Reality TV

"The X Factor" is upping the sexy factor -- TMZ has learned Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio are signing on to be judges for next season.

Sources connected to FOX tell TMZ the pair are in final negotiations to join the show ... with only minor details left to be hammered out before they sign on.

We're told the deals will be done in the next few days, possibly as early as tomorrow.

Rowland and Rubio would be replacing Britney Spears and L.A. Reid ... and joining returning judges Demi Lovato and (of course) Simon Cowell.

'90s TV actress Carlton Gebbia has high hopes for her upcoming stint on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ... telling friends she hopes to ditch the TV cat fights and empower women instead. Goooood luck.

Sources tell us ... Carlton, who guest starred on shows like "The Young and the Restless" and "Suddenly Susan" back in the day, is definitely joining the cast for season 4. Bravo has yet to confirm it, but our sources tell us it's happening.

Plus, we got Carlton out in L.A. recently and she all but said, "Yes, I'm on the show." Instead she talked about what she WOULD do IF she were on it. Yeah.

The addition should be interesting ... our sources tell us, Carlton's made it clear -- she's "sick of the silly s**t women do" on "Real Housewives" and wants to portray her sex as beautiful, strong and powerful, i.e., no table flipping.

Just how replaceable ARE "American Idol" judges? According to "Idol" champ Taylor Hicks ... SUPER DUPER REPLACEABLE.

Taylor was out in L.A. on Friday when our photog asked the season five winner the only interesting thing left to ask about "Idol" ... is it time to replace ALL the judges?

Randy Jackson -- the last remaining original judge -- made his exit after the season finale, and it's been reported that newbie judges Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban are all on the chopping block.

But Taylor is unfazed by the "A.I" shake up and believes the "revolving door" of judges COULD be a way to save the slowly dying show.

And in case you forgot who Taylor is, here you go:

Breathe easy, James Deen ... Farrah Abraham is NOT PREGNANT ... not even a little bit, as far as she knows.

The "Teen Mom"-slash-porn-star pre-taped an episode of upcoming conflict resolution talk show "The Test," where producers convinced her to take one -- and it was NEGATIVE. (Trust us, that's a POSITIVE).

TMZ broke the story ... Abraham said she missed her period after making her porno with Deen. She was photographed while plunking down cash for an EPT at the drug store.

But Farrah told "The Test" host Kirk Fox that she never took that test (her explanation was WAY too convoluted to make any sense ... so we're going with "not enough cameras around").

We're told Farrah reacted indifferently. We can relate.

Justin Bieber could have a brand new porn-star neighbor in his ultra-exclusive L.A. community -- 'cause TMZ has learned Farrah Abraham has her eye on a $3 million pad right around the corner from the singer.

We've learned ... the star of "Back Door Teen Mom" was on the mansion hunt this weekend in The Oaks in Calabasas -- an expensive gated community home to stars like Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker, Romeo, Keyshawn Johnson, Shanna Moakler and others.

One of the homes that tickled Farrah's fancy was a 4,851 square feet pad with 5 bedrooms, 6 baths ... and a $3,299,900 price tag.

It's unclear if Farrah has already put down an offer ... but with the 6-figures she made from the tape, she could definitely afford the down payment.

Rocky's boxing gloves ... Dorothy's ruby slippers ... Indiana Jones' bullwhip ... the bikini Farrah Abraham wore on the cover of her sex tape -- one of these pieces of cinema history CAN BE YOURS!!! --- take a guess which.

Vivid Entertainment -- the porn studio behind the release of "Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom" -- listed Farrah's pink crystal-encrusted two-piece on eBay at midnight ... and bids started at $500.

It's pretty hilarious ... the listing advertises the Poolside Collection bikini as "used" -- we're told that means exactly what you think it means: the bikini wasn't washed since Farrah wore it. Think Monica Lewinsky and The Gap.

In fact, we're told the bikini shows overt signs of wear, including fake tan stains and glitter from Farrah's body lotion.

As the listing goes ... "Farrah's bikini ... straight off Farrah's body and into your hands."

As if your hands won't already be busy enough.

Newly minted porn star Farrah Abraham is so worried James Deen knocked her up while filming their infamous sex tape ... she peed on a stick.

Sources close to Farrah tell TMZ ... the former "Teen Mom" star hadn't had sex in more than a year before James got her ... and the duo didn't wear condoms while filming ... and Farrah wasn't on birth control. Basically all the makings for an after school special.

We're told Farrah recently missed her period and started freaking out, thinking she was growing a little porn spawn. So she went shopping for a pregnancy test at her local pharmacy.

We're going to go to out on a limb that she's NOT pregnant ... for 2 reasons.

1. We've seen the tape, and you don't get pregnant THAT way.

"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" honchos are still on the hunt for fresh "RHOBH" meat, and Casey Kasem's wife tells TMZ ... she's in talks with Bravo to be that meat.

Farrah Abraham got into a heated exchange with an airport employee today ... which she claims only ended after airport cops showed up ... and get this, it was all over an over-sized duffel bag.

The "Teen Mom" tells TMZ ... she showed up to LAX hours ago with an extra large carry-on bag -- but was informed by American Airlines personnel she couldn't go through security until she checked the bag.

Farrah says she agreed, but says the woman was rude to her regardless, and the two began arguing. That's when Farrah says she told the lady she was acting like "trash" and asked to speak to her supervisor ... but claims the lady called airport police instead.

