Lisa Vanderpump's lawyers didn't screw the pooch on the lawsuit she was facing over doggy clothing -- it's been dropped for good.

The suit -- filed by dog boutique Fifi & Romeo against Lisa -- has been dismissed with prejudice, meaning they can't refile it. Looks like Lisa might have thrown them a bone, as in a few bucks, because F&R asked the court to toss the case.

We broke the story ... the boutique sued Lisa for allegedly failing to promote their company after they agreed to dress Giggy for events and photo shoots.

Senator Marco Rubio knows about the new show 'Floribama,' but he confesses he doesn't have a beach bod worthy of a cameo.

We got the Senator from Florida Monday at Reagan Airport and wanted to know if he takes offense to the show making it appear his state is filled with ne'er-do-wells.

Rubio isn't up on his reality shows ... he says because there are slightly more pressing issues like North Korea's missile program and looming nuclear war.

Khloe Kardashian was doing her best Monday to hide her growing baby bump.

Paps got Khloe leaving the studio where the Kardashians film their confessionals for their show, and she made sure to keep her purse well in front of her belly on the way out. She was also wearing a super loose sweater.

We broke the story ... Khloe's preggo with her first kid -- and her BF, Tristan Thompson, is the daddy.

She's a little more than 5 months pregnant ... so we expect to see more cover in the coming months.

Bring on the bigger purses and sweat suits!

One of the stars of "Little Women: LA" is taking a bunch of doctors to court for a BIG payday ... 'cause she claims they screwed up her neck in surgery.

Christy Gibel just sued some M.D.s from a surgery center in Beverly Hills called 90210 Surgery Medical Center as well as Cedars-Sinai and other private practices, claiming the whole lot screwed up a spinal cord surgery she underwent with them in 2016.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Christy says she went under last November for a procedure called an anterior discectomy and spinal cord decompression, and during a couple post-op visits ... the doctors overseeing the matter misled her despite worsening symptoms.

She says she felt her left eye drooping, and her tongue swelling, and was unable to speak for a while -- all of which she says she was told would subside over time ... but it didn't. She also claims they admitted her jugular vein was nicked during surgery.

The reality star is suing for negligence and asking for an unspecified amount in damages and medical costs related to the alleged botched surgery. We've reached out to 90210 and Cedars ... so far, no word back.

The star of TLC's reality hit "Long Island Medium," Theresa Caputo, and her husband of 28 years, Larry Caputo, have split ... but there might be hope for them yet.

The couple released a statement Sunday saying ... "After 28 years of marriage, we have decided to legally separate. We will always love each other and our two wonderful children."

They go on to say ... "We are united in supporting each other and our family. Please respect our privacy during this time."

However, sources directly tied to the couple tell TMZ that while there are no regrets about their long relationship, there may be room for a reconciliation in the future. We're told they're taking some time apart, but might not be fully done -- as they still love each other.

Theresa and Larry have been featured on the TLC show since 2011 -- with Theresa meeting with people to predict their futures and provide psychic insights. She claims she can communicate with the dead ... and recently indicated on the show her marriage was on the rocks.

Rachel Lindsay's officially in engagement mode.

The 'Bachelorette' winner threw a huge engagement party Thursday with her fiance Bryan Abasolo, the guy she gave her final rose to on the reality show. The couple's party was held at a fancy crib overlooking the picturesque beaches off the Malibu coast.

Rachel wore a white gown while Bryan opted for the blazer-no-tie combo. This is at least the third engagement party for the couple ... first in Dallas and then in Miami.

Kyle Richards and super real estate agent Mauricio Umansky want to get the heck outta Bel-Air -- makes sense because she's a Bev Hills housewife after all -- so she's giving folks a couple options to take over her pad.

The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star has put her North Bel-Air mansion up for sale OR lease -- creating options for prospective buyers or renters. If you're in it for the long haul, the price is $6.995 mil ... tenants gotta pay $50k/month.

The 7 bed, 8 bath mammoth home is pretty much the definition of luxury, if that's your thing. It's got a private home theater, a pool and spa, a lighted multi-purpose sports court, a chef-style kitchen, marble fireplace, a wet bar and on and on. In other words, it's nice.

BTW, Kyle and Mauricio just bought a new house in Encino ... so she's still not technically a Bev Hills housewife.

Jennifer Hudson is returning to work while still in the middle of the custody battle with David Otunga, and if nothing else ... she's determined to feel cozy.

J Hud was in Manchester Thursday, wearing big puffy slippers, sweats and a knitted hat. She's there to shoot her second season as a 'Voice UK' judge.

As we reported, Jennifer lifted the protective order against Otunga on Monday ... allowing him to have David Jr. while she's working overseas.

"Bad Girls Club" star Natalie Nunn claims an American Airlines employee insulted her daughter and kicked her out of first class ... but our AA sources tell us they're not to blame.

