Sophia Bush is in a new relationship, but she's in no rush to talk about it ... staying quiet about things with recently divorced USWNT star Ashlyn Harris.

Sophia touched down at LAX Wednesday, just one day after news broke she and Harris were a new item. Sophia wasn't in the mood to talk -- avoiding answering about how she and Ashlyn met or what it's been like to get support from her estranged husband, Grant Hughes.

As we reported, Grant's been nothing but supportive of Sophia's new relationship -- just two months after Sophia filed for divorce.

In a statement to TMZ, a rep for Grant tells us, "Grant will always want the best for Sophia, and is supportive of all that makes her happy and fulfilled."

Sophia's not the only one who recently got divorced, Ashlyn and her wife Ali Krieger filed for divorce just last month after 4 years together ... they've got two young kids together.

Mary Lou Retton has suffered a "scary setback" this week in her battle with a rare form of pneumonia ... and she now remains in the ICU fighting for her life.

The Olympic legend's daughter, Shayla, provided the concerning update in a video on her social media page Wednesday evening ... saying Retton had been showing signs of improvement prior to the turn.

"Basically, at the beginning of this week," Shayla said, "we were going on the up-and-up. We were so excited. Seeing so much progress. And then yesterday, we had a pretty scary setback. She is still in ICU."

Thankfully, there is at least a bit of positive news ... Shayla said Retton had a much better day Wednesday, though the 55-year-old former gymnast is clearly nowhere near out of the woods yet.

"We're just working through some things as far as her setback goes," Shayla said.

Retton has been in the ICU since earlier this month ... though plenty have sent prayers her way in the hopes she improves. So far, over 8,000 donors have given more than $450,000 to a SpotFund created on her behalf ... something Shayla said she's super grateful for.

Tori Spelling and her kids had a terrifying Wednesday after a SWAT team looking for a man with an assault rifle turned her block upside down.

Tori and co., along with her neighbors, were ordered to evacuate, and no one needed any encouragement to skedaddle.

Witnesses say the talk on the block was that a man next door to Tori's rental house was barricaded inside with an AR-15. Police took one man into custody.

Tori appeared visibly upset as she raced home in a full sprint ... frantically looking for her children. The actress and her family were in the thick of the action.

Tori stood behind the yellow police caution tape as the standoff played out ... and she was talking with neighbors and taking phone calls.

7:00 PM PT -- Trey Songz's attorney, Michael Freedman, tells TMZ, "This is yet another example of nearly decade-old allegations being repurposed to take advantage of California's constitutionally questionable new look back window. We look forward to vindicating Trey on the merits in court."

Trey Songz is being sued by two women who claim they passed out at his house party only to wake up to him forcing himself on them with nonconsensual sex.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the women are accusing Trey of sexual assault and battery for an alleged 2015 incident at his Los Angeles-area estate.

In the docs, the women say they first met Trey in June 2015 when they went to his concert and got invited to an after-party he was hosting. They say subsequent interactions led them to be invited to his home in August for his birthday party.

The women claim they took an Uber to Trey's home and were forced to give a password and turn over the phones to gain admittance. Inside, they say it was mostly women and only a handful of men, and the ladies were pressured to drink alcohol from unsealed bottles.

In the suit, the women say they suddenly felt overwhelmingly intoxicated, despite drinking what they felt was a modest amount ... and believe they were drugged.

They claim they sat on a couch by the pool and that's when Trey swooped in and led them to an upstairs bedroom where they passed out with their clothes on.

The next morning, the women say the woke up naked ... with a naked Trey forcing himself on them.

One woman claims Trey was giving her nonconsensual oral sex. She says she tried to resist but he overpowered her.

The other woman claims she woke up to Trey biting her nipple and forcing his fingers inside her vagina.

In the suit, the women say Trey demanded they take a shower with him after the alleged sexual attacks ... but they say they refused and he became enraged, yelling at them ..."You are little f****** girls, get the f*** out of my house."

The women say they grabbed their clothes and tried to leave, but Trey refused to turn over their phones. Eventually, they say a security guard intervened, gave them their phones from a safe, and they called an Uber.

In their suit, the women say they've suffered lasting injuries from the alleged incident ... and they're going after Trey for damages.

We reached out to Trey's camp ... so far no word back.

'Real Housewives' star Teddi Mellencamp's renting out her Hollywood Hills home, a palatial spot with obvious appeal for anyone -- well, anyone able to spend a small fortune each month.

Teddi and her husband, Edwin Arroyave, have put their pad on the rental market for $35k a month. Yes, you read that right ... welcome to L.A., where 5-figure rent gets you 4,206 square feet, 5 bedrooms and lots of other amenities.