Farrah says she explained the situation to cops, but they weren't having it and told her to be more respectful. Cooler heads eventually prevailed and Farrah proceeded to make her flight.

The newly-minted porn star tweeted angrily afterwards, "I thought American Airlines was good apparently they need better customer service, never flying with them again:) #CallThePolice."

For what it's worth ...TSA had no record of the incident. We also called American Airlines, but so far no word back.

But here's how it may have looked:

Everyone has a tequila story, and Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner had theirs Thursday night ... with an evening that started at a Mexican restaurant and ended with them getting KICKED OUT of Kim's house ... TMZ has learned.

According to our sources, Khloe and Kris went out for a girls' night and hit up Casa Vega in the Valley for some dinner and a few margaritas (FORESHADOWING!!!!). The ladies had a good time and K&K even posted a pic of the pair wearing sombreros and captioned it "She's wild man" (see above).

We're told the pair took a car service and went straight from the restaurant to the popular West Hollywood bar The Abbey to shoot a scene for "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." The only problem ... they smartly decided they were too drunk to shoot ... so they left without even getting out of the SUV.

According to Abbey patrons, the ordeal pissed off management because they had roped off a prime section for the shoot.

But it doesn't end there ... Khloe and Kris then had the brilliant idea to go from the bar to Kim's house ... because who doesn't love partying with drunk women more than a PREGNANT CHICK?!?!?

It predictably didn't go well, and Kim told the girls to take a hike.

The Real Housewives of NYC have banded together against the Bravo Network -- REFUSING to continue on the show unless they ALL get huge raises, TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us ... LuAnn de Lesseps, Carole Radziwill, Aviva Drescher, Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and Heather Thomson were recently approached by Bravo individually with contract offers to appear on Season 6, which is supposed to begin production on Monday.

But the women were each unhappy with the offers ... and figured they would have more leverage against the network if they teamed up ... just like the cast of "Friends" did back in the day.

We're told the women approached Bravo as a group and made their demand clear -- FAT RAISES FOR ALL ... OR WE QUIT.

Here's where it gets interesting -- sources tell us the network is FURIOUS ... and has told the group they have until Friday (tomorrow) to sign the offers that are currently on the table, or they're all FIRED.

Translation -- IT'S A STANDOFF!!!!!

One thing to consider -- Season 5 of "NYC Housewives" was one of the lowest rated seasons in the show's run.

The Dawg is putting his "American Idol" career to sleep -- Randy Jackson just announced he's leaving the show for good at the end of the season.

Jackson -- who's been with the show from the very beginning -- just released a statement saying, "Yo! Yo! Yo! To put all of the speculation to rest, after 12 years of judging on 'American Idol' I have decided it is time to leave after this season."

Randy continued, "I am very proud of how we forever changed television and the music industry. It's been a life changing opportunity but I am looking forward to focusing on my company Dream Merchant 21 and other business ventures."

The White House chef is gonna be PISSSSSSED ... 'cause the food at the White House Correspondents' Dinner TOTALLY FAILED to impress the stars of "Duck Dynasty."

TMZ spoke with Willie and Korie Robertson -- who sat pretty close to the President at the highly publicized dinner -- and their culinary review was very underwhelming.

When ya look at the menu, it's not hard to understand why the A&E stars were disappointed -- they started off with beet salad. BEET SALAD!!

In case you're curious, check out the entire menu after the jump:

Just how redneckish was the Mama June wedding hootenanny?? TMZ has learned the "Honey Boo Boo" stars didn't just serve up a whole roasted pig (with the head intact) ... they also gave away HUNTING KNIVES to the male guests!

And it only got more gluttonous from there!

Our well-placed wedding spies tell us ... when June Shannon and Sugar Bear unofficially tied the knot, guests feasted on pulled pork sandwiches and ribs (ya know, from the dead pig), corn on the cob, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, rolls and sweet tea ... basically your cardiologist's worst nightmare.

And don't forget dessert ... which included a frickin' gourmet candy bar -- i.e. a bar full of candy -- which offered Airheads, Sour Patch Kids, Twizzlers, Swedish Fish ... you get the idea.

As for the gift bags -- women got red candles ... the men got small hunting knives ... and EVERYONE got diabetes!!!

Porsha Williams says her divorce from former NFL star Kordell Stewart is ABSOLUTELY NOT a publicity stunt or a contrived plotline for "Real Housewives" ... but she wishes it was.

After TMZ broke the story that Kordell pulled the plug on the marriage back in March ... several media outlets called B.S. on the split, claiming it was a cheap P.R. stunt concocted in the hopes they would stay on the show for another season.

But Porsha's rep tells us ... the notion of a phony divorce is "absolutely ridiculous" ... explaining, "Given everything this abrupt divorce filing has put her through in the public, [Porsha] would never bring something like this on herself, especially with them having a child in the house."

The rep adds, "[Porsha] wishes things could have been different [with Kordell] but that simply is not possible.”

We also spoke with Porsha's attorney, Randy Kessler, who says the two sides are trying to keep the split amicable and are working on reaching a separation agreement as quickly as possible.

Farrah Abraham clearly has STDs on the brain ... 'cause that's all she wanted to talk about last night.

The "Teen Mom" star was outside Katsuya in Hollywood ... when we asked about her new 6-figure endorsement deal for a weight loss product.

The fun part -- we asked if she was present for lab testing (on the product) ... but Farrah thought we were talkin' about her vagina. She was very forthcoming, as usual.
