TMZ.com

'Bling Empire' star, Kane Lim, says he's not really here for all the drama, but he might have some convincing to do ... on not one, but two reality shows.

Kane Lim joined TMZ live Friday, and talked about the new season of the hit Netflix show, "Bling Empire" ... as well as joining the cast of "Selling Sunset".

Kane tells us, he's finding himself in the middle of a lot of heat from folks on social media ... stemming from 'Bling Empire's new season. Regardless, he says he's just rolling with the punches and hopes he'll warm up to people on the Internet.

Kane also acknowledged his arch-nemesis, Dorothy Wang, who is on "Bling Empire" now ... and as expected, he didn't give her glowing reviews.

In case you didn't know, Kane recently joined The Oppenheim Group as a real estate developer ... so he'll be making appearances on "Selling Sunset."

Season 2 of "Bling Empire" is out now on Netflix ... tune in to TMZ Live for the full interview.

Christina Haack Living Large In New Mansion!!! Back to the Beach in Newport

Christina Haack, now Hall, may have a lot of drama right now with her ex-husband Ant Anstead, but that's not stopping her from living large ... cause she just scooped up a brand new $12 million mansion.

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... the former "Flip or Flop" star is living it up in her old stomping grounds of Newport Beach once again ... a month after selling her home 30 minutes south in Dana Point.

We're told the house sold Wednesday in an off-market deal.

As you know, Christina recently remarried, tying the knot with real estate agent, Josh Hall ... we're told the two bought the home together.

The purchase comes after she sold her Dana Point home for $11.5 million last month, after less than a year of owning it ... ya gotta assume that helped a lot when it came to pulling the trigger on this one!

The modern home is just shy of 7,000 square feet with a big pool, an interstellar movie theatre and just insanely gorgeous grounds.

We broke the story ... Christina sold her Newport Beach home she shared with Ant in June 2021.

ICYMI, Ant recently accused her of being an absentee mom ... claiming she put their 2-year-old son Hudson at risk and uses him for social media clout. Christina fired back saying she sees Hudson more than "9 full days each month" and she never used him for clout.

Keven Stirdivant of KASE Real Estate represented the seller and Christina.

Welcome home to Newport, Christina!

Brody Jenner Dating Pro Surfer Tia Blanco

Brody Jenner has a new woman in his life ... he's dating a professional surfer he met in Hawaii.

Sources connected to the couple tell TMZ ... Brody's new girlfriend is Tiarah Blanco, a 25-year-old pro surfer with a world championship medal.

We're told Brody and Tiarah have been dating since the middle of last month, and they met in Hawaii when Brody was there on a family vacation.

Our sources say Brody and Tiarah surfed together on the islands and there was an instant connection ... bonding over a shared love for the ocean. We're told even though it's new ... it's already a real relationship.

It's a long-distance relationship, for sure ... Brody lives in Malibu and we're told Tiarah splits her time between Hawaii and Cali, but they're making it work.

The couple's been hanging out this week in Calabasas ... hitting up Erewhon Market and going on a romantic bike ride through the Santa Monica Mountains.

Tiarah won gold at the women's World Surfing Championship back in 2015 and she recently appeared on the reality TV show "Ultimate Surfer."

Kelly Osbourne I'm Having A Baby!!! First Kid on the Way

Kelly Osbourne just shared some really big news ... announcing she's pregnant, and will be a mom for the first time.

Kelly made the announcement on Thursday via Instagram ... posting a selfie and holding up an ultrasound, writing, "I know that I have been very quiet these past few months so I thought I would share with you all as to why… I am over the moon to announce that I am going to be a Mumma..."

While her post doesn't indicate who she's expecting the baby with, she recently revealed on Instagram she's been dating Sid Wilson from Slipknot, saying, "After 23 years of friendship I can’t believe where we have ended up! You are my best friend, my soulmate and I am so deeply in love with you Sidney George Wilson."

As we've told you, Kelly recently caught COVID along with both her parents, Sharon and Ozzy. So clearly, she's doing much better ... and looking forward to a new addition to the fam.

'Selling Sunset' Chrishell Stause Make Out Mayhem In G Flip's Music Vid

"Selling Sunset" star Chrishell Stause and her new partner G Flip are wasting no time in showing the world just how much they like swapping spit ... making out nonstop in the artist's new music video.

G Flip dropped the raunchy video for "GET ME OUTTA HERE" Thursday, and Stause is the project's main star. In the vid, Chrishell straddles G Flip while they make out, other times they stand and make out, they even make out in a convenience store -- there's a lot of making out.

Dressed in a tight black leather dress, Chrishell is sexy and smiling throughout the vid -- which was shot in L.A.

