Rita Ora's days on the Greek Isles might be over, but admiring her sexy shots all over the region doesn't have to be ... we've got ya covered.

The singer/actress looks to be having the time of her life in Corfu Island, Greece ... swapping in and out her skimpiest bikinis for the 'Gram. Sounds like she's ready to pack her bags, though, and head home ... based on an IG post.

Rita described the trip, saying ... "Best few weeks with the best people in my happy place." She was vacationing with friends and family and said she's especially grateful to be able to do so "during these times."

That line -- a reference to the pandemic -- kinda stings for Americans, because the EU still isn't so keen on U.S. tourists due to our rising COVID-19 numbers.

So, for now, Rita is really #vacationgoals for us. Check out the slew of swimwear she was rocking over there. She brought plenty for the pool, for yachts and swims in the Mediterranean Sea.

Kate Upton, Olivia Culpo ... and now Reagan Howard?!

Alex Bregman's fiancee is hoping to follow in the footsteps of legendary Sports Illustrated Swimsuit models ... announcing Monday she's officially gunning to be in the 2021 SI Swim mag!

Howard just entered the publication's annual search for undiscovered models ... saying she's been "dreaming" of being in the mag ever since she saw Bar Refaeli on a cover years ago.

"I started modeling when I was about 17 years old and faced a ton of rejection for the size of my body," said Howard, who got engaged to the Houston Astros' star 3rd baseman back in January.

"I would love to be on SI because I believe in the brand and I believe in what it represents," Howard added. "And, you guys empower women from all over the place to be as they are and to be multi-dimensional. Which I absolutely love."

Howard went on to say that she's personally inspired by Camille Kostek ... who gained SI Swim fame after being discovered in the mag's 2018 open casting call.

"Here’s to breaking molds and being you," Howard said, "no matter how many different things that may be."

Of course, another famous WAG -- Matt Kalil's wife, Haley Kalil -- also got her SI Swim breakthrough in the brand's 2019 open audition as well.

Could Howard be next? Winners won't be announced for months ... but the resume sure looks bulletproof to us!

Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia was only 22 years old when she shot to stardom after she released her first single, "Torn," which topped the Hot 100 Airplay in the fall of 1997 and opened the doors for her debut album, "Left of the Middle" ... and even scored her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Since Natalie Imbruglia's breakthrough record, she's gone on to release a long list of artistic music, model for brands like L'Oreal, a judge on the Aussie X-Factor ... but her greatest accomplishment was in 2019 with the birth of her son, Max.

C-Murder is singing Kim Kardashian's praises now that she's pledged to help get him outta prison ... the incarcerated rapper says she's an angel who gives him hope.

C-Murder just broke his silence on Kim joining his fight for freedom, saying KK and his ex-girlfriend, Monica, are angels sent by God.

In a message from behind the walls of the Louisiana State Penitentiary, where C-Murder is serving a life sentence after being convicted in the 2002 fatal shooting of a 16-year-old fan at a Louisiana nightclub, CM says he's focusing on his blessings ... namely, Kim devoting resources to try and get his 2009 conviction overturned.

C-Murder says he called his ex 7 months ago and that's when Monica started to get Kim involved, unbeknownst to him. C-Murder says he can finally sleep knowing Kim and Monica are fighting for his freedom.

Master P's been fighting for his brother ... lobbying President Obama and trying to get a new jury to look at the case ... but now KK is trying to do for C-Murder what she did for Alice Marie Johnson.

As we reported ... Kim pledged to get involved with C-Murder's case Sunday, noting evidence is now in question and eyewitnesses have recanted testimony pinning him to the crime he was convicted of committing. Jurors were also allegedly pressured to vote guilty.

Michelle Obama's ready to throw her full support behind Joe Biden in front of millions of screens ... calling him a decent man while taking thinly veiled shots at President Trump.

The DNC just released a portion of the former First Lady's speech for Monday night's Democratic National Convention. She pretaped it, because remember ... it's all virtual this year ... and in the clip, she praises Biden as a man of faith who will tell the truth and trust science.

She never says Trump's name, but the references are clear -- the Prez is frequently accused of not believing scientists, like Dr. Anthony Fauci or Dr. Deborah Birx ... accused of lying, and absurdly said Joe Biden wanted to "hurt God."

Michelle's used to taking center stage at the DNC ... she was there just 4 years ago, and delivered a rousing speech stumping for Hillary Clinton.

You'll recall Michelle made these words famous at the 2016 convention -- "When they go low, we go high." Remains to be seen if she'll drop another anthem in this year's speech.

Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, is expected to address the DNC tonight -- and a former senior administration official under Trump endorsed Biden today, saying he'd seen Trump do "terrifying" things as Chief Executive.

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo, former Presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Sen. Bernie Sanders are all expected to take the stage too.

BTW ... Eva Longoria is hosting tonight's online DNC festivities.

Dallas Grant, the Black child who had to face an allegedly blatant act of discrimination ... is now taking it to the streets with other kids who are fed up with racism.

