Big changes with "The White Lotus" only days into filming ... Helena Bonham Carter is OUT!!!

TMZ has confirmed Helena's departure from the show, which just started filming about a week ago in France, and her role will be rewritten and recast.

In a statement, a rep for HBO tells TMZ ... "With filming just underway on season four of The White Lotus, it had become apparent that the character which Mike White created for Helena Bonham Carter did not align once on set."

"The role has subsequently been rethought, is being rewritten and will be recast in the coming weeks. HBO, the producers and Mike White are saddened that they won’t get to work with her, but remain ardent fans and very much hope to work with the legendary actress on another project soon."

It was a dramatic day at sea for "Below Deck" when one of the show's transport vessels caught fire on the open waters ... and we have the scary footage.

Folks who were there say the boat started going up in flames Friday in Mo'orea ... an island near its more famous neighbor, Bora Bora.

The boat fire looks and sounds super frightening ... but the good news is we're told there have been no reported injuries.

"Summer House" alum Luke Gulbranson is a big believer in guy code and girl code ... telling us he doesn't approve of the way West Wilson and Amanda Batula went about getting together.

Luke joined us on the "TMZ Podcast" and we couldn't let him go without asking him about the messy love triangle.

As you know ... West used to date Amanda's costar and close friend, Ciara Miller.

Someone get Kyle Cooke a tweed cap and a magnifying glass ... because he's here to tell you who he thinks didn't leak the "Summer House" reunion audio.

He took to Instagram Friday to shine some light on the situation ... as someone who was sitting right there for the tense taping.

According to Kyle, this couldn't have been one of the stars sitting on the couches ... because their phones would have to be stuffed behind pillows or between cushions in order to not be caught by cameras.

And he says that -- based off the seating chart -- there's "just no way" the audio from the leak could've been captured by a phone on set.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Kenya Moore is packing up her hair salon and moving out after issues with her landlord, TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained photos of the salon's furniture on the street outside the location.

Kenya tells TMZ ... "I have spent the last several weeks moving out of my salon as a result of my ongoing legal battle with the landlord who has failed to reimburse me nearly $80K of improvement funds I am rightfully owed. My only recourse was to withhold rent and file a countersuit. I already have my outfit laid out for court chile!"

She goes on to thank all of her clients, and promises the beginning of a new era ... stay tuned!

Social media's speculating that West Wilson was axed for leaking that "Summer House" reunion audio ... but TMZ has debunked the rumor.

Sources tell us ... no one has been fired, as they don’t even have findings yet.

The sources tell TMZ ... "This is a full internal investigation that began only a few hours ago." They tell us it "involves multiple layers of analysis" and "nothing is completed and probably won't be complete today."

Our sources say no one is being ruled out ... with both production and cast under scrutiny. But they tell us they’re confident they’ll identify the source, and the analysis and/or findings will determine who leaked the audio.

Audio has leaked from the “Summer House” reunion … and it seems like Bravoholics are getting the showdown they’ve been waiting for between former BFFs Amanda Batula and Ciara Miller.

Fans may love the inside look at yesterday's taping ... TMZ has learned Bravo's pissed and investigating the leak.

The Reality Report posted the audio on Instagram Friday … which seems to show several cast members ripping into Amanda for sneaking around with Ciara’s ex, West Wilson.

In one slide, several cast members pile onto Amanda for not apologizing to Ciara in her joint statement with West … and accusing them of only coming clean because there was a video out there ... although it’s unclear what the alleged video actually showed.

Jinkies! Netflix released the first look at the new Mystery Incorporated gang ... and announced production is officially underway in Atlanta.

The streamer took to social media Friday to share a snap of the "Scooby-Doo: Origins" cast recreating an iconic image from the animated series.

According to Netflix ... this new adaptation is a "modern reimagining" that's "less about what you already know, and more about how it all started."

Another star of "Storage Wars" has broken their silence about the sudden death of Darrell Sheets ... and this one is quite notable.

