Taylor Swift & Matty Healy Enjoy Late-Night Music Sesh ... Couple Seems Cozy

Taylor Swift and Matt Healy are inseparable and appear to be in love ... the two were seen exiting a Manhattan recording studio early Tuesday morning and they could hardly contain their excitement for one another.

The couple stepped out of Electric Lady Studios in the West Village and were greeted by a gaggle of photogs snapping pictures of them after they had pulled a late-night music sesh. As you can see, Taylor was all smiles being alongside her man, who gently placed his hand on her back.

Check out video, which shows the pair walking arm and arm to a car waiting in front. Matt, ever the gentleman, guided Taylor into the backseat and got in himself, before the vehicle drove off.

Of course, this was just the latest in a string of TS/MH hookups. Their budding romance first surfaced in the news after Taylor broke up with her longtime boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

As we reported, the 1975 frontman has been traveling all around with Taylor on her sold-out Eras tour to watch her perform. In fact, Matt clocked in some family time with none other than Taylor's father, Scott Swift, at her show in Philly on Saturday.

Taylor and Matt have also been hitting the town recently, going on a double date with Taylor's longtime collaborator, Jack Antonoff and his fiancée, actress Margaret Qualley, at Casa Cipriani in NYC.

The lovebirds -- Taylor and Matt, that is -- were seen sitting side by side holding hands.

Jimmie Allen Ice Cream Collab Seemingly Dropped ... After Rape Allegations

Jimmie Allen's sweet deal with a "Shark Tank" powered ice cream company is apparently out the window ... this following recent rape allegations made against him.

Here's the deal -- it was announced back in March that the country singer was partnering up with The Frozen Farmer, a farm-fresh ice cream company backed by Lori Greiner and featured on the deal-making series.

Jimmie collabed with the biz and came up with Miss Angie's Peach Cobbler Frobert, inspired by a recipe from his mom of the same name ... but if you check out the company's page, the dessert is nowhere to be found and the social media posts promoting it have been deleted.

The pints were jam-packed with references to Jimmie's background, like a pic of him and his mom on the cover or the number 15 on the lid -- the number his dad wore when he played baseball. However, it looks like it's simply in his rearview mirror at this point.

As we reported, Jimmie's being sued by his alleged former business manager, who claims he raped her while she was working for him.

She says he continued to amp up the sexual harassment during her 18 months on the job ... before ultimately being fired from the company that employed her.

Jimmie told us the woman's claims have "no truth to them whatsoever" and alleges she hired a lawyer to ask him for money only after their 2-year consensual sexual relationship ended.

We've reached out to The Frozen Farmer and Jimmie's rep for comment ... so far, no word back.

Gene Simmons Former Estate Gets Insane Makeover ... And $32 Mil Price Bump!!!

Gene Simmons' former estate looks like a brand-new property ... one he might not even recognize at first glance, but the new price tag -- more than double what it was -- will definitely catch his eye!!!

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... the Beverly Hills property, which sits on almost 2 acres of land, is now selling for a whopping $48 million and it's been completely transformed since the KISS frontman had the keys to this palace.

You'll recall, Gene sold the home to Max Nobel of Nobel Development Group back in 2021 for a mere $16 million. We're told the entire property underwent a massive 18-month makeover before returning to the market ... so much so, it's considered a brand-new property.

The new place is completely unrecognizable and was stripped to its studs ... with Nobel L.A. redoing every inch of the 79,948-sq-ft lot and estate that features 7 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms.

It comes with enough parking for up to 30 cars! There's a 3-car garage attached to the main house and a separate 10-car garage with the option for lifts that can accommodate 20 cars -- it all sits where Gene used to have a tennis court.

We're told there's still room for a pickleball court if the new owners are interested in installing it. The property also includes a gorgeous new 60x20 swimming pool, a movie theater and an outdoor BBQ area with a 30-guest dining space ... lots of room for entertaining!

Buzz around the city is this is one of the most incredible properties in California and despite it being massive, it has the type of privacy one can only dream of having in Bev Hills.

"Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" stars Josh and Matt Altman of Douglas Elliman hold the listing but had no comment.

UFC's Ian Garry Has 5-6 Fight Plan To Become Champ ... Starts W/ Neil Magny

babcock garry
UNBEATABLE GARRY
TMZSports.com

Ian Garry, soon to be the #15 ranked welterweight, isn't rushing his way to the top ... "The Future" tells us he has a plan laid out, and it starts with fighting a guy he believes is the gatekeeper to the top 10!

25-year-old Garry defeated Daniel Rodriguez inside 3 minutes (it's the first time D-Rod's been finished with strikes) on UFC on ABC 4 ... and joined Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs weekdays on FS1) where he talked about his next moves.

"Yeah, [Neil Magny is] still the guy I want for so many reasons," Garry said. "I believe that everybody knows who Magny is. Everybody knows how game a fighter Magny is."

