FEEL GOOD STORY OF THE DAY!!!

Holly Robinson Peete says her autistic son, RJ, currently works in the L.A. Dodgers clubhouse ... and it's all thanks to manager Dave Roberts.

"My son has autism," Holly said ... and when Roberts first met RJ, he "treated him just like an amazing kid. Gave him a great job."

RJ is 19 years old -- but when he was a little boy, doctors told Holly he would never talk, have friends, go to school or get a job.

He's done ALL of those things -- thanks to support from incredible people like Dave Roberts.

"He's just the best," Holly said ... "I'm glad he's our manager."

"Dance Moms" star JoJo Siwa doesn't mind a little friendly competition with alum Maddie Ziegler at the moment ... 'cause she thinks they'll be pallin' around under one roof when it's all said and done.

We got the 13-year-old dancer out in Playa Vista Tuesday where she told us she and Maddie will end up being the next Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato.

Here's the thing ... Maddie's already moved on from "Dance Moms" to make waves with top-notch stars like Sia and Kristen Wiig. She was also a judge on this season's 'So You Think You Can Dance.' In short, JoJo's got some catching up to do.

Check out the clip -- JoJo's definitely got Maddie's back. Here's hoping Maddie feels the same way.

There will be NO EIGHTH CHILD for Johnny Damon ... 'cause the ex-MLB star says he just got snipped for the second time ... after his first vasectomy didn't quite hold up.

Kylie Jenner is in the running for StepAlmostMom of the Year after she and Tyga threw a baller Ferrari birthday bash for his son -- but it happened to be a carbon copy of the one Blac Chyna threw.

King really made out for his 4th birthday -- the Sunday party with Kylie and his dad was epic. Ferrari balloons, Ferrari cake, Ferrari plates, horse rides with Ferrari saddles, and a freakin' Ferris wheel!

But King got all the same stuff one day earlier at his mom's house. Seriously, Chyna had almost the exact same Ferrari themed party on Saturday.

Kylie and Chyna really should talk more often.

HOFer Dennis Rodman is one of the greatest rebounders ever ... but he's not even the best hooper in his family ... 'cause Dennis says his son's a "way better" player than him.

TMZ Sports saw Rodman -- a 5x NBA champ -- in L.A. earlier this week ... and asked the "Worm" about his teen son, D.J. Rodman ... who's a beast on the court.

D.J. -- who plays at Corona del Mar H.S. in California -- is only a sophomore. Still, the way Rodman describes his son, the kid's gonna be rockin' an NBA uni one day soon.

Check out the clip!

Uma Thurman's baby daddy doesn't deserve more visitation with their daughter -- because she says he's been a flaky father who has rarely seen the girl.

Sources connected to the case tell TMZ ... when she and ex-fiance Arpad Busson head to court in a few months, Uma will argue Arpad cancels his scheduled time to see their 4-year-old "7 times out of 10."

We're told Arpad is the one who's asking the judge for more time, but our sources say these are just "bullying tactics." Our sources say he gets a significant amount of custodial time currently, yet doesn't come close to taking advantage of it.

Sources say Uma wants to co-parent with Arpad, but only if the agreement is healthy for the whole family.

We're told when it comes to sharing custody, either she or a nanny has to take the child to London or the Bahamas, where he lives, because he won't take the time to pick her up.

On a separate note ... we're told Arpad wants Uma's engagement ring back. But she's gonna fight it because she claims it was gifted outright after the engagement was cancelled.

The kid who's now playing Sofia Vergara's youngest son on "Modern Family" got a fat payday for his first season ... north of $130k.

5-year-old Jeremy Maguire -- starring as Joe Pritchett in season 7 -- signed a deal for $9,000 an episode.

Joe popped up on camera for 15 of the 22 episodes last year, meaning he made $135k. He's also due for a 4% raise each year they bring him back ... and he's already shooting season 8.

Jeremy better enjoy the cash while he can -- producers have recast his character in the past ... so it could happen again.

Brad Pitt will not be prosecuted for the incident on his private jet ... in fact, we've learned there was never an investigation in the first place because FBI sources say there's no case.

TMZ broke the story ... after the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services started its investigation into allegations Brad struck his 15-year-old son on a private jet, the LAPD was notified and turned the matter over to the FBI, which has jurisdiction.

Well-placed law enforcement sources tell us the FBI never opened an investigation, and say the matter should never have even been referred to the agency.

The Bureau's official position is that they are still fact-gathering, though they are not calling it an investigation. Behind the scenes, we're told the case will go nowhere.

As we reported, Maddox suffered no injuries and some witnesses on the jet say Brad's contact with the boy was inadvertent.

Sources connected with Angelina Jolie put it out there that she did not want Brad prosecuted, but the reality is ... that was never going to happen anyway.

DCFS has interviewed family members but, as far as we know, the dept. has taken no action with respect to custody. As we reported, for now Angelina has full physical custody of the couple's 6 kids.

Kim Kardashian is finally back in Los Angeles ... safe and sound with her 2 kids.

Kim cradled Saint -- who's too freakin' adorable -- while her mom, Kris Jenner, carried North off the private jet they took Thursday from NYC to L.A. Looks like Kanye West stayed behind on the east coast ... he's resuming his tour Friday night.

As we first reported, Kim's pulling back on flaunting her wealth -- and she was clearly understated when she touched down.

As much as you can be while stepping off a G4.

