Fans of "Love & Hip Hop: New York" will be ecstatic to hear the show's coming back, but day-one diehards will really love the fact some season 1 faves are returning too.

You heard right ... season 10 is actually being shot right now in Brooklyn, according to our sources, and we also got word on who's been involved. The list includes some OG cast members from seasons 1, 2, 3, 4 and an assortment of new couples and exes that looks like an all-star roster:

-- Joe Budden and Cyn Santana (They're broken up now, but will be featured regardless.)

-- Juelz Santana and Kimbella Vanderhee (Kimbella was also on season 2.)

-- Yandy Smith-Harris and Juju C. (She's been there from the beginning, and Juju since season 8.)

-- Safaree and Erica Mena (They're engaged now, and Mena hasn't been on since season 8.)

-- Jonathan Fernandez, Rich Dollaz, Danny Garcia and Erica Mendez

-- Tahiry Jose's back from seasons 3 & 4. Singer Jennaske is being intro'd for the first time.

Now, here are the big fish that back in the mix -- Jim Jones, Chrissy Lampkin and Somaya Reece. Sorry for those who wanted to see Cardi B back, but as we all know ... she's on to bigger things.

Kendall Jenner is just like the rest of us, she orders from Postmates and she loves sushi ... but we're pretty sure she opens up her wallet juuuust a bit more than you. Okay, a LOT more!!!

Kendall is one of Postmates' most dedicated customers ... because the company tells us she started getting deliveries way back in 2015 and she's since dropped more than $10,000!!!

The supermodel's placed orders across 14 cities, getting the goods from 95 different businesses, and her 5 most expensive orders have all come from the same spot ... Matsuhisa.

Kendall loves the sushi joint so much, she's racked up a $1,219 Postmates bill from the restaurant alone, and her largest Matsuhisa order came in at just under $600!!!

But, sushi isn't the only thing on Kendall's plate. Other cravings include Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Mexican and Italian food. Kendall's top 5 dishes -- crispy rice with spicy tuna, chicken breast power plate, pad thai, chicken protein plate and orange chicken.

Deep breath Pats fans, the drama around Antonio Brown will NOT derail New England's season ... so says Super Bowl MVP Deion Branch.

Branch had 2 stints with the Pats ('02-'05, '10-'12) and won 2 Super Bowls with Brady, Belichick and Kraft ... so he knows the organization inside and out and he's confident the legendary coach knows how to handle controversy.

"Everything starts with Bill," Branch says. "It starts with your leader on the team. Coach Belichick, out of all the years he's been coaching and been a part of numerous different organizations, trust me, this ain't the first time something like this has came up with some of his players. He will do what's best for the organization, that we all know."

As we previously reported, Brown -- in a lawsuit in Florida -- was accused of sexually assaulting and raping a woman on 3 occasions. AB adamantly DENIES the allegations.

On the football field, the Pats had a DOMINANT week 1 performance -- thrashing the Steelers 33-3 -- and Antonio didn't even suit up.

This toothless, blonde kid grew up to become a talented entertainer with two Emmys and a New York Times bestselling author title on his resume. He was born in Salt Lake City and at 12 years old moved to London, where he lived until he was 22.

He ultimately landed his major role on "Dancing with the Stars." He's the show's only 6-time champion, which you might expect from a world champion of Latin and ballroom dancing.

This kid also has a famous sister. He parlayed his dancing career into acting ... with a role in "Nashville." He also starred with Jennifer Hudson, Ariana Grande and Martin Short for NBC's "Hairspray Live!"

Anson Williams -- famous for playing Potsie Weber on "Happy Days" -- apparently is no longer happy with his marriage ... because he just filed for divorce.

According to court records, Anson filed for divorce from his wife, Jackie Williams, Wednesday after 30 years of marriage. It's unclear what led to the split.

Anson and Jackie tied the knot back way back in 1988, and they have 5 children together.

It's the second divorce for Anson ... he was previously married to Lorrie Mahaffey for 8 years from 1978 to 1986, before breaking things off.

