5:15 PM PT -- Lady Gaga just responded to the sad news, calling the suicide of her friend "beyond devastating." She also urged anyone suffering from mental health issues to reach out to friends and family, adding ... "We must save each other."

Rick Genest -- better known as Zombie Boy due to the corpse tattoos covering his body -- has died from an apparent suicide ... according to reports.

The Canadian artist and fashion model was well known in the body art world for obvious reasons, but gained mainstream fame in 2011 when he appeared in Lady Gaga's music vid for "Born This Way."

This led to more high-profile fashion work on the runway, including helping relaunch Jay-Z's label Rocawear in Europe in 2012. He also modeled for magazines like GQ and Vanity Fair.

Zombie Boy held the Guinness World Record for most insect tattoos with 176, and another for most bone tattoos with 139. He had also reportedly been working on an album of original songs with ex-Rob Zombie guitarist Mike Riggs before he died.

According to Canada's iHeartRadio ... Montreal cops say Genest was found dead in his apartment from an apparent suicide.

Travis Scott removed a very famous trans model from his "Astroworld" album cover, and although she's publicly taking it in stride ... Travis is getting some backlash that hints at bigotry.

Amanda Lepore tells TMZ she was simply too good looking to make Travis' final cut, saying, "A girl can't help it! I'm too distracting for the eyes! I upstaged everyone in the photograph!" She adds ... "Oh well ... I love David LaChapelle and Travis Scott! Love and kisses."

Amanda's jokey answer echoes what artist LaChapelle said when asked why the final version differed from the one he shot. He's said Amanda "just upstaged every one" and that she "knows the T."

LaChapelle wanted to make it clear, though, that Travis' omission had "nothing to do with hating." What's odd is neither he nor Travis has seriously explained the edit -- and some people online are now accusing the rapper of being transphobic.

Nina Agdal's breaking necks while on vacay ... she gets ya coming and most definitely gets ya going.

The supermodel was spotted -- quite literally -- wearing the hell outta this leopard bikini while in Capri with her boyfriend -- Christie Brinkley's son -- Jack Brinkley-Cook. She soaked in some rays but had plenty of time for some PDA with Jack. #Jelly.

They also took a dip and did so in style, jumping off a cliff. And, from the look of things, Nina stuck the landing!! Capri's the place to be ... if you're rich and pretty, anyway.

Remember when Tekashi69 said Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't score on him??

Well, he didn't say anything about ridiculously hot Instagram models.

The "FEFE" rapper got into a shootout with Brittany Renner -- aka bundleofbrittany -- a former college soccer star who has racked up more than 4 MILLION followers on IG.

The two made a soccer bet -- if he could stop all of her shots, Brit would have to move to NYC. And, if she scored on him ... he's gotta pack up and move to L.A.

Tekashi made a valiant effort -- but the former Jackson State striker just killed him ... even hitting a sick upper 90.

Call the movers?

6ix9ine has boasted A LOT about his soccer skills -- and even hit the pitch with international soccer superstar Mario Balotelli. He is definitely not the worst goalie we have ever seen, but he ain't exactly David de Gea either.

We'll give Tekashi the benefit of the doubt -- maybe he was a bit distracted.

There's nothin' like a latte to perk up your morning -- especially when the mocha's coming from someone who looks like Cat Kennedy.

The DAS-repped model recently enjoyed a beach day in Malibu, where she showed off her best assets in what we're gonna call a milk chocolate shaded bikini. Check out this gallery of Cat trying to stay cool in L.A.'s summer temps.

Yes, she's got us thinking coffee, but make it an iced one. The bonus: cakes on the side!

Iggy Azalea is probably the most effective human billboard we've ever seen -- 'cause we honestly don't know what she's advertising here other than her body. Oh, wait ... we get it.

The Australian MC posted a few shots of herself modeling a swimwear line called BODY! by designer Raven Tracy. The name is certainly appropriate, especially when you've got someone like Iggy showing off the goods.

It's good timing too, considering Iggy's supposedly got a new EP dropping in just a few days called "Survive the Summer." It's been a while since we've heard a new project from her -- meanwhile, it feels like we've been seeing her fantastic ass more and more.

She recently uploaded an amazing twerk off vid ... not that there was really competition for her, besides her own two cheeks. They won, FYI.

Whatever floats your boat, Igg. We're enjoying your work.

The world's top modeling agencies screw their famous clients by urging them into surgery, cramming them into apartments and controlling their dating lives ... according to a new lawsuit.

Model Louisa Raske filed a class action lawsuit against Major Model Management, Wilhelmina, Next, Elite and other top tier agencies claiming the companies instructed models to undergo medical procedures for weight loss and to attain the all-important thigh gap.

In the suit, she also says the agencies tried to run their social lives. For instance, a model named Eleni Tzimas says she was told by Elite to attend high-profile events because people like Donald Trump would be there. Another claims her agency encouraged her to break-up with her bf, who was in the military, so she could date an "a-list celebrity or professional athlete."

Personally, Raske says her agency, Next, used one of her shots on a L'Oreal hair product without ever paying her. She eventually got paid $31k, but insists she was owed more.

Another model, Marcelle Almonte, says her agency, MC2 Models, crammed her into a 2-bedroom Miami apartment with at least 8 other models, and charged $1,850 per month. Doesn't sound like that much, except market value on the place was only $3,300 per month.

