'Extreme Weight Loss' Star Brandi Mallory Dead At 40

Published | Updated

Brandi Mallory -- a former cast member on the TV show "Extreme Weight Loss" -- has died in Georgia.

Mallory passed away in Atlanta on November 9, according to the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office.  Her cause of death has not been disclosed.

The ex-reality star made her 2014 appearance on season 4 of the ABC series. She revealed why she joined "Extreme Weight Loss" during a 2018 interview uploaded to YouTube.

Mallory told a journalist she was motivated to shed pounds after her overweight sorority sister died at age 29.

She said it played on her mind that she could die too if she didn't do something about her 329-pound frame.

The makeup artist said she went on a casting call for "The Biggest Loser," but was rejected, yet the producers helped her win a spot on "Extreme Weight Loss."

That show featured obese people on their journey to shed weight with a healthy diet and workout routine.

Mallory was 40.

RIP

Kyle Richards Think My Separation Is For Clicks? You're an IDIOT!!!

COULDN'T BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH

Kyle Richards is comin' after folks who think her marriage trouble with Mauricio Umansky is a clever way to stay relevant ... saying a popularity contest for a "dumb TV show" is the last thing on her mind.

The 'RHOBH' star dragged her doubters during Tuesday's episode of Bravo's "Hot Mic" podcast, telling Emmy-Nominated Executive Producer, Alex Baskin one of the dumbest things she's heard since joining the 'Real Housewives' cast is the idea that she'd put her family through hell so the show could get a boost in ratings.

She shot down claims she's fabricating the issues she and Mauricio are facing lately in their relationship -- adding she's got no real reason to try and stay relevant by pointing out she's already been on TV for 13 seasons.

Kyle's also addressed the so-called gold digger theory ... people who think she's just staying with her real estate mogul husband to spend his money. Well, she's got a bold response -- you really gotta see how she puts that one to bed.

As we reported, Kyle and Mauricio announced they were separating back in July, after 27 years of marriage ... but denied they were getting a divorce. They admitted they've been facing a "challenging" year, but said there was no wrongdoing on anyone's part.

DROPPING THE D-WORD

Since then, they've gone on family vacations together and continue to live under the same roof. Mauricio's denied there's anything going on with his 'DWTS' partner Emma Slater, but Kyle seems skeptical -- and even referred to their split as a "divorce" during BravoCon.

Hard to say where they stand today, but Kyle, at least, is making it clear all the drama is very real, and NOT manufactured for clout.

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN TOPLESS FOR STEAMY SHOOT WITH TRAVIS ... 'My Partner In Crime, My Heartthrob'

Published | Updated

Kourtney Kardashian celebrated hubby Travis Barker's 48th birthday with a heartfelt tribute ... and a carousel of topless pregnancy pics.

The Blink-182 drummer took on the role of bump cradler during Kourtney's revealing shoot -- and when she ditched the clothes, he channeled his inner Janet Jackson circa 1993 with a strategic boob-cupping move.

The Polaroid IG images caught some heat online with fans likening it to a "prison conjugal visit" and others saying it was way too much PDA for their liking - "We could've lived happily without seeing these pics."

But, the star made it obvious she wasn't holding back on displaying her infatuation ... going on to gush in the caption: "To my husband, the keeper of my heart, my partner in crime, my personal heartthrob, the daddy to our little mischief-maker, my all-encompassing joy… Here's to another year of putting up with me! Happy birthday, love!"

Ensuring to express her gratitude to Travis further, Kourtney took things one step further by throwing him a Thanksgiving-themed birthday bash.

TRAVIS' THANKSGIVING SPREAD

She offered a glimpse of the festive atmosphere with a series of snaps and clips with Frank Sinatra's "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" playing in the background. She captioned it, "vegan thanksgiving for my baby's birthday @travisbarker ❤️."

This will be the couple's first holiday season as new parents ... as the pair welcomed their first child, Rocky, into the world last week.

Kourtney Kardashian Topless para una sesión de fotos con Travis ¡Feliz cumpleaños, amor!

