Nick Saban is getting another tribute at Alabama -- the school just announced it is renaming the Bryant-Denny Stadium field in his honor.

Bama will hold a ceremony on September 7 ... when the Crimson Tide host the South Florida Bulls.

The university shared a special video to reveal the news ... featuring several memorable soundbites from Saban's historic career.

"Big Brother" winner Dick Donato is sounding off on Paramount+'s decision to axe the live feed's rewind and archive features, and he has a one-word theory on why they did it ... money!

We caught up with Evel Dick after the streaming platform retooled the live feed -- which left fans seriously pissed, because now they can't watch back unfiltered moments. Fans speculated this was a strategy to keep problematic moments in the house from plaguing the show ... but DD isn't sold on this theory, telling us this is likely a money thing.

As Dick put it, Paramount+ and CBS don't care about controversy, as this often captures fans' interest and gets them to tune in. Instead, he points to the fact the show is filmed with HD cameras ... and says archiving that footage likely costs a pretty penny.

Before this blonde dapper boy from Salt Lake City, Utah turned into a big Hollywood star, he was just throwing on his blazer and slacks, hitting the ballroom and having a dance off with his lil' sis.

Before he made a name for himself jiving in the ballroom and showin' off his moves, he spent his younger years studying and dancing in London. Yes, he can groove, but he's also written a New York Times Best Selling book.

The tables turned when he entered as a judge on "World of Dance" with Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo.

Tom Sandoval says he didn't mean to sue his ex, Ariana Madix, and is now withdrawing his lawsuit ... putting the blame on one of his lawyers.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star took to social media Thursday to clear up the legal action he took against AM -- where he countersued her in the case Rachel Leviss brought against him and Ariana regarding alleged revenge porn -- and made it clear ... this was a mistake.

Tom claims one of his attorneys told him about a cross-complaint -- and, allegedly, told him what he was about to file is customary ... with Tom saying he urged him to sign off on it, which Tom says he did ... albeit, unwittingly, or so he insists.

Bob Newhart -- an absolutely iconic figure in stand-up comedy, TV and film -- has died.

Bob passed away Thursday at his Los Angeles home after a series of brief illnesses, according to his longtime rep.

He's perhaps best known for his deadpan delivery, and his 2 successful sitcoms -- "The Bob Newhart Show" came first from 1972 to 1978, and costarred Suzanne Pleshette, Marcia Wallace and Peter Bonerz.

AMAZING news from Michael Strahan's daughter, Isabella ... she's officially cancer-free!!!

The 19-year-old revealed the news on Thursday in a 'Goodbye Hospital' video on her YouTube channel ... one month after her final treatment for a brain tumor.

The clip shows Isabella at the Duke Children's Hospital & Health Center in Durham, North Carolina ... where she had her chemotherapy port surgically removed, something she was excited about, despite it being a painful procedure.

"The Boys" series is making one key change to its season 4 finale due to the shooting of Donald Trump, because the episode has some striking parallels to the assassination attempt.

The Prime Video drama's episode was originally named "Assassination Run" and centered on the main characters trying to thwart a plot to kill the president. Following Saturday's shooting at Trump's rally, those at Prime Video clearly wanted to avoid being associated with violence ... as they chose to retitle the episode to simply say "Season 4 Finale."

The series also issued a warning before the episode, in which they emphasized the fictional political violence -- written, filmed and edited long before last weekend -- was "completely coincidental and unintentional."

Shannen Doherty appeared to make peace with longtime frenemy Alyssa Milano before her death ... as she doled out surprising praise for the actress in her final days.

The actress recorded an episode for the "House of Halliwell" podcast with "Charmed" costar Holly Marie Combs, which was released July 14, the day after Shannen died. During the episode, Shannen reflected on actress Lori Rom originally playing Phoebe Halliwell in an unaired "Charmed" pilot -- with the role later going to Alyssa.

