Pauly Shore Much Needed Love ... For My Mom's Home

The former home of Comedy Store founder Mitzi Shore is getting a facelift, courtesy of her son, Pauly Shore.

Pauly's remodeling the 3-story home. The stand-up comic now owns the property after Mitzi transferred it to him before she died.

The house is located directly behind The Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip. The renovations include vaulted ceilings in the bedrooms and extending the deck. The house needs updating -- both cosmetically and internally, and that's why Pauly's also upgrading the stuff you can't see, like plumbing and wiring.

Sources close to Pauly tell TMZ ... he's not sure what he's going to do with the home after the remodel, but it clearly needs a lot of love.

The remodel cost is expected to run $75k, but let's face it ... it always costs way more.

Model Yovanna Ventura Drives Us Coconuts

Yovanna Ventura has cast her vote in the raging debate over best straw ... then again, who's looking?

The Miami fitness model caught some rays Saturday as she sipped on a coconut-type drink on the sandy shores of South Beach.

If you're memory is still intact, you may recall she dated Justin Bieber back in 2014. It was super weird ... he bought her 2 designer prom dresses. Yes, she was a senior at a Miami high school.

She was born in 1995.

Colton Underwood How's it Hangin'!!!

Famed virgin Colton Underwood failed to get engaged on TV, but he's still holding onto the ring.

The 'Bachelorette' star and ex-NFL stud hit up Venice Beach to sculpt his hot bod, which frankly already looks like a finished work to us.

Colton totally knows how to spend a summer's day at the beach ... 'cause he busted out a six pack. It's a bonus for all the folks walking on the boardwalk for sure.

Seriously, how is this man-dime STILL a virgin? Get on it, ladies.

Did you know Carson Palmer lived like Pablo freakin' Escobar during his time as QB of the Cardinals?!?!

It's true ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned the ex-NFL superstar just sold his mansion now that he's retired -- and the place was EPIC!!

The palace -- located just north of Scottsdale in (fittingly) Paradise Valley -- was a whopping 6,785 square feet and had 6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a pool AND A MOVIE THEATER!!

It coulda been all yours too ... but somebody just snatched it off the market for $2.9 MILLION -- according to David Khalaj from Pro Sports Realty.

Bummer for Carson to lose such a crib ... but he did make $300,000 on the deal -- sooo, all good, right??

Happy retirement!!

Btw ... Kim knows how to do an encore when it comes to her bright and tight Miami outfits. We see you, girl.

Aretha Franklin Rock & Roll HOF Honors First Woman Ever Inducted

Aretha Franklin was the first woman to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ... and the org has already rolled out a new display to honor the singer.

Franklin -- who was inducted back in 1987 -- once gifted the HOF a Valentino dress she'd worn at Radio City Music Hall during an appearance in 1979. The Hall put that dress on display as a tribute to the Queen of Soul.

Besides the insane physique and the cool fashion, check out the water in the pics -- crystal clear in front of a jungle background with some cliffs that you KNOW you gotta jump off of.

Fun Fact: Pablo Escobar famously owned a sick beach estate in Tulum ... but he won't look nearly as good in a bikini!

Hilary Duff Sun's Out Bump's Out in Malibu

Hilary Duff's baby bump is growing by the minute, but that doesn't mean her summer beach days are behind her ... far from it, in fact.

Hilary and her boyfriend, Matthew Koma, hit up a beach in Malibu Tuesday for a little R&R as they await the birth of their child, which is definitely cooking at a healthy pace. She didn't shy away from the water ... Hilary jumps right in with Matt.

The couple announced they were having a baby girl this past June after rekindling their on-again, off-again romance in late 2017. She already has one kid, Luca Cruz Comrie, with ex-husband Mike Comrie.

As for this outing ... can't say we're all that surprised to find Hilary near a sandy shore. She's always been one to get the kiddos in the waves early and often -- whether they're 5 or not even born yet.

'Brady Bunch' House Lights, Camera, Action!!! HGTV Starts Shooting New Show

There's a bunch of camera activity at the famed 'Brady Bunch' house -- maybe the most its seen in more than 40 years -- as HGTV begins pre-production for a new TV show about the groovy pad.

The network started shooting Tuesday at the crib in Studio City, CA ... capturing establishing shots of the exterior, and using a drone for aerial pics.

Although HGTV's production crews probably aren't getting a warm welcome from pissed off neighbors -- it's full steam ahead with chronicling the redesign of the iconic home. We're told filming notices have been distributed around the block.

TMZ.com

As we reported ... HGTV beat out Lance Bass in a bidding war for the property.

We've also learned the house hit the market because the owner died and her family wanted to sell to the highest, most qualified bidder. Kelsey McCallister, the granddaughter of the previous owner, will help produce the show and even hopes to be one of the hosts.

Uniformed guards started standing watch this week outside the property.
