Toccara Jones is rushing to Lizzo's defense against an army of body-shaming haters ... she says critics are just insecure, and yet she's calling Jillian Michaels a "heifer."

The ex-"America's Next Top Model" contestant thinks it's crazy body shaming is still a thing in 2020, and she's convinced the hate is just a manifestation of people's lack of confidence in their own bodies.

As you know ... Jillian ignited a huge controversy when she said folks should celebrate Lizzo's music and not her weight. The fitness guru believes Lizzo could be in for serious health issues down the line.

Toccara thinks Jillian's comments are grossly misguided ... she says it's not about weight or body mass because those who don't tip a scale can also run into health problems. Toccara tries to hold her tongue, but she just can't and takes a shot at Jillian.

Bottom line for Toccara ... body shaming oughta be a relic of the past, along with antiquated notions of who is and isn't healthy.

Gigi Hadid will not have to look at Harvey Weinstein for weeks on end ... she's been dismissed from jury service in Manhattan.

Gigi showed up Thursday morning at the courthouse to re-enter the panel of potential jurors -- but it was a quick trip.

Shortly after the 8th day of jury selection began, Ms. Hadid was excused from the panel ... and not shockingly. As we reported, Gigi told the judge earlier this week she'd met Weinstein once.

The bigger issue with her being a juror -- for the defense, certainly -- is the fact she's BFFs with Cara Delevingne ... who's publicly accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct.

The good news for Gigi -- she did her civic duty by even responding to the jury summons ... more than most of us can say, right? She also gets to pocket $40! That's the daily stipend for NYC jurors.

Christian McCaffrey really is one of the best utility players in the game ... not only can he run and catch ... he can also squeeze super hot models into the tightest pair of leather pants!!!

The Carolina Panthers superstar came in clutch for his incredibly attractive GF Olivia Culpo before their date in L.A. over the weekend ... helping her squeeze into her pants in a super sexy moment captured on her IG Story.

"Leather pants should come with a human to help put them on," OC said. "This was after I ripped the belt loop trying to pull them up myself."

But, don't worry, the shirtless assistance from CMC was helpful enough to get the couple out of the house for their romantic dinner at Delilah in West Hollywood.

Culpo and McCaffrey have been on fire lately ... they recently had their belated Christmas together and had a lil bae-cation before getting back to L.A.

Gigi Hadid's in an awkward place, getting called as a potential juror on Harvey Weinstein's criminal trial -- and though she probably has solid reason to be excused, it seems she wants to serve.

Gigi showed up Monday morning in the NYC courthouse, and was later seen exiting. She was the model potential juror -- refusing to discuss the case, now in the fifth day of jury selection. More than 100 jurors have reportedly filled out questionnaires about their backgrounds and whether they'd remain impartial in the case.

Gigi was reportedly seated just 20 feet away from Weinstein and, according to the NY Daily News, she told the judge she'd previously met Weinstein but, "I think I'm still able to keep an open mind to the facts."

Not like Joe Burrow needed any motivation ... but here's Tigers superfan Boosie Badazz telling TMZ Sports he's planning a rager for the ages if the QB brings home a title for LSU!!

Of course, Boosie is a life-long Purple and Gold backer and is a HUGE Burrow guy -- he even FaceTimed the Heisman Trophy winner back in November.

We spoke with the rapper before Burrow faces off against Trevor Lawrence and Clemson in the national championship on Monday ... and he says there's gonna be some models waiting for the guy if he comes up with the dub.

"I'm thinking about throwing Joe a party at my house," Boosie says. "Everybody got their clothes on though. Real model-type women. Joe needs the prettiest model in the game right now."

"Joe needs somebody like Scarlett Johansson. Joe a big dog. Y'all don't see it right now, but this the next Tom Brady."

As for the game, Boosie is confident Burrow can lead the Tigers to the promised land because "he has no fear in his heart ... he is the truth and I stand behind Burrow."

