Jenelle Evans can pop the champagne -- she’s finally divorced from David Eason after filing for separation over a year ago.

Sources tell TMZ ... Jenelle’s attorney showed up in court today, and while the signed order’s still pending, the judge granted the divorce -- something the "Teen Mom" star tells us herself marks the end of a tiresome slog.

Jenelle tells TMZ ... "After a really long and draining process, my divorce from David is official. This chapter has been heavy, but I’m walking away from it with clarity, strength and so much love for my kids. My focus is on them and our future and I’m just thankful to finally have peace and a fresh start."

Taylor Williams and Clarke Carraway were voted off "Love Island USA" this week when America decided who their favorite couple is so far -- their pairing was dead last, so they got a one-way ticket home ... but they tell us their relationship wasn't given a fair chance!!!

If there's anyone they'd sacrifice for a spot back on the island, they'd throw Huda Mustafa and her connection with Chris Seeley overboard without hesitation -- saying their relationship is way more genuine than people know, and Huda's stubbornness ruined what she had going with Chris ... nothing new for our problematic queen.

Huda has been blasted with intense heat this season, online and from other islanders. Taylor and Clarke think there's no chance of her rekindling the connection with Chris, because she's stubbornly hard-headed.

A casting director is calling out the producers of "Love Island USA" for not doing their due diligence when casting not one, but two contestants who've been exposed for their past racist comments ... the casting pro says it's shocking the show hasn't learned from reality TV history.

It's no secret "Love Island USA" dropped the ball on background checks this season -- Cierra Ortega and Yulissa Escobar each got the boot for their previous racist commentary -- and fans are furious these two women were platformed without the show doing proper research.

But, the talent recruiters themselves may not be the department that deserves the blame in this case ... 'cause our source defends the casting community -- saying this sort of background check should've been vetted by production -- and doesn't understand how something like this gets missed.

Former "Love Island USA" cast member Yulissa Escobar says her N-word scandal went from folks holding her accountable to people sending her death threats and vile scorn ... and she's sharing some of the hateful messages she says she's been getting.

Yulissa just posted a bunch of direct messages she says she's received since being booted from the hit reality show ... and there are threats of violence, comments on her appearance and folks telling her to kill herself.

She says the hateful messages have been pouring in daily since she was kicked out of the 'Love Island' villa after fans found out she had casually dropped the N-word on podcasts in the past.

Connor Tomlinson had an out-of-this-world experience with Captain James T. Kirk ... or at least an A.I. William Shatner -- who had a ton of nice stuff to say about the star.

The "Love on the Spectrum" star stopped by Howie Mandel's studio in Los Angeles to get up close and personal with Proto Hologram earlier this week ... and, he was clearly awestruck by meeting Will -- even just this faux version of him.

The group peppered Holo Will with questions about 'LotS' ... including what he loves about Connor and what his favorite moment from the show is.

Eric Rosenbrook -- a reality star formerly on "90 Day Fiancé" -- was arrested after he allegedly got drunk and slapped his wife on the Fourth of July.

The 47-year-old was arrested in Adams, Wisconsin ... and, according to the criminal complaint, the victim claims everything went down when Rosenbrook -- already a few drinks in -- decided to go pick up some food from the local Kwik Mart.

According to the alleged victim -- who police say identified herself as his wife -- she became worried when Eric didn't return promptly ... and spotted him passed out in his car outside the apartment.

Folks can't get enough of "Love Island USA" ... because music from the summer's hottest show is doing big numbers on Spotify ... and fans are creating playlists for their favorite contestants.

Our sources over at Spotify tell us streams of the 'Love Island' theme song -- "Make Me Feel - EDX Dubai Skyline Remix" by Janelle Monae and EDX -- have spiked nearly 2,000% in the U.S. since June 3, when the latest season debuted.

We're told fans are also flocking to Spotify to create their own "Love Island" playlists ... with the music streaming platform seeing a 6,300% increase in the 'LI' lists.

"Love Island" alum Sharon Gaffka is not buying what Cierra Ortega is selling in her apology video for using an Asian slur ... Sharon says Cierra knew full well what the hateful word implied.

Sharon -- who was on "Love Island" back in 2021 -- joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and we asked for her reaction to Cierra's apology video for some past use of a racial slur online.

The thing that bothered Sharon the most was Cierra saying she didn't know the "word held as much pain, as much harm, and came with the history that it did" -- Cierra's from Arizona, and Sharon says anyone with access to the internet in America should know it's a hateful slur.

