Joseline Hernandez I Was a TV Stripper Named Shenellica Before 'Love & Hip Hop'
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.
'Game of Thrones' Premiere Hang with the Cast ... If Ya Got $10k!
Attention rich nerds: watch the premiere of "Game of Thrones" weeks before it airs while breathing the same air as Cersei and Margaery ... all for the bargain price of several THOUSAND dollars.
Luxury concierge sites are cashing in on the 'GoT' hype and hawking tickets to the season premiere and after-party at the famous TCL Chinese Theatre -- and they're charging up to $10k for a pair.
Surprisingly, there's not much bang for those bucks. We're told there's no guaranteed photo ops, autographs or even a good seat at the April 10th event. One slightly cheaper option -- CharityBuzz is auctioning off tix and current bids are right around $6k.
We're told 'GoT' die-hards always fork out the cash for this stuff since most would push their child out a tower window for a chance to schmooze with the cast.
Tickets to premiere -- $10k
Spoiling premiere for your friends -- Priceless.

'Love & Hip Hop' Sexier & Sweatier! Eyeing Two New Cities
Get ready, citizens of Miami and Houston -- because if the producers of 'Love & Hip Hop' have their way, new spin-offs of the show are coming your way.
Producers are already auditioning cast members in both cities, according to our sources. They're hoping to get the casts nailed down by April, so they can premiere by late summer. Whichever city seems more promising -- aka ratchet and drama-filled -- will air first.
We're told the show likes those cities because they have completely different vibes from New York, Atlanta and L.A.
As for the cast ... we're told a few big names are in the mix, but producers also want lesser known people tied into each city's nightlife.
They're looking at you, bottle rats.
'Deadliest Catch' Captain Busted For Illegal Crabbin'
Captain Monte Colburn from "Deadliest Catch" just paid the piper for a crime on the high seas.
Turns out the captain was on the hunt for crab in an area that was strictly off limits. The excursion went down in November, during the taping of his show.
The reality is ... he could have gotten away with it, but there was a non-deadly catch. When he docked his boat, Fish and Game officials inspected his catch and found a certain species -- Opilio crab that live in waters that are protected during that time of year. In other words ... busted.
Monte was slapped with a $750 fine, which he just paid.
BTW ... last season Monte enraged his brother, Capt. Keith, by pulling the same stunt.
Fool me once ...

Mike Tyson I Like Brad Pitt Even Though I Caught Him with My Ex
Mike Tyson says he thinks Brad Pitt is a "really nice guy" -- which is interesting considering he once caught the guy about to have sex with his estranged wife.
Iron Mike was on "The Real" when he was asked to recall that infamous moment back in the '80s when he caught his then (estranged) wife Robin Givens sneaking around their house with Pitt.
The whole thing is funny ... Tyson says he was actually at the house hoping to bang Givens one last time before they hashed it out with divorce lawyers when he saw Robin with Brad.
Mike says he doesn't think they actually banged -- though he thinks they were about to -- and says Pitt was goofy and stoney when he confronted the actor.
Now, almost 30 years later ... Tyson says he holds no grudges against Pitt -- and praises him as a nice guy.
Wonder how Brad feels about the whole thing.
By the way, the episode airs Feb. 29th (check local listings).

Laura Prepon Piper vs. Eric Who's the Better Kisser?
Laura Prepon got grilled on a tough topic, and didn't hedge her answer when asked who she enjoyed kissing more -- Topher Grace from "That '70s Show" or Taylor Schilling from 'Orange Is the New Black.'
The "OITNB' star was on the "Todd & Jayde in the Morning" show on 95.5 in NYC when they raised the issue. It's the kind of question actors normally dance around answering because no one wants to burn a bridge -- but Laura was awesome.
She even threw in some oral hygiene secrets. Watch and learn ... who really knows how to swap spit.
Slain 'Cops' Crew Member Family Sues Over Fatal Shootout
The family of the "COPS" cameraman who was killed on the job is suing the city of Omaha for wrongful death.
Bryce Dion was part of the crew trailing Omaha PD officers in August 2014 when they responded to an armed robbery in a Wendy's. Dion was killed by friendly fire ... an officer firing back at the suspect accidentally shot Dion.
Dave Domina, the attorney for Bryce's family, says ... "I don't think Bryce Dion signed up for the risk of being shot by a police officer."
In the suit, the family says police were negligent because they didn't give Bryce adequate training, supervision or protection.
Three Omaha officers involved in the shooting have already been cleared of criminal wrongdoing.