Anson rose to fame on "Happy Days" playing Potsie, the gullible singer ... and for his role he was nominated for the Golden Globe award for best supporting actor.

He later became a big time TV director, working on huge shows like "Melrose Place," "Beverly Hills, 90210," "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," and "Lizzie McGuire."

Ben Stiller wants America to get something out of this 18th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks that it hasn't had in several years ... and that is the unity we all felt after that tragic day.

We got the actor Wednesday in his native NYC, and he shared what the day means for him ... even after all these years. Ben tried hard to describe how New Yorkers processed the terrorist attack, but he struggled to find the right words.

One thing he did make clear was how the city's residents came together to heal -- just as the rest of the country did too.

Ben said there's a lesson to be learned from what we all felt back then, and he urged 2019 America to be more like the nation it was in late 2001. There's just one major hurdle, in Ben's eyes, but he believes we can overcome it ... IF President Trump starts leading the way.

Kevin Hart is out of the hospital, TMZ has learned, and he's now at a live-in rehab facility doing intense physical therapy to recover from his car crash injuries and surgery.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us, Kevin is "glad" to get out of the L.A. hospital he's called home for 10 days. He has a positive attitude, saying, "I'm grateful to be alive."

He's at the rehab joint right now, and the goal we're told is to get him home "as soon as possible," where he can start outpatient care.

Realistically, our sources say he's looking at around a week -- more or less -- at the live-in facility.

Daniel Franzese says it's time to usher in a new season of celebrating bigger gay dudes -- on the heels of Hot Girl Summer -- because it's long overdue, especially in showbiz!!!

The "Mean Girls" actor was leaving LAX Tuesday, where we asked about a recent social media clip of him diving into a pool shirtless. Daniel's captioned it, "Reclaiming my childhood spent wearing a shirt in the pool growing up in Florida. Not giving a F**K what people think feels so good."

Daniel broke down the post for us, and said it was about more than body positivity -- it was about getting heavier-set gay men off the sidelines.

He says gay men in the media are often portrayed as trim, fit and with a certain look, but he says he's living proof gay comes in all sizes ... and all deserve some visibility.

Or, as Daniel put it on IG, "It's #bigboysummer and soaking up every last minute until #bigandtallfall. #BellyOutchallenge."

He tells us if bigger people were featured more often on TV and the big screen, he'd probably be working a lot more, and the way folks view fat people would change for the better.

Jerry Jones and Roger Goodell should have a stern talking with DeMarcus Lawrence over his interaction with a little New York Giants fan ... this according to the boy's father.

11-year-old Kamil Bautista made headlines earlier this week after video surfaced of Lawrence -- a Dallas Cowboys superstar -- blowing off his autograph request because he was wearing a Saquon Barkley jersey.

In the video, you can see Lawrence give Kamil a sideways look, and tell him straight-up, "Get the right jersey, son!"

TMZ Sports spoke with Kamil's father, Jorge Bautista, and he told us the situation at AT&T Stadium really sucked ... saying he didn't think the way Lawrence reacted to his son was right.

In fact, Jorge says he believes DeMarcus' bosses need to sit the 6-foot-3, 265-pound pass rusher down and explain to him he can't act that way around fans.

"I've got employees," says Jorge, a Giants fan who works in a tennis shop in McAllen, Texas ... "If my employees say something wrong to a customer, I'd be like, 'Hey, that's not right. You gotta be humble. You gotta be polite to people.'"

Jorge says he's not mad over the fact that DeMarcus didn't sign for his son ... he claims there were several other Cowboys -- including Randall Cobb and Jaylon Smith -- who did the same.

But, Jorge's beef stems from the way Lawrence reacted to Kamil ... saying, "You've got my son who has the guts to approach you with his New York Giants fan, and you disrespect him like that?"

"I was like, man, I don't think that was right."

Jorge says he hasn't heard anything from the Dallas Cowboys or the New York Giants over the incident ... but two organizations have reached out to try to help massage the situation.

