"All That" alum Angelique Bates says Kianna Underwood's death was completely avoidable if her castmates or Nickelodeon had stepped in to help her out.

Angelique shared her thoughts on the tragic loss with TMZ over the weekend ... noting she first advocated for Kianna back in 2023 when videos of her homeless on the street gained traction. But, she says her pleas for help mostly fell on deaf ears, and little was done for Kianna. The former child star theorizes part of the underwhelming response has to do with Kianna being a minority -- it's all in the clip.

She supported her theory by mentioning another homeless Nickelodeon star was immediately offered assistance when social media videos showing them on the streets went viral. Angelique didn't name any names, but it's no secret Hollywood jumped into action to get 'Ned's Declassified' alum Tylor Chase -- who is white -- assistance when people caught wind that he was struggling with homelessness and mental health issues in recent weeks.

At the end of the day, Angelique says people involved in the "All That" franchise and Nickelodeon really dropped the ball, especially after Kianna made the network so much money. She argues that she, Kianna, and so many of her colleagues were done dirty by the network, and hopes they support their child stars better nowadays.

The Miami Hurricanes are a win away from adding a sixth national championship to their trophy case ... and Jeremy Shockey -- who won one of them in 2001 -- spoke with TMZ Sports about what he'd tell the players ahead of the biggest night of their lives.

"Try to be like a horse with blinders," Shockey said. "The distractions are going to come, it's a big week."

The 45-year-old said the team has already weathered the storm of the season, noting the Hurricanes have played in three high-stakes playoff games to get to this point.

Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, Sneako and other professional agitators posted video over the weekend partying to Kanye West's song "Heil Hitler" ... and it's about as gross as you'd imagine.

Full of proud Nazi salutes and tentative head bobbing, the posse of attention whores pre-gamed in their party bus before heading to a Miami nightclub. Once inside, the "manosphere" boys apparently got the DJ to play the banned song for them inside the venue.

The song has obviously been widely condemned for its use of antisemitic references, and the club, Vendome, later responded, making clear they don't stand with the messaging.

Some stars out there are just too cool for school ... can you guess who this strong-and-silent-type celeb is?

Dog the Bounty Hunter's son Garry Chapman -- who was fired, then reinstated, from a police force in Alabama last year -- is suing the department ... He says they only disciplined him to teach him a lesson for calling out a dirty cop.

Remember ... Chapman's employment was terminated last year after his involvement in a fatal high-speed car chase. He was later reinstated, but he says he should've never been fired in the first place.

In court documents, obtained by TMZ, Chapman alleges the police department, along with Priceville, Alabama, Mayor Sam Heflin, used the tragic incident as an opportunity to smear his name and get rid of him -- something Chapman alleges they were working on for some time.
