Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris is more valuable than any financial donation, says a former Tennessee congressman who’s seen Swift's star power work wonders for his own campaign.

Jim Cooper, who Swift endorsed for the U.S. House of Representatives back in 2018, tells TMZ ... though the star didn’t contribute cash to his campaign, her endorsement was more than worth its weight in gold.

He says it was a massive boost for his election, so he’s confident Kamala will appreciate the push just as much.

Jason Oppenheim confirms he was duped alongside "Selling Sunset" fans when newcomer Alanna Gold claimed she owned Pioneertown ... but he's already forgiven the realtor.

We caught up with the Oppenheim Group boss in Los Angeles, where he told TMZ that he had no clue the season 8 new addition didn't actually own the western town in Yucca Valley, California, like she claimed on the show.

Rather, he learned the truth when Pioneertown spoke out to dispute Alanna's false claim.

2:25 PM PT -- A rep for Jonathan Majors tells TMZ ... "Jonathan is excited to get back out in front of the fans who appreciate and love the Kang storyline and lore, and he can’t wait to see some friendly faces."

Jonathan Majors is turning to a new business venture following his fall from grace last year ... attending his first-ever convention to sell his signature for a hefty price.

The disgraced Marvel actor -- who was found guilty of misdemeanor third-degree assault and second-degree harassment in December -- is set to appear at the Famous Monsters Fest in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania Sunday ... where he will be selling autographs for $140 each. He'll also have signed pro-shot pics available for purchase ... for a whopping $160.

While Majors will be in good company at the popular convention -- "Lord of the Rings" legend Andy Serkis, "Star Trek" actor George Takei, and "Halloween" alum Tyler Mane will also be in attendance -- the public appearance is a far cry from where his career was before his arrest and subsequent domestic violence trial.

Justin Timberlake just sealed a plea deal in his DWI case ... hammering out an agreement that does not involve drunk driving or even a criminal offense ... he's copped to a traffic violation.

The singer's lawyer, Edward Burke Jr., and prosecutors just got the judge in the DWI case to sign off on the deal. The DWI charge is officially dropped, and Justin will cop to Driving While Ability Impaired ... according to sources with direct knowledge.

Although the word "impaired" is used, it is NOT a drunk driving offense. As for the penalty, we're told Justin will pay a $300 to $500 fine, and that's it. The judge will set the exact amount of the fine during a hearing Friday, when the plea deal is officially before the court.

An eyebrow-raising video of an apparent sex act was just streamed on Shannon Sharpe's social media account on Wednesday ... but the Hall of Famer is insisting it was not his doing.

The ESPN talent's Instagram went live just minutes ago ... and while the former tight end's face seemingly did not appear at any point, a moaning woman is heard throughout several clips that have since spread on the internet.

After the NSFW clip was taken down, Sharpe sent a message of caution to his 3.2 million followers ... claiming he was the victim of a cyber attack.

Katy Perry’s still dishing out racy bedroom secrets about Orlando Bloom ... and standing up for him over a viral pic of him checking out Kim Kardashian's bum.

The singer was on the "Elvis Duran Show" Tuesday, where the host read her TMZ's story about Orlando's sneak peek ... and instead of flipping out, Katy approved of his gaze, noting how could he not check out Kim’s voluptuous buttocks?

Katy is in the pic too ... and when Duran read the part in our story about Orlando checking out Kim’s behind, with his hand hovering above Katy’s butt, she quipped, "It’s been other places. Sorry to tell you!"

Andy Cohen and Ryan Seacrest and are no longer beefin' ... years after butting heads over their rival New Year's Eve programs.

The TV personalities caught up on Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" Tuesday evening, where a fan wrote in with a question about the status of their feud.

Cohen admitted he didn't exactly recall what started the drama ... but assured fans all is well between himself and Seacrest. He even noted the rival hosts saw each other on NYE last year and there was no issue ... they even waved at each other!!!

Reggie Bush's L.A.-area mansion was nearly invaded Tuesday night ... but TMZ Sports has learned the former Heisman Trophy winner's quick actions helped stop the crime before it really began.