Kelly hit all the hots spots ... Small World, Autopia, Tomorrowland, the works. She had a VIP handler but no entourage.

Christopher Darden White Writers Just Don't Understand Race in O.J. Case
O.J. Simpson prosecutor Christopher Darden has a warning for FX viewers ... it's absurd to think a bunch of white writers and producers can authentically play the race card.
We got Darden Thursday in L.A. and he made it clear he has little interest in ever watching 'The People v. O.J. Simpson.' He says producers never consulted him.
The 59-year-old attorney is clear as can be ... race played a big part in the trial, but there's no way non-black writers and producers could accurately portray what really went down.

'Ray Donovan' Man Tackled & Tased On Set ... Got Too Close to Liev
Shooting for "Ray Donovan" was interrupted after cops say a homeless man refused to leave the set ... which resulted in a 5 officer takedown.
Law enforcement tells TMZ off-duty uniformed officers were working security on the Venice beach set last Friday when it went down. We're told cops told him several times to back away from Liev Schreiber -- but instead he took a swing at an officer and tried to run.
It took several cops and a taser to restrain the guy. He was booked for battery on an officer.
We're told no one on set was involved, but y'know Ray Donovan could've handled it.

'Fuller House' Porn Parody Beats Netflix to Punch
It's just like the "Full House" reboot fans have been anxiously awaiting -- except in this one the Tanner girls are banging, and Kimmy finally gets to hook up with Uncle Jesse.
Taking full advantage of the buzz for "Fuller House" on Netflix ... the porn industry has cranked out "Full Holes" which comes out Wednesday -- 2 days ahead of the family-friendly version.
Some character names have been changed (to protect the innocent) -- D.J. is now BJ, Danny Tanner is Handy Tanner, Stephanie is Stuffme, Michelle is Muffchelle, and of course BJ's bff is Kimmy Gobbler.
Mr. Woodchuck is along for the ride too -- you can guess his porn name -- and he's a dead ringer for the O.G. puppet, except for a slightly wonkier eye.
Cut. It. Out.

Dave Bautista Calls Out Vince McMahon 'You F**ked Titus O'Neil'
Dave Bautista says Vince McMahon "f**ked" Titus O'Neil by suspending him 60 days for touching the WWE honcho during an incident on "Raw" earlier this month ... and now he's trying to talk Titus into quitting for good.
Bautista was at LAX when he ripped into McMahon for essentially overreacting over the incident -- saying, if anything, Vince should've had a one-on-one conversation instead of hitting Titus with such a harsh punishment.
Now, Bautista -- who left WWE and became a huge movie star -- says Titus should follow his lead ... because he shouldn't have to stand for that crap and can make more money elsewhere.
Question is ... will Titus take his advice?

'Jo Frost: Nanny On Tour' Spanking Dad Getting Death Threats
Chris Spivey, the dad caught on camera disciplining his son with a belt on "Jo Frost: Nanny On Tour," is threatening legal action against the show after getting flooded with death threats.
Spivey tells TMZ the footage of what sounds like him whipping his 9-year-old with a belt as the child screamed in pain is "bogus" because it was grossly edited, and he was only hitting the bed. He says producers took the isolated incident and created a whole show around it, but never gave him a heads up it was airing Thursday night.
TMZ broke the story ... Frost called child services in November on Spivey after she saw the disturbing footage captured by the show's surveillance cameras. Spivey says DCFS investigated but found no wrongdoing.
Spivey watched last night and says the show "sucked." He says right after it aired he started getting Facebook threats.
He says his family is considering legal action -- they've retained an attorney -- because "we are not people that beat their kids. We are leaders in our community and this has put a strain on our family.”
