Reality TV

George Jung's gone from filthy rich drug smuggler to dirt poor unemployment ... but that's finally paying off for him with a reality TV gig about poverty.

Of course, Johnny Depp played Jung in "Blow" -- portraying his heyday in the drug game, but since getting out of prison in 2014, he's struggled big time to make a buck. All of which made him perfect for "Poverty Sucks" ... a reality show produced by Tremendous Films.

Producers tell us it focuses on Jung learning normal tasks like opening a checking account, going grocery shopping, etc. -- y'know all the stuff he did while doing his cocaine kingpin thang. The show's also about him rebuilding his relationship with his daughter, Kristina.

Cesar Millan insists the pig that was bitten by an over aggressive dog during a training session ... is totally fine now, and video from his show proves it.

TMZ broke the story ... Animal Control went to Cesar's training center to investigate an incident shown on "Cesar 911." He was trying to train a French bulldog with a penchant for attacking its owner's pot-bellied pigs -- but the dog ended up biting a pig's ear.

Nat Geo, which airs the show, says Cesar created a "safe and controlled environment" to rehabilitate aggressive dogs. It stresses he took precautions before "making initial corrections and removing the leash." And although the dog attacked it says the pig was tended to immediately, healed and showed "no lasting signs of distress."

Video shows Cesar putting the dog and the pig back together the next day ... and the pig actually walks its attacker.

It's unclear if the clip is enough to clear Cesar from animal cruelty charges, but Nat Geo seems to be saying ... since the dog was cured, the end justifies the means.

Morena Baccarin and "Gotham" co-star Ben McKenzie welcomed their first kid together ... daughter Frances Laiz Setta Schenkkan.

Frances was born on March 2. The couple's reps confirmed the baby girl and mom were "happy and healthy."

As for the name ... it appears to be a collaborative effort. Frances is McKenzie's mom's middle name and Setta is Baccarin's mother's maiden name. Schenkkan is Ben's real last name.

Baccarin's pregnancy has been a little complicated -- she's been hashing out a nasty divorce to soon-to-be ex Austin Chick, with whom she already has a 2-year-old son, Julian.

"Deadliest Catch" star Captain Sig Hansen is calling it quits after suffering a heart attack -- that's right, no more cigarettes ... or at least, fewer of them.

The famous crabber came on "TMZ Live" to talk about his recovery from that heart attack he suffered last week while at sea. Sig says it was a huge wake up call and he's seriously trying to quit his smoking habit.

Cameras were rolling when Sig fell unconscious and we're told it will be part of the show's 12th season which starts later this month on Discovery.

Chumlee from "Pawn Stars" has been arrested for guns and drugs after police raided his home while investigating an alleged sexual assault ... TMZ has learned.

Las Vegas Metro PD says officers showed up at his home Wednesday afternoon with a search warrant in connection with a sexual assault case. We're told Chumlee is the suspect in that case.

Our law enforcement sources tell us cops found marijuana, meth and at least one weapon during the search.

Chumlee was taken into custody and booked for drug and weapon possession. We're told the sexual assault is still under investigation.

Story developing ...

It sure looked like an obsessed fan interrupted "The Bachelor: The Women Tell All" episode Monday to show Lace a tattoo of her face on his stomach ... but the guy's actually just a joker.

Our 'Bachelor' spies say comedian and "Punk'd" producer Jamie Abrams faked both his emotions and his tattoo.

Abrams -- who went viral in 2013 for the "The Women of LA" YouTube video -- showed up at the taping and surprised Chris Harrison by standing up and professing his undying love for Lace Morris.

As for the look of fear on Lace's face ... we're told it's 100% real. Our source says no one from cast or crew were in on the prank, so she was understandably creeped out.

We reached out to both ABC and Abrams, but no comment.

Kim Richards got so riled up during a fight on her new reality show 'The Mother/Daughter Experiment' ... the gloves didn't come off but her sweater did.

TMZ obtained a clip of Kim and former "Bad Girls Club" alum Natalie Nunn getting in each other's faces ... you gotta see it.

Kim seems sober as she tries to protect her daughter, Kimberly, and Shar Jackson's daughter, Cassie, from Natalie's wrath.

You know what they say ... never get between a mama bear and her cub.

Lee Reherman was juggling multiple unfinished TV projects before his death -- but we're told the shows will go on without him.

