Before this lil' Florida gal in her Minnie Mouse tee turned into a Bravoleb, she was just a theater kid dancing around the house, riding horses at just 6 years old and dreaming of becoming a Broadway star!

She may have started out as Scheana Shay's "backup dancer," but she received rave reviews for her singing and dancing gig on Broadway earlier this year ... Perhaps you heard about her show's scandal that rocked the world.

Donald Trump says he learned people could get away with abhorrent behavior as long as they had good ratings like he did on "The Apprentice" ... according to a bombshell book.

The ex-prez made the claims during an interview with Variety Co-Editor-in-Chief Ramin Setoodeh for, "Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass" which dropped Tuesday.

We've already told you a little about the new book ... but, just as a refresher, DJT sat for several interviews with Setoodeh and, the portrayal of 45 as a lonely, occasionally dotty man ex-TV star isn't flattering.

Sarah Becker -- a reality television star who appeared on MTV's "The Real World" -- has died by suicide ... TMZ has learned.

A family member of Becker confirmed the tragic news to TMZ ... telling us she died early last week at her home in Illinois. She'd moved to the area to take care of family last year, but had plans to move back to California.

Unfortunately, we're told she struggled with mental health in recent months ... including taking care of her ailing mother and sister -- and, a skateboarding accident compounded her troubles.

Nicola Coughlan's haters aren't going to stop hating ... but, that's fine 'cause she's an inspiration to women everywhere who's not letting it get to her -- so says her costar.

Simone Ashley -- who's played Kate in the second and third seasons of the show -- recently answered questions about the hate her costar's received from people online who have criticized her body since her famous sex scene from the recently released third season of the show.

Ashley's pretty upfront ... telling festivalgoers in Monaco haters gonna hate, but it's not affecting Nicole -- assuring everyone she's very tough, and responding to all the hate with confidence and intelligence.

Dave Grohl's ready to Foo Fight some Swifites ... 'cause he took a shot at Taylor Swift -- implying she's not actually performing live at her shows.

The singer-songwriter took the stage with the Foo Fighters at London Stadium Saturday night ... about 25 miles from Wembley Stadium where Taylor has performed all three of her shows this weekend.

Check out the clip ... DG starts out by name-dropping the pop star's "Eras" Tour -- which receives a lot of boos from the crowd. Dave jokes FF should rename their string of shows the "Errors" Tour 'cause he says they've messed up their fair share since hitting the road.

Bad Bunny was a very bad boy in Paris this weekend ... grabbing Kendall Jenner's backside while walking around the City of Love!

The singer-songwriter stepped out with the model-turned-mogul and hit up the popular Ferdi restaurant in the city ... and, check out the pics 'cause there is a whole lot of PDA happening here.

Bad and Kendall wear matching gray outfits -- him in a stylish suit and Kendall clad in a skintight bodysuit ... and, clearly the temptation's too great for BB 'cause he's got hands all over Kendall's booty as they leave the hot spot.

Julio Foolio's fatal shooting left a devastating scene in its wake -- victims taken off in stretchers and cars riddled with bullet holes ... and, TMZ's obtained video capturing it all.

Check out the new clips from just after the shooting took place ... police take command of the scene while paramedics rush around tending to those allegedly wounded in the gunfire.

Check out the series of clips ... one person can clearly be seen in pain as the paramedics roll them away from the Holiday Inn toward an ambulance. Cops say three other people were injured in the shooting that killed Foolio -- and, they're all expected to survive.

When it comes to embracing beef, Taylor Swift is a master, because she resurrected her feud with Kim Kardashian during a London performance of the "Eras" tour.

Taylor's wind-up was thanking the crowd profusely for coming out in droves. She will play the famed Wembley Stadium 8 times this summer, and filled the 90-thousand-capacity venue to the gills at her latest show.

Then she fired ... “On the other hand, it really makes me think about how every time someone talks s**t, it just makes me work even harder and it makes me even tougher. So, it also makes me incredibly thankful for those people.”

Julio Foolio -- an up-and-coming rapper from Florida -- has died in a shooting outside a Tampa-area hotel ... TMZ has confirmed.

His attorney Lewis Fusco released a statement announcing the death Sunday, just hours after his client passed. According to the statement ... Julio -- whose real name was Charles Jones -- was in town to celebrate his birthday.

While he was staying at an AirBnb at first ... Fusco cites law enforcement reports which say he was kicked out of his accommodations for exceeding the maximum occupancy and checked in to a local Holiday Inn.

Celine Dion felt the love this weekend ... 'cause a world-class cellist honored her with a rendition of her "Titanic" theme -- and safe to say she's never gonna let go of the memory.

The singer-songwriter attended HAUSER's "Rebel With a Cello" show at Wynn Las Vegas Saturday night ... if you don't know, HAUSER's a prominent cello player from Croatia.

Celine got applause when she arrived at the venue ... so, clearly, it was no secret she was in the crowd -- and, HAUSER played "My Heart Will Go On" as a way to honor the music legend.

Ryan Garcia isn't retiring ... the boxing superstar tells TMZ Sports he won't give his detractors the satisfaction. So, when his one-year suspension run ends, King Ry will be back in the squared circle!

But, until then ... he's ready to fight somewhere else besides the ring.

We ran into 25-year-old Garcia, who was out in Los Angeles Friday afternoon, where we asked Ryan about the punishment levied by the New York state athletic commission, whether he was truly retired, and if he was serious about fighting MMA.

Tom Cruise's appearance at Taylor Swift's London concert on Saturday was not only a huge hit with fans ... but he was also super popular with the pop star's boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

Check out the video ... Tom was sitting in a VIP box while grooving to Taylor's music with a big smile on his face. Travis was also grinning while standing behind Tom and placing both hands on his shoulders.

Travis then leaned in and said something to Tom, prompting a little laugh from the acting legend. Tom then patted Travis' hand as a friendly gesture.

"Wizards of Waverly Place" alum Dan Benson says a very specific issue led him down the road to OnlyFans ... his nudes were being leaked on the internet without him seeing a dime.

As Dan explains in our new documentary, "TMZ Presents: Famous & Naked," his nudes kept popping up on seedy websites ... and when he would get them taken down from one site, they would just appear in other spaces.

Basically, Dan was playing a game of Whack-A-Mole.

Jennifer Lopez continued her vacation in Italy without hubby Ben Affleck ... enjoying a Saturday dinner with a couple of friends at a swanky restaurant.

The singer/actress and her two pals – a man and a woman – arrived at the Ristorante Da Vincenzo in Positano for an upscale Italian feast last evening.

We're told Jen and Co. sat down at a table outside to celebrate a birthday for someone in the group. (In case you’re wondering, J Lo’s b’day is next month so it probably wasn’t her little soirée.)

Nika King says she's stoked the long-awaited third season for "Euphoria" is finally back on track ... but at this point, it's a little unclear if she's even gonna be part of the new season.

We talked to the actress after HBO honchos confirmed the hit show was back in production, and there'd be a time jump in the story ... which Nika says she's all for, considering how long it's been since Season 2 ended.

It makes sense -- especially since cast members have changed in real life ... not to mention the passing of Angus Cloud.

Jalen Green and Draya Michele aren't letting the haters on their relationship get to them ... telling TMZ Sports the critics can think what they want!!

We caught the couple -- with their new baby girl in tow -- as they were out and about in West Hollywood this week. While many people have voiced their opinion on the couple's 17-year age gap ... they are not letting the haters get to them.

"We try to stay off the internet and not really listen to that kind of stuff," 39-year-old Michele said. "We block it out and mind our business."
