Reality TV

Lisa Vanderpump showed her support for Bravo's newest housewife franchise -- "The Real Housewives of Potomac" -- when the cast stopped by PUMP Restaurant Thursday night for dinner.

Lisa wasn't there but we're told she sent a note welcoming the women to the Bravo family and hooked 'em up with PUMP hats. The new 'Housewife' franchise premieres Sunday, and we're told Bravo execs think it's going to be their new hit.

The ladies are definitely saving the drama for the cameras -- we're told there was no argument about the bill at PUMP. They each paid separately.

Caitlyn Jenner is done dating women.

In the season 2 trailer for "I Am Cait" she flat out says it ... "To be honest I don't see myself dating women in the future."

Up to this point, Cait's been very coy about her dating life -- and she's been on the fence about whether she supports same sex marriages. So maybe she's tipping her hand by deciding to date men.

One other option? It's all BS ... since this is a promo and nobody gives promo like a Jenner/Kardashian.

LeBron James is becoming a reality TV star -- but it's less "Basketball Wives" and more "Bar Rescue."

James just announced he's launching a new show called "Cleveland Hustles" on CNBC -- which will feature the NBA superstar meeting with struggling local businesses to help turn things around.

The details on the project are slim ... but it sounds like "Bar Rescue" meets "Extreme Home Makeover."

By the way, James will be producing the show along with Magical Elves -- the production company behind the mega-hit "Top Chef."

No word on when the show is set to debut -- but it's just ANOTHER big move from James who recently inked a mega-deal with Nike and a development deal with Warner Brothers.

Rumer Willis has heard the buzz about her being the leading candidate for the next season of "The Bachelorette" ... and she feels very strongly about it.

We brought it up to the 'DWTS' champ as she was leaving The Nice Guy. Great move on our photog's part. Check out her response ...

"Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Stevie J's done with estranged wife Joseline Hernandez after she bleached, smashed and cut up more than $65k worth of his belongings in one helluva jealous rage.

The Bad Boy producer tells us he returned Monday from a studio session with Faith Evans and found his place looking like a war zone. Bleach had been poured all over his bed and belongings and several other items were either cut up or smashed.

He says Joseline left him the homecoming present after she got jealous over how much time he was spending in the studio with Faith.

Among the ruined items ...

- vintage $10k Bad Boy jacket, that was a gift from Diddy
- $40k worth of clothes
- $15k worth of Versace china
- at least 20 pairs of kicks

He also says she ruined several gifts his kids had given him for Christmas.

Kris Jenner has been out of the dating game so long, the term "single" confounds her.

Kris was on "Bachelor Live" Monday night with Chris Harrison and Chris Soules and she talked about being single with 4 kids back in the day. Harrison asked her if she's single now, and she said "yes."

But our Jenner sources say she's still solid with Corey Gamble. In fact, the 2 were out together Monday night at Craig's in WeHo.

And speaking of being out at Craig's ... our Jenner sources say the fur is fox ... an '80s vintage Dior.

Cue PETA posting videos on how fur coats are made.

Mama June is adding a son-in-law to her brood.

June tells us her 16-year-old daughter Pumpkin is engaged to her boyfriend of 9 months, Joshua Efird. He popped the question 2 days before Christmas, complete with a ring, during dinner at a seafood restaurant.

June says she approves of 19-year-old Joshua, mostly because he's cool with taking things slow ... as in Ciara-Russell Wilson slow. Yes, the teenagers say they're saving themselves for marriage.

We know what you're thinking, but they don't HAVE to wait. Age of consent is 16 in GA. Still, they don't plan on getting hitched until Pumpkin's 18.

We'd say they grow up so fast, but ...

Two of the "Alaskan Bush People" stars won't have to wander around the frozen tundra for a while -- instead they'll get to chill in jail cells.

Bill Brown, and his son Joshua "Bam Bam" Brown each got sentenced to 30 days in jail on Monday ... after pleding guilty to lying on their Alaskan oil dividend forms. Up in Alaska, all resident get a cut of the state's oil revenue ... but the Browns got busted falsifying their forms.

As part of their plea deal, father and son must also pay back the $8,000 they got from the state and do 40 hours of community service. The part that really hurts -- the Discovery reality TV stars can never get oil dividends again!

