Jenelle Evans and David Eason are walking away from the cameras, so they say, while she pushes her new cosmetics line.
Jenelle and David hit up the Elf Sacks clothing fashion show Saturday at New York Fashion Week and even scored front row seats.
They told our photog everything's back to normal. Their kids are back home and in school. Of course, as we reported, the kids were taken away by Children's Services after David shot and killed the family dog. The judge eventually gave the kids back to Jenelle and David, and the Children's Services case was dropped.
David said he's gained some weight in the wake of all the drama, and Jenelle added they are now "fat and happy." She also said she wants away from the cams for awhile, and she's gonna focus on the cosmetics biz.

Bill Maher Fat Shaming Needs to Make a Comeback
Bill Maher thinks obese people need a little fat shaming ... in order to save their lives.
Bill launched on his HBO show, "Real Time with Bill Maher," jeering at liberals who have made criticism over weight taboo. He scoffs at the Democratic candidates who are fighting for health care coverage for people with preexisting conditions, when he says the most serious preexisting condition is obesity ... yet it's not only overlooked by the candidates, raising the subject is considered bullying.
Maher goes on ... saying we "eat like assholes" in the U.S., putting fried chicken on a sandwich, adding bacon and other ridiculous things until the gluttony will "make my mouth cum."
Bill doesn't stop there ... he notes that the number of shooting deaths pale by comparison to deaths and illnesses triggered by obesity, calling liberals who shun fat shaming, "NRA mayonnaise."
Ahhh, but there's more ... he says being fat is not a birth defect, citing the NYT which reports poor diet is the leading cause of mortality.
He even takes a shot at Weight Watchers, for being afraid to criticize people who tip the scales too hard.

"Fast N' Loud" star Richard Rawlings surprised the hell out of one of his fans ... an off-duty cop whose heroic effort is now being rewarded with a free trip to Richard's famous garage.
The hot rod guru tells TMZ ... he got on the horn this week with East Chicago Police detective Bill Johnsen to commend him and reward him for his selfless act during a shooting inside a Walmart in Hobart, Indiana.
ICYMI ... Johnsen and his family were shopping for fishing supplies last weekend when, out of nowhere, gunshots rang out. Naturally, it triggered a stampede for the exits. Johnsen rushed his family out of the store, but then ran back inside to locate the shooter.
Johnsen says he first found the victim -- who'd been shot in the stomach -- and then the shooter. The cop, who works with the gangs/narcotics unit, says the shooter appeared to give up, but with the rise in mass shootings, he wasn't taking any chances. He snatched the shooter's gun and disassembled it on the spot.

When Rawlings saw news stories about the incident, he noticed Johnsen wearing a tee with the logo for Gas Monkey Garage -- the Dallas-based garage where they shoot 'FNL.'
Rawlings -- who's a former police officer and even got shot in the arm once -- invited Johnsen and his wife, Nikki, to visit his garage and his restaurant. He says they're gonna hook up September 19.
RR's gonna pick up their whole tab -- air travel, accommodations, food, beer ... the whole shebang.
Very cool salute to Det. Johnsen from a very cool dude.

Production on one of Hulu's newest shows is gonna be delayed, courtesy of Hurricane Dorian blowing through its set.
Sources connected to the production of "Reprisal" -- a new drama series -- tell us they had to stop shooting Thursday as the Category 1 storm approached its Wilmington, North Carolina studio. As you know, Dorian crept along the coastline of the Carolinas after decimating the Bahamas ... where it killed at least 30 people.
We're told the entire staff was sent home Thursday and told to seek shelter. The plan is to return Monday and resume filming. Staffers were also told they had the option to be put up in a hotel in Raleigh ... 130 miles away from Dorian's impact.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
"Reprisal" -- starring Abigail Spencer and premiering December 6 -- shoots on a 50-acre production facility with 10 stages. It's a massive facility that's not only fully prepared to shoot movies like "Iron Man 3" and "We're the Millers" but also prepared for the furious weather conditions.
We're told the facility is as close to hurricane proof as you can get -- and came through Dorian's fury just fine. Still, the staff's safety was paramount, and that's why production came to a halt.

