"Big Brother" alums Caleb Reynolds and Rachel Reillyare taking their backstabbing and bitching to the road ... TMZ has learned they're among the former houseguests who've signed on for the new season of "The Amazing Race."

As we previously reported, the show got some inspo from last season's winners -- Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf -- who previously met and became a couple on "Big Brother," so production decided to pool contestants from past seasons of "Big Brother" for the new season.

Caleb, who's also known as Beast Mode Cowboy, appeared on season 16 of "Big Brother". He was also on Seasons 32 and 34 of "Survivor," so he's got some good experience for the around-the-world trek.

As for Rachel ... she's one to watch, too, after appearing on Season 12 of "Big Brother", and then winning Season 13 during which she met now-husband Brendon Villegas. Brenchel then went on to come in third place on 'Amazing Race 20' and 'All-Stars.'

After undergoing surgery to save his testicles, St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina should avoid stimulation to that area for at least 6 weeks ... so says the doctors from "Botched."

Dr. Terry Dubrow and Dr. Paul Nassif were both shocked to learn about the injury Molina suffered when he took a 102 mph fastball to the groin during a game on Saturday.

The team officially described the injury as a "pelvic injury with traumatic hematoma" -- but his brother noted that doctors were able to save both of his testicles during a 45-minute emergency surgery.

So, when we saw the "Botched" docs in NYC ... we asked if they had any advice for Molina's recovery.

"The 'in general' for an injury is R.I.C.E. -- rest, ice, compression, elevation," Dubrow said.

"In this situation, I would recommend ice, not so much compression and stay away from any elevation down there ... if you know what I mean."

Danielle Staub tied the knot Saturday in the Bahamas ... and gotta say, it looks pretty nice.

Staub married Marty Caffrey at the Luna Beach Club in Bimini. The 55-year-old "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star chose some of her fellow housewives as bridesmaids -- Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga and Margaret Joseph. Her 2 daughters - Christine and Jillian -- were also bridesmaids.

They chowed down and danced afterward at the nearby Hilton hotel rooftop bar.

Not surprising ... cameras from "Real Housewives of New Jersey" were front and center capturing it all.

Staub and Caffrey have been dating since April, 2016 and they already live together. She's been married twice and he's walked down the isle before as well.

Kylie Jenner isn't letting a little thing like motherhood cramp her style, 'cause Saturday night she hit the Big Apple in a big way.

Kylie was leaving The Mercer Hotel decked out in Alexander Wang ... lookin' motorcycle ready.  She's in town for The Met Gala Monday night.

No sign of Stormi or baby daddy Travis Scott.  They were all in Turks and Caicos celebrating Travis' 26th birthday and Stormi's 3 months BD.

"The Amazing Race" winners Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf -- who met and became a couple on "Big Brother" -- have another bright idea for CBS ... invite "Big Brother's" most polarizing contestants ever to the race.

Cody and Jessica -- who tell us they will NOT return to 'Amazing Race' next season -- tell TMZ ... if there's one guy they'd like to see on the all "Big Brother," 'Amazing Race' cast ... it's Dick "Evel Dick" Donato, the 'BB' season 8 winner and season 13 houseguest. Donato was famous on 'BB' for, shall we say, being a jerk. But an entertaining jerk, for sure.

"The Amazing Race" winners Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf -- who previously met and became a couple on "Big Brother" -- may have led CBS to strike while the iron's hot ... and feature an all-'BB' cast for an upcoming season.

Sources close to production of 'Amazing Race' tell TMZ ... the show reached out to several past "Big Brother" houseguests and has locked down its list of competitors for the new season, which will begin filming soon.

We're told the all-"Big Brother" edition of 'Amazing Race' will feature at least one past 'BB' winner, but several other popular winners declined for family or career reasons. Still, we're told CBS is happy with the final cast ... and they're ready to race around the world.

Our sources say the idea for the "Big Brother"-themed season of 'Amazing Race' came from the success of season 30, which saw former 'BB' stars Cody and Jessica dominate.

