Former Dodgers manager Don Mattingly still has one friend in L.A. -- "Ballers" star Omar Benson Miller says it's not Mattingly's fault they bombed in the playoffs, and he didn't deserve the axe.

We got Omar, a huge Dodgers fan, at LAX and asked if he agreed with the "mutual" parting of ways. Omar dropped some wisdom about who's really to blame for the blue crew flaming out in the NLDS ... and it damn sure ain't Donny Baseball!

Check out the clip -- Omar thinks the front office should be questioning certain moves, and he names names.

Coincidentally, Mattingly's now the Marlins skipper down in Miami ... where Omar shoots "Ballers."

ABC Family star Jean-Luc Bilodeau was burned so badly doctors are moving up his scheduled skin graft surgery ... TMZ has learned.

As we reported, the "Baby Daddy" actor was rushed to the hospital this past weekend after his alpaca costume went up in flames during a Halloween party.

Doctors were planning to do the skin grafts in a few days, but the burns are so alarming they've decided to do it today. Jean-Luc's arms and legs were severely burned.

We're told his family flew out from Canada to be at his bedside in the burn unit of a Glendale hospital.

"Baby Daddy" star Jean-Luc Bilodeau had to be rushed to a hospital after his Halloween costume went up in flames in the middle of a party.

Sources confirm Bilodeau was at co-star Tahj Mowry's party Saturday night when his alpaca costume -- made out of cotton balls and lycra -- caught fire. Paramedics transported the ABC Family star to a nearby hospital to get treatment for burns on his arms and legs.

Bilodeau's rep says the actor got too close to an open flame, and it was curtains for his alpaca suit. He's still in the hospital, but expected to make a full recovery ... according to his rep.

Mowry's party had lit tiki torches scattered around the backyard. Recipe for disaster.

Dick Maugg, the man who played Ed Jaymes in the Bartles & Jaymes commercials from the '80s, has died.

Maugg passed away on July 28 after battling cancer, but the family kept it to themselves because they were dealing with his daughter's own fight with cancer, which she lost earlier this month.

Maugg spent the majority of his life as a general contractor and had never acted before landing the role of Ed Jaymes, the silent sidekick in the wine cooler spots. The ads ran for 7 years.

He was 83.

Jimmy Fallon took everyone through the chain of events than landed him in the hospital with multiple cuts on his hand.

Jimmy went on 'The Tonight Show' and made light of his appearance at Harvard over the weekend, where he tripped over a woman while clutching a bottle of Jagermeister.The fall sliced open various parts of his right hand.

Jimmy seems ok now and the good news ... he's run out of hands to injure.

Christina Milian qualified for the Golden Globes Monday in NYC.

Jimmy Fallon's going to run out of fingers to injure at this pace ... but he doesn't seem the least bit rattled after cutting his right hand on a shattered bottle of booze.

Jimmy posted a shot of the his bandaged right index finger, saying ... "Nothing that a few band aids couldn't fix."

TMZ broke the story ... Jimmy was partying with the Harvard Lampoon crew Saturday night, and carrying a bottle of Jägermeister, when he tripped over someone. It sounded bad, but Jimmy seems unfazed ... especially when compared to his more horrific left hand injury.

Bill Cosby is being investigated for possible sexual assault in connection with a 2004 alleged incident.

The investigation began after a judge unsealed depositions in a civil case filed by a Pennsylvania woman ... this according to the CBS affiliate in Philadelphia.

And there's more ... another woman now claims Cosby assaulted her during the 2004 Penn Relays by grabbing her in "a vice-like grip," and rubbing against her. She says she immediately complained but event officials blew her off.

Sarah Hyland and her BF are taking it to the next level -- 'cause nothing says you're serious like committing to grabbing piles of dog crap together.

Sarah and Dominic Sherwood -- who've been together less than a year -- adopted a lab/shepherd mix puppy from Wylder's Holistic Pet Center in Studio City, CA last weekend ... according to the shop's owner.

The couple was looking for a tiny companion for the "Modern Family" star’s 5-year-old dog ... which she had before Dominic came on the scene. So, this is their first "child" together.

