Kordell Beckham -- one of the Season 6 "Love Island USA" winners -- is taking his newfound fame from love on the beach to lust for the big screen … and he drops the names of whose cast list he wants to be on!!!

TMZ caught up with Cosmopolitan cover model coming out of his Hollywood acting class, and he gives us the rundown on what he’s been up to since successfully leaving the villa with love … and he reveals to us he’s got some "big news" coming out REAL soon.

The ex-islander tells us how he's diving into the world of acting, taking classes for about a month now and even catching some auditions. He then blushes while showing us the notebook he brings to class that belongs to boo and fellow winner Serena Page for support.

Gerry Turner’s shutting down all those "Bachelor in Paradise" rumors -- telling TMZ he’s not about to swap his suit for swim trunks and hit the sands of Mexico anytime soon!

"The Golden Bachelor" star tells TMZ he turned down the offer 3 weeks ago when producers reached out to have him join the "Bachelor in Paradise" mix, which is throwing in some of their 'Golden' contestants alongside the usual beachy bunch for the first time.

Gerry’s main reason for passing is that he's basically been there, done that -- he tells us he already knows the women heading to 'BIP' and he's already established there's no romantic spark there.

Fans hoping to catch some Major League Baseball Opening Day action were unfortunately striking out ... as the league's streaming service stopped working as the season got underway -- and fans were pissed!!!

Social media was flooded with people voicing their displeasure with MLB.TV and its rough start out of the gates ... with some being met with playback errors and never-ending loading screens.

As of 1:04 PST ... Downdetector.com reported 21,000 outages. MLB.TV is no stranger to hiccups, with the app having a history of complaints from fans of America's pastime. Those issues have ranged from people calling out the service interface to the blackout restrictions that come with it.

North West’s rap career under Kanye’s watch might be a wrap, if momma Kim Kardashian has her way -- but no stress, ‘cause FKA twigs is stepping in to hype up the mini mogul!

The singer just dropped her new music video for "Childlike Things," and none other than North West herself is stealing the spotlight, showing off some skills with a short rap ... in Japanese.

Not entirely clear why North chose the language for her rap, but we'd guess her dad's Tokyo vibe is rubbing off on her -- TMZ reported earlier this week that the city is Kanye's happy place, where he’s been decompressing after a recent stint of unhinged online rants.

Kim Kardashian just took a wild trip down memory lane -- literally -- recalling a past drug run incident and how, in a way, it ties into her lifelong passion for prison reform.

In the latest episode of "The Kardashians," Kim sat down with a group of incarcerated men during a Sacramento prison visit -- where she recalled the time teen Kim got talked into picking up ecstasy from an apartment ... and thinking back on it has her freaking out, thinking about how it could have gone south.

However, Kim admitted that if she had gotten caught, she knew her attorney dad, Robert Kardashian, would’ve had her back in a heartbeat -- but for the men sitting with her, that kind of safety net never existed.

Josh Peck has shared more insight as to why he excluded the "Drake & Josh" cast from his 2017 wedding ... and it has nothing to do with his formerly distant relationship with his costar Drake Bell.

Drake joined Josh for a two-part reunion on his "Good Guys" podcast this week ... and in  Thursday's release, Josh admits he wanted to completely "leave it all behind" because he felt like the show "didn't serve" him anymore.

Josh was 30 when he walked down the aisle with Paige O'Brien ... but now, at 38, he says he realized he would have invited so many more people, including Drake and their costar Miranda Cosgrove, who played their menacing little sister on the hit show.

Jake Paul and Jutta Leerdam made their first public appearance as an engaged couple on Wednesday ... and they put the Olympic speed skater's massive new accessory on full display.

The lovebirds hit the premiere for their new Max Original show, "Paul American," just now ... electing for all-black outfits after rocking white ensembles for the proposal in Saint Lucia.

Jake and Jutta also did some prom-esque poses ... proving they don't mind getting all mushy for the cameras (something they're used to at this point).

Joe Gatto's seeking professional help in the aftermath of several women blasting him for alleged inappropriate behavior ... announcing he plans to enter an in-patient treatment facility.

In a statement obtained by TMZ ... Joe's letting fans know he's entering the facility to continue working on himself -- sending his thanks to friends, family and more.

It's unclear what he plans to address with the treatment ... but, it seems Gatto feels he needs individual care to help him during this difficult time.

Jax Taylor's opening up about hitting rock bottom amid his marriage troubles with Brittany Cartwright ... revealing just how deep his cocaine addiction really went.

JT explained he hit rock bottom in early 2024 when Brittany left him, spending months alone in his house, drinking heavily and "doing enough cocaine to kill a small horse."

Jax's addiction clearly took over at the time -- 'cause he told US Weekly he wasn't even eating, he was just spiraling into a depression with the devil on his shoulder making him feel like he'd lost everything.

Zak Bagans and Holly Madison are breaking up again ... ending their on-and-off romance after six years.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... the two ended their relationship a few weeks ago -- though it's not currently clear what caused the split. The two have unfollowed each other on Instagram as well, so it doesn't seem totally amicable from the outside.

However, we reached out to Bagans, and it seems the couple ended on good terms ... 'cause ZB says, "I wont get into the details, but I’ll just say we have shared so many great memories and fun times. I’ll always have love in my heart for her and wish the very best for her. I’m dating now and moving on.”

Jenna Ortega's promotion for her new flick's a real pain in the behind ... literally, in fact, because a dress she wore for an interview included glass poking her booty!

The actress stopped by "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" Tuesday night to discuss her new movie "Death of a Unicorn," as well as Season 2 of the hit show "Wednesday" ... and, she showed up in a fiery red gown covered in shiny material.

Turns out red glass gave the dress its shine ... which ain't the most comfortable material to turn into haute couture.

Kyle Richards had a lot to answer for on the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' reunion ... including speculation she was banging another woman after separating from her husband.

Kyle's confronted about rumors she and Morgan were hooking up ... which she's never confirmed ... and she's also asked point blank about the music video she filmed with Morgan.

"Bluey" might’ve already conquered the U.S. as the No. 1 most streamed series for 2024, but now its upcoming movie could be making a run for awards season, says one of its voice actors, Melanie Zanetti.

We caught up with Melanie on TMZ's "Big Down Under" podcast, and when we asked if she thinks the Bluey movie, set for release in '27, could snag an Oscar for Best Animated Feature, she basically said she and the team are down for whatever success comes their way.

As of now, it’s looking like the Bluey movie’s getting the full A-list Hollywood treatment, with Melanie going full top-secret mode, saying she can’t spill too much just yet.

The new Karen Read documentary series -- giving a BTS look at her first trial and her preparation for the retrial in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O'Keefe -- is blowing up ... but TMZ’s learned they won’t be rolling the cameras for her upcoming retrial.

Director Terry Dunn-Meurer tells TMZ ... "Karen approached us with a compelling desire to share her story, and we believe we captured it thoroughly in 'A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read.' While the second trial will undoubtedly introduce new evidence and fresh faces -- including a new prosecutor and three additional defense attorneys -- the essence of Karen's story remains the same. Therefore, we currently have no plans to film another documentary covering the same ground."

The ID team stopped filming with Karen a few days after the first trial wrapped last summer, catching the aftermath, and then they did follow-ups in August ... but none of those included Karen -- and that's the extent of it.
