Kayvon Thibodeaux just made the biggest highlight play of the offseason -- he just bought his mom a new house ... and her reaction is priceless!!
The 2022 first-round pick to the New York Giants posted a video to his YouTube channel on Monday ... showing off the new crib he gifted his mom. In the clip, Thibodeaux explained why the purchase meant so much to him.
"When I was in high school, I had to live with another family," Thibodeaux said in the video. "After that, I went to college ... Five years of my life I never had dinner with my mom. We never sat at a table with my family, we never had a place for all the family to get together for Christmas and for holidays when the time came. Now being able to provide that is a blessing."
The pad comes with all the works -- the backyard is decked out with a basketball court, a pool with a waterfall and a nice view of the hills of California.
As you would expect … Thibodeaux's mom, Shawnta Loice, is quite emotional during the reveal, commenting on how nice her new place is and saying what a blessing the past few years have been.
Thibodeaux took to Twitter as well … thanking the Giants for believing in him to make this opportunity possible.
"It started with a dream, turned it into a goal," he said. "Love you Mom, you deserve the world! #assetsoverliabilities Thank you @Giants for believing in me!"
A feel-good moment that tugs at the heartstrings … and we're sure a housewarming party is on the horizon!!

Betty White Longtime L.A. Home Demolished
Betty White's former home in L.A. -- where she'd lived for decades -- is nothing but dust and dirt now ... as the new owners apparently aim to build up a massive mansion in its place.
The late actress's relatively modest Brentwood property -- modest for A-list celebs, that is -- was recently demolished ... and now, photos of the aftermath are surfacing, showing construction crews already hard at work laying the groundwork for something new.
As you can see, her old house -- a roughly 3,000-square-foot structure with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, complete with a pool -- is practically all gone, meaning the folks moving in did, in fact, want to build out from the ground up without a trace of the former estate intact.
Per real estate records, reviewed by TMZ, the buyers ended up being a dentist and his wife ... and it looks like they filed for a permit to bulldoze back in November. In February of this year, they filed more paperwork signaling they're interested in putting in a new pool and spa.
It would also appear they're geared up to get an entirely new main house built as well. Considering what they've already suggested they'll be putting in -- you can bet it's gonna be a lot bigger than what BW was staying in for quite literally decades.
As many know, Betty had lived at this Brentwood address since the '60s ... and her career in Hollywood got fully in swing shortly after that. Her crib was a staple of celeb sight-seeing for tourists visiting town -- but now, they won't be able to get an eyeful of what was once.
Pretty sad, to be honest. But, when you drop upwards of $10 mil for a piece of real estate -- you're entitled to do whatever the hell you want with it ... regardless of its iconic status.
The Golden Girl's castle has crumbled. 😭

Celeb Realtor Kurt Rappaport Ex-Cali Residents Coming Back ... Due to Political Chaos in Southern States

The thousands of Californians who've fled to Tennessee, Florida and Texas are having second thoughts ... and many are, as they say, going back to Cali ... so says L.A. real estate mogul Kurt Rappaport.
Kurt joined us Friday on "TMZ Live" to fill us in on the slow reversal of the west coast exodus -- spurred by things like the loss of abortion rights, the "don't say gay" bill, drag show bans and the reheated battle over gun laws.
The celebrity realtor says most who left pointed to rising taxes and cost of living in CA, but now political moves in their new home states are creating deep regrets.
The school shooting in Nashville sparked protests in Tennessee's state capitol, leading to Thursday's astounding expulsion of 2 state legislators -- a move many see as a death knell for democracy.
Kurt admits the Golden State has its issues -- the high taxes are no joke -- but he adds, it's also a big melting pot of cultures, ideas, ethnicities and opinions ... which you won't find in some parts of the country.
Bottom line ... he says some former Californians are realizing money isn't the only thing to consider when choosing where to put down roots.

William H. Macy Neighbor Files Massive, $600k Lawsuit ... You Slaughtered My Trees and Now I'm a Wreck!!!
William H. Macy has rocked his neighbor's world by massacring his trees ... so much so he's suffering great emotional distress and now the neighbor wants more than half a mil to make things right.
Pierce Brown lives next door to Macy, and while Pierce was on vacay, people who were working on Macy's property butchered trees that were squarely on Brown's land ... this according to a lawsuit filed by Brown.
Mr. Brown says the damage was devastating ... not only has it obliterated his privacy, presumably turning his house into a duck on a platter for all to see, but he says it's compromised the hillside ... a huge problem for folks who live in the hills of Hollywood.
Brown says after he got over the shock, he went and spoke with Macy, who acknowledge the misdeeds of his workers.
As for why Mr. Brown is suing Macy for $600k ... let us count the ways -- damage to the trees, loss of privacy, destabilization of the hillside, loss of property value, loss of use and enjoyment of the property and an increase in noise. But wait, there's more -- emotional distress, irritation, annoyance and discomfort.

