Casting for the next 'Bachelor' is in overdrive ... and among the men under consideration to be the next face of the franchise are contestants from Taylor Frankie Paul's shelved 'Bachelorette' season.

A source with knowledge tells TMZ ... an undisclosed number of guys from TFP's run are definitely being eyed ... and dual auditions are ongoing for both the next leading man -- and his group of would-be singles. The hunt for the next 'Bachelor' leading lad kicked off a few weeks ago.

A production source tells us ... shooting "The Bachelor" Season 30 may be pushed until next Janurary -- it usually shoots in the fall, but nothing is set in stone. Even if production is pushed ... we're told the show is still expected to premiere in early 2027, as previously announced.

Amanda Batula and West Wilson are getting the hell out of the U.S. ... just as the "Summer House" reunion is about to air.

The scandalized reality stars were spotted at the airport hopping on a flight to Italy ... just before part 1 of the reunion hits Bravo. TMZ has confirmed with sources close to the couple that Amanda is his plus-1 to his cousin's wedding abroad.

As we previously reported, leaked audio from the taping seems to show the 3-part reunion is going to be an explosive one ... with the cast turning on Amanda and West.

Farrah Abraham was flying the stars and stripes for Memorial Day ... and doing it in her signature fashion -- poolside in a tiny American flag bikini!

Check out these scorching snaps from Monday ... the former "Teen Mom" star looked fully locked into holiday mode while rocking a barely-there two-piece.

If there’s one thing Farrah’s gonna do, it’s commit to the bit -- she was serving confidence from every angle and making sure the camera caught all of it.

Kevin Hart is in Tony Hinchcliffe's corner after the controversial comic was blasted for a George Floyd "joke" many believe to be racist during Kevin's roast ... and he wants people to quit beating him up for Tony's punchline.

As you know ... Hinchcliffe was torn apart by some comics and the family of George Floyd after he made a tasteless joke about Floyd, as well as quips about lynching and the suicide of comedian Sheryl Underwood's late husband.

Kevin disagrees with the haters, telling "The Breakfast Club" ... Tony is not a racist, and he was fine with the Floyd line in the context of a roast.

Maybe Mormon wives aren't the only ones with secret lives ... because Marciano Brunette was spotted partying with a group of mystery blondes in Las Vegas just one day before walking the AMAs red carpet with Jessi Draper.

TMZ obtained video of the "Vanderpump Villa" star at Omnia Day Club on Saturday during DJ Tiësto's residency set ... and witnesses tell us Marciano was flying solo while getting pretty cozy with several blonde women.

A witness tells us Jessi was nowhere in sight as Marciano spent the afternoon chatting up girls at the packed Sin City hotspot.

Lisa Rinna has nothing against Spencer Pratt ... but she sure as hell does not want him to be the next mayor of Los Angeles.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star was asked what she thinks of SP while walking the carpet for Monday night's American Music Awards -- and she gave an honest assessment.

Watch the video for her full explanation ... but basically, she thinks no reality star should be in a top government position -- she even alludes to Trump and issues and blowback he's faced in his two terms.

Amanda Conner -- the wife of "Teen Mom" star Ryan Edwards -- has been arrested ... TMZ has confirmed.

A spokesperson for the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office Jail in Tennessee tells TMZ ... Conner was arrested Sunday morning near Chattanooga and booked on a charge of driving under the influence and child abuse/neglect.

We're told there's also a charge for driving on the wrong side of the road.

Conner's bond was set at $16K ... and, at the time of publishing, it appears she has not yet bonded out.

Brooks Nader and Livvy Dunne are turning up the heat on the "Baywatch" reboot ... because the first teaser is packed with barely-there red swimsuits, struts, and enough beach body eye candy to make Pamela Anderson proud.

The first footage dropped Saturday ... showing Brooks owning the dock in the franchise's iconic red one-piece while Livvy suits up for her acting debut in matching lifeguard gear.

Stephen Amell also gets his full "Baywatch" fantasy sequence ... sprinting shirtless across the sand with a rescue buoy in hand.

Brandi Glanville didn't get any sexual healing from her last dude ... more like a sexual itching -- because she thinks he gave her ringworm with his you-know-what.

The reality star spoke with prolific former pornstar Lisa Ann on the most recent episode of her podcast "Brandi Glanville Unfiltered with James Maas" ... and she asked Lisa if she knew anything about "sexually transmitted ringworm."

Lisa says it's a huge problem in the industry because it's so contagious ... and asks how Brandi thinks she got it.

Grizz Chapman, the actor best known for his work on "30 Rock," died yesterday ... and now we're learning a little more about what led up to his passing.

Renee Glicker, Chapman's manager, tells TMZ ... the beloved film and TV actor has been suffering from an assortment of medical conditions in the past few years ... and was "just struggling to stay alive."

Chapman received a kidney transplant in July 2010 ... and Renee said he needed another transplant ... but given his enormous size -- he stood 7-feet tall -- finding a match again was difficult.

Grizz Chapman, the actor best known for his work on the classic sitcom "30 Rock," has died.

President Trump continues to celebrate the end of "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" ... and his latest message is a doozy.

DT just shared an A.I. video on social media of himself tossing the talk show host into a dumpster ... and then dancing to his beloved "Y.M.C.A."

As you know ... Colbert had his final show last night after CBS pulled the plug on the long-running staple -- a move brass said was a financial decision, but plenty think it was political due to SC making Trump a routine target.

Dorit Kemsley's not denying she's doled out beaucoup bucks on designer clothes ... saying she likes to spend her money on fashion after her ex PK Kemsley accused her of spending $1 million on luxury items.

Kemsley told Extra there are two sides to every story ... and while she says she can't talk to the press about the specifics of her case while it's still pending, she admits she likes fashionable clothes and she spends "a lot" of money on fashion -- because it's her money, and she can do what she wants with it.
