Joe Germanotta -- a New York City restaurateur -- went on Fox News just minutes ago to throw his support behind the former president over Democratic opponent Kamala Harris, calling DJT "pure" and "a patriot."

Germanotta says he thinks the whole concept of voting for people is a bit odd ... but, even though he admits he finds DJT abrasive, he rattles off a series of Trump policies that align with his own views.

Former Bad Boy Records rapper and current Belize politician Shyne is raking Diddy across the coals after the mogul's arrest -- and is blaming him for destroying his hopes and dreams!!!

Shyne held a press conference with Belizean media as Diddy was being denied bail on Wednesday ... and did his ex-boss no favors in the background.

According to Shyne’s recollections, he was a fresh-faced 18-year-old with dreams of cracking superstardom and making his mother proud.

The footage backs what TMZ Sports reported just days after Urias' arrest ... when law enforcement sources told us he came up from behind his partner, put his arm around her, forcefully pushed her into the barrier and pulled her hair.

The clip also shows Urias swinging in the woman's direction while bystanders tried to intervene ... although it is unclear if he landed the punch.

It ain't Christian McCaffrey, Breece Hall or Bijan Robinson ... no, the best tailback in the NFL is Alvin Kamara!!

... at least, that's according to the Saints star's teammate, Demario Davis, who tells TMZ Sports he's sure no one else in the league is as good a runner as Kamara.

Before this adorable little girl in her floral top was studying scripts, she was just growing up as an only child, moving to Hollywood when she was only 11 years old and babysitting for Bob Saget.

Need one more clue? She has two kiddos with her hubby who she met on "Buffy The Vampire Slayer."

Justin Timberlake already pled guilty to driving while ability impaired ... and, that's that, it seems -- 'cause the public probably isn't gonna see footage from his arrest.

TMZ put in a public records request for the body cam footage of Justin's traffic stop and subsequent arrest from Tuesday, June 18 ... but, instead of receiving the footage, the Office of the Suffolk County District Attorney told us it wouldn’t be released because the parties agreed to seal it.

It looks like JT's team and the prosecutors mutually agreed to seal the video ... preventing people from accessing it outside of the prosecutors and Timberlake’s team.

Diddy might think he's slick with the wild amount of baby oil the feds say he stashed, but experts in the sex industry say he's stocked up on the wrong substance ... and he's doing the dirty all wrong!

That news doesn't sit well with several Vegas-area brothels -- they tell us people should not use baby oil as a lube, 'cause it's bad for vaginal health and can warp condoms.
