Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump had a "deep" relationship ... all because of their lust for hot models, according to author Michael Wolff.

Wolff addressed the latest controversy engulfing President Trump over his past association with Epstein on his podcast, "Inside Trump's Head," after the House Oversight Committee released a boatload of emails shedding new light on the president's relationship with the late pedophile Wednesday morning.

The 23,000 emails show, in part, how Epstein and Wolff tried to craft a response that would not fully disclose the relationship between Epstein and Trump in 2015, while Trump was running for his first term as president. Another email Epstein wrote in 2011 to his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell references Trump spending hours at Epstein's house with one of Epstein's victims, later identified as Virginia Giuffre. Trump was not a party to any of the emails, so he never responded.

Harrison was handed his pink slip on Tuesday ... an inevitable move nine months after the franchise player was shipped to L.A. in exchange for Anthony Davis.

The actress isn't just known as Vanessa Hudgens' little sister anymore ... not when you look like this.

Rev. Jesse Jackson has been hospitalized as he continues to manage a serious neurodegenerative condition ... the Rainbow PUSH Coalition announced Wednesday.

Jackson was first diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, but his PSP diagnosis was confirmed in April, the group added.

Will Ferrell is taking a brief breather from his new Netflix golf comedy ... 'cause a minor injury has put him on the sidelines ... TMZ has learned.

Production sources tell TMZ ... the actor recently suffered an injury off set, and while it wasn't serious, it was enough to keep him from filming scenes scheduled this week at the Bicycle Casino just outside Los Angeles.

It's unclear exactly how or where Will got hurt, but we're told the issue made it impossible for him to shoot the planned material safely or comfortably this week. Producers have temporarily rearranged the schedule while he recovers.

Blake Lively has even the score this week in her never-ending drama with Justin Baldoni ... a defamation lawsuit filed against her by a crisis PR firm has just been thrown out of court for jurisdictional reasons.

The lawsuit was filed in Texas ... but, according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ, it was dismissed due to a lack of personal jurisdiction. Translation: the judge ruled Wallace didn't establish that the Texas court had the power to deal with the case.

8:12 PM PT -- President Donald Trump late Wednesday signed a bill to reopen the federal government, officially bringing an end to the bruising 43 day shutdown ... the longest the country has ever seen.

The longest federal government shutdown in U.S. history is about to come to an end.

After GOP leaders presented a federal funding bill Wednesday, the measure has now been passed by the legislative branch and now it just needs to be signed by President Donald Trump, effectively reopening the government.

Trump is likely to sign off within the hour.

The full extent of the damage caused by the shutdown is difficult to measure, but this deal comes after millions of Americans reportedly missed food assistance benefits, and many federal employees missed out on paychecks, whether they were working or not.

Disclosure may finally be coming when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein ... the House will vote next week on a resolution demanding the Dept. of Justice release the Epstein Files.

Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters Wednesday he would put the bill on the floor for a full vote.

However, sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Reneé is not engaged. We're told it's simply one of the rings she regularly wears on that finger.

Jen Affleck -- 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' star and recent "Dancing with the Stars" contestant -- is sharing her thoughts on costar Whitney Leavitt's performance in the competition ... telling us her money is actually on hunky wildlife expert Robert Irwin.

We caught up with the cast of Hulu’s hit show as they gear up for a fiery Season 3 -- and when asked if Whitney could take the crown, all eyes were on Jen ... who reveals to us that even though Whitney is the best dancer on the show, she chooses to root for Robert.