Scheana Shay just dropped a bomb -- she says hubby Brock Davies cheated while she was pregnant with their baby, Summer Moon.

In her upcoming memoir, "My Good Side," the "Vanderpump Rules" star reveals she was frozen in shock when Brock confessed he cheated with a woman from his gym back in 2021 -- while they were living in San Diego during the pandemic and Scheana was pregnant.

Scheana says she spent months battling anxiety, convincing herself Brock wasn’t like Tom Sandoval -- who'd hit headlines for cheating on Ariana Madix at the time -- but turns out, he was exactly that guy.

Kylie Jenner had an announcement to make about her fashion brand ... and she knew exactly how to get attention for it -- in smokin' hot bikini pics.

The fashion mogul posted a series of sizzling snaps and vid to her IG Thursday ... announcing her fashion brand Khy is teaming up with Frankies Bikinis for a sexy swimwear line to launch July 16.

Viewers could be forgiven for missing the caption with all that bronzed skin on display -- if so, we've got you covered.

She wrote, "ahhhh I’ve been dreaming of creating the perfect vintage bombshell-inspired swimwear, and teaming up with @francescaaiello to bring it to life has been so special. ♥️." BTW, Francesca's the bikini label’s founder and creative director.

"Love Island USA" contestant Cierra Ortega is owning up to the racial slur that got her booted from the show -- but while she's apologizing, her grandma's clapping back, slamming the backlash coming her way.

Magdalena Carrillo tells TMZ in no uncertain terms -- her granddaughter is not a racist, and neither is anyone in their family ... pointing out they're immigrants themselves, so the outlandish accusation just doesn’t track.

Magdalena tells us the whole thing's gotten out of hand -- she's honestly shocked and heartbroken to see all the hate her granddaughter's recently endured.

Kim Zolciak's baring it all -- the reality star joined "Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind" to spill every nip, tuck, and tweak in her beauty bible.

Buckle up, 'cause Kim did not hold back -- confessing she’s had her boobs done (more than once), a tummy tuck, nonstop Botox, neck surgery after a herniated disc, and got Ultherapy to keep that jawline snatched without a scalpel.

Interestingly, the 47-year-old left out a few juicy procedures she's already gone public with --like the laser vaginal rejuvenation she proudly revealed in '23, and the filler she got in her ears to help hold up her giant diamond earrings ... yes really.

Cierra Ortega is owning the racial slur that got her booted from "Love Island USA" -- and says she agrees with production's decision to cut her from the show.

In a lengthy video and written statement she shared on Instagram Wednesday evening, Cierra says she's been back home for 48 hours and is ready to address herself "very naively using an incredibly offensive and derogatory term."

First and foremost, she apologizes to the Asian community and everyone she offended, adding ..."I had no idea that the word held as much pain, as much harm, and came with the history that it did or I never would have used it."

Richard Taite -- a celebrity addiction and recovery specialist -- says it's a good thing  Whitney Purvis is behind bars, because she's accused of doing some really bad sh*t ... allegedly dealing drugs that killed a man.

As TMZ first reported ... Purvis -- who starred in the reality show "16 and Pregnant" -- was arrested Monday for involuntary manslaughter and drug offenses in connection with the fentanyl death of John Mark Harris in Floyd County, Georgia.

She was slapped with the manslaughter charge for intentionally distributing the drug Tranq -- which is a combo of fentanyl -- an opioid -- and xylazine -- a horse tranquilizer. Making matters worse for Purvis, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration is now investigating.

Kim Kardashian had one heck of an audience for her Balenciaga Fall 2025 couture strut in Paris Tuesday -- and let’s just say, the front row was straight-up A-list royalty.

Check out these pics -- Katy Perry and Patrick Schwarzenegger were out in style at Haute Couture Fashion Week ... with Cardi B living her best life, serving fierce looks and striking poses like it was her own personal runway.

Everyone stayed on brand with Balenciaga’s edgy all-black vibe -- but added their own twists. Nicole Kidman slayed in a sharp chic suit, while Salma Hayek turned heads in a curve-hugging velvet number.

Denise Richards' reality return was always meant to be a short-lived ride ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... "Denise Richards and Her Wild Things" won’t be getting a second season -- but that was the plan all along.

We’re told the network treated the project as a limited-run series and never intended to extend it beyond its debut season.

So, despite the recent news and headlines around Denise's split from husband Aaron Phypers, Bravo isn't scrambling to fire up production cameras for more "Wild Things" drama.