Their gorgeous home, sitting right above the iconic Sunset Strip, comes with a soaking tub and walk-in dressing room in the main bedroom, a gym and home office on property and a pool out back that extends over the hillside.

That's not all -- Teddi and Edwin's place has a heated spa, outdoor lounge and a BBQ kitchen and bar.

So, basically exactly what everyone imagines living and entertaining in the Hollywood Hills would be.

The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" couple have another home where they live ... not too far away from the Hills rental.

BTW, Farrah Brittany of The Agency holds the listing -- who just so happens to be the daughter of "RHOBH" star Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky.

Nobody does Halloween quite like K-pop stars ... putting their creative costumes on display for their fans to go wild, and we're taking a look at some of the best fits from year's past.

BLACKPINK certainly shows out ... Jennie's rocked a custom "Nini" sailor 'fit, and Rosé previously went as a nerdy "student of the month."

Jisoo and Lisa also teamed up for an impromptu photo shoot -- with the former dressing up as her groupmate's "LALISA" cover look ... and the "Money" rapper electing to go with the "Red Light, Green Light" doll from Squid Game.

The Pinks have some competition though -- Kevin from The Boyz went as creepy Cruella, and Stray Kids' Hyunjin had a Harry Potter-themed getup that would make Draco Malfoy jealous. They really got the villain look down!!

Giselle from Aespa and I.N. from Stray Kids were on the same wavelength ... as both did their best Harley Quinn -- and they crushed it!!

Disney's been a theme, too -- (G)I-dle's Miyeon was the perfect Snow White, and Karina from Aespa decided on the Queen of Hearts from "Alice in Wonderland." Felix from Stray Kids also went the Mickey Mouse route with his Elsa from "Frozen" ... and now we're dying to hear him cover "Let It Go."

Alex Volkanovski was literally holding his adorable newborn Reign when he got the call -- Charles Oliveira was out and Islam Makhachev needed an opponent -- and the 145 lb. champ almost instantly knew it was time for daddy to go to work!

Volkanovski joined Michael Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs daily on FS1) on Wednesday ... where Alex "The Great" talked about the phone call he received late last week from his manager.

"I think I might've had Reign, my newest addition to my family, my newborn Reign," Alex said ... "I might've been holding her, and [my manager] gets on the phone and says, 'Mate, you wouldn't believe it.' And I'm like, 'What's up?' Did not cross my mind one bit. I'm thinking it's for something else. He goes, 'It's looking like Charles isn't going to make it and they need someone.'"

Volkanovski was obviously shocked ... and after conferring with his coach, Joe Lopez, and wife Emma, the decision was clear -- we've got a fight in less than two weeks, and it's going down halfway across the world.

Of course, Makhachev was originally scheduled to fight Oliveira -- a rematch of UFC 280 (Islam won by 2nd round submission).

In some ways, Volkanovski, who lost by unanimous decision to Islam in February (although many people think he actually won), believes the lack of a training camp could actually be beneficial.

"I'm feeling good. I'm excited. That's one thing that I've taken out of all this whole thing, obviously, it's crazy. But man, it's gonna be fun. I don't think I've ever been this excited for a fight.

"Obviously you get excited, but you go through camp, and camp can be exhausting. Mentally and physically exhausting thinking about the fight the whole time. Now I don't have time for that. As soon as I heard about it I had a smile on my face and it hasn't gone away even until now."

Canadian actress Kathleen Robertson was 28 years old when she played Theo -- the busty, hot gal who uses her looks to survive the haunted mansion Hell House -- in the supernatural parody film "Scary Movie 2" back in 2001.

Kathleen shared the comedic script with "Scary Movie" icon Anna Faris as the prudish and caring college student, Cindy, Regina Hall as Cindy's bestie who gives zero F's, Brenda, Marlon Wayans as the stoner, Shorty and Shawn Wayans as Brenda's boyfriend who hits on other guys, Ray.

Prior to "Scary Movie 2," Kathleen was cast as the series regular, Clare Arnold, on "Beverly Hills, 90210" from 1994-1997.

Jussie Smollett is getting help through a rehab treatment facility ... TMZ has confirmed with a rep from Smollett's camp.

The rep tells us, "Jussie has had an extremely difficult past few years. He has quietly been working very hard for some time now and we are proud of him for taking these necessary steps." We're told Smollett is in an outpatient program.

Smollett's rehab stint comes amid his ongoing appeal in his Chicago criminal case. As we've reported, Jussie was found guilty of lying to cops about an alleged attack back in 2019 where he claimed two masked Trump supporters attacked him and put a noose around his neck.