5/3 2:39 PM PT -- Doug's attorney, Marty Singer, tells us, "As a result of the pending criminal proceeding of Natalie Sutton's violent assault and battery of Doug Reinhardt, there will be no comment by Mr. Reinhardt at this time."

'The Hills' star Doug Reinhardt was sitting on a couch -- on the mend from a serious knee operation -- when his drunken wife grabbed his metal crutch and gave him a beating ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Natalie Sutton was arrested early Saturday morning in Paradise Valley, AZ and charged with felony assault and battery. Our sources say she and Doug had gone to dinner and returned to their hotel. He sat on the couch where he was recovering from an ACL operation when Natalie suddenly went ballistic, grabbed his metal crutch and began swinging, targeting his bum knee and head.

Doug was injured and bloodied. He called the cops, they arrested Natalie on the spot for the attack. She was released later Saturday and ordered not to go near him.

We've learned Doug filed for divorce on Monday. They married last October.

You may recall Doug had dated celebs in the past, including Paris Hilton and Amanda Bynes. He got engaged to Allie Lutz, but they never married.

Looks like it's time for another fresh start.

Mama June's family has officially expanded by one -- because Honey Boo Boo's big sis just got hitched!

June's 18-year-old daughter, Lauryn "Pumpkin" Shannon tied the knot with her fiance, Joshua Efird, Monday night in Vegas ... and then the whole crew hit the Strip for a dinner at Buca di Beppo.

We broke the story a couple years ago when Pumpkin got engaged to her then 19-year-old BF. They'd only been dating for 9 months, and she was only 16. Despite the age gap, June approved of the engagement because the kids were taking things slow.

The plan then was to wait 'til Pumpkin was 18 before getting married ... and that's exactly what they did. They didn't take it slow in the baby department though -- the couple had a daughter in December.

We're told TV cameras were shooting Pumpkin and the wedding party, so it's a good bet the happy event will be on the new season of "Mama June: From Not to Hot."

Congrats!

Jillian Michaels has the wrong idea about 'Real Housewives' franchise founder Andy Cohen because he doesn't hate women, he just knows when and how to throw shade ... according to 'Real Housewife' Kandi Burruss.

We got Kandi at LAX Tuesday where she defended Cohen against Michaels' comments. The former 'Biggest Loser' coach recently said the 'Housewives' shows prove Cohen hates women, because the ladies have a tendency to tear each other apart.

Andy's already denied the allegation, but now Kandi's got his back ... in a big way. She says Jillian's out of line to blame Andy for all the shade thrown between women.

Three "American Idol" contestants got the boot this week, and Dennis Lorenzo thinks it's complete BS he was one of 'em, just because he was last on the mic.

The former 'Idol' hopeful told us his placement Sunday night in the Top 10 performances might have sunk him even before the voting started. Much like real estate, Dennis believes location is key on 'Idol,' and going last in the lineup meant he had a smaller window to rake in votes.

Dennis says he went along with producers' guarantees that the process was fair regardless of who went first or last -- but after the show, he says folks told him they'd been shut out of the voting process early.

'Millionaire Matchmaker' client Michael Bernback -- the guy accused of raping three women -- just had all charges against him dismissed.

Law enforcement sources tell us prosecutors from the L.A. County District Attorney's Office stated Tuesday in court they were unable to proceed with the case and filed a motion in the interest of justice to drop the case. The judge then dismissed all 8 felony and 3 misdemeanor charges.

TMZ broke the story, Bernback claimed in legal docs he met all three women on sexual hookup websites and at least two of those women knew they'd engage in bondage and/or anal sex.

The documents also revealed during one sexual encounter, Bernback tied a woman up with several bondage devices and she allowed him to urinate in her mouth in the shower.

Bernback's attorney, Blair Berk, tells TMZ, "Michael Leslie Bernback was vindicated today when the L.A. County District Attorney's Office asked the Court to dismiss all charges against him. Mr. Bernback maintained his innocence from the start."