We're told they named her Boo, and immediately took her on a bitchin’ shopping spree, dropping more than a grand on fancy bowls, decorated collars, and yes ... Halloween costumes.

Welcome to the good life, Boo.

"Game of Thrones" fanatics now have the chance to own a one-of-a-kind Tyrion mask ... and the best part, it's been licked by Sansa.

Landon Meier, the mask's creator, tells TMZ he made the mask for Comic-Con and wore it there. Somehow the mask ended up at a party with a ton of 'GOT' actors.

To Landon's surprise, he woke up the next day to see a picture of Sophie Turner aka Sansa Stark giving the mask a licking. Landon says to this day the mask hasn't been washed and the facial hair where Sansa licked is still parted.

Meier has the mask up on eBay and he's asking for at least $5,500 ... current bidding is at $500.

With nothing left to hide ... Morena Baccarin and Benjamin McKenzie are getting kinda touchy on the NYC set of "Gotham."

Even when cameras weren't rolling Thursday, Ben slipped in a little PDA with his baby mama.

Morena was wearing a baggy coat and scarf as they waited to shoot a scene ... so it doesn't look like they're working the pregnancy into a "Gotham" plotline.

Don Vito, one of the stars on Bam Margera's "Viva La Bam," just woke up from a coma, but he's still in critical condition from kidney and liver failure ... TMZ has learned.

Bam's mom, April, tells us Vito collapsed Tuesday at his home in West Chester, Pennsylvania and was rushed to the hospital. He remained in a coma until Friday morning.

We're told 59-year-old Vito's liver and kidneys are giving in after years of hard partying. After he slipped into the coma, doctors told the family to prepare for the worst.

April says after Vito miraculously woke up he felt good enough to make phone calls -- but she adds he's not out of the woods, due to the organ failure.

"Million Dollar Listing" star Josh Flagg just made $1 million off his Beverly Hills fixer-upper without so much as laying down a single nail, and he has MySpace to thank for it.

Flagg sold the joint to the social networking site's co-founder Chris DeWolfe -- not the Tom guy -- for just under $6 million.

Flagg bought the house 4 months ago for around $5 mil with intentions of flipping it, but he quietly put the word out he'd sell if the right buyer came around and the price was right.

Fact is ... Flagg probably could have gotten more than $6 mil ... he planned to list it for triple the purchase price post-renovation, but who can turn down a hassle-free, easy million?

We reached out to Josh for comment, but calls were not returned.

Marty Ingels, the star of dozens of TV sitcoms in the 1960s ... and the husband of Shirley Jones has died after suffering a massive stroke. He was 79 years old.

Ingels passed away Wednesday at the Tarzana Medical Center in the San Fernando Valley. He became a household name for his guest appearances on multiple shows, including "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "Bewitched," and "Pete and Gladys." He also starred in the short-lived, but cult classic 1962 comedy, "I'm Dickens, He's Fenster."

Ingels went on to start his own talent firm, booking commercials for actors like John Wayne and Orson Welles.

He and Shirley got married in 1977. In a statement to Variety, which first reported Ingels' death, she said ... "He often drove me crazy, but there's not a day I won't miss him and love him to my core."

Bob Barker is on the road to recovery after splitting his head open while on a walk near his home.

Barker was spotted out in West Hollywood on Wednesday and you can see the bandaged up wound on his right temple.

TMZ broke the story, 91-year-old Barker was taken to an L.A. hospital after going down during a morning walk. Lucky for Bob, cops were in the area and stopped to help him until paramedics arrived.

We're told Bob's knee was also injured in the fall. We're betting he can still take Sandler.

Chanel West Coast is using the meme that mocks her resemblance to a "Boy Meets World" dork as inspiration for her epic Halloween costume.

The meme went viral this summer -- claiming CWC is a dead ringer for Minkus from the TV show -- and it seems she got a kick out of it too.

We got Chanel Wednesday outside Nasty Gal in West Hollywood, and she explained how she's turning the tables on her haters. It should be an easy get-up to put together:

- 1 pair of nerd glasses
- 1 white collared shirt
- 1 pair of dockers
- and 1 bowl for that haircut

Don't worry, Chanel ... it'll grow back.
