"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Stevie J is suing his ex, Joseline Hernandez for her repeated accusations he molested his daughter, and is a devil-worshipping gay man.

Stevie J says his ex has been on a smear campaign and even enlisted a former nanny for his child to post similar allegations on social media ... according to the defamation suit, obtained by TMZ.

Stevie says Joseline's gone as far as calling Georgia's Division of Family and Children Services accusing him of sexual abuse. You'll recall Joseline posted a message to her 1.9 million followers, claiming Stevie molested the daughter he shares with Mimi Faust.

According to the docs, Joseline accused him of being gay and a devil-worshiper ... which Stevie says has damaged his reputation and exposed him to public hatred and ridicule.

Nick Viall's got puppy love written all over his face, arm in arm with a cutie brunette ... and TMZ has the video.

The 'Bachelor' was spotted in his hometown of Waukesha, WI where he was presumably on a hometown date ... meaning the chick on his arm reached at least one of the final stages on season 21 of "The Bachelor."

Check out the vid ... Nick and the brunette get handsy as they make their way to Rochester Deli where they scarfed down a couple sandwiches, coleslaw and cookies.

Gotta love a girl who can eat!

Porsha Williams hit the beach in Hawaii, showing off her bikini-devouring body -- and it might be more than her guy friend can handle.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star was splashing around and taking selfies with the guy, while sucking down pineapple drinks. Sources close to Porsha tell us her sand mate's name is Todd, and they're celebrating his 40th birthday.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's joint baby shower went off without a hitch this weekend ... and a lot's changed for the couple.

Rob showing up at all was a big deal because it was shot for their reality show, and as we reported ... he'd gone back into recluse mode lately, and put back on much of the weight he lost.

Rob Kardashian surfaced for his coed baby shower with Blac Chyna -- a strong sign they might be able to salvage a second season of their reality show after all.

We're told Rob planned most of Sunday's Armenian-themed fete which was held at a family friend's home in Woodland Hills, CA. None of his sisters got an invite, but we're told Scott Disick and French Montana showed up, and a bunch of other family members.

It's a complete 180 from the fight that exploded last week after the sisters attempted to throw separate showers for Chyna and Rob, who had gone back to being a recluse again.

Rob put personal touches on everything from the champagne party favors to the desserts with the expectant parents' faces. Plus, a 7 layer cake, belly dancers and a Louis Vuitton diaper bag for Chyna. The whole thing was taped for their reality show. Rob had not been showing up for shoots recently, so this could mean he's had a change of heart.

Due to the taping, everyone had to turn in their phones -- which is why no one got the news about Kim's holdup in Paris until after the party.

LeBron James might be the 2nd most famous person at Cavs games this year ... because Khloe Kardashian was courtside in Cleveland.

Khloe showed up to watch Tristan Thompson in the Cavs annual Wine and Gold scrimmage on Sunday.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's TV career together is looking short and NOT sweet -- season 2 of their show is now hanging by a thread.

Production sources on "Rob & Chyna" tell TMZ ... E! execs haven't ordered a 2nd season yet, and a big part of the problem is they can't get the couple to shoot together. As we've reported, Rob's become a hermit again and we're told that's giving the bosses cold feet. Understandably, they're worried they won't get a full season out of him.

Obviously, a sophomore season could get huge ratings with so much drama, plus a baby and possibly a wedding around the corner ... if Rob's on board, and we're told that's a BIG if right now. Not to mention the season airing now is doing very well.

Our sources say honchos think Chyna's TV gold, and would consider working with her solo on a different show -- but if her fiancé remains MIA ... "Rob & Chyna" will die on the vine.

The Backstreet Boys held an open audition for one lucky dude Friday night ... and he's got a ladies already trying to win his love.

Nick Viall, who is on the upcoming season of "The Bachelor" as the main prize, had a group date at the BSB show in L.A. ... and Nick and the girls got pulled up onstage. It's easy to tell, the whole thing was choreographed (literally) for the show ... but Nick ain't half bad.

The boy band picked one chick from the group to have a solo dance with Nick to their hit "I Want It That Way" after the group dance.

Brandi Glanville is set to appear on a new reality show -- perfect timing for a new photo shoot with a celeb photographer.

Brandi got together with Jessica Simpson's dad, Joe Simpson, to snap promo shots for "My Kitchen Rules" ... which debuts in 2017 on FOX. We're told the former 'Housewives' star really dug his recent work ... so they hooked up at his Malibu studio.

We're told Brandi and Joe ended the shoot with a champagne toast, and ... uh, whatever this is.

Kandi Burruss is getting a half-hearted apology from Hawaiian Airlines for a computer glitch that led to her whole crew getting temporarily grounded.

