Tom Sandoval couldn't contain his anger during the "Vanderpump Rules" reunion, even offstage ... losing his cool when producers blocked him from chatting with Raquel Leviss off camera.

During Part 2 of the 'VPR' reunion, Tom goes off on producer Patrick McDonald, demanding he gets a break to have a private convo with Raquel. He says, "I want to talk to her, like, I don't want a camera in my f**king goddamn face. You're not understanding."

The producer tells him he's able to take a lunch, alone, but says the cameras have to be rolling if any castmates are gathered or talking to each other ... which seems to only upset Tom even more, as he stormed around and yelled, "I'm done filming. I need a break from filming."

TS wasn't taking no for an answer -- he continuously pushed for alone time and threatened to take off his mic.

He angrily added, "I don’t feel relaxed, she doesn’t either. We have to watch what we f**king say. Like, I don't want that!"

It's interesting ... minutes prior to the meltdown, Tom had a one-on-one, on-camera conversation with Raquel, who watched Part 1 and 2 of the reunion from her trailer ... chatting about their cheating scandal and how things played out so far with his ex Ariana and the entire cast.

So ya gotta wonder, what TS might want to say to Raquel that he couldn't say with cameras rolling or other folks around.

The final part of the reunion airs next week, and it's bound to be just as explosive -- Raquel finally gets to address the cast directly for the first time ... and vice versa.

Kim Kardashian isn't oblivious to the masses of people who believe she and her family owe viewers more when it comes to sharing the intimate details of their everyday life ... having a serious convo about the future of the show.

KK got candid with her sister Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick on Thursday's episode of "The Kardashians" and took the time to address some of the criticism around the Hulu hit.

While says she enjoys reading the feedback, she went on to say at times it can be very brutal. She says "Khloe and I, we give real content. We're sharing every last detail of our lives." She continues, "I talk about me wanting to lose weight and I am brutalized. I am the face of all this criticism."

Kim also gives specific examples ... saying, "There was an article about season 2 that said Khloé didn’t give enough with her Tristan [Thompson] situation."

Kim did fess up to a couple things being more off limits -- like her issues with her ex-husband Kanye West and her most recent ex, Pete Davidson -- saying at times, she just simply didn't want to be filmed.

At the end of their heart-to-heart, the two sisters acknowledged deep down they do love the show and it's been the centerpiece of the entire family empire. Kim admits, "I will always want to film and give our all."

The Kardashian-Jenner clan first appeared on E! for their "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" series in 2007, which ran up until 2021. The 3rd season of "Kardashians" is now running on Hulu.

The "Vanderpump Rules" reunion has made something very clear -- it's not just Tom, Raquel and Ariana who have been deeply impacted by Scandoval -- as Scheana Shay made very clear.

Part 2 of the reunion special ran Wednesday night, where the cast continued to discuss the affair and the explosion it's caused in all of their lives. At one point, Scheana Shay -- who was extremely close with both Sandoval and Raquel -- completely loses it.

Shay says she feels abandoned by two people who she truly trusted, and finds herself experiencing total breakdowns at different points in the day.

To make matters worse, Shay says her emotions have impacted her ability to be a good mom -- and even her daughter is experiencing severe emotional trauma because of the events with Tom and Raquel.

Tom apologizes to Scheana, but the words seem to ring hollow. As for Raquel, she was unable to listen to Scheana's issues up close and personal, as she had a temporary restraining order against her at the time of filming after Scheana allegedly attacked her after learning of the cheating.

As we reported, the restraining order was eventually dismissed -- but clearly, there was some serious damage already done -- restraining order or not.

"Selling Sunset" star Nicole Young is extending an olive branch to her costar Chrishell Stause ... saying she's ready to move past all of the drama, once and for all.

We caught up with the 'SS' newbie at Sunset Plaza, and she opened up about her ongoing feud with Chrishell -- one that made her the target of some very brutal death threats.

Nicole tells us, things went way too far on the show between them. She says, while the drug accusations Chrishell made about her are very damaging, she won't be taking any legal action against her ... adding she's also able to take responsibility for her actions as well.

Moreover, she tells us it's about time they smooth things out, for the sake of everyone and to get back to focusing on what's really important -- i.e. their business.