Published | Updated

Kourtney Kardashian celebró el cumpleaños 48 de su marido Travis Barker con un sentido homenaje y un carrusel de fotos de su embarazo en topless.

El baterista de Blink-182 está abrazando a Kourtney y acunando cariñosamente su panza durante sesión, y cuando ella se quitó la ropa, él canalizó su Janet Jackson interior por ahí por 1993 con un movimiento estratégico de tetas.

Las imágenes fueron un poco criticadas en las redes con los fans comparándolo con una "visita conyugal en prisión" y otros diciendo que era demasiada demostración de afecto en público para su gusto: "Podríamos haber vivido felizmente sin ver estas fotos."

Sin embargo, la estrella dejó claro que no se contenía a la hora de mostrar lo enamorada que está, y se deshizo en elogios en el pie de foto: "Para mi marido, el guardián de mi corazón, mi compañero de aventuras, mi rompecorazones personal, el papá de nuestro pequeño travieso, mi alegría que todo lo abarca. ¡Este es por otro año de aguantarme! Feliz cumpleaños, amor!".

Para asegurarse de expresar aún más su gratitud a Travis, Kourtney le organizó una fiesta de cumpleaños con la temática de Acción de Gracias.

En las fotos se aprecia un poco la atmósfera festiva. En un clip se escucha "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", de Frank Sinatra sonando de fondo. Ella lo subtituló, "acción de gracias vegana para el cumpleaños de mi bebé @travisbarker ❤️".

Estas será las primeras fiestas de la pareja como nuevos padres. Kourtney y Travis le dieron la bienvenida a su primer hijo, Rocky, la semana pasada.

RENEE GRAZIANO CHECKS INTO REHAB After Drug Overdose

Published

"Mob Wives" star Renee Graziano has checked in to a Texas rehab facility following a drug relapse.

Renee's manager, Chris Giovanni, tells TMZ ... she called him Monday from the treatment center, where she was accompanied by a counselor and only had 10 minutes to talk.

He says Renee told him she overdosed back in mid-September on what she described as a "bad batch" of an unspecific drug she'd gotten from a dealer. She didn't give Chris any other details about the OD.

Chris says what she did tell him, though, aligns with his struggles to get in touch with Renee from September to now ... adding any contact they had during that period was sporadic and brief.

Chris says Renee attributes her relapse to struggles related to the death of her father, Anthony Graziano, who passed away in May 2019.

Renee's life in the spotlight has been marred by hardship -- particularly in January 2022, when she was arrested for driving while impaired after crashing her car into a parked SUV on Staten Island.

Soon after, Renee pledged to kick her sleeping pill addiction by seeking treatment from "The Hills" star Jason Wahler and his Red Songbird Foundation ... in the hopes of getting her life back on track.

While Renee's getting treatment once again, there's no apparent investigation into her September OD. Chris says she did not report it, or the "bad batch" of drugs to police.

Renee Graziano Ingresa a rehabilitación Después de una sobredosis de drogas

Published

La estrella de "Mob Wives" Renee Graziano ingresó a un centro de rehabilitación en Texas tras una recaída en las drogas.

El manager de Renee, Chris Giovanni, le dice a TMZ que ella lo llamó el lunes desde el lugar, donde estuvo acompañada por un consejero. Solo tuvo 10 minutos para hablar.

Dice que Renee le dijo que tuvo una sobredosis a mediados de septiembre, con lo que ella describió como un "lote malo" de una droga no especificada que consiguió de un distribuidor. No le dio más detalles a Chris sobre la sobredosis.

Chris dice que la historia coincide con sus dificultades para ponerse en contacto con Renee desde septiembre. Añade que el contacto entre ellos fue esporádico y breve durante ese periodo.

También dice que Renee atribuye su recaída a las luchas relacionadas con la muerte de su padre, Anthony Graziano, quien falleció en mayo de 2019.

La vida pública de Renee se ha visto empañada por las dificultades, sobre todo en enero de 2022, cuando fue detenida por conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol tras estrellar su carro contra un todoterreno aparcado en Staten Island.