We're told Overtime Athletics US is donating a signed Saquon Barkley jersey to Kamil ... while an anti-bullying organization has also sent the Bautistas a message.

Felicity Huffman wants to make it clear to the judge sentencing her -- what she did in the college case didn't hurt anyone, and therefore there's no precedent to put her in prison for even a day.

Sources directly familiar with Felicity's case tell TMZ ... the "Desperate Housewives" actress and her defense team have 2 arguments for her to spend no time behind bars, despite prosecutors recommending a 1-month sentence.

We're told Felicity and co. are pointing to the Probation Department's findings that she should get as little as zero months, because nobody suffered any loss due to her actions. You'll recall, Felicity pled guilty to conspiracy charges for paying $15k to give her daughter a leg up on her college entry exam.

Obviously, Felicity agrees with that "no loss" argument put forth by the probation department. However, in new court docs obtained by TMZ, she also says the prosecution is drawing unfair comparisons between her and other defendants in the case.

According to team Felicity ... the prosecution has cited 2 dozen old cases in which prison time was often handed down to the ring leaders. Felicity says she wasn't the big fish in this scheme, and shouldn't be sentenced like one. In short, she was just a customer of Rick Singer, not a mastermind of his plot.

She cites one case the prosecution is attempting to use as precedent ... where a guy got prison time for hacking a university's system. Felicity says that's an apples to oranges comparison.

Bottom line ... Felicity is hoping the judge recognizes she didn't harm anyone -- especially because her kid didn't even end up attending college this year.

Phaedra Parks is jumping back into reality TV, but instead of sniping at housewives ... she'll be sniping at her BF on 'Marriage Boot Camp.'

Sources close to production tell TMZ ... Phaedra's already started shooting episodes. She'll be featured with actor Medina Islam, who she's been dating for several months.

We're told Phaedra and Medina's issues center around her desire to move from Atlanta to Los Angeles with her kids, so she can be closer to Medina. You get the picture ... are they ready to shack up together, and what's the next step in their relationship?

Phaedra hasn't had a regular TV gig since her long run on 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' came to an end. As we first reported, she was booted from 'RHOA' after season 9.

Tekashi 6ix9ine will be testifying in front of pretty much everyone except those to whom he's closest -- his family -- because we've learned they're so scared of retaliation, they won't go near the courtroom.

The rapper's immediate family members have decided it's just too risky for them to show their faces when a trial begins for the two men who allegedly had a role in his kidnapping last year. The reason is simple ... Tekashi will be snitching, and they know what happens to snitches.

The fam is especially concerned about members of the Nine Trey Bloods, some of whom will be attending the trial.

We're told his family thinks, at the very least, they'd be harassed, but more likely followed back to their home ... or even outright attacked by Nine Trey members.

Remember, Tekashi was already scared for his family's lives -- despite hiring extra security to guard them -- and it looks like he's following through on that concern now that the day is right around the corner.

As we reported ... prosecutors laid out what Tekashi's going to say on the stand next week, when he'll supposedly name names, connect people to certain incriminating messages ... and implicate himself and other Nine Trey Bloods to a plot on hurting rival rapper Casanova.

Presumably, he'll also get into detail about how he was bankrolling his fellow gang members -- something prosecutors revealed in court docs.

There's obviously a lot on the line ... and Tekashi wants to protect his brood. So, he's going in solo come crunch time.

Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino better carb-load before he gets outta prison this week ... 'cause his wife's hinting at what she's got in store for him, and it might be pretty physical.

The 'Jersey Shore' star's wife, Lauren Sorrentino, was out Wednesday in NJ, and a pap asked about any special plans she has for Thursday. That's when Mike gets released from prison after serving an 8-month sentence for tax evasion.

Remember, they got married last November and only had about 2 months to live as husband and wife before he checked into prison. They tied the knot at the ritzy Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains, NJ in front of family, friends ... and, of course, the whole 'Jersey Shore' gang too.

Fast-forward to now, seems Mike's 'GTL' sessions will have to take a backseat to Mrs. Sitch's plans ... cause she's ready for LOTS of quality time.

