Ryan Wedding made his first court appearance following his arrest last week in Mexico City ... with the alleged international drug kingpin pleading not guilty to all 17 felony charges against him, and his attorney urging the public to keep an open mind.

Wedding appeared before Judge John D. Early on Monday afternoon in a Santa Ana courtroom. On top of his not guilty plea, he was ordered jailed without bond and will remain in U.S. custody.

Speaking with TMZ Sports outside the courtroom ... Wedding's attorney, Anthony Colombo, fired back at FBI Director Kash Patel's claim that the Canadian Olympic snowboarder is a modern-day El Chapo and Pablo Escobar.

Courtney Stodden and husband Jared Safier have been married a year but they're still in the honeymoon phase ... according to these pretty graphic pics of them packing on a ton of PDA while celebrating their anniversary!

The super NSFW photos show Safier had his hands full with his beautiful bride ... literally palming both her boobs like Nerf basketballs as he sweetly kissed her on the forehead.

Other shots show the couple tonguing each other down like two teens at summer camp.

One thing you can always count on from "Love Island USA" stars -- they’re gonna crank the heat way up, and JaNa Craig is living proof!

If you’re ready for your jaw to hit the floor, feast your eyes on these IG pics of JaNa absolutely owning it in a tiny gold string bikini in Dubai -- and LBR, that city did not need any extra heat.

It wasn’t just one shot either -- JaNa served up a full photoshoot, striking pose after pose to show off those perfectly sculpted curves.

The Department of Homeland Security has no plans to steer clear of the Super Bowl, despite tension and unrest after the shootings in Minnesota ... telling TMZ Sports, "Those who are here legally and are not breaking other laws have nothing to fear."

Immigration and Customs Enforcement were reportedly set to carry out immigration enforcement at Super Bowl LX on February 8 in Santa Clara, CA ... but with the controversy surrounding the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, would Homeland Security back off?

6:18 PM PT -- Sydney just posted additional footage on her Instagram showing her sneaking up an L.A. mountainside to the Hollywood Sign, where she's seen lacing the iconic landmark with bras from her new lingerie line, Syrn. The newly released video also shows Sydney and her production team loading a van with black duffel bags and driving up dark, winding streets toward the hillside beneath the famous sign to carry out her new project.

2:18 PM PT -- The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce just responded to TMZ's question -- would they file a police report for vandalism and/or trespass. The Chamber answered this way ... "We are still investigating how and under what authority (if any) the Sweeney production accessed the site of the Sign." Translation -- a police report could be filed if circumstances warrant.

Sydney Sweeney snuck up an L.A. mountain a few days ago, climbed the iconic HOLLYWOOD Sign, and laced it with bras ... and she may have gotten in trouble with the law.

TMZ obtained video of the "Christy" star scaling what appears to be the "H" with a handful of bras. A production team is filming as Sydney makes her way up under the cloak of darkness.

Sydney and her crew made their way to the top of the letters and strung up a clothesline of bras. Sweeney is gleeful as she surveys her handiwork.

As for why she did it ... sources say it's a video to promote the launch of her new lingerie line. As TMZ reported, Jeff Bezos is one of its investors, so it's well-funded for sure. This is the Bezos connection that got her an invite to the Bezos/Sanchez wedding last summer.

Now the problems ... we've learned Sydney got a permit from FilmLA to shoot the Hollywood Sign, but she did not have permission to touch or climb the sign itself ... and, like the bras, the permit had strings attached.

It’s the mega-mansion that refuses to budge ... and now it looks like exes Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are officially hitting pause once again, yanking their marital Beverly Hills palace off the market.

After a year and a half of trying and failing to unload the 12-bed, 24-bath monster at its original $68-million price tag, it has now been removed from online listings ... leaving everyone wondering ... are they switching tactics, or just flat-out done?

As you’ll remember, they’ve been playing listings ping-pong since July 2024, just weeks before their divorce filing ... most recently slashing a whopping $16 million off the price in September ... all this coming after failing to sell it quietly off-market before going public.

Kim Kardashian posed pretty in pink for Khloe's podcast, and while both sexy sisters slayed their pink looks, there can only be one winner here! So, the question here is: Who'd You Rather?!

VOTE NOW!

Dean Cain is swooping in to defend the federal immigration agents who killed Alex Pretti ... like Superman coming to rescue Lois Lane.

The 'Lois & Clark' star joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday, and we asked him about Saturday's fatal interaction between Pretti and Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis.

Dean, who is volunteering for ICE and helping with recruiting, doesn't have a problem blaming Pretti ... he says the nurse was playing with fire by, in his eyes, resisting and impeding Border Patrol while armed with a handgun.

