The weekend kicked off 2026 with a bang as TMZ After Dark threw back-to-back bashes hosted by stars from Love Island and Love & Hip Hop. Friday night belonged to Charlie Georgio and Austin Shepard, while Nikki Mudarris took the reins on Saturday. Both nights delivered non-stop chaos and energy in West Hollywood.
Oh honey, if this is how 2026 is starting, we're in for a wild ride! TMZ After Dark doubled down on the drama this past weekend, turning up the heat with reality TV royalty at the helm. According to TMZ, Love Island season 7 alums Charlie Georgio and Austin Shepard owned Friday night, bringing that villa vibe straight to The Burgundy Room before bouncing over to Saddle Ranch for some surprise quesadillas and watermelon shots. Talk about serving chaos on a platter! 🔥
Saturday? Even messier. Love & Hip Hop's Nikki Mudarris, flanked by Neo Da Matrix, hit Power House first, then kept the party rolling at Beaches WeHo, and capped it off at Saddle Ranch where Nikki straight-up hopped on the mechanical bull, making it an instant classic. Non-stop energy from start to finish, y'all — these nights were pure fire. As TMZ puts it, '2026 is already popping off,' and if the party's only getting hotter, who's ready to join the frenzy? Grab those tickets before they're gone, because this double trouble is just the appetizer. So, is TMZ After Dark the new king of nightlife, or what? 👀