Read into that what you will. It's been a long time coming.

Cops in Miami and Hollywood, FL, as well as Pittsburgh, PA, tell TMZ Sports they have NO records of Antonio Brown's rape accuser ever filing a criminal complaint with officers.

A woman named Britney Taylor alleges the NFL superstar sexually assaulted her twice in the Pittsburgh area in 2017 ... and claims Brown raped her in the Miami area in 2018.

When we spoke with officials from the Hollywood Police Department in Florida -- where Brown has a residence -- they told us they have no records of a complaint ever filed by Taylor.

A spokesperson from the Department of Public Safety in Pittsburgh says they have no records of a complaint either, adding, there are "no active investigations into" Brown at this time.

As for the Miami-Dade Police Department, a spokesperson there tells us, "The Special Victims Bureau does not have any records of a sexual assault reported by the alleged victim, nor any reports where Antonio Brown is subject."

Of course, none of this means a crime DIDN'T happen ... rather, it simply means Taylor did NOT go to police prior to filing a civil lawsuit against Brown in federal court Tuesday.

We reached out to Taylor's attorneys multiple times about the situation, but so far, no word back.

For his part, Brown has denied all of the allegations against him ... with his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, saying Wednesday, "These allegations are false. [Brown] denies every one of them."

Rosenhaus added, "I am very confident that his legal team has facts that will prove this."

T. Boone Pickens -- the super charismatic billionaire known as the "Oracle of Oil" -- has died at age 91, a spokesperson confirms.

Pickens reportedly died peacefully Wednesday of natural causes at his home in Texas.

You may know T. Boone for being one of the successful oil tycoons in history. You may know him for the BILLIONS he donated to charity.

And, if you're a college football fan, you might know him because the stadium at Oklahoma State University is NAMED after him! In fact, over the years, T. Boone raved about OSU to TMZ Sports!

He told us back in the day the best part of having a stadium named after him is "I'll always have a seat!"

Pickens made his fortune in energy -- he started working in oil after graduating from OSU in 1951 (with a degree in geology) and ultimately built Mesa Petroleum, which he grew into one of the largest gas and oil companies in the U.S. He became a BILLIONAIRE in the '80s.

He later honed his talents as a corporate raider -- and made TONS of money buying out companies. In 1996, he started BP Capital Management, which was also wildly successful.

As for his philanthropic work, he reportedly donated more $1 BILLION to various causes during his lifetime.

Pickens famously donated more than $500 MIL to Oklahoma State -- and the funds were almost evenly divided between OSU's athletics and academics.

Another interesting note ... Pickens had pledged to donate 90% of his net worth to charity upon his death.

Nobody knows exactly how much Pickens was worth -- or where the funds will go -- but should be VERY interesting to see how that shakes out.

He's survived by 5 children, 11 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. Pickens had been married 5 times during his lifetime ... but was not married when he died. He had reportedly been rekindling his relationship with wife #3 Nelda toward the end of his life.

Pickens was also famous for being a host to the most powerful people in the world at his 65,000-acre ranch in Texas ... including George W. Bush, Nancy Reagan, Dick Cheney, Ted Turner and more.

Pickens also penned his 1987 biography, "Boone," and 2008's "The First Billion is the Hardest."

Nipsey Hussle's estate might need to cough up some cheddar to a songwriter who claims he collaborated with Nip on his last album ... but never got paid.

Bradley Davis filed a claim Tuesday against the estate claiming he, along with 2 others, teamed up in 2013 to write the music that would eventually be used in "Rap Ni**as." The track is featured on Nipsey's major label debut album, "Victory Lap," which dropped in February 2018.

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Davis says he copyrighted his work in December 2017. Fast-forward to when the album dropped ... Davis claims Nipsey never got permission to use his work. Davis also claims no royalties were ever paid to him or the other 2 composers.

Davis doesn't say how much he's owed but it's clear he thinks the estate owes him something. For what it's worth ... creditors claims against the estate must be filed within 4 months of an executor being named.
