Aussie reality TV veteran David Genat is living it up on "Deal or No Deal Island" ... and he's dishing on why he hopped over to the U.S. to try to chase down "the biggest prize in TV history!"

David -- AKA "The Golden God" -- spilled the tea on the "Big Down Under" podcast ... saying getting paid to live it up in Panama and compete for a jaw-dropping $10M prize is pretty much the ultimate reality gig!

David also dishes on how this show blows "American Survivor" out of the water, pointing out its $1M prize barely registers after Uncle Sam takes his cut ... especially after "going through hell" to win the show.

Adam22 is swatting down accusations that his "No Jumper" platform led to the arrests of Big U, Bricc Baby, Luce Cannon ... all familiar faces on his podcasts!!!

According to the federal complaint, several comments and recounts made on the "No Jumper" podcast played a significant part in the sweeping raids that led to 18 arrests of Rollin' 60s Neighborhood Crips members, including Big U, who feds say is the ringleader.

Charges include drug trafficking, conspiracy, firearms offenses and bank fraud ... and feds were tipped off from the loose lips on the podcast mics.

Christina Applegate says she's been hospitalized "upwards of 30 times" from throwing up, diarrhea, and excruciating pain ... and she thinks it stems from her MS.

The "Married... with Children" star -- who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2021 -- opened up about her rather crappy experiences on her latest 'MeSsy' podcast episode as she and her cohost Jamie-Lynn Sigler addressed a note from a listener also battling the autoimmune disease and dealing with frequent diarrhea and vomiting.

During the candid discussion, CA admits when she needs to go No. 2, she oftentimes also pukes ... and is certain there's a correlation between her upset stomach and MS, despite doctors not being totally convinced.

Teddi Mellencamp is opening up about her slow realization that she was suffering from brain tumors ... and she says she's had some of the saddest and darkest days since her diagnosis.

The reality TV star dished on the "wild" lead-up to her brain surgery on her "Two Ts in a Pod" podcast, explaining she initially dismissed her symptoms as migraines or menopause.

Teddi says she was at a horse show when she had a terrible migraine, took some of her friend's migraine meds and instantly felt worse ... to the point where she forgot where she was.

Millie Bobby Brown’s all about that liberated vibe -- so much so, she plans to take a page out of her younger self’s book and shave her head when she has her first baby.

In her "Call Her Daddy" interview, Millie admitted she told her husband, Jake Bongiovi, she’d be shaving her head just before she becomes a mom. Why? She doesn’t want her hair getting in the way of all the nurturing she’ll be doing for her baby.

Millie explained that every woman should try shaving their hair off at least once in their life ... though she did admit her first experience with it at such a young age was a bit of a mixed bag.

Kristin Cavallari brought the beach to The Windy City over the weekend when she invited several OG "Laguna Beach" cast members onto the stage during a live taping of her "Let’s Be Honest" podcast.

KC raved about the experience on Insta ... sharing a snap of herself chatting with her former costars Alex Murrel, Jason Wahler, Jess Revans, Lala Olsen and Talan Torriero onstage in Chicago and sending them love in her caption from the taping, which was part of her Headline Tour.

Noticeably missing were Lauren Conrad and Stephen Colletti -- with whom Kristin notoriously had a dramatic love triangle during the show's three seasons.

Joe Rogan's had some controversial guests on his podcast ... but, it looks like he's not planning on making Kanye West one of him -- despite the rapper's claims to the contrary.

Here's the deal ... West shared screenshots that he said were images of talks he's having with Joe about setting up an interview on the host's super successful podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience."

During the chat, this person -- who West claims is Joe -- asks if they can talk about all of the antisemitic remarks Ye has made in recent months ... to which Kanye replies absolutely.

Wendy Williams is making a full court press to end the guardianship she's been under for more than 2 years, and she believes she's found the right guy to do it -- legal wizard Joe Tacopina.

Tacopina was the guest on the "2 Angry Men" podcast with Harvey and Mark Geragos, and he acknowledged Wendy has reached out to him to represent her. Joe hedged a bit, but he made it clear after watching TMZ's Tubi documentary, "Saving Wendy," he's outraged by what he says is a true injustice. As he puts it, murderers have more freedom than Wendy.

In the middle of the podcast, Harvey got a text from someone in Wendy's camp who sent him a new "Vanity Fair" article in which Wendy's guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, spoke to the outlet.

Convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried is spilling the tea on life behind bars ... he's got an unlikely roommate situation, 'cause he’s sharing a cell block with none other than Diddy!

Speaking to Tucker Carlson via video link from Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, the former FTX mogul revealed he’s only seen one side of Diddy -- apparently, the kind one, saying the disgraced entertainment mogul's been nothing but nice to him and other inmates.

SBF added some perspective, saying being stuck in a soul-crushing place like prison is a situation no one wants to be in -- so all they really have is each other, and that's why kindness is key behind bars.

All the talk of celebrities being caught on video participating in Diddy's "Freak-Offs" is BS -- so says Diddy's lawyer, Teny Geragos, who came out swinging on TMZ's "2 Angry Men" podcast.

Geragos flatly told Harvey and her dad, Mark Geragos, no celebs are on any of the tapes seized by the feds during the raids at Diddy's homes.

Likewise, Teny says none of the criminal charges against Diddy involve minors ... something that has gotten a tremendous amount of play in the media. She says the media has gotten this case utterly wrong.

There have been allegations of Diddy sexually abusing minors in civil cases, and Teny has a lot to say about that ... and to say she has disdain for some of the civil lawyers would be a gross understatement.

Bethenny Frankel may need to have it out on her 'Just B' podcast with Alix Earle ... 'cause the popular influencer stood her up for dinner this week -- though Earle says she has a good reason for it.

The reality television star shared the news on her Instagram Friday night ... sharing a "get ready with me" vid to her IG before their scheduled dinner.

She talks about how she linked up with Alix originally before adding she's going to see both her and Braxton Berrios for dinner.

Maitland Ward is spilling the beans on her clash with "Boy Meets World" costar Danielle Fishel now that she’s caught her breath -- and she's telling us she definitely didn’t expect to be cornered like that!

The actress-turned-adult entertainer opened up to TMZ, saying the heated "Pod Meets World" episode wasn’t about DF wanting to truly mend their estrangement, but more about wanting to "give it to her" -- so much so, Maitland says it felt like she suddenly morphed into villainous Regina George.

Catch the video, 'cause Maitland doesn't hold back -- she makes it crystal clear she wasn’t buying any of Danielle’s excuses, like "accidentally" unfriending her on Facebook and leaving her message unread for years.

Danielle Fishel revisited her heated estrangement from her former "Boy Meets World" costar Maitland Ward -- and it's safe to say, it sparked one heck of a firestorm!

DF had Maitland on the latest "Pod Meets World" episode to chat about her switch to adult entertainment -- but things got heated when Danielle straight-up asked, "Do you hate us?" -- and that’s when the drama really kicked off.

You have to hear the back-and-forth between the two -- 'cause Maitland accused Danielle of actually hating on her.

Scott Disick's ex seems to be calling out the star for trying to pressure her into plastic surgery ... 'cause she's heavily implying he wanted her boobs and butt augmented.

Holly Scarfone hopped on her "Suite n' Salty" podcast earlier this week ... and, she opened up about how a guy she dated really pushed her to change her figure.

Listen to the clip ... Scarfone won't say the guy's real name -- but, she shares alleged text messages with the contact initials reading "SD" and at another point in the pod she used the fake name "Rot Shnisnick."

The Menendez Brothers got a thumbs down from the L.A. County D.A. when it comes to getting a new trial based on new evidence.

L.A. County D.A. Nathan Hochman just announced his office will oppose the brothers' request for another trial based on 2 pieces of evidence -- a letter from Erik to his cousin purportedly written in 1988 where Erik discusses sexual abuse, and a declaration from a member of Menudo saying Jose Menendez molested him in the '80s. The D.A. says the new evidence does not change what happened when Erik and Lyle were convicted of murder.

Hochman says he did not hear the "2 Angry Men" podcast in which Erik and Lyle talked about how they've evolved in the 35 years behind bars.

Erik and Lyle Menendez were viciously attacked in the early days of their time in prison, but their lives have radically changed since then.

The Menendez brothers appeared by phone on TMZ's podcast, "2 Angry Men" with Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos, who reps Erik and Lyle. They talked about how they survived and evolved in the 35 years they've been incarcerated.

Erik says he was violently attacked numerous times, but never fought back. He and Lyle were in separate prisons for the first 21 years behind bars, and Erik vividly remembers when he got word his brother had been viciously attacked and suffered a broken jaw.

They are clearly anxious about their re-sentencing hearing next month, where they will learn how they will spend the rest of their lives -- either as prisoners or free men.
