Gina Carano may still feel a certain way about getting canned from "The Mandalorian" ... she told us she couldn't think of one actor from the entire Lucas universe who could take a fight.

We caught up with Carano Tuesday outside of the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, where she was holding a press conference with Ronda Rousey to promote their May 16 MMA bout.

Seeing as how Gina is an actress and an MMA icon, we asked her if there are any actors associated with 'Star Wars,' or the spinoffs, that she thinks could last in the octagon ... And she couldn't name one!

Can you guess which Hollywood hottie put her ab crack on blast in this eye-popping party suit?

Okay, she's not actually from Hollywood -- she grew up in London -- but she's always hustling and bustling in Los Angeles. You may recall her voice on Netflix's "Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight."

Kelly Clarkson may have been the OG talent champ -- winning the very first season of "American Idol" back in 2002 -- but here’s the twist ... she says she never actually got the prizes!

The singer dished all on the show's misleading prize claims when "The Traitors" S4 winner Rob Rausch revealed on her talk show he still hadn't received his prize money -- saying she totally relates ... 'cause she's still waiting on the car she was promised.

Kelly explained the show loved bragging the winner would walk away with $1 million -- but according to her, that wasn’t the reality ... claiming the "million" actually meant $1M worth of investment in you -- which in her case was a recording contract with RCA Records.

Demi Engemann may only be a "friend of" the cast in season 4 of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" ... but TMZ has learned she filmed far more than a typical part-time player.

Sources close to production tell us the exiled cast member's role goes well beyond the usual drop-in appearances. We're told Demi was mic'd up for multiple events and logged significant camera time before her involvement eventually tapered off.

Demi starred in the first two seasons before being iced out of the "MomTok" circle after her friendship with costar Jessi Draper imploded. The rift followed a "Vanderpump Villa" crossover, where rumors swirled that both women were involved with 'VV' star Marciano Brunette while in relationships. Demi denied an affair, while Jessi admitted to hers -- fueling much of season 3's drama.

She later made a few intense cameos in Season 3, sparking speculation she'd return in a bigger way ... possibly leaning into a villain arc. Our sources say she’ll be popping up again this season ... just not in a full-time capacity.

As we first reported ... Marciano filed a lawsuit claiming Demi spread defamatory information about their alleged relationship. Demi has asked a judge to dismiss the case, arguing it was filed "solely to gain media attention."

Season 4 premieres March 12, and with Demi back in the mix, even in a limited role, the MomTok drama looks far from over.

Spare a thought for Sterling K. Brown’s wife Ryan Michelle Bathe -- who had to sit through her husband absolutely fanboying over Michelle Obama for the second time ... with the former First Lady sitting right there!

Sterling and Ryan were on Michelle and Craig Robinson’s "IMO podcast" when he launched into the story of boldly asking Michelle for a hug years ago at an event while filming "Army Wives" -- and honestly, the whole thing sounded more like a spiritual awakening rather than a casual greeting

According to Sterling, Michelle fully "locked into him" during the hug while he squeezed so hard his guns fully popped out -- an experience that made him feel totally "loved and seen."

Taylor Hale -- the first Black woman to win "Big Brother" -- is taking back power over her image ... and she's doing it in the sexiest way possible!

After nude images of the 'BB' winner were released online without her permission, Taylor is leaning into the skid and taking back the reins with a scalding-hot Playboy shoot. You want nudes? Ok ... but now it's on her terms.

Check out the pics ... the reality star absolutely sizzles as Playboy's 2026 Miss March. She teases fans, covering her bare breasts in one pic, while showing off her shapely bum in another ... seriously, she's a complete smoke show, and she said it's because this time, she had a say.

Jenelle Evans is preparing to visit her son, Jace, at the mental health facility where he's currently receiving treatment, but the trip hasn't happened just yet ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Jenelle has not visited Jace in person since he entered the facility. However, she's planning a trip to the Carolinas for spring break with all of her children and intends to see Jace while she's there.

We're told Jenelle, who lives in Las Vegas, has been staying in close contact with Jace. Meanwhile, her mom, Barbara Evans -- who Jace has been living with -- has been visiting him regularly at the facility.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Kandi Burruss and her estranged husband, Todd Tucker’s business was ordered to cough up $140,000 to their former landlord based on a settlement they reached over the debt ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, the former couple’s company, Burruss Tucker Restaurant Group, settled claims over the lease and agreed to pay the landlord $140,509.10 for rent and remediation costs for their restaurant, Blaze Steak & Seafood.

Kandi and Todd’s business had been battling the landlord in court for over a year. The landlord initially claimed Burruss Tucker owed over $200k in back rent and repairs.

“The princess is in the building!” -- the iconic line that introduced this OG influencer to TV audiences back in 2007 ... Can you guess who she is?!

Candace Cameron Bure accidentally found herself taking a walk on the wild side, according to the latest episode of her podcast. The actress confessed to attending a sex party with her husband!

On Tuesday's "The Candace Cameron Bure Podcast," the "Full House" alum and devout Christian revealed she and her husband, Valeri Bure, innocently accepted a friend's invite to an event that ended up being an "S&M sex thing" so "dark and demonic" that the couple had to get up and skedaddle.

Bure told 'Bachelor' alum Madi Prewett, "We walked in and my eyeballs were popping out of my head because I saw stuff I've never seen before in my life."

Joshua Jackson has broken his silence on James Van Der Beek's death nearly 1 month after he died from cancer at age 48.

The actor appeared on "TODAY" Tuesday morning and said his "Dawson's Creek" costar's death hits harder because he's also a father. He explains ..."I think the enormity of that tragedy for his family hits me in a very different way than just as a colleague. So I think the processing is is ongoing."

He also said that both he and James looked at their formative time on the hit TV series together with "fondness" but noted James accomplished so much more during his decades-long career as an actor, as well as being a dedicated husband and father ... it's all in the clip.

Kathie Lee Gifford, who formerly co-hosted the fourth hour of "TODAY" for 11 years, suggested she'd get back in the saddle in a heartbeat if the show needed her amid Savannah Guthrie being off the air.

We caught up with the TV legend in NYC on Monday amid Savannah's absence due to the tragic kidnapping of her mom.

Even in the middle of the nightmare, Savannah managed a few smiles ... doing her best to carry on after briefly returning to the "TODAY" studio last Thursday for an emotional visit.

Mary Cosby's son, Robert Cosby Jr., was laid to rest over the weekend following his sudden death, but the cameras were not rolling ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" tell TMZ ... the funeral services held over the weekend in Utah were not filmed for the show's upcoming Season 7. We're told several producers from the series attended the service to pay their respects, though.

The support from the 'RHOSLC' family was strong. Lisa Barlow, Meredith Marks, Heather Gay, Whitney Rose, Bronwyn Newport, Angie Katsanevas, and Britani Bateman all showed up for Mary during the difficult time.

Andy Cohen confirmed on SiriusXM Monday the funeral services were held Saturday and noted in addition to the cast, there were also some notable Bravoleb cameos -- Kyle Richards, Cynthia Bailey, and Shereé Whitfield attended as well. Andy called them "real ones."
