Madden, who appeared on Season 8 of the singing competition show, is facing six felony charges ... including oral copulation of a person under 18 and unlawful sexual intercourse.

"Selling Sunset" star Nicole Young is pushing back on serious claims levied by Chrishell Stause and Amanza Smith ... telling TMZ she's never had a substance abuse problem.
We got Nicole at Royal Smoothie Studio City in L.A. and our photog asked her straight up if she's ever had a drug problem, as Chrishell and Amanza claimed during this season's "Friendsgiving" episode.
Nicole tells us she's never had a problem with substances and says Chrishell and Amanza know that full well ... which she says makes their public claims all the more "heinous."
TMI, girl! "Selling Sunset" star Amanza Smith may have opened up a little too much on Harry Jowsey's 'Boyfriend Material' podcast ... she admitted to having sex with her kids' "uncles."
The revelation came when the topic turned to dating horror stories. She couldn't come up with any ... but what she did come up with was definitely horrifying.
She said, "There's so many uncles I've probably banged," completely freaking out Harry ... before she clarified, "Not a real uncle."
Kendall Jenner rang in the big 3-0 like only a KarJenner can -- and let’s be real, subtlety was never on the guest list because this party was big AF, even by their standards!

No word on the exact location, but the vibes were off the charts -- 818 Tequila flowing, a drool-worthy 818-themed cake, and massive fireworks lighting up the ocean.
We scored some prime real estate on our "TMZ After Dark" Tour ... the "Selling Sunset" crew hopped on board, and they brought the glitz, the gossip, and some monster drama to light up Hollywood!

TMZ has obtained an excerpt of Gerry's upcoming memoir, "Golden Years" ... and he writes that after announcing his divorce just 3 months in last year, the negative reaction got so brutal he hit rock bottom ... writing, "One night, while I was lying in bed and staring at the ceiling, it all became too much, and for the briefest moment, I thought about putting a gun to my head."
In the excerpt, Gerry explains he’s always had a "marathon mentality" -- pushing through pain knowing it would pass. But he admitted that at the time, the agony felt endless.
Mexican-American actress Vanessa Villela was 43 years old when she sold her luxurious Los Angeles homes and played mediator on Netflix's popular reality real-estate show, "Selling Sunset" back in 2021.

Chrishell Stause is trying to make the sun go down on the drama surrounding her lack of invite to the "Selling Sunset" premiere ... telling a photog it's really not a big deal to her.
Paps caught up with the reality star Saturday ... and they asked her about being excluded -- along with Chelsea Lazkani -- from an unofficial season 9 premiere party fellow castmate Bre Tiesi threw. Netflix didn't have an official release party for the season.
Stause says it's "all good" ... adding she couldn't go anyway because she was in New York City making an appearance on Andy Cohen's 'Watch What Happens Live.'

"Bachelor in Paradise" star Joe Amabile shared a photo of his bib and bag hours before the race ... ready to hurtle through the concrete jungle to the finish line -- though it appears it didn't totally go to plan.