Despite their decades-long feud, Shannen praised Alyssa for bringing some much-needed levity to the supernatural drama.

Chanel West Coast is all good with leaving "Ridiculousness" -- and she's only looking back long enough to send love to her replacement, Lauren "Lolo" Wood.

As Chanel tells TMZ ... she is focusing solely on her new TV endeavor -- her MTV reality show, "The West Coast Hustle," which premieres Thursday.

As for what fans can expect from her new gig? Well, watch the vid ... we got Chanel Wednesday outside "The Henry" in L.A., where she promised the series is an in-depth look at her personal life -- teasing that her daughter, Bowie Breeze, is the breakout star.

Whoever created a fake 'Simpsons' image, falsely suggesting the show predicted Donald Trump would be assassinated is drawing the ire of the show's head honcho, who calls it a sick move.

The drama kicked off shortly after Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on the ex-Prez -- a social media user posted a doctored animated image of Trump from "The Simpsons," showing him in a casket with the caption, "First time I've seen a 'Simpsons' prediction fail."

Now, this entire premise is based on misinformation (more on that in a minute) ... but "The Simpsons" showrunner Matt Selman is still slamming the image in the strongest possible terms.

Savannah Chrisley is all set to speak at the Republican National Convention Tuesday -- now, we have a sense of what she's gonna say ... her speech will touch on her parents.

The reality star tells TMZ ... she's gonna torch the Department of Justice here in a little bit during her spotlight at the RNC in Milwaukee -- specifically, to call them "corrupt" and slam how they handled Todd and Julie Chrisley's criminal tax case a couple years back.

Savannah says she believes, if re-elected, Donald Trump will right these wrongs -- and she's going to tie her parents' conviction to what she characterizes as the weaponization of the DOJ.

The classic winning formula "Big Brother" has implemented for years is getting a facelift this season -- 'cause you won't be able to hit rewind anymore ... and fans are pissed.

Paramount+ dropped the news on their streaming site -- noting archives and flashbacks won’t be available for the live feed on Season 26 of their long-running CBS reality show -- but they've told fans they could still catch all the live feed action on four different cameras.

The only catch ... they'll have to do it in real time, so if you miss something -- tough!

"Dance Moms" star Christi Lukasiak is facing a DUI charge after a violent car crash ... TMZ has learned.

We obtained the police report -- the reality star was busted in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania after cops say she crashed her vehicle into a tree. The wreck, which happened on June 27, left a telephone pole hanging over Christi's car.

Cops say she exhibited all the classic DUI signs ... bloodshot and glassy eyes, slurred speech and the officer on the scene reported the smell of alcohol on Christi's breath.

The alleged Gilgo Beach killer has been charged with the deaths of 6 people -- but many believe the body count is way higher, which begs the question of a possible police coverup.

TMZ Studios' new series, "Strange & Suspicious," dives into weird and unexplained stories -- and here, we’re looking into whether cops may have swept things under the rug in the years-long case ... especially since human remains of 11 different people were found in the area between 1993-2011.

The team dives deep into this ... noting Rex Heuermann also owned places in South Carolina and Las Vegas, the latter being a hot spot for sex workers -- exactly the kind of victims he's accused of killing. So, the fact he allegedly murdered only 6 victims on Long Island doesn't hold up, at least that's how some of the 'S & S' crew feel.

Shannen Doherty settled her divorce with one ex-husband of hers -- but another is now weighing in on her untimely passing ... and he's heaping praise on her as a partner.

Ashley Hamilton -- who was married to SD from '93 to '94 -- tells TMZ he's heartbroken by his ex-wife's death ... and despite the fact they were only man and wife for about a year, he remembers her fondly as someone who was in his corner during a difficult chapter.

AH says, "Shannen was not only my wife, she was my guardian angel. Even though things don’t always work out the way we hope they will, she stood by my side during some of my darkest times. My love and admiration for her lasted far longer than our short-lived marriage."
