Lonzo Ball Mom's Stroke Rehab Featured In Reality Show
LaVar Ball just dropped the trailer for his new reality show -- which puts a spotlight on his wife's recovery from a stroke that was so severe, the family admits they didn't know if she would live or die.
Tina Ball suffered the stroke back in February -- and has essentially stayed out of the spotlight as her sons Lonzo, LaMelo and LiAngelo rose to basketball superstardom.
LaVar has been working with her in their Chino Hills home -- and finally allowed reality show cameras to document her recovery.
One powerful scene shows LaVar re-teaching Tina how to say "I love you."
At one point, Lonzo admits his mother's medical emergency "hit me kinda hard."
The 10-episode series, "Ball In the Family," debuts Thursday and also features much less serious topics -- like Lonzo's relationship with his girlfriend and LaMelo's youth basketball career.
Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Video.

Kylie Jenner is a "heaux" who feeds off attention and gets injections in her lips and her fat ass ... this according to "Cash Me Outside" girl Danielle Bregoli's new music video.
The 14-year-old rapper turned her diss guns on the reality star in her new music video for her single, "These Heaux" ... and TMZ's obtained a short clip of the vid in which Danielle injects a faux Kylie. No, really, she injects Kylie's lips and ass. Danielle ... blunt as hell since 2003.
TMZ broke the story ... Danielle's "These Heaux" (pronounced "Hoes") took aim at all kinds of bitches -- broke, fake and jealous ones with lyrics like, "These hoes be lackin', see me in back and ... they talk all this sh*t but don't say it in person."

Corinne Olympios Talks 'BIP' Scandal ... I Never Blamed DeMario!
Corinne Olympios finally spoke out about her "Bachelor in Paradise" scandal with DeMario Jackson, and wanted it known ... he did nothing wrong.
Corinne sat down with Chris Harrison on Tuesday's 'BiP' tell-all episode and confirmed TMZ's story -- she mixed meds with booze and suffered a hard blackout when she hooked up with DeMario.
Chris also confirmed our reporting about Corinne appearing very with it during the ordeal that eventually shut down production-- so much so producers thought she was fine.
The bigger takeaway ... Corinne officially exonerated DeMario of any wrongdoing and said there's no ill will on her end. She also said she never blamed him for anything.
In hindsight ... Corinne calling herself a victim probably didn't help the situation -- something Chris didn't press her on. But, as she puts it ... it is what it is.

'Big Brother' Star Jason Dent Laughs About Raping Housemate's Wife
"Big Brother" contestant Jason Dent thinks rape is seriously funny -- he went full LOL while talking about having sex with another housemate's wife ... while forcing the guy's kids to watch.
The footage is pretty disturbing ... Jason was cracking up on the Internet live feed Monday, joking he was going to f**k Kevin Schlehuber's wife if Kevin turned on him in the game. A female housemate, Alex Ow, was laughing along as Jason joked he'd also tie up Kevin's daughters and "make them watch."
Fair to say ... the 'BB' house is getting out of control. Remember, Jason also made a rapey comment earlier in the season -- saying he'd hold down a female housemate so other guys would be able to 'backdoor her.' Not to mention the rampant butt and genital poking that's been going down.
Interestingly, a few weeks ago Alex got upset about the sexual shenanigans because she has a family member who'd been raped. This time around, she was totally lighthearted.

Frankie Delgado isn't quite the famous face he used to be, and cops had to step in when the former reality star tried to get through VIP at the Mayweather/McGregor fight.
The incident went down when the ex-'Hills' star tried breezing past security Saturday night outside the VIP entrance to T-Mobile Arena. Our law enforcement sources tell us Frankie tried to walk in without showing credentials, and ignored security's objections.
Witnesses tell us he never used the words, but his attitude reeked of "You know who I am."
A Las Vegas PD Sergeant stepped in to stop Frankie while security sorted out the matter. The tense moment was captured in this photo, and despite how it looks ... everything worked out for Frankie.
Someone eventually confirmed he was on the list, and he watched the fight from VIP.
Fun fact: Frankie's still A-list at huge events! We underestimated "The Hills."

'Teen Mom 3' Star Briana DeJesus Baby Daddy Busted Over Weed ... Dude, You Forgot Something
"Teen Mom 3" star Briana DeJesus' baby daddy let a little thing like a weed citation snowball into a warrant for his arrest ... all 'cause he never showed up in court.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Devoin Austin was arrested Friday in Orange County, FL on an arrest warrant that was issued way back in August 2016.
The warrant stems from a traffic stop when cops cited Devoin for possession of weed and drug paraphernalia. He was supposed to be arraigned a month later, but never appeared -- hence, the warrant.
He could've gotten up to a year in jail or $1,000 fine for the original misdemeanor.

Reality TV Lawyer Loredana Nesci Boyfriend Found Guilty of Murder ... In Stabbing Death
Loredana Nesci's boyfriend has been found guilty of murdering the lawyer-turned-reality star ... this after she was found stabbed to death in her home 2 years ago.
A jury found 53-year-old Robert Brian Reagan guilty Friday of second-degree murder after he was arrested in connection to her death in 2015, when she was found dead at their home in Redondo Beach. They spent about a week deliberating after a 2 week trial.
The couple had gotten into a domestic dispute, which led to her being stabbed to death with a hunting knife.
Reagan claimed her death was an accident. During the trial, Reagan's defense team argued she'd impaled herself on the knife after the couple had gotten into a physical struggle. The prosecution said he did it purposely to avoid a custody battle over their 5-year-old son.
Nesci was the star of her own show on Sundance TV, "Loredana, Esq." ... which ran for a season back in 2014. Nesci had represented a lot of celebrity clients, including wrestling legend Scott Hall.
She was 47.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... officers in Wyomissing, PA responded Tuesday to a dentist's office to handle an argument Jon and Kate were having over one of their 8 children.
We're told one of the parents took the kid to the dentist, but the ex-reality stars/exes got into it over who'd be taking her home. An argument erupted over the custody order.
As we reported ... that deal of theirs -- settled more than 7 years ago -- is under wraps, but involves both parents having some sort of shared custody.
Jon ended up taking the kid with him, and cops told the pair to take up their gripes with a judge. Nobody was arrested in the incident.

'American Idol' Alum William Hung I'm Kind Of a Big Deal ... In Chandler, Arizona
"American Idol" alum William Hung can still pack a full house, which is exactly what happened on Saturday night at a bar in Arizona.
Will -- who went viral for his attempt at Ricky Martin's "She Bangs" on 'A.I.' in 2004 -- played at the Third Base bar in Chandler.
We're told the bar booked him for $1k and paid for his airfare and travel just so he could perform there, and Will managed to bring in some 250 patrons.
Will lived it up like a true VIP ... he got his own booth and ended up signing autographs and taking pics with fans, who also bought him shots. We'd say it helped with the nerves but, judging from the footage, he's a pro.

Sources close to Ray J tell TMZ ... his legal team and the production company have been negotiating for months but talks have hit a wall ... so RJ's manager, David Weintraub, has given his legal team the green light to file papers.
The issue -- Ray J says 'CBB' agreed to pay him $1 million and he says the show's gotta cough it up because 'CBB' unfairly kicked him out following a dental emergency.
TMZ broke the story ... Ray J was booted from the UK show back in January after complaining of an unbearable toothache that required a dentist to visit on set, 8 pain killers and an ambulance ride to the hospital after blacking out.
