'The Bachelorette' Contestant Lincoln Adim Convicted Indecent Assault and Battery
1:36 PM PT -- A law enforcement source tells us ... during the alleged incident, Lincoln grabbed the woman's hands and placed them on his own chest and stomach. We're told he then allegedly groped her breasts and grinded up on the woman. It all happened on a ship called Spirit of Boston.
A contestant on the new season of "The Bachelorette" -- who's still in contention -- became a convicted criminal charged with a sex crime just a week before the premiere.
Law enforcement sources in Suffolk County, NY tell TMZ Lincoln Adim was convicted of indecent assault and battery on May 21 from an incident that occurred in 2016. Adim was accused of groping and assaulting a woman on a cruise that year.
Crazy enough, his sentence was handed down right before the new season aired on May 28. Adim was sentenced to a year behind bars, with that term being suspended for a two-year probationary period. He also has to stay away from the victim, and attend 3 AA meetings per week for those 2 years.
If he doesn't comply with the judge's terms, he'd have to serve out a year in jail. If he does ... he can avoid that. Oh, and he's also expected to register as a sex offender.
Adim has not been eliminated 3 weeks into the reality show. He's still among the remaining men and vying for Becca Kufrin's hand in marriage ... no biggie, right?

Hailey made for a quick escape into their waiting car, but Biebs was super friendly -- talking to fans, photogs -- and even taking a trip down memory lane with some locals.
The two, who dated briefly in 2015, were first spotted back together in Miami over the weekend. Looks like they can't quit each other now that their romance has moved to the Big Apple.

We're told Nick introduced Priyanka to his older brother, Kevin, and his wife, Danielle. Yeah, ya know it's beyond just banging when family meet-and-greets are going down.

Blake Griffin Shirtless Stroll With New Girl?? ... AB-solutely
Blake Griffin was Mali-boo'd up with his new girl on Sunday ... ditching his shirt for a cuddly walk together in Malibu.

There was more of the good stuff during their quality time on Sunday ... with the 2 sharing a smooch after getting back to Blake's car.
23-year-old Aiello is the first girl Blake's been photographed out in public with since his split with Kendall Jenner ... but, by the looks of it, he ain't thinkin' about her anymore.
FYI -- Aiello's a Malibu native ... so no word on whether she's gearing up for a cold winter in Detroit or if it's just a little summer fling.
Either way ... good for these guys.

The Biebs and Hailey were spotted hanging out down in M-I-A on Sunday ... first hitting up a church conference before chowin' down at the ritzy Casa Tua, and then hitting up LIV Nightclub at Fontainebleau.
Our sources say Justin and Hailey walked in together around 1 AM ... where they hung out on a VIP balcony, held hands and danced together. They were definitely not trying to keep things on the DL ... showing plenty of PDA for all to see.
Justin goofed around a bit too ... busting out the Floss dance as the crowd cheered him on.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
We're told Hailey and Justin left the club around 3 AM holding hands.
As we first reported, Hailey was the reason Justin and Selena Gomez ended up in couples therapy back in December -- after he tried to clear the air with Hailey about their brief relationship.

Olivia Culpo & Danny Amendola Back Together ... Months After Split
Olivia Culpo and Danny Amendola just can't quit each other, it seems -- they were spotted back together over the weekend, showing off major PDA ... TMZ has learned.
The recently broken up couple were very much not so at a friend's wedding Saturday in Houston, where we're told Danny was in the wedding party. Sources tell us Olivia came as Danny's date, and that they were doing lots of kissing, hugging, and hand-holding.
Keep in mind ... they split up less than 3 months ago. Olivia told Access Hollywood in March that the two had in fact gone their separate ways, and that it was fresh and hard for her to talk about. Danny was on a similar tip a few days later, offering no comment.
It appears Olivia tried the whole single thing out for a minute -- she's been spotted out on the town with her girlfriends on a number of occasions since the break up. And we're guessing Danny did the same on his end as well.
Why give up a good thing, right?

