Toby Willis -- the dad from TLC's "The Willis Family" -- is heading to prison for 40 years for raping a child more than a decade ago.

Willis pled guilty to 4 counts of child rape Tuesday in court in Cheatham County, Tennessee. He received two 25-year sentences and two 40-year sentences to run concurrently ... and we're told he won't get out until 2057.

As we reported ... the TLC star was arrested in September after an investigation revealed he had a sexual encounter approximately 12 years ago with an underage female.

"The Willis Family" featured Toby, his wife and their 12 children between the ages of 5 and 24 who make up a country music band. The show was canceled last year, before charges were filed.

Rachel Lindsay got treated to a harsh truth on "The Bachelorette" from one of her favorite suitors ... with him telling her he won't propose if he isn't ready.

Fan fave contestant Peter Kraus got brutally honest with Rachel on Monday night's episode -- first telling her a super sad story about his last girlfriend, and then saying if he felt any doubt about proposing come game time ... he would let her know.

It's a bold move on Peter's part -- she could've cut him right then and there. Lucky for him, Rachel seemed to appreciate the truth more than the possibility of being left hanging by the end of the show ... and she gave him a rose.

Rachel will be meeting Peter's fam next week ... and those of at least a couple other contestants.

Haley's attorney Dina LaPolt tells TMZ ... the bouncers assaulted Haley, without provocation. She also says, "After forcefully removing [Haley] they violently beat her friend, who sustained multiple injuries. We believe that she will be exonerated of all charges once the investigation is completed."

LaPolt added ... Haley plans to take legal action against the bar and the staff.

Former "American Idol" contestant Haley Reinhart got busted for punching a bouncer in the head ... TMZ has learned.

Cops say Haley got arrested early Saturday morning at a suburban Chicago pub called the Lamplighter Inn. Officers showed up around 2 AM after bouncers tossed Haley and some friends for knocking over a table. Cops say as they were being shown the door -- Haley, who stands at a generous 5'2" -- uncorked a closed fist on the bouncer.

She was taken into custody and booked for battery.

Haley went deep into season 10 of 'Idol' ... taking third place. She's currently on the Netflix show "F Is for Family."

Seems like she's vying for a spot in the UFC too.

"Bachelor in Paradise" has a new way of reeling in viewers ... tapping into the sex scandal that temporarily shipwrecked the show.

Production sources tell TMZ, host Chris Harrison held a powwow with the cast on the first day back to film the show after the Warner Bros. probe concluded there was no sexual assault ... and the cameras were rolling as he took people back to the Corinne Olympios/DeMario Jackson sexual escapade in the pool.

We're told Harrison dramatically recounted how a producer expressed concerns and it turned into a full blown scandal. After taking everyone through the investigation, he paused, then asked the cast if they were comfortable continuing, and gave them a chance to pack up and leave.

To absolutely no one's surprise, everyone stayed, drank and even banged in the boom boom room.

Lemonade ... it comes from lemons.

Blac Chyna's alleged ex-bf might be getting ready to spill more of her secrets ... but he still thinks Rob Kardashian's revenge porn stunt was wrong.

We got Pilot Jones leaving Rostrum Records in L.A. -- where he's currently filming a reality show -- and we asked what he made of Rob's social media eruption.

Pilot's response seems pretty tame for someone who's supposedly about to dish even more dirt about Chyna.. As we reported ... he plans to accuse her of a breach of dating ethics.

Still, he doesn't condone posting her nudes. Also ... karma.

DeMario Jackson doesn't care that some people think he committed sexual assault on "Bachelor in Paradise" -- despite being cleared -- and he seems to target the haters as racists from Oklahoma.

DeMario was at a WeHo spa this week, when he told our photog he has no regrets over doing the show. He says he met some great people, although we're guessing one of them is not Corinne Olympios.

It's unclear why he's got such a thing against Oklahoma. Hated the musical?

'Millionaire Matchmaker' Patti Stanger got the wrong kind of room service after cops say someone broke into her hotel room, ransacked the place and ran off with $300k worth of valuables.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Patti and production employees were staying at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel in early May, filming scenes for the upcoming season. We're told someone broke the lock to the first floor patio door of her room and went to town. Patti was not in the room at the time.

Law enforcement sources tell us approximately $300k in jewelry, clothing and purses were stolen. The case is under investigation but no arrests have been made. It's unclear if there's surveillance video.

If you thought Steve-O was wild in "Jackass," then strap in for his new project that supposedly puts Johnny Knoxville's stunts to shame ... with things like human snow angels doused in burning rocket engine fuel.

Steve-O posted a video Thursday in which he's covered in boils from what look like 1st or maybe even 2nd degree burns ... from the "fire angels" stunt. He won't show us the stunt ... just the aftermath. It's part of a new comedy special Steve O's doing with "Jackass" director Jeff Tremaine.