Dave Hester posted a video tribute on Thrusday ... saying he was heartbroken to learn Darrell apparently took his own life ... and that he hopes the man is "in a better place."

Not long after we broke the news of Darrell's death ... Dave told TMZ ... he and Darrell played up their fan-favorite heated rivalry for the cameras -- but deep down, they liked one another.

It's been a wild couple of weeks for Taylor Frankie Paul ... and she's taking a step back for herself by ditching social media.

Here's the deal ... TFP's Instagram and TikTok were deleted on Wednesday ... and fans were left asking, WTF is going on, girl?!

A source close to Taylor tells TMZ ... everything is fine -- she's just taking a break from the apps amid the wild news cycle she's been starring in.

A&E will pay tribute to Darrell Sheets during this weekend's new episode of "Storage Wars" ... TMZ has learned.

A network source tells TMZ ... the show is currently in the middle of Season 17, with a new episode set to air Saturday, April 25. While Darrell does not appear in the current season, the network plans to honor him with an in-memoriam card during the broadcast.

Leading up to the episode, A&E will also air a marathon of "Storage Wars" from 1 PM to 9 PM, of classic episodes featuring Darrell.

The upcoming season of "Deadliest Catch" will address the death of rookie deckhand Todd Meadows ... but audiences won't see footage from the tragic incident at sea.

Discovery says the series premiere will feature a tribute to Todd -- who died in February while working on the Aleutian Lady -- plus other segments highlighting how his death impacted the crew and the broader fishing community.

The network says Todd will show up in later episodes too.

It's another sad day for '90s kids. Just like the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" reboot, the new "Clueless" series has been canned ... but there is light at the end of the tunnel for Cher.

Insiders tell TMZ ... Peacock has decided not to move forward with development of the series based on the beloved 1990s flick starring Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, and the late Brittany Murphy.

But, we hear that does not mean the series is dead -- it will continue to be developed while it's shopped around by CBS Studios -- the IP being a Paramount property. Silverstone was attached to reprise her iconic character, Cher.

The "Summer House" reunion is currently filming in NYC, and the seating chart is already telling a story.

Bravo spilled on where everyone's sitting for the Season 10 reunion with head honcho Andy Cohen in the middle, flanked by Ciara Miller and Amanda Batula ... putting the Amanda/West Wilson front and center.

And yeah, the sides are pretty clear. Ciara's wing includes Amanda's ex, Kyle Cooke ... plus Lindsay Hubbard and more ... while Amanda's posted up with West (bold move), alongside Carl Radke and her crew.

As we reported ... Amanda and West confirmed last month their longtime friendship turned romantic, but the timing raised eyebrows given their recent ties within the group.

Snooki is getting brutally honest about her health scare ... admitting she was “terrified” after learning she had stage one cervical cancer and now needs a hysterectomy to keep it from coming back.

The "Jersey Shore" alum opened up in an emotional Thursday interview with ABC News’ Lara Spencer … revealing the diagnosis sent her into full panic mode.

“I was terrified,” Snooki said. “I was hysterically crying in my car -- like what am I gonna do? I have three kids. I gotta do my will. I haven't done my will yet.” She added she immediately started spiraling over worst-case scenarios involving her family.

Watch the video ... the reality TV star also admitted she ignored repeated reminders from her doctor to come in for follow-up appointments ... and now wishes she hadn’t brushed them off.

"Storage Wars" star Brandi Passante is honoring Darrell Sheets after his shocking suicide ... saying she's at a "loss for words" in an emotional Instagram post.

She reacted to the heartbreaking news of the A&E star's death Wednesday, saying her heart hurts for his loved ones ... and urged people who are struggling to get help.

She pleaded, in part, "I would like to say to everyone, if you are struggling, if you feel hopeless or like no one cares. I assure you they do!! You are not alone. Please reach out for help." Brandi's emotional message was paired with a selfie with Darrell as well as BTS images of them together.
