Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner scored a legal victory in their battle against Ray J ... because his countersuit over their sex tape settlement will now play out in private arbitration, not a public courtroom.

A judge ruled Friday that Ray J's countersuit against the famous mother and daughter -- claiming they've violated a settlement agreement by continuing to bring up Kim's sex tape with Ray J on "The Kardashians" -- belongs in private arbitration.

The judge agreed with Kim and Kris that the parties signed a contract to take disputes over that agreement ... and so that's where they'll handle this disagreement.

Teddi Mellencamp is getting real about body image during her Stage 4 cancer battle -- revealing she actually asked for weight-loss meds while in the thick of it.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum said on her "Two Ts In A Pod" podcast that after packing on weight from steroids, she asked her doctor for GLP-1s ... but got shut down.

Teddi kept it light, joking about the mixed messages from her doctors, saying, "You tell me to live my best life ... but where are my GLP-1s?"

Jokes aside, it's been a brutal few years for Teddi. She was first diagnosed with melanoma, a type of skin cancer, in 2022 ... and underwent surgery for Stage 2.

Someone get Kyle Cooke a tweed cap and a magnifying glass ... because he's here to tell you who he thinks didn't leak the "Summer House" reunion audio.

He took to Instagram Friday to shine some light on the situation ... as someone who was sitting right there for the tense taping.

According to Kyle, this couldn't have been one of the stars sitting on the couches ... because their phones would have to be stuffed behind pillows or between cushions in order to not be caught by cameras.

And he says that -- based off the seating chart -- there's "just no way" the audio from the leak could've been captured by a phone on set.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Kenya Moore is packing up her hair salon and moving out after issues with her landlord, TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained photos of the salon's furniture on the street outside the location.

Kenya tells TMZ ... "I have spent the last several weeks moving out of my salon as a result of my ongoing legal battle with the landlord who has failed to reimburse me nearly $80K of improvement funds I am rightfully owed. My only recourse was to withhold rent and file a countersuit. I already have my outfit laid out for court chile!"

She goes on to thank all of her clients, and promises the beginning of a new era ... stay tuned!

Social media's speculating that West Wilson was axed for leaking that "Summer House" reunion audio ... but TMZ has debunked the rumor.

Fans may love the inside look at yesterday's taping ... TMZ has learned Bravo's pissed and investigating the leak.

The Reality Report posted the audio on Instagram Friday … which seems to show several cast members ripping into Amanda for sneaking around with Ciara’s ex, West Wilson.

In one slide, several cast members pile onto Amanda for not apologizing to Ciara in her joint statement with West … and accusing them of only coming clean because there was a video out there ... although it’s unclear what the alleged video actually showed.

Drew Sidora claims she paid her estranged husband, Ralph Pittman, half of her 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' checks during their marriage ... TMZ has learned.

As TMZ first reported, the judge presiding over the case ordered Drew to vacate the home by next month. Drew claims she will be homeless and does not have the funds to find another home at this time. She is begging the court to reconsider.

As part of her plea, Drew included texts that she believes help make her case. One alleged text, dated April 13, 2026, Drew wrote to her ex, "I most definitely cannot afford 9K of household expenses at this time."

Michael Jackson was shooting a potential reality TV show that was scrapped after his Neverland ranch was raided in 2003, and TMZ has the footage ... which includes him talking about a female fan's boobs. 

The late pop star's friend and producer Marc Schaffel tells TMZ he shot a ton of video of Michael from 2000 to 2003, including lots of his day-to-day life.

Another star of "Storage Wars" has broken their silence about the sudden death of Darrell Sheets ... and this one is quite notable.

Dave Hester posted a video tribute on Thrusday ... saying he was heartbroken to learn Darrell apparently took his own life ... and that he hopes the man is "in a better place."

Not long after we broke the news of Darrell's death ... Dave told TMZ ... he and Darrell played up their fan-favorite heated rivalry for the cameras -- but deep down, they liked one another.

Brandi Glanville is not on Scheana Shay's side -- shocker -- especially when it comes to Lisa Vanderpump.

She was reminiscing about her relationship with LVP to cohost James Maas on the latest episode of the "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered" ... when she recalled that Scheana "wrote horrible things" about Lisa in her memoir.

Brandi jumped to Lisa's defense -- the book came out last July, but better late than never -- and spilled some tea about Scheana in the process.

It's been a wild couple of weeks for Taylor Frankie Paul ... and she's taking a step back for herself by ditching social media.

Here's the deal ... TFP's Instagram and TikTok were deleted on Wednesday ... and fans were left asking, WTF is going on, girl?!

A source close to Taylor tells TMZ ... everything is fine -- she's just taking a break from the apps amid the wild news cycle she's been starring in.

A&E will pay tribute to Darrell Sheets during this weekend's new episode of "Storage Wars" ... TMZ has learned.

A network source tells TMZ ... the show is currently in the middle of Season 17, with a new episode set to air Saturday, April 25. While Darrell does not appear in the current season, the network plans to honor him with an in-memoriam card during the broadcast.

Leading up to the episode, A&E will also air a marathon of "Storage Wars" from 1 PM to 9 PM, of classic episodes featuring Darrell.

The upcoming season of "Deadliest Catch" will address the death of rookie deckhand Todd Meadows ... but audiences won't see footage from the tragic incident at sea.

Discovery says the series premiere will feature a tribute to Todd -- who died in February while working on the Aleutian Lady -- plus other segments highlighting how his death impacted the crew and the broader fishing community.

The network says Todd will show up in later episodes too.

The "Summer House" reunion is currently filming in NYC, and the seating chart is already telling a story.

Bravo spilled on where everyone's sitting for the Season 10 reunion with head honcho Andy Cohen in the middle, flanked by Ciara Miller and Amanda Batula ... putting the Amanda/West Wilson front and center.

And yeah, the sides are pretty clear. Ciara's wing includes Amanda's ex, Kyle Cooke ... plus Lindsay Hubbard and more ... while Amanda's posted up with West (bold move), alongside Carl Radke and her crew.

As we reported ... Amanda and West confirmed last month their longtime friendship turned romantic, but the timing raised eyebrows given their recent ties within the group.
