One of the most successful realtors in the country is scooping up some new digs ... a Malibu estate with a wealth of Hollywood connections.

Our real estate sources tell us Kurt Rappaport just closed on a beachfront property smack in the middle of the 'Bu for $22.5 million ... a home once owned by Lee Majors and Farrah Fawcett.

The place is 4,500 square feet with 5 bedrooms and sweeping views of the coastline ... plus it's in the thick of the deepest, sandiest beach in all of Malibu. In other words, prime real estate.

American actor Sean Patrick Thomas was 30 years old when he landed the role of Derek -- who grew up in the rough part of Chicago and falls in love with the new girl at school, Sara -- in the 2001 romance/dance film "Save The Last Dance."

Sean shared the big screen with Julia Stiles as the transfer student and ballerina who moves in with her absent father after her mom's tragic death, Sara, and Kerry Washington as the teen mom navigating her on-again-off-again relationship and Derek's supportive sister.

"You can do it put your back into it!"

Beyoncé getting no love from the Country Music Association does not come as a huge shock to her father Mathew Knowles ... and he thinks race is a factor here.

Bey's dad tells TMZ … he's not surprised his daughter received zero CMA nominations for her "Cowboy Carter" country album, given her history with the awards show.

Mathew says Beyoncé didn't have a good experience performing with the Dixie Chicks at the 2016 CMA Awards -- her inclusion didn't go over so well -- and he says the CMAs never apologized to Bey.

Phaedra Parks is ready for Kim Zolciak to pick her peach back up ... telling TMZ she'd be ecstatic if "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" alum rejoined the fold.

However, Phaedra made it clear she still has 'RHOA' on the brain ... as she's set to make her grand return to the reality show for its 16th season.

PP isn't the only 'RHOA' alum angling for a comeback ... KZ noted earlier in the summer that she'd be open to returning to the 'Housewives' franchise now that vets Phaedra and Porsha Williams are filming again.

Jaime criticized Mike for betraying fans’ trust by hiring Emily ... adding in a lengthy IG post Monday he had "quietly erased my father's life and legacy in real time … during international suicide prevention month." Chester died by suicide in 2017.

Jaime didn’t hold back ... diving into Emily’s alleged ties to Scientology and her support for Danny Masterson. This all came to light following The Mars Volta’s Cedric Bixler-Zavala's resurfaced messages Emily had attended a 2020 preliminary hearing in support of Masterson, which hit fans hard ... especially since Chester had openly discussed surviving sexual abuse.

5:00 PM PT -- Tyrese was released from custody Monday after his attorney Tanya Mitchell Graham filed an appeal of the judge's ruling ... according to law enforcement sources.

We're told the appeal means Tyrese did not have to pay the $73K before he was released. That does not mean he no longer owes the back child support, it's just delayed, for now. It's the same legal maneuver Tyrese and his attorney made last year when the judge ordered him to pay up the child support.

The singer/actor -- and dad to 5-year-old Soraya with ex-wife Samantha Lee -- was in Fulton County court Monday morning to face the judge in the ongoing child support battle, and the hearing did NOT go well for Tyrese.

Judge Kevin Farmer was clearly fed up with Tyrese's refusal to pay the $10K/month Farmer ordered him to start paying way back in April 2023 -- so, today he held Tyrese in contempt of court, the bailiff put him in handcuffs and marched him out of the courtroom.

Jack White is following through on his warning to Donald Trump ... by filing a lawsuit over his famous song, and claiming his anthem is being hijacked by the former president.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Jack says he did not clear the song for use by the Trump campaign ... and he says Trump and his camp should have known better, because in the past Jack has publicly denounced Trump.

In the suit, Doe -- described as a single mother and a young professional -- says she met Watson at a bar in Houston while he was a member of the Texans ... and after exchanging text messages for several months, she says he invited her out.