The "All the Queen's Men" cast and crew is falling apart worse than Humpty Dumpty ... show creator Christian Keyes has just been hit with a nasty legal letter -- claiming he's been defaming one of the show's stars, and warning him to take it back and apologize ... or else!

TMZ obtained a copy of a cease-and-desist letter laying out all the drama ... Skyh Alvester Black -- who plays Addiction Anthony on the BET+ drama -- hired Marty Singer's law firm to send Keyes some serious demands as Keyes' "first and last chance to avoid litigation."

This all apparently stems from a Facebook post last month where Keyes called out Black for allegedly being high as a kite on set ... and Black is pissed!

Paul Pierce has been hit with a paternity lawsuit from a woman who says he is the father of her unborn child ... and now she's asking for a DNA test to back up her claims.

Princess Santiago, who works as an event director in L.A., filed the suit on January 12 and TMZ Sports has obtained a copy. In the docs, Santiago is asking the court to compel the 48-year-old to take genetic testing to determine whether he is the father of the child.

"I filed for paternity papers after multiple attempts to resolve this privately," Santiago said in a statement. "Paul Pierce is the father of my son, King, and I am simply asking for a paternity test so the truth can be confirmed."

Margot Robbie is cruising full-speed on her "Wuthering Heights" promo tour with Jacob Elordi ... and if their interview rounds don't already scream chemistry, these TMZ pics definitely do!

Peep these B&Ws snapped by street photographer Rene Mascarenas, who just happened to be stuck in traffic with them on L.A.’s famed Sunset Boulevard -- he asked for a pic, and they happily obliged ... 'cause LBR, when you look that good together, you never pass up free proof.

The pair looked every inch the movie stars -- Jacob behind the wheel, his fellow Aussie riding shotgun, both in a great mood ... especially after Rene told Jacob he crushed it in "Frankenstein" and tossed Margot a compliment for good measure.

Things are be popping off in a big way between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni in their ongoing legal drama ... but JB is keeping his cool, cruising some waves and celebrating his birthday in Costa Rica.

Check the pics -- Justin stripped down to his swim trunks, flashing those washboard abs with a surfboard in hand ... all while soaking up the sun and hitting the waves and making a splash for his 42nd birthday Sunday with the fam.

You’d never guess Justin's knee-deep in a serious legal mess ... the guy looked totally carefree, soaking up the beach life and riding those killer waves like he doesn't have a worry in the world.

2026 is off to a crazy rough start for Timothy Busfield and his wife, Melissa Gilbert, but Melissa took to Instagram Monday to thank their supporters ... while acknowledging the "heaviness" the whole country is going through right now.

As you know ... Busfield was charged with inappropriately touching 2 boys who were part of the cast of "The Cleaning Lady" in 2022. The actor denies any and all wrongdoing, and was even released from jail pending trial in New Mexico.

While it would be easy to focus on the bad parts of current life -- like the impending trial, the deadly winter storm sweeping the country, and the fatal ICE shootings in Minnesota -- Gilbert is choosing to look at the good.

12:32 PM PT -- Portnoy won't have to break out his "dead fish" after all -- the NFL tells us he's good to go to the Super Bowl as long as he buys a ticket.

Consider this beef squashed.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy fully expects to be inside Levi's Stadium when his beloved New England Patriots take the field for Super Bowl LX ... but if the NFL wants him gone, he'll be ready to channel his inner "dead fish."

El Presidente's beef with Roger Goodell goes back to Deflategate ... when Portnoy and three other Barstool employees (known as the Brady Four) were arrested for protesting the Tom Brady suspension at NFL headquarters.

Ever since, he's been persona non grata at the Big Game ... and was even kicked out when he tried to fly under the radar with a disguise when the Patriots won it all in 2019.

Zac Brown scored a major federal court victory ... a judge just ordered his estranged wife to return the documents she took when the country star fired her from his company.

A Georgia federal judge ruled in Zac's favor last week ... finding Kelly Yazdi breached her employment contract by taking and retaining more than 170 confidential business emails and files possibly containing info the judge said she could use to publicly attack Zac.

According to the ruling, obtained by TMZ, the judge granted Zac Brown Collective a permanent injunction, ordering Yazdi to return all confidential materials within seven days, certify under oath that she's done so, and permanently stop using or further disclosing any of Zac's business information.

Garcelle Beauvais had a terrifying situation blow up at her Los Angeles home over the weekend ... after someone made a bogus 911 call claiming there was a man with a weapon at the actress' Los Angeles home.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... on Sunday night, police received a call for a possible assault with a deadly weapon and shots fired. We're told the caller claimed he was Garcelle's ex-boyfriend, and said he was armed with a sawed-off shotgun.

When officers arrived at the scene, the caller was still on the phone, but they refused to meet cops. After searching the property, police found no evidence of a crime and determined the incident was a "swatting."
