Padma Lakshmi is steering her daughter Krishna away from the runway -- in fact ... it sounds like she's outright discouraging her from following in her footsteps as a model.

We caught up with Padma at LAX Wednesday ... and she tells us that although she had to model to pay off student loans back in the day, her 14-year-old clearly isn't in the same financial situation she was in -- and doesn't have to go down that path.

Watch ... PL tells us she's already batting away modeling offers for her kid -- making it clear ... if Krishna ends up on a magazine cover, it'll be for her talent, not just her looks!

Miley Cyrus' complicated relationship with her dad Billy Ray was on full display in her recent sit down with David Letterman ... as she took subtle shots at the Cyrus patriarch.

The singer discussed her family dynamic on the latest episode of Netflix's 'My Next Guest Needs No Introduction' -- where she noted the good and bad traits she got from her pops ... and she didn't hold back on what she considers the ugly side of herself (and BRC).

While Miley credited Billy Ray for her perspective on life, she also blamed him for her "narcissism" -- citing her selfishness in childhood as an example.

Rebel Wilson hasn't met her fiancée Ramona Agruma's parents yet -- and she's chalking it up to cultural differences with the LGBTQ+ community.

The Aussie actress opened up to Today.com about Ramona's European upbringing ... mentioning she was born in Latvia, which she explained wasn't as Pride-friendly as some other countries.

Rebel had no qualms about the differences. In fact, she was incredibly understanding, noting some people simply need a bit more time to accept same-sex relationships -- which appears to be the case with Ramona's parents.

Logan Paul is finally settling the debate on who would win in a Paul vs. Paul super fight with Jake ... admitting he's no match for his younger brother.

The WWE Superstar confessed his hypothetical demise during a lie detector test with his boxing superstar sib on Wednesday ... when Jake asked straight-up if Logan thinks he would come out on top if they faced off in the boxing ring.

Logan was surprisingly quick to respond ... uttering a simple "no" in response.

11:04 AM PT -- TMZ has obtained Billy Ray Cyrus' docs -- and he lists their date of separation as May 22, 2024. In terms of why he filed for divorce, BRC is citing irreconcilable differences ... as well as "inappropriate marital conduct."

Billy is also asking the court to grant him an outright annulment, claiming the marriage was obtained by fraud. It also looks like Billy gave Firerose a deadline of May 24 to get the hell out of the house ... while also initially putting up $500/night over a period of ten days for temporary housing.

After that ... the docs say Billy will pay Firerose $5,000/month for her to obtain suitable housing in Tennessee for a period of 90 days, or until the divorce is finalized -- whichever occurs first. He's gotta pay her the $5k on the first of each month.

Great news on BJ Thompson ... the Chiefs defensive lineman was released from the hospital days after going into cardiac arrest at a team meeting!

Thompson's agent Chris Turnage confirmed to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero that the 25-year-old was discharged from the Kansas City, Missouri hospital on Tuesday ... and his loved ones are very grateful for the love they were shown.

"The family thanks everyone for their prayers and wants to especially thank the Chiefs medical and training staff for their rapid response and professionalism throughout this situation," Turnage said.

Miranda Derrick says the new Netflix doc that makes it look like she's in a cult is causing her a bunch of problems -- namely, death threats ... and she is laying some of the blame at her family's feet.

The TikTok star hopped on social media Monday and posted a video, claiming folks are sending her all sorts of nasty comments ... including threats of physical violence. She says things are to the point where she doesn't feel safe.

'Dancing For The Devil' is the popular new Netflix doc taking a look at Miranda, characterizing her and others involved with 7M Films as brainwashed sheep beholden to an alleged cult leader, Dr. Robert Shinn.

3:23 PM PT -- 50 Cent weighed in on our post and downplayed notions of S.A. in favor of an "aggressive advance" and denied Michael Rainey Jr. would press charges. We'll have to see if he's officially speaking for his young star.

12:47 PM PT -- Michael Rainey Jr. has broken his silence following the incident ... he's still in shock and calls the groping an "unfortunate situation." It's uncertain what the next steps will be.

Michael Rainey Jr., the star of 50 Cent's hit show "Power Book II: Ghost," got more than he bargained for during a promo stop ... an unwanted five-finger death grip on his family jewels!!!

