"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Karen King was busted for scamming a person's identity for financial gain ... and there's video of the arrest going down.

Karen was arrested Monday night moments after arriving at an 'LHHA' promotional appearance at Level V in Atlanta. Her appearance there had been heavily promoted, so police were ready and waiting to arrest her for the alleged identity theft that went down last year.

According to docs, King walked into the Saks Fifth Avenue in ATL, and bought $4,946.52 in merchandise under someone else's name. Cops think she was in cahoots with the employee who rang up the purchase.

According to the arrest record, Karen was booked for financial identity fraud, theft and first degree forgery.

We've reached out to her camp, so far no word back.

HATERS BE HATIN'!!!!!

Aaron Rodgers' younger bro, Jordan, made his debut as a suitor on "The Bachelorette" Monday night -- and while he was a HUUUUGE hit with rose-giver JoJo Fletcher ... the dudes were SUPER JELLY PANTS!!!

Suzanne Mendonca says "The Biggest Loser" ruined her life, making her fat, unhealthy and flat broke ... but sources connected with the show say she's just a malcontent.

Mendonca was in NY Monday when she told our photog she's gained a ton of weight since appearing on season 2 of 'Biggest Loser.'

There are more serious allegations ... Suzanne claims the show withheld water, overexercised them and simply discarded them when the cameras stopped rolling.

Suzanne says she's in the process of corralling other contestants and filing a class action lawsuit.

Show producers tell TMZ, "We stand by the integrity of the show. The safety and well-being of our contestants is, and has always been, our #1 priority."

Bob Harper came on "TMZ Live" recently and talked about the difficulty of keeping weight off after the show.

Former "Dual Survival" host Cody Lundin's toughest job was surviving his co-host, who threatened to kill him with all sorts of weapons ... according to a lawsuit he filed against Discovery.

Lundin says producers made it look like he was losing it on set -- but according to the docs, his partner, Joe Teti, was the real menace. He says while shooting in Norway ... Teti threatened to "bury" him on a mountain while waving around an ice axe. During a shoot in Hawaii, Lundin says Teti threatened to impale him with a spear.

Lundin says Teti, a former CIA operative, once said ... "You better not blow this for me ... I think you know what is going to happen to you" -- and also flaunted pics of people he allegedly killed during his CIA days.

His biggest issue -- edits that made it seem like he was cracking under pressure. For instance, they showed Lundin throwing matches into a pool of water -- a cardinal sin for any survivalist. Lundin says producers set him up and that scene, along with several others, have made it impossible for him to find work.

Joe Teti tells us he never threatened Cody, adding, "I always had the utmost respect for him, considered him a friend, and am hurt these accusations have been made."

"Teen Mom" OG star Gary Shirley is set for a great Father's Day ... he's keeping primary physical custody of his daughter with Amber Portwood ... and mama's paying child support.

Gary and Amber have been locked in a custody war for years over 7-year-old Leah.

Amber lost primary custody in 2011 and then went to prison for drug possession the following year. Amber says late last year they agreed to joint legal custody with primary physical custody going to Gary. They have since been fighting over child support.

The parents were in an Indiana court last week and struck a settlement. Gary will retain primary physical custody. As for child support ... Amber has to fork over $1,200 per month.

They both say they can put their beef behind them and properly co-parent their kid.

The Kardashians' faces have inspired a new cosmetic procedure which bears their name ... even though they're not the ones cashing in on it.

That honor goes to Australia's Dr. Gary Eldridge, who just filed for a U.S. trademark on his "minimally invasive face/neck lift" ... which he calls the "Kardashian Facelift." He says it's a painless injection of fibrin protein that forces skin to repair and rejuvenate itself naturally.

Despite the name, Kris Jenner and her flock aren't getting a penny from Eldridge's practice. In fact, he cleverly says his procedure is named after his daughter's dog ... Kardashian.

If you wanna bark up that tree ... it'll cost you $1,870.

'Real Housewives of NY' star Carole Radziwill's boyfriend is recovering after he was lucky enough to walk away from a small plane crash.

Adam Kenworthy and his 65-year-old dad -- who was flying the plane -- made a crash landing Thursday in Iowa. Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Adam's father reported engine problems shortly before the plane went down on a hillside.

Carole tells TMZ Adam was released from the hospital a few hours after the crash, and his mom says he suffered a few abrasions but will be fine.

Adam posted a video to his Instagram Thursday from what we're guessing is the same plane that went down later in the day.

4:45 PM PT -- The duet isn't going to happen, after all. Sources connected to the deal tell us Whitney's estate decided to pull the plug once they saw the finished product 2 days ago.

We're told they weren't satisfied because the hologram simply "didn't look like Whitney." Producers and the estate reps all agreed Christina was flawless, but until technology can do the same for Whitney ... no deal.

It appears the Christina Aguilera-Whitney Houston duet rumors are true -- what looks very much like video of the performance just popped up on the Internet ... briefly.

It was supposed to be a surprise for Monday's season finale of the "The Voice" -- though there's been a ton of buzz about it, so the surprise was already kinda blown. It's unclear who got the footage or how it ended up on a Facebook page ... but it's already been taken down.

We've seen the whole thing, and we won't blow the whole secret ... but it appears Christina will sing a medley of Whitney's hits with the hologram.