Poco después, Renee se comprometió a dejar su adicción a las pastillas para dormir, buscando ayuda con la estrella de "The Hills", Jason Wahler y su Red Songbird Foundation, con la esperanza de poner en marcha su vida nuevamente.

Aunque Renee está recibiendo tratamiento una vez más, no hay ninguna investigación aparente sobre su sobredosis de septiembre. Chris dice que ella no informó del incidente ni del "mal lote" de medicamentos a la policía.

Steve-O Jon Jones me reventó la oreja c/ cinturón de la UFC Y me encanta ❤!!!

Absurdo deseo

Steve-O está haciendo historia en la UFC, gracias al campeón de los pesos pesados, Jon Jones, ¡¡¡porque estamos seguros de que un cinturón de la UFC nunca ha sido emparejado con un martillo para romperle la oreja a alguien!!!

Echa un vistazo a este video de locos, si tu estómago puede soportarlo. La estrella de "Jackass" estaba pasando el rato con Jon en Albuquerque cuando se le ocurrió la delirante idea de que este le diera el golpe.

Se trata de una deformación de la oreja que los luchadores comúnmente obtienen en sus competencias, pero Steve-O tomó un atajo, colocando su oreja derecha debajo del cinturón de Jon y haciendo que él literalmente le martillara el cinturón.

Le costó unos cuantos golpes, pero como era de esperar, la oreja de Steve se convirtió rápidamente en un desastre que no paraba de sangrar 😱.

El estúpido truco forma parte de su especial de comedia "Bucket List", que se estrenó el martes, y Steve lo describe como una recopilación de cosas que no fue capaz de hacer en "Jackass".

Steve-O dice que trabajó en este proyecto durante cinco años y consiguió al comediante Bill Burr para la secuencia de apertura del especial, por el que gastó más de 150 mil dólares solo para la producción de esos 90 segundos de metraje.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Steve-O dice que intentó vender el especial a numerosas plataformas de streaming, pero era demasiado intenso, así que lo lanzó de forma independiente en su propio sitio web.

Echa un vistazo si quieres, pero presta atención a la advertencia ... Parece que algunas personas se desmayaron viendo algunas de las imágenes. ¡Toma este video de la oreja como una prueba de tu fortaleza!

Steve-O Jon Jones Smashed My Ear w/ UFC BELT ... And I ❤ It!!!

INSANE BUCKET LIST

Steve-O is making UFC history, thanks to heavyweight champ Jon Jones -- 'cause we're pretty sure a UFC belt's never been paired with a hammer to smash someone's ear!!!

Check out the insane clip, if your stomach can handle it -- the "Jackass" star was chilling with Jon in Albuquerque when they came up with the crazy idea for Jon to try to give Steve cauliflower ear.

It's a gnarly deformation of the ear wrestlers and combat fighters commonly get from competition, but Steve-O took a short cut -- laying his right ear under Jon's belt and having Jon literally hammer the belt.

It took a few swings, but as expected, Steve's ear quickly became a bloody mess.😱

The stupid human stunt is part of his 'Bucket List' multimedia comedy special, which dropped on Tuesday -- and Steve describes it as a compilation of things he wasn't able to do on "Jackass."

Steve-O says he worked on this project for 5 years, and got comedian Bill Burr for the opening sequence, and he dropped more than $150k just on the production of that 90 seconds of footage.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Steve-O says he tried shopping the special around to numerous different streaming platforms, but it was just too intense ... so he just released it independently on his own site instead.

Check it out if you want, but heed the warning, it looks like some folks in his live audience passed out watching the graphic footage. Take this ear footage as a test of your constitution!

Kim Zolciak Selling Off Designer Wear ... Amid Financial Woes

Published | Updated

Looks like Kim Zolciak is trying to chip away at her and Kroy Biermann's mountain of debt ... 'cause she's unloading some of her designer wear online in hopes of making a profit.

