Here's Livvy Dunne and a shirtless Noah Beck getting flirty and handsy, filming a sexy car wash scene for the "Baywatch" reboot.

TMZ obtained video and photos from the shoot, and you see Livvy sliding down the hood of a lifeguard truck and grabbing onto Noah's shoulders ... as he holds her and she washes his washboard abs.

Livvy gets off Noah's back and takes a rag to his chest again, then flicks some soapy water on him ... and another actress slaps Noah's butt with a towel.

Taylor Frankie Paul was the aggressor in her 2023 fight with Dakota Mortensen ... at least according to her.

The 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' star was quick to admit her role in the violent exchange ... because we found an old podcast clip from 2023 where she told Avery Woods she attacked first.

Taylor admits to throwing a chair at Dakota, and she says one of her kids was in the room ... though she claims she didn't know at the time her child was there.

We obtained video of the fight, and a few hours after we published it, ABC pulled the plug on Taylor's upcoming season of "The Bachelorette."

Taylor Frankie Paul's season of "The Bachelorette" is officially dead on arrival ... but her costars might still get their big break on "Bachelor in Paradise."

Here's the deal ... TMZ has learned an emergency virtual meeting was held with all 22 'Bachelorette' contestants Thursday -- and, sources on the call tell us the team behind the show placated the cast amid the ongoing drama surrounding the show's leading lady.

Our sources say the contracts all the dudes signed are fully in effect for one year ... and, they were warned not to speak to the press while under contract.

Doug Mason -- one of Taylor Frankie Paul's suitors on her season of "The Bachelorette" -- is supporting her after TMZ published footage of her physically assaulting her ex, and the season's subsequent cancellation.

Doug hopped on Instagram Friday morning ... sharing a short clip in which he rallied behind Taylor by offering her prayers, adding ... "That was her moment and her moment was blocked."

He also told fans ... "All we can do right now is be hopeful."

Joshua Allen -- the winner of "So You Think You Can Dance" Season 4 -- was struck and killed by a train in Texas last year ... and we now know that the medical examiner determined he intentionally ended his own life.

According to records obtained by TMZ ... Allen died of blunt force injuries ... and his death was ruled a suicide by the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office.

Following his death, family and friends told TMZ that Allen was a wonderful person ... and they shared some insight into their final conversations ... "One of the last things he said was to keep God first at all times. You have to be real with yourself before you can be real with anybody else."

Before this cute kiddo in his cowboy costume turned into a reality TV star, he was just growing up in sunny L.A. with his sisters, and running circles around his track opponents ...

He has a line of socks, and his sense of humor rocks! He may not appear on your screens as much, but you've definitely kept up with his siblings ...

Grant Ellis says ABC absolutely did the right thing by pulling the plug on Taylor Frankie Paul as "The Bachelorette" ... telling us they needed to take a stand against domestic violence.

We got the former 'Bachelor' in Beverly Hills on Thursday and our photog asked him about ABC canceling Taylor after we first published a video of her getting violent with her baby daddy.

The way Grant sees it ... if ABC didn't pull the show, which was set to debut Sunday, they would have left it open to interpretation whether they cared about domestic abuse or not.

TMZ has learned ABC is pulling the plug on Taylor Frankie Paul's season of "The Bachelorette" amid fresh claims of domestic abuse, and the 2023 video of her fighting with her baby daddy.

A Disney Entertainment spokesperson tells us ... “In light of the newly released video just surfaced today, we have made the decision to not move forward with the new season of 'The Bachelorette' at this time, and our focus is on supporting the family.”

The network dropped the hammer Thursday on the upcoming season of the reality TV dating show ... only hours after TMZ published video of Taylor's brutal 2023 fight with Dakota Mortensen.

A source connected to "The Bachelorette" tells us no one at ABC had seen the video before TMZ posted it Thursday morning.

As we first reported, Taylor and Dakota have been ordered to undergo psych exams amid a fresh batch of spousal abuse claims ... and the Utah Division of Children and Family Services is investigating ongoing allegations of violence between them.

The newest season of "The Bachelorette" is toast, and ABC is turning to one of its other staples to fill the time slot after Taylor Frankie Paul's crash out ... at least for this Sunday.

Our sources confirmed a rerun of "American Idol" will play in place of "The Bachelorette" on March 22, but that's just the plan for this week. We're told the network brass hasn't yet figured out a permanent replacement for the remainder of the canned season.

TMZ broke the news ... Taylor's 'Bachelorette' season was canceled hours after we posted the 2023 video of her fighting with her baby daddy, Dakota Mortensen.

Holly Madison looks like she's ready for a ride ... in that hot red hot rod, that is!

Now that the girl next door's got you all red hot ... cool off with our puzzle game -- a Playboy-themed word find!

ABC and Warner Bros. Discovery are in meltdown, as a tidal wave of ripple effects from the cancellation of "The Bachelorette" is already being realized.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... the show costs around $2 million an episode to produce, and there's already finger-pointing and, we're told, shouting over who's to blame and who should shoulder the costs.

We're told only one of the episodes -- the one that was supposed to air Sunday night -- is in the can. Three more are in the process of being edited, and the remainder pretty much haven't been touched.

Taylor Frankie Paul is speaking out after ABC pulled the plug on her season of "The Bachelorette" ... she promises she'll tell her side of the story amid the ongoing and escalating drama -- and appears to take a dig at her ex.

A spokesperson for Taylor tells TMZ ... "Taylor is very grateful for ABC’s support as she prioritizes her family’s safety and security."

They continued ... "After years of silently suffering extensive mental and physical abuse as well as threats of retaliation, Taylor is finally gaining the strength to face her accuser and taking steps to ensure that she and her children are protected from any further harm."

Ketamine and "The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives" don't mix ... at least according to star Demi Engemann, who said ketamine treatment put her in a headspace particularly unsuitable for the reality show.

In an interview on the "Disgraceful with Grace O'Malley" podcast, Demi was very positive about her experience with ketamine ... but she says it left her too exposed to the toxicity of the show.

She said, "What people don't realize is that when you're going through ketamine treatments, it makes your brain extremely raw. A lot is coming up from your past -- a lot of trauma is coming up."

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Taylor Frankie Paul backed out of a scheduled appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," opting to come back another day ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... in light of everything that's happened Taylor's appearance is being rescheduled.

Additional sources familiar with the situation say Taylor had done upwards of 10 interviews earlier that day and was exhausted, so it was mutually decided that they would reschedule the appearance for a future date.

Jordan Wright -- who starred in the British reality TV show "The Only Way Is Essex" -- was found dead in Thailand on March 14.

According to Daily Mail, Wright's body was recovered from a drainage canal where he was found face-down in the stagnant water of a drainage canal.

The publication reports Wright was wearing black pants and a gray T-shirt, but was barefoot. And he'd already made plans to leave soon.
