TikTok star Lexy Burke and her country singer hubby Austin Burke are super shaken after a bullet ripped through their Tennessee home.
Austin tells TMZ ... he was sitting on his couch Sunday night while Lexy was upstairs taking a bath when they both heard gunshots ... and then they felt their house rattle.
He says they checked their surveillance cameras and heard a gun being loaded, cocked, and fired. He called police, who came and quickly discovered a bullet hole in the home's exterior.
TMZ obtained a photo of the bullet hole ... as well as home security footage in which you hear the gun discharge. You can't see who fired the shot in the video.
Police in Nashville tell TMZ ... officers responded to the couple's home over the weekend for a shots fired report. We're told no arrests have been made and the case remains under investigation.
Austin tells us it's "incredibly unsettling" knowing someone fired a gun at their home in the middle of the night with his pregnant wife inside. He has no idea who did it.

Sandra Bullock Cared For Boyfriend Bryan Randall To The End ... Receives Praise From Sister
Sandra Bullock is getting major props for taking good care of her longtime boyfriend, Bryan Randall, as he battled ALS to the very end.
Sandra's sister, Gesine Bullock-Prado, posted an emotional message on Instagram, praising the actress for being there during Bryan's private, 3-year battle with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis -- a nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.
Gesine started off by saying she's convinced Bryan is already casting his lure at the best fishing spot in heaven, teaming with salmon.
She then addressed Bryan's ALS fight, pointing out it's a "cruel disease," but "there is some comfort in knowing he had the best of caretakers in my amazing sister (Sandra) and the band of nurses she assembled who helped her look after him in their home."
Bryan died Saturday at 57. His family announced his passing Monday, thanking all the doctors who treated Bryan's health issues.
The model-turned-shutterbug first crossed paths with Sandra in 2015 when she hired him to photograph her son Louis' birthday party. The two soon began dating and came out as a couple later that year.
In 2021, Sandra described Bryan as the love of her life during an appearance on the podcast, "Red Table Talk." But, last year, rumors circulated the pair had hit a rough patch, although it might have been due to Bryan's illness.

Jeremy Allen White Locking Lips with Ashley Moore ... During Divorce from Wife
Jeremy Allen White is just like his character on "The Bear" -- head over heels and crazy in love with a woman who's caught his eye ... only here, she shares his occupation.
The actor was in L.A. Saturday, and very publicly smooching with model/actress Ashley Moore -- going heavy on the PDA, no doubt. Check it out ... the two of them weren't hiding their infatuation for one another, with their lips locking and arms all wrapped up too.
When they weren't laying it on the thick with the affection ... they were either walking side by side, or looking deep into the other's eyes -- with wide smiles as they enjoyed the day.
Of course, this is interesting for a number of reasons -- the biggest being that Jeremy's in the middle of a divorce with his estranged wife Addison Timlin ... with whom he shares children.
Interestingly, he was just hanging out with Addison last weekend ... and there, too, he was showing the love -- giving her a ton of hugs and even a kiss on the head. Some speculated that meant the two of them were getting back together ... obviously not, though.
No word on where Jeremy met Ashley -- there's no shared projects between them that we can see -- but however they crossed paths ... he's very clearly taken with her and then some.
And if you're wondering who the heck she is to begin with -- well, that's fair. She's not really big time (yet), and only has a handful of TV/movie/music video appearances under her belt. She is, however, an up-and-coming model ... and has done campaigns with the best of 'em.
Oh, and she's a total smoke show ... typical beautiful model-type of the L.A. variety, indeed.
Atta boy, JWA ... now we're cooking!