Kim listed handbags, shoes and more Tuesday -- but it ain't garage sale prices -- she's charging $5,900 for a Chanel Shearling bag, and $4,500 for a grey Louis Vuitton purse!!!

She's also asking $1,250 for a pair of her Gucci mink heels and $600 for her Balmain plastic heels ... so if ya want it, you better bring some serious dough.

The impromptu sale might not just be proof she's working off that debt -- it could also be another sign that things between Kim and Kroy are positive yet again ... kinda like a peace offering to her estranged hubby amid their divorce.

As we reported, Kroy was selling off some of his stuff to tackle their financial woes in the past, and he asked Kim to do the same. However, we were told she sold off some of her things and pocketed the cash for herself instead of helping pay off the debt.

HERE'S TO 12 YEARS!!!

She's also recently changed her IG handle to include "Biermann" as her last name, and they were out to dinner over the weekend to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary ... an outing you likely wouldn't do with someone you're actively divorcing.

Hopefully, Kim's new sale can help get them outta the hole ... and it better -- because her swag ain't cheap!

KIM ZOLCIAK VENDE ROPA DE DISEÑO En medio de problemas financieros

Published | Updated

Parece que Kim Zolciak está tratando de disminuir la montaña de deudas que tiene con Kroy Biermann. Pensamos esto porque se está desasiendo de varios artículos de moda diseñador en linea.

¡Kim puso a la venta bolsos, zapatos y más el martes!, pero no son precios de venta de garaje, ella está cobrando 5.900 dólares por un bolso de Chanel Shearling y 4.500 dólares por un bolso gris de Louis Vuitton.

También está pidiendo 1.250 dólares por un par de sus tacones de visón de Gucci y 600 por sus tacones de plástico Balmain. Así que si algo de esto te interesa no va a ser nada barato.

La venta improvisada no solo podría ser una prueba de que está trabajando para afrontar su deuda, también podría ser otra señal de que las cosas entre Kim y Kroy van bien de nuevo, algo así como una ofrenda de paz a su marido en medio de su divorcio.

Como informamos, Kroy estaba vendiendo algunas de sus cosas para hacer frente a sus problemas financieros en el pasado, y le pidió a Kim que hiciera lo mismo. Sin embargo, nos dijeron que ella vendió algunas de sus cosas y se embolsó el dinero para sí misma en lugar de ayudar a pagar la deuda.

¡por nuestros 12 años!

Ella también ha cambiado recientemente su IG incluyendo "Biermann" como su apellido, y estaban cenando el fin de semana para celebrar su aniversario número 12 de boda... algo que probablemente no haría con alguien que está divorciando activamente.

¡Con suerte, la nueva venta de Kim puede ayudar a sacarlos del agujero! Lo cual no sería nada de malo, ya que no será nada barato.

KIM ZOLCIAK CAMBIA SU NOMBRE EN INSTAGRAM

Published

Kim Zolciak ha restaurado su nombre de casada en su biografía Instagram, sirviendo como evidencia de que su matrimonio cambiante con Kroy Biermann está de vuelta en medio del divorcio... super confuso, ¿no?

La ex estrella de "Real Housewives of Atlanta" cambió su cuenta de Instagram de @kimzolciak a @kimzbiermann, que era la que usaba antes de su última ruptura con Kroy en agosto.

111223_kim_kroy_dinner_kal_v2 11/11/23
¡por nuestros 12 años!

Es más, Kim y Kroy fueron vistos en una cita cenando durante el fin de semana para celebrar aniversario de bodas número 12.

Los dos parecían una pareja feliz, comiendo lasaña, pollo a la parmesana y postres de chocolate en un restaurante italiano en Georgia.

Viendo el video de Inta que publicaron de su noche especial juntos, nunca adivinarías que Kim y Kroy están en medio de su segundo divorcio, ¡pero lo están!

El divorcio no ha sido nada fácil. El juez dividió literalmente su casa por la mitad para que no tuvieran que relacionarse. Kroy se quedó con el dormitorio principal y Kim fue relegada al sótano. La policía fue varias veces a la casa para resolver disputas maritales (algunas un tanto absurdas).