Garry admits Magny (27-10) may not have the best record ... but he's a guy who can expose you if you aren't prepared.

"If there's a guy in the division before you enter that top 10 that you wanna test yourself against and see if you're legit, it's Neil Magny."

As it stands, "The Future" is a perfect 12-0 ... in a sport where unbeaten records are a rarity. And, the zero is something that Ian says means a lot to him.

"To be able to sit there and say no one ever cracked the code, to be able to sit there and say no one was able to decipher the game that I bring to the table, absolutely. 100%," he said.

Despite the immense success so early in his career, Garry isn't resting on his laurels. In fact, he says he's planned a trip to Brazil where he'll work on jiujitsu ... as well as a voyage all the way to New Zealand, where he's going to train with middleweight champ Israel Adesanya.

"Don't tell me that if I'm training with Adesanya, that I can't pick up one or two little details that are gonna help elevate my game," Garry said.

"Traveling and learning and growing and becoming better is inevitably more important to me right now than hunting for the title right now, because when I decide to make that title run, I'm gonna succeed and nobody's gonna be able to take me off that."

Perhaps the coolest part of the win for Ian was his idol Conor McGregor's reaction to the one-sided victory ... when Notorious tweeted, "When you call your shot and hit it, that’s special. The Shot Caller Club has a new entry, Ireland’s Ian 'The Future' Garry! #NotAScratch."

Garry was loving it ... saying, "I'm like a f***ing kid in a candy store when I see that guy post stuff on Twitter," Garry said. "He's also f***ing hilarious."

"Look, he's a superstar, and if I could have any amount of success that he had, I would be proud."

Guess Who This Girl With Pigtails Turned Into!

Before this sweet little girl in her dress was starring on TV shows and quick-stepping her heart out on "Dancing With The Stars," she was just a little girl with big dreams of making it in Hollywood while growing up in Brooklyn, New York.

She's had quite the successful acting career ... you may recall her angry New Yorker persona as Carrie Heffernan on the sitcom "The King of Queens" or perhaps Vanessa Cellucci in the sitcom "Kevin Can Wait"... both roles alongside Kevin James.

Need one more hint? Just ask her friend Jennifer Lopez!

Can you guess who she is?

Khloe Kardashian Don't Confuse Me With Kourtney ... I'm The Tall Blonde!!!

Khloe Kardashian says she keeps getting mistaken for her sister Kourtney ... so she's putting together a little project to set the record straight.

The youngest Kardashian sister created a slideshow presentation Monday on her Instagram story, highlighting all the ways she and her oldest sister Kourtney are similar and different.

Khloe jokes folks have been confusing her and Kourtney for years ... including the Elvis Presley impersonator who officiated Kourtney and Travis Barker's Las Vegas wedding, and more recently, the folks waiting outside the Ritz-Carlton in Manhattan.

KHOLE OR KOURTNEY ??
BACKGRID

It seems Khloe's mainly referencing the scene that played out Monday in NYC ... where a crowd was waiting for her and Kim Kardashian to climb out of their SUV and head into the Ritz ... with someone shouting, "Kourtney," as Khloe walked by.

Khloe jokingly says ... "I totally understand how we look like identical twins so this might be challenging for some but hopefully this presentation will help."

One of the major differences, Khloe says, is hair color ... she says 99% of the time Kourtney is brunette, and 99% of the time she is blonde. Khloe also points out she stands about 5'10 while Kourtney is much shorter at 5 feet, calling the height disparity a "dead giveaway."

Of course, Khloe says there are similarities too, which is why she thinks people get them confused. She says, "Kourtney is fabulous, gorgeous, hysterical so I get how people mix us up." Khloe also says Kourtney is "hot as f***" and that's another reason she thinks people "keep blending us together."

Khloe says the mix-ups happen "on a daily basis multiple times a day" ... and she says that's being conservative.

In conclusion, Khloe says she hopes her "presentation helped those that have been confused for over 20 years."

Kanye West Hits Chick-fil-A Before Gym With Wife in Tow

Kanye West started his week with a busy afternoon, hitting both the gym and his favorite fast-food joint all within a few hours of each other.

Ye and his wife, Bianca Censori, were spotted in West Hollywood Monday ... each dressed in space-age-looking spandex and Kanye with a loose-fitting jacket. The two then piled into a waiting Mercedes SUV before heading to a nearby Chick-fil-A.

Check out the pics, Kanye sat in the backseat as his chauffeur hit the drive-thru. Unclear exactly what he ordered, or maybe he just grabbed a lemonade before the couple's next stop at a private gym.

Of course, we've seen Ye and Bianca out a lot recently since we broke the story of their private wedding at the beginning of this year.

