Finally some good news for "Pawn Stars" star Rick Harrison in a difficult year ... he's found himself in a brand-spankin' new relationship -- this nearly 4 years after his divorce.

Sources close to the reality star tell TMZ .. he's dating a Vegas nurse named Angie Polushkin -- who, at 41, is 18 years younger than him.

Breathe easy, 49ers fans ... Brandon Aiyuk says in spite of all the drama with his contract this offseason, he still wants to be in a San Francisco uniform in 2024.

The star wideout -- who's entering the final season of his rookie deal -- made it clear to TMZ Sports out at LAX on Friday that he's ready to suit up yet again for Kyle Shanahan ... even though he and the team have not yet agreed on a new extension.

"For sure," Aiyuk told us at the airport. "For sure!"

Brian Ortega stepped into the UFC 303 co-main event on two weeks' notice ... and some have called the decision reckless and potentially costly for the MMA star. So, why'd T-City accept the fight? TMZ Sports asked him.

"At this point it just becomes about having fun with my career. Taking the craziest fights now, and this is one of them, right?" 33-year-old Ortega told us.

"Two weeks notice, save 303, checklist. That's something that gets me excited, gives me nerves. Makes me feel alive again. Makes me feel like a young up-and-comer."

If you're wondering why there will be a bunch Pirates fans suddenly rockin' Paul Skenes and Jared Jones '24 shirts at PNC Park next month ... it's no doubt in part due to Livvy Dunne, who's made the tee a must-have item after wearing it to a game last weekend.

The LSU star gymnast -- who's Skenes' girlfriend -- sported the shirt while at Paul's big June 23 matchup against the Tampa Bay Rays ... and the folks who created it, Baseball Dugout LLC, tell TMZ Sports sales of the garment have exploded since.

We're told that after Dunne showed off the black and gold 'fit on her social media pages ... there was about a 1,400 percent increase in sales!

Seth Binzer -- the lead singer of Crazy Town -- was homeless in the months preceding his death -- according to his friend and sober coach Tim Ryan ... who tells us he was helping Binzer on his sobriety journey over the last few years.

As we reported ... the L.A. County Medical Examiner said Binzer - aka Shifty Shellshock -- died Monday at an L.A. home. According to Tim, Binzer was living in a tent in downtown L.A.'s McArthur Park, after bouncing from house to house following a recent relapse.

He tells us his wife, Jennifer Gimenez from "Celebrity Rehab" ... received a call last week informing her of Seth's whereabouts and Tim was planning to fly to L.A. to help locate Seth in the park and get him back into treatment ... but sadly, it was too late.

Ian Garry is a few days away from making the walk against Michael Page at UFC 303 ... and despite Venom's resume, the Irish star sounded as confident as ever during a recent convo with TMZ Sports.

26-year-old Garry previewed his upcoming match against former Bellator star, MVP ... and while many people may consider Page a legend, Ian very clearly isn't impressed with Michael's work in the cage.

In fact, when asked how he would handle MVP's unique style in the Octagon, Garry did not hold back!

Omarosa is blasting Donald Trump for having the audacity to claim illegal immigrants are taking away "Black jobs" ... and says he owes voters some explanation for what he meant.

Trump's former 'Apprentice' ally tells TMZ ... his remarks at the debate about "Black jobs" and "Hispanic jobs" were totally insane. Like millions of people watching Thursday night, she says she was left wondering what exactly those terms signify to the former president.

As far as Omarosa is concerned, the only exclusively Black job she can remember in America is slavery ... which has her thinking Trump might have let some racism slip there by throwing it back 400 years.

Michael Lohan ain't holding back about his estranged wife, Kate Major -- this after she was arrested in Texas following their heated confrontation in the middle of the road.

A rep for the Kimble County Sheriff's Office tells TMZ ... Kate was arrested and booked Friday at 11 am for violation of a protection order.

Michael explained to us why he was forced to get cops involved ... referencing the video of the showdown with Kate earlier this week, claiming she wasn't supposed to be in his house or driving the car -- both of which she did.

President Biden's proving he has rappers on speed dial just like Donald Trump does -- recruiting a pair of hip hop legends to help rally his down south supporters!!!

TMZ Hip Hop got this video of Fat Joe and E-40 performing onstage Friday for the prez and First Lady Jill Biden's post-debate rally in Raleigh, NC.

Biden displayed a jolt of energy he didn't have during last night's debate, and it's safe to say, the audience was feeling it.

A biker outlaw legend is weighing in on the new motorcycle club action-drama "The Bikeriders" ... saying people will flock to the life after seeing the flick, but they'd better earn their stripes the right way.

We talked with George Christie -- a former Hells Angels president for the Ventura chapter of the infamous motorcycle club -- and he knows a lot of young men and women will want to join big-name clubs after watching the feature film ... especially because America's obsessed with outlaw culture.

But, if they don't join a club, and just try to wear a Hell's Angels patch ... George says they could encounter big problems -- ranging from a "good ass-chewing to a good ass-kicking."

Polo G's family drama is spilling into the court system -- his mother Stacia Mac just filed for a domestic violence restraining order against her own daughter.

In court docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Stacia points to April 1 -- the day after Easter 2024 -- as the start of the trouble ... when she and her daughter Leilani almost took each other's heads off.

According to the filing, Stacia claims an intoxicated Leilani entered her home without her knowledge, and began attacking her inside her bedroom ... before running around the house destroying as much property as she could.

"Saturday Night Live" star Darrell Hammond isn't laughing about Thursday's presidential debate ... and is instead issuing a very stern warning regarding the country's future.

Darrell famously used to impersonate Donald Trump, Al Gore and Bill Clinton on 'SNL' ... but he told us he saw nothing funny about Thursday night's presidential face-off, calling the whole event sad and potentially dangerous.

This might sound odd coming from Darrell, who lampooned Trump for years, but he says fans should avoid mocking Trump's mannerisms ... because it makes him seem less dangerous.

These days, he thinks voters should take very seriously Trump's prior comments about wanting to become a dictator.

6:04 PM PT -- We obtained additional footage of the incident between Megan Thee Stallion's security and reality star Jonathan Wright ... it appears JW got a lick off to her security guard's face before the bruhaha was broken up.

It's still unclear what exactly caused the physical exchange but like we reported earlier, everything appears to have straightened itself out ... after throwing a couple back at the bar!!!

Megan Thee Stallion found herself playing referee at her own L.A. soiree, because apparently, her security didn't get the memo that Jonathan Wright is gang-gang!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained video from inside MTS' "Megan" album release party, which went down Thursday night at Millwick Event Space in Downtown L.A.

We're told Megan arrived on the scene with her entourage and strutted into the VIP area as her hit collab with GloRilla "Wanna Be" blared in the venue.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says if Joe Biden withdraws from the presidential race and another Democrat steps in, he's prepared to make the same offer he gave Biden ... if that candidate has a better chance of beating Trump, he'll withdraw from the race.

Kennedy appeared Friday on "TMZ Live" and restated his challenge ... if someone like Governor Gavin Newsom, Senator Raphael Warnock, Governor Gretchen Whitmer or Governor Wes Moore snag the nom, he wants an independent poll taken in October. Whoever polls better against Trump will cross the finish line, and the other will withdraw.

Biden never responded to RFK's offer ... which he said wasn't surprising. A different candidate might, however, take him up on the offer to create unity.