Soap Star Ashley Jones Claims Husband is Violent, Tracking Her ... Gets Restraining Order & Files for Divorce

Exclusive

'Bold and the Beautiful' star Ashley Jones claims her husband has been beating her at home ... and now she's getting court-ordered protection from him and kicking him to the curb.
Ashley -- who's known for her longtime role of Bridget Forrester on 'Bold' -- filed for divorce Friday, on the heels of a judge granting her a restraining order against her husband, Joel Henricks.
According to the restraining order obtained by TMZ ... Ashley claims she's the victim of physical abuse at the hands of her husband, and fears for her life and for the life of the couple's 3-year-old son.
In the docs, Ashley claims the abuse dates back to before they were married, but she says it's gotten more violent with time. She claims her husband caused a spiral fracture in her hand in September 2017, when they were struggling over her cell phone and he crushed her hand.
According to the restraining order request ... Ashley says she and her son left the house on August 17, and claims her husband has been stalking her ever since. She says the day after she left, she was at a friend's house when she discovered a tracking device under her car.
In the docs, Ashley also worries her that he has a small gun collection. The judge granted her the restraining order ... which requires Hendricks to stay 100 yards away from her and their son, and have no form of contact with them.
One week after getting that protection she marched into court and filed for divorce. The couple has 1 child together and have been married since 2016.
We've reached out to Hendricks ... so far, no word back.

Scott Disick could soon be doing backflips into a massive pile of money ... because he's looking to make a windfall on a pad he's flipping in Hidden Hills.
Lord Disick is putting his penchant for flipping houses to good use ... he's listing a spruced up crib for nearly $7 million after putting his fingerprints all over the place.
When you think Scott, you think party ... and the dude took a home that was originally built in 1973 and transformed it into a paradise, complete with a baller backyard featuring a zero-edge pool, spa and fire pit!!!
As we first reported ... Scott threw down $3.25 million in April 2018 for the nearly 5,000-square-foot space ... and he took a home that already had a huge pool and waterfalls and managed to make it even cooler.
The contemporary farmhouse welcomes you in with a stunning 10-foot high glass pivot door, and the home's interior looks just as snazzy as the revamped exterior ... just check out the gallery.
Andre Manoukian and Kozet Luciano from Keller Williams Studio City have the listing ... and the asking price is $6,890,000.
BTW ... the crib is only a couple houses down from the same one the Kardashians called home during the first few seasons of 'KUWTK.'
Scott's got his own show about flipping houses, "Flip It Like Disick" ... and this home will be featured on the upcoming season.
This is the second house he's listing. Scott just listed his own home in Hidden Hills for $13 million.
The Lord is also a land baron.

Eric McCormack I Don't Want Trump Donors Blacklisted ... Whoopi's Got It Wrong
Eric McCormack says Whoopi Goldberg went too far by equating his call for a list of people attending a Trump fundraiser to McCarthyism -- but he still wants to know who's giving big bucks to the Prez.
The "Will & Grace" star was at LAX Wednesday when he responded to the backlash he's been getting ... and said his words were misconstrued, and he's absolutely not trying to start another blacklist in Hollywood.
Eric explains it like this -- his original tweet was meant to be a call for transparency so HE can know where Trump's major donations come from ... for his own personal benefit.
He suggests if he knows who's spending money to help POTUS, he'll know not to spend his own time and money with those people. Eric notes it's a free country ... other people are free to make their own choices.
Whoopi wasn't really buying this reasoning earlier this week on "The View," though. She blasted the actor for going after people because he doesn't like who they voted for, adding ... "We can talk about issues and stuff, but we don't print out lists."
She went on to imply what Eric -- and his costar, Debra Messing, who had a similar tweet -- was doing was akin to what went down in the U.S. in the 1950s.
....said what she did, even being on a much higher rated show, she would have been thrown off television. Will Fake News NBC allow a McCarthy style Racist to continue? ABC fired Roseanne. Watch the double standard!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2019 @realDonaldTrump
Speaking of Messing ... the President has locked in on her as his punching bag regarding the blacklist accusations, instead of McCormack.
Watch the clip -- Eric might have a point about taking a Twitter break.

