Celebrities love to go on vacation all around the globe, and Dubai is one of the hot spots … can you guess this “Love Island” hottie who shared a smoking hot bikini photo from the famous city?!?

Check out the gallery and see who from “Love Island” has been to the United Arab Emirates … and stay for a bunch of Hollywood A-listers who have taken in all Dubai has to offer.

Gospel singer and bishop Marvin Sapp is under fire for his unorthodox way of asking church members for donations … because he’s on video telling ushers to close the doors until a huge goal is met.

Resurfaced video from Marvin’s sermon at the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World annual summer convention is going viral … and folks are taking issue with Marvin’s fundraising style.

In the clip, the gospel music legend-turned-preacher tells the ushers to close the doors until the 1,000 worshipers in the building donate $20 each.

Cash is king but Marvin says electronic payments work too … and he says anyone donating with their phones need to prove they sent the money.

The big issue here for most folks online is Marvin instructing the ushers to close the doors … with some going so far as to claim he was holding people hostage. Police tell us they were not called.

Marvin’s plea happened after he sang and preached at the 2024 PAW Convention in Baltimore back in July … but the video’s just now getting traction, and stirring debate.

Wednesday night, Sapp posted a response on Facebook to the public outcry about the video … he says, in part, “My directive was not about control it was about creating a safe, focused, and reverent environment for those choosing to give, and for those handling the resources.”

Andrew Tate is strongly denying allegations from a woman who claims he violently choked her during a sexual encounter 2 weeks ago … leading to her filing a police report.

Tate’s legal team tells TMZ … “Andrew Tate vehemently rejects this outrageous allegation and will relentlessly pursue legal action against anyone involved in spreading this blatant falsehood.”

As we reported … Bri Stern filed a sexual assault report with police, claiming Andrew attacked her on March 11 while they were staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Photos obtained by TMZ show bruising on Bri’s face, which she claims is a direct result of Tate’s violent behavior during sex.

However, Tate’s legal team is addressing the photos head-on, telling us … “Once again, we witness the media recklessly publishing a one-sided narrative, disregarding the most fundamental facts. The photos? Not taken in the Beverly Hills Hotel bathroom. They weren’t even snapped at night. No bruising. No evidence whatsoever.”

Tate’s team goes on to say Bri’s “sensational claim” is coming from someone who “chose to spend multiple nights with Andrew and then grew angry with him when he did not fly her to New York City on a private jet.”

That said … our sources tell us Bri traveled to New York on a work trip just days after her sexual encounter with Tate, where she went to the emergency room and was diagnosed as “post-concussive.”

Tate’s team is also responding to screenshots TMZ obtained of alleged texts between Andrew and Bri — where he talks about beating her — saying … “As for the supposed text messages — no verification, no metadata, nothing. In an era where AI can generate entire conversations in seconds, it’s impressive how quickly unverified screenshots become ‘evidence’ when they suit the narrative.”

They argue Tate’s account of what happened with Bri will not align with “the desired narrative,” adding, “It’s far simpler to run with a sensational headline than to confront the truth.”
