'Little Women: LA' Cast Member Hospitalized with Brain Injury After Cast Brawl

Published | Updated

"Little Women: LA" cast member Christy McGinity Gibel is in the hospital after a brutal attack by two of her cast mates.

The attack went down at Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, CA over the weekend while the cast was filming season 4. It's unclear what started the brawl, but Christy left with 2 brain contusions.

Christy couldn't shake the headache, so she checked herself into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

No word on what triggered the brawl... our source says the ladies were drinking iced tea, so alcohol doesn't appear to be a factor. We haven't been told which cast members brawled with Christy.

We got Christy's husband Todd as they left the hospital. He says she'll pull through, but she'll feel the effects for months.

Judge Judy El Nino Kicked My Jet's Ass

Published | Updated

Judge Judy has been grounded, but not for doing anything bad ... her private jet was damaged thanks to El Nino.

The aircraft was parked at Naples Municipal Airport Saturday night when wind gusts soared to 80 MPH. They uprighted the jet, apparently damaging the rear underbelly.

We're told the winds pushed the front of the plane upward, sending fuel toward the back which caused the backside to hit the ground.

The wind patterns were not just strong but really freaky ... other planes were damaged as well.

Judy and hubby Jerry live in Naples, and all sort of other great places.

Apollo Nida Kandi Burruss, Todd Tucker They Pick Up My Prison Calls!!!

Published | Updated

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Apollo Nida is learning who his real friends are while he's in prison, and two very unlikely suspects have remained loyal ... Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker.

Apollo phoned us from prison to say most people won't take his call, so he was really surprised when Kandi and Todd took the time to jawbone with him when he reached out.

What's more ... Apollo says the couple constantly check up on him and even put money in his commissary account.

He says he never expected the support since Kandi and Apollo's wife, Phaedra Parks, had a falling out on 'RHOA.'

'Say Yes to the Dress' Shop Brawl Employee Sues ... I'm a Bloody Mess

Published | Updated

5:15 PM PST -- A source close to productions confirms the two involved in the lawsuit had no affiliation with the show and have never been on it.

A guy with a bum kidney who worked at Kleinfeld Bridal -- the store featured on TLC's smash hit, "Say Yes to the Dress" -- claims he was savagely beaten on the stairs going into the store, and he's filed a bridal brutality suit.

William Martinez claims he worked for Kleinfeld from 2011 - 2014 and everything was hunky dory until his last year on the job, when he was hospitalized with kidney problems and it left him unable to do the various physical tasks he was assigned.

Martinez says he went to one of the managers -- Manny -- and said he needed to be reassigned to clerical duties, but Manny kept making him do heavy lifting and later, told him to just "go the f*** home."

According to the lawsuit, Martinez told Manny he was going to file an HR complaint, and Manny responded by pushing him into a chair. Martinez finally left but when he came back he says Manny, with the help of a posse, took his cane away and beat the crap out of him.

Martinez says he was hospitalized and then fired by HR.

He's suing under the Americans with Disabilities Act for all sorts of money.

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 I'm Ready To Date A Man!

Published | Updated

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 I'm A Reality Star Now!!! Inks TV Show Deal

Published | Updated

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.

'L&HH' Star Stevie J Joseline Went Ballistic Bleached and Destroyed Everything!!!

Published | Updated

"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.

THE DAMAGE

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.

Joseline's got a history with going postal on people, so it's not really that much of a surprise. Stevie's got tough skin though. We got the video of him above on his way into Atlanta's Blue Flame strip club ... always a good place to blow some steam.

Kris Jenner I'm Not Done with Corey Gamble ... And the Fur's Real

Published | Updated

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 Pumpkin Is Engaged!!!

Published | Updated

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 ...

'Alaskan Bush People' Jail Time for Cheating State ... On Oil Refunds

Published | Updated

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!

This was their 2nd run at a plea deal ... the first was rejected by the judge.

'RHOA' Producers Amiyah Scott Didn't Quit ... We Didn't Want Her!

Published | Updated

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 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.

The bottom line? ... Joe's probably one happy dude.

Shahs of Sunset Star My Nip Slip Selfie Was An Accident!!

Published | Updated

"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.

But for what it's worth, Mercedes says she wasn't embarrassed and sends naked pics to friends all the time ... just none have been leaked.
