A teenage boy in Florida is facing a felony charge over a video that law enforcement says shows him intentionally setting his friend on fire on a beach.

The Marion County Sheriff's office says a 17-year-old kid in a viral video is seen creating a trail of gasoline from a campfire on the sand ... and splashing gas on another boy sitting nearby, causing him to light up. That kid ran into the lake to extinguish the flames.

The victim told his mom he got burned when he tried to throw a water bottle filled with gas into a fire ... but his dad found the video and called the sheriff. Cops later found the gas container in nearby shrubbery ... along with some "empty alcoholic beverage cans."

Progress in the nasty divorce involving Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann ... it appears they've hammered out a child custody agreement ... but it's only temporary.

The estranged couple sat down for a mediation session Tuesday last week, according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... which resulted in a temporary custody agreement signed by Kim and Kroy.

It's unclear what the custody agreement entails ... all the docs say is they signed a deal.

Authorities are taking the lid off the alleged Nancy Guthrie ransom demand we received earlier this week ... confirming they're looking into a note that carries two deadlines.

Several law enforcement officials spoke at a press conference Thursday morning ... and, while they'd previously been cagey with the public about what the note says, they're now divulging certain details -- including the first deadline, which lapses at 5 PM local time today.

The second deadline, as confirmed by authorities, is set for Monday, February 9.

They wouldn't say what exactly changes after the deadlines hit ... but -- as Harvey and Charles said on "TMZ Live" -- we know if the first is missed, that changes the demand ... while missing the second has a more serious consequence.

Authorities in Tucson have revealed the timeline of the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy ... as a deadline looms in an alleged ransom plot.

According to authorities -- including Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos -- Nancy left her own house at approximately 5:30 PM Saturday. After several hours of playing games and having dinner with loved ones, Nancy returned to her home.

Nancy got home around 9:48 PM, at which time the garage door opened. The garage door closed at 9:50 PM. The doorbell camera disconnected at approximately 1:47 AM. At 2:12 AM, the software for the camera detected a person ... and Nancy's pacemaker disconnected at 2:28 AM. No cameras around the property were smashed or destroyed.

Fab Morvan, of Milli Vanilli fame, says he spent years being scapegoated by the music industry ... but his new Grammy nomination may have given his career new life in America.

We caught up with Fab in L.A. nearly 36 years after the 1990 lip-syncing scandal, which led to the Recording Academy revoking Milli Vanilli's Best New Artist prize. But on Sunday, Fab made his triumphant return to the award show as a nominee!

He told us, "My wings were clipped. I guess they reattached this weekend. The best is yet to come."

Political commentator Quentin Jiles was a runner-up on "The Traitors" 3 years ago, so he knows what it takes to survive the roundtable ... and he told us the politicians he thinks would be immediately banished.

Watch the video ... Quentin stopped by "TMZ Live" to dish on who in D.C. gives off so much overtly traitorous energy, the other Faithfuls would banish them whether they were Traitors or not.

Quentin gave us 2 very notable names ... and one them, Quentin joked, catches a flight out of his state "every time the wind blows," which would be an immediate red flag to the rest of the contestants.

Yep, the Thai superstar is fully in her acting era ... after bonding on the 'TWL' set with EP David Bernad over their shared love of the rom-com classic "Notting Hill," the two reportedly teamed up to cook up the premise for this brand-new streaming project.

Deadline broke the news, noting the logline’s still under lock and key ... but the creative muscle is no joke. Comedy heavyweight Katie Silberman -- the writer behind "Booksmart" and "Set It Up" -- is penning the script.

Kurt Warner is calling out the Hall of Fame voting drama … telling TMZ Sports that selectors might be playing too many mind games instead of simply putting the right legends in Canton.

We caught up with the former Super Bowl MVP at the airport this week ... and he didn’t hold back on the selection process. Warner suggests this year’s results have plenty of people scratching their heads and wondering how certain all-time greats are still waiting for the call.

"I think most people feel like they didn’t get it right this year," Warner said, referencing the snubs of Patriots legends Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft.

Bad Bunny refused to spill even a single bean ahead of his Super Bowl Halftime Show ... remaining super tight-lipped about whether anyone will join him on stage on Sunday.

Benito held a press conference prior to the biggest performance of his superstar career ... and during the Q&A, he said while he might have joked about it on "Saturday Night Live," folks don't even have to learn Spanish to enjoy his set -- they just gotta dance.

Considering BB was a surprise appearance six years ago during Jennifer Lopez and Shakira's gig, Ebro Darden and Zane Lowe asked if he's enlisting anyone for that same role at Levi's Stadium ... and he wasn't budging.

"Rush Hour 4" is off to the races ... pre-production is starting within weeks, cementing Brett Ratner's return to Hollywood, TMZ has learned.

Understand the words comin' out of our mouth ... the fourth installment in the popular franchise starring Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan was greenlit last November -- shortly after President Trump randomly said he missed old-school buddy-cop comedies ... specifically saying there needed to be another 'Rush Hour.'

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ … 'RH4' is absolutely happening -- and soon -- with pre-production set to begin within weeks, as spring arrives.

Pick those jaws off the floor, 'cuz this Hollywood hottie left little to the imagination -- you're gonna want more! Can you guess who she is?

This ain't her first bikini rodeo, but it may be her best yet 🥵!

Super Bowl Sunday isn't just about football, it's also about the food ... and TMZ Sports has obtained the menu for this year's big game -- and it's sure to leave your mouth watering.

Levy Restaurants -- the hospitality team over at Levi's Stadium -- gave us a look at what their team has been working on ahead of the matchup ... and it justifies the price of admission alone.

If anyone in attendance is craving a burger, the LX Hammer Burger might be just what they're looking for. It features a fall-off-the-bone, braised bone-in beef shank, roasted mirepoix demi-glace and Point Reyes bleu cheese fondue on a house-baked brioche bun.

Savannah Guthrie's video response to an alleged ransom note for her abducted mother Nancy is fascinating on a number of levels ... including timing.

TMZ received an alleged ransom note Tuesday, demanding millions of dollars in bitcoin in exchange for Nancy's safe return ... and Savannah uploaded a video Wednesday where she told the alleged captors she was ready to talk and needed proof of life on Nancy.

Thing is ... the ransom note we forwarded to law enforcement made it clear there wouldn't be any "talk" and it gave some tight deadlines with an element of "or else."

There are also references to 2 items in and around Nancy's house ... we're told by sources connected to the investigation the descriptions are accurate.