Michael Jordan $15 Mil Mansion Burglarized ... 18-Year-Old Arrested
Michael Jordan's $15 million mansion was broken into this week ... and now, an 18-year-old faces several charges, including criminal damage to the property.
Highland Park Police Department responded to a robbery in progress call from neighbors at the 2700 block of Point Lane around 4:10 PM on Tuesday, April 4th, according to Lake & McHenry County Scanner.
The home belongs to the Chicago Bulls legend ... and when police arrived, they found Raiden Hagedorn still inside the 56,000-square-foot home.
Hagedorn was arrested and charged with criminal trespass to an occupied residence and two counts of criminal damage to property -- all misdemeanors.
Thankfully, Jordan was not there at the time of the incident. In fact, MJ hasn't lived at this address since he placed the mansion on the market in 2012.
The property comes with 9 bedrooms, 19 baths, an indoor basketball gymnasium, an infinity pool, a tennis court and a cigar room.
It also has the famous personalized gate with Jordan's #23.
It was also the scene of a recent Travis Scott song featuring Young Thug and M.I.A. called "FRANCHISE." The video was shot on the grounds.
The Jordan estate was initially listed for $29 million but has been dropped to $14,855,000 ... but Michael has still been unable to unload the property.

Pete Davidson's alleged stalker has been deemed unfit to stand trial after cops say the woman trespassed on Pete's property and claimed to be his wife ... TMZ has learned.
The Staten Island District Attorney tells TMZ, "Ms. [Michelle] Mootreddy is unfit to stand trial. She has been placed in the custody of a psychiatric facility where she will receive treatment and regular evaluations to determine whether or not she is able to return and participate in her defense."
TMZ broke the story ... Mootreddy allegedly snuck into Pete's Staten Island home through an open side door a couple years ago. According to law enforcement sources, Pete wasn't home at the time, but a relative was -- and promptly called the cops.
Pete Davidson Gets Protection From Fake Wife, She's Charged with Felonies
Mootreddy was charged with burglary in the second and third degree -- both felonies -- as well as 2 misdemeanor counts of stalking, and 2 misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass and harassment ... but now it looks like she won't stand trial until she receives treatment and is ready to participate in her defense.
FYI -- Mootreddy apparently also sent out a fake press release days before the alleged trespassing, claiming she and Pete tied the knot. The 'SNL' alum got court-ordered protection against Mootreddy after she was arrested, too.

She's also got a 2023 Cadillac Escalade, a 2022 Maybach, and a 2022 Lamborghini Urus Mansory. Altogether, her rides are worth at least an estimated $2.1 mil. And if ya couldn't tell, grey is KK's color of choice when it comes to what she rolls around in.
Looks like she's also getting some landscape work done while she travels -- with some machines moving dirt around the front of her property.
Of course, Kim's 4 kids aren't yet driving age, but she's already got enough hand-me-downs to fit each kid with a vehicle x2!!!

Kris Jenner & Khloe Kardashian Side-By-Side Mansions Ready!!!
Kris Jenner and Khloe Kardashian are one step closer to being next-door neighbors -- because it looks like their swanky side-by-side mansions are practically complete.
Check out the overhead views of this Hidden Hills, CA compounds they've built ... Kris' pad is the dark-colored one, while Khloe is moving into the lighter building.
Interesting to note -- there isn't so much as a white picket fence separating their homes, and they have shared driveway space ... so, privacy is out the window!
Two peas in a pod would be an understatement for the mother-daughter duo.
We've seen this huge plot of land get built up for roughly 2 years now ... as we reported, construction was underway in April of 2021, with nothin' but a bunch of dirt surrounding the future homes.
We were told Khloe got the better end of the housing deal, though ... because hers is 18K square feet, while Kris got the 17K square foot place. Sorry, momager!
Unclear what else has to get done, if anything -- but it looks like moving trucks could be backing in any day now.

Aaron Carter's estate is trying to sell his L.A. County home, and TMZ has learned one important note for potential buyers ... the bathroom where the singer died is undergoing renovations.
Listing agent Christie M. Limpus of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices tells TMZ … Aaron's 4,131 square foot house in Lancaster, CA is back on the market, this time for just under $850K.
Aaron listed the home last year, about 1 month before his death, for $779,900 ... and it was put back up for sale last week.
The money made on the house will go to Aaron's estate, and into a trust for his 1-year-old son, Prince.
The 7-bedroom, 4-bath house will come with a full remodel of the bathroom where the late singer's housekeeper found him dead last November. We're told the place is still being shown during the renovations.
Christie says 5 prospective buyers have already toured the house since it came back on the market, and she believes it'll go into escrow very soon for the asking price.
TMZ broke the story ... Aaron bought the house back in 2019 for $430K -- sharing his excitement online about owning the place. He clearly had some work done on it since then, adding a few extra bedrooms and a far bigger pool out back.