Jussie was sentenced to 150 days in jail for the incident, but was released from jail for his appeal a short time after the sentence. He's been spotted working on film sets here in California as the legal process plays out -- including a project with Vivica A. Fox -- where he seemed to be directing.

JS has also been hanging out with his former "Empire" costar, Taraji P. Henson, spotted on a hike in L.A. -- so, he hasn't necessarily been trying to lay low ... even hitting the BET Awards last year, catching a bit of flack from folks who were shocked to see him attend.

Though we don't know exactly what he's getting treated for ... drug use was mentioned quite a bit during his trial. The Osundairo brothers -- who claimed Jussie hired to be his attackers -- took to the stand to claim they were also his dealers ... and they supplied him with illegal substances on a number of occasions.

A dentist in Miami is out of a job after he was spotted ripping down posters of Israelis kidnapped by Hamas ... learning the definition of f*** around and find out.

A viral video from earlier this week shows two men removing missing people posters put up in Miami's Brickell neighborhood. Internet sleuths were quick on the case, identifying one of the men ripping them down in the footage as dentist Ahmed ElKoussa.

The guy's employer, CG Smile, caught wind of the video and took action ... firing him.

ElKoussa's former dental practice says  ... "We are very sad to see this situation upon waking up. Our office CG Smile is not in favor of any of the actions taken by De. ElKoussa. We do not support terrorist groups, actions or supporters. He has been removed from our staff, all of our social media pages and groups."

Folks in the comments are applauding CG Smile for dismissing ElKoussa, while also wondering what spurred him to rip down the posters.

Billie Eilish is showing off the full version of her massive back tattoo, a piece she's teased before ... and fans are pretty mixed on their thoughts.

The singer posted a pic Wednesday as part of a larger October photo dump -- and in it, she's laying on her stomach at what appears to be a tattoo shop. Billie's got her bare back exposed, showing some sort of intricate design that runs down her spine -- and it looks fresh.

Unclear if this is a shot that she's had in her camera roll for a while ... we've seen glimpses of this tat before, but have never seen the entire thing. This is either Billie showing that she's gotten more work on it recently, or just a flashback to when she first got it done.

In any case ... the tattoo here looks a little smeared and incomplete. There've been mixed reactions to the ink online -- some dig it, others aren't big fans.

FWIW, this is just one of a handful of tats she has ... Billie has one on her chest that reads "Eilish," another one of a dragon on her thigh and yet another showing fairies on her hand.

The chiropractor to a ton of Hollywood stars -- ranging from the Kardashians to Logan Paul and Kevin Hart -- won't be providing services any time soon ... cuz he's now behind bars.

Dr. Patrick Khaziran is famous for appearing on "The Kardashians" and working with huge names like Jamie Foxx and Diddy ... but he got busted for his role in a fraud scheme with former NBA players and is now locked up at USP Lompoc in California.

Known as "Dr. Pat" to the Kardashians, he's featured on the latest episode of the famous family's Hulu series ... getting high praise from Khloe, who is trying to sell him as the answer to Scott Disick's lingering back problems from a 2022 car accident.

In the episode, Scott and Khloe pay Dr. Pat a visit at his chiropractic office in Los Angeles ... which prosecutors claimed was at the center of a scheme to defraud the NBA's health plan out of millions.

The feds say Dr. Pat created fraudulent invoices former NBA players used to bill the league's healthcare plan for medical services that were never actually provided.

The FBI says Dr. Pat was part of the fraud scheme from at least 2016 to 2019 ... during which the feds say he cost the NBA health plan $1.3 million in losses, pocketing $439K for himself and splitting the rest of the dough with former NBA players.

Dr. Pat, who is also a favorite of current NBA players Tristan Thompson and Justise Winslow, was ultimately convicted ... and in February he was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Antonio Brown coughed up $15,000 toward child support payments following his arrest earlier this month ... and in a video he posted Tuesday, he seemed bitter about the situation.

Brown was locked up on Sunday after he had been accused of ducking payments to his ex, Wiltrice Jackson ... but a short time later, he doled out the $15K necessary to get out of jail.

And, on Tuesday, he shared a video on Instagram showing him singing some Young Jeezy lyrics that seemed to show he was mad at Jackson, the mother of his 15-year-old daughter.

"And I don't wanna tell my child that his moms ain't s***," he belted out while holding what appeared to be a receipt for the child support payment and a large wad of cash. "And this ain't about me, she just a money hungry bitch."

