Spencer Pratt is trading campaign mode for island mode ... supporting wife Heidi Montag as she filmed her steamy new music video on location in Hawaii.

Heidi was serving serious beach-bombshell vibes while filming "Summer Love" ... posing in the surf and soaking up the tropical scenery like a total pro ... and Spencer wasn't far away.

The shoot likely made for a welcome distraction after Spencer's recent loss in the race to unseat L.A. Mayor Karen Bass.

West Wilson's run on "Summer House" has come to an end ... 'cause TMZ has learned he won't be returning for Season 11.

Sources connected to the series tell TMZ ... West was not picked up for the next season of the Bravo show and will not return when cameras start rolling over the July 4 weekend. That said, our sources say the door isn't completely closed and it's possible he could pop in for a cameo at some point.

His departure on the show comes after a drama filled run on the show, including a romance that dominated headlines this year.

Tyra Banks is getting a taste of her own medicine, and it's laughable she doesn't like it ... at least that's what Adrianne Curry is implying.

Here's the deal ... Tyra's suing Netflix for defamation, saying the streaming service used only a fraction of her 3-hour interview "to support a false and defamatory narrative" in its docuseries, "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model."

But the original 'ANTM' winner went on social media Sunday to point out that's exactly what Tyra did to all of the contestants on her show, saying ... "I read that Tyra Banks is suing Netflix because she didn't like being edited."

Former NBA Star Dwight Howard says his wife is a master of lies and manipulation ... and alleges she tricked him into marriage with false claims about her fertility ... at least according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

Dwight filed court docs requesting a protective order against Amber -- also known by her stage name Amy Luciani -- claiming they have had a rocky relationship for years … which led to him filing for divorce.

He said Amber started a “crusade of lies and defamation” against him … costing him job opportunities. He said she is also spreading lies about him to his family, friends, and the mothers of his children.

Josh Duggar is doing just "fine" despite his recent transfer to a federal prison specializing in medical and mental health services ... at least according to his attorney.

Josh's lawyer, Beau Brindley, tells TMZ … Josh was moved as part of a "routine" transfer from FCI Seagoville in Seagoville, Texas, to the Federal Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas.

Brindley noted the May 29 transfer had nothing to do with Josh's health.

Savannah Chrisley is continuing to fuel romance speculation ... because she's been spotted at breakfast with the mystery man who's been popping up by her side in recent weeks.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ the reality TV star was seen hanging out with the unidentified guy in Nashville, where the pair appeared comfortable in each other's company throughout the outing.

We're told there wasn't any over-the-top PDA between the two, but they stayed close for much of the time they were together, looking more than friendly as they spent time side-by-side.

"Love & Hip Hop: Miami" star Michael Blackson settled up with his close friend and baby mama Nadia Beddini and agreed to pay her thousands per month in child support ... TMZ has learned.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Michael will pony up $4,500 per month in support for their nearly 1-year-old son, Kweku, and pay Nadia $5K for her lawyer fees for the case.

This is a custody settlement ... meaning Michael and Nadia agreed on all the terms, and the judge signed off on the deal.

Tyra Banks ain't just serving looks ... she just filed a defamation lawsuit against Netflix following her participation in their "Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model" docuseries.

The legal docs, filed Saturday and obtained by TMZ, allege Netflix only used 16 minutes from her over 3-hour interview with them and manipulated it "to support a false and defamatory narrative."

The lawsuit accuses producers of constructing a false narrative about Tyra through "selective editing, deliberate omission, and surgical manipulation of continuous footage -- including that Ms. Banks knowingly allowed a contestant to be sexually assaulted on her show, exploited that contestant's trauma for ratings, and then could not even remember it when asked."

Kyle Cooke feels betrayed by West Wilson and Amanda Batula ... but that doesn't mean he needs to take himself out of the dating game!

The "Summer House" star was spotted at an Uber event in New York City Friday night with a mystery brunette in tow ... and yes, they were definitely together. Just look at the clip -- he held her hand to lead her through the crowd, and at another point, they were listening to the Backstreet Boys with Bravo honcho Andy Cohen.

It's unclear if they're just pals or an item, but we're happy to see Kyle getting out there as he continues to grapple with the fact his former close friend, West, is now fully in a relationship with Kyle's estranged wife, Amanda.

Courtney Stodden is happy with her breast reduction ... but she's shocked how many men are upset with her new look.

We got Courtney out in Hollywood and she told our photog why it was the right call to downsize ... and why anyone having a breakdown over her new body needs to chill.

Courtney was joined by her Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Stuart Linder ... who she said did a wonderful job making her more proportional ... and yes, they're still spectacular.

Spencer Pratt's out of the Los Angeles mayor's race ... but he's not fading quietly into the abyss ... instead, he's threatening to take down one of the other candidates for mayor ... and he says he has a shocking recording that will make one of them resign.

The reality TV star makes the shocking claim in a new social media post ... a 3-minute clip where he vows his war against corrupt politicians in L.A. is only just beginning, even though his mayoral campaign is over.

Spencer says he has a recording he was saving for the general election, but now that he hasn't advanced ... he says he's going to wait to share it until after Nithya Raman or Karen Bass wins.

He claims the video shows one of the "exalted candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame." He also hints it may have been recorded by one of their staff members.

Here's James Kennedy looking smitten with his newly revealed pregnant GF, Jordan Meyers, at the star-studded opening of Lisa Vanderpump's newest Las Vegas venture.

The party went down on the Las Vegas Strip Thursday night, where James and Jordan led the celebrity arrivals at The Vanderpump Hotel ... and the queen of the empire graced everyone with her presence.

Lisa was in full boss mode for the big night, welcoming a guest list packed with familiar faces, including Tom Sandoval, Jessi Draper, Holly Madison, and more.

Teresa Giudice’s daughter looks like she's addressing her recent arrest for alleged assault ... and she did it with some A.I. slop on the 'Gram.

Milania Giudice posted several inspirational quotes to her IG Story Thursday night ... including one A.I.-generated image that says, in part, "None of us sit high enough to look down on anybody."

Folks think it's Milania's way of addressing her legal issues.

"The Real Housewives of Orange County" alum Kelly Dodd is openly shading the show ... and even coming out with a major prediction about its potential demise.

Kelly hopped on social media Thursday and mocked a group photo promoting the upcoming 'RHOC' season ... saying it looks like they're all going to a funeral.

And it's not just any funeral ... Kelly thinks the photo hints that the show is coming to an end!!!

Savannah Chrisley and her mystery man are still going strong months after they were first spotted together.

TMZ has obtained new photos of Savannah and her boyfriend cruising around Nashville Wednesday evening. Savannah was behind the wheel of a white convertible sports car while her man rode shotgun, marking one of the rare times the couple has been seen together in public.

The sighting comes months after TMZ first broke the story that Savannah had moved on romantically. Back in December 2025, we obtained photos of Savannah getting cozy with a mystery man during a getaway to the Cayman Islands.

Bravo says "Real Housewives of Orange County" newbie Carmella Garcia is a "girls' girl" ... but was once caught up in a bar fight with another woman, and it landed her a year's worth of probation.

'RHOC' officially announced on Thursday that the former Playboy Playmate of the Year will be joining the cast of season 20.

In a press release, Bravo says Carmella is "a self-proclaimed 'girls’ girl'" ... but she was accused -- and ultimately acquitted -- of kicking a woman during a 2004 bar fight.