Hurricane Dorian Bahamas Gets Much Needed Relief ... After 'Pray for Bahamas' Post Goes Viral!!!

Hurricane Dorian's decimation of the Bahamas is igniting the generosity of the masses -- and showcasing the power of social media.
The very simple -- yet clearly effective -- "Pray for Bahamas" post spread like fire on Instagram following the Category 5 hurricane crushing the string of islands. DJ Khaled himself and "Insecure" actress Amanda Seales were among a number of celebs who reposted to their millions of followers.
It seems that's when that confounding IG algorithm got busy ... leading to a flyer posted by Smiles Trust Inc. -- a grassroots group spearheading relief efforts -- then going viral.
The org's flyer, posted Monday, listed items the island nation desperately needs. When IG users started reposting both the "Pray for Bahamas" post AND the Smiles Trust list -- the group was almost instantly inundated with TONS of donations.
Smiles Trust tells us in just 2 days ... it raised more than $34k and counting. What's more ... we're told around 2,000 of EACH item listed on the flyer came pouring into the group. Nice!!!
Smiles Trust got so much attention, we're told its website crashed on Tuesday. There are now at LEAST 50 pallets worth of supplies ready to go ... hopefully by next week.
As you know, Hurricane Dorian killed at least 20 people in the Bahamas and reduced houses, hospitals and harbors to rubble. Basic necessities like fresh water, food and medical care are almost nonexistent right now.
The group is now working on setting up 20 drop-off sites for anyone who wants to donate to the cause.

Bam Margera's sit-down with Dr. Phil proved to be even more explosive than previously believed ... and it was Bam's mom who dished some tough love.
TMZ's obtained a clip of the episode Dr. Phil shot during his one-on-one session with the "Jackass" star ... and it's pretty evident why Bam needed professional help. Bam lashed out at his wife, Nikki, and also his mom ... who participated remotely.
Watch, Bam dropped the words no mother wants to hear after she told him he's addicted to drama.

As we reported ... Bam went public with his struggles a month ago, practically begging Dr. Phil for help and the doc obliged. After this emotional 3-hour session, Dr. Phil -- who recorded without a studio audience -- convinced Bam to head to rehab.
Since then, Bam's had some hiccups on his road to recovery -- he left rehab and ended up at a bar, before giving it another shot ... at a different treatment center. His most recent attempt has gone smoother ... aside from a trip to the hospital to treat swelling in his body.
We got him out late last week -- during a lunch outing with his sponsor -- and he looked great, telling us his treatment's going well, and some special friends still have his back.

Trey Songz should NOT feel butt hurt after 50 Cent replaced Trey's track as the show's opening theme song ... so says "Power" star Larenz Tate.
We got Larenz out Monday at LAX and we wanted to get his take on the drama surrounding the theme song. ICYMI ... 50 replaced the original theme song -- "Big Rich Town" featuring Joe -- with a remix featuring Trey Songz and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie.
Long story short ... fans went absolutely berserk. Things got so heated ... thousands of fans flooded 50's Instagram page to bitch about the move and demand the rapper reverse course and switch it back to the original theme track. Comedian Affion Crockett posted a video saying, "50 you owe me $100,000 for my emotional f***ing investment. It's been five years with the [same] theme song...go back to the original f***ing song."
This season's second episode aired Sunday and fans were STILL listening the Trey Songz version. 50 took to Instagram and said, "My IG has been disabled because I’m tired of ya mouth. I don’t like the shit you been saying to me about the theme song. So I’m gone for the weekend. I’ll change it next week. Leave me alone fool."
Word.
But, check out what Larenz says ... in short, he says the backlash about Trey's track could be good for his bottom line.