First Daughters Malia and Sasha Obama will have starring roles in a wedding where their parents played matchmaker.

Michelle Obama's former assistant, Kristen Jarvis, is getting hitched to President Obama's former secret service agent, Shaun West -- and our White House sources tell us Malia and Sasha will be standing by Kristen's side as bridesmaids.

We're told the couple dropped $300k on a D'Concierge wedding planner ... which means the whole thing is first class and elegant. Entertainment will feature R&B stars Ledisi, Eric Benet and Kenny Lattimore ... as well as DJ B-Hen.

Michelle will be there along with her daughters, but we're told POTUS is not expected to attend.

18-year-old Malia is now 6'1" ... so our money's on her to grab the bouquet.

Paul Johansson's firing back at his baby mama after she got a temporary restraining order against him -- now claiming she gives their child sleeping pills.

The "One Tree Hill" star filed his response to Mercedes Connor's temporary restraining order ... where she claimed he flipped when their 5-year-old son had a food allergy scare. In his docs -- filed by attorney Gary Fishbein -- Johansson says she's the terrible parent because she gave the boy sleeping pills to knock him out at night.

He also told his side of the food allergy fight -- accusing her of being neglectful during the incident. He says Connor was engrossed with her phone while the child suffered, and she only stopped when he demanded she get some medication.

Angelina Jolie will not cooperate with law enforcement if there's a move to file child abuse charges against Brad Pitt ... TMZ has learned.

Our Angelina sources say she's adamant ... Brad should not face criminal charges for getting physical with 15-year-old Maddox on their private jet. We're told she'll go "radio silent" if authorities make a move to build a case against her estranged husband.

We're told Angelina was forthright with the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services, telling social workers Brad struck Maddox (in the face).

Other sources say Brad did not strike his son in the face, but instead lunged at him and Angelina got in the way, causing Brad to inadvertently make contact with the boy's shoulders.

Angelina, we're told, has a singular focus ... protecting her kids, not punishing Brad.

DCFS does have the authority to recommend custody restrictions to the dependency court, although it's looking more and more like it will not reach that stage. Furthermore, given there were no injuries to Maddox and conflicting accounts of what happened, prosecution is also unlikely.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have agreed to a temporary custody deal that was laid down by the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services, and it involves therapists and random drug testing.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us, DCFS has made its recommendations and Brad and Angelina had 2 options ... agree or fight it out in court. We're told they both agreed with DCFS.

Here are the terms of the temporary agreement:

-- Angelina gets temporary physical custody of the 6 kids until Oct 20th.

-- Brad gets visitation, with strings attached. The initial visit is with a therapist present and the therapist then has the power to either allow Brad subsequent unmonitored visits or insist on being present whenever he's around the kids.

-- Brad is subject to random drug/alcohol testing. As we reported, Angelina believes Brad has issues with alcohol and weed. Our law enforcement sources say Brad's first test was negative for drugs and alcohol.

-- Brad and Angelina will each submit to individual counseling. In addition, Brad, Angelina and the kids will undergo family counseling together.

We're told Angelina agreed with recommendation because her focus is to "heal" her family and her children.

We're told the agreement will only last for another 3 weeks. At that point DCFS could impose new ground rules or possibly turn the matter over to the courts.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been in the throes of settlement negotiations almost from the start ... but it got rocky early on when Brad pulled the plug ... sources familiar with the case tell TMZ.

Our sources say both sides wanted a quick end to what could become a contentious divorce. Jolie set the stage by asking for sole physical custody after Brad lunged and made contact with 15-year-old Maddox on a private jet.

We're told when TMZ broke the story about the incident in the air, Brad felt Angelina's people leaked the story and said he was done negotiating. But our sources say shortly thereafter, negotiations resumed.

We're told there are 4 elements to the settlement discussions:

-- Custody and visitation

-- Temporary support for Angelina and the kids

-- Permanent financial support

-- Property split

We're told the first 2 items are well on their way to resolution, with one big hitch. TMZ broke the story ... the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services is investigating the jet incident, and any settlement must conform to the eventual DCFS recommendations.

Our sources say the 3rd and 4th elements have not been resolved.

Lena Headey says she won't be returning her son to L.A. anytime soon -- father's wishes be damned -- because the American education system sucks.

Headey's ex-husband, Peter Loughran, claims in new legal docs Lena agreed to return their 6-year-old son from the U.K. after she was done filming "Game of Thrones" ... but didn't.

Headey supposedly emailed Peter saying she was enrolling their son in a Yorkshire school because the kid was being held back by a subpar American school system.

Loughran insists the deadline for returning the kid was Sept. 5th, so she's brazenly violated their deal and his right to make decisions for his child. She begs to differ, saying he agreed the boy could live with her in England.

Loughran says he hasn't seen his kid in 8 weeks ... Headey hasn't even let them chat on the phone.

Jennifer Aniston's husband is speaking out about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's divorce, saying he can relate to what's going on in their household right now.

Justin Theroux didn't shy away from the topic, telling Business Insider ... "As a child of divorce all I can say is that's terrible news for those children and that's all you can really say."

Justin made his comments Monday while doing media interviews to promote a movie, which is interesting because publicists usually control all the questions in that setting. So, he clearly didn't mind talking about it.

As for what Jennifer thinks about her ex's breakup, Justin added ... "It's boring to sort of comment on anything else. People are having a bad time, that's horrible."