As we reported, Nicole has been getting death threats and vile remarks in the wake of their heated argument on the show. Chrishell spoke up to defend Nicole on IG, and later told us nothing warrants that kind of bullying.

"Selling Sunset" star Jason Oppenheim is a single man again ... he and his model girlfriend Marie-Lou Nurk have called it quits.

Jason announced the split Wednesday on social media, saying their long-distance relationship was too much to overcome. Marie-Lou splits her time between Los Angeles and Paris, while Jason is anchored in Hollywood.

The now-former couple started dating 10 months ago, first getting together in July during a vacation to Mykonos, Greece. Jason went public with the 25-year-old model back in August, hitting up a premiere for a Netflix show together.

After jet setting around the globe, Jason and Marie-Lou moved into a new luxury condo in L.A. together ... but a few days ago she said she was moving back to France for her modeling career.

Jason says ... "While we still love and care about each other very much the distance between us has proven to be too great a challenge to overcome."

He adds ... "We remain close friends and continue to talk often and support each other and we want the very best for one another. We thank everyone for their support throughout our relationship."

Joseline Hernandez is claiming self-defense in her scuffle with Amber Rose on the upcoming celebrity edition of BET's "College Hill" ... but also insists she won the fight.

The veteran reality star was a recent guest on "Drink Champs" ... and lamented being kicked off the series for "dog walking" Amber, who Joseline claims started the fight.

BET has yet to air the episode, but Joseline says she clocked Amber so hard into a piece of glass, her head left an imprint in it.

Joseline claims Amber was jeering her in the back of the classroom as she was delivering her speech in a college literature class. She says Amber should've shut up and taken some notes if she doesn't want to be known as a "slut" the rest of her life. 😬

According to Joseline, this beef isn't fully cooked either ... she plans on applying pressure to Amber every time she sees her in person going forward.

Kim Zolciak has taken a good parenting course in the midst of her nasty divorce -- kind of ironic given the trash-talking between her and Kroy Biermann that has to be adversely affecting their 4 minor children.

Kim completed a mandatory course in Georgia -- the "Navigating Family Change Seminar" -- which she took and completed last Thursday. She filed a certificate of completion with the court, obtained by TMZ. There's no record Kroy has completed the course, at least not yet.

The object of the course is to soften the blow of divorce for the sake of the children. Thing is ... this divorce has been like nuclear war, with Kim accusing Kroy of being a pothead, demanding he drug test and submit to a 5-panel hair follicle drug screening, and demanding he not cut or remove any hair until the screening is complete.

Kim is asking for primary physical custody, and that's a signal the divorce is nasty. Typically, when the parties get along they ask for joint custody. Kroy has gone in even harder, asking for sole custody of their kids.

The estranged couple has had plenty of financial struggles, including home foreclosure and delinquent tax bills. Kroy has claimed Kim is essentially a gambling addict who is so drawn to betting she doesn't properly take care of their kids.

Kroy has asked the court to order Kim to submit to a psych exam, suggesting her alleged gambling addiction is symptomatic of a mental health problem, such as depression, narcissistic personality disorder or ADHD.

Chrishell Stause wants fans of her show to get the message, once and for all, to stand down on making death threats against her to costar Nicole Young -- 'cause, like, it's just reality TV ... and not that serious.

The "Selling Sunset" realtor talked to us Tuesday in L.A., and we asked why she thought it was important to publicly speak up on Nicole's behalf and tell haters to cool it -- and she touched on the absurdity of modern-day fandom.

Watch ... CS says people in this day and age just take things too far, especially when it comes to keyboard catharsis -- which clearly spilled over into dangerous territory last week.

Like we reported, Nicole was getting death threats and other vile remarks in the wake of her onscreen feud with Chrishell ... and it was affecting her well-being. Chrishell spoke up on her own social platform and told everyone to simmer down.

While she goes to bat for Nicole on camera with us -- about the threats, at least -- it sounds like there's still no love lost between them. Chrishell tells us it's up to Nicole to repair their relationship.

Angela White, formerly Blac Chyna, is all about simplicity these days ... and her latest look shows less can definitely be more.

Angela popped out Tuesday at the "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" premiere in Westwood, near the UCLA campus ... and she rocked a casual, college look.