Pete Davidson Catchin' Flicks w/ Margaret Qualley ... Amid Dating Rumors
Pete Davidson's bumpy week appears to be going a lot smoother now that he's out of the States and in Italy with Margaret Qualley ... whom he's supposedly dating.
The 'SNL' star was leaving a hotel in Venice Sunday night alongside Margaret -- who's there for the Venice Film Festival, which debuted her new flick, "Seberg," Friday. Pete was at the screening too -- sitting behind Margaret -- but they didn't walk the red carpet together.
Well, they weren't shy stepping out together here as rumors swirl about their relationship. Word around town is they're an item -- have been for a minute now, apparently.
Remember, Pete's last flame, Kate Beckinsale, was spotted smooching another dude way back in June. So, if these two are, in fact, dating ... it would be safe to assume things got started right around then. Whether it's stand-up woes or women ... never a dull moment.
BTW, if Margaret looks familiar to you, it's probably 'cause you've seen her in few notable things over the past couple years or so -- including a prominent role in Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time.' She's the Manson Family chick who invites Brad Pitt to the ranch.
She was also in HBO's "The Leftovers" in 2017 -- playing Justin Theroux's daughter -- and she was recently nominated for an Emmy for her role in FX's "Fosse/Verdon."
One thing's for sure ... Pete sure knows how to pick the brightest of stars. Dude's got a great track record of talent under his belt at this point.

'Beverly Hills, 90210' Cast Members Bring Back the Peach Pit ... Luke Perry Charity Event
The "Beverly Hills, 90210" reboot has been on the air for about a month now, and it looks like the big reunion is continuing off-screen with a revived pop-up from the show.
'90210' stars Brian Austin Green, Ian Ziering and Joe E. Tata were among some of the actors who showed up Friday to a Johnny Rockets in L.A. that had been transformed into the Peach Pit -- the same after-school hangout from the show, with the fictional owner to boot.
Looks like they did a pretty intricate job at reimagining the joint ... the menus were changed and everything, and even some of the grub appeared to be Peach Pit specials.
Now, the Peach Pit pop-up isn't entirely new -- the gang did the same thing earlier last month ahead of the debut of their new spin-off, 'BH90210,' which stars much of the OG cast.
This time, Brian and co. ran it back as part of a special event for a live episode of his podcast, "...with Brian Austin Green," which he recorded at Torrance High School (the filming site from way back in the '90s). The proceeds they raised this weekend was donated to charity in honor of Luke Perry -- who died this year before the new show launched.
Seems like the Peach Pit experience went off without a hitch. Here's hoping someone had a Made-to-Order-by-McKay burger to bring it all home.

Nina Dobrev The GF Diaries ... Entry 1: Backflips Off Grant
Nina Dobrev had two things on her mind while splashing around with her new(ish) boyfriend in the Pacific -- shoulder rides, and launch angles.
The former 'Vampire Diaries' star hit the beach Saturday with her man, Grant Mellon, where they got in lots of PDA, both in and out of the ocean. Nina mounted Grant's shoulders at one point, almost like they were ramping up for a game of chicken.
Turns out, Nina was actually getting ready to have her beau launch her into the air ... where she would attempt a backflip, and then land safely in the waves. Classic beach trick.
When they were back on shore, Grant and Nina showed some more traditional affection ... sharing a kiss and embracing each other for love and tenderness.
The couple has reportedly been together since at least March of this year, possibly even earlier than that. They've been spotted out together a lot over summer, including a trip to Cannes.
BTW, Nina's in this new flick called "Lucky Day" -- which drops later this month. Fitting, 'cause that's gotta be what Grant's thinkin' all the time when he's with her. That's a safe bet.

Dog The Bounty Hunter is still hurting months after losing his beloved wife -- not to mention all the other unfortunate events that happened soon after ... but he's got a plan to move forward.
We got Dog out Thursday in NYC and asked him how he's doing these days. He didn't cover up the pain ... Dog says each day is a challenge. He described how he's feeling using a 1 to 10 scale. It's a struggle, for sure.
Dog says he's relying on friends and family as he continues reeling from losing his wife, Beth Chapman to cancer back in June. Adding insult to injury ... crooks broke into Dog's shop not long after, and he suspects it's an inside job. Then there's the scam Dog nearly got wrapped up in. Yes, it's been a rough 2019.
But, there's a new case that fell on Dog's lap and he's more than ready to pounce. He says getting back in on the action will really help him grieve. Sounds like a solid plan.