Kandi blasted the airline on social media, saying she, hubby Todd Tucker and 2 friends had been booted off their Honolulu to Maui flight for no good reason. But Hawaiian Airlines spokeswoman Alison Croyle tells TMZ ... Kandi and co. were not kicked off, and the unfortunate episode was partially their fault.

Croyle says shortly after Kandi and Todd boarded flight 526, the computer revealed an issue with their boarding passes ... so, an employee asked to check their boarding passes. Everything was fine, but the employee forgot to return their passes and baggage claim tickets.

As the plane was taxiing, flight attendants reassured the couple they wouldn't have a problem claiming their luggage -- but the airline says they got "irate."

Kandi says they were told to deplane because of the commotion -- while the airline says someone in Kandi's crew demanded they be let off. Either way, they all got off and boarded another flight 45 mins later.

Aloha!

NeNe Leakes' son, Brentt, was trying to help his mom out on her tour but got robbed by an irate fan instead.

Brentt was hawking mom's merch Wednesday night when her "So Nasty, So Rude" comedy tour rolled through The Promontory in Chicago. Our PD sources tell us a customer was demanding a refund, and when the 17-year-old didn't fork it over ... the guy made off with a backpack containing Brentt's wallet and laptop.

We're told cops already have surveillance of the heist, but haven't made any arrests yet. Brentt wasn't hurt, and we're told he and NeNe are actually more pissed about losing his ID.

Get ready to judge Nick Viall's skills as the new 'Bachelor' -- we got the first photos and videos of him on a one-on-one date, and it looks like he just might avoid becoming a 4 time loser.

We got Nick in action with a blonde named Danielle. He's shooting the 21st season of the show right now, and this date went down Monday night in an entertainment area called Balboa Fun Zone in Newport Beach, CA.

The couple made a flashy arrival by boat with their names in lights. After that low-key entrance they rode a Ferris wheel, then sat down for a candlelit dinner. To make things really romantic, production hired 3 off-duty cops -- for about $1,500 -- to keep away curious fans.

Unclear if Danielle scored a rose or if Nick simply scored ... but dude needs a slump buster. He already struck out twice on "The Bachelorette" and once on "Bachelor in Paradise."

Rob Kardashian has given up on life again, retreating to the confines of his home and gaining all his weight back ... so claim members of his family who are worried his life is now in danger.

Our Kardashian sources say ... Rob and Blac Chyna have split, and he's been living at his own home for nearly 2 months, almost never walking out his front door.

We're told Rob has gained back the 50 pounds he lost shortly after hooking up with Chyna ... again hovering around 300 lbs.

Our sources say it's become a vicious cycle. Rob has lost his motivation because of the weight gain, which has renewed fears his diabetes will spin out of control. You'll recall he was hospitalized months ago after a diabetes scare.

Rob is also MIA for his own show. Chyna -- who's 8 months pregnant -- showed up for an appearance to promote "Rob & Chyna" and he was a no-show. He didn't even stop by the baby shower that was thrown specifically for him a few days ago.

One big problem ... Chyna is the one who pulled Rob out of his depression, but now the relationship has become the big problem -- they fight whenever they're together and it just deepens the problems.

As one source put it, "Rob is slipping back into a dark place." We're told the family is praying he "snaps out of it," and they want to do whatever they can to help him.

Herman Echevarria Sr. -- ex-husband of 'RHOM' star Alexia Echevarria -- was found dead in a Miami hotel room Monday morning.

The businessman didn't show up to work and was not answering calls ... prompting his family to check on him. Police confirmed he died at the Epic Hotel. Sources tell us they believe Herman suffered a heart attack, but the coroner has yet to determine cause of death.

Herman and Alexia both appeared on 'Real Housewives of Miami' and founded Venue magazine. We're told they had separated in 2015, and recently divorced.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are livid at The Game for inserting her into his war with Meek Mill ... but it also triggered a big fight between the two.

Sources close to Rob and Chyna tell TMZ ... the couple had a heated argument about the sexually suggestive lyrics in Game's diss track, "92 Bars" ... because Rob had no idea Game took her down.

We're told Rob was weirded out because Game had spent so much time with his family, and he felt it's something Chyna should have disclosed early on in their relationship.

She begged to differ, claiming it went down long before she hooked up with Rob.

The lyrics go, "Blac Chyna head the bomb, Al-Qaeda."

After they argued, they agreed the common enemy was Game, who never gave Chyna a heads-up.

JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers deny there's any trouble in paradise, and they certainly LOOK like everything's fine ... only problem is they've got very few clues about their big day.

We caught the 'Bachelorette' couple walking hand in hand in Bev Hills Tuesday where they shot down their recent breakup rumors.

As for settling the Rodgers' family feud ahead of their wedding -- JoJo addressed it with our photog. She's putting on a good face, but it doesn't sound great.
