6:55 PM PT -- Major League Baseball released a statement following the passing of Pete Rose ... extending their condolences to Rose's family, friends and friends "who admired his greatness, grit and determination on the field of play."

MLB legend Pete Rose has died at the age of 83, TMZ Sports has learned.

Rose, Major League Baseball's hit king, passed away earlier today at his home in Las Vegas ... where he was found by a family member.

Livvy Dunne rocked a fitting accessory to watch her boyfriend, Paul Skenes, finish off his one-of-a-kind rookie season ... a pair of one-of-a-kind boots!

The feet heat -- which Dunne sported to cheer on the Pirates ace in his 2024-25 finale against the Yankees on Saturday -- featured a white Skenes Pittsburgh jersey on a pair of white Cowboy boots ... and TMZ Sports has learned Jessica Martini made them by hand.

The artist tells us she just recently came up with the idea for the footwear after leaving her tech consulting job ... and after she was able to make some pairs for the wives of MLB All-Stars Aaron Nola and Will Smith earlier this season, she reached out to Dunne to see if the LSU gymnast would want some of her own to cheer on her man.

Before this lil' cutie in her fancy hat turned into an Australian-American actress, she was just growing up in Brisbane with her three siblings and dreaming of seeing herself on the big screen one day!

She first got her start in television on the Australian fantasy teen drama "H20: Just Add Water," however in 2011 she cemented herself as a worldwide star landing the role as Rebekah on "The Vampire Diaries."

From her success, she's used her platform for advocacy like raising money for Boston Children's Hospital and running the New York City Marathon.

More proof Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are totally fine despite her glaring absence from his last two NFL games ... he's never expected his girlfriend to attend every contest, and even said so himself.

Travis voiced his expectations for his girlfriend in an interview back in 2016, and now the clip is resurfacing in light of Taylor being MIA at Chiefs games for two straight NFL Sundays.

In the clip, Travis tells WhoSay ... "If you're dating a professional athlete, I do not believe, at least for me, that you have to go to all the games."

Sarah Hyland is cutting out her former manager from his cut of her "Modern Family" paychecks ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

The "Modern Family" star is being sued by Richard Konigsberg, who claims he served as her personal and professional manager for 15 years and helped her land her breakthrough role on the hit sitcom.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Richard says Sarah unceremoniously fired him in April in what he believes is an attempt to get out of paying him his 10% commission on a couple lucrative projects he helped Sarah land.

Diddy is once again trying to get himself released on bond, 2 weeks after he was arrested ... and we're told he's building a powerhouse legal team to try to make it a reality.

New court documents show the rap mogul's lawyer filed to appeal the most recent order denying him bond ... the appeal will be his 3rd formal attempt to secure his release from behind bars as he awaits trial.

Sources close to Diddy tell TMZ ... the rapper has added 2 more attorneys -- Anthony Ricco and Alexandra Shapiro -- to the legal team working on his highly publicized criminal case. (For those wondering, Alexandra is not related to famed defense attorney Robert Shapiro).

Jussie Smollett is talking Lee Daniels, Kristin Cavallari is single and Dikembe Mutombo is being remembered ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles break down Jussie's comments on "Empire" creator Lee.

Rob Schneider was one of millions to share their condolences following Dikembe Mutombo's death ... but his tribute to the legend stuck out in particular -- as he used the tragic news to push his anti-vax stance.

The comedian went to X to mourn Mutombo's passing on Monday ... starting it off by saying, "Rest in Peace..."

Many wish he would've just left it at that ... as the rest of his post -- which quoted a video Mutombo made in 2021 to promote the Covid vaccine -- speculated if getting the jab had anything to do with the former All-Star's death.

Cardi B says she underwent major surgery completely unaware she had a little bun baking in the oven at the time.

The rapper explained on IG Live Sunday she had her butt injections removed along with fibrosis removal in January after getting the all-clear from two blood tests -- but in March, when she discovered she was pregnant, her OBGYN gave her some shocking news.

Cardi said the doc dropped the bombshell ... revealing she was 17 to 18 weeks pregnant -- yep, that means she was expecting during her surgery.

Britney Spears is back in action on IG, sharing a wild tale of almost setting herself on fire months ago -- all while using her bizarre, self-proclaimed "British" accent.

In the video posted Monday, Brit recounted her near-miss, saying she usually has her security handle the fireplace lighting because it’s caused some drama before ... but 6 months ago, she took matters into her own hands, and it blew up in her face -- literally!

Now, we haven’t exactly seen pics of her singed face from earlier this year, but Brit insists she was convinced she’d clocked some second and third-degree burns after losing her eyelashes and eyebrows.

Media Day wasn't all fun and games for Draymond Green on Monday ... he got into a feisty back-and-forth with a reporter that lasted nearly two minutes.

The journalist's comment -- "people worry about you" -- came as the Warriors superstar was sitting down for a Q and A at Golden State's annual (and normally lighthearted) preseason event ... and, check out the video, Green seemed to take umbrage with it right away.

He stopped the media member in his tracks ... and asked him, "Why are they worried about me?"

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are still going strong despite her noticeable absence at his last two NFL games.

Sources familiar with the couple tell TMZ … Taylor and Travis remain a couple, even though she hasn't been able to make it to his last two games in Atlanta and Los Angeles.

Taylor was at Travis' first two games this year, both in Kansas City, but she's been MIA since ... including a game at SoFi Stadium, where she had a bunch of concerts last year.

Beverly Hills was the scene of a real-life nightmare when an alleged kidnapper tried to yank a little girl from her dad’s arms in broad daylight -- ending up stabbed in the scuffle and later dying.

Onlookers caught some of the incident on camera Saturday ... showing the injured father desperately pleading for someone to call 911 while clutching his young daughter, safe again in his arms -- as the suspect turned his fury toward a Good Samaritan who tried to intervene.

In the footage, the bloodied assailant is seen diving into the rear car window of the man who only wants to be identified as Brian. He later told L.A.'s ABC7 it was clear the attacker was experiencing a psychotic break or reacting to drugs.

Akon may sing about being "Locked Up," but the singer has no feedback for Diddy as he sits in jail ... telling us the justice system will work the situation out.

We caught up with the recording artist at LAX, where Akon avoided commenting on whether Diddy has been targeted for his success as a Black man ... a defense his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has made since the rap mogul's arrest.

Akon hinted the idea was all a "defense mechanism" -- but emphasized it wasn't his place to comment.

Diddy's still got people on his side as the allegations and lawsuits pile up ... and the latest show of support comes courtesy of the mother of his youngest child.

Dana Tran, who has a daughter with Diddy, was spotted Saturday for the first time since his indictment ... and she was showing off her "LOVE" ring as she played with their little girl.

Dana and Diddy's daughter, Love, is turning 2 years old in a couple weeks ... but it doesn't look like daddy's going to be there, because he's behind bars in New York as he awaits trial on sex trafficking, kidnapping and racketeering charges.

The bad weather couldn't keep the stars away from Balenciaga's Paris Fashion Week show ... with several A-listers hitting the event in their boldest looks.

Check it out ... Katy Perry leaned into the humid and rainy weather, rocking a wet hair look as she posed in a black ensemble made out a duffel bag and a fanny pack, of sorts. The singer beamed as she stopped for the cameras, throwing up a peace sign before making her way into the show.

Nicole Kidman also got the all-black memo, showing up to the fashion show in a black turtleneck, matching skirt and classic leather pumps. The actress kept her hair and makeup minimal ... likely a style choice inspired by the damp day.