Jackson told TMZ Sports just last week that she was upset with Brown for not paying child support for their daughter ... claiming he owed her nearly $31,000.

"I do want him arrested," she said. "Because, right now, he's making a mockery out of the judge, out of everything, because he feels like he's untouchable."

Natalee Holloway's life was ended in a sick and brutal way after she refused sexual advances from her killer, Joran van der Sloot.

In legal docs, obtained by TMZ, van der Sloot admits to killing Holloway in a transcript of a confession made to his attorney ... where he lays out the final minutes of her life.

Joran says he and Natalee were walking along the beach in Aruba after a late night out at a local bar. He says the two found a space on the sand, laid down, and started to kiss. Joran tells his attorney, "I start feeling her up again and she tells me no. She tells me she doesn't want me to - to feel her up. Uh, I insist. I keep feeling her up either way."

Angered by his advances, Joran says Natalee then knees him in the crotch ... and he stands up and kicks her "extremely hard" in the face and knocking her out.

In a sickening confession, van der Sloot then says he grabs a nearby cinder block and smashes her in the head with it ... "I smash her head in with it completely."

Unsure of what to do with her body, van der Sloot says he then carries her into the water, walking until he's about knee-deep and pushes her out into the water to be carried away.

As we reported, van der Sloot was in court in Alabama Wednesday where he entered a guilty plea to charges of wire fraud and extortion after telling the family he'd give up details of her death for money.

Shockingly enough, van der Sloot offered up an apology to the family Wednesday, saying he'd found religion ... but that didn't work with Holloway's mother, Beth, who said he'd always be a killer.

Britney Spears took most of the blame for years after she and Justin Timberlake split due to speculation she cheated -- but she's accusing him of doing the same with another celebrity -- one of many revelations in her new memoir.

Britney's "Woman in Me" doesn't drop until next week, but the cheating claim is just another chapter when it comes to her relationship with the *NSYNC star.

Remember, we were first to report Britney also says she and Justin got pregnant when they were 19, and she claims he pushed for the abortion she eventually had.

In the book, we're told Britney doesn't name the person with whom Justin allegedly stepped out, saying the woman now has a family Brit doesn't want to embarrass ... which means fans will, inevitably, start trying to connect dots on their own.

Of course, Justin dropped his massive hit "Cry Me a River" in 2002 -- admitting he wrote it after a nasty argument with Spears -- with many believing she had cheated on him.

Britney never denied the claims, and released her song "Everytime" the following year -- a song her writing partner says was a direct response to "Cry Me a River." Britney's lyrics in the song include, "I may have made it rain. Please, forgive me. My weakness caused you pain. And this song's my sorry."

However, since we broke the story of the abortion, some fans have speculated "Everytime" is actually about the pregnancy and abortion ... especially because the music video features a woman giving birth at the end.

Britney and Justin first met while working together on "The Mickey Mouse Club" in 1992 and then dated from 1999 to 2002.

Bella Hadid's new boyfriend is a good old-fashioned cowboy -- and while he's certainly known in his own profession ... the dude isn't nearly as famous as any of her other exes.

35-year-old Adan Banuelos -- who doesn't have his own Wikipedia page -- is an esteemed horse rider and trainer ... known for getting the animals ready for competition/performances. He's been doing this since he was a kid ... coming from a family of horse trainers, who are also accomplished.

What we do know for sure is that he started racking up awards in his industry in the 2010s -- specifically, with the National Cutting Horse Association ... an org he's very familiar with.

Cutting horses essentially boils down to making sure they can herd cattle and participate in other athletic events ... including what you might see at a rodeo. Banuelos himself isn't a rodeo guy, per se, but he's got a rep for being one of the best at preparing horses for that.

As proof, consider AB was inducted into the NCHA Hall of Fame in 2017 ... going on to be named the NCHA's "Leading Open Rider" in 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022. He's also won the NCHA Open Futurity Champion ... among LOTS of other accolades he has to his name.

In terms of how he makes a living ... it probably goes without saying, he sells his horsey skills and runs his own business. And it sounds like he's been doing quite well for himself ... 'cause the dude actually touts his own net worth on his website -- at least $5 million.

We also know Banuelos lives out there deep in the heart of Texas ... which is where Bella was just spotted hanging out with him in public and showing off major affection too.

Still no word on how exactly these 2 met, but Bella's affinity for horses as an equestrian is no secret ... so, perhaps, she stumbled across him through connections in that world. In any case, Banuelos is on the map now -- and has a bigger profile than he's ever had before this.

Keep in mind, the men Bella has been involved with pre-Adan are big names ... like Marc Kalman, a famous art director, and of course The Weeknd.
