Bill makes it very clear ... in his book, Harris isn't a perfect choice for him by any stretch, but it's all about the alternative, which BM finds appalling.

JLO'S EMOTIONAL MESSAGE

Some in the office think it's unfair for J Lo to go after Trump for a racist joke a comedian made at his Madison Square Garden rally ... because DT wasn't the one who said it.

One thing we can all agree on ... the Trump campaign screwed up by inviting Tony Hinchcliffe to have a speaking role so close to Election Day.

Diddy's methods of keeping his business affairs have been shrouded in mystery, but now TMZ can show how -- 'cause we've obtained a standard Combs NDA studio attendees were required to sign.
