Before this cheezin'-smilin' sweetie turned into a big-time YouTuber and social media star, he was just growing up in Jackson, Michigan with his TWELVE siblings and heading off to Michigan State University -- earning his marketing and social media degree.

Armie Hammer says he's starting fresh now that he's back in Los Angeles ... and that means parting ways with a gas-guzzling truck full of happy family memories.

The actor says he's having to sell a truck he's owned for 7 years because the cost to fill up his tank is out of control ... taking it to CarMax even though his kids are begging him not to kiss goodbye to the car.

Armie's cleaning out the car before finalizing the deal, and he's getting emotional thinking back on all the family road trips and milestones he went through behind the wheel ... including taking his kids home from the hospital.

6:25 PM PT -- A spokeswoman for J.D. Vance tells TMZ ...“J.D. clearly says in the audio that our leaders on the left, especially anti-child radical Randi Weingarten, who brainwash our kids, are deeply disturbing — and he stands by that statement."

Another one of J.D. Vance’s "childless" jibes is coming back to haunt him ... this time slamming teachers who don’t have biological kids ... which fits right in with his controversial "cat lady" remark.

In unearthed audio from 2021, you can hear J.D. ranting about how disoriented and disturbed he feels about leaders of the left without biological kiddos of their own trying to "brainwash the minds of our children."

Oscar De La Hoya and Holly Sonders are turning their raunchy dance video into a PSA of sorts ... calling on everyone who tuned into it to get their prostates and boobs checked out.

TMZ Sports obtained a response clip from the power couple after they made headlines for shakin' it for all to see in Mexico last week ... and they say the whole thing was part of a bigger plan to get everyone's attention for a good cause -- the "Tanga and Ta-tas awareness program.

"So a lot of you thought we were crazy with the first video that we made, but all we really wanted to do was bring awareness to the ta-tas and to the peckers, because it is that time of  year for you to get a prostate exam and a mammogram," a bikini-clad Sonders said in the video.

Brittany Cartwright is popping bottles after pulling the plug on her marriage ... getting some alcohol delivered to her door only hours after filing to divorce Jax Taylor.

The "Vanderpump Rules" alum and "The Valley" star ordered a bottle of booze on Uber Eats and met the delivery man in a bathing suit and a towel.

Brittany looks pretty happy here ... though we're not sure if the smile on her face is for the incoming liquor ... or for filing to end things with her husband of 5 years.

This is sick ... disturbing video out of Florida appears to show a man physically abusing a dog and wielding a sharp object ... and now police are involved.

In the footage, posted to social media by Only in Dade, you see a man and a large dog on the balcony of a Miami high-rise ... and the guy appears to grab the pooch by the neck and head, shoving the poor pup's face toward the floor.

The dog here is clearly scared, and tries to get away from the man ... but he grabs the dog again, this time with what looks to be a knife in hand, and appears to strike the dog in the ribs multiple times.

Killer mom Susan Smith’s ex-husband isn’t the only one standing in the way of her potential release -- her trial's lead prosecutor is also battling to keep her locked up for killing her two young sons back in '94.

Tommy Pope, the former solicitor for South Carolina’s 16th Judicial Circuit, tells TMZ he’s joining forces with the current solicitor, Kevin Brackett, to keep Susan behind bars at S.C.’s Leath Correctional Institution for the rest of her life ... saying he'll do anything to ensure she doesn't get out of prison. Smith has her first parole hearing set for Nov. 4.

Pope says actions have consequences ... and while mental health issues can be a factor in cases of taking someone’s life, he thinks Susan’s decision to drown her young kids just to stay with a man who didn’t want children was an extreme example of selfishness.

Now that his oldest son is his teammate on the Lakers, the four-time champion ended the speculation on how the work relationship will play out ... especially when it comes to how the rookie will address him.

"No, he can't [call me dad]," 39-year-old LeBron said on the upcoming episode of "The Shop" on Uninterrupted. "Cannot call me 'dad' in the workplace. Once we leave out the private facility and the gates close, I can be 'dad' again."

Machine Gun Kelly is opening up about Sean Strickland after their run-in at a Power Slap event back in February ... warning the UFC fighter to quit running his mouth!

The Cleveland native swung by Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast to chop it up on a wide range of topics ... including the disdain between Kelly and Strickland.

At a point during the conversation, the topic turned to Strickland ... and it's very evident MGK is far from a fan of the former UFC middleweight champion.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says Cheryl Hines doesn't deserve to be bullied over Donald Trump because his endorsement doesn't mean his wife is a Trump supporter ... quite the opposite.

RFK Jr. joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and told us Cheryl had some trepidation about him suspending his own presidential campaign and throwing his support behind Trump, even though she was the one who actually brought the two candidates together in the first place.

Cheryl's getting tons of heat for RFK Jr. hopping on the Trump train, especially from folks in Hollywood ... but her husband makes it clear ... she's NO Trump supporter.

Mariah Carey did NOT have any contact with her sister before she died ... because an alleged drug addiction drove a massive wedge between the two siblings.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... Mariah never once contacted her sister, Alison, before she passed ... and instead spent the past week with their dying mother, Patricia.

Mariah was estranged from Alison ... and our sources say it's all because Alison suffered for many years from addiction. We're told Mariah tried supporting Alison, both emotionally and financially, but it wasn't enough to get Alison back on the straight and narrow.

Tom Girardi, the disgraced powerhouse attorney known for his marriage to "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne, has been found guilty of embezzling more than $15 million from former clients.

A federal jury issued the verdict Tuesday in Los Angeles, where the famed lawyer stood trial for running a fraud scheme between 2010 and 2020 ... in which he pilfered millions from settlement funds from several clients. Girardi was found guilty on 4 counts of wire fraud.

Girardi's defense attorney, Charles Snyder, painted a different picture for the jury ... claiming others at TG's now-defunct law firm Girardi Keese -- which represented plaintiffs in several high-profile cases, including the one against Pacific Gas & Electric Co. dramatized in the film "Erin Brockovich" -- stole the funds as Girardi's mental health declined.

Cops in New Jersey say a Florida man whipped out a steak knife and lunged at another diner during a heated argument over spilled wine in a restaurant ... and it's all on video!!!

While the couple did censor the image -- choosing not to violate any of Insta's nudity guidelines -- they left enough of their bare legs visible to make a splash.