David Bowie's ex-wife, and mother of his first child, is choosing to stay locked up in the 'Big Brother' house after getting the news of his death.

Angie Barnett just happens to be on "Celebrity Big Brother" in the UK right now. Producers say they told her about Bowie's passing, but she has "taken the decision to continue in the program" ... even though they've given her the option to bow out.

Bowie and Angie -- a model and actress at the time -- got married in 1970 and stayed together for 10 years. Their son Duncan Jones is a filmmaker.

66-year-old Angie talked about their breakup during a recent episode of 'BB.'

Amiyah Scott might be telling people she walked off the set of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," but producers are singing a different tune ... she was just boring as crap so they scrapped her.

Scott -- who would have been the first transgender female cast member -- got a trial run and claims she walked off the set because they were trying to sexually exploit her.

But our production sources say Amiyah never walked off ... she just didn't make the cut because she brought nothing interesting to the table ... being transgender doesn't make you automatically interesting.

As for claims she was forced to wear lingerie ... producers say that's ridiculous. Porsha Williams -- who has a lingerie line -- thought Amiyah was beautiful and made the offer and Amiyah declined ... simple as that.

It all worked out in the end for Amiyah ... Lee Daniels has just cast her on a new TV show.

Teresa Giudice clearly put in some extra work on her body while in the slammer ... and she's not afraid to show it off.

Teresa was spotted out in New Jersey Wednesday leaving a yoga class in some skin-tight spandex before hopping into her brand new $90k Lexus. We're not sure what her workout routine was behind bars or if there's just something in the water, but she looks great.

"Shahs of Sunset" star Mercedes Javid says she never meant to post a photo showing her exposed boob and she blames the whole thing on a long flight.

Mercedes tells TMZ she took the pic while at a wedding last week and wanted to edit it the next day before a flight home with a sticker covering her nipple. However, she says before she could finish the edit job, the plane took off and she had to abandon her masterpiece.

Mercedes says somehow the pic still posted to her Instagram and Facebook and when she landed 8 hours later she got a ton of messages from friends about the pic so she quickly took it down.

The "mean girls" hackers who just hit the "Dance Moms" stars again have something new to fear ... the FBI.

Our "Dance Moms" sources tell us, Monday's hack was the final straw and now some cast members -- including Kelly Hyland, whose two daughters were hacked, contacted the feds. We're told the FBI has actually been on the case since last month, but Monday's hack pushed it to the front burner.

We're told the FBI is not alone ... local law enforcement is also on the case.

"Dance Moms" cast members -- Abby Lee Miller, Mackenzie Ziegler and others -- got hacked Monday night in what looks like some brazen kids who keep coming back for more.

Sources close to the 'DM' cast members tell us the hackers have repeatedly gotten into their cellphones, iCloud, emails and PayPal accounts. The hackers have been posting phone numbers and other cast info on social media ... which is what happened again Monday night.

We're told Mackenzie awoke Tuesday to more than 2,000 messages.

The cast hired a P.I. 3 months ago to find the hacker, but they're super elusive. The P.I. believes the culprits are 4 underage girls, whom he's calling "The Mean Girls."

Amiyah Scott was a wet dream for producers of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," the prospect of a transgender cast member made them salivate, and she's so disgusted she just quit.

Amiyah was on the show for a trial -- the first transgender woman ever on the 'Housewives' franchise. We're told producers were prodding Amiyah to sexualize herself ... wearing lingerie and acting like a vixen.

We're told she bristled at the notes because she wanted to become a role model for other transgendered people. And we're told she was doubly insulted because they tried making her the bitch of the cast, trashing the other housewives.

After a month of filming, she walked off the set, saying she was done.

It worked out for Amiyah ... Lee Daniels has just cast her on a new TV show.

Apollo Nida isn't upset that his kids won't visit him in prison... fact is, he doesn't want them there.

Apollo's been moved to a new facility and his children -- 2 year-old Dylan and 5 year-old Ayden -- haven't gotten approval to see him. Also Phaedra Parks thinks seeing him behind bars is too much for the kids.

Turns out Apollo and Phaedra are in agreement ... Sources close to Apollo tell us he also believes it would be too traumatic for the kids to see him there so the best solution is FaceTime.
