The Arizona police officer who responded to Darrell Sheets' home immediately knew who the reality star was when he found him dead ... and officers were shocked when they realized what they stumbled upon.

In Lake Havasu police body cam footage obtained by TMZ ... officers are clearing the house after they found Darrell dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. One officer knew he was a celeb, and his fellow colleague lets out an "Oh!" when he fills them in.

The officer, wearing the body camera, was clearly a fan of the show ... because he explained to his partner that Darrell starred on "Storage Wars" with his son ... and the officer even knew the truck they drove to haul away their storage treasures.

Taylor Frankie Paul's alleged text messages to ex Dakota Mortensen are surfacing as part of the former couple's bitter custody battle ... and they show the reality TV star repeatedly complimenting her own looks, personality and sex appeal.

Sources familiar with the legal proceedings tell TMZ ... Dakota's lawyers submitted a series of Taylor's text messages in court this week to support his claim that her behavior has been erratic as the exes continue fighting over custody of their young son.

According to our sources, Taylor told Dakota in 2025 that she wasn't going to let him bring her down before declaring she was "f***ing charismatic as f***."

Lil Rel Howery says he wants to help Nolan Wells' family get to the bottom of his mysterious death ... donating a large sum of money to help them find answers.

Milania responds ... "alright ... w ur weird ass words."

"Casino Royale" actress Joanna Pettet has died.

Her manager, Pam Dubois, shared the sad news on social media, telling The Hollywood Reporter she passed Tuesday at Temecula Valley Hospital in California.

She died exactly 31 years after her son, Damien Cord, passed away at age 26 from a heroin overdose. She shared Damien with actor Alex Cord.

Joanna played a spy in 1967's "Casino Royale," which starred David Niven as James Bond. She was also known for playing one of the 8 Vassar graduates in the 1996 film, "The Group." She was also in the 1968 Western, "Blue," in which she starred opposite Terence Stamp.

She starred in a number of television films, including 1974's "Welcome to Arrow Beach," 1978's "The Evil" -- both horror movies.

She also appeared on TV, acting in four episodes of Rod Serling’s NBC early 1970s anthology series "Night Gallery" and landed a recurring role in "Knots Landing" in 1983 as homicide detective Janet Baines.

Joanna studied acting at Neighborhood Playhouse and landed a handful of Broadway roles before breaking into TV and film, such as in "Poor Richard," which saw her take the stage opposite Alan Bates and Gene Hackman.

Interestingly enough, she was one of the last people to see Sharon Tate alive -- she and fellow actress Barbara Lewis enjoyed a lunch rendezvous with her hours before Tate and four others were murdered by Charles Manson's followers in August 1969.

She was 83.