Model Kaylen Ward is working on a new crowdfunding initiative that could rival GoFundMe ... a platform where hot chicks sell nudes to raise money for good causes across the globe.

Kaylen -- known in social media circles as The Naked Philanthropist -- tells TMZ she's got grand plans of going global after dipping her toe in the nudes-for-relief-donations pool, having already raised $700,000 for Australian wildfire relief funds.

Here's how it started ... horny guys and girls who donated $10 to certain Australian fundraisers got a sultry snap from Kaylen. Talk about a win-win.

Chantel Jeffries has a new man in her life ... Diplo, and dude's already mastered the "Instagram novio" role while in Mexico.

The 27-year-old goddess and famous 41-year-old DJ are kicking it in the picturesque town of Tulum ... where they had trouble keeping their hands off each other. They got super cozy and very wet ... taking a dip in the Caribbean waters while getting super handsy.

It appears this is their coming out party as a couple. Chantel posted several stories on her Instagram showing her relaxing with Diplo, who strokes Chantel's hair and calls her "baby" when she pans the camera his way as they laid back on a hammock.

And, Diplo's already embracing the "Instagram boyfriend" lifestyle ... 'cause Chantel just posted a series of pictures of her sexy self in a yellow bikini, but the last pic shows Diplo's the one putting in work and snapping away. Atta boy.

Gotta give Chantel credit for bagging herself yet another baller. She's previously been linked to Machine Gun Kelly, NFL star DeSean Jackson, NBA stars Jordan Clarkson and Kyrie Irving as well as Justin Bieber and The Weeknd.

The Kardashian and Jenner gals had themselves a hot girl 2019 and there's a huge stack of sexy selfies from social media to show the hot locations ... and sexy curvations ... to prove that this year still belonged to the Calabasas brood.

Flip through the skin-filled flicks of the valley chicks and see if you're skilled enough to guess if the sexy figure in the photo belongs to Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kylie or Kendall.

Doug Flutie says his gorgeous daughter, Alexa, was "in the mix" to become a Maxim cover model ... but a gnarly accident with a dog forced her to back out of the contest.

TMZ Sports spoke with the ex-football star about the former NFL cheerleader throwing her hat in the ring for Maxim's cover girl contest earlier this year ... and he says he was "very proud" of her success.

"Very good," Flutie says. "Very proud of her. She really made a good run at that."

Flutie says Alexa made it a few rounds before a bad dog bite kept her from continuing through the competition ... but she's doing much better now.

"She kind of just ignored the whole thing and left it and went on to take care of herself."

"She’s doing great, she’s fine but would've been interesting to see if she kept promoting herself online and kept after it a little bit how she could of done."

We also asked how he feels about people eyeing his daughter ... and he says he's used to it by now!

"I gave up on that a long time ago," Flutie jokes. "She’s spent 5 years in the NFL as a NFL cheerleader, she went to school for dance, she been in production, she’s been in this and that."

Pete Buttigieg was able to get at least one new Hollywood A-lister to endorse his bid for the presidency -- but his opponent, Bernie Sanders, has him beat in that department.

Kevin Costner showed up to a modest-sized town hall Sunday in Indianola, Iowa and publicly backed the Southbend mayor for Prez ... reportedly telling the crowd of about 1,200 that he didn't wanna tell them who to vote for, but was simply sharing who he supported.

Of course, that's PB. Kevin went on to tout Pete's steady hand among the Democratic contenders, calling him a man of "this moment" and someone who could right the ship.

Kevin then introduced Pete and embraced him in a hug. Pretty cool moment ... but it kinda pales in comparison to the VIP treatment Bernie was met with in L.A. the day before.

Model Mama Cax has died at the age of 30 after surviving cancer and a brief stay in the hospital.

A rep for Cax -- born Cacsmy Brutus -- posted the sad news on her Instagram Friday, saying, "It is with deep regret and immense sadness that we announce the passing of Cacsmy Brutus (Mama Cax). Mama Cax spent the past week in the hospital, and unfortunately, on Monday, December 16, 2019, she left this world."