AW wore a red varsity jacket, with a crop top and jeans as she made her entrance. She traded her go-to high heels for Nike Air Jordan 11 sneakers. As for accessories ... strictly minimal.

The former stripper/reality TV and OnlyFans star has recently transformed herself, and the reviews are universal -- super positive.

She was on "TMZ Live" recently and said she made the change for her kids, adding her focus is now motherhood, music and new business ventures.

AW also made some big changes to her appearance ... 86'ing face fillers, getting a breast reduction and even removing some tattoos. She also ditched her incredibly profitable OnlyFans account and started going by her government name.

Clearly, Angela seems to be more than happy with the switch up ... good on her!

Joe Giudice is back in the 'Real Housewives' universe after his cameo in the New Jersey reunion ... where he was looking for a surgical consultation, of all things!

The 'RHONJ' alum called his ex-wife Teresa on the phone just as the first of the 3-part reunion kicked off with host Andy Cohen. Teresa and the other housewives -- Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Dolores Catania, Jennifer Aydin, Rachel Fuda and Danielle Cabral -- seemed surprised.

As Teresa answered the phone, she said, "Look who's calling me: Joe Giudice," who has been living in the Bahamas since 2021 after leaving Italy following his deportation from the States.

Joe had an important question for Jennifer's plastic surgeon husband, Bill, who was not present either, so he addressed it to Teresa. Joe said, "Tre, ask Jennifer's husband, Bill, if he does bags under your eyes," while everyone chuckled.

Andy then snatched the phone from Teresa and asked, "Giudice, are you looking to get your eyes done?"

Hell no!! Joe said he was just researching the procedure for his uncle and pointed out, "[Mine] aren't baggy yet."

Besides all that ... we learned Joe has a few girlfriends in the Bahamas, and he never watched 'RHONJ' -- not even while he was in prison.

After everyone said their goodbyes, Andy hung up and remarked, "Wow, unexpected." Not so sure about that, but anyway ... it was a moment.

As we reported, Joe was convicted in 2014 of conspiracy to commit wire and bank fraud and served 41 months in federal prison. A judge ordered him to be deported to his native Italy, and he was eventually booted from the U.S. after losing several appeals.

If Aaron Rodgers wants to trade footballs for fist pumps this summer, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is all for it -- telling TMZ Sports he absolutely wants to link up with the NFL star after the quarterback's "Jersey Shore" shoutout last week.

"I think it is a must," Mike said of a meetup with the new Jets signal-caller.

If you missed it, Rodgers revealed he has a big-time love for The Situation, Pauly D, Snooki and the rest of the JC cast last week ... when he explained to reporters after a workout that the show was one of his all-time favorites.

When Sorrentino got word of the high praise from Rodgers -- he said he and his 'Shore' mates went crazy over it.

"Everyone just had a big smile on their face," Mike said. "The group chat was lit."

Sorrentino told us he's a huge fan of Rodgers after watching him play on NFL Sundays over the years -- and now that he knows the feeling's mutual, he'd love to catch up in Jersey ASAP.

Tom Sandoval couldn't escape the 'Scandoval' drama even while performing onstage ... giving one fan the boot from his Pittsburgh show, after she held up a "#TeamAriana" sign.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star was rocking out at Jergel's Rhythm Grille in Pittsburgh over Memorial Day weekend when a woman in the crowd flashed the paper sign to him, making it clear she was backing his ex-gf Ariana Madix.

The woman made sure Tom and everyone else saw it ... holding it high and doing a 360 with the sign in hand. Eventually, security came over and snatched the sign before she was escorted out by another.

Of course, Tom's been having a tough time since the news got out he cheated on Ariana with their costar Raquel Leviss ... putting a hard end to their 10-year relationship. And, although he's still been selling out shows for "Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras", it appears not everyone with a ticket is team Sandoval.

You'll recall, TS pissed off Pittsburgh officials, when he got caught complaining about Pennsylvania before he even got off the plane for the show.

TMZ broke the story ... Tom was on a plane over the weekend heading for Pittsburgh, when a fellow passenger overheard him on the phone with Raquel, telling her he was headed for "f***ing Pittsburgh."

