Brandi Glanville is in serious pain after a DIY beauty experiment went horribly wrong -- burning her face with Nair while trying to fight off a facial parasite.

The former "RHOBH" star shared a graphic TikTok on Sunday showing red, blotchy burns covering her chin, cheeks, and nose. "I know I look attractive," she said, before adding, "Good news, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on peels and lasers anymore."

Glanville explained she applied Nair -- a chemical hair-removal cream -- to her face because exfoliating seems to irritate her facial parasite. "Nair is the fountain of youth. I figured it out," she joked before admitting she overdid it.

Denise Richards is stepping back into the Bravo spotlight -- and right in the middle of her messy split from estranged husband Aaron Phypers … TMZ has learned.

Witnesses tell TMZ … Denise filmed scenes for "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Saturday night at Madre in Los Angeles. She joined Sutton Stracke and Erika Jayne for dinner, with cameras capturing her dramatic entrance and intimate conversations about her ongoing divorce battle.

As we first reported … there won't be a second season of "Denise & Her Wild Things" -- but that was always the plan. Sources told us the series was pitched and treated as a limited run from the start.

"Love Island USA" alum Miguel Harichi is finally breaking his silence on the drama with Louis Russell after his GF Leah Kateb unfollowed him -- and yup, there's some serious trouble brewing.

In a lengthy IG post Saturday, Miguel called out folks he used to consider friends for talking smack about his relationship with Leah and letting social media drag her name through the mud, and he wants no part of it.

As for those unfollows? Miguel says it had nothing to do with Louis allegedly dating Huda Mustafa. Remember -- they sparked rumance buzz while attending the "Weapons" movie premiere together earlier this week. Instead, Louis says the whole situation rubbed Leah and her friends the wrong way.

Whatever Louis and Huda have going on now, Miguel says he’s not interested -- and respectfully wants his and Leah’s names out of that storyline.

TBH, you’d think these ladies were fresh outta their 20s -- all slaying their summer 'fits as they strutted into Malibu West Beach Club. One even snuck in a quick touchy-feely move with Mel on the way in that didn’t go unnoticed.

These sexy ladies are feeling feline fierce for Frisky Friday, but can you scratch off the catsuit and sniff out the celeb in question?

Flight turbulence might have you longing to land, but it can't actually bring down an airplane ... so says pilot and reality star Pete Cappio.

We had Cappio on "TMZ Live" Friday ... and, we had to ask him about the recent incident where 25 people were hospitalized after intense turbulence threw them around the airplane cabin.

Cappio says, while this video is jarring, people shouldn't assume the whole airplane would go down because of an event like this ... 'cause planes are made to withstand even the most powerful turbulence.

'Love Island USA' Season 7 star -- and most loved-to-be-hated islander -- Huda Mustafa made her red carpet debut this week, and she didn't arrive solo ... showing up hand in hand with Netflix reality star Louis Russell.

Huda has been seen in public a lot lately with Louis -- who starred on Netflix's "Too Hot to Handle" Season 5, and is on the newest season of 'Perfect Match' -- leading fans to believe the two are an item ... and leaving us to wonder if the romance is confirmed, or if it's just two friends adding fuel to the fire.

Mel Owens is trying to make up for his insensitive comments about age as filming for "The Golden Bachelor" Season 2 gets underway ... revealing he apologized to all the ladies on the first night of shooting.

The reality TV star spoke to Glamour for an interview published Friday about a comment he made on a podcast in June, when he said he preferred to date a woman between the ages of 45 and 60 ... and, he said he told producers to "try to stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs, you know, that kind of stuff.”

The interview sent fans into a frenzy, and they called for his firing from the show ... which tipped Owens off to the fact that he'd said something wrong -- 'cause he admits until a respected colleague called him on the comments, he didn't see the big deal.

Jax Taylor says it's bittersweet to end his time working at Jax's in Studio City ... 'cause he doesn't completely want to give it up -- but, he has to for his mental health.

We caught up with the reality television star while workers were literally taking his name off the establishment ... and, we asked him about how he feels to be giving the place up.

Jax says they had a great run ... but, he ultimately thinks he can't get to where he wants to go and hold on to the bar -- though he says he may want to host a few events there in the future when he does get his mind right, since his business partner Leo plans to keep the bar open ... under a new name.