Berk continues, "His attorneys presented evidence to prosecutors that contradicted the claims of his accusers and requested that the L.A. District Attorney undertake a thorough re-examination of the case, initially investigated by the LAPD. It is now clear that Mr. Bernback should have never been arrested and charged."

Tommie Lee is going to have to answer for allegedly beating on an Atlanta mall employee earlier this year -- 'cause she's been smacked with charges in court ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources in Fulton County, Atlanta tell us Tommie has been charged with battery with substantial harm by the Solicitor General's Office.

We're told Tommie has a hearing on the matter next week where two separate issues will be addressed ... her alleged mall beatdown, and her 2016 DUI case. She'd be wise to show up ... not one, but TWO warrants for her arrest were already issued in this whole saga.

As we've reported ... Tommie turned herself in to cops last month, where she was booked and posed for a mug shot. She ended up walking out of jail a day later, and told us one simple thing regarding the mall case ... queue Shaggy's 2000 hit song.

Ronnie from "Jersey Shore" allegedly got into a physical confrontation with his baby mama ... and it was caught on video.

Ronnie's baby mama, Jen Harley, took to Instagram Live on Monday and posted this video showing Ronnie in a heated argument with Jen in the upstairs part of someone's house. A second woman is seen downstairs trying to get Ron to chill out before all hell breaks loose.

The video shows Ron and Jen, who is holding the phone, getting into a scuffle ... with Ron telling her to get off of him. The video cuts out for a few seconds as a struggle ensues. The fight stems from a series of Instagram story posts by Ron over the weekend ... blasting Jen of being a "natural born HOE." Our friends at TooFab meticulously broke it all down.

Stop riding Kanye West for supporting Donald Trump ... that's the message NBA star Iman Shumpert has for all the haters coming after the rapper this week.

FYI, Shumpert has a Kanye connection -- his wife, Teyana Taylor, is signed to West's G.O.O.D. Music record label and has an album coming out this summer.

So, with the backlash against West in full swing ... we wanted to know where Shumpert stood.

"I'm a Kanye fan," Shumpert said.

"Long before meeting my wife and knowing the relationship to Ye that she has as far as being signed, I have always walked with him throughout the commotion that he makes."

Shumpert says he's cool with Kanye wearing the MAGA hat -- and says it doesn't mean Kanye agrees with EVERYTHING Trump has to say.

He also really liked Kanye's freestyle with Harvey Levin.

There's more ... Shumpert also talked to us about his reality show "Teyana and Iman" (airs Monday night on VH1) and told us why his family has an edge on the Kardashians!

Luann de Lesseps appeared heavily intoxicated while being put into the back of a police cruiser last year, and even threatened to kill a cop ... according to video showing her arrest.

Footage from inside the squad car Luann was thrown into following her Christmas Eve arrest in Palm Beach has been released ... and you see her tell an officer that she'd kill him if he continued touching her. It appears the cop was loosening her cuffs before buckling her in.

The action begins around the 2 minute mark -- Luann repeatedly says she did nothing wrong, and at one point the officer tells her he's going to hog-tie her if she doesn't stop resisting. Her friends are heard telling her to relax.

As we reported ... Luann was officially charged with a felony count of resisting an officer with violence during her alleged drunken rampage. She's also still facing 2 misdemeanors -- trespassing and disorderly intoxication -- after turning down a plea deal.

Kim Zolciak scored a deal for the same plastic Kylie Jenner uses, but at a much lower price -- and no, it ain't what you think.

The "plastic" we're referring to is an art piece from contemporary artist Beau Dunn -- a pink sign that literally reads PLASTIC. Sources tell us Kim bought one from Beau for $7,500 after seeing it on IG in January. She got it delivered in Feb., and installed it herself.

As you might recall ... Kylie bought a very similar neon sign from Beau just last year, only hers was slightly bigger (depending on how you look at it) and it ran her $10k. Kylie's sign is 48''x13'' ... and Kim's is a bit smaller at 32''x26''. For all intents and purposes ... same thing.
