Bethenny Frankel is swearing off hotel towels for good ... she claims towels are breeding grounds for bacteria, even at swanky resorts, and she's blaming them for the bacterial infection she contracted in St. Barts.

The 'RHONY' alum hopped on TikTok Thursday -- and revealed how she believes she ended up with a large rash spread across her face after a luxury New Year's getaway to the Caribbean.

Bethenny says there's no magical towel fairy that cleans towels the second they get dirty at hotels, even at the expensive resorts in St. Barts ... claiming dirty towels sit around with dirt, grime, sweat, food and all sorts of things on them before going in the washer.

Tyler Nolan -- a former contestant on the show "Ink Master" -- uses his hands for more than the tattoo gun ... allegedly, he also used them to rough up his ex, TMZ has learned.

According to a police report, obtained by TMZ ... Tyler was arrested Tuesday on a warrant after he got into a violent altercation back in November with his then-girlfriend.

Palm Beach County Sheriff deputies received a call for a domestic dispute and responded to a home in Loxahatchee, Florida. When the deputies arrived, the gf approached them and turned over videos she said proved Nolan abused her.

The report says one video showed the girlfriend holding a towel, which Nolan pulled forward, causing her to be "yanked forward and downward." The recording allegedly captured Nolan coming into contact with her as he reached around to grab another item, and he also appeared to grab her arm.

Janice Dickinson is suing a British broadcaster over injuries she claims she sustained when she fell while filming a reality TV show ... and we now have the photos of the facial damage from the alleged fall.

Check out these photos TMZ obtained ... that purport to show the aftermath of a nasty spill in 2022 when she was filming "I'm a Celebrity... South Africa."

Janice's forehead, nose, lips and chin are busted, bruised, scratched and scabbing over ... she claims she suffered head and facial injuries after going to the toilet at night during the show's jungle camp, and tripping.

The alleged injuries are from 2022 and in September 2025 Janice filed a lawsuit in the United Kingdom against ITV Studios ... seeking six figures in damages. According to reports Janice claims in the lawsuit that she suffered permanent facial deformities and nerve damage when she tripped in the dark after being given sleeping medication by a medic.

The suit was filed by a law firm in London, Taylor Hampton Solicitors, which has previously repped Hugh Grant, Elizabeth Hurley and Sir Elton John.

"Teen Mom" Farrah Abraham wants to get into politics ... but she's having a premature political birth here ... because she's jumping into the race for mayor of Austin, Texas way too early.

Farrah joined us on "TMZ Live" Thursday and we asked her about her recent social media announcement that she was running for mayor in the Texas capital ... and we kinda burst her bubble with some quick fact-checking, and her reaction is priceless.

Thing is ... Farrah says she's running for mayor in 2026, but we called up City Hall during our live interview ... the election isn't until 2028 -- that's over 2 freaking years from now!!!

Caitlyn Jenner's signing off on her daughter's relationship with Timothée Chalamet ... calling him a good kid and phenomenal actor.

The reality star and former Olympian chatted with a photog at LAX ... and, though she didn't dive into deets on her daughter's romance with the A-list actor, she did say she's met Chalamet and calls him a "great kid."

CJ says she saw "Marty Supreme" -- adding Chalamet's a very talented actor -- but, more importantly, he's good to Kylie Jenner, which is all Caitlyn really cares about.

"Owning Manhattan" star Jordan March is providing more clarity on his argument last month with his friend Ryan Serhant ... saying they aren't engaged in any drama ... it's just business.

We caught up with the reality TV star in New York City Wednesday ... and, we had to ask him about the blow-up between him and Serhant on a Manhattan street corner in early December.

Remember -- we obtained video of Jordan and Ryan arguing -- and Serhant told us it was just a disagreement between pals. However, he added there were legal issues involved, so he couldn't comment further.

Porsha Williams says Donna Kelce is a 'Real Housewives' stan ... telling Andy Cohen that Taylor Swift's future mother-in-law fangirled over her while on "The Traitors."

The reality TV star chatted with Andy on Wednesday's episode of "Watch What Happens Live" ... and, she says she loves the Kelce matriarch -- especially since she's such a big fan of the franchise.

