Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez didn’t exactly kick things off with a fairy tale -- 'cause the couple went public in 2019 after rumors swirled about an affair ...

Then, boom ... Jeff signed off on a $38-billion divorce like it was next-day delivery, and a few months later, Lauren ditched her Hollywood hubby Patrick Whitesell -- and by Wimbledon that same year, the lovebirds were playing doubles with flirty giggles and loving stares.

By 2022, Jeff was smacking her butt like it owed him money, and by the next year, he dropped a giant rock on her finger -- prime commitment!

Jack Betts, best recognized for his role in "Spider-Man" has died.

He died in his sleep Thursday at his Los Osos, California home, his nephew, Dean Sullivan, told The Hollywood Reporter. It is not known if he was suffering from any health concerns when he died.

The Miami-born star studied theater at the University of Miami and first found success on Broadway, landing a role in the 1953 adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Richard III," which starred José Ferrer.

Father's Day should radically change ... it should be a celebration of the men who populate our world rather than to dismiss them as lame and useless ... so says Bill Maher.

The fatherless host of "Real Time" brings receipts ... a slew of TV shows and movies that lambast dads for being men -- men, who are treated with contempt and ridicule, and not just by women but by their own kind!

Bill meanders down a laundry list of things that were invented by men, including the all-important toilet. Seriously, the things he mentions have changed and improved our lives.

The prosecution is close to resting in the Diddy trial, and it's possible a verdict could go down next week, and how about Karen Read! So we gotta ask ...

Riley Gaines and Simone Biles ... working together?! Could happen, according to the former All-American swimmer herself, who tells TMZ Sports she'd "absolutely" be open to the idea.

Of course, this comes on the heels of the two athletes' social media dust-up earlier this month ... which culminated with the 7x Olympic gold medalist apologizing to the former University of Kentucky swim star for likening her physical stature to that of a man while the women debated trans athletes' participation in youth girls' sports.

We spoke to Riley, a political activist and host of Outkick's "Gaines For Girls" podcast, where we asked her if she'd be down to team up with Biles.

Brad Pitt in a double-breasted tuxedo?! Must we say more?! Well, we're gonna 😉 ... Take a good look up and down at these two hotties ... Can you find the minor changes?! You may need a handkerchief to wipe yourself down.

En route to the "F1" world premiere in Times Square, the a-lister locked hands with his hot hunny Ines de Ramon -- who exposed her midriff in an effortless and chic ensemble.

Walk up to our photo gallery and put those skills to the test!

Summer is here, so to kick off all the fun in the sun, we've got the stars who've already hit the beaches in their best bikinis and trunks on their summer vacays. They may have beach you to it, but might as well live vicariously through Hollywood!

Beach bod ready, Kylie Jenner kicked off the 'wet hair dont care' vibes in the tropics, "Queer Eye" star Antoni Porowski displayed his washboard abs in Mexico, and Freya Tidy and Greg Sulkin are summer lovin' and havin' a blast in the waves!

Anne Burrell's death is being investigated as a possible drug overdose.

Law enforcement sources confirm to TMZ ... The NYPD is looking into the possibility the late Food Network star ingested a fatal amount of drugs.

TMZ broke the story ... Anne's husband, Stuart Claxton, found her unconscious early Tuesday morning, lying on the shower floor inside a bathroom in their Brooklyn home. Our sources also tell us police found a bunch of pills nearby.

Congrats are in order for Justin Verlander and Kate Upton ... TMZ Sports has confirmed they had another baby!

A rep for Kate tells TMZ ... She and Justin welcomed their son, Bellamy Brooks Verlander, on June 19.

Verlander was just placed on paternity leave by the San Francisco Giants on Friday afternoon ... as he and his wife's little bundle of joy entered into the world Thursday.

A suspect has been arrested in the fatal hit-and-run of Netflix star Sara Burack ...  and authorities wasted little time in cracking the case.

Per the New York Post ... Amanda Kempton was arrested and booked on suspicion of leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident, a felony.

A family spokesperson told TMZ ... they family was not aware an arrest had been made ... and Southampton Town Police did not immediately respond to a request for more information.

Lauren Sanchez does not want to sully her best outfits on some dinghy ... because we've learned for at least part of her big wedding week, she and Jeff Bezos will be staying at a super-swanky Venice hotel.

Multiple Venetian sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Bezos and the future Mrs. Bezos will be staying at the Aman Venice, a landmark built in 1550.

Furthermore, our sources say the Aman has been blocked out entirely from Wednesday, June 25, through Sunday, June 29. We're told wedding guests will also be staying at the hotel.

Blake Lively is doling out subpoenas like Oprah Winfrey gives out cars.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Blake filed motions to compel subpoenas against a bunch of executives at Justin Baldoni's production company, Wayfarer.

All told, Blake subpoenaed 8 folks at Wayfarer. The docs say Blake served third-party subpoenas back in March, and now she's asking the court for some help enforcing the subpoenas.

The Chucky doll from "Child's Play" is not scary enough to warrant a lawsuit from a woman who claims it gave her PTSD at work ... at least according to lawyers for the folks she's dragging to court.

Here's the deal ... Debra Jones sued Truist Bank, claiming her former manager placed a Chucky doll in her office chair last year, even though she says he knew she was afraid of dolls. She claimed the alleged incident ended up leading to a PTSD diagnosis.

Lawyers for Truist are firing back ... they want a judge to dismiss the lawsuit, claiming the Chucky doll is way too vanilla and isn't "extreme and outrageous" enough to sue over.

The Diddy trial is entering the home stretch because prosecutors are almost done with their case and the defense is now saying they only need one or two days to make their case ... and it sounds like we could get a verdict as early as next week.

Prosecutors called one of their final witnesses Friday and we heard more of the same ... this time from Brendan Paul, Diddy's former assistant, who said he is not a drug mule.

Paul testified about getting drugs sometimes for Diddy and setting up hotel rooms for freak-offs -- like other former Diddy helpers -- but he helped the defense by saying on cross-examination it didn't feel like 'Jane' was being coerced into participating in freak-offs.

Thursday's episode of "Love Island USA" turned into softcore porn ... coupled-up Hannah Fields and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez got down and dirty under the covers -- and it was all caught on camera for fans to see!

The cameras were rolling last night when the two lovebirds snuggled up in bed together ... check out the clip ... Hannah licks her fingertips and Pepe scooches in close and some rustling under the covers follows -- sure looks like an intimate encounter between the sheets.

For context -- in case you're not a woman in her 20s, or her boyfriend/husband being forced to watch the show -- Hannah came in as a "bombshell" ... that's the term for a new islander that enters the show ... and only coupled up with Pepe days before this saucy, sneaky scene.

Former "Shahs of Sunset" star Lilly Ghalichi just filed for divorce -- for the fourth time -- from husband Dara Mir.

According to docs obtained by TMZ, Lilly filed the divorce docs on June 20 and listed the official date of separation as June 19. We guess she didn't need much time to think about it.

The two originally said "I do" in 2017, but the marriage has been anything but smooth. Dara first filed for divorce in 2019, they reconciled, but Lilly followed up with not one -- but two -- more filings in 2020.