'Voice' reps haven't gotten back to us yet about whether the footage is legit.

Ray J did Naomi Judd dirty when he accused her of calling grits "slave food" while they were shooting their reality TV cooking competition -- because she NEVER used those words.

According to sources connected to "My Kitchen Rules" ... when the cast gathered Wednesday, producers played back the "grits" footage in question. We're told what really happened is Lance Bass and his mom served shrimp and grits -- as part of the show -- and during the meal Naomi said when she was growing up her mother wouldn't let her eat grits ... because it was poor people's food.

It's a huge distinction from what Ray J said in his video post -- that he'd seen Naomi refer to grits as "slave food." We're told Naomi was merely telling a story about something her mom had said.

Not to say the "poor people" comment is great, but it's a big difference from "slave food" -- plus, they were her mom's words, not Naomi's.

Still, we're told Ray J took the comment as low key racism, and he's unhappy about it.

Sia and her famous bangs handed out major bucks ... $100k to one of the 'Survivor' finalists, who was 100% surprised by her generous gift.

During Wednesday night's finale a voice was heard interrupting Jeff Probst ... and then Sia shocked everyone by jumping onstage and dishing out the dough to fan favorite Tai Trang. Sia's reason for the big donation -- she's a huge fan of the show and was moved by Trang's positive messages throughout the season.

$50k is going directly to Trang, and the rest to his favorite charities. Trang tells us he's still unsure how he'll spend his cut -- but is vowing to spread the other half around several charities in San Francisco, where he lives.

Kandi Burruss celebrated the big 4-0 in grandiose fashion ... thanks to her VERY generous hubbie.

Todd Tucker presented his 'RHOA' wife with a $20k diamond encrusted Rolex. And that was just the beginning ... Todd shut down the ritzy DS17 Lounge for a surprise party with family and friends, including reality stars Tiny Harris, Toya Wright and the cast of 'Love & Hip Hop' and 'RHOA.'

We're told Todd's also taking Kandi and her family and friends down to the Bahamas.

Chumlee is dodging serious jail time in his drugs and guns case, and will NOT face any sex assault charges ... TMZ has learned.

The "Pawn Stars" cast member was busted back in March when Vegas cops raided his home during a sex assault investigation. TMZ broke the story ... cops say they found at least one gun as well as a bunch of marijuana.

According to docs obtained by TMZ ... the D.A. will charge Chumlee with felony possession of a firearm and felony possession of a controlled substance -- but the twist is ... his attorneys got him a sweet plea deal.

We don't know all the terms of the deal, but our sources say the big one is Chumlee will get probation and NO jail time. We're told the 2 felonies will eventually become misdemeanors once he completes probation.

As for the alleged sexual assault ... we're told police and Chumlee's attorneys, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, ran an exhaustive investigation. Both sides found there was not enough evidence to charge him.

Ray J is making serious accusations about Naomi Judd and grits -- namely, that she called the Southern dish ... "slave food."

Ray was on his way to the set of "My Kitchen Rules" when he described the alleged incident. Check out the video because what he has to say is incredibly shocking, if true.

As we reported ... Judd very openly said she didn't want to be on the cooking competition show once she found out her co-stars were people like Ray J, Brandi Glanville and Andrew "Dice" Clay.

Ray says he was disappointed to hear that's how Judd feels. As for the grits incident, he adds it definitely "smells like some racism."

Naomi Judd wants nothing to do with reality TV stars like Ray J and Brandi Glanville, which is why she tried to quit "My Kitchen Rules" -- the cooking competition she's shooting with them.

Naomi went on the attack on Facebook claiming producers misled her about who her competition would be on the show. The other contestants include Andrew Dice Clay and his wife, Glanville and LeAnn Rimes' ex Dean Sheremet, Ray J and Brandi, and Lance Bass and his mom Diane.

Naomi skewered most of the cast, saying Brandi's from "one of those tawdry Housewives shows" ... Ray J's a "bad boy" who made a porn and calls Dice "a no holds barred comedian."

Naomi says she wanted off the show since she'd never "choose to socialize with" people like her co-stars, but she'd already signed on the dotted line. So, she's stuck.

Before he was trying to bang chicks on a tropical island, one of the bachelors on the new FOX dating show "Coupled" was a college football WR ... who played with DeSean Jackson and Marvin Jones.

Alex Lageman even bragged about days on the Cal Berkeley football team -- where he played mostly as a backup from 2007 to 2010.

When one of the ladies on the island asked about Alex's hand size, he busted out this gem -- "I played receiver in college, so they're big enough to catch balls."

Nice.

'RHOA' star Phaedra Parks put her broken marriage with Apollo Nida aside to make sure the entire family was together for their son Ayden's 'TMNT'-themed 6th birthday party, minus Apollo, of course.

Phaedra rented out Stars & Strikes bowling alley over the weekend in ATL, and the guest list was stacked -- 100 of Ayden's closest friends and family, including Apollo's mom. Phaedra's 'RHOA' co-star, Porsha Williams, also showed.

Apollo wasn't there since he's serving 8 years for bank fraud, but Ayden still looked like he had the time of his life, which isn't really hard when you're turning 6 and laser tagging.

Phaedra might've lost some cool mom points in the gift department. She followed up last year's tricked out Mercedes SUV with a $50k deposit into his college savings account.