It all went down at around 11 PM in Encino ... when our sources say at least one person smashed out one of the windows at Bush's multi-million-dollar home.

We're told the ex-USC Trojans running back was at the pad when the attempted break-in happened ... and when he immediately yelled -- the suspect(s) fled the area.

Donald Trump is convinced he won Tuesday night's presidential debate against Kamala Harris ... but he's accusing the network that hosted the event of bias.

The former prez called into "Fox & Friends" Wednesday morning, where he ripped into ABC News for holding, what he called, a "rigged" debate.

Check out the vid ... Trump slammed the ABC network for being "dishonest" after debate moderators chose not to correct Harris over one remark -- specifically, Trump took issue with Harris villainizing his use of the phrase "bloodbath," claiming he was referring to the economy -- not endorsing rioting.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris aren't letting last night's debate jabs get in the way of commemorating lives lost on 9/11 ... the presidential hopefuls kept their composure during Wednesday's memorial ceremony.

Mere hours after 45 and the current Vice President were at each other's throats debating on ABC News, the 2 politicians stepped out for a memorial service at Ground Zero in NYC ... where they honored the nearly 3,000 people who died there in a terrorist attack 23 years ago.

The candidates made it clear the 9/11 tribute is no place for politics ... choosing to keep it civil and share a handshake while posing for pictures.

Tyreek Hill is placing (some) blame squarely on himself, saying he wishes he could "go back and do things differently" during his run-in with police ... while making it crystal clear, despite his prickly attitude, the cops had no right to get physical with him!

30-year-old Hill met with reporters in Miami on Wednesday -- when the All-Pro receiver was asked whether he could have behaved better during the traffic stop outside Hard Rock Stadium before Sunday's Dolphins game.

"My life is all about accountability. So right now, I have family members who are cops. We've had conversations. Yes, I will say I could've been better," Cheetah admitted from the Dolphins practice facility, adding, "I could've let my window down at that instant but the thing about me is I don't want attention. I don't wanna be like cameras out, phones on you at that moment."

It's the endorsement everyone's been waiting for ... we knew it was coming, it was just a question of when. Minutes after the debate, Taylor Swift announced her support for Kamala Harris. The question -- will it make a difference? Will it help Harris or backfire? So we gotta ask ...

George Conway’s joining the chorus of folks declaring their take on who won the Kamala Harris - Donald Trump debate last night.

We caught up with the conservative lawyer and anti-Trumper as he left 'Jimmy Kimmel' Tuesday ... offering his opinion on the outcome, and calling out Trump’s bizarre migrants-eating-pets claims.

Conway also comments on Taylor Swift’s endorsement after the debate -- declaring he’s got daughters who are total Swifties.

Tyreek Hill is calling for the officer at the center of his controversial detainment to get the boot ASAP ... claiming his use of force during the traffic stop was "excessive, escalating, and reckless."

The Miami Dolphins superstar's attorney, Julius B. Collins, released a statement on his behalf ... saying his legal team thoroughly reviewed footage of the incident and noted several instances in which they believe the cop crossed the line.

Hill's team listed each issue ... stating the officer twice placed his hands around his neck, forcefully pulled him out of his sportscar and put him face-down on the pavement.

Jason Kelce's "Monday Night Football" debut shirt -- and his NSFW comment that accompanied it -- had nearly everyone in stitches ... including Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift!!

At least, that's what the Kansas City Chiefs star said on Wednesday's episode of "New Heights" ... revealing that when he and his girlfriend saw the whole scene unfold on ESPN this week -- they giggled hard.

"Me and Taylor were watching that," the tight end said, "absolutely dying laughing at it."

Donald Trump has some "Bad Blood" with Taylor Swift following her decision to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris ... and he made his feelings on the matter abundantly clear.

The former prez called into "Fox & Friends" after the debate and Swift's highly-publicized endorsement ... and while 45 tried to seem calm and cool about the whole thing, he was a bit miffed by her decision.

As Trump put it ... He didn't even want Swift's endorsement to begin with, since he wasn't even a "Taylor Swift fan."
