Nicki Minaj will not have to sell her home in order to pay off a bodyguard who her husband, Kenneth Petty, allegedly attacked ... because the bodyguard's lawyer says the judgment's been satisfied.

The rapper's team is in court Thursday ... and, we thought they had plans to argue that a judge shouldn't make her sell her Hidden Hills mansion to repay a $500K judgment awarded to Thomas Weidenmuller.

However, we talked to Weidenmuller's attorney, Paul Saso, before the hearing started ... and, he told us they planned to tell the judge Nicki has actually satisfied the judgment.

Former NFL player Kevin Johnson -- a member of the Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders -- passed away this week, TMZ Sports has learned.

Johnny Depp is getting his name dragged into the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni drama ... and it's all because of some newly revealed text messages fired off by Ryan Reynolds.

New legal docs obtained by TMZ feature texts between Ryan and his talent agent, Warren Zavala ... and they're chatting about Lively and Baldoni's PR strategies when Ryan name-drops Depp.

The exchange, from August 2024, goes like this ... Zavala says of Baldoni, "It's this guys incredible ego. It feels like he's laying a trap if her truth surfaces, while promoting a narrative digitally."

Ryan replies, "Yeah. But honestly, someone is just gonna tell a journalist the real deal and it's gonna blow up in his face."

If this hot shot doesn't have you shakin' in your boots, it's time to pick up the pace and put those celeb skills to the test! Can you guess who this beachside babe is?!

We’re living in the era where one little clip can flip your entire life ... and Daymond John came through TMZ to break down how viral fame really hits, especially after that now-famous Dr. Pepper jingle lady.

Catch "TMZ Live" Thursday... 'cause the "Shark Tank" star breaks down the ultimate power of social media story -- user @romeosshow uploaded a 10-second TikTok clip after being inspired in a dream, and that went hugely viral ... and Dr. Pepper turned it into their official National Championship jingle. Insane.

Daymond drops some wild stats too -- saying we touch our phones hundreds of times a day -- and explains how social media is basically a giant testing lab, for people chasing fame and for brands hunting their next breakout star.

The convo even lit a fire under our own Harvey -- who took his own shot at viral glory ... with a jingle about diarrhea. Yes, really.

There are questions surrounding the death of Colts owner Jim Irsay ... to the point where the matter is now reportedly under FBI investigation.

The documents, obtained by The Washington Post, revealed a federal grand jury subpoena was issued earlier this month, requesting information on Irsay's May 21, 2025 death, and his "substance (illegal and prescription) use."

The FBI is also seeking records and info on Irsay's relationship to Dr. Harry Haroutunian, a California-based addiction specialist.

6:03 PM PT -- A rep for Kansas City PD tells TMZ ... "Generally we do not comment in pending litigation to ensure fairness for all sides involved. Anything we have previously said on the subject in the process of your reporting is available for use, but nothing further at this time."

Trey Songz is fighting back about an arrest that happened half a decade ago ... suing the Kansas City Police Department over an incident at a Kansas City Chiefs NFL playoff game.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Trey claims he was at the AFC Championship Game between the Chiefs and Buffalo Bills in January 2021 and was in his seat at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri when folks nearby started heckling him because of his celeb status.

Trey claims the verbal heckling escalated to threats and harassment, resulting in security and police being called to his seat ... and we were first to obtain video of the police interaction.

Dr. Terry Dubrow has been sued by a former patient who claims he caused severe bleeding in her that required two additional surgeries, after using a non-FDA approved mesh material for a breast augmentation he performed on her ... all the way back in 2014.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the woman says the famous doc stuffed her chest with unsafe, non-FDA approved SERI Surgical Scaffold mesh ... which a subsequent doctor says resulted in a hematoma in her right breast and required 2 surgeries to fix.

The plaintiff not only alleges she suffered physical injuries, but said she lost out on money because she could not work ... and had to shell out cash for the corrective surgeries. She is seeking reimbursement of her medial expenses and wants money for any future corrective procedures she may need ... in addition to damages for lost income.

It's Barron Trump to the rescue!

That's right ... President Trump's son saved a woman who was getting savagely beaten by her ex-boyfriend in London, England.

Here's the scoop ... Barron received a FaceTime call from the woman, whose ex, Matvei Rumiantsev, was using her as a punching bag during the attack last January, according to the victim, who testified in court Wednesday. The victim said Rumiantsev became jealous of her friendship with Barron -- triggering the assault.

