Gossip / Rumors

"The Real Housewives of Toronto" producers allegedly dumped one of their cast members when her pregnancy didn't jibe with their shooting schedule.

Ariane Bellamar -- who's already been on TV as one of the "Beverly Hills Nannies" -- is nearly 9 months along and says the show was excited to have her child birth as a story line for Season 1 of the Canadian spinoff.

That all changed on Friday when her c-section date shifted by a week and ended up conflicting with an all-cast retreat. Ariane says that same day, she got a letter of termination.

Ariane is pissed -- not only about getting dropped -- but about a bunch of risky things she claims producers asked her to do during shoots. You've gotta see her "pump and dump" accusation.

We've reached out multiple times to the show's producers, so far no word back.

Jon Jones says he's NOT A CHEATER -- and says he still believes he can clear his good name.

Of course, Jon was yanked from UFC 200 after he tested positive for 2 banned estrogen blockers -- which are typically used in tandem with certain performance-enhancing drugs to limit side effects.

He has been temporarily suspended from fighting in Nevada -- and a hearing is expected for later this year.

But Monday afternoon, Jon went to Twitter to plead his innocence.

"Don't write me off just yet, I know in my heart that I'm not a cheater," Jones said.

"I trust in the system to help me prove it."

NeNe Leakes' streak on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" is finally coming to an end ... at least based on what's NOT been going on during season 9 tapings.

TMZ has learned they've been shooting for weeks now, and NeNe is nowhere in sight.

It seemed like she was possibly coming back to the main cast after being named a guest last season. She's been busy with a HSN clothing line, one woman tour, new game show and a stint on "Fashion Police."

Our 'RHOA' sources tell us producers have added at least one new cast member, and NeNe -- the only remaining OG ATL housewife -- doesn't look to be part of plans going forward.

We're told "guest appearances" are always a possibility, but as of now producers aren't counting on having NeNe.

We suspect Kim Zolciak might have 2 little words for her ole frenemy ...

Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne are together again ... or so it seems.

Sharon and Ozzy went out for a stroll over the weekend in L.A. Last time we saw them together she was sporting a wide grin at one of his concerts in the U.K.

That smile could've been about business -- she's still his manager -- but this time there's no music, and for what it's worth ... Sharon continues to smile.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck announced their split in June 2015, yet they haven't moved an inch in ending their marriage ... sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ.

Divorce papers have not been filed, and we're told neither side has taken any steps to dissolve the marriage.

Ben has been living on the family property since the split, in the guest house.

It's unusual for a couple to announce the end of their marriage yet take no action for more than a year ... and still live within eyeshot of each other.

We're told the inaction is largely about protecting their kids and creating a structure for co-parenting 10-year-old Violet, 7-year-old Seraphina and 4-year-old Samuel.

Our sources say this is not an issue of reconciliation ... although no one's saying that's impossible. As one source put it, "It's just been status quo. Nothing's changed."

Conor McGregor's on the fast track to ANOTHER ass whoopin' ... so says Urijah Faber who tells TMZ Sports the Irish superstar just doesn't have what it takes to beat Nate Diaz.

Faber tried to help Conor prepare for his last fight against Diaz, but his advice fell upon deaf ears.

Now, Urijah says ... despite all of the positive things Conor has going for him -- like toughness and skill -- a victory in the rematch is simply out of the question.

By the way, we also asked 37-year-old Urijah if he was planning on retiring any time soon ... check out what he says.

January Gessert, best known for allegedly being "the other woman" who triggered Kim Kardashian's breakup with Reggie Bush, is getting a shot at another 15 minutes.

Eve is still talking the talk all Ruff Ryders fans wanna hear -- saying she WILL rejoin her crew, but there's something she's NOT saying that's less encouraging.

You'll recall, Eve told TMZ back in 2012 she was down to get back together with DMX and co -- and yet, here we are 4 years later and still no reunion. We got Eve in NYC and asked what's cooking?

Check out her answer ... she's keeping it positive.

But she didn't mention her billionaire husband Maximillion Cooper, who she married in 2014, and lives with in England ... when they're not traveling the world, that is. We're not saying Eve's got better things to do now.

We're just sayin' ...

Sorry, Trump ... Tim Tebow will NOT be joining Dana White as a celebrity guest speaker at the Republican National Convention next week ... calling the whole thing a silly "rumor."

FYI, Tebow's name was on a roster of RNC speakers obtained by the New York Times -- a roster that included Dana White (who confirmed he is speaking) but the QB made a video saying the whole thing is BS.

"It's amazing how fast rumors fly ... and that's exactly what it is ... a rumor."

Tebow then says he has no plans to run for a political office ... at the moment ... but doesn't close the door on plans to get in the game somewhere down the line.