It was during last week's "Selling Sunset" reunion when Stause revealed, "I recently have been spending a lot of time with someone that's very important to me. Their name is G Flip. They're nonbinary, so they go by they/them. And, they're an extremely talented musician."

It's the first relationship Chrishell has been in since splitting with her co-star Jason Oppenheim. The two had seemed like a perfect match, but had different desires for what their future together might look like.

Kim Kardashian Kanye Told Me Career was 'Over' When I Styled Myself

Kanye West isn't confident Kim Kardashian can continue to be one of the leading figures in fashion -- at least not without his help -- as she explains in a new episode of the family's Hulu show.

Thursday's "The Kardashians" gives fans a look back at Kim's appearance at the WSJ's 2021 Innovator Awards, where Kim was honored. It happened back in November, but what many didn't realize -- it was the first time in a LONG time Kim styled herself without Kanye's help.

According to Kim, Kanye wasn't impressed with her choice -- a brown, form-fitting leather dress -- saying she looked like Marge Simpson and that her career was "over."

Leading up to the event, Kim revealed she was nervous about her upcoming choices, so safe to say Kanye's alleged criticism didn't help.

Not only that, Kim also talked about something Kanye made very clear -- he was pissed about her 'SNL' monologue -- especially the fact she said she "divorced" him. At the time, Ye hadn't signed the divorce docs, so he felt it was wrong she said things were over.

As you know, a judge eventually declared Kim legally single, signing a document in March.

'The Masked Singer' Crew Pulls Off Longest Rehearsal For Biggest Finale Ever!!!

"The Masked Singer" is making history even before the big season finale ... with the cast and crew pulling off a nearly 24-hour day of production.

Our 'MS' sources say the final day of filming broke the show's record for the longest production day ... starting with a 6 AM call time, and wrapping up around 2:30 AM!

We're told, the crew pulled out all the OT stops to go out with a bang this season -- like adding all the lighting, extra stage prep and pyrotechnics into an already packed schedule.

The marathon production is gearing up for the last round of competition where 3 final costumed celebs -- Prince, Firefly and Ringmaster -- will square off for the ultimate title. And, we've learned, the competition is more fierce than ever.

On top of already having a time-consuming day, we're told the mystery performers wanted extended rehearsal time with vocal coaches and choreography teams ... ahead of the final, winner-take-all round.

Of course, ya also gotta add in some production bumps along the way. We're told the crew had to add some last-minute safety precautions to the costumes.

Now ya know the 'Masked' team fully buys into the ol' "go big or go home" theory, which should be evident when the final round airs May 18.

Blac Chyna Loses Against Kardashians Again ... Claims Judge Was Bias

Blac Chyna just took another L after accusing the judge in her fierce legal battle with the Kardashians of harboring an extreme bias against her ... he says she's got it twisted.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Chyna lost a motion to disqualify the judge who presided over the defamation trial the Kardashians recently won.

Thing is ... Chyna's motion made no sense. If she wanted to press a bias claim, she needed to do so during the trial, and ask that the judge recuse himself. The trial is over, and her only recourse would be to ask for a new trial based on an improper ruling ... and she didn't ask for that during the trial, so she's simply out of gas.

Remember ... Chyna claimed the deck was stacked against her in court, claiming the judge showed an "undeniably hostile and extremely biased" attitude against her and her attorney.

But, Judge Gregory W. Alarcon just fired back ... saying Chyna provided no legal grounds for disqualification and defending himself as being unbiased. Again, unclear why the judge just didn't toss her motion because it makes zero sense.

As we reported ... the Kardashian family attorney also pushed back against Chyna's claims, calling it a "baseless effort to save face after losing at trial" and accusing BC of trying to make Judge Alarcon a "scapegoat."

It will be interesting to see if Chnya takes her ball and goes home ... the judge says she has to file a writ of mandate if she wants to take it up with the Court of Appeal.

Stay tuned ...

Blac Chyna Trial Judge Was Biased & Hostile ... Kardashian Atny Says She's Just Trying to Save Face

UPDATE

4:42 PM PT -- The Kardashian family attorney has responded to Chyna's claims, and didn't hold anything back, saying Chyna's latest filing is a, "baseless effort to save face after losing at trial."

UPDATE

They continue, saying while Chyna and her attorney may be upset they lost at trial, "their effort to make a scapegoat of Judge Alarcon is frivolous, dishonest, and deserving of sanctions." They also point out the fact Chyna's attorney didn't have an issue like this with the judge until "after the jury found against her client."

Blac Chyna thinks the deck was stacked against her in her fierce legal battle with the Kardashians ... she accuses the judge of harboring an extreme bias.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Chyna is accusing Judge Gregory W. Alarcon of showing an "undeniably hostile and extremely biased" attitude against her and her attorney.

