Todd and Julie Chrisley are still locked up ... but, reality television producers are working around that -- 'cause they're going to have a small part in their family's upcoming show.

The Chrisley family's new reality show -- a still untitled project -- was announced by Lifetime yesterday, with a release scheduled for later this year. The show will follow the family as they struggle to navigate life while Todd and Julie remain locked up for many years to come.

However, don't think this means Todd and Julie won't make an appearance on the show ... 'cause production sources tell us phone calls they make from prison will air on the series.

Joe Exotic and his husband Jorge Marquez Flores are speaking out for the first time following the latter's deportation from America Saturday ... and they both confirm their final goodbye was "pretty emotional."

Jorge -- who spoke to TMZ from a friend's house in Mexico -- gave a glimpse into their last weeks together, recalling their frequent trips to the library and gym ... even noting they bonded as they worked on their English and Spanish skills together.

Looks like there's no time to waste for 'Love Island' couple Millie Court and Liam Reardon -- these two lovebirds are pumpin' iron in preparation for swimsuit season!

Jon Taffer is once again suing a man allegedly running around Florida bars pretending to be him and harassing people, according to a new lawsuit filed by the "Bar Rescue" star and his lawyer, Bradford Cohen.

Here's what we know ... in court docs obtained by TMZ, Jon claims Vic Caroleo has been impersonating him since 2017 -- continuing to do so even after filing a lawsuit against him in 2024.

JT says VC is not just trying to pass himself off as him as a form of flattery -- he alleges he's committing "sexually inappropriate and abusive acts against women" while using his name.

Kim Kardashian can officially fling her graduation cap into the air and her law books into the trash ... 'cause she just completed her law program.

One of them calls it "one of the most inspiring legal journeys we've ever seen" ... swearing Kim pulled herself up by her high heel straps -- no ivory tower shortcuts for her.

Kourtney Kardashian says school might be out forever for her kids ... 'cause she says she's out on traditional schooling -- truly questioning if there's really even point to it all.

The reality television star sat down with her sister, Khloé Kardashian, on her podcast "Khloé in Wonder Land" ... and, she says she believes challenging conformity is the only way to live authentically.

TMZ has obtained eye-popping text messages between Ryan Anderson and Gypsy Rose Blanchard that show Ryan allegedly going off on Gypsy ... and using a homophobic slur to insult the father of her baby, Ken Urker.

Check out the screenshot -- Ryan appears to accuse the ex-convict of doxing his number ... and he receives a response from Ken rather than Gypsy, which sets him off.

He allegedly uses vivid vocabulary to attack Ken, calling him a "f****t a** b***h" and more. In response, Ken simply writes ... "Block."

The alleged sex worker known as Ash Armand, who was allegedly involved in Diddy's "freak-offs," looks a bit worse for wear in his latest prison mug shot after he was convicted of manslaughter in the murder of his girlfriend years ago.

Kim Kardashian just got back from a visit to Paris, France, where she testified in a criminal trial, went out to eat at some nice restaurants, attended a bachelorette party ... and, got her nipples pierced?

Kim was spotted in Beverly Hills Sunday night in a relatively understated outfit of black leather pants and a tight black T-shirt -- and a closer look reveals what appears to be, underneath, nipple piercings.

Kim's getting out of a silver SUV, and her midriff-baring top is straining over a bra, which isn't doing much to hide what looks like an industrial-barbell piercing. It's unclear whether this is a new take on the Skims Nipple Push-Up Bra, or if KK decided to add on some body adornments while visiting the City of Light.
