Dr. H From 'Biggest Loser' Drops $5.5 Mil On Phat Pad ... Non-Fatties Welcome
Dr. H from "Biggest Loser" doesn't just help fat people with their problems -- he dropped $5.5 million on a sick mansion in Malibu ... to help folks of all sizes change their lives!!!
The good doc -- Robert Huizenga -- purchased the 9,750-square-foot casa at auction in July. But we're told the place isn't for him ... Dr. H will be using it as a wellness retreat where people (with fat wallets) can focus on making lifestyle changes through fitness, meditation and yoga.
FYI: He owns another mansion-based retreat -- located in the Hollywood Hills -- focused on weight loss. We're told the Malibu site is NOT strictly about shedding lbs.
As for the primo pad -- five separate buildings, 10.2 acres, 7 bedrooms, 7 baths, 360-degree views of the Cali coastline, outdoor cabana, pond, and an infinity pool overlooking the ocean, according to our friends at Trulia.
FUN FACTS: Before "Loser" Dr. H was the team physician for the L.A. Raiders and once wrote a book that inspired Oliver Stone's flick "Any Given Sunday."
And now you know.

Gia Allemand Boyfriend Said 'I Don't Love You Anymore'
"Bachelor" contestant Gia Allemand had a fight with her boyfriend hours before she killed herself, and he told her "I don't love you anymore."
Gia had accused NBA basketball player Ryan Anderson of being unfaithful during lunch the day she died. During the ride back to her house -- where they stopped at a Walgreens to get her NyQuil -- Gia told Ryan she still loved him but then he dropped the bombshell about his feelings.
We broke the story ... Gia hanged herself in her New Orleans home. According to official docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Gia used a vacuum cleaner cord to end her life. It was tied to the center section of her spiral staircase and tied to the handrail on the second floor.
It appears Gia was on the phone with her mom when she hanged herself. Her mom told cops during the call the phone "had gone silent" and the mother tried in vain to communicate with her for 10 minutes.
Ryan went back to the house to check on Gia, and found her sitting on the stairs with the cord "wrapped around her neck many times." She had been without oxygen for 30-40 minutes.
Gia left a suicide note on the dining room table and in it left all of her property to her mother.

GG from 'Shahs of Sunset' HIT WITH RESTRAINING ORDER Ex-Lover Fears She's A Knife-Wielding Maniac
GG from "Shahs of Sunset" has a cache of deadly knives, and she's willing to use them to slash up her ex-boyfriend ... so says the ex-boyfriend who just got a restraining order against the reality star, TMZ has learned.
GG's ex-boyfriend Sean Sette just filed legal docs begging a judge to protect him from the 5'6", 145-pounder because she's been on a mission to destroy him ever since they broke up earlier this month.
In the docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ, Sette claims GG has been stalking him and "threatening my sexuality." He doesn't really go into specifics about the threats.
Sette also claims GG has been blasting out his personal phone numbers on various social networks while "threatening my family and career."
Sette says what makes him particularly frightened for his life -- "[GG] has an abundance of knives that she carries with her, including illegal knives." Sette says GG has used her knives before, and he believes that she'll use them again on either himself, his parents, and his ex-fiancee.
The judge acknowledged Sette's concerns and has ordered GG to stay at least 100 yards away from him at all times. However, GG can keep her knives ... for now, at least.
The case is due back in court next month.

'Biggest Loser' Old Trainer Gets the Boot Replaced By Uncertified Coach
The morbidly obese contestants on "The Biggest Loser" -- some of whom are close to death -- will be pushed to the limit by a new trainer who is NOT certified in California ... TMZ has learned.
We've learned Sandy Krum -- who's been on the show since 2007 -- got the boot before Season 15 began taping this summer. He's been replaced by a young gun named Ryan Applegate.
Sources connected with the "Biggest Loser" tell us past contestants and several staff members on the show are extremely upset that Applegate hasn't passed the stringent certification test -- a test that is not required by law but one that many trainers take because it cements their qualifications.
Quick reminder, these aren't your average Joes who are just a tad out of shape ... they're morbidly overweight people -- some of whom tip the scales at more than 500 lbs -- many of whom have extremely high blood pressure and suffer from diabetes.
A rep for the show's production company tells us, "The health and safety of our contestants is our #1 priority and the show is confident that the team of professionals they have hired to work with the contestants are qualified to do so."

Glad my momma always told me 'if you don't have something nice to say than don't say it."

Riff Raff BUSTED For Drugs
Riff Raff just learned Southern hospitality only goes so far ... he was arrested early Sunday morning in North Carolina after cops found drugs in his car.
The rapper was tooling around Greensboro at around 2:30 AM and bizarrely stopped in the middle of traffic to talk to a bunch of pedestrians ... and if we know our Riff Raff, we're guessing he was pimpin' it.
Cops approached the vehicle and say they saw an open container of alcohol, which then triggered a full-blown search of the vehicle. That's when police say they found weed and some sort of powerful narcotic, along with drug paraphernalia.
The former MTV reality star (who may or may not have been the inspiration for James Franco's character in "Spring Breakers") was arrested along with his 2 passengers and taken to jail, where they were booked and released without bail.
Cops say Riff turned on the Southern charm, because he was "not aggressive and polite."
