The FBI has reached out to authorities in Mexico, in the hunt for Nancy Guthrie and her kidnapper, TMZ has learned ... and TMZ has received a new ransom note.

Law enforcement sources involved in the investigation tell us ... the FBI has contacted Mexican federal law enforcement to spread the word to various police agencies. We're told so far there have been no solid leads.

Our sources say the FBI believes it's possible Nancy was taken across the border, but it's unlikely it happened directly after the kidnapping. Authorities have checked Border Patrol cameras and other electronic devices, and they came up dry. That said, our sources say it's possible Nancy could have been taken across the border at some other time. Of course, there are ways to evade authorities when crossing the border.

TMZ has obtained another ransom note -- this one a highly sophisticated demand involving a cryptocurrency other than bitcoin. The email demands a dollar amount similar to the $6 million ransom demand in the previous email we received, days after the kidnapping. This email graphically describes the consequences if the ransom isn't paid.

A week after James died from stage 3 colorectal cancer at 48, Lionsgate has dropped the first trailer for the thriller "The Gates" ... casting him as a creepy pastor named Jacob, who's witnessed committing a murder by three college students cutting through a remote gated community.

James fully leaned into the darkness, delivering a spine-tingling performance that fans can catch when "The Gates" hits theaters March 13.

The 4 University of Idaho students slaughtered by Bryan Kohberger left behind almost everything they owned inside their house ... and now we're seeing haunting images of their possessions -- seemingly undisturbed -- in the hours after they were slain.

Tuesday, Idaho State Police released more than 2,000 photos related to the murder case, showing the crime scene after investigators arrived at the house in Moscow, Idaho, where the 4 students were butchered by a knife-wielding Kohberger in September 2022. Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle were all found stabbed to death in bedrooms.

As part of the photo dump, investigators snapped pics of the victims' everyday stuff, such as ID, credit cards, clothes, books, silverware, shoes, backpacks, medications, hair products, picture frames, card holder and much more.

Mia Goth may be separated from her estranged husband Shia LaBeouf ... but she's still affected by his latest alleged antics in New Orleans.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Mia is "concerned" about Shia. As you know ... the 39-year-old "Transformers" star got his ass handed to him on video yesterday after headbutting someone and allegedly punching people at a bar. He was later arrested and charged with 2 counts of simple battery.

Our sources tell us ... Mia is over Shia after they separated about a year ago, but speaks to him when he wants to connect with their daughter, Isabel, who was born in 2022.

According to our sources ... Shia loves his daughter and has a good relationship with her.

NASCAR star Tyler Reddick is calling out the negative chatter over Michael Jordan's eyebrow-raising interaction with his 6-year-old son as they celebrated his huge Daytona 500 win over the weekend.

The champion racer appeared on Stephen A. Smith's Sirius XM radio show Tuesday and said he's just not seeing anything inappropriate between his son and the NBA icon. It's all in the clip -- he reasons he's gotten to know MJ and his family over the years ... and is focused on celebrating his big moment with them.

ICYMI, Tyler races the No. 45 Toyota stock car, which is co-owned by Michael and three-time Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin.

Bunnie Xo's angle on Jelly Roll's dangle couldn't have surprised him, she says ... because she's told him about his weight-loss-induced penis growth to his face.

We caught up with the podcaster and YouTube personality Wednesday in New York City after she appeared on "TODAY" to plug her new memoir "Stripped Down: Unfiltered and Unapologetic" ... and we had to ask about her dishing on Jelly Roll's maple log during an appearance on "The Howard Stern Show" Tuesday.

Bunnie tells us it's nothing she hasn't said to her man's face ... and, she thinks he loves that she told the world -- because that's just Bunnie being unapologetically herself!

Quinton Aaron’s brother just got a restraining order against the woman who has called herself Quinton's "spiritual" wife … TMZ has learned.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ ... Quinton's brother, Jarred, filed to get a temporary restraining order against Margarita Aaron -- who's listed in the docs as Margaret DeLeon.

The petition was granted, and the order requires Margarita to stay away from Jarred or any immediate family ... which would presumably include Quinton.

Yesterday, we got video of Shia LaBeouf headbutting a man ahead of a bar brawl for the ages in New Orleans ... but he's actually pulled this same stunt before.

We got footage of the "Transformers" star in 2014 doing the same thing to a guy in South London.

Watch the two videos and compare ... in the first vid from over a decade ago, Shia is talking to the guy in a menacing way. He gets all in the guy's face ... then he smashes his head into his opponent's face like a fighting ram.

Rashee Rice's longtime partner and mother of his children has filed an explosive lawsuit against the NFL star, accusing him of choking, strangling, scratching, hitting, and headbutting her over a nightmare 19-month period.

The grisly details are part of a lawsuit filed by Dacoda Jones this week in district court, and obtained by TMZ Sports ... where she lays out what he says was a horrific pattern of abuse between December 2023 and July 2025.

"Rashee Rice continued to repeatedly [assault] Dacoda Jones over the course of their relationship," the lawsuit claims.

Jones -- who has two children with Rice -- says she was also subject to "other violent and abusive behaviors," which included the Chiefs' wideout throwing things at her, "punching walls, and breaking furniture."

Jones claims the abuse caused "bleeding, swelling, bruising, and other pain and physical injury to her neck, face, mouth, arms, legs, chest, and shoulder."

To make matters worse, Dacoda says most of the abuse occurred while she was pregnant.

It's not the first time Jones has gone public with the allegations of abuse. Last month on social media, Dacoda accused Rashee of getting physical with her ... and at the time, included photos she says prove he was abusive.

After hearing of the allegations, the NFL launched an investigation into Rice for possible violations of the league's Personal Conduct Policy. The investigation is still active.

We actually saw RR at LAX recently, and asked him about the situation ... but he stayed mum.

Rice, a game-breaking weapon on the field, has been in hot water off it. He served jail time in 2025 after pleading guilty to multiple felonies for his role in a multi-vehicle crash on a Dallas highway.

In that case, the NFL suspended Rice six games before he returned to play for Kansas City.

On a personal level, Rice has a new woman in his life, recently going IG official on Valentine's Day with Instagram model Rubi Rose.

Tom Noonan -- the longtime actor best known for his roles in "Last Action Hero" and "Robocop 2" -- has died, TMZ has learned.

Noonan died last Saturday, and his death was confirmed by director Fred Dekker, who wrote on Facebook, "It’s with great sadness that I share the passing of Tom Noonan … Tom’s indelible performance as Frankenstein in THE MONSTER SQUAD is a highlight of my modest filmography, doubtless aided by the masterful make-up designed by Stan Winston, sculpted by Tom Woodruff Jr., and applied by Zoltan Elek."

Dekker's lengthy statement also included some memories from their time working on "The Monster Squad" ... before ending with, "he was the proverbial gentleman and scholar, and the world has lost a great talent. R.I.P. Tom. Thanks for the great work."

Shia LaBeouf was back in the French Quarter, on Bourbon Street, for another night of debauchery after his arrest Mardis Gras morning ... and pretended he wasn't famous as fellow partiers approached him!

Check out the footage of him from fellow Mardi Gras attendees in New Orleans -- the former Disney star is super nonchalant as he's approached by a streamer ... and claims he's not anyone famous. Yet, he's got no problem talking to the thrilled fans eager to get a word in with him.

In other video, he's happily waving his release papers as he vibes with the crowd. Court docs obtained by TMZ confirm he was released from jail on his own recognizance ... which means he was let out of the clink without paying bail.
