Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan -- the president of TNA Wrestling -- is having a nasty falling out with his boss ... suing the wrestling company and filing for a restraining order against the owner.

Jessica Simpson almost ruined Tony Romo's NFL career -- but he saved himself when he dumped her and ended their "tumultuous relationship" back in 2009 ... so says Skip Bayless.

Donald Trump was recorded in 1992 joking about a little girl who was walking past him ... "I'll be dating her in 10 years. Can you believe it?"

The Entertainment Tonight video was just released on CBS News. You can't see Trump in the video, which was recorded around Christmas time inside Trump Tower. CBS says he was looking at a group of 10-year-olds walking past him when he made the comment, and you see the group of girls on a nearby escalator right after the comment.

It appears ET, which is owned by CBS Television, went digging through their archives in the wake of the "Access Hollywood" tape ... and this is what they found.

So, we gotta ask ...

Heavyweight boxing champ Tyson Fury has voluntarily vacated his WBO, WBA and IBO titles so he can "fully focus on his medical treatment and recovery" ... so says a rep for the fighter.

In a statement issued by Fury's marketing team, Hennessy Sports -- they never mention cocaine specifically ... but they do make reference to a "serious medical condition."

"[Vacating the belts] will also allow him the time and space to fully recover from his present condition without any undue pressure and with the expert medical attention he requires and his close family support."

Fury failed two drug tests leading up to his fight with Wladimir Klitschko -- both tested positive for cocaine -- and Fury later admitted he's had a ton of blow over the years.

"I feel that it is only fair and right and for the good of boxing to keep the titles active and allow the other contenders to fight for the vacant belts that I proudly won and held as the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world when I defeated the long-standing champion Wladimir Klitschko," Tyson said in the statement.

Colin Kaepernick says he's disappointed in Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's criticism of his national anthem protest ... saying it's just another example of a white person dodging the "real issue."

As we previously reported, RBG said Kaep's protest was "dumb and disrespectful" and she takes issue with his point of view.

But in a locker room interview with reporters on Tuesday, Kaepernick responded -- "It is disappointing to hear a Supreme Court Justice call a protest against injustices and oppression ‘stupid, dumb’ in reference to players doing that."

"I was reading an article and it refers to white critique of black protests and how they try to delegitimize it by calling it ‘idiotic, dumb, stupid,’ things of that nature, so they can sidestep the real issue."

"As I was reading that I saw more and more truth how this has been approached by people in power and white people in power in particular."

Kaepernick also said people are "getting too caught up in the flag" ... adding, "At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth and I am not going to value a piece of cloth over people’s lives."

2:05 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources in Cincinnati tell us they've also made contact with Broner and confirmed he's ok.

Good news on the Adrien Broner front ... his fiancee says the boxer is okay ... despite some disturbing posts in which he hinted that he was going to take his own life.

Arie Nicole -- aka Miss Louiebags -- went to Snapchat and posted a message moments ago that simply read, "Adrien is okay."

We also spoke with some of Broner's friends who say the boxer has been taking their calls and they're confident he's safe and in a better place now.

As we previously reported, Broner went to social media and posted a photo of a gun and suggested he was going to commit suicide.

SHE'S BACK!!!

Ronda Rousey will finally make her return to the Octagon in December -- when she fights Amanda Nunes for the womens bantamweight title at UFC 207 in Las Vegas.

Dana White just made the announcement on "The Herd" on FS1 -- and says she's good to go on Dec. 30th.

Ronda hasn't fought since losing to Holly Holm at UFC 193 in Nov. 2015.

Dana said Ronda had a "bad loss and lost her title but she's still Ronda Rousey at the end of the day."

Dana says Ronda's in a good place psychologically.

By the way, Nunes called out Rousey back in July -- saying she can't wait to beat Ronda's ass so she can prove to everyone she DESERVES to be the champ.

White says Ronda also wants to fight Cris "Cyborg" at some point down the line -- as he previously told TMZ Sports. But first, she wants to win her title back.

LeBron James is going hard after Donald Trump -- saying the GOP nominee is WAYYY OFF on "locker room talk" because "we don't disrespect women in no shape or fashion."

No mistrial in the Derrick Rose civil rape case ... the judge just ruled the case will move forward despite claims the accuser hid important text messages from the defense.

As we previously reported, the judge scolded the accuser's legal team in court Tuesday for allegedly withholding texts that could've helped Derrick Rose's case.

The judge had previously said he didn't want to declare a mistrial because the case would likely be brought again in the middle of the NBA season and severely inconvenience him.

But Rose's team did get a minor victory in court Wednesday.

Gabrielle Union claims she is getting screwed into doing way more episodes of her hit BET show than she agreed to do in a single season ... and for a much lower price.