Ryan Gosling Ken Does 'Beach' with the Family ... Amid Big 'Barbie' Milestone
-
Exclusive
- 2.3K shares
Ryan Gosling's still in Ken-mode amid 'Barbie's' continued success -- he took his real-life brood to the sandy shores of Cali ... and was leaning heavily on the matriarchy, it seems.
The actor hit up a beach near Santa Barbara Friday, and the whole Gosling household was in tow -- including his partner, Eva Mendes, and their 2 daughters. There were other adults tagging along, however ... including what appears to be somebody's mother or grandmother.
Eyewitnesses tell us Ryan was actually very focused on this older woman, helping her get through the sand in her walker ... and carefully assisting her down to the actual water.
Again, we're not sure who this woman was exactly -- but it could very well be Eva's mother, Eva Perez Suarez, who's been in ailing health of late ... according to her own daughter, anyway. We know Eva is incredibly close with her family, and also values privacy.
As for the other 2 adults ... no idea, but they were certainly rolling with Eva and Ryan, and keeping a watchful eye over the kids. Speaking of the two girls ... we're told they had paddleboards with them. And with Mama and Papa Bear -- they chatted, but no PDA.
Anyhoo, this really is an example of life imitating art. If you haven't seen 'Barbie' yet ... there's a running joke about Ken (played by RG) and his job, described as just "beach."
Seems like Ryan took that theme right off the script and manifested it in the real world -- only here, he's much more reverent of the women in his life ... unlike his onscreen character.
BTW, 'Barbie' is expected to cross the billion-dollar mark at the worldwide box office this weekend -- not to mention three-peating as the #1 movie folks are flocking to see. The crazy thing is ... there's no sequel in the works just yet, which is unheard of in this day and age.
Interestingly, Ryan and Margot Robbie didn't sign a deal for movie #2 in their OG contracts with Warner Bros. -- so if they do agree to do it at this point, they're in for a fat payday.
It would appear the people can't get Ken-ough, and are itching for more pink.

Conor was also spotted rushing out of a funeral in Ireland last month ... although details surrounding the incident remain unclear.
The McGregors don't seem to be too worried about any of that ... as they looked happier than ever during their trip.

Tom Sandoval Snuck Pics of Rachel Onto 'Special Forces' Set
Tom Sandoval smuggled some contraband into the production of "Special Forces," according to Nick Viall ... but it wasn't snacks or booze -- it allegedly was photos of Rachel Leviss.
The "Bachelor" alum spilled the tea on Thursday's episode of his podcast, "The Viall Files" ... saying Tom, his fellow cast member on the upcoming season of the competition series, brought pics of him and Rachel onto set -- which Nick says was against the rules.
Nick told his guest, Sai De Silva, that there were certain things they couldn't bring during the rigorous training process, adding he would've loved to have brought photos of his fiancée Natalie Joy, but he couldn't.
What's more bizarre, Nick claims Tom was showing the pics of him and Rachel around to the rest of the cast. Nick notes the "Vanderpump Rules" star seemed to really care about Rachel, for what it's worth.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
TMZ broke the story about Tom and Rachel's affair in March, and we learned in June that he missed the beginning of filming for 'VPR's new season because he was shooting the FOX series in New Zealand.
In other words, folks on the show had plenty of time to know about his affair drama ... but Tom still showed off the pics like a badge of honor, according to Nick.
Season 2 of "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" begins airing at the end of September ... Tom and Nick are up against folks like Blac Chyna, Tara Reid, and Jojo Siwa.

Crew is currently in the NICU with an undisclosed health complication, but Jena explained things are going in the right direction ... as he is off oxygen, breathing on his own and "meeting tiny milestones every day!"