They continue, "To say Cax was a fighter would be an understatement. As a cancer survivor, she had grown accustomed to taking on life's several challenges head on and successfully. It is with that same grit (fervor) that she fought her last days on Earth."

Model Danii Banks says she got a rude awakening when an alleged armed robber busted into her pad demanding money, while she stood startled ... and totally in the buff.

This surveillance shows the naked truth, according to Danii, who tells us she was asleep in her Chamblee, GA apartment last week when she heard a loud noise, prompting her dogs to bark like crazy. You can see in the footage ... the alleged robber was armed with a gun and demanding money.

Danii stumbled into the room, naked and seeming totally out of it.

Danii -- an IG model with more than 2.5 million followers -- says the crook made her open a safe, which she says was empty. Danii adds the man then pushed her onto the bed before he fled.

The guy who played the high schooler who gets killed in the first season of "Riverdale" is now killing it with his good looks ... and he just landed his first modeling deal.

Trevor Stines -- best known for playing Jason Blossom on the teen drama TV series -- signed with DT Model Management and the agency says it has high hopes for the hunky actor.

DT agent, Ricardo Guerrero, tells us he knew about Trevor from Riverdale, but what really caught his attention was his sexy role in the Lifetime movie, "Purity Falls."

In the flick, Stines plays a high school wrestler who gets entrapped in a neighborhood woman's male escort business ... but the movie poster really says it all.

Guerrero says the team met with Trevor, and along with his flawless features ... his personality won them over. He adds that DT's hoping to book Stines in ad campaigns, and because of his "classic beauty" and charm ... they want him in fashion shows too.

BTW -- Trevor's 6'1" .... a perfect model height for the runway.

Kendall Jenner's down in Miami Beach, chilling on a yacht, soaking up the sun and hitting up parties, but she's still thinking about being someone else ... or so her reading list would suggest.

Kendall hopped on a yacht Friday -- the SS Groot to be exact -- and slipped into a tiny, burnt orange bikini. She's been in Miami all week for Art Basel, so of course, she still looked uber-fashionable by rocking a slick green jacket too.

As for her choice in literature -- she's reading "Tonight I'm Someone Else" by Chelsea Hodson, a collection of essays described as a thoughtful, passionate account of a woman's life experiences.

Here's tennis star Juan Martin del Potro showing us how he's recovering from that pesky knee injury ... a Miami beach romp with his model girlfriend!

Feelin' better already?!

Juan -- the former #3 ranked player in the world -- fractured his kneecap earlier this year after slipping on grass during a tourney and had to undergo surgery to repair it.

He's hoping for a big-time comeback when he's all healed up -- but in the meantime, the 31-year-old Argentinian stud is relaxing in Miami with actress/model Sofia Jujuy Jimenez.

They reportedly started dating earlier this year -- and it seems to be going REALLY well ... at least judging by the PDA in the pics!

From what we can tell on her IG page, Sofia is a pretty good model ... meaning, she looks damn incredible in a bikini.

Jason Derulo's penis is worth 6-figures to a site pushing adult content, and it says he's welcome to post pics of his junk ... without the discrimination he says he's getting from the 'gram.

CamSoda is making an offer they hope Jason can't refuse ... up to $500,000 just to share thirst traps of his anaconda over the next 6 months, and he does NOT have to pose nude to get the dough.

Sounds like it could be the easiest money Jason's ever made. CamSoda says it will create his own page where he can share pics, videos and live streams in his underwear. Although, we're sure they'd be thrilled if he opted to show his, umm ... blessings in the buff.

As you know, Instagram recently removed Jason's famous underwear pic coming out of a steamy pool in Bali. IG says JD violated the platform's guidelines by showing off "aroused genitalia."

Jason says he's fallen victim to a social media double standard and maintains he wasn't fully-aroused in the photo.