One more thing to mention ... it appears Kanye's wearing some sort of sock/shoe combo. We were the first to report he's filed to trademark 'YZY Sock Shoes' so maybe he's already testing them out in everyday scenarios.

Jamie Foxx Doing Physical Rehab in Chicago ... Family by His Side

Jamie Foxx continues to receive medical treatment after his serious health scare last month in Atlanta -- but now he's in a new city, at a facility touted as the top physical medicine and rehabilitation center in the country.

Jamie's family, including his daughters Corinne and Anelise, as well as Anelise's mother, Kristin Grannis, were all in Chicago both Saturday and Sunday to spend time with Foxx during his continued care.

While we still don't know exactly what happened to Jamie or why he's there ... we know the facility specializes in stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury rehab, spinal cord injury rehab and cancer rehabilitation.

One source tells us Foxx arrived at this facility in Chicago in late April -- after initially getting treatment in an Atlanta hospital -- and sources connected to Jamie tell us he's "recovering well."

Jamie's loved ones appeared to be in good spirits over the weekend, and there are signs he's alert and active -- including the fact Kristin left the center with Mother's Day flowers and a balloon.

Also, Anelise had her guitar with her, so you gotta imagine she was able to play and sing with her dad ... a good sign considering how important music is to Jamie.

Corinne, who has been by her dad's side from the start of his medical troubles, was also joined by her boyfriend on at least one of the visits, cracking a smile ... which, hopefully, is a marker of positive things happening for Jamie.

At the end of last week, Corinne announced her father had been out of the hospital for "weeks" and was "recuperating" -- she also mentioned he was playing pickleball.

While it's clear he's still getting treatment, the rehab center is obviously encouraging for Jamie's overall progress -- and the facility offers an adaptive sports and fitness program -- which could explain the game of pickleball.

As we reported, Jamie was first hospitalized April 12 in Atlanta for what his family called a "medical complication" ... but all seems to be headed in the right direction.

Conor McGregor U-F-See My Body?!? ... Thirst Trap Pic In Nothing But My Undies!!!

Tom Brady's now got some company in the underwear thirst trap game ... Conor McGregor just shared a snap of him in nothing but his tiny briefs just like the G.O.A.T. -- and he looks gooooood!!!!

The 34-year-old UFC star posted the pic on his Instagram page on Monday afternoon ... showing off his ripped body in some small undies.

In the photo, Conor can be seen laying out catching some rays ... all while his muscles -- and more -- were on full display.

McGregor seemed to be trying to draw the attention toward his Forged Irish Stout beer with the post -- as he had a can of it in his left hand. Conor also captioned the pic, "🌞 @forgedirishstout."

Fans loved it all ... with one commenter saying they wanted the 22-6 fighter to start an OnlyFans page.

Of course, McGregor is far from the only athlete to showcase his body sans pants and shirt ... Cristiano Ronaldo does it all the time, as did Brady in the days following his retirement back in February.

Hollywood Writers Strike 'Pay the Writers, You AI-Holes' ... Banner Flies Over Studios

MESSAGE FROM THE SKY
TMZ.com

Hollywood writers striking for fair pay and protections against artificial intelligence are getting some air support ... in the form of a funny banner flying over the major studios.

The banner reads ... "Pay the writers, you AI-Holes" ... and on Monday, a small plane towed it above Amazon, CBS, FOX, Netflix, Paramount, Sony, Universal and Warner Bros.

On the ground, writers continue to pack the picket lines as the strike enters its third week ... with neither side showing signs of ending the stalemate.

The strike is definitely getting ugly ... in addition to the airplane banner, a massive, inflatable rat popped up outside Amazon Studios ... the huge rodent is holding bags of money, wearing a tuxedo and smoking a cigar. The messaging here is anything but subtle.

As for who is funding the plane and the banner ... we're told the money is coming from donations from various unions supporting the striking writers.

UPDATE

Glizzy's girlfriend has filed docs asking for a restraining order against the rapper.

Shy Glizzy got arrested over the weekend after cops say he pulled a gun on his girlfriend and threatened to harm her ... TMZ has learned.

We're told the alleged incident played out on a public street around 9 AM Saturday ... and Shy took off after the argument. Our sources say West Hollywood Sheriff's Deputies got involved and a criminal report was made ... Shy was eventually tracked down by 6 PM and arrested.

Shy Glizzy was booked on a felony charge of making criminal threats ... records show he was released after about 4 hours behind bars on a $50,000 bond.

VILLAGE PEOPLE SINGER QUIT SINGING MY SONG, TRUMP ... Macho Man Is Nacho Man!!!

UPDATE

11:39 AM PT -- Trump's high-powered attorney, Joe Tacopina, tells TMZ, "I will only deal with the attorney of the Village People, if they have one, not the wife of one of the members. But they should be thankful that President Trump allowed them to get their name back in the press. I haven’t heard their name in decades. Glad to hear they are still around."