Nick Jonas & Priyanka Chopra Come Fly with Me ...
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra either don't care if people know they're banging ... or they're just really awful at hiding it.
Nick and the "Quantico" star arrived together at JFK on Friday headed off to who-knows-where -- but, one thing's for sure, this is a damn good looking couple ... even if they won't admit it.
Dating rumors started last year when they arrived together at the 2017 Met Gala, but she brushed it off ... claiming they were only posing together because they were wearing the same designer.
They also hit up a Dodger game together just a couple weeks ago.
Maybe they're rocking the same designer again as they jet off -- but something tells us they're whispering something hotter than fashion tips to each other.
Just sayin' ...

Sofia Richie and Scott Disick aren't over yet -- despite multiple reports saying otherwise, and a photo of Scott cozying up with another chick last week ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the couple tell us Sofia and Scott have not broken up, and are still very much together -- contrary to what other outlets are reporting ... that they'd supposedly split.
We're told Sofia certainly wasn't happy with the photo of Scott getting handsy with a mystery chick at Kanye's album listening party Thursday night in Wyoming -- but she hasn't pulled the plug on their relationship. As for Scott and that girl ... they're just pals.
Sources say Scott has known the woman for years, and that holding her at the party was nothing sexual ... and only lasted a few minutes. They also did not go home together. Regarding him telling people at the party he was single ... we're told that was the booze talking.
Long story short ... Scott and Sofia are still an item. So, don't count 'em out quite yet.

Nick Diaz Out with New Chick After Dom. Violence Arrest
Nick Diaz isn't letting his domestic violence case get in the way of meeting new women -- the UFC star was out in Vegas this weekend getting hot and heavy with a new lady ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Diaz hit up XS Nightclub at the Encore Hotel on Saturday night -- where our sources spotted Nick kissing a new mystery lady right in front of everybody!!
Unclear if they're dating or if they were just having a fun night.
We're told this is NOT the woman who accused Diaz of domestic violence.
As we previously reported, Diaz was arrested a few weeks ago after another woman -- who told police she had been in a sexual relationship with Diaz for years -- claimed Diaz attacked and choked her at a Vegas home.
Diaz has not issued a statement about the arrest -- but multiple people in his camp have said the allegations are B.S.

Kendall Jenner & Ben Simmons Dating an NBA Player ... It's Like Riding a Bike
It's been about six months since Kendall Jenner was linked to a rumored NBA BF, but as her biking date with Ben Simmons shows ... you never forget how to date one of 'em.
Kendall was seen getting her ride on this weekend with the 76ers star point guard -- on a bicycle, folks ... relax. Eyewitnesses tell us they were cruising near The Grove in West Hollywood Sunday -- and we gotta say ... Kendall looks like the pro out of the two.
She's got solid form, AND she's got a purse on her, too, which looks perfectly in sync with her body. Much improved from 2016, when she ate s*** riding down a dirt road.
Ben, meanwhile, looks a little too big for his own bike here ... perhaps struggling to peddle, even. The dude is like 6'10", though ... maybe raise the seat next time, yeah?
Either way, it's nice to see Kendall switch up the activity for her 3rd NBA pal. Can't say we ever saw her hit the outdoors like this with Blake Griffin, or Jordan Clarkson either.
Ben must be special.

Kendall & Ben Simmons Double Date ... with Another NBA Star
Well, it's official ... Ben Simmons is 100% hanging with Kendall Jenner -- because they hit up Nice Guy in West Hollywood together on Wednesday night -- on a double date with another NBA star.
It's funny because Ben and Kendall hit up one of the most paparazzi-packed places in town -- but arrived separately so the photogs couldn't get a shot of them together.
FYI, Kendall left the restaurant around 10:45 PM to make it look like she was leaving ... but snuck back inside to hang with Ben. They both REALLY left together around 1 AM.
Still, everyone knew the jig ... especially when they left and both got into the same SUV -- along with Kylie's BFF, Jordyn Woods, who was hanging with 21-year-old rising star Devin Booker.
Of course, everybody stayed mum when we asked about relationship status -- and Ben's situation with ex-GF Tinashe ... but it's obvious the dating rumors are true.
As we previously reported, Ben and Kendall had dinner earlier this week in Bev Hills and, at the time, Kendall was trying to hide her face ... but it's clear, they're ready to go public now.
