Love Island

Huda Mustafa isn't sailing back to "Love Island" ... and it sure sounds like the ship has sailed on Louis Russell, too.

We got Huda, who was on Love Island Season 7, on Wednesday and she told us says she's happy, focused, and absolutely not interested in jumping back into the reality TV dating pool ... before delivering a brutally funny status report on her love life.

Spoiler alert ... things are apparently "drier than the Sahara."

"Love Island USA" stars Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe are proving some vacation romances don't last forever ... because the runners-up on the show's 7th season have split ... TMZ has confirmed.

The reality TV couple decided to part ways recently ... about a year after leaving the villa as a couple. PEOPLE was first to report the split.

As for the reason behind the split ... a source told PEOPLE, "The distance between them and their busy schedules made it challenging to maintain their connection. They still remain close friends. They share a deep love and respect for each other and will always support one another whenever possible.”

"Love Island USA" star Kenny Rodriguez is finally addressing the racist text message controversy that erupted after his breakup with fellow star JaNa Craig.

The Season 6 star spoke about the split during a recent interview on "The Journey Podcast" where he confirmed the messages were leaked from a private chat with a friend after he and JaNa called it quits. ... saying he takes "full accountability" for what he wrote, but insists the leaked messages don't reflect who he is.

According to Kenny, one of the messages included a broad generalization that he now regrets making ... pushing back on the idea that the texts prove he's racist and pointing to his background and dating history.

Kenny puts it like this ... "I've dated Black women before. I have Black ancestry. I'm Dominican. Half of my family is dark skin. There was never a problem with race. The problem was with how you were treating me."

Bryce Alakai and Trinity Tatum wasted no time celebrating their "Love Island USA" victory after returning from Fiji ... 'cause they marked the occasion with a star-studded dinner before Bryce kept the party going from behind the DJ booth.

Bryce's manager, Eric Podwall, hosted the private celebration Wednesday night at The Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood, where about 20 guests gathered for a three-course tasting dinner on the members-only club's private terrace.

The guest list included fellow "Love Island USA" stars Zach and Charlie Georgiou, Kayda Bosse, *NSYNC's JC Chasez and his girlfriend Jennifer HuYoung, "Glee" stars Kevin McHale and Chris Colfer, Patrick Renna from "The Sandlot," and several other cast members from the hit Peacock series.

The "Love Island USA" villa is full of double standards ... at least according to one of the most recent contestants -- who felt she was on the receiving end of sexist attitudes.

Here's the deal ... Kenzie Annis -- who appeared on Season 8 of the hit show -- sat down with Alex Cooper on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast ... and they discussed her costars' reactions to her making out with Corbin while she was coupled up with Caleb, a revelation discovered by the group during the "Movie Night" episode where Islanders watch clips of themselves the audience has seen.

Kenzie was torched for stringing multiple men along ... but when the group found out a male contestant named Sincere Rhea was with two women, Sol and Melanie, at the same time -- and eventually Amora from Casa Amor -- they didn't attack him with nearly the same vigor.

DDG said he's not watching "Love Island" right now ... because it's "gay" to do so alone.

On a stream, he was talking about things he misses from being in a relationship, saying ... "I haven't watched 'Love Island.' You know why? Cuz I don't have anybody to watch it with."

The rapper added ... "I think it's gay to watch 'Love Island' by yourself. If you're a n**** and you're watching 'Love Island' solo, you might be bisexual."

"Love Island USA" star Kenzie Annis and her on-demand splits have people talking this season -- and her parents have come to her defense over criticism that she's seemingly flip-flopped between men on the show.

TMZ spoke to the reality star's parents, Tim and Christy, who say her portrayal on the show isn't totally up to par with the girl they raised, telling TMZ ... "She's a one guy kind of girl, that's all she's ever been."

ICYMI, Kenzie was vibing with Zach when cameras began rolling, until Kayda coupled up with him. That's when she and Corbin got together ... until America voted for her to be in a couple with Caleb.

Alannah Keyser has obviously received a ton of hate since video of her spewing the n-word came out ... but she says a few fans have also stood by her side -- and they keep her going.

The "Love Island USA" Bombshell appeared on "One Night with Steiny" alongside Ray J where she talked about the public's vitriol.

Then she brings up the nice messages she's gotten amid the slur video resurfacing ... insisting to a skeptical Ray J those comments help make her feel better.

Paul Flack -- the older brother of late "Love Island UK" host Caroline Flack -- is dead ... and cops have ruled his death a suicide, just like his sister's.

Paul was found unresponsive in his Norwich, England home on June 21 and was rushed to the hospital, where he ultimately was ruled dead ... according to multiple UK-based outlets, including the Daily Mail and The Independent.

Officials reportedly conducted a provisional post-mortem exam and determined Paul took his own life.

Tierra Davis allegedly beat up a girl years before entering "Love Island USA" … over jealousy involving her ex-boyfriend ... this, according to the girl who ran to court to get protection.

TMZ obtained a 2018 restraining order filed against Tierra by a woman named Shayla Woodard.

According to the court docs, 16-year-old Shayla claimed 17-year-old Tierra threatened to shoot her with a gun after physically assaulting her.

"Love Island UK" just got hit with an unexpected dumping ... but this one came from producers, not the public.

Casa Amor contestant Gabriel Garland has been removed from the hit dating show after producers became aware of his connection to a 2019 stabbing case in London.

Garland reportedly was never charged with a crime, nor was he found to have committed any wrongdoing -- which may be why the show's producers didn't discover the connection sooner.

Adele was rolling in the deep of the Bad Bunny crowd ... and loving every second.

The singer was living it up Saturday night at Benito's sold-out show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London alongside fiancé Rich Paul -- and videos show Adele putting her performing hiatus momentarily on pause and going nuts singing along to his music.

Watch the clip ... Adele is all smiles as she danced in an England soccer jersey ... singing along, throwing her hands in the air, and even swiping a fan's hat.

"Love Island USA" contestant Alannah Keyser is speaking out after being removed from the Peacock dating series following resurfaced footage and social media posts that sparked major backlash online.

Keyser took to TikTok shortly after being booted from the Villa to address the controversy. She explains the video in question is "six years old," adding that the language used is something she no longer uses today, saying plainly "It’s no longer in my vocabulary" while apologizing to those who were offended by her actions.

Keyser also pushed back on how she’s being portrayed on the show, suggesting the edit may not reflect her full experience in the villa, with the caption saying "remember that reality tv is HEAVILY edited & my chats/kisses with the other boys were unfortunately not aired."

Oprah Winfrey's in hot water for sharing a secret Whitney Houston tale, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce countdown to their wedding, plus the music world mourns Clive Davis ... and "Love Island USA" boots another Islander over the n-word. So, we gotta ask ...

Alannah Keyser's time on "Love Island USA" has come to an end.

Peacock confirmed to TMZ ... Keyser will no longer be on the show after Thursday night's episode. The news comes after a video resurfaced allegedly showing her saying the N-word while singing Roddy Ricch's "The Box."

An alleged past Instagram comment attributed to Keyser also appeared to include the racial slur and began circulating online as backlash quickly mounted.
