Published | Updated

'Real Housewives' producers are ready to Make Atlanta Great Again, which means bringing back NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak ... and the infamous frenemies just might be up for it.

Sources close to the show tell us execs want the milestone 10th season to be HUGE, and since fans have been clamoring to see NeNe and Kim reunited ... they're trying to make it happen. Previous attempts to get them for a spin-off failed ... due to scheduling conflicts, but we're told that won't be an issue this time around.

We're told producers put out feelers already and there's definite interest on the part of both women. No formal offer's been made yet, but the fact Kim is doing a cameo at the end of season 9 is a good sign a deal is close.

We can see it already ... "Welcome back, Wig!"

GOTTA USE YOUR HEAD

Who's got the balls to talk trash to LeBron James???? (besides Charles Barkley) ... how about the GREATEST competitor in the history of "The Challenge!!!"

TMZ Sports spoke with 'Challenge' legend Johnny Bananas ... who's DOMINATED on the MTV show for years ... and he strongly believes LeBron wouldn't stand a chance in his world.

FYI, "The Challenge" is a bunch of hot dudes and chicks who party their faces off and sometimes bang each other at night ... and then go to war in grueling physical competitions during the day. New season premieres tonight.

It's crazy ... these people are legit athletes.

So, we asked Johnny how a world-class physical specimen like LeBron would hold up. He ain't too confident in the King.

'The Bachelor' Nick's Super Down With Corinne ... Lies and Taylor Be Damned!

Published | Updated

Nick Viall seems to have his mind made up about who he likes on "The Bachelor" -- and all signs point to Corinne ... whether she's two-faced or not.

On Monday night, Taylor made it clear she wasn't leaving -- after getting booted last week -- without telling Nick all about Corinne's lies and back-stabbing ways.

Nick seems to take her message to heart ... that is, until he leaves with Corinne ... and quickly proceeds to make out with her.

CAN'T PHASE ME

Offset from Migos tells TMZ Sports he lost $50,000 betting on the ATL Falcons Sunday night ... which would be a big deal if he didn't make it back IMMEDIATELY following the game.

In fact, Offset says he lost $10,000 on a bet to fellow rapper Blac Youngsta.

But Offset -- who had a MASSIVE wad of cash on him -- didn't care. Maybe because he was leaving the game with 'Love and Hip Hop' star Cardi B.

It's good to be handsome and wealthy.

Farrah Abraham This Real Estate Stuff Really Stinks

Published | Updated

Farrah Abraham can do a lot in certain areas, but it looks like real estate is above her pay grade.

The "Teen Mom" star is close to turning her Hollywood Hills pad into a fire sale ... changing the asking price 3 times in just 7 months. She listed the house in July -- 3 months after she bought it -- for $879k. Three months later she upped the price to $1 mil ... but no takers.

The new price -- $845k for the 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 2 story townhouse.

She's also sunk into it around $100k in upgrades.

Farrah has mad skills in certain areas ... just not real estate.

Arnold to Trump Dude, Let's Trade Jobs

Published | Updated

Arnold Schwarzenegger just fired back at Donald Trump, telling the president if he's so obsessed with ratings, why not just do a switcheroo and go back to what appears to be his true passion?

Arnold just blasted Trump for blasting him at the National Prayer Breakfast Thursday. Trump asked everyone to take a moment and pray for the movie star because his ratings, according to Trump, are a "disaster."

Arnold's people just added, "Arnold is praying that President Trump can start improving his own approval ratings, which were the worst in history for an incoming President, by taking his job seriously and working inclusively."

Strange times.

Donald Trump Trashes Arnold Schwarzenegger 'Say a Prayer' for 'Apprentice' Ratings

Published | Updated

Donald Trump just cut off his nose to spite his face by calling out Arnold Schwarzenegger and the show which supposedly lines the president's pockets with money.

Trump was at the National Prayer Breakfast in D.C. Thursday when he took aim at the show he helped create like a heat-seeking missile, saying the ratings "went right down the tubes."

He then told the prayer-friendly group to say one for the movie star. He also took a shot at his co-creator, Mark Burnett, who came out toward the end of the campaign and said he did not support Trump.

Trump did not address the fact that his ratings were slipping when he bowed out.

Stevie J Pleads Guilty in Child Support Case ... Forced to Pay $1.3 Mil

Published | Updated

Stevie J's failure to pay child support just smacked him in the face, and wallet -- the judge is ordering him to pay $1,304,835.86 ... and that's getting off easy.

Stevie was forced to fork over the dough to wipe the slate on back child support owed to a baby mama. He'll also be on probation for 3 years, unless he pays off the $1.3 mil sooner than that.

Stevie made quite the impassioned plea to the judge, saying -- "I accept full responsibility for not fully financially supporting my children when I was younger, but I've stepped up to the plate now and I fully support my children not only financially, but they are the closest individuals to me."