Tom denied saying it and later told us, "The show we played in Pittsburgh was sold out and the people were incredible."

Tom Sandoval may want to choose his words more wisely, because some of the folks who run the City of Pittsburgh are not happy he trashed their fair city ... something Tom denies.

TMZ broke the story ... Tom was on a plane over Memorial Day Weekend heading for Pittsburgh, when a fellow passenger overheard him on the phone with Raquel Leviss, telling her he was headed for "f***ing Pittsburgh." There is no version of that which is complimentary.

Pittsburgh City Councilman Anthony Coghill tells TMZ, "He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about," adding, "Has he ever set foot in Pittsburgh?"

Coghill took a shot at Tom, saying, "I never heard of the guy, never heard of his show."

Another Councilman -- Bobby Wilson -- has indeed heard of the show, and says "It's unfortunate somebody who is having relationship problems is trying to take a swing at Pittsburgh," adding, "Why bring us down. Work on yourself."

Tom flew there because his band had a gig in the area, and speaking of the area, Councilman Coghill sings the virtues of his city, bragging about the beautiful cultural district, wonderful parks, a great downtown area, the best universities and hospitals, and on and on.

Despite Tom's slight, Coghill says Tom is still welcome there ... "We are welcoming, polite and help strangers with directions to get them where they're going."

BTW ... the fact that Tom was yakking on the phone with Raquel suggests the rumors they have broken up are bogus.

Tom tells TMZ he did not say "f***ing Pittsburgh," adding, "The show we played in Pittsburgh was sold out and the people were incredible."

Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson are essentially operating as one parental unit, but that doesn't mean they're romantic again ... despite growing speculation online.

Sources close to the two tell us they're still operating as they have been for months -- as co-parents -- but Tristan lives near Khloe's place, so they're spending a lot of time together. Remember, they now have two young kiddos, and we're told it's important to Khloe that the kids get to spend as much time with Tristan as possible.

Another clue that things are good between Khloe and Tristan -- she was spotted driving around in one of his vehicles last Tuesday -- so they're sharing keys too. Our sources say the two are in a great spot as friends.

What's more, we're told Khloe let Tristan and his younger brother stay with her in the immediate time following the funeral for Tristan's mom. At the time, Tristan was getting work done on the roof of his home after some water damage ... so Khloe opened up her doors.

TMZ broke the story ... it was back in January when Khloe boarded a private jet to be with TT in Toronto after his mom's sudden death. At the time, our sources told us Khloe wanted to be there as a source of support and comfort for Tristan -- Kim and Kris eventually came too.

Clearly, the family bond hasn't broken between anyone ... as we continue to see the Kardashian family support Tristan, even sitting courtside to cheer him on with The Lakers.

Beyoncé's packing out arenas on her highly-anticipated Renaissance Tour ... and some of those tickets went to some very famous folks, including Kris Jenner and Ronnie Wood!

Ronnie, his wife Sally, and their twin girls -- Gracie Jane and Alice Rose -- were in attendance at Beyoncé's London show over the weekend. And, they seemed to have the time of their lives as they watched her perform from their private box.

And, the Rolling Stones guitarist wasn't the only famous fan in the building ... Ronnie made sure to flick it up with Kris Jenner backstage before the night ended. Other celebs in attendance included ... Jay-Z (of course), Dua Lipa, Lori Harvey, and her boyfriend Damson Idris.

As you know, Bey kicked off her Renaissance Tour in Stockholm, Sweden, earlier this month ... taking the stage for the first time, alone, in seven years.

The show is proving to be well worth the hype ... with a ton of wardrobe changes, visuals, and surprises. As we reported, Beyoncé and Jay-Z's oldest daughter Blue Ivy was on stage in Paris, showing off her dance moves alongside her mama.

TV Personality Dana Wilkey was in her mid-30s when she became popular as one of the more bougie women of the Beverly Hills squad -- most known for showing off her $25,000 sunglasses -- on Bravo's season 2 of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" back in 2011.

Although she was not a primary cast member, her flashiness and over-the-top personality earned her some star-power points and contributed to the show's drama, standing alongside key players including Kyle Richards, Lisa Vanderpump and Camille Grammer.

... And, can't forget about her $1 million lollipop holder!
