Vasana Montgomery -- one of the announced cast members for season 8 of "Love Island USA" -- has already been kicked off the show ... TMZ has learned, after allegedly using a racial slur.

Here's the deal ... videos surfaced online which appear to show the contestant from Beaverton, Oregon using the n-word.

In one clip, Montgomery appears to say it while rapping along to a song ... while, in another, she yells it out while her friend is playing an arcade game.

Mackenzie Shirilla's clearly keeping Dominic Russo and Davion Flanagan close to her ... but not always in the most flattering way -- because she appears to be mocking their musicality in a prison phone call.

We've obtained audio from a call between Shirilla and her friends, Rosie Graham and Faith, in which she laments paying for a music streaming service while behind bars.

Mackenzie says the service is terrible ... untalented underground artists who at one point she describes as the "Davions and Doms of the world."

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Jordan Ngatikaura's embracing the single life with both lips ... because we've got video of him smooching a mystery woman.

Check out the video taken on May 10 ... which shows Jordan all over a woman -- enjoying a passionate embrace.

They're totally wrapped up in one another ... not caring they're engaged in a VERY public display of affection.

Rick Ross may still be beefing with Drake, but that didn't stop him from running through all their biggest collaborations during the opening night of his new tour.

The rapper kicked off his 17-city "Port of Miami" anniversary tour Thursday night at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, celebrating 20 years since the release of his debut album -- however, while fans know the relationship between Ross and Drake has been rocky lately, you wouldn't have guessed it would make the setlist.

RR was doing hit after hit at the show ... including songs he's collaborated with the Iceman on throughout the night.

After the concert, we asked Ross whether he had ever considered cutting Drake's parts out of the songs, given their public fallout, and Ross told us he simply goes with whatever the DJ plays during the set and doesn't spend time editing or removing parts from the records.

Mackenzie Shirilla is already thinking about life after prison ... and it sounds like she's got big plans for what might come next.

Take a listen ... TMZ obtained audio of Mackenzie chatting with her mom, Natalie, about  her future and a potential new purpose she sees for herself ... becoming a life coach.

Natalie tells her daughter she's been through an incredible amount and suggests those experiences could one day allow her to help others. Mackenzie, who is serving two concurrent sentences of 15 years to life, seems to embrace the idea.

Deion Sanders is a Hall of Famer in the present department ... 'cause Karrueche Tran tells TMZ Sports she was certainly feeling the love on her birthday earlier this month.

We caught up with the stunning 38-year-old out at LAX recently ... and had to ask if the Colorado Buffaloes coach got her anything special for her big day.

While she didn't spill any specifics, Tran was clearly thrilled with her man's gestures ... as she referred to him as a "great" gift giver.

Amanda Serrano isn't just one of the best boxers in the world, she's also an MMA fighter ... and she's interested in returning to the cage -- and she has a big name opponent in mind!

Clive Davis -- the music mogul who molded the careers of Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Kelly Clarkson -- is hospitalized ... TMZ has learned.

A spokesperson for Clive tells TMZ ... he was admitted to a New York City hospital Friday evening. We're told he is suffering from an upper respiratory infection and out of an abundance of caution he was admitted to the hospital.

His spokesperson says he is expected to be released in the next 24 hours.

Clive, who is famous for his Grammy parties, has battled health issues before ... in February 2021 he was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy.

For the young kids out there ... Clive is a HUGE deal in the music biz. On top of discovering Whitney, he also founded Bad Boy Records with Sean "Diddy" Combs.

George Lucas's ex-wife Marcia Lucas, an unsung hero of 'Star Wars' who has been called the original film's "secret weapon," is dead ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for the family tells TMZ ... Marcia died on Wednesday from metastatic cancer. We're told she passed peacefully at her home in Rancho Mirage, CA surrounded by loved ones.

Marcia is best known for editing "Star Wars" and "Return of the Jedi" ... earning an Academy Award in 1977 for Best Film Editing for the OG film.

Mackenzie Shirilla's legal troubles weren't the focus of one particular jail call with her mom ... her booty was.

In a recording obtained by TMZ, Mackenzie and her mother, Natalie, spend part of a conversation laughing over comments Mackenzie received after one of her court appearances ... with a friend apparently fixated on how she looked rather than what was happening in the courtroom.

Take a listen to the exchange ... Mackenzie reads a message from a woman named Kendra, who says she watched a livestream of the proceedings and immediately noticed something different when Mackenzie walked in.

Celeste Beard Johnson saw red when she was getting grilled behind bars ... to the point that she freaked out on interviewer David Scott.

In a clip from the upcoming season 4 finale of "Interview with a Killer," you can see her start to shake when he accuses her of living in an "alternate reality."

As David's talking, Celeste -- who's serving a life sentence over the death of her late husband, Steven Beard -- gets so mad that she hangs up and turns around ... declaring to the guard that she's done with the conversation. But it doesn't end there ...

Matt Brown's brother was seen talking with police near the Washington river where an unidentified man disappeared as authorities continue searching for answers in the mystery surrounding the former "Alaskan Bush People" star's whereabouts ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Gabe Brown was seen at the river location Thursday speaking with authorities. We're told law enforcement first spoke with Gabe on Wednesday as part of its ongoing investigation.

We broke the story ... sources told us last week Gabe is the only family member who occasionally still communicates with Matt, though we're told their contact is rare.

2:36 PM -- A judge has granted the temporary protective order.

Kris Jenner and her famous family say they're living in fear of a man they claim has spent years trying to get close to them ... and now they're asking a judge to step in and order him to keep his distance.

According to new court documents, obtained by TMZ, Kris has filed for a temporary restraining order against Kyle Robert DeWick -- a Colorado man she describes as a "stalker" with "no relationship whatsoever" to her or her family.

Kris claims DeWick has been fixated on the Kardashian-Jenner clan for years and believes he has an obsession with Kylie Jenner. Kris says DeWick has repeatedly attempted to contact family members, shown up near their homes, and recently tried to gain access to properties owned by or located near the family.

The one-handed woman who went viral after a police officer ticketed her for driving while using her phone with a hand she doesn't have says the cop doesn't need to apologize ... he just needs training!

TMZ caught up with the trailblazer, Florida resident Katie Thomas, after her case was dismissed this week for lack of evidence ... and she tells TMZ the unnamed officer has nothing to apologize for. Instead, she thinks he just needs some practice with people with limb differences and other disabilities. But, she knows you can only lead a horse to the water, and says he needs to yearn to learn.

Katie also gives us insight into why she believes the officer insisted she was using her phone in her right hand despite being shown she doesn't have one ... it's all in the clip.

Mackenzie Shirilla hasn't been a model prisoner in her last few years behind bars ... at least according to prison officials, who say she's committed a number of rule violations -- including several of a sexual nature.

We've obtained conduct reports about a bunch of alleged rule violations during Shirilla's time behind bars ... including altering prison clothes and possessing contraband.

For example, officials say they caught Shirilla with a prescription medication that wasn't hers in January 2025 ... as well as "a personal photo of herself containing drug use." In her statement on the incident, cops say Shirilla told them the photo didn't have drug use in it -- and insisted the pills they found with her were actually prenatal vitamins she got from someone else.

Swing and a miss for Bill Cosby ... he struck out in his attempt at a second chance to defend himself from Donna Motsinger's rape allegations.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Cosby's motion for a new trial has been denied.

The disgraced comedian filed the motion last month, asking a judge for a new trial after a jury ordered him to pay Motsinger nearly $60 Million in total damages ... the judge's ruling came down Friday, and it's not the result Cosby was looking for.