I GOT YOU, JUDGE ...

Chyna claims the judge's alleged bias worked against her ... specifically in regards to the judge's jury instructions Chyna thinks led to the eventual verdict, which went in the Kardashian's favor.

It's Tricky with Raquel Harper

Remember ... the judge tossed Blac Chyna's mom, Tokyo Toni, outta the courtroom for trashing Kris Jenner and her kids, and TT later appeared to threaten the judge, though she claims it was actually aimed at Kris and not the judge.

Chyna's complaints echo those of Walter Mosley, the executive producer of "Rob & Chyna," who testified during the trial. Walter thinks the judge clearly favored the Kardashians and didn't seem to be a fan of BC's lawyer, Lynne Ciani.

Chrishell Stause Jokes About Adopting 'Adult Lesbian Daughter' From FB Marketplace

Chrishell Stause is ready to start a family -- and the first place she and her new partner are looking is on Facebook ... that is, if you take this fake article at face value.

Here's the deal ... the "Selling Sunset" star got roped into some dumb joke posted by comedian Grace Kuhlenschmidt on social media ... where she poses as the subject of a phony news article describing how Chrishell and her partner, G Flip, have adopted her, an "adult lesbian daughter."

It was totally silly, but the love birds leaned in ... each of them responding to Grace's IG post. GF wrote, "We are so so thrilled. Thank you so much x" and CS echoed that.

After some backlash, though, it seems Chrishell had to clear the air -- namely, pointing out that they were all joking around ... and that they had NOT, in fact, adopted an "adult lesbian" woman off of Facebook.

Chrishell writes, "The amount of people in the comments & replies to this that don't understand that it is a JOKE is actually startling. Soo tempting to post some of the replies. I am happy and can take a joke! This comedian made me laugh with her post."

She adds, "But no guys, we did not adopt an adult for $36 on Facebook Marketplace. Lol."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Of course, Chrishell's snarky response shouldn't confuse folks ... she apparently does want to adopt kids -- something she and her ex, Jason Oppenheim, were at odds over before splitting -- and referenced as much over Mother's Day weekend.

As for Chrishell and G Flip -- they're still going strong, it seems.

Like we told you ... they recently went public with their relationship, and look quite happy. Anyway, back to the fake adoption news -- literally much ado about nothing. Carry on.

'LITTLE WOMEN: ATLANTA' Ms. Juicy Suffered Stroke, Now Out of ICU

Ms. Juicy Baby, star of "Little Women: Atlanta," is recovering from a stroke and is now out of the intensive care unit ... this according to her agency.

Reps for the Meme Agency, which represents Ms. Juicy Baby, say she is still on the road to recovery ... but getting out of the ICU is a step in a positive direction.

TMZ broke the story ... Ms. Juicy was hospitalized in the ICU last month, but the reason for her hospitalization was not known at the time.

Now, Juicy's team says she suffered a stroke ... and she "wants everyone to know she is fighting and ready to go home."

Ms. Juicy's sister, Tanya Evans, is crowdsourcing for medical bills she says have been piling up since Juicy's stroke ... with a GoFundMe seeking $25,000.

Juicy's family says she is still hospitalized and her recovery will be a long road. They are unsure when she will be allowed to go home.

Ms. Juicy's reps add ... "She wants to thank her fans for showing so much love and keeping her in their prayers."

Blac Chyna Mom Tokyo Toni Says ... We Have a New Show!!!

LOTS IN THE WORKS
TMZ.com

Blac Chyna might be down, but she's not out -- at least according to her mom, who says the mother-daughter duo is teaming up yet again ... and going full David Letterman.

We spoke to Tokyo Toni in the aftermath of Chyna losing her court case against the Kardashians -- a brutal defeat that's surely going to be costly for her -- and our photog asked the obvious ... is there any chance BC will be on TV again???

The answer, per Toni, is ... absolutely! In fact, she dropped kind of a big nugget on us -- saying the two of them are actually getting right back to work for a new show that's quite different from what they've done before, which were more reality-based programs.

Unlike those other ventures -- including "The Real Blac Chyna" and "Tokyo Toni's Finding Love ASAP!" -- TT tells us here that the upcoming series is a talk show ... where both mom and daughter sit down with guests and get the tea.

As you see, Toni's stoked about it ... and even invites us, TMZ, onto the show for a sit-down -- to which we say, why the heck not?!? Even more interesting is that Toni says this is going to be carried on her very own network -- dubbed SHN.