Barron's call to emergency service was played in the courtroom and you can hear him talking to a dispatcher without identifying himself.

Justin Baldoni's defense lawyer isn't ruling out a settlement possibility in Blake Lively's lawsuit against his client ... telling us his team is always focused on a positive overall outcome.

Bryan Freedman stopped to talk with us outside a Manhattan courthouse Thursday -- after a hearing in the case -- and he told us he thought the hearing went well for Baldoni.

We then asked if his client would consider a settlement ... and Freedman doesn't shoot it down -- though he does admit he can't say definitively one way or another.

David and Victoria Beckham are not fearful, or devastated, over son Brooklyn Beckham's prenuptial agreement with wife Nicola Peltz, despite reports suggesting otherwise ... cause TMZ has learned the narrative couldn't be further from the truth.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the Beckhams are not worried, afraid, or losing any sleep over Brooklyn's prenup. We're told it's the complete opposite ... both families were always supportive of a prenup, and no one involved views it as controversial, controlling, or alarming in any way.

The reports, first pushed by a UK tabloid, painted a dramatic picture claiming David and Victoria believe Brooklyn has been "absorbed" into the Peltz family, alienated from his own, and financially vulnerable if the marriage ends. One source even alleged Brooklyn was "being held captive" ... a claim our sources flat-out call ridiculous.

David Harbour and Lily Allen are officially closing the door on their Brooklyn chapter ... 'cause TMZ has learned the estranged couple has found a buyer for their NYC townhouse following their very public -- and very ugly -- breakup.

Sources with knowledge of the sale tell TMZ ... the former couple closed on the property for $7 million, after it went into contract earlier this week. The home was originally listed for $8 million back in October, before the price was slashed to $7.3 million in January, and now, it's finally off their hands.

The place isn't just any brownstone. The late 19th century 5-bedroom, 4-bath Carroll Gardens townhouse sits on one of the most sought-after blocks in the neighborhood. The 4-level home was purchased by the couple in 2021 for $3.35 million, then completely reimagined with AD100 designer Billy Cotton and architect Ben Bischoff of MADE.

But the timing of the sale is impossible to ignore. Harbour and Allen's breakup has been extremely messy, and Lily's new album, "West End Girl," appears to pull zero punches. The title track is reportedly all about this very townhouse, turning their one-time dream home into a symbol of everything that went wrong.

Blake Lively's trying to keep her famous friends out of her lawsuit fracas ... because this case isn't about them, it's about Justin Baldoni's treatment of her -- this according to her lawyer.

Sigrid McCawley -- Lively's high-profile attorney who famously represented victims of Jeffrey Epstein -- spoke to reporters outside a Manhattan courthouse Thursday after a hearing in the case wrapped.

McCawley told the assembled media Lively's standing up for all the young women out there ... becoming a real-life example for those who might be afraid to reveal they've been sexually harassed in the workplace.

11:40 AM PT -- Don Lemon posted a statement from his attorney, Abbe Lowell, on his official IG account Thursday after the judge rejected the DOJ's attempt to charge him … noting journalists' First Amendment rights were properly reinforced by the federal judge.

The statement concludes … "Should the Department of Justice continue with a stunning and troubling effort to silence and punish a journalist for doing his job, Don will call out their latest attack on the rule of law and fight any charges vigorously and thoroughly in court."

Don Lemon looks like he's off the hook in Minnesota ... because a judge reportedly swatted away the U.S. Department of Justice's first attempt to charge him with a crime over an anti-ICE protest that tore through a church service.

CNN reports a federal magistrate judge rejected the DOJ's bid to bring charges against the former CNN host, who reported live from Sunday's protest at Cities Church in St. Paul.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is in meeting with federal prosecutors in Minnesota, is reportedly "enraged" at the judge's decision.

Jameela Jamil’s feminist, women-first image may be taking a serious hit ... 'cause newly revealed texts show her absolutely torching Blake Lively behind the scenes!

In unsealed court docs tied to the ongoing Lively vs. Baldoni "It Ends With Us" legal war, a batch of the British actress' private messages from 2024 with Justin Baldoni’s publicist, Jennifer Abel, are now being submitted as evidence in the case ... and they’re brutal.

Jameela goes all in on the "Gossip Girl" alum, calling her a "suicide bomber" and a "villain," while Jennifer repeatedly drops the C-word.
