A new Netflix doc has made people believe that TikTok star Miranda Derrick is in a cult -- but she's calling BS ... and putting out a totally different narrative, suggesting she's just fine.

Miranda hopped online Tuesday to clap back at claims made in 'Dancing for the Devil' -- which characterizes her and others involved with 7M Films as brainwashed sheep that are beholden to an alleged cult leader ... but Miranda says that's simply not the case.

In a short clip on her IG Story Tuesday, Miranda first thanked everyone for their support since the 3-part doc dropped last week ... and then teased a lengthy written statement in the following slides, saying she couldn't spill all the tea due to legal reasons.

Alec Baldwin is about to head to reality TV -- this while he's also about to head to court and face manslaughter charges, which could land him in prison ... talk about bizarre timing, huh?

The actor and his family -- including wife Hilaria Baldwin and their 7 children -- are starring in a new series called "The Baldwins" that'll be airing on TLC sometime in 2025 ... something they all just announced together with a splashy new promo and sizzle reel.

The clip that Alec and Hilaria (and TLC) posted together shows a snapshot of their family life -- which looks sweet, fun and goofy ... and they play it up with a ton of humor and charm.

Jayla Allen -- the daughter of Dallas Cowboys legend Larry Allen -- said in a social media post Monday night she's stunned over her dad's death ... writing in an emotional message, "I feel like this is a nightmare and I can't [wake] up."

Larry -- a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the greatest interior offensive linemen the NFL's ever seen -- died on Sunday while on vacation in Mexico ... and his daughter seemed to indicate he had shown no signs of being in poor health prior to the tragedy.

Jayla said Larry's death left her "in complete shock," and now, she's not quite sure how she's going to pick up the pieces he left behind.

Sean Kingston has officially been booked in the Broward County jail ... more than a week after his South Florida home was raided by cops.

Pat Sajak is already eyeing his next role ahead of his "Wheel of Fortune" exit ... telling his daughter, Maggie, he's ready to be a grandpa.

The longtime game show host sat down with his daughter days before his exit from the game show, explaining why he's ready to say goodbye to 'WoF.' As Pat put it ... he wanted to leave on the earlier side, instead of overstaying his welcome.

After more than 40 years and over 8,000 episodes, Pat says he's at peace with his decision ... and like we said, he gave a wink and a nod to his daughter about kids.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are keeping a little breathing room between them ... quite literally it seems, 'cause they're opting for air kisses over real smooches in public!

The couple -- who have been through the wringer in recent weeks -- stepped out with Ben's mom Chris in Santa Monica Sunday but avoided any lip contact whatsoever.

We're not just talking mouth-to-mouth either ... 'cause they straight up avoided pecks on the cheek too -- choosing instead to go with the classic socialite air smack.

Pat Sajak is about to hang it up after what may be the longest tenure on any show in TV history -- 43 years as host of "Wheel of Fortune," and he did something special for his fans.

The one-time local weatherman is showing folks what it looks like behind the scenes at "Wheel," and it's pretty awesome.

Pat revealed what's behind the puzzle board, where Vanna White has performed her duties for decades.

Look out, future athletes -- WNBA star Brittney Griner says her baby on the way will 100% be involved in sports ... telling TMZ Sports it's a no-brainer!!

Sofia Vergara's all about cutting down on waste ... revealing she's repurposing a tattoo for her ex-husband Joe Manganiello as a tribute to her current boyfriend!

The actress joined "The Talk" earlier this week with her son Manolo when the topic of tats came up -- and, her kid reveals he's got more than 30 different tattoos covering his body.

Vergara cracks jokes at her boy's expense -- calling him out for covering the "beautiful Latin skin" she gave him. So, Manolo fires back ... pointing out his mom's a hypocrite 'cause she's got ink too.

Jennifer Lopez looks like she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders lately with all the drama in her life -- and we have the pics to prove it.

J Lo shared a somber look as she rolled up in a white car to Mihran K. Studios in Burbank on Friday. The singer/actress got out of the vehicle and greeted her team nearby, hugging one of the women before they all went inside the dance studio.

Seems like J Lo needed a little love and support from her peeps as she navigates through this rough patch in her life.  But the positive vibes didn't last ... As J Lo later exited the studio, she was photographed looking down sadly at her cell phone before she climbed inside her car, which drove her away.

Maya Hawke says she's cool with nepo baby casting ... admitting tons of deserving actors don't get to live their dreams like her -- but, it wouldn't help anyone to turn them down.

The actress reflected on her famous family connections in an interview with the Times of London, published Friday ... saying she's not sure if she deserves a leg-up in auditions -- but, she's fine with using it to her advantage.

Maya says, "There are so many people who deserve to have this kind of life who don’t, but I think I’m comfortable with not deserving it and doing it anyway. And I know that my not doing it wouldn’t help anyone."

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez continue to put on a united front -- now holding hands in public again ... but things still appear really tense in their relationship, at least at first glance.

Check it out ... Ben and Jen were seen showing a little PDA Thursday while leaving Ben's daughter Violet's high school graduation ceremony in L.A. However, the duo looks very uncomfortable ... or at least they do in a few of these shots, which look uncomfortable.

As you can see ... Jen was looking at Ben with a serious expression at one point -- and, if a picture's worth a thousand words, this one certainly seems to spell out an essay.

Michelle Obama's mother, Marian Robinson, has died ... this according to the former First Lady.

The family broke the news together Friday, saying Marian passed away Friday morning -- with them adding ... "She passed peacefully this morning, and right now, none of us are quite sure how exactly we’ll move on without her."

The hip-hop mogul's brood hit the town Thursday night on the heels of his teenage daughter Chance's ceremony where she walked the stage as a high school grad -- and while Papa Bear himself wasn't there ... you could argue he was with them in spirit.

Justin and Christian "King" Combs were among the kiddos who hit Mr. Chow after graduation -- as you can see ... they weren't hiding or shying away from anything. In fact, they looked happy.
