She invited Dr. Jacob Unger -- a plastic surgeon in Nashville -- to chat for an episode of her "Let's Be Honest" podcast, and during the convo, she admitted having a breast lift and breast implants.

Kristin let the info slip after asking the doc if he ever has to turn people's requests down ... and, he revealed it's a common problem with some wanting a similar treatment to a friend without regard for differing body types.

Kevin Costner says he's not dating Jewel -- even though we have photos and sources telling us otherwise.

The actor went on 'Howard Stern' this week, and addressed rumors that he was with Jewel -- something we were told was the case dating back to December ... when they spent quality time together on Richard Branson's Necker Island.

According to him ... they aren't an item and are just friends -- although he does call her beautiful and a helluva catch.

Looks like what happens in Vegas didn't quite stay there for Howie Mandel ... who spilled the beans on his wife's wild night out and the gruesome facial injury that followed.

Howie recounted this wild story Monday on "Live with Mark and Kelly" -- where he was chatting up the hosts and telling them about his wife Terry taking a tumble in their hotel room during a recent trip to Vegas.

Watch ... Howie says Terry ended up falling and smacking her face -- which resulted in her skull being exposed and blood pooling around her -- and he showed off photos of her injury.

Ashley Benson's not here for the weight loss drug rumors anymore -- she's hitting back hard, crediting her post-baby bod to a good old-fashioned gym grind.

It all kicked off when a fan commented, "How was she JUST pregnant?!?" on an IG snap of Ashley, who gave birth in February, rocking a black tank top and gray sweatpants. Another user responded to the fan's question by posting an Ozempic ad.

Ashley shared a screenshot of that exchange to her IG Stories Monday, and dismissed the Ozempic remark as hilarious ... 'cause it undermined her gym hustle.

TMZ has a new documentary on Hulu -- 'JLo & Ben: Missed Warning Signs' -- in which Dr. Phil, Dr. Drew, Psychotherapist Dr. Jenn Mann and others say there are lots of reasons this relationship just didn't work.

Kevin Costner says the door is still open for him to gallop his way back into his lead role in "Yellowstone" -- but with some conditions ... including having a plot that's ready to shoot.

The actor made it clear on "TODAY" Monday that he loved his hit show from day one, and still does ... so he'd definitely re-open the window for Paramount's Western epic -- but he notes ... without scripts all ready to go, it might be difficult to do that.

Kevin says script delays pissed him off to the point that he felt he needed to leave the show -- noting they lost a full year without anything to show for it ... and that's a no-no for him.

Grab those toolkits and ties, people ... it's Father's Day once again -- and, Hollywood knows how to highlight its dads, the famous ones and the ones who helped raise a future celeb.

Alan Cumming takes great Pride in his 'X-Men' movie "X2" ... quite literally 'cause the actor's claiming it's the gayest movie he's ever made!

The actor -- who now hosts the hit reality competition show "The Traitors" -- sat down for an interview with Entertainment Weekly recently where he reflected on his diverse career including his appearance in the 2003 follow-up to "X-Men."

If you haven't seen the movie, Cumming plays Nightcrawler -- a bright blue mutant with the ability to teleport in the flick. Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Patrick Stewart and James Marsden star in the movie and, by all appearances, the film's a pretty standard comic book film.

The Angel Reese/Caitlin Clark rivalry's alive and well ... 'cause Angel just committed a hard foul while Clark was going up for a layup -- smacking her in the side of the head.

The foul occurred just moments ago ... with Clark's Indiana Fever up 63-62 over the Chicago Sky in the third quarter. Check out the clip -- Clark's heading to the hoop when she's taken down by Reese, landing on the hardwood.

While at first, it seems like just a tough foul, the referees call for a break in the action to review the blow ... and, another camera angle shows fans exactly why.

Armie Hammer's reflecting on viral cannibalism claims upending his life ... laughing at how ridiculous they are before adding he's "grateful" for everything he's experienced.