No word on a release date yet -- but this sounds epic ... and painful.

The Southern frat boy from MTV's "The Real World: Paris" was arrested this week for DUI.

Law enforcement sources tell us Clyde Amerson -- known as Ace on the 2003 reality show -- was arrested and booked Wednesday morning for DUI in Carrollton, Georgia after allegedly rear-ending someone on the road.

Cops say they responded to the accident -- in which nobody was injured -- and felt Ace was under the influence since he appeared drowsy, slurred his speech and had trouble with his balance. Our law enforcement sources say he admitted taking Benadryl and Rx pills.

We're told police drew blood, and toxicology tests are pending.

Ace was taken into custody and charged with 2 misdemeanors -- 1 count of DUI and 1 count of following too closely.

"Bachelor in Paradise" star Amanda Stanton just finished shooting the show, and she says the new rules didn't really get in the way when it came to hooking up.

Amanda flew into John Wayne Airport from Mexico Wednesday and told our photog she followed the new rules in the wake of the Corinne/DeMario fiasco ... namely, making it clear sex is consensual.

She also adhered to the 2 drink per hour rule, although it sounds like Amanda believes 2 drinks were required!

Kelly Dodd's 4th of July got real when she got into a fight with a guy who she says tried stealing from her.

The 'Real Housewives of Orange County' star tells TMZ she was partying with some girlfriends at Descanso Beach Club on Catalina Island, when a random guy tried stealing her drinks as well as her sunglasses and purse.

She says she confronted him, and that's when he got physical and punched her in the stomach. She countered with a kick. You see her yelling at him and that's when security stepped in.

The man was was kicked out of the party, but he wasn't deterred ... he tried coming back.

Rob Kardashian might have an ally in his attempted takedown of Blac Chyna ... Pilot Jones, one of the guys she allegedly dated after one of their many splits.

Pilot's the guy Rob physically threatened over text ... after photos surfaced showing Pilot and Blac Chyna making out.

Pilot's moved to Miami, documenting his life post-BC for an upcoming reality show called "A-List: Miami." It's been filming for a few months and we're told he goes into great detail about their relationship ... mostly how Chyna used him to goose her TV show with Rob.

Production sources tell us Pilot has been trying to get Chyna and Rob on his show to talk about the makeout photos.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" wanna switch things up this season, and it's up to former "America's Next Top Model" winner Eva Marcille to pass the test.

Sources close to the production tell TMZ ... producers invited Eva for the upcoming season to see if she fits with the current cast. We're told she's already shot a few scenes with NeNe Leakes at her home.

Eva -- who won season 3 of 'Top Model' -- could possibly replace Cynthia Bailey or Porsha Williams because we're told one of them might be phased out next season on account of their story lines drying up.

Bob the Drag Queen is calling out LL Cool J and Chrissy Teigen -- insisting their show, "Lip Sync Battle," copied "RuPaul's Drag Race," and not the other way around.

Bob, who won season 8 of 'Drag Race,' ... wants to shut up the haters who claim the recent season 9 finale ripped off the 'LSB' format. Bob says his show's always featured a sudden death lip sync battle between the show's lowest scoring drag queens.

Not to mention, 'Drag Race' was already on its 7th season when 'LSB' premiered.

Bottom line -- don't come for Bob, 'Lip Sync' fans, and she won't come for you.

Tarek El Moussa's new crib is no flip or flop ... it's a newly constructed home in one of Newport Beach's most sought-after neighborhoods that's costing him $15k a month.

Tarek's been renting the 4 bedroom, 2 bath waterfront home on the Balboa Peninsula since October, a few months before he filed for divorce from his "Flip or Flop" co-star and wife, Christina.

It's a pretty cool spot steps from the beach with great outdoor space for entertaining and enjoying the ocean breeze ... especially from the rooftop deck. Another bonus -- it's a good 30 miles away from where he and Christina lived.

Corinne Olympios is satisfied with her legal team's investigation into the "Bachelor in Paradise" pool incident with DeMario Jackson.

Corinne says, "I felt victimized by the fact that others were judging me through conflicting and unsubstantiated reports, while I myself had no recollection of the events that transpired. My team’s investigation into this matter has now been completed to my satisfaction."

As we reported, Corinne hired Marty Singer to represent her. After Warner Bros. announced its investigation revealed no wrongdoing on DeMario's part, Singer said he would continue looking into what happened when Corinne and DeMario had a drunken hookup in the pool.

Corinne adds, "My intent over the past few weeks has been to learn and understand what happened on June 4. While I never filed complaints or accusations against anyone associated with Bachelor in Paradise, my team and I felt it was very important to be thorough in getting to the bottom of what had occurred."