Reherman -- best known as Hawk on "American Gladiators" -- was working behind the scenes and producing two new shows -- one is a fitness-focused series called "Undercover Trainer."

We're told Reherman was producing a reality show called "Pin-Up Garage" about hot female car mechanics. Lee was working with EP Scott Satin and developing both shows for Byron Allen's Entertainment Studios.

Reherman also co-starred on "The First Family," playing a secret service agent. No word yet on what changes will have to be made -- we're told he's written into every episode for the upcoming season.

The next 'Bachelorette' has yet to be announced, but there's a strong sign Ben Higgins reject Caila Quinn is getting the nod.

Quinn, who was eliminated from "The Bachelor" on Monday's episode, was spotted shooting something Wednesday around her hometown of Hudson, Ohio. Cameras followed her to local spots including her alma mater, Western Reserve Academy.

She was also seen sitting alone inside a gazebo looking pensively into the distance -- which has all the makings of a classic 'Bachelorette' intro scene.

We're told onlookers were asked to sign release forms to appear on television, and although the crew didn't specify what show they were shooting for ... there are reports Caila is the chosen one.

Lee Reherman's friends and family will pay their respects to the actor in true "Hawk Style" -- as in NO stuffy suits, and lots of time in the sand and his favorite bar.

Sources close to Hawk tell us his celebration of life will start on the beach and make its way to Shellback Tavern in Manhattan Beach, CA.

We're told there's a strict dress code: No suits or dark clothes and outdoor beach clothing is a must. Or as the invitation puts it, "anything that you would wear to party with Lee at the beach!"

As we reported Reherman died mysteriously earlier this week. We're told an autopsy is scheduled for Friday.

Mama June is still laying in a Georgia hospital because doctors can't figure out what caused her fainting spells ... TMZ has learned.

According to our sources, Mama June will remain in the hospital an extra night after she was rushed there Wednesday night after she collapsed in her home.

We're told all of her tests have come back normal and doctors are unable to pinpoint exactly what is wrong with her.

Our sources say Mama June did have one theory ... she told doctors she has been extra stressed lately since "Marriage Boot Camp" began airing ... and she and Sugar Bear have been fighting about it constantly.

We're told docs plan on keeping Mama June in the hospital until they figure out what's wrong.

Mama June was just rushed to the hospital after collapsing at her home in Georgia Wednesday... TMZ has learned.

We're told June had been complaining about not feeling well, and had thrown up several times throughout the day. She passed out right after walking down the stairs in her house. She regained consciousness, but then had multiple fainting spells ... so her daughter, Pumpkin drove her to the hospital.

We're told June has been pushing it with her diet lately, and after passing out she admitted she hadn't eaten much today.

June's still in the hospital. We're told doctors plan on giving her a CT scan and taking blood work.

4:00 PM PT -- Reps for Sig confirm he suffered a heart attack ... and is currently resting up.

Captain Sig Hansen narrowly dodged a true "Deadliest Catch" moment when he fell unconscious on the deck while fishing for crab.

Sources close to production tell TMZ ... Sig and the crew of the F/V Northwestern were at sea, with cameras rolling, when the captain briefly passed out. We're told Sig brushed it off when he came to, and wanted to keep fishing.

The production crew insisted he get medical attention, and he was airlifted to a nearby hospital.

Stevie J was flattened outside a North Carolina nightclub ... and despite protestations he left unscathed, the video tells a very different story.

The brawl with Stevie went down outside Charlotte's Empire Lounge. There's a report things got so heated Stevie's van got shot up, but he insists that's not the case.

The "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star says the incident was triggered by club security who roughed up a patron. Stevie says since he was hosting the event, the patron thought he was responsible, so when Stevie left the club the guy and his posse jumped him.

While Stevie insists he left unscathed, his pal and blogger FreddyO left with a gash in his head.

Joseline Hernandez struggled before scoring "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" ... appearing on a failed stripper reality show under a different name ... Shenellica.

TMZ scored footage from a 2007 pilot shot at Diamond Cabaret in Miami. The show was produced with the hopes of landing a Showtime deal, to compete with HBO's "Cathouse" series.

We're told Joseline -- a stripper at the club -- struck a deal in which she got $400 to appear on screen. And yes, she demanded cash.

FUN FACT: We're told producers were afraid if the show sold, Joseline and some of the other girls might not pass the psych evaluation.

Stevie J might agree.