Natalie was flying back to Sacramento after visiting family in Indianapolis for Thanksgiving, but had a connection in Dallas. She went off on social media claiming she'd been thrown off her Indy-Dallas flight and during the fiasco, an AA agent insulted her 7-month-old baby's name ... which happens to be Journey.

Our airline sources say Natalie messed up since she changed her ticket but never paid the difference, so it was never confirmed. A supervisor eventually stepped in and Natalie got a first class seat on the flight she wanted and AA hooked her up with free wine, but when we spoke to her Monday it was clear she's still looking for an apology.

An AA rep says they've attempted to reach out to Natalie and are investigating the incident.

Ray J's wife, Princess Love, is pregnant despite what the doubters say... and the sonogram proves it.

Ray J went on "The Real" Monday morning and announced he and Princess are expecting their first child. After the announcement, a bunch of people on social media were calling BS.

The sonogram was performed 2 weeks ago.

We're told the two tried for a long time to get pregnant, and it finally happened. The baby is expected in the summer.

Fergie might not be joining FOX's new singing competition 'The Four' as a judge, but she'll still get plenty of face time because she's signed on to host.

Fergie announced the news via social media Monday.

As we previously reported ... Fergie had been one of the 3 female candidates for the final judge's seat, which ultimately went to Meghan Trainor. DJ Khaled, Diddy and music honcho Charlie Walk round out the rest of the judging panel for 'The Four.'

The show is supposed to have a hip-hop influence, so Fergie should fit right in, given her time with the Black Eyed Peas.

Cardi B and Offset aren't the only rap couple dropping songs and videos together in 2017, so is "Little Women: Dallas" star, Emily Fernandez, aka rapper Right Cheek, and her new rapping beau.

Emily's dating Dallas rapper Dreadz 448. They've been together for 4 months. They've already collaborated on a track called "Lifetime" and the video drops Friday.

If you're wondering about Lontel, Emily's boyfriend in Season 2 ... we're told he's out of the picture for good. He'd been heavily featured on the show since they tragically lost their infant son, JJ, last year. We're told Emily ended it after Lontel told her he only wanted to be a sperm donor and nothing more if they tried for another kid.

No word if Dreadz will be on next season of "Little Women: Dallas." The show filmed their season 2 reunion show last month.

The "Little Women: Dallas" reunion went full Maury Povich when Bri Barlup revealed her ex, Wooda, is the guy who knocked her up ... and he ain't happy about it.

The reunion doesn't air until December, but we're told the taping ended with Wooda storming off the set. Producers brought him out as a surprise guest, and he was blindsided by Bri's baby bombshell.

We're told there was a chance the father was another dude Bri had been dating after they broke up ... so Wooda is demanding a paternity test. The exes already have a kid, 3-year-old Malik.

As for Bri, we're told she's ecstatic about keeping her baby daddy count at 1.

Chip and Joanna Gaines hosted their last season premiere party with over 100 of their closest friends ... and, yes, that's Chip without his trademark beautiful locks. We'll explain.

The "Fixer Upper" stars had a season 5 premiere party Tuesday night and watched it on the jumbotron at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas. It's where the Baylor Bears football team plays and the city where Chip and Joanna's company, Magnolia Market, is based.

About 150 people attended -- from contractors and designers to Magnolia workers to people who work for the super popular HGTV show. As we reported ... the couple announced back in September the 5th season would be their last. We're still trying to recover from the devastating news.

Chip and Joanna thanked everyone for turning the show into a huge success. And for those wondering why Chip's got a new hairdo -- he shaved his head earlier this month for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital ... helping raise $230k.

Seriously ... Chip and Joanna. Perfect.

David Foster quickly hit the reject button when some random chick -- to him, anyway -- tried to get in his car to leave with him ... and it FREAKED him the hell out.

The bizarre incident went down Monday night as the legendary producer was leaving Craig's. Things got super weird at his car -- while David was talking to our guy, 'Real Housewives of Orange County' star Kelly Dodd, walked up the passenger side and said, "You're gonna have another housewife."

You've gotta see David's reaction. Yeah, he was married to Yolanda Hadid, but he's definitely NOT looking for an encore 'Housewife' performance ... which Kelly learned the hard way.

Ass. Kicked. To the curb ... in this awesome video.

David's spokeswoman tells TMZ, "In today’s environment, what Kelly did was careless, inappropriate and disrespectful. David drove away in his car, alone and shaken. The video and her remarks speak for itself."

Meghan Trainor will fill the remaining seat on FOX's new singing competition "The Four" ... TMZ has learned.

Production sources say FOX execs were noodling on 3 female candidates for the final spot -- Trainor, Fergie and BeBe Rexha. She'll be joined by some superstar talent on the panel ... DJ Khaled, Diddy and music honcho Charlie Walk.

The show -- which has an emphasis on hip-hop -- features 4 contestants who will face challengers throughout the course of the season who try and knock them off their spots. The winner will start a music career mentored by "The Four" judges.

We're told Meghan will actually tour with the winner and help launch the singer's career.

The show is set to premiere in January.