Mike appeared Sunday night on "The Tylil Show" -- an independent Twitch channel hosted by podcaster Tylil James in NYC. Think a Kai Cenat kinda thing ... just without Kai Cenat.

Jason Momoa's got one musically gifted family ... bringing his kids onstage with him during his band's Hollywood show in footage obtained by TMZ.

The actor took the Sunset Room Hollywood stage -- a venue just off the Hollywood Walk of Fame in L.A. -- with his group ÖOF TATATÁ ... and check out the vid, 'cause he also shares a pretty great moment with his kiddos.

The video starts with JM playing on his own before transitioning to a shot of him face-to-face with his son -- 15-year-old Nakoa-Wolf -- strumming on a guitar.

Late YouTube star Twomad died without a will -- not shocking considering how young he was -- but now his mom is taking steps to control his estate, which was worth a couple hundred thousand dollars.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the internet personality had $200,000 worth of cash and personal property back in February when he died.

Twomad -- whose real name was Muudea Sedik -- was only 23 years old, and he didn't have a spouse or any kids, so his mom, Feyruza Mohammed, has filed docs to become the administrator of his estate.

Billy Ray Cyrus is wearing his achy breaky heart on his sleeve, penning an unexpected tribute to his daughter Miley Cyrus -- a shock to fans because of all the buzz they're currently estranged.

The country singer took to Instagram Friday, where he shared a sweet throwback photo of himself and Miley ... revealing in the caption the pic is from an old CMA Fest appearance.

He wrote ... "One of my best memories ever: @cma Fest, back when it was Fan Fair. That's @mileycyrus and me, surrounded by thousands of incredible fans at the fairgrounds. The next day, someone handed me this picture, and I wrote that poem right then on the bus."

Nick Cannon's putting his family jewels first ... taking out an insurance policy on his well-tested testes, which he's valuing at a whopping 8 figures!!!

Talk about money well spent -- remember, Nick's golden gonads have already spawned 12 kids with 6 different women, so it should come as no surprise he just launched a new collab with Dr. Squatch's Ball Valuation Tool.

Even less shocking, the men's care company assessed Nick's population-boosting balls at $10 million!

Denver Nuggets star Aaron Gordon's latest addition to his body art collection is a truly special piece -- dedicating part of his chest to his late brother, Drew, who tragically died in a car accident last week.

Gordon debuted the ink in an Instagram post on Thursday ... his first public appearance since it was announced Drew passed away at just 33 years old.

The new tat is a screaming gorilla on his pec ... with Drew's initials featured in the lower left corner.

Deontay Wilder's fiancée, Telli Swift, just got a temporary restraining order against the star boxer ... after she claimed he abused her on multiple occasions over the last six years.

Swift, who began dating Wilder in 2015, applied for the TRO in Los Angeles late last week ... and on Monday -- two days after Wilder was knocked out in a high-profile match with Zhilei Zhang -- a judge granted it.

In her application for the order, Swift accused Wilder of choking her "at least five times" since 2018. She also stated the 38-year-old heavyweight spit on her several other times ... and claimed he once shoved her face in a pillow in a fit of rage for so long, she "nearly suffocated."

3:45 PM PT -- Ryan Garcia seems to be doing well on Thursday -- considering what he went through the night before -- popping up on Rodeo Drive with his brother, Sean.

No word on how much time he spent in Beverly Hills -- or if he ended up buying anything -- but it's a good sign to see him out and about.

Ryan Garcia was checked out by cops at a fancy hotel in Los Angeles Wednesday night ... when a family member called authorities after they became concerned for the star boxer's well-being, TMZ Sports has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us officers responded to the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills for a welfare check in the early evening after the 25-year-old's fam called police. It's unclear exactly what led to the call being made.

Our sources say cops spoke to Ryan at the hotel and determined that he was okay and was not a harm to himself or others, and being no crime was committed, everyone went on their way.

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt appears to be following in her older sister's footsteps -- dropping her pop's last name professionally in a Broadway playbill, something she reportedly asked to have changed.

The 15-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is currently working as a producer's assistant for the Broadway show 'The Outsiders' -- and, of course, she gets a credit in the playbill ... except it's written as "Vivienne Jolie," nothing more.

ET cites a source who claims the change isn't due to a lack of space ... instead, VJP apparently asked to leave "Pitt" off -- another of Brad's kids seemingly sending a message.