'Grey's Anatomy' Caterina Scorsone House Burned to The Ground ... Family Pets Died Inside
"Grey's Anatomy" star Caterina Scorsone and her family are reeling after her house burned down ... and while her family made it out alive, the actor's pets did not.
Caterina shared the devastating news Monday, saying, "A couple of months ago my house burned down. While getting my kids ready for bed and finishing bath time, smoke began to seep up through the grout around the tub."
Caterina says by the time she looked down the hallway, she could already see a river of thick black smoke filling the house ... and she knew she had to act fast.
She continues, "I had about two minutes to get my three kids out of the house, and we escaped with less than shoes on our feet. But we got out. And for that I am eternally grateful. Heartbreakingly, we lost all four of our pets. We are still sitting with that loss, but we are lucky we got to love them at all."
In the post, Caterina took the time to thank those who showed up during a time of need. She says, "This is not a post about a fire. This is a post about community" before listing off some folks who made the whole process easier -- including her team, the firefighters, investigators, parents at her kids’ school, her neighbor and sister.
CS ended the post by saying the photos were to honor the space she once called home and say goodbye to the animals that loved her family so well ... "and to celebrate that we have the only thing we ever really needed: each other."

Rihanna Struggles Juggling Workout, Baby Boy ... Adorable Home Video
Rihanna's learning motherhood is all about multitasking -- something her son reminded her of as she tried squeezing in a workout, with him riding the human equivalent of shotgun.
The singer posted a sweet home video of her at the crib with the kid -- whose name we still don't know ... but whose face we're certainly getting familiar with as time goes on. The 10-month-old was being held by his mama, and it looks like he was a little fussy in her arms.
In the video, you see her boy squirming about as Rihanna cradles him -- but, before long, she's got him distracted with what sounds like a family-friendly TV show of some sort. That seems to have done the trick ... judging by his big smile and cute cooing.
You can also see Rihanna's growing baby bump here as well ... where she's carrying her second child with A$AP Rocky. Just like we saw at the SB, it's pretty noticeable -- although it's hard to say just how far along she might be at this point. Looks like she's in the second trimester.
Gotta hand it to Rihanna ... she seems to be quite the hands-on mother ... even amid her pregnancy. Her son's been tagging along with her wherever she goes these days -- including for an overnight photo shoot she recently did, where Baby Fenty was asleep on mama bear.
Ever since we saw the kid's face in full view in December ... she's been showing off her little man a lot more on social media, and the kid's absolutely adorable. No exception here either.
Mom life's a juggling act, no doubt ... but RiRi's proving she can do it all!

'Vanderpump Rules' Tom, Ariana Still Sharing Home ... Despite Affair With Raquel

Exclusive
- 540 shares
"Vanderpump Rules" stars Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix are living under the same roof ... despite the fact everyone knows they broke up after she found out Tom cheated on her with Raquel Leviss.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Tom and Ariana are continuing to live in their Valley Village home when they're in town, though they're no longer sleeping in the same room obviously.
It's not going to be an easy split ... Tom and Ariana each own 50 percent of the home, according to property records, and we're told they have not sat down to talk about what they'll do with it.
It's kinda cringeworthy ... they are sometimes still in the house at the same time. With the palpable anger, it's gotta be rough.
While it sounds like a pretty awkward setup, Tom and Ariana aren't always in town at the same time ... our sources say she's up in Seattle filming a Lifetime movie for the next few days ... and we first reported, Tom took a Southwest flight home this week to visit family in St. Louis.
The home is 4,453 square feet with 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms ... so there's enough space to create a buffer zone of sorts. Think "The War of the Roses."
Raquel stopped by the pad this week ... but we were told she didn't spend the night and was just saying bye to Tom before he took off for his hometown. Kinda weird, right?
Tom and Ariana bought the place back in 2019 for $2,075,000. If they sell, it'll be interesting if they disclose all the drama to prospective buyers.

'Vanderpump Rules' Raquel Hanging at Tom & Ariana's Home

9:50 AM PT -- Tom Sandoval's rep tells TMZ ... "Raquel did not spend the night at Tom and Ariana’s house. She stopped by the house Wednesday afternoon for about a half hour to say goodbye to Tom before he left town."
Raquel Leviss is still spending quality time with Tom Sandoval, and they're cozy enough to be hanging together in the very home where Tom lives with Ariana Madix for years.
The "Vanderpump Rules" villainess -- to most fans -- was outside Tom and Ariana's place tossing a bag into the trunk of her car Wednesday around 4 PM.
Here's the thing ... Raquel was wearing some very comfy clothes and slides as she made her exit.
As for Tom's location, well he left his home about half an hour after Raquel ... on his way to catch a flight outta town.
Sandoval made his way to LAX around 7 PM, catching a Southwest flight to his hometown of St. Louis. He was flying solo, so apparently, he's not ready to bring Raquel home to meet the fam.
Photogs brought up the elephant in the room at the airport -- as well as a couple more Qs, but the guy wasn't in the mood to chat, instead makin' a beeline to check his bag.
However, the fact he and Raquel are close enough to kick it where he lived with his ex is pretty telling about how close they remain, now that the 'Scandoval' dust is settling.
As we reported, Raquel was a no-show in court Wednesday for the hearing over her restraining order against Scheana Shay. She'd alleged Scheana attacked her over the affair ... but since she skipped court, the restraining order was dismissed.
Now we know what, or who, was more important than court for Raquel.