Assuming this comes to fruition the way Toni describes it, Chyna's nonchalant attitude from the other day makes a bit more sense ... apparently, she's got some things in the pipeline, and has reason to be happy -- even after her across-the-board defeat before a jury.

The one thing you can't say about Chyna and Toni is that they aren't hustlers -- these gals are always on the grind, and we're curious to see their next on-screen chapter. Congrats!

Tristan Thompson Send Ex's Mom, Kris Jenner, A Bouquet Of Roses ... Happy Mother's Day!!!

Seems like Tristan Thompson is cleverly trying to win back his ex, Khloe Kardashian, by nuzzling up to the person in the seat of power -- Kris Jenner.

Kris shared a photo of the pink and white roses she received for Mom's Day, thanking Tristan for the bouquet and saying she loved him. Of course, this comes 5 months after TT and Maralee Nichols welcomed a child together ... super problematic for his relationship with Khloe.

It's interesting ... TT didn't post any tribute to Khloe, with whom he shares a child, as he has in recent years. It's also unclear if Khloe got a Mother's Day gift from him.

Meanwhile, Travis Scott went all out on the Mother's Day celebration for Kylie Jenner. Kylie posted a photo with their daughter, Stormi ... surrounded by all-white décor and a sea of white flowers, sitting poolside.

THE HEATED CONFRONTATION
TMZ.com
UPDATE

6:46 AM PT -- 5/7 -- Check out the video which shows the aftermath of the alleged attack. At around 1:15 you hear the alleged victim say, "Did you feel good when you kicked me in my fat-ass stomach?" It sounds like Blac Chyna denies it.

Blac Chyna is under criminal investigation for battery ... and the alleged victim claims BC damaged her phone and kicked her in the stomach.

LAPD sources tell TMZ ... Blac Chyna is named as the suspect in a battery report filed Friday, and cops are investigating.

The alleged victim, Sequoya King, tells TMZ ... she and Chyna got into a verbal dispute which turned physical.

King says the alleged incident went down early Friday morning at a bar in Los Angeles ... where King says Chyna took her phone out of her hand and slammed it to the ground, damaging it. She also claims BC kicked her in the stomach, causing her to fall down.

King says the incident began after Chyna got upset because she believed she was being recorded by people in the bar. King says BC accused her of using her phone to record, an allegation she denied.

According to King ... they got into an argument and Chyna took her phone from her hand, smashed it down on the ground and charged at her, kicking her in the stomach. King says Chyna's friends pulled her away and got her into a car.

The battery allegations against Chyna come on the heels of her losing a $100 million defamation suit against the Kardashians, in a trial that focused on the alleged violence BC inflicted on Rob.

KYLIE'S KURVES

Kylie Jenner has snapped back 3 months after giving birth to the little boy whose name still remains a mystery ... and she looks pretty spectacular.

Kylie, who's on vacay in Turks and Caicos with Travis Scott and their 2 kids, was out in a bikini, catching rays in the beautiful blue sea.

She recently said she dropped 40 lbs after putting on 60 during her second pregnancy ... crediting Pilates cardio workouts.

She and Travis had their second kid on February 2. They named him Wolf at birth, but decided the name didn't fit and 86'd it. They haven't said what name they've chosen in its place.

Travis is set to perform Saturday night in Miami at a Formula 1 Grand Prix event, easing back into taking the stage since the Astroworld tragedy last November.

They are clearly having a great time on vacation ... but then again, look at the scenery. Who wouldn't?

"Selling Sunset" star Chrishell Stause has rebounded from her romance with Jason Oppenheim ... she's now dating G Flip.

Chrishell dropped the news on the "Selling Sunset" reunion special ... she and the nonbinary Australian singer are an item. She said, "I recently have been spending a lot of time with someone that's very important to me. Their name is G Flip. They're nonbinary, so they go by they/them. And, they're an extremely talented musician."

The 2 were seen leaving The Abbey in WeHo, spending 4 hours partying until 2 AM -- with plenty of PDA.

As for how they hooked up, Chrishell said, "It started because I was just going to be in their video. And, it's about this chaotic love story. I come from soaps, I love acting. And, with the job that we have, I don't always get to do it. At first of course I was like yes, let's do that."

The 27-year-old musician is reportedly living with Chrishell, 40, in her L.A. home. As we reported, Chrishell bought the home, in part, with the loot she got from selling her wedding ring courtesy of ex-hubby, Justin Hartley.

The 27-year-old musician hails from Melbourne and is known for their songs, "GAY 4 ME," "Lover," and "Drink Too Much."

Chrishell flew to Denver last weekend to watch her partner perform with Lauren Sanderson ... the 2 collabed on the song, "GAY 4 ME."

Congrats you two!!!
