Sydney Sweeney's leaving her troubles behind in Los Angeles ... enjoying the sun, surf and sand in Santa Barbara with Scooter Braun days after her new movie "Christy" flopped on opening weekend.

The actress was photographed in the coastal Southern California town wearing a sweater to cut through the seaside chill and a pair of tiny shorts ... grabbing a bite with Braun, who dressed casually in a long-sleeve white shirt, gray shorts and a dark blue cap.

The two giggled their afternoon away ... chowing down before hopping on bikes and riding to their next destination this week.

Four congressmen flying to Washington, D.C. had their plane diverted to Kansas City after another passenger got too rowdy -- and maybe too political!

Greg Stanton (D-AZ), Eli Crane (R-AZ), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), and Paul Gosar (R-AZ) were all seated on an American Airlines flight from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to D.C. Wednesday night, when a "disruptive passenger" forced the aircraft to make an emergency landing at KC International Airport, according to authorities.

FlightAware -- which provides real-time flight tracking data -- showed the plane had been up in the air for more than 2 and a half hours before landing. While the passenger was behaving unruly, it remains unclear what exactly she did to prompt the diversion.

Former "Good Morning America" cohosts T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach are radiating newly engaged bliss ... and that glow is definitely bouncing off the massive sparkler now parked on her finger!

Check out the pics -- the pair were hand-in-hand in NYC Wednesday, with Amy flashing a mega-watt smile and that blindingly bright humongous ice on her finger, which was basically the only thing not low-key about their outfits.

The lovebirds made a pit stop at a mailbox to drop off some letters ... which totally could be wedding invites, if they’re really out here speed-running their planning phase.

Luigi Mangione's team says they've yet to see any evidence of a statement his mom, Kathleen Mangione, allegedly made to cops that the murder of a healthcare executive was something "she could see him doing."

In legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Mangione's lawyers -- namely Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Marc Agnifilo and Jacob Kaplan -- cite a December 2024 press conference where NYPD detectives referenced information they received from the FBI ... including info from a San Francisco Police Department sergeant who'd spoken to Mangione's mother after the shooting in connection with a missing-person report.

In the press conference, the NYPD's Chief of Detectives referenced the SFPD officer, explaining Kathleen "didn't indicate that it was her son in the photograph, but she said it might be something that she could see him doing."

Clippers and Nuggets players weren't the only ones showing off their moves on Wednesday -- a fan put his own on display after rushing the court during the game ... but as always, he ultimately had a date with security.

TMZ Sports obtained footage of the incident that went down during the matchup at the Inuit Dome in Inglewood, California.

We're told the guy came outta nowhere as he ran onto the hardwood ... and he somehow ended up right beside Nuggets guard Bruce Brown.

Robert Irwin had everyone talking about his 'DWTS' chemistry with Xochitl Gomez ... everyone except the Aussie himself, who just sidestepped the romance questions like a pro!

We grabbed Robert as he rolled into practice Wednesday in L.A. ... and when we asked if he and Xochitl are a thing, he swerved hard, launching into a lil’ monologue about how they had the best time and how their two dances were so much fun. Cute answer ... but not the answer.

TBH, his non-answer doesn’t shut down the rumors at all -- 'cause if there was nothing going on, he could’ve just flat-out denied it. Instead, he left the door cracked wide open, which is exactly how a showmance is born ...

Paul Skenes isn't always stone-faced when he gets awards -- he cracked a smile after winning the 2025 NL Cy Young!!

MLB announced Wednesday night the Pittsburgh Pirates flamethrower earned the top pitching honors this season ... and the cameras caught his reaction as he sat with his girlfriend, Livvy Dunne, and friends and family.

There really wasn't much suspense about whether Skenes would take home the hardware ... but folks were curious to find out whether the 23-year-old would show any sort of emotion, or keep a blank look like last year.

As if Swifties weren't swooning enough ... Travis Kelce is featured in Taylor Swift's "Eras" tour docuseries -- and has a major stamp of approval from her mom!

Check out the official trailer for "The End of an Era" -- there's no hiding Trav and Tay's love as the singer's mother, Andrea Swift, gushes over the NFL star ... saying he "brings happiness" to their lives.

There's also an adorable moment that documents the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and "Fate of Ophelia" singer on the phone, drawing similarities within each other's lives.

Christy Martin countered critiques of Sydney Sweeney's portrayal of her in the biopic "Christy" ... appearing to throw some jabs at detractor Ruby Rose.

Posting a picture of herself with the "Euphoria" star, Christy wrote ... “I’ve always been a fighter. My life reflected that in every way and now I fight for others. The past few days I have seen some people attack my friend Sydney Sweeney."

The retired boxer continued ... "Syd not only worked her ass off for this film, she worked her ass off for me. For my story. For so many others suffering in silence. So I want to be clear about who Syd is. She is my friend and ally!"

Kourtney Kardashian is making sure Travis Barker gets a serious glow-up for his 50th birthday -- literally -- as she decked their L.A. home out with candles for a lavish dinner.

The celebration went down Wednesday night ... with Kourtney giving her fans a look at the fancy setup, sharing pics on IG showing dozens of large candles in glass holders lined up outside the front door entrance of the couple's home.

Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump had a "deep" relationship ... all because of their lust for hot models, according to author Michael Wolff.

Wolff addressed the latest controversy engulfing President Trump over his past association with Epstein on his podcast, "Inside Trump's Head," after the House Oversight Committee released a boatload of emails shedding new light on the president's relationship with the late pedophile Wednesday morning.

The 23,000 emails show, in part, how Epstein and Wolff tried to craft a response that would not fully disclose the relationship between Epstein and Trump in 2015, while Trump was running for his first term as president. Another email Epstein wrote in 2011 to his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell references Trump spending hours at Epstein's house with one of Epstein's victims, later identified as Virginia Giuffre. Trump was not a party to any of the emails, so he never responded.

Harrison was handed his pink slip on Tuesday ... an inevitable move nine months after the franchise player was shipped to L.A. in exchange for Anthony Davis.

At the time, Perk said he loved the transaction for both sides ... but Mavs backers weren't buying it -- and wanted Harrison gone ASAP.

Rev. Jesse Jackson has been hospitalized as he continues to manage a serious neurodegenerative condition ... the Rainbow PUSH Coalition announced Wednesday.

According to the organization, Jackson was admitted to the hospital and is currently under medical observation for progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a disorder he has been battling for roughly ten years.

"The family appreciates all prayers at this time," the coalition said in a statement.

Jackson was first diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, but his PSP diagnosis was confirmed in April, the group added.
