Karamo Brown is opening up about a painful plastic surgery ordeal for the first time -- after years of fans speculating about changes to his appearance.

The "Queer Eye" star revealed he underwent buccal fat removal in 2021 after gaining 70 pounds during the pandemic ... but says the procedure left him with chronic pain caused by scar tissue that blocked his saliva glands.

Karamo said the buildup made it painful to smile and left his cheeks swollen with saliva and scar tissue -- a problem that became even harder to manage while filming his now-canceled daytime talk show he had launched back in 2022.

Shakira has been through her fair share of storms -- including a high-profile split from her ex Gerard Piqué and issues over alleged tax debt -- but she says these days, she's realizing she's a lot stronger than she ever gave herself credit for.

Fresh off her victory in a years-long tax battle, and years after ending her long-term relationship, the singer revealed in a new interview with People that she always viewed herself as fragile and weak ... only for life to prove otherwise.

The "Aquaman" star ditched his top while joining his band, ÖOF TATATÁ, for a sound check at The Red Dog in Pioneertown ... and if the abs didn't grab your attention, his guitar skills probably did.

Rumer Willis’ ex and baby daddy is firing back against Demi Moore's claim he's aggressive ... amid his and Rumer's ongoing custody battle over their 3-year-old, Louetta.

As we previously reported -- the 'Substance' star claimed in court docs that Derek Richard Thomas "appears to want to dictate and control Rumer’s environment" and has "absolutely no respect, care, concern, compassion or support toward anyone, especially Rumer and the baby."

But, in new legal docs, he says he's never behaved "aggressively or inappropriately" and claims Rumer "has launched a coordinated media attack across dozens of outlets" against him. He even flips the script and claims Rumer is the one exploiting their child in sponsored content that has "adult sexual humor," to which he says he never consented.

Lindsay Hubbard blew up on West Wilson during the latest part of the "Summer House" Season 10 reunion ... and it's a hard watch.

In the episode, Amanda Batula shuts down and exits the stage in tears after she can't take the heat from her castmates ... and West just sits there. That is, until Lindsay screams at him to "man up" and chase after his girl.

West, however, isn't sold that's the best move ... arguing that they'll all just attack him for leaving, too. But, Kyle Cooke -- Amanda's estranged hubby -- takes a calm approach to the situation, and his advice encourages West to head on out to check in on Amanda.

The cast is obviously unimpressed by Amanda, saying there are loads of unanswered questions and she can't keep shutting down. Lindsay even compares the situation to her past in the hot seat ... it's all in the clip.

The "Madden NFL 27" cover was revealed on Wednesday ... and this year's athlete in the spotlight is Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams -- painted nails and all!!

The video game giant shared the standard and deluxe versions for its latest installment in the franchise ... and they both highlight the 2024 No. 1 overall pick's signature look.

In the standard copy, the cover shows Williams winding up a mid-air throw over the Windy City skyline ... and the deluxe option has him doing his "Iceman" celebration with custom nail art inspired by Chicago, the Bears, and EA Sports.

Not only is Williams the first Bears player to get the nod ... it's safe to say he's the first cover athlete to rock painted nails, too -- which is cool, considering the accessory choice has been criticized in the past for not being "masculine" enough for the leader of a football team.
