"90 Day Fiancé" star Armando Niedermeier-Rubio is unable to enter the country to be by his daughter's side as she's being treated in the ICU ... because TMZ has learned he was turned away at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Here's the deal ... Armando announced Wednesday his daughter, Hannah, was rushed to the ER at a Mexican hospital after half her face became "droopy" and half her body lost its strength. Assuming something was wrong with her brain, he and the doctor decided to transfer Hannah to the USA so she could obtain better care.

Taylor Frankie Paul is facing a new legal battle ... 'cause Utah's Division of Child and Family Services has filed a petition asking a juvenile court to find her three children are "abused, neglected or dependent" and order protective supervision ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ ... Utah DCFS filed the petition this week, asking the court to take jurisdiction over the "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star's children with ex-husband Tate Paul and ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen and set the matter for an expedited hearing.

The filing asks a judge to find the children meet Utah's legal definition of "abused, neglected or dependent children" and to order protective supervision services, appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the children and issue any additional orders deemed to be in their best interests.

The petition also references the family's prior history with DCFS and ongoing custody matters involving the fathers of Taylor's children as part of the agency's request for court intervention.

Mason Haynes -- a longtime celebrity bodyguard who protected members of the Kardashian family and several other A-listers -- is dead.

A GoFundMe created for his family says Mason died in a traffic accident on July 4, just two days before what would have been his 53rd birthday.

Mason spent years working in close protection ... with the Kardashians among his first celebrity clients. He previously said he had worked with Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner and Kanye West ... along with Kevin Hart, Nicki Minaj, Charlie Puth and Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton.

Taylor Frankie Paul's taken a few Ls this year ... but she just won big in court and was granted her temporary restraining order against her ex's friend, TMZ has learned.

New court docs, obtained by TMZ, show that the court's siding with Taylor against Dakota Mortensen's friend, Cru Eaton.

"Married to Medicine: Los Angeles" star Colin Dias says he's not trying to have his ex-wife whacked ... vehemently denying her claims that he's cooking up a murder-for-hire plot ... and alleging she's the real menace.

In a statement to TMZ, Dr. Dias' attorney -- Robert Eisfelder -- says his client denies Lia Jones' allegations and claims her latest filing ignores a lengthy history between the former couple.

We broke the story ... Lia beelined it to court Monday and filed for a domestic violence restraining order against Colin, claiming a neighbor told her Colin asked them "what would it cost to get rid of [her]." She claimed Colin talked to the neighbor about guns and was "actively looking and recruiting" someone to murder her.

Colin's attorney says it's all BS, though.

Jax Taylor's relationship with his longtime publicist Lori Krebs didn't begin with a secret affair ... it grew out of a friendship strengthened by some of life's biggest challenges … TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the pair tell TMZ … Jax and Lori have grown significantly closer over the past several months while supporting each other through their respective divorces and the unique experience of raising children with autism. We're told those deeply personal experiences created a bond that eventually turned romantic.

Brielle Biermann says the only sign of Kroy on her wedding day might just be her last name ... because she has no idea if he even plans to show up.

Photogs got Brielle at LAX on Tuesday ... and they asked her if both Kroy and her mom, Kim Zolciak, planned to be at her wedding despite their nasty divorce.

Check out the clip ... Brielle says she can't answer that question -- because she hasn't heard from Kroy in a while, and she's got no idea what he's got up his sleeve.

"Dancing with the Stars" pro Gleb Savchenko's ex-wife, Elena Samodanova, is firing back at his claim she abducted their daughters and moved them to China ... insisting Hong Kong is the girls' permanent home and accusing him of wrongfully keeping one of their daughters in California by canceling her return flight.

Elena tells TMZ ... "The statement from Mr. Savchenko's attorney misrepresents our family's reality. As Olivia's primary caregiver, I have raised her every day while Gleb worked full-time on DWTS. Today, Olivia thrives in Hong Kong. She attends a top school and is an elite ballroom dancer."

She continues ... "Gleb's actions directly jeopardize her future, education, and athletic progress. California lacks jurisdiction over our daughter. Hong Kong is Olivia's permanent home and legal residency. Ironically, Gleb himself holds a Permanent Resident card there. Olivia was scheduled to return to Hong Kong on June 5th, but her father wrongfully canceled her ticket without my permission. This is a wrongful international retention."

Brittany Cartwright is getting out of town after TMZ published photos of her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, getting cozy with the couple's publicist, Lori Krebs, who Brittany has since fired.

The "Love Island USA" villa is full of double standards ... at least according to one of the most recent contestants -- who felt she was on the receiving end of sexist attitudes.

Here's the deal ... Kenzie Annis -- who appeared on Season 8 of the hit show -- sat down with Alex Cooper on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast ... and they discussed her costars' reactions to her making out with Corbin while she was coupled up with Caleb, a revelation discovered by the group during the "Movie Night" episode where Islanders watch clips of themselves the audience has seen.

The email also claims Dorit traveled to Europe while the children stayed in Florida with her parents and their nanny. PK's attorney says he was never told the children's travel dates, how long they'd be away, what arrangements had been made for them, or when they'd be returning.
