Andy Cohen says he wasn't part of the plan to fool Howard Stern listeners and the media into thinking Howard was out at SiriusXM... telling us it was something Howard cooked up himself.

We got Andy in New York City after Monday's radio show prank ... and our photog asked him whose idea it was to take over Howard's show and tell listeners Howard wasn't coming back.

Andy says Howard was the sole mastermind here ... and he was just happy to go along with Howard's plan.

A baby raccoon got another chance at life after a trash dive went sideways ... and all the credit goes to one animal-loving nurse, who used her skills to save the kit.

Misty Combs, a nurse from Kentucky, tells TMZ ... she was going about her day when she and her coworkers spotted a raccoon in crisis in the parking lot of the Letcher County Health Department -- where she works as an RN.

The health department is notably located next to a moonshine distillery, where the baby raccoon and another little one got into the dumpster ... as you can see in pics provided by Combs.

Sabrina Carpenter shook the VMAs with a bold trans rights message -- and Katseye is standing loud and proud right behind her!

We caught up with the hottest girl group of the moment Monday -- and when asked about Sabrina’s message, member Lara Raj didn’t hesitate, telling us, "Trans rights, forever!!"

Not to mention, Katseye's song "Mean Girls" has the lyric, "God bless the T girls and all the in-between girls," so their support shouldn't come as a shock!

Joseph Baena did NOT make the cut for the final guest list of Patrick Schwarzenegger's wedding ... despite recent reports claiming otherwise, TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Joseph didn't attend Patrick's wedding to Abby Champion in northern Idaho over the weekend, as he wasn't invited in the first place. Take that in!!!

We're told it isn't surprising that Joseph wasn't included in the wedding festivities, given he has no relationship with that side of the Schwarzenegger fam.

Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers' legal war is heating up ... the exes faced off in court for the actress' restraining order request hearing, nearly 2 months after she first accused him of domestic abuse ... and the fight is just getting started.

Monday's hearing was continued to next month because Aaron got a new lawyer, Michael Finley, and his attorney needs time to look over all the case details.

In the meantime, Denise gets to go back to the family house ... and Aaron's not allowed within 100 yards of the home.

Laken Snelling — the University of Kentucky cheerleader charged in the grisly death of her newborn — was captured on camera pulling a stunt — but it's not what you might think.

Here's the scoop ... in April 2025, Snelling was filmed doing a routine with her fellow cheerleaders during the University of Kentucky's match-up against California Baptist University ... it was for the National Championship sport of STUNT, a cheerleading competition held in Nashville, Tennessee.

Check out the video, which just started making the rounds online ... it features Snelling in her form-fitting leotard as she stands on her teammate's shoulders and catches another teammate doing a backflip. Interestingly, Laken's tummy seems to be protruding during the performance — and when you think about what happened months later, the bump sort of gives you the creeps.

Val Kilmer finally got his grand Hollywood sendoff ... and a ton of celebs showed up to remember his life and acting career.

The late actor's celebration of life went down Sunday at the Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood ... and famous folks in attendance included Jack Black, Sean Penn, Slash, Kristin Wigg, Will Forte and Daryl Hannah.

A couple directors Val worked with in some of his biggest movies were also there ... Oliver Stone and Jerry Bruckheimer.

Vanessa Bryant is nipping yet another baseless rumor in the bud -- denying she's pregnant by downing a few drinks at the US Open.

Kobe's widow made the statement on Instagram ... showing a photo of her sipping the tournament's signature honey deuce cocktail while enjoying the weekend's action with her daughters, Capri and Bianka.

"Enjoying my honey deuce," Bryant said.

Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid just took bestie goals to Vogue-level heights -- serving an epic Western-themed cover that’s nothing short of iconic!

Feast your eyes on Vogue's October issue cover shoot ... with Gigi draped around Kendall’s waist as they stared at the camera... looking so stunning, it seemed like it was barely any effort for them.

The rest of the shots played out like a full-on country fantasy -- Kendall, a seasoned equestrian, owning the saddle and topping it off with a cowboy hat for the ultimate Western flair.

Britney Spears is perfectly fine dancing on her own ... even if it's in the middle of a bathroom during a "horrible" sushi date.

The singer shared a grim update on her love life Sunday, when she uploaded a video of herself on Instagram dancing solo in a bathroom. As she explained in the caption, the vid was taken during a break from a date at an undisclosed sushi restaurant ... where she had a less than ideal time.

Per Brit, the food was "yummy," but the guy was "absolutely horrible" -- he allegedly showed no effort.

Spain is well known for its bull runs — and usually someone gets gored — and Sunday was no different, with one unlucky fella dying.

The incident — captured on video — went down at a 10th annual festival called Toro del Gayumbo in the Spanish town of Ubrique — where two bulls were released onto the streets at separate times.

One bull came charging out at 12:30 PM, while the other bull, named Mosquetero, hit the road at 6:30 PM, plowing into a middle-aged man watching the festivities.

When Busta Rhymes shoots his shot, he is NOT subtle about it ... like the NSFW line he threw at Mariah Carey during a VMAs after-party, sending the crowd and the singer into a tizzy.

Watch the vid ... Busta grabs the mic at a wild bash after the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, where he propositions Mariah for some dirty dancing, laying out his proposal in stark detail.

He states in front of the party, "You ain't got a husband no more, I wanna hump on your leg."

Jennifer Aniston just lit Instagram on fire -- casually dropping a soft launch of her new boo Jim Curtis like it’s no big deal!

Yep, the actress slid a summer photodump onto IG Sunday -- and tucked inside was her new guy Jim, a hypnotherapist and life coach, caught staring at the sunset like a rom-com lead.

Snapped from behind, the shot screamed "just us" vibes -- making the moment feel even more intimate and romantic.

Charlie Sheen is revealing the reason he first turned to booze -- and it wasn't for partying -- instead, he says it was to help "soften the edges" as he battled a lifelong stutter.

He talked about leaning on alcohol in 1999, when he landed the sitcom "Spin City," and worried about the stutter impacting his starring role on the show.

Charlie was on Monday's 'GMA' discussing his addictions -- to alcohol, crack and more -- but says liquor helped achieve a sense of freedom with his speech.

Summer ain't quite over yet ... and this reality actress is helping to keep the temp extra scorching with her toned bod in tiny bikinis ... so give it your best guess!

The particular reality star also knows her way around a dance floor ... and is hosting one of the most popular dating shows on TV.