Sin embargo, parece que hay cada vez más pruebas de que una vez más van a cancelar su divorcio y tratar de vivir felices para siempre, incluso con todas sus peleas y problemas financieros.

Si eso va a suceder es una incógnita. Pero hay que tener en cuenta que Kim y Kroy ya han pasado por este camino una vez y ambos acordaron desestimar su primera petición de divorcio en julio.

¿Será la segunda vez la vencida? Estén atentos.

Kim Zolciak I'm Back To Biermann Again On Instagram ... What Divorce???

Published | Updated

Kim Zolciak has restored her married name to her Instagram bio, serving as yet another piece of evidence her hot-and-cold marriage to Kroy Biermann is back on track amid their divorce. Yeah, we get it ... super confusing.

The former 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star replaced her IG handle @kimzolciak with @kimzbiermann, which was the one she used before her latest breakup with Kroy back in August.

111223_kim_kroy_dinner_kal_v2 11/11/23
here's to 12 years!!!

What's more, Kim and Kroy were seen out on a dinner date over the weekend to celebrate their 12th wedding anniversary.

The two looked like a happy couple, chowing down on lasagna, chicken parm and chocolate desserts at an Italian restaurant in Georgia.

By looking at the IG video they posted of their special night together, you would never guess Kim and Kroy are in the middle of their 2nd divorce, but they are!!!

Here's how bad it got. The divorce judge literally divided their home in half so they didn't have to interact. Kroy got the primary bedroom and Kim was relegated to the basement. The police were regulars at the house to settle various marital disputes.

Yet, there seems to be mounting evidence that they're gonna once again call off their divorce and try to live happily ever after -- even with all of their constant blowout fights and financial troubles.

Whether that will happen is anyone's guess. But keep in mind, Kim and Kroy have already been down this road once before -- and both agreed to dismiss their first divorce petition in July.

Will the second time be a charm? Stay tuned.

Larsa Pippen Pissed Off At Julia Lemigova ... Don't Ask My Man to Take Pics of You!

Published | Updated

Larsa Pippen is enraged at her 'Real Housewives' costar, Julia Lemigova ... who had the nerve -- in Larsa's opinion -- to ask Marcus Jordan to take pics of her while they were at BravoCon.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Julia asked Marcus to snap a few photos during last month's big convention in Las Vegas, using his phone. We're told they were innocent, smiling shots.

Our sources say no one around thought Julia's request was odd ... well, no one except Larsa. We're told she seemed a bit jealous, based on the fact she started complaining about the incident to other cast members.

We're told Larsa implied to others the photos were Julia's way of trying to seduce Marcus ... and she wasn't cool with her asking her man to take them, especially on his own phone.

After BravoCon wrapped, Julia asked Larsa if she could get Marcus' pics of her -- but when Larsa went radio silent, the other ladies filled Julia in on what Larsa had been saying ... and now they're giving each other the cold shoulder.

Bottom line, we're told Julia is sick of Larsa's jealousy, and she's sure Larsa is on a giant smear campaign against her.

BTW, Julia never posted the pics Marcus took, but she has been sharing others from BravoCon. Seems like a few simple selfies woulda spared everyone the drama.

LARSA PIPPEN FURIOSA CON JULIA LEMIGOVA ¡No le pidas a mi hombre que te tome fotos!

Published

Larsa Pippen está furiosa con su compañera de "Real Housewives", Julia Lemigova luego de pedirle a su novio, Marcus Jordan, que le tomara algunas fotos en BravoCon.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que Julia le pidió a Marcus que tomara algunas fotos de ella sonriendo en la gran convención del mes pasado. Nos dicen que eran solo fotos inocentes.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que nadie pensó que la solicitud fuera extraña, nadie excepto Larsa, quien estaba un poco celosa después de ver lo que pasó.