Union claims in a new lawsuit, BET is cramming 20 episodes of "Being Mary Jane" into Season 4 instead of splitting them into two seasons. Problem is she says network execs repeatedly promised her there would never be more than 13 episodes in a season. Plus, Gabby says her contract clearly states she gets a pay raise from $150k per episode to $165k per episode in Season 5.

In her lawsuit she also says BET's trying to cut corners on production cost by doing the ole 2-for-1.

Although, Union admits her contract allows for a maximum of 26 episodes per season -- she says that was merely a standard clause of all Viacom contracts, and again ... BET orally promised they'd never have the dough to shoot that many.

Gloria Allred is on a mission to get MGM TV Pres. Mark Burnett to release "The Apprentice" tapes -- which purportedly show more offensive comments from Donald Trump -- and she took her demands right to MGM's front door.

Allred and several other feminist leaders read their demands to Burnett Tuesday afternoon outside the studio's Bev Hills offices. She says she's been inundated with calls from women who claim they witnessed way more "locker room talk" on 'Apprentice' sets than what came out on the "Access Hollywood" tape with Billy Bush.

As we first reported ... MGM has said it can't legally release the footage due to confidentiality agreements -- but Allred says she wants to meet with MGM's attorneys face-to-face to discuss the legal restrictions.

Allred and co.'s argument is this -- whatever Trump said while shooting "The Apprentice" is relevant to whether he's fit to lead the nation.

Sad news from the bayou ... LSU's beloved live tiger mascot Mike VI has died following a 4 month battle with cancer.

The school announced the 11-year-old Bengali-Siberian tiger was "humanely euthanized" Tuesday morning after entering hospice care at his "night house" on the LSU campus.

Mike was diagnosed with a rare form of incurable cancer back in May -- and developed a tumor bigger than a baseball behind his eye that specialists say would have eventually killed him.

LSU says Mike's caretakers kept a close watch during his final hours to make sure he did not suffer.

Jim Carrey has been slapped with a lawsuit by the mother of his ex-girlfriend, claiming she OD'd after she realized he had given her 3 STDs and when she confronted him he dumped her.

Cathriona White's mom, Brigid Sweetman, claims in a new lawsuit ... Jim did more than just infect her. The suit alleges he shamed her by calling her a "whore" and threatened her with the help of "fixers" who tried to silence her.

Sweetman says in the suit her daughter learned from a doctor in 2013 she had contracted 2 types of herpes and chlamydia. Sweetman says Carrey was first dismissive and then claimed she contracted any disease she might have from someone else.

The mom says when her daughter persisted, Carrey ended the relationship and said, "You have become too much drama."

According to the lawsuit, the "fixers" scared her daughter into silence. The suit claims Cathriona struggled emotionally before OD'ing on Ambien, Propranolol and Percocet. The drugs were allegedly Carrey's ... the prescription filled under a pseudonym.

We reached out to Carrey's people ... so far no comment.

The judge in the Derrick Rose rape trial just warned that he may declare a mistrial in the case -- over allegations the accuser's team did NOT turn over text messages that could help the NBA star.

The judge just ripped the accuser's attorney in court -- demanding the accuser prove she made an effort to turn over ALL of the text messages that were relevant to the case.

Rose's lawyer claims she purposefully withheld certain texts that may prove the sex in question was consensual ... and not rape.

The judge warned the accuser, "This is not a trivial matter" -- and has ordered the accuser's team to provide proof the texts were made available to Rose's team.

However, the judge says he would rather not declare a mistrial because it would likely mean the case would restart in the middle of the NBA season -- which would force Rose to miss games.

The judge said he would make the same considerations in a new trial if the accuser was a student and it would interfere with exams.

Ex-NFL star Greg Hardy says he's transitioning from football to MMA -- and plans to take a REAL heavyweight fight in 2017.

Hardy spoke with MMAFighting.com and said, "I'm very focused and excited to start my MMA career."

"I'm going to do this the right way, I can assure you of that."

The 28-year-old was regarded as one of the best defensive players in the NFL before a series of off the field issues derailed his career ... including a domestic violence conviction (which was eventually dismissed) and a drug arrest.

Hardy's camp says he currently weighs around 285 lbs and should fight as a heavyweight in 2017.

Shailene Woodley was arrested for criminal trespass while protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline ... law enforcement tells TMZ.

The 'Divergent' star was busted Monday morning for trespassing during what she called a "peaceful protest" in Sioux County, North Dakota. About 100 protesters were on a construction site for the controversial pipeline project before cops moved in and put handcuffs on Shailene.

Shailene was arrested for 2 misdemeanors ... including engaging in a riot. Cops tell us they issued multiple warnings for the protesters to leave. 27 protesters were ultimately arrested.

The planned pipeline affects sacred Standing Rock Sioux land and burial grounds. On Sunday, a Federal appeals court rejected their request to stop the construction ... which sparked the protest.
