We're told the reunion is not a full series pickup -- either a one-time special or just a couple episodes -- and will have a documentary feel.

Our sources say the special will be the first of several, reuniting casts from various popular shows that aired back in the day.

Snooki posted pics of herself and her female co-stars out and about last week in Jersey with the apt caption, "Reunion Time."

Now we know.

An "America's Got Talent" champ was arrested this week for domestic violence after he allegedly attacked his baby mama with a golf club.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. -- who won season 6 of 'AGT' -- was arrested Monday night in Whitman, West Virginia for misdemeanor domestic battery and domestic assault.

We're told they got into it when he told her he was leaving her ... which escalated into an argument about who would care for their 6-month-old baby. That's when Landau allegedly started slapping her and then struck her under her left eye with a golf club. The brawl spilled outside, where he allegedly slammed her head on the sidewalk.

Lena Dunham made a difficult and painful, but ultimately correct choice to relocate the terrier mix she'd rescued ... at least according to the people who tried to treat the dog's aggressive behavior.

Lena's been catching heat from BARC, the Brooklyn animal shelter where she adopted Lamby. BARC was pissed to find out she no longer has the pooch ... which she says she had to give away due to behavioral issues. The shelter denies he was aggressive, calling him as "mild-mannered and very well behaved."

To be clear ... Lena didn't abandon Lamby altogether. Instead, she sent him to THE ZEN DOG in L.A., which specializes in working with dogs with behavior issues. The facility's owner, Matt Beisner, says Lamby would get scared and then aggressive every time someone tried touching his neck or head. He says they treated him for more than year, and during that time he bit 3 staff members ... drawing blood each time.

Beisner says he doesn't think BARC saw Lamby's true colors. He says it's common for dogs to act differently inside shelters, and stands by Lena's decision. He adds ... one of his former staffers ended up adopting Lamby, and the dog is doing much better now.

It's clear, Lena was very torn about relocating her dog. She set the record straight after BARC and animal rights groups lashed out and accused her of animal cruelty.

Odell Beckham got all sorts of love at UCLA on Thursday after an intense summer workout on the Bruins' intramural fields ... but ya gotta watch the exit, when the NFL star hops fence like a ninja warrior.

After the workout, Odell invited the crowd over for a massive Instagram photo sesh -- where he signed autographs, shook hands and just bro'd out with the fans.

But the best part is when it's time to leave ... and Odell decides to jump the fence with his Giants helmet on.

Dude's a freak athlete.

7:30 PM PT -- A rep for Floyd Mayweather wants to make it clear that the boxer has NO affiliation with "The Mayweather Experience."

The workouts do go down at Mayweather's gym ... but the rep says Floyd makes no money off the camp, and has absolutely no involvement in its operation.

Floyd Mayweather's private Vegas boxing gym has opened its doors for normies -- like you -- to train with Floyd's REAL boxing team ... but it ain't for the poor.

It's called "The Mayweather Experience" -- and for $650 a pop, regular people will get their hands wrapped by Floyd's guys, step into Floyd's ring and hit the mitts with Floyd's dad, Mayweather Sr.

It's essentially a 2-hour fantasy camp for Mayweather-aholics to see if they can make it through TBE's legendary grueling workouts.

Got rich friends? Mayweather's gym is offering training camp packages for groups -- a 6-some will run you $3,500.

We're told Floyd's team has been offering the workout for about a month so far and it's been going great.

The Baton Rouge Police Dept. tells TMZ Sports ... there is no probable cause to arrest LSU linebacker Jacob Phillips for rape due to "several inconsistencies" in the accuser's story.

We broke the story ... Phillips -- a highly recruited linebacker -- was investigated for sexual assault following allegations from a female LSU student athlete.

We've confirmed cops were called to a Baton Rouge hospital on June 11 to respond to the accuser -- who claims she was sexually assaulted by Phillips early that morning.

The case was investigated -- and at this point, Phillips has neither been arrested or charged with a crime.

Now, Baton Rouge PD Sgt. McKneely has issued a statement on the case ... telling TMZ Sports, "Due to several inconsistencies in the victim's narrative/disclosures and a lack of cooperation concerning evidence and further interview there was no probable cause for arrest found at this time."

We spoke with the accuser who is not backing down from the claims -- and says it's the police who aren't cooperating with her.

Jesse Williams' hopes for an amicable divorce just went down the toilet ... he's now in a nasty custody fight with his estranged wife.

The "Grey's Anatomy" star filed docs saying he went above and beyond to informally handle custody issues with Aryn Drake-Lee. Jesse filed for divorce back in April and we were told things were civil. But Jesse says it's now turned into a legal war.

In docs obtained by TMZ, Jesse's asking to get more time with 3-year-old Sadie and 2-year-old Maceo, claiming Aryn only lets him see them shy of 3 hours a day and she refuses to allow sleepovers.

Jesse says he rented a home less than 3 miles from Aryn's home so he could be close to the kids. To prove he's a hands-on dad, Jesse listed their nicknames and their favorite food -- mac & cheese for "Sadie Munchkin" and "anything we put in front of 'Mace.'"

As we reported, the sisters removed the t-shirt line completely on Thursday -- after getting a similar threat from the estate of Notorious B.I.G. -- and apologized for offending all artists included on the tees including Ozzy Osbourne, Pink Floyd, Tupac and of course, The Doors.

Tarek El Moussa's new crib is no flip or flop ... it's a newly constructed home in one of Newport Beach's most sought-after neighborhoods that's costing him $15k a month.

Tarek's been renting the 4 bedroom, 2 bath waterfront home on the Balboa Peninsula since October, a few months before he filed for divorce from his "Flip or Flop" co-star and wife, Christina.

It's a pretty cool spot steps from the beach with great outdoor space for entertaining and enjoying the ocean breeze ... especially from the rooftop deck. Another bonus -- it's a good 30 miles away from where he and Christina lived.
