Mel Owens is trying to make up for his insensitive comments about age as filming for "The Golden Bachelor" Season 2 gets underway ... revealing he apologized to all the ladies on the first night of shooting.

The reality TV star spoke to Glamour for an interview published Friday about a comment he made on a podcast in June, when he said he preferred to date a woman between the ages of 45 and 60 ... and, he said he told producers to "try to stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs, you know, that kind of stuff.”

The interview sent fans into a frenzy, and they called for his firing from the show ... which tipped Owens off to the fact that he'd said something wrong -- 'cause he admits until a respected colleague called him on the comments, he didn't see the big deal.

Michelle Obama thinks Stephen A. Smith and Andy Cohen have a lot in common, at least when it comes to their day jobs ... 'cause the former First Lady says ESPN programs are just like the 'Real Housewives' shows -- a bunch of yelling.

Michelle shared her own first take on her 'IMO' podcast with her brother, Craig Robinson, this week ... claiming she's had to defend her entertainment preferences against Barack and other family members.

Michelle explained her bro and Barry O. believe sports content reigns supreme over her beloved reality TV shows ... but when she tunes in to what's going on over at ESPN, it's the same product -- just a different topic.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris shared a shocking explanation as to why she doesn't plan on running for an elected position anytime soon ... revealing she believes U.S. democracy is a "broken system."

KH freely divulged her opinion on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" Thursday night, explaining ... "I always believed that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles. And I think right now that they’re not as strong as they need to be."

She didn't say she's getting out of politics altogether -- she told the late-night host she plans to "travel the country" to meet and listen to people ... without asking for their vote in return.

We caught up with the reality television star while workers were literally taking his name off the establishment ... and, we asked him about how he feels to be giving the place up.

Jax says they had a great run ... but, he ultimately thinks he can't get to where he wants to go and hold on to the bar -- though he says he may want to host a few events there in the future when he does get his mind right, since his business partner Leo plans to keep the bar open ... under a new name.

Tyra confessed it’s pretty much an addiction -- 'cause she's also all about staring down anyone with a pimple, practically itching to get her hands on it.

Yep, the duo dropped a joint IG video Wednesday showing Hilaria getting her groove on, tossing her leg in Alec’s lap, then thrusting both feet up to his chest, boldly demanding a foot massage.

What made it even better? She was dancing to Celine Dion’s "The Power of Love," really leaning into those lyrics, "I'm your lady and you are my man," as she practically ordered him to go to town on her feet.

Neal McDonough says he "lost everything" after being blacklisted from Hollywood -- all because he refused to kiss another woman on screen!

The "Yellowstone" actor discussed the low point in his life in the exclusive preview clip of Wednesday's "Nothing Left Unsaid" podcast obtained by TMZ ... and he says not only did he lose material things, he lost his confidence as well.

Neil tells hosts Tim Green and Troy Green his work ran dry for about 2 years because Hollywood wouldn't accept his boundary ... and the deep plunge in his career took him on a "tailspin."

He says he took up drinking and lost his identity before his wife, Ruve McDonough, helped him find his way out of the dumps. In the preview clip, he doesn't specify when he went through his rough times.

Times have changed ... and he even released a new project in May -- "The Last Rodeo" --  that sees him kissing a woman onscreen. How did he move past the hurdle? His real-life partner jumped in to play his wife!

Dean made the allegation in a Variety interview ... but kept it vague -- not naming the person he alleges harassed him -- and he declined to reveal further details.

"Love Island USA" star JaNa Craig's friend hinted at some uncomfortable background involving her "terrible, disgusting and disappointing" split from Kenny Rodriguez -- and it's not a good look for him.

JaNa's close friend Charmane Smith alleged Kenny was in the relationship for all the wrong reasons -- and lied about everything -- as she warned followers to check their partners' text messages in a since-deleted post to her Instagram Story Tuesday night.

She cautioned ... "My advice for women in relationships: if you have access – go thru [sic] your man’s phone TODAY. Search keywords like 'I don’t like black women, I thought I would get more money from this, I’m faking this relationship, going on the show would be for clout, I can’t wait to be done w this so I can f**k hella b*tches." She has since gone private on Instagram following the head-turning post.
