Paul Salem -- a wealthy businessman and Chairman of the Board of MGM Resorts International -- has his eye on Nicole Kidman ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell us Salem is romantically pursuing the Oscar-winning actress ... though we're told they are not dating at this point. Our sources say the two share mutual friends, are acquaintances, and have met twice in group settings.

We're told so far, there have been no one-on-one hangouts ... at least not yet. Still, our sources say it's fair to say Paul is interested and making that known to people close to him.

Billy Steinberg -- the legendary songwriter behind Madonna’s smash hit "Like a Virgin" -- has died at age 74 after a battle with cancer, TMZ has confirmed.

His death Monday was confirmed by his attorney, Laurie Soriano.

Steinberg’s career took off early with his bands Billy Thermal and i-Ten ... the latter was formed with songwriting partner Tom Kelly. But it was their collaboration on "Like a Virgin" that cemented Billy's place in music history, with the song spending six straight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has just confirmed all of Nancy Guthrie's family members have been cleared as possible suspects in her disappearance.

Nanos released a statement Monday, saying, "To be clear ... the Guthrie family -- to include all siblings and spouses -- has been cleared as possible suspects in this case. The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case."

He continued ... "To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple."

TMZ has received a 4th email from the man claiming to know who kidnapped Nancy Guthrie and where she is ... and we have a proposition for that person.

The email -- with the same bitcoin account as the other 3 notes -- says in part, "I know what I saw 5 days ago south of the border and I was told to shut up so I know who he is and that was definitely Nancy with them."

This is the second reference he's made to there being more than one person involved in the purported abduction. In the third letter, received by TMZ on Friday, he said, "... be prepared to go International."

Singer and "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Kandi Burruss chatted with us about her first Valentine's Day since splitting from her estranged husband Todd Tucker ... intervening before her mom could hijack her interview!

While our photog waited for Kandi, it was Mama Joyce who got to our camera first ... so we asked for her thoughts on the divorce news.

Kandi quickly rushed to usher her mom off to their waiting vehicle ... but Mama Joyce managed to cram in one sentence.

Even with Nancy Guthrie still missing, life at her Tucson, Arizona home hasn’t completely stopped ... a landscaper was just spotted showing up and getting straight to work.

A KNXV-TV journalist captured video of the worker pulling up this morning, grabbing tools from his trunk, and heading into the backyard ... walking right past a marked police car, apparently getting the green light despite the ongoing kidnapping investigation.

It’s not the first time routine maintenance has continued either ... pool cleaners were also seen at the home last week, and while it initially raised questions, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told TMZ the family specifically requested the service to keep things maintained.

Donald Trump might’ve been celebrating Presidents Day stateside ... but over in Germany, they were dragging him through the streets -- literally.

Düsseldorf’s infamous "Rose Monday" carnival parade unleashed a brutal procession of Trump mockery ... with massive floats showing Trump caricatures punching Jesus, cozying up to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and even dancing pants-less with a gagged Statue of Liberty with his tongue hanging out.

They did not hold back on the visuals -- another Trump model had his naked rear in the air, with lipstick kisses labeled with various names and organizations -- all exaggerated for maximum effect in front of massive crowds.

Congressman Eric Swalwell was evidently a big fan of erotica in college ... and now we're getting a glimpse of some of what he wrote!

The Daily Mail uncovered a sexually graphic poem penned by the Democrat from California apparently written when he was 19 years old ... and it is wild! Titled "Hungover From Burgundy," the poem describes two lovers who meet at the top of a hotel for "formless and magnificent" sex.

What kind of sex is "formless and magnificent"? Well, in Swalwell's vivid imagination it includes engorged vessels, a "flurry of limbs and nails" ... and a little bit of blood. He's apparently got a thing for biting!

Cleveland Browns safety Ronnie Hickman was jumped by four people at a Manhattan hotel early Monday morning ... but thankfully, despite being hospitalized, he only suffered minor injuries.

The incident occurred around 4:30 AM at the SIXTY LES in the Lower East Side, where the DB was approached by a group of men who apparently realized he played in the NFL.

The confrontation quickly escalated into a physical altercation, sparking a brawl in the hotel lobby. The suspects took off, leaving Hickman with injuries that required a trip to the hospital

The Browns said he was treated for minor injuries and is now resting at home with his family.

10:09 AM PT -- The Pima County Sheriff's Department disputed the report, saying ... "PCSD has never stated that this was a burglary gone wrong. Any reports indicating otherwise are inaccurate. This remains a very active investigation."

There’s a major new development in the Nancy Guthrie case ... authorities now reportedly believe her kidnapping may have stemmed from a burglary gone wrong.

According to AZFamily, citing an inside source, Savannah Guthrie's mother is believed to have been abducted during a botched home invasion -- instead of a carefully planned abduction.

What's more ... the source also tells the outlet there is belief among investigators that Nancy could be alive.

The theory comes on the heels of the FBI's announcement that DNA was recovered from a glove found near the scene ... the glove appears to visually match the gloves worn by the alleged perpetrator. As you know, the masked intruder was caught on a doorbell camera lurking around Nancy's home just before she was abducted on February 1.

Cardi B, for the first time, is publicly acknowledging that she and Stefon Diggs are dunzo ... while at the same time, sticking up for the Patriots star wideout in a big way, after rapper BIA took a shot at him this weekend!

Not up on your rap beef? Cardi -- currently at the start of her big "Little Miss Drama Tour" -- and BIA have drama that goes back years. But, if anyone thought Cardi's split from Stefon signalled it was open season to trash the football player, she made it crystal clear that ain't the case.

"Can u name someone with more bms than receiving yards? I can! and I know that… ykwnvm," BIA wrote on social media, obviously taking a dig at Diggs.

Cardi, who had a baby with SD in November, responded, but not immediately, waiting until she hit the stage in Los Angeles Sunday night.
