Tom Sandoval says he's blown away by his experiences with "Vanderpump Rules" ... after producers made it clear there's no place for him or any other OG castmate on the season 12 reboot.

Tom, who's been a fixture on the show for 11 years, shared a montage of photos and video clips from his time on the reality show on his Instagram Saturday.

In the caption, Tom reflected on his journey on the series in which he shared, "Where do I begin… I’m overwhelmed with so many emotions right now… The unbelievable series of events that brought this group together still blows my mind to this day."

If Ariana Madix is bummed about being axed from “Vanderpump Rules" ... it sure didn't show as she slayed Thursday morning during the 2024 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Ariana entertained the massive crowd with The Cardigans' classic “Lovefool” ... in front of the iconic Macy’s Herald Square location in New York City.

The show-stopping performance from the Broadway and reality star happened on the heels of Bravo announcing it was axing the entire cast of 'VPR' for Season 12 ... and replacing them with a “new group of close-knit SUR-vers.”

"Vanderpump Rules" is going to have a clean sweep of it's cast for Season 12, but not if you pick up what Peter Madrigal is puttin' down.

We got Peter outside SUR restaurant in WeHo Friday night, and he addressed a story TMZ broke a few days back ... that there will be an entirely new cast for the next season. Peter seems to think there's an outlier -- or maybe more accurately an inlier -- someone who's gonna stick around, and he repeatedly insinuates it's him!

As you know, the ratings have been sagging, but the show did have a resurgence after the whole cheating scandal with Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix and Rachel Leviss. The show got super popular after that, but it's time for some fresh faces and bodies that will actually work at Sur.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's ongoing financial and marital drama has taken another turn — cause TMZ has learned the estranged couple is now officially living apart as their Georgia mansion heads to the auction block.

Sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ ... Kim and Kroy secured their own, separate rental houses not far from where their longtime marital home is. We're told their 4 minor children — Kroy Jr., Kash, Kaia, and Kane — will split their time between their parents' rental homes.

The two now living apart marks a significant shift in their contentious divorce saga, which has played out in court and in public. Until this week, the pair had been living under the same roof in their sprawling 7-bedroom, 11-bathroom estate, despite over a year of mounting financial troubles.

Nick Cannon is giving back to the less fortunate before Thanksgiving ... but he's not giving any love to some of the folks who started this whole holiday.

We got Nick on his way to volunteer Wednesday at the L.A. Mission's Thanksgiving event on Skid Row and our photog asked him about what Turkey Day means to him.

Nick joked ... "I don't f*** with pilgrims" ... and then he got real -- telling us giving back and spending time with family come first.

Jesse James is being sued over a custom firearm he agreed to make for a customer ... but Jesse says the guy taking him to court is refusing to pay the rest of his bill and is trying to back out.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, a man named David Chace claims he entered into an oral agreement with Jesse and his company Jesse James Firearms Unlimited in 2018 for the construction and purchase of a custom-made pistol set and gave Jesse a $5,000 deposit.

Chace claims he put the project on hold in 2020 and when he resumed it in April 2020, Chace says he tried to change his order from a whole set of pistols to a single custom firearm ... and says Jesse agreed to the change.

Nev Schulman nailed his goal of running the NYC marathon just three months after breaking his neck in a near-fatal crash ... and he's opening up about it all to TMZ.

We caught up with the "Catfish" star in NYC on Wednesday, and he told us the marathon was tough 'cause he obviously wasn’t in his usual shape -- but he pushed through and made it to the finish line. The big takeaway? Keep going, no matter what.

As for his post-recovery progress, Nev’s still in PT, but tells us his neck’s way better now. He’s back running and biking -- in fact, he's feeling so active, he even wants to return to the 'DWTS' dance floor.

Mauricio Umansky may as well file for divorce today, if 'RHOBH' star Sutton Stracke is telling the truth.

Stracke spilled the tea on Tuesday's episode ... blabbing to Kathy Hilton and Erika Jayne that Mauricio swapped a pic of him and Kyle Richards for "the woman from 'Dancing with the Stars,'" AKA Emma Slater.

It’s no secret Mauricio and Emma were linked -- so claimed lots of folks after the two walked out of a fancy sushi joint holding hands during their stint on Season 32.

Smash that 'like' button ... 'cause these influencers turned the 2024 TikTok Awards into their personal runway, serving looks and breaking the internet with their style game.

Jojo Siwa was leading the charge, rocking a jaw-dropping rainbow outfit and a bedazzled eye mask as she strutted into the event in Sydney -- and she was in good company, joined by fellow TikTokers Sophie Jordan, Tilly Oddy-Black, and Australia’s very own Robert Irwin.

The red carpet was dripping with nonstop glamour, especially with Indy Clinton turning up the heat in a gold minidress as she prepared to host the ceremony, a year after winning the Creator of the Year award.

"Dancing with the Stars" Season 33 has crowned its winning couple -- and the winner is ...

Well, you'll just have to wait a moment. Let's first recap how we got here. This season saw 8 weeks of competition leading up to Tuesday night's finale.

Five couples participated in the finale. Here's the list of celebrity and professional dancer pairings: Ex-NFLer Danny Amendola and Witney Carson, 'Bachelorette' star Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson, actress Chandler Kinney and Brandon Armstrong, Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher and Alan Bersten, and Olympic gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik and Rylee Arnold.
