Angie Harmon's beloved beagle Oliver was shot and killed by a deliveryman over the weekend, and cops have already concluded he was justified, but they won't say why.

TMZ has made repeated calls to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Dept., asking them why they concluded the deliveryman acted in self-defense, but all they said was, "... a delivery driver arrived at the residence to deliver consumable goods. The driver told officers that a dog attacked him while he was at the residence and that he defended himself by firing a single gunshot, striking and mortally wounding the dog."

The police told us the case was closed, but they refused to release the deliveryman's statement or alleged injuries. They would not provide any specific narrative as to what the dog did to show aggression or why it was self-defense.

Somebody recently suggested that "Saturday Night Live" has no hot women among its cast members -- but a couple female staffers care to differ ... albeit, very jokingly.

She specifically called out current 'SNL' cast member Heidi Gardner as an example ... saying the 40-year-old comedian is always forced to play the dumb blonde character, even though -- in her opinion -- HG isn't really attractive ... but is probably the best they have in the lineup.

Tori Spelling le dio la noticia a Dean McDermott de que había solicitado el divorcio justo en medio de su pódcast, y podemos asegurar que fue bastante pasivo-agresivo.

La estrella de "Beverly Hills, 90210" mencionó a Dean en su pódcast "misSPELLING", y todo el mundo pudo escuchar lo que tenía que decir. Asegura que él estaba trabajando cuando ella lo llamó para darle la noticia. Ella minimizó las cosas un poco al principio, diciendo que la petición era solo una formalidad, pero luego se hizo real.

Tori dijo que era justo que ella presentara la demanda primero porque él le habló de sexo y otros detalles íntimos de su matrimonio al Daily Mail. Está claro que ella estaba enfadada por esto y -aunque solo se oye su parte de la conversación- parece que Dean no estaba contento de que ella se le adelantara en el juzgado.

Tori Spelling broke the news to Dean McDermott she had filed for divorce right in the middle of her podcast, and -- to say the least -- it's super passive-aggressive.

Tori said it was only right she file first because he talked about sex and other intimate details in their marriage to the Daily Mail. It's clear she was angry he had done it, and -- although you only hear her end of the conversation -- it seems Dean wasn't happy she beat him to the courthouse punch.
