Rita Ora was out to get one of the contestants on "America's Next Top Model," because they both banged Calvin Harris ... so claims the chick who was booted.

Krislian Rodriguez got her walking papers quickly on season 23, after Rita slammed her for "oozing sex" ... a weird comment given that's what models generally do.

There was also this ... at one point during the competition, Rita whispered to a fellow judge, "I just think we're making a mistake." Some people on the set felt Rita was talking about Krislian.

We got the "Botched" stars at The Palm in Bev Hills Wednesday night, where they dished on her calling out haters who body shamed her for the halftime show -- and they shed some light on their real goal as bosses in the cosmetics game.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
