'Bridalplasty' Contestant Missing After Party ... Male Student Arrested On Suspicion of Murder
A former contestant on the reality show "Bridalplasty" has been missing since early Sunday morning, and police are now holding the man who was with her that night, on suspicion of murder ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the investigation tell TMZ nursing student Jackie Jerome Rogers was with Lisa Marie Naegle at a bar in Torrance, CA. Lisa was spotted on security cameras leaving the bar, but never returned home.
Our law enforcement sources tell us Rogers is now being held on suspicion of murder after Lisa's family confronted him on Monday night. Family sources tell us Rogers told them he left Lisa at the bar -- but when they pointed out security footage showed her leaving in his vehicle ... he had no explanation. After hearing the inconsistencies, we're told police took him into custody -- and he's been arrested on suspicion of murder. He has not been booked yet.
LAPD is executing a search warrant at Rogers' home, and we're told they will be excavating his property for a possible body.
Naegle was on the E! reality show back in 2010. She's currently a nurse and Rogers is one of her students.

The Game No New Trial For You! Back To The End of The Line ...
The Game won't be getting his sexual assault judgment of $7 million reduced, and he won't be getting a new trial either ... for now, at least.
A judge shot down Game's request to reduce the damages he was ordered to pay after losing his sexual assault case ... all over a technicality in how he filed the paperwork.
It looks like Game didn't "present" the motion the right way, and left out important info -- like hearing dates and times ... basic stuff the court needs to even consider the request.
The good news for Game is he can refile the motion -- so he still has a shot to state his case in court, like he originally wanted to do.

As we told you last week ... a source close to the former couple told us they hadn't quite thrown in the towel. Our Christina source wouldn't speak for Tarek, but told us Christina's definitely NOT leaving a light on for her ex.

Sources close to Josh, however, say their fight was about something "nasty" Amanda whispered in his ear that Josh felt disrespected him.
Josh ultimately left Amanda at the concert area and waited outside the venue. They broke up the next day.

The Game Punishment Doesn't Fit Crime Give Me a New Day In Court!
The Game thinks $7 million is too much to pay for allegedly grabbing a woman's vagina ... and he wants a new trial to prove his point.
The rapper filed a motion in his sexual assault case, asking a judge to grant him a new trial with a new jury, or at least slash his $7 mil judgment from last month. Game says the evidence doesn't support such a hefty verdict.
He also thinks the jury had it out for him based on a "prejudicial" video of him and the woman after the alleged groping. Plus, he says he never got a chance to defend himself in person.
You'll recall ... Game said he had to miss the trial because of a severe tooth infection.

'Flip or Flop' Star Tarek El Moussa Hooked Up with Couple's Former Nanny
Apparently nannies are just too irresistible, because Tarek El Moussa is the latest to get the bug.
We've learned Tarek hooked up with 23-year-old Alyssa Logan, who was taking care of Tarek and Christina's 2 kids and also performing assistant chores.
It's not scandalous like Ben Affleck, Jude Law or Gavin Rossdale. We've learned Tarek and Alyssa began dating in Sept., 4 months after he and Christina separated.
Sources connected with Tarek and Christina tell us ... when Tarek began having feelings for Alyssa, he was warned NOT to date her while she was still an employee. So he essentially canned her, which cleared the way for a romantic relationship.
The video (above) shows Tarek and Alyssa at a Florida Georgia Line concert back in October. Sadly, it didn't last. They broke up later that month.
As we reported, we're told there's still a chance Tarek and Christina will get back together, but we wouldn't put money on it.

Christina El Moussa What Wedding Ring?
Christina El Moussa's marital status is complicated, to say the least, which explains why the "Flip or Flop" star is going out of her way to keep her wedding ring a mystery.
Paps got Christina out shopping Tuesday in the OC -- the first time we've seen her since TMZ broke the story about her separation from Tarek. She was rockin' freshly bleached roots, running errands and looking pretty carefree. As her shirt says, "Pink champagne can't complain."
She kept her left hand under wraps though ... so, it's unclear if she's still wearing a wedding band.
As we reported, Christina and Tarek are separating after what they call a "misunderstanding." Witnesses called it Tarek taking off into the woods with a gun ... causing a suicide scare.

'Flip or Flop' Tarek & Christina Still Together ... At Least at Work, For Now

Kenya Moore Ex-BF Has Long Ass Rap Sheet
Kenya Moore's ex is entering Lindsay Lohan and DMX territory after racking up at least 4 arrests within the last year ... TMZ has learned.
We obtained police docs in Georgia that show Matt Jordan's first bust came in March when he was pulled over for swerving, but got arrested on an outstanding warrant.
Next up, 2 arrests in June! The first for speeding and driving on a suspended license -- and just 2 days later he was back in cuffs for a failure to appear warrant.
He saved the best, or worst, for last. In September, Jordan was driving past cops and allegedly shouted homophobic slurs at them. Things escalated and officers ended up firing a Taser into his back, which they say he ripped out and fled into the woods. Cops went to his car, found his ID and arrested him 4 days later for felony obstruction and misdemeanor disorderly conduct.
Kenya's also accused him of throwing her clothes out of her house during an argument, damaging her property, breaking into her garage and spray-painting her security cameras. Jordan was not arrested for those alleged incidents.
Jordan's recently claimed his relationship with the "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star was mostly fake, and producers just portrayed him as the crazy bf.
His rap sheet says otherwise.