Donald Trump loves the Village People, but the feeling is apparently NOT mutual ... and now the band's lead singer is demanding Trump stop hiring impersonators to perform the band's iconic songs at Mar-a-Lago.

The wife of Victor Willis -- lead singer of the Village People -- fired off a legal warning to Trump, telling him to stop confusing people into believing they endorse him for president, which they claim Trump's doing with his entertainment choices.

DANCIN' DONALD

The cease and desist letter, sent Monday and obtained by TMZ, comes on the heels of viral videos showing Trump dancing to a Village People tribute band at his Florida resort.

Willis says ever since the video of Trump dancing to "Macho Man" went viral on social media, the Village People have been flooded with questions from fans wondering if they endorse Trump.

TMZ INVESTIGATES

The band says it's not them in the video, but rather a bunch of impersonators dressed like them ... and they say they never gave Trump permission to use the group's image and likeness at Mar-a-Lago.

According to the letter, Willis has "tolerated" Trump's use of Village People music in the past, but it sounds like the Mar-a-Lago concert is crossing a line ... so Willis is now demanding Trump stop using the band's images and music going forward, and threatening a lawsuit if Trump and his campaign don't comply.

WWE Legend Billy Graham On Life Support ... Battling 'Serious Health Issues'

WWE Hall of Famer "Superstar" Billy Graham -- known for his prowess as a bodybuilder and wrestler -- is on life support ... and his family says his situation is dire.

Graham's wife, Valerie, shared an update on her husband's status Monday ... saying, "Please urgent prayers needed for my husband. The doctors wanted to remove him from life support tonight. I refused."

"He’s a fighter and his will is strong even if his body isn’t. God is our hope."

According to a GoFundMe page for the WWE legend, the 79-year-old is dealing with a "myriad of very serious health issues" and has been in the ICU for over three weeks.

The once iconic bodybuilder is suffering from a significant infection in his ears and skull, congestive heart failure, diabetes, and hearing loss. His family said he's also recently lost 45 pounds.

Born Eldrige Wayne Coleman, Graham rose to prominence wrestling for American Wrestling Association and later the World Wrestling Federation.

In 2004, WWE inducted Graham -- who mentored the likes of Hulk Hogan, Jesse Ventura, Scott Steiner, and Ric Flair -- into its Hall of Fame.

Martha Stewart Lands S.I. Swimsuit Cover At 81 ... Oldest Model In History!!!

Martha Stewart is proving age ain't nothin' but a number ... 'cause the 81-year-old entrepreneur is gracing the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue this year -- making her the oldest model to ever get the honor!!

S.I. revealed the special cover on Monday ... showing the best-selling author and TV personality wearing a white one-piece halter bathing suit in the Dominican Republic.

Stewart explained her decision to pose for the famous mag ... saying, "When I heard that I was going to be on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, I thought, 'Oh, that’s pretty good, I’m going to be the oldest person I think ever on a cover of Sports Illustrated,'" Stewart said.

"And I don’t think about age very much, but I thought that this is kind of historic."

Stewart -- who turns 82 in August -- added she wanted to do the SI Swimsuit issue to prove you can look and feel good at any age.

"Age is not the determining factor in terms of friendship or in terms of success, but what people do, how people think, how people act, that’s what’s important and not your age," Martha said.

Stewart was one of four women picked to appear on the cover -- Megan Fox, Kim Petras and SI Swimsuit veteran Brooks Nader also got the nod.

FYI, this isn't Stewart's first modeling gig ... she modeled back in her teenage years for several companies, including Chanel.

Tiger Shark Attacks Fisherman On Kayak ... Caught On Video!!

KAYAK ATTACK
Youtube / Hawaii Nearshore Fishing

A fisherman in Hawaii just had a real-life "Jaws" moment ... after a massive shark attacked him while kayaking in the ocean, and the entire death-defying encounter was caught on video!

It all happened on Friday, May 12 ... Scott Haraguchi was out fishing near the Kualoa shore in Honolulu, Hawaii. After catching a fish, he forgot to turn off his GoPro ... and it's a good thing he did.

Just a few minutes later, everything seems normal until all of a sudden, a tiger shark attacked his kayak, biting the boat for about 2 seconds, as Haraguchi screamed in fear.

Thankfully, Scott was able to kick the shark off.

Haraguchi, of course, was freaked out, and went on to warn nearby fishermen ... telling KITV he initially thought it was a turtle.

"I heard a whooshing sound that sounded like a boat heading towards me without the motor and I looked up and I saw this big brown thing," Haraguchi said.

"My brain thought it was a turtle but then I got slammed by it and realized that it was a tiger shark."

Haraguchi also said he's lucky to be alive and is concerned about the several shark sightings in the area, including a 20-foot shark the day after his incident.
