This marks the second time in as many days that Brittany has made it clear who she plans on casting her vote for ... as she liked a post from the 45th president on Instagram -- but eventually unliked it.

The FBI just dropped new photos of Thomas Matthew Crooks' firearm and IEDs from his failed assassination attempt on Donald Trump last month.

Instead, police say the man has been renting a room in a house in Sylmar for years, and the guy asked the officers for a ride from Burbank to North Hollywood ... which is how he ended up on the street outside Krekorian's office.

The judge overseeing Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's messy and complicated divorce has a family connection to both celebs, plus one of J Lo's famous exes ... but he's shrugging off concerns of a possible conflict of interest.

It's really incredible -- and just goes to illustrate Hollywood's tangled web -- but the judge assigned to Bennifer's divorce, Bradley S. Phillips, has a son-in-law who freaking works as an agent for not only Ben, but also Alex Rodriguez!!!

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Judge Phillips discloses his son-in-law is Strand Conover ... a partner and agent at WME, the talent agency that reps both Ben and A-Rod.

Paul Skenes -- Pittsburgh's ace who's been dating the LSU star gymnast for the past year -- looked like he was in line for yet another win at PNC Park, after he left the matinee tilt against the Cubs with a cozy 10-3 lead.

Jax Taylor may be the No. 1 guy in the group ... but that didn't stop him from getting hit with divorce documents while filming season 2 of "The Valley" ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to the show tell TMZ ... the Bravo personality was served the docs from his estranged wife, Brittany Cartwright, while filming the new season of the reality show Tuesday.

We're told both Jax and Brittany filmed for "The Valley" Tuesday ... however, they did not film together -- which means a 3rd party brought the documents to the Jax's Studio City sports bar owner (and former bartender at the restaurant SUR).

Dozens -- if not hundreds -- of Dodgers fans are ensuring they'll get a Shohei Ohtani bobblehead later Wednesday ... by lining up in front of the stadium -- OVER EIGHT HOURS EARLY!!

Of course, while the Dodger faithful wouldn't mind being in their seats in time to catch the start of the tilt vs. the Orioles -- they're all clearly there to make sure they get their hands on some coveted Ohtani bobbleheads, which will be handed out to the first 40,000 who come to the door.

Following the tragedy, which left 2 dead and another seriously injured, Andre spoke with 11Alive News about the severe state of his father's remains after the incident that killed Marweg.

Per Andre, he requested to see his father's body after the explosion ... as he couldn't believe his dad was actually dead. But the medical examiner told Andre and his relatives Mirko's body was "unrecognizable." Officials used tattoos and a Mississippi State lanyard around Mirko's neck to identify him.

A new "Baywatch" documentary is making waves ... mainly because OG cast member Pamela Anderson doesn't make a new cameo in the doc.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... while the doc, which will stream on Hulu, promises a never-before-seen interview with the iconic "Baywatch" babe, Pamela did NOT actually recently sit for an interview with the filmmakers ... despite an offer to participate in the 4-part doc.

That makes her the only original cast member to skip the opportunity to take a trip down memory lane.
