Alix Earle and Tom Brady party linkups may be turning into a legit connection … ’cause we're told the two are suddenly giving off some serious chemistry.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us the influencer, 25, and retired quarterback, 48, have, of course, hung out in the same circles before … but things took a noticeable turn this past weekend when they both hit San Francisco for Super Bowl festivities.

The two were spotted dancing and chatting together at an invite-only pre–Super Bowl party -- and we’re told the pair exchanged contact info for the first time during the trip.

TJ Sabula -- the Ford plant worker who yelled "pedophile protector" at President Donald Trump during DT's visit to the location -- is keeping his job, and he doesn't have to worry about any disciplinary actions either.

United Auto Workers Vice President Laura Dickerson was at a conference in Washington, D.C. this morning, where she said ... "TJ is well aware that the UAW has his back and supported him in his beliefs. Freedom of speech is real."

According to Dickerson, the contentious interaction showed "what the current president really thinks about working people in the way he responded."

After the price of the "Breaking Bad" house was knocked from $4 million all the way down to $400,000, a battle for the property is blowing up … and streamer Adin Ross is right in the mix.

Sources with knowledge tell TMZ … Adin's team reached out last week to make an offer for the house ... we're told the owners have received about 20 legitimate offers so far, and now they're dealing with an actual bidding war.

Matt Rife and Mariah Morse have gone their separate ways after a brief romance ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the comedian and the fitness influencer, who we first reported were dating in March 2025, recently called it quits. It's currently unclear what led to the split. The two have also unfollowed each other on social media.

When we broke the story last year, Matt and Mariah looked very much all in. While it was unclear exactly how long they'd been seeing each other at the time, Mariah had already gotten close enough to post a pic with Matt's dog, Hammer, raising eyebrows among fans.

Jutta Leerdam can officially call herself an Olympic gold medalist -- the Dutch speed skater just won the women's 1,000-meter speed skating competition -- while also breaking the Olympic record!

It all went down Monday morning in Milan, with Leerdam surpassing her Dutch counterpart Femke Kok by 0.28 seconds to win the first medal of the games for the Netherlands.

She was quickly overcome with emotions after the win, skating around the ice to take it all in.

Teigan -- the adorable pooch from Puppy Bowl XXII -- tragically passed away months before the annual event aired on TVs across America ... with the Connecticut animal sanctuary Perfect Imperfections calling it "bittersweet to [see] her on TV."

The Team Fluff member contracted a severe case of pneumonia weeks after filming the 2026 edition of the Puppy Bowl, with the sanctuary saying Teigan was placed on oxygen and given IV fluids after X-Rays revealed the extent of the illness.

"I took her home and set everything up for her so she could continue getting her fluids and oxygen," the rescue center worker said. "I checked on her every two hours to change her position and flush her catheter. I started to get tail wags when I talked to her and for a moment I was hopeful she would beat this again, but knowing her little body had already suffered through this once."

WWE Hall of Famer Fred Ottman is opening up about a terrifying, life-or-death health scare ... revealing he’s spent the last month in the hospital

The 69-year-old wrestling legend -- best known to fans as Typhoon, Tugboat and The Shockmaster -- shared the health news in an Instagram video posted Sunday, saying he's been bedridden since his gallbladder ruptured, nearly killing him.

“If I would have waited one more day,” Ottman said, “the doctors told me I probably wouldn’t be here with you.”

The medical nightmare didn’t stop there. Ottman says the rupture caused severe infections that flooded his system, leaving him flat on his back for weeks -- and forcing him to relearn how to walk.

“I’ve lost a lot of muscle mass. It’s been a brutal fight,” he admitted. “I’ve been learning how to walk again.”

Despite the grueling recovery, there’s finally light at the end of the tunnel. Ottman says doctors plan to discharge him Monday ... allowing him to continue rehab at home -- though he’s not totally out of the woods yet.

Through it all, the newly inducted WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025 member -- honored alongside Earthquake as part of The Natural Disasters -- says he’s leaning heavily on his inner circle.

“Thank God, I’ve got a good wife. I’ve got great friends,” Ottman said. “My wrestling buddies are just amazing.”

Looks like the touchdowns weren’t just happening on the field ... Orlando Bloom appeared to be scoring big off it too, stepping out of the Super Bowl with a mystery blonde firmly on his arm.

The 49-year-old actor looked happy, relaxed, and very much not single as he exited Levi’s Stadium Sunday night alongside Swiss model Luisa Laemmel, 28, who was tightly linked to Orlando as they made their way out.

Orlando kept things cool and low-key in an all-black fit and cap ... but with Luisa hanging off his arm, the duo was anything but discreet.

Kim Delaney's husband was arrested after deputies responded to a disturbance at the former "NYPD Blue" star's Los Angeles-area apartment ... TMZ has learned.

The L.A. County Sheriff's Department tells TMZ ... deputies responded to what was classified as a family disturbance on Sunday night. We're told deputies received four separate 911 calls reporting a possible verbal disturbance in a public area at the couple's apartment complex in Marina Del Rey.

According to the sheriff's department, Kim's hubby, James Morgan, was arrested at the scene for obstructing or delaying a public officer. He is currently still in custody and is due in court Tuesday.

A bitcoin account allegedly set up to accept funds in exchange for Savannah Guthrie's missing mother Nancy is still sitting empty Monday morning ... with time quickly winding down on an alleged deadline.

Over the weekend, Savannah and her family responded to a ransom message, saying they will pay the $6 million demand to have their mother returned to them. The alleged note requested payment by last Thursday ... but it also listed a second deadline of today at 5 PM local Tucson time.

It's unclear how long it typically takes for accounts to update, but as of now, the confirmed balance in the publicly viewable account stands at $0 ... with no transactions recorded.

Kayla Nicole is facing heat online again ... this time, for a Super Bowl ad where she took a jab at her ex, Travis Kelce, and his fiancé, Taylor Swift ... which quickly pissed off the Swiftes.

Nicole, 34, was featured in a Sleeper's commercial with Tiffany Haddish and NBA player Ben Simmons ... who played the role of the "ex-communicators" who offer help dealing with famous former flings.

The social media influencer -- who was labeled the "Ex of a certain NFL Player" -- said in the ad that "Simmons and Haddish promised me that they could put an end to this whole 'ex-girlfriend' fiasco quickly."

Logan Paul caused a scene at the Super Bowl just by existing ... with a bunch of fans rushing up to him as he left the game -- to the point where his bodyguard had to intervene.

TMZ Sports shot the Maverick and his wife, Nina Agdal, exiting Levi's Stadium on Sunday ... and the footage shows a group following closely behind.

In the clip, it looks like Paul is asking the crowd to take it easy ... but the fans were trying their best to capture selfies with the WWE Superstar.

James Pearce Jr. "intentionally" hit an officer with his Lamborghini while evading law enforcement after an alleged domestic dispute with WNBA star Rickea Jackson, according to police docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

Jackson told police she and Pearce Jr. recently ended a three-year relationship, saying she blocked the 23-year-old’s number to stop further contact, but it didn't work. Rickea told police James used an alternate phone to continue contacting her.

On February 7 -- as she was leaving an apartment complex -- Jackson noticed Pearce Jr.'s Lambo SUV behind her ... and attempted to get away. While at a red light, she says he approached her vehicle and attempted to open the door.
