Reality TV

Producers of the Blac Chyna/Rob Kardashian reality show are teasing viewers that Chyna underwent a paternity test while she was pregnant because she doubted Rob's the dad, but it's all made up.

The tease shows Chyna demanding a paternity test and there's a shot of her with a needle in her arm ... it makes it seem like she herself is saying she was sleeping with multiple guys.

However, production sources tell us the needle is for a routine blood test ... NOT a paternity test. We're also told she has made it clear ... Rob's the only guy who could possibly be the dad.

In fact, we're told Chyna and Rob planned the pregnancy almost from the get-go. They tried for several weeks to do the deed before she actually got pregnant, despite the fact they only dated each other for a minute.

Chyna actually did tell Rob at one point he might not be the father, but did it "to get under his skin because she was pissed off at him."

'Bachelor' alum Samantha Steffen is used to the sand after a stint on "Bachelor in Paradise."

Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton had a happy ending on the finale of "Bachelor in Paradise" ... but there's trouble on the horizon with her ex-husband.

Nick Buonfiglio filed docs -- obtained by TMZ -- saying he deserves more time with their 2 daughters. He says Amanda's been dumping their 2 and 4-year-old in full-time daycare lately while she's off working on multiple TV shows.

He adds ... all the media attention is bad for their girls, but great for Amanda's bottom line. Nick claims her income has skyrocketed since 'BiP' -- from $100/year to around $20k a month. Unclear how she would have lived on $100 a year, but now Nick wants her to pay more child support.

Amanda has agreed to try settling their differences in mediation.

Kim Zolciak isn't sure why NeNe Leakes is telling people she's coming back to 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' -- 'cause she's definitely not ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Kim tell us she has not shot anything for the show, and hasn't signed on to shoot either ... contrary to NeNe's statement.

Kim has her own show on Bravo, and we're told she doesn't see any point in returning to 'RHOA.' Funny enough, our Kim sources say her daughters, Brielle and Ariana, will actually make an appearance next season ... because they went to Sheree Whitfield's son's birthday.

The guy Karlie Redd claimed got all pervy by trying to take pic of her is now firing back ... with a defamation lawsuit.

Christopher Powe -- aka Pharaoh -- says Karlie dragged his name through the mud by making the false claims -- both to TMZ and on social media -- alleging he attacked her, tried raping her and taking her picture while she was asleep.

Powe says he and Karlie were seeing each other this summer until he pulled the plug, and she threatened to sic her goons on him. He says she was just a woman scorned who then made up lies.

Chris says Karlie went on an unrelenting campaign bad-mouthing him ... costing him tons of dough for a crisis PR guy. He's suing for more than a mil, and also wants a retraction and an apology.

We reached out to Karlie for comment ... so far no word back.

Bad news for Kim Zolciak ... the Buffalo Bills have 86'd her husband, Kroy Biermann, in their latest round of cuts.

James Taylor and Vinny Ventiera were just friends when they were vying for JoJo Fletcher's love on TV ... now they're bonafide beach buds.

We got the two axed 'Bachelorette' stars getting in some QT in Cancun, where they hit the waves ... and gave up tons of high fives -- a telltale sign of bros for life.

James and Vinny even chatted up some chicks at a restaurant nearby.

"Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Tommie Lee just proved mug shots CAN be flattering ... but it took a lot of work to get there.

The reality star turned herself into an Atlanta jail Wednesday after a warrant had been issued for her arrest stemming from a feud with co-star Joseline Hernandez. Lee documented her morning leading up to the surrender ... which really just involved putting on a ton of makeup, and slipping into a black dress.

Lee's still behind bars, and something tells us an orange jumpsuit ain't gonna be her favorite look.

'Love & Hip Hop' star Tommie Lee just got dressed to the nines for a mug shot.

Law enforcement in Atlanta tells TMZ Lee turned herself in Wednesday afternoon. Cops say they got an arrest warrant because Tommie allegedly threatened to kill fellow 'LHH' star Joseline Hernandez back in March.

Lee made a whole show out of her surrender ... making sure to get glammed for the slammer. The mug shot's gonna be a classic.

Tommie was booked for making terroristic threats.

"Ice Road Truckers" star Darrell Ward died in a plane crash Sunday.