Nos dicen que Larsa le dio a entender a los demás que las fotos eran la manera de Julia de tratar de seducir a Marcus y ella no estaba bien con la idea de que su hombre le tomara fotos, sobre todo usando su propio teléfono.

Después de BravoCon, Julia le preguntó Larsa si podía tener las fotos de ella del teléfono de Marcus, pero cuando Larsa no respondió, las otras chicas le dijeron a Julia lo que Larsa estaba diciendo acerca de ella y ahora ninguna de las dos se habla.

En pocas palabras, Julia está harta de los celos de Larsa y está segura de que Larsa está en una campaña de desprestigio gigante contra ella. Mientras que la gente alrededor de ellas piensa que Larsa está tratando desesperadamente de pintar a Julia como cualquier cosa menos una persona amable.

Por cierto, Julia nunca publicó las fotos que Marcus tomó, pero ha publicado otras del mismo día en el evento...

Audrina Patridge 15-Year-Old Niece Died from Drug OD Cops Investigating Possible Criminal Charges

Published | Updated

It's been 9 months since the tragic death of Audrina Patridge's 15-year-old niece, Sadie, and cops are working to find out who may have supplied the drugs that killed the young girl.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Sadie's death has officially been ruled a narcotic overdose. However, they've not yet determined the manner of death as there's currently an investigation for possible criminal charges.

Our sources say cops want to figure out how Sadie was able to obtain the drugs.

One source tells us ... Sadie was able to buy Percocet through Snapchat, and it was laced with fentanyl. Of course, if that's the case ... cops will work to determine who sold it to the young teen and charges will likely follow.

You'll remember, the man who supplied Mac Miller with a fatal dose of fentanyl was sentenced to 17.5 years in May of last year after Mac's 2018 death ... so it's very much a serious offense.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

It was back in February when Audrina announced the heartbreaking news that Sadie had died, writing, "My beautiful niece is now in heaven. I know Its not goodbye forever, but it is the hardest to say goodbye for now. We will miss you and cherish every single moment we had with you. Rest in peace Say Say!! We love you forever & ever!"

Sadie's death is yet another example of an extremely dangerous fentanyl issue. Her family set up a GoFundMe in Sadie's honor, with funds to be directed to the Sadie Raine Foundation, established to help teens and their families.

AUDRINA PATRIDGE Su SOBRINA DE 15 AÑOS MURIÓ POR sobredosis DE DROGAS

Published | Updated

Han pasado 9 meses desde la trágica muerte de la sobrina de 15 años de Audrina Patridge, Sadie, y la policía está trabajando para averiguar quién pudo haber suministrado las drogas que mataron a la joven.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que la muerte de Sadie ha sido oficialmente dictaminada como una sobredosis de narcóticos. Sin embargo, aún no han determinado la forma de la muerte ya que actualmente hay una investigación por posibles cargos criminales.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que la policía quiere averiguar cómo Sadie fue capaz de obtener los medicamentos.

Una fuente nos dice que Sadie fue capaz de comprar Percocet a través de Snapchat y estaba mezclado con fentanilo. Por supuesto, si ese es el caso, los policías trabajarán para determinar quién se lo vendió a la joven adolescente y los cargos probablemente seguirán.

Recordarás que el hombre que le suministró a Mac Miller una dosis fatal de fentanilo fue condenado a 17 años y 5 meses en mayo del año pasado después de la muerte de Mac en 2018, por lo que es un delito muy grave.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Fue en febrero, cuando Audrina anunció la desgarradora noticia de que Sadie había muerto, escribiendo: "Mi hermosa sobrina está ahora en el cielo. Sé que no es un adiós para siempre, pero es el más difícil decir adiós por ahora. Te echaremos de menos y apreciaremos cada momento que pasamos contigo. ¡Descansa en paz Say Say! Te queremos para siempre".

La muerte de Sadie es un ejemplo más de la peligrosidad del fentanilo. Su familia creó un GoFundMe en honor de Sadie, cuyos fondos se destinarán a la Fundación Sadie Raine, creada para ayudar a los adolescentes y sus familias.