In fact, the rest of his video sounds like a political speech!!!

The Kardashians need to seal their beesting lips, and if they won't a judge will seal them for the girls ... at least that's the goal in a new lawsuit against the brood.

Haven Beauty is outraged the klan has publicly bashed them. As we first reported, the Kardashians claim the company has falsely represented that Kim, Kourtney and Khloe are behind the makeup line.

Haven insists, in new legal docs, the girls are just trying to weasel out of the deal they made, so they're asking a judge for 2 things.

First ... an order prohibiting them from talking smack against the company.

Taylor Swift really is the creative brains behind Calvin Harris' monster hit "This is What You Came For," and their relationship fell apart because he disrespected her when the song was released ... this according to sources connected with Taylor.

It's a fascinating story. We've learned an early fan rumor about the song is true, but to a deeper extent than anyone suspected. During their relationship, Taylor wrote the song, sat down at a piano and did a demo into her iPhone. She sent it to Calvin, who loved it. They both went into a studio and did a full demo with Taylor on vocals and Calvin doing the beat.

They both knew the song would be a hit, but Taylor wrote it for Calvin and both agreed it was a bad idea to let the world know they collaborated as a couple ... it would overshadow the song.

So Taylor, who kept the publishing rights, used the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg on the credits.

Fast forward to April 29th. Calvin released the song with Rihanna and it became an instant hit. It's been at #1 or #2 on the Dance/Electronic chart for 9 weeks, and is #5 on the Billboard 100.

The problem in the relationship came the day the song was released. Calvin appeared on Ryan Seacrest's radio show and Ryan asked, "Will you do a collaboration with your girlfriend?" Calvin responded, "You know we haven't even spoken about it. I can't see it happening though."

We're told Taylor was hurt and felt Calvin took it too far.

It was a quick downward spiral from that point. One source called it "the breaking point in the relationship." The Met Gala was several days later, when Taylor danced with Tom Hiddleston.

BTW ... Taylor has the right to prohibit Calvin from performing the song, but she hasn't and doesn't plan to exercise that right. Ironically, Calvin once wrote a song with then-GF Rita Ora and when they broke up he yanked her right to perform it.

As for why the squad is talking now ... we're told they're sick of Calvin trashing Taylor and feel he should be thanking her for quietly giving him a smash hit.

We reached out to Taylor's rep. So far no word back.

Calvin Harris' rebound game is strong ... wrangling a doll like Nicole Scherzinger ... or so it appears.

The superstar DJ and former Pussycat Doll partied together over the weekend at Tape nightclub in London. Our Calvin sources tell TMZ he bumped into her there and later offered to give Nicole and her girls a ride home (smooth!) ... which they accepted.

So much for Calvin declaring he's done dating celebrities.

Former UFC champ Luke Rockhold is the latest fighter to say ... a big percentage of his colleagues secretly use steroids.

The song Calvin Harris wrote for John Newman -- which Calvin says chronicles a love triangle between him, Taylor Swift and her new BF Tom Hiddleston -- just dropped ... and it sure sounds like a play-by-play.

TMZ broke the story ... Calvin wrote the cheating song "Olé" from Tom's POV. But Taylor's camp's calling BS ... saying Calvin wrote the song long before she hooked up with Tom.

The lyrics we said would be in the song are there ... with Tom's famous 'Thor' character, Loki, kicking off the song -- "Low key you won't tell none of your friends about me."

And ...

-- "You've hidden my name in your phone so you can call me to tell me you've been going through hell. Left him alone and you booked in a hotel."

-- "I see online that you begun to be a good girl and take trips with your boyfriend. Being attentive, continue to pretend ..."

Sounds like a hit!

The final 3 candidates to replace Jon Jones at UFC 200 are Gegard Mousasi, Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson -- but there are problems with all 3, especially Henderson ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Our sources say Henderson is a front-runner to fight Michael Bisping for his middleweight title, and that bout is coming up soon -- so moving him to take on Daniel Cormier could screw a potential Bisping match.

Mousasi is already on UFC 200's undercard against Diego Santos. So, moving Gegard would create another hole for Saturday night.

As for Silva -- well, he's old.

We're told the Nevada Athletic Commission requires any fighter over 35 to undergo extensive medical testing and there might not be enough time to get it done for 41-year-old Silva. Plus, as we first reported ... he's also recovering from a recent surgery.

Iggy Azalea now thinks Nick Young can share the blame for their breakup ... with a particular type of person.

We got Iggy at LAX after her flight from Australia -- hours after her epic one finger salute -- and when she was asked what's next, she had a very interesting response.

Now we know what she's looking for in a man. It's also clear she's pissed about Nick's situation -- being a father -- and thinks that's ultimately what opened the door for that other situation. Y'know ... Keonna.