A couple of big Taylor Swift fans are out lots of loot and a great show ... showing up at the venue a day after the concert went down!!!
Bear Silber tells TMZ ... he snagged a pair of tickets for him and his wife months ago for what he thought was Taylor's show this past Saturday in Santa Clara, CA.
He paid $500 for the tickets, and coughed up $60 for parking. They arrived at Levi's Stadium with unbridled excitement, got through a security checkpoint and presented their tickets.
Taylor Swift Gave Out Over $50 Million in Bonuses to 'Eras' Tour Crew
Imagine their shock when the tickets were scanned and they were told their tickets were for Friday night, not Saturday.
To say they were crestfallen is an understatement. As for who screwed up, well, Bear says he slept on the sofa Saturday night.
There is a happy ending to this story. Bear somehow snagged a second set of tickets for Taylor's show in Inglewood this coming Saturday. He has to work so he's not going, but his wife and her friend will be there. Those 2 tickets set him back $2,600. Oh, they live in Oakland so the flight will put him back another $600.
BTW, he says he triple-checked the dates for the new tickets ... a 4th time wouldn't hurt, Bear!

Britney Spears' ex-husband, Jason Alexander, is in police custody for stalking ... TMZ has learned.
According to online records, Alexander's being held in a Tennessee jail. He was booked around 10:30 Wednesday morning ... and is currently being held on $50K bond. Unclear when he's due in court.
Of course, it's not the first time Jason -- who was married to Britney for just 55 hours in 2004 after a Vegas ceremony -- has been in trouble with the law.
TMZ broke the story, Jason busted into Britney Spears' home on her wedding day back in June 2022 repeatedly saying he needed to talk to Britney, despite the fact he wasn't even on her wedding guest list.
Alexander made it as far as Britney's bedroom door, cops say he was armed with a knife, but thankfully never came face-to-face with Britney. He was eventually pinned down outside the home by employees setting up for the wedding until cops arrived and took him into custody.
Britney got a 3-year restraining order against Jason for the incident, and he was hit with a slew of charges including felony stalking, vandalism, and trespassing battery.
He pleaded no contest to aggravated trespass and battery, both misdemeanors, and two charges were dismissed -- felony stalking and misdemeanor vandalism. Jason was sentenced to 128 days in jail for the wedding fiasco.
Only a few months after the wedding day drama, Jason was arrested on a warrant issued in 2016 for an alleged jewelry theft ... so his legal issues continue to pile up.

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Reese and Jim Toth both signed a marital dissolution agreement ... and the exes also signed off on a parenting plan for their 10-year-old son.

For Reese, this shuts the book on her second divorce ... she previously divorced Ryan Phillippe after a 9-year marriage.

Mark Zuckerberg Wife Ticked Over Backyard Octagon ... 'Been Working On That Grass For Two Years!!!'
Mark Zuckerberg's preparation for a potential fight with Elon Musk might just relegate him to sleeping on the couch ... because the billionaire revealed Wednesday his decision to build an Octagon at his home has really ticked off his wife.
Zuck got the fighting arena installed in his backyard this week ... and when he pointed it out to his significant other, Priscilla Chan, he appeared to think she'd be stoked about him being able to now grapple just a few feet from his living room.
"It looks awesome," he said over text to Chan ... adding, "We have plenty of yard space!" when he noticed she wasn't exactly thrilled over it.
That's when, however, she dropped a bomb on him ... saying, "I have been working on that grass for two years."
Seems Zuck knows he now needs to at least consider getting rid of his new training toy ... because he posted a poll asking his followers whether he should "Keep the octagon" or "Save the grass."
For now, the masses believe he should say bye-bye to the sod ... 'cause, after all, dude might be fighting Musk in just a matter of months.
Then again -- happy wife, happy life ... right, Mark?!

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his wife, Sophie, are waving the white flag -- sans maple leaf -- putting an end to 18 years of marriage.
The now estranged first couple posted joint statements Wednesday, saying, "After many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate."
They add, "We remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build."
According to a statement from Justin's office, given to CBC, they've already "signed a legal separation agreement." His office added the family is going on vacation starting next week, and despite the split, they will still all be together on the trip.
Justin and Sophie tied the knot way back in 2005 and have 3 kids together -- 14-year-old Ella-Grace, 9-year-old Hadrien, and 15-year-old Xavier. Sophie's been an advocate for things like gender equality and mental health over the years while her husband's been in politics.