TMZ broke the story ... federal prosecutors wanted Stevie to do hard time after grossly falling behind on his payments.

He could've gotten 6 months behind bars. Now it's just financial pain.

Scott Disick Bolted from Costa Rica After Blowout Fight with Kris and Kim

Published | Updated

Turns out, there's a good reason Scott Disick's been partying in Miami the past couple days ... he pissed off the Kardashians.

Sources close to Scott tell us ... he secretly flew a girl to Costa Rica -- where the Kardashians were filming their show -- and put her up at a hotel where the crew was staying. It's pretty clear ... the Kardashians didn't want an interloper while they filmed, so Scott tried to keep it on the QT.

We're told someone from the crew ratted Scott out, telling Kris and Kim about Scott's muse. Our sources say Kim and Kris had a ferocious argument with Scott. It had nothing to do with Kourtney ... that relationship has been over for a long time. They felt it was disruptive and disrespectful.

Scott didn't see it their way and bolted to Miami. It's unclear what happened to the girl, but days later he was with another chick ... and the next day still another.

Scott, we're told, is more than happy hanging in Miami ... way happier than shooting the show.

"The Wall" host Chris Hardwick repeatedly points out that the Wall giveth and taketh away ... and it was a huge giver on Tuesday night.

A lucky couple was down to $109 before they answered a question correctly that gave them 3 balls to drop ... and one of them landed in the million dollar slot. When it was all said and done, they walked away with $1,100,098 for their family.

Fun note -- the question the guy answered right to score the triple ball drop was about the famous viral video, "Charlie Bit My Finger."

'The Bachelor' Nick Digs THREE Black Women ... Who Knew??!!

Published | Updated

Nick Viall is 5 weeks in and something cray is happening on "The Bachelor" -- 3 black women are still in the running, and at least one is becoming a fan fave!

Rachel kinda killed it on Monday night's episode, by all accounts ... doing a sexy NOLA date with Nick, who copped to falling for her during dinner.

Not that we see color, but fact is the 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' shows get knocked for black contestants never getting a fair shake. Lawsuits have been filed over it, after all.

Nick's been equal opportunity -- he kicked off 3 black women, but 3 are still getting roses.

Yes we can, America. Yes we can.

Celine Dion 'The Voice' Wanted Her In The Rotating Chair

Published | Updated

Celine Dion's guest appearance on "The Voice" has been a long time coming, but it's not going down exactly how the show originally wanted it ... TMZ has learned.

Our 'Voice' sources tell us Celine's been approached to do the gig a few times, but politely declined given the demanding schedule of her Las Vegas residency. We're told she was first approached to be a full-time judge in the rotating chair like Adam Levine or Blake Shelton, but since it's a several month-long commitment, Celine declined.

She's accepted an offer to coach since it only requires two days of filming. As for getting in the rotating chair in the future, NBC knows they'd have to cough up a lot of dough since she banks so much off her Vegas shows, so it's probably not going to happen. Regardless, "The Voice" will go on ...

'Flip or Flop' Stars Want to Keep Flippin' ... Divorce be Damned!!

Published | Updated

Tarek and Christina El Moussa might be done with their marriage, but they're not ready to break up their hit HGTV show.

Sources close to production tell us ... the ex-couple wants to keep filming "Flip or Flop" beyond this season, and there are talks to make it happen. We're told it's totally in the network's hands though ... not theirs.

Our sources say HGTV execs are closely eyeing ratings on the new season before making a decision ... and so far they're thrilled. Remember, Tarek and Christina crushed the competition last week.

We're told there's been talk of a spin-off or 2 -- but it's unlikely they'd rock the boat if "Flip or Flop" keeps sailing along.

Brandi Glanville to Joanna Krupa Turn Over Your Vagina Diaries For 'Smelly' Lawsuit

Published | Updated

Joanna Krupa has to hand over medical records that could prove whether her vagina is "smelly" ... as Brandi Glanville has alleged.

A judge signed the order in Joanna's defamation case against Brandi, which says she has to release her gynecological records from 2000 to 2005. According to the docs, Joanna also has to produce any correspondence with Lisa Vanderpump, Mohamed Hadid and Andy Cohen that relates to the case.

Apparently, her vagina's been a hot topic among 'Housewives' stars.

You'll recall, Joanna sued Brandi 2 years ago for making the "smelly" comment on 'Watch What Happens Live.'

Joanna's gotta be determined to win this lawsuit if she's willing to air her vaginal records in open court.

We talked to Carson Kressley -- the former star of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" -- who gave us the straight dope on how he got word about Netflix rebooting the series.

His reaction's not all that surprising, as we've reported, but he's got a good recommendation for who could fill his shoes. At least Ariana Grande would watch.