Darrell had just left a truck show in Dallas where he met fans and friends, and was heading back to Missoula, MT to begin filming a pilot for his new documentary -- ironically and sadly about the recovery of plane wrecks.

Darrell was flying with a co-pilot when their Cessna single engine plane crashed on approach near the Rock Creek exit of Interstate 90.

The family said, "While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief. His manager and best friend M. Bob Stanton and long time friend Chuck Campbell are expected to make a lengthier statement shortly."

He was 52 years old.

One of the 13 suitors trying to hook up with TV's first gay bachelor is HIV positive, and even though producers were aware, they kept the cast in the dark ... TMZ has learned.

We're told Robert Sepulveda Jr. -- the "Finding Prince Charming" bachelor -- got the bombshell news early on during taping, and we're told the reveal will become a focal point. Our sources tell us producers think the show will resonate with straight and gay viewers, and educate the audience.

As for the reveal itself -- we're told it was emotional and Robert was supportive of the cast member.

"Bachelor in Paradise" stars Izzy Goodkind and Vinny Ventiera are making the quantum leap from epic TV breakup to real-life PDA ... at 30,000 feet.

We got a pic of Izzy and Vinny getting cozy Wednesday during their L.A. to NYC flight, and they didn't seem too concerned with any spoiler alerts. Passengers say they couldn't keep their hands off each other ... and Izzy eventually fell asleep in his lap.

Worth noting: Vinny took a center seat to sit next to her. THAT's gotta be love.

As of Tuesday night's 'BiP' this seemed totally improbable -- Vinny left the island after a blowout fight with Izzy. So, what changed between taping the show and now?

Our photog got them at LAX right before they boarded the flight. They tried peddling that ole "just friends" bit ... until Izzy blew their cover. Check it out.

Nya Lee's got some holes in her swimsuit game -- but photogs didn't mind it a bit when she hit the beach in Miami.

The former "Love & Hip Hop: New York" star made headlines earlier this year when she converted to Islam. During her photo shoot on Wednesday, Nya was sporting a black one-piece ... clearly designed by someone who believes less is more.

The beef between "Bachelor in Paradise" stars Josh Murray and Nick Viall is so real, Nick hasn't returned Josh's phone calls since season 3 wrapped ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to production tell TMZ ... when 'BiP' wrapped in June, several cast members warned Josh that Nick portrayed him as the villain for stealing away Amanda Stanton. Our sources say Josh felt blindsided by the bad blood but wanted to make things cool with Nick, so he reached out to him before the show aired ... but Nick never responded.

Sources close to Josh tell us he feels Nick seized the opportunity to play the role as a "victim" and feels that he won over Amanda fairly. When Josh first arrived at the house, he asked the girls if any of them were in a serious relationship ... and Amanda said no. However, we're told the clip didn't make the cut.

After seeing the drama unfold, we're told Josh feels it's now too late to ever respect him again.

Now that's tough love.

Blac Chyna sent a woman to the hospital ... at least according to a woman who has now filed suit against the the future Mrs. Kardashian.

TMZ broke the story ... Chyna's friend, Paige Addison, was tooling around in Chyna's BMW back in November when she blew a stop sign and slammed into an SUV and injured 2 people inside. The lawsuit claims Chyna should've known Paige was a bad driver and should never have let her take the wheel.

Paige was charged with felony hit-and-run.

The people in the SUV want medical expenses, lost wages and other damages.

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

Two of the 'Rica Famosa Latina' stars turned a scripted fight into a very real, very gangsta showdown that landed one of 'em in the hospital with a bloodied face.

Cast members Sandra and Victoria were taping a scene at a fashion event in Culver City when the brawl started. According to the police report, producers had planned (yes, that's how reality shows really work) to shoot the women arguing over a dress.

We're told Victoria was supposed to throw a glass of wine on a mannequin, and then Sandra would throw a glass of wine back at Victoria.

But Sandra went off script, according to cops ... attacking Victoria by smashing the wine glass over her head and then cutting her with the jagged, broken end. Victoria was rushed to a hospital with cuts on her head and chest.

Despite the injuries, law enforcement sources tell us neither women will be charged. They're chalking it up to mutual combat for a TV show. BTW ... way better combat than the 'Real Housewives' typically offer.

¡Esto es showbiz, chica!
