0-esowlbod

Ariel Winter from "Modern Family" has allegedly been abused by her mom -- and now Ariel's even been removed from her home. TMZ broke the story ... and we have more info about her mother ... and the long history of family issues.

Plus, Michael Jackson's bodyguard -- who was with MJ the night he died -- actually got another bodyguard gig ... with One Direction!! Does his past with Jackson help or hurt the ole resume??

Also, Diane Sawyer's bizarre (at best) election night performance has people talking -- was she drunk, tired, or something else? Trust us ... this D-Sizzle debate is way better than any of the presidential ones.