Porsha says she was flattered Donna knew so much about her ... though it ultimately didn't save her in the end.

Kendra Wilkinson is a long way from her days at the Playboy Mansion ... because now she's a realtor.

We got the former "Girls Next Door" star at the Supermodels Unlimited Magazine Cover Party and our photog asked her about her transition from Playboy and reality TV to real estate.

Kendra says she's still got a lot of baggage from her days in Hollywood and that is playing a role in her new life as a celeb realtor ... but she's got no other choice than to make deals to feed her family as a single mother.

Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval are turning over a new leaf, or so it seems ... because it appears they reached a settlement in a legal beef over the house they shared before their epic split.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the parties reached a conditional settlement of the lawsuit Ariana filed back in January 2024, when she was trying to force a sale of their shared home.

It's unclear what the terms of the settlement are ... the docs just say some unspecified terms must be satisfied under the settlement agreement before the case is officially dismissed.

NeNe Leakes is heading back to Bravo ... years after her exit, TMZ has learned.

Production sources tell TMZ ... "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" alum will appear on Bravo's newly announced working-title series, "The Real Housewives: Ultimate Road Trip," which Andy Cohen announced during BravoCon. While the series was announced, no cast members were named.

Our sources say NeNe -- who departed "RHOA" after Season 12 in 2020 -- will not be a full-time cast member, but will have a notable presence when the show makes its way to Atlanta. We're told she will appear only during the Atlanta leg of the trip.

JoJo Siwa's officially a bride -- in the A.I.-verse, at least -- because she posted an artificially- created pic of herself on her wedding day!

The pop star shared a photo on Snapchat Tuesday ... a selfie where she's staring dreamily into the camera while wearing a white wedding dress -- with a veil pulled back framing her golden hair.

The pic has "Call me a wife!!!" written along the bottom of it ... but hold on, Siwa fans -- because it's a pretty premature post.

No one’s doing it better than Brooks Nader ... the model jetted off to Cabo, soaked up the sun, and made it very clear she’s in her hot-girl-on-vacation era!

Check out the pics from Tuesday -- Brooks was hanging with her sister Sarah Jane in Mexico, but LBR, she wasn’t about to share the spotlight ... rocking a cropped white cherry-print shirt over a teeny red bikini, paired with tiny matching bottoms that left very little to the imagination.

Brooks knew exactly what she was doing -- absolutely sizzling as she struck candid poses while lounging poolside, cooling off in the ocean, and casually catching up on some light reading ... "The Art of Seduction," no less.

2026 is already popping off, and we’re calling it now -- "TMZ After Dark" is the hottest party in town, doubling the chaos this past weekend and going absolutely wild!

"Love Island" S7 stars Charlie Georgio and Austin Shepard ran Friday night, while "Love & Hip Hop"’s Nikki Mudarris held it down Saturday ... and both nights brought nonstop energy from start to finish.

The Love Islanders brought villa-level chaos Friday night ... kicking things off at The Burgundy Room before rolling into Saddle Ranch for surprise quesadillas and watermelon shots!

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Phaedra Parks -- who is also a lawyer -- put her legal analyst hat on for us ... weighing in on just what is going on in Nick Reiner's murder trial in Los Angeles.

Remember ... Nick's high-powered attorney, Alan Jackson, dropped out and is being replaced by public defender Kimberly Greene.

So far, Jackson's withdrawal hasn't been fully explained, but Phaedra offered a plausible explanation when we caught her at LAX Friday.

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner aren't just attending awards season ... they're dominating it.

The couple stole the show again with a serious makeout during a commercial break.

Kylie popped up Sunday night at the Golden Globes to support boyfriend, who took home the Golden Globe award for best actor in a musical or comedy for his performance in "Marty Supreme."

Kylie Jenner's full-bodied new fragrance is out ... and, she's using her bust to promote it -- pushing up her cleavage for the ad.

The model posed in the sleeveless red leather top which perfectly matched the fragrance bottle she held against her head.

The star's looking away from camera ... though we imagine if she could see fans looking at the pic, she might tell them her eyes were up about a foot or so!