The 9-year-old activist held a children's march Monday in Baltimore, outside the Ouzo Bay restaurant he was blocked from eating at a few months ago. You'll recall, an Ouzo staffer sent Dallas and his mom packing because he was wearing basketball shorts, sneakers and a T-shirt -- very much like a white kid who had been allowed entry.

His mother, Marcia, tells TMZ about 70 people showed up in solidarity to march with Dallas, and a lot of them had custom shirts specially made for the cause. As you can see, even though it was a relatively small crowd ... they were still fired up and loud as heck.

Marcia says the point of the protest was to show kids and youth that their voices matter -- and that they too can fight against systemic racism, despite their young age. She tells us she still wants the restaurant group that operates Ouzo to admit what they did to her boy.

As for Dallas, we're told he feels he's making a difference ... and is happy with the turnout, despite the fact some of the patrons they encountered didn't seem too pleased with their demonstration. In fact, one woman even gave them the finger and complained to a waiter.

As we reported ... this isn't the end of Marcia and Dallas' crusade against this company -- they've already filed a lawsuit and are seeking damages, claiming the kid was traumatized.

As for Atlas Group -- which runs Ouzo and other chain restaurants in town -- they denied they were discriminating or being racist but did apologize for the initial encounter ... saying they fired some staffers over bad judgment.

Kanye West's wheels are turning about his next big project, and he thinks he's on to something huge ... JESUS TOK.

The rapper and presidential candidate says he was perusing some content on TikTok with his daughter and "as a Christian father" ... he was disturbed by some of the stuff he saw.

But, Ye says he loves the tech, and he's had a vision -- a Christian version of TikTok.

Kanye says he's praying he can collaborate with the insanely popular social media platform to create a more kid and Christian-friendly outlet ... "in Jesus name amen."

It's unclear if the rapper also plans to go back and make more PG-related versions of his tracks -- for instance 2018's "I Love It," which features the lyrics "They had to fake orgasms and sh*t" and "You're such a f***in' ho, I love it."

Ye doesn't address the sometimes sexy content on his wife's social media accounts either, but if he wants to go that route ... JESUS GRAM might work.

As we reported ... Kanye recently revived his Sunday Service up at his ranch in Wyoming, so clearly the Lord is on his mind.

Here's something Wendy's workers don't see everyday -- a customer going so HAM at the drive-thru, he climbed right through the window ... and now he's a wanted man.

The bizarre incident went down earlier this month at a Wendy's in Tampa and surveillance footage shows a man forcing his way through the drive-thru window and wreaking havoc.

As you can see, the guy leaned halfway through the window and started tossing cups and hurling trays. He even briefly had a hold of the cash drawer, but it slipped through his fingers as the Wendy's cavalry arrived to force him back outside.

The guy was still pissed, though, and continued pounding on the glass as friends tried to calm him down before he drove away ... pretty damn hangry, we're willing to bet.

The Hillsborough County Sheriffs Office says a Wendy's employee told deputies the man and his passengers became belligerent while placing their order. They've already figured out he was in a rental car, and cops say the rental company's filed a failure-to-return complaint.

Kylie Jenner's under fire for allegedly identifying herself as a person of color in a photo caption, but she's denying ever writing any such thing online.

The beauty mogul is taking major heat for the post that went up Sunday, and currently has the caption, "brown eyed girl." But, some Internet folks are claiming that caption is edited, and originally said, "brown skinned girl." Huge difference.

Sources close to Kylie insist she never wrote it, plain and simple. We're told the caption was always "brown eyed girl," and that the other caption making the rounds online is simply a doctored image circulated by trolls. Her camp is firm -- she never changed it at all.

Of course, this wouldn't be an issue if you weren't allowed to edit captions on IG -- like you can't on Twitter -- but you can, and a lot of people claim they saw the 'skinned' line first.

What's likely making doubters/haters skeptical is the fact Kylie is sometimes accused of cultural appropriation -- a lot of the Kardashians are, frankly -- and that magnifying glass is on her again ... no doubt, because she was featured in Cardi B's immensely popular "WAP" music video.

Folks thought the cameo should've gone to a Black girl -- like Jordyn Woods, for example -- and that putting Kylie in was giving her more exposure than she needs or deserves.

That debate's raging on, but on the "brown" caption issue, Kylie's peeps say there's no debate ... 'cause it didn't happen.

MC Lyte's marriage has hit the ultimate ruff patch ... because the old school hip-hop icon is calling it quits.

Lyte, one of rap's female pioneers, filed divorce docs in L.A. Monday, just 3 years after her marriage to Marine Corp veteran and entrepreneur, John Wyche.

As for the reason for the split ... officially, according to docs, it's the classic irreconcilable differences.

The couple wed at a beach resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica back in August 2017. The "Ruffneck" rapper said they met on Match.com and the relationship took off from there ... but it probably didn't last long enough for the dating site to brag about it.

Louis Tomlinson's crib is back on the market and it's definitely heading in one direction ... down, 'cause the price has been slashed again.

The 1D singer has re-listed his marvelous L.A. crib for a cool $6,750,000. The 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom crib sits on around 4,000-square-feet of living space. Louis originally bought the house back in 2016 for $7.3 million and listed it last year for $6.9. He eventually took it off the market and is bringing it back at this reduced price on Homes.com.