The dude with the hat is one lucky guy ... hangin' with Winnie Harlow and her fellow models on a yacht in Miami.

Winnie, her best friend Cindy Bruna and 4 of their comrades in arms hopped aboard the yacht of Dave Grutman -- the King of Miami.

Grutman -- who owns some of the most popular clubs and restaurants in the Miami area -- is also known for his boats, and the one there's own is new ... in fact Saturday's ride was the inaugural run.

Yoga fans will tell ya ... Angela Garten's got game when it comes to great stretches -- and fans of smoking hot chicks will fully agree.

Angela, who's signed with Elite Model Management, struck a perfect cat pose on Santa Monica beach -- and she did it safely too. It's always important to apply some product -- click through the gallery and you'll see what we mean.

She recently walked the runway for the Frankies Bikinis fashion show alongside Kara Del Toro and Josie Canseco ... so, yeah ... she's a pro.

Chrissy Teigen has been getting a lot of flak about how much she shares on social media … and check out how many f**ks she gives.

The mom of 2 was multitasking HARD as she nursed her newborn baby Miles, cracked open a book, and worked on dat supermodel tan.

Chrissy has always kept it super real about the good, the bad, and the ugly of motherhood and, while many find her brutal honesty awesome and refreshing, she’s gotten some pushback lately, with cowards people getting squeamish about Chrissy’s passion for baring it all.

Don’t think Chrissy’s backing down anytime soon though. And with 19 million followers, the haters seem to be in the minority.

Model Karlie Kloss is down for the count ... she's engaged to Jared Kushner's baby brother, Joshua.

The face of Estée Lauder and Adidas announced Tuesday she said "yes a million times over" after Joshua popped the question. The 25-year-old model and the 33-year-old entrepreneur have been dating for around 6 years.

Joshua, of course, broke ranks back in March when he joined hundreds of thousands at the nation's capitol advocating for gun control. Karlie was also at that march. Joshua, whose brother Jared is a Trump senior adviser, also attended the Women's March in January 2017.

Unclear how Karlie and her soon-to-be sister-in-law Ivanka Trump will get along -- especially after Karlie said she voted for Hillary Clinton -- but one thing's for sure ... safe to say Karlie and Joshua won't argue about politics.

Congrats!!

Pro gaming star FaZe Censor just chose Duty over booty -- breaking up with his smokin' hot celebrity weathergirl GF, Yanet Garcia ... so he can focus on playing video games.

Censor and Yanet started dating 3 years ago and have become one of the most famous couples in the gaming world ... because they're both insanely good looking.

But, the love train is OVER -- with Censor saying he broke up with the 27-year-old Mexican meteorologist because he wants to direct all of his energy on winning a Call of Duty championship.

In a 10 minute speed rant, Censor praised Garcia as an "awesome girl" -- who's smart and talented -- but says they're just not on the same page anymore.

"I gotta do what's right for me," Censor said ... explaining that Garcia recently took a job in Mexico City where she can focus on growing her career as a model and an actress.

Censor made it clear his eye is on the prize -- "I'll do whatever it takes to be a champion."

Dude ... after this move, you BETTER win.

Here's Kevin Durant & Kyrie Irving showing that, while they play for different NBA teams, they're on the same squad when it comes to one thing ... HOT CHICKS.

Durant & Irving hit up Wet Republic in Vegas this past weekend, where Irving's girlfriend, Chantel Jeffries, was DJ'ing her first set at the legendary pool party.

KD was making the most of the occasion ... taking shots, and spending a lot of time talking and seeming to have fun with model Jocelyn Chew.

If you remember, Chew popped out of a cake at Joel Embiid's 24th bday back in March ... making some people think maybe the two were an item ... although it was never confirmed.

Nicole Scherzinger follows proper swim etiquette even when she's overseas -- always rinse after taking a dip ... even if you gotta hose off.

The former Pussycat Doll was seen enjoying the ocean in Saint-Tropez Sunday with her Bulgarian tennis pro boyfriend, Grigor Dimitrov ... who seemed more than happy to spray down his smokin' hot GF after taking a dive off their boat near the French Riviera.

He was diligent too ... making sure to get both her front and back, and just about everywhere else. Nicole, of course, returned the favor.

Suns out, buns out ... never has that been truer then when Snapchat queen-turned singer YesJulz hit the sand in a thong bikini.

Julz, who runs the music label 1 AM Entertainment, lit one up during a relaxing day at Escondido Beach in Malibu ... alongside pal and "The Last Ship" actress Jodie Turner-Smith.

Julz wasn't the only one getting high ... so was the tide, which nearly took her down. Don't worry ... Jodie was there to pull her up.

Darrelle Revis gave us a glimpse into his life after football Wednesday night ... and it looks good. REALLY good.

The newly retired cornerback showed up to the ESPYs with Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and pro MMA fighter Mia Kang as his arm candy ... and the two looked VERY coupley.

Are they dating for real? Mia wouldn't spill the beans ... but, Revis did say the two already have a second date planned.

"She said she's going to kick my ass soon," Revis says. "So, I'm looking forward to it."

Sure beats jammin' receivers during the dog days of training camp, right D.R.??
