallon found himself on the big screen at Madison Square Garden, hot dog and beer in hand.

Fallon, a NY native, has clearly seen a Nathan's hot dog eating competition or two in his time ... Jimmy softened up the bun using his brew, before it all went down the hatch.

Of course, if you've watched competitive eating, you know that's the preferred method for eating quickly.

FYI, Chestnut's record is 76 hot dogs/buns in 10 minutes. He routinely puts away over 70.

For Rangers fans, the antics off the ice were far more entertaining ... the team lost game 5 by a score of 3-1, and now trails in the series, 3-2. And, now the team must go on the road to Tampa ... where NY is 0-2 this series.

It's reminiscent of the New York Knicks fan a few years back who was captured on camera dunking chicken nuggets into her soda.

If there's any question as to whether or not brands will work with Johnny Depp again following his trial ... look no further than a resurrected Dior campaign airing in prime time this week.

Depp's face and musical talent are on display in a spot for Dior's Sauvage men's scent, and we caught it on air during "MasterChef" on FOX Wednesday night in the 8-9 PM hour.

Depp signed on with the company back in 2015 as the face of the scent, but it appears to have a resurgence as of late, given the buzz surrounding his trial with Amber Heard. The commercial was shot years ago when the campaign first launched, but for obvious reasons, hadn't exactly been in heavy rotation.

More evidence of the comeback ... Sephora also started pushing the fragrance with an Instagram ad that started popping up again in late May.

We reached out to Dior to ask if the company's purposely putting Depp's face back in play with the men's scent, but they haven't gotten back to us.

Interestingly enough, a recent report stated Sauvage sales had increased at both Sephora and Ulta -- making it one of the best-selling fragrances for the stores' online sales.

As we've shown you -- both during and immediately following the trial -- Depp's achieved rock-star status ... jamming out on stage with Jeff Beck and getting a warm welcome just about every place he goes.