The Art Deco home features a screening room, wine cellar, decorative mirrored doors and not one ... not two ... but THREE freakin' luxury guest suites -- and yet, it still wasn't snapped up last year.

The best part of the place has to be the huge terrace, firepit and infinity-edge pool. Seriously, if you're looking for great views -- of downtown L.A. and the Hollywood sign -- this is the joint!

One Australian cop can now say he does his own stunts -- because that's exactly what it looked like as he went flying through the air trying to stop a guy who allegedly jacked a car.

A Victoria police officer got roped into an action movie scene late last week in Melbourne, while attempting to detain a man who cops say was making an escape in a stolen car -- allegedly, because he was breaking the country's stage four lockdown restrictions.

The man didn't wanna talk though, and according to authorities ... hopped into this whip and tried driving off. This one cop wasn't about to let him off easy, as he tried yanking the dude out through the driver side, but things went left when they started going in reverse.

Because of his position on the door, the officer was flung back when the car hit another one behind it on impact. His body was thrown at least 10 feet or so, and he hits a parked car incredibly hard before springing back up and continuing to give chase to the getaway driver.

London Bridge might be falling down, but so is this man after getting his clock cleaned for spewing racist crap in public.

Check out this one-hitter-quitter that went down over the weekend on a train in the London Underground metro system, where this white guy was mouthing off to three Black youths ... for no apparent reason. He starts out as simply bigoted, but eventually turns full racist.

Watch ... the man's going off about this being "my home" in an incoherent tirade. He's arguing with the one guys off-screen, who's asking what his name is and where he's getting off. Soon, the instigator brings up race, saying with derision ... "You're black."

People around him ask what that has to do with anything, and he shooshes them ... firing back, "This is popular." You can tell he's getting a kick out of riling everyone up too.

The video then cuts to the three Black dudes getting off at their stop, and as they pass the white man -- who's got his fists balled up, ready to fight -- one the young'ns swings on him and connects with his jaw, sending the guy flying back and landing hard on the ground.

Joe Biden's crash course in Cardi B is complete, and now you can decide if he passed after their sit down covering race, healthcare and uhh ... that "big chunk of taxes" out of our checks!!!

It's almost a rite of passage -- for Democrat Presidential candidates, anyway -- a campaign chat with Cardi, this one for Elle, and she gave Joe an earful. He started out with flattery and then asked what's her main issue heading into the vote.

Welp ... Biden got more than 2 minutes of her issues -- including education, social justice and childcare -- complete with some okurrrrs! Seriously, Cardi's sound effects seemed to throw him off a bit (go to 3:55).

He's just lucky "W.A.P." didn't come up ... that woulda been a moment.

The fact the presumptive Democratic candidate spent 15+ minutes chatting with Cardi -- the day the Democratic National Convention opens -- makes it clear Biden's campaign sees the reach and influence she has. Remember, she also grilled Sen. Bernie Sanders ... so, she's becoming an important campaign stop.

As for Biden ... he and Cardi spent a lot of time talking about racial equality, but she also slipped in a jab about taxes. Y'know, she's famously gotten heated about where her tax dollars are going -- so pay attention to her final question.

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez won't have a problem borrowing a cup of sugar from their new Star Island neighbors, because folks there are welcoming them with open arms ... and happy bank accounts.

We broke the story ... the power couple just scooped up a $40 million waterfront estate on Miami's super-exclusive island 'hood, and our sources there say the locals might be more excited about it than J Lo and A-Rod.

We're told current Star Island residents believe J-Rod's arrival will bring back the lure, luster and celeb status the area's been lacking lately ... and, therefore, send property values soaring to new heights.

It's interesting because some major A-listers still call Star Island home -- Diddy and Gloria Estefan come to mind -- but others have sold and moved away in recent years ... like Shaq and Rosie O'Donnell.

So, our sources say J Lo and A-Rod more than fill that void while bringing even more glamour than ever ... along with a nice wholesome ambiance with their blended family.

We're told the other stars on the Island will also be thrilled if the soon-to-be-wed couple ended up paying the asking price of $40 mil ... because, once again, it's great for everyone's bottom line.

There are still 2 properties for sale on the island, and rumor has it ... Jeff Bezos is eyeing both of them.

Sharon Stone has had 2 family members die from COVID-19 and her sister is now in the hospital fighting for her life ... and Sharon lays a lot of the blame on Donald Trump, the man she calls a killer.

COVID has ravaged Stone's family, many of whom live in Montana. Her grandmother and godmother both died from coronavirus, and her sister -- who has Lupus and a weak immune system -- is hospitalized with COVID and fighting for her life. The sister's husband is also hospitalized with COVID.

Sharon says her mom has had all sorts of health issues and surgeries, but she's asymptomatic for COVID so she can't get a test ... which is creating unbearable stress.

Sharon is angry ... angry at someone who didn't wear a mask and spread the virus to her sister. She's angry at Montana's governor and state health officials who have been unresponsive. And, she's angry at Trump, who she squarely blames for her circumstances and other families enduring similar grief. She ends with a plea to vote Biden/Harris.
