Should Kobe Bryant turn down "Inside the NBA"? The Game thinks so ... telling TMZ Sports he wants to see Kobe on TV, but not at the same desk as Barkley and Shaq.

We broke the story ... producers at the TNT show have already reached out to Bryant to try to get him on the show. We're told Kobe is still considering his options before making a decision one way or the other.

Tricia Small bagged a HUGE chunk of change for her very cool Malibu house.

The "Salem" executive producer unloaded the dream home for $3.45 mil. It was a long time in coming ... it's been listed for a year at $3.65M.

The buyer will have room to stretch ... 4 bedrooms, including a luxurious master, spa bath and steam shower blanketed with Calcutta gold marble. And there's a chef's kitchen with a restaurant-grade Viking range and a 750 bottle wine cellar.

Kenny Smith's dream may actually come true ... 'cause "Inside the NBA" has reached out to Kobe Bryant to see if he wants a job, TMZ Sports has learned.

The Lyon family is gonna need another seat at the table ... because "Empire" co-stars Trai Byers and Grace Gealey tied the knot in a very real wedding.

The private ceremony and reception went down Thursday at a mansion on Grand Cayman Island ... the guest list was limited to close friends and relatives ... none of their "Empire" co-stars attended.

Guests dined in style -- steak and lobster -- and danced to hip-hop, disco and, of course, reggae.

The brothers who convinced their half-sedated little sister the zombie apocalypse was upon them ... are getting their shot to make it in Hollywood.

Cabot Phillips, the main prankster behind the viral faux zombie attack video, tells us that since the video went viral they've gotten offers from producers to do reality shows. He says one of them even had a test shoot planned for the fam.

If you missed it, Cabot sprang the zombie plot on his sister, Millicent, right after she got her wisdom teeth pulled. It's brilliantly hysterical.

Even though Millicent's reaction was painfully real ... Cabot says she's getting offers from talent agents who want to rep her as an actress. He says she's more interested in writing comedy, but adds they'd all love cameos on "The Walking Dead" -- which was the inspiration for their prank.

Aisha Tyler's husband Jeff Tietjens is pulling the plug on their 23 year marriage.

Jeff finally filed divorce docs earlier this month in L.A. Superior Court. They'd been separated since January 2015.

They got hitched in 1992 after being college sweethearts. Aisha has been vocal on "The Talk" about her and Jeff's inability to conceive, but it's unclear if that played a role in the breakup. He cited irreconcilable differences.

Aisha's rep, Lisa Morbete, tells TMZ although their marriage is ending, their friendship will continue.

Howard Stern "Wack Packer" High Pitch Erik has a plan to bury the hatchet with Elephant Boy, but it's gonna create several months of awesome awkwardness on "The Howard Stern Show."

Erik showed up in a NYC court Thursday with his attorney Jeff Scaggs, and got the good news the judge would throw out his case ... IF he stays out of trouble for 6 months. After court, High Pitch told us how he's gonna pull that off. Maybe.

"Pretty Little Liars" star Brandon Jones ended a dispute with his neighbor by allegedly pulling out a gun ... and he's now facing serious prison time.

Law enforcement sources tell us the argument went down on March 24 ... and the 27-year-old actor was arrested for taking out his handgun and pointing it at a male neighbor. It's unclear what they were arguing about.

The D.A.'s Office just slapped Jones with a felony, assault with a firearm. We're told Jones did not actually fire the gun or strike the man with it, but pointed it at him ... which constitutes an assault.

Jones was also charged with 2 misdemeanors ... exhibiting a deadly weapon and exhibiting a concealable firearm in public. That second one happened in October 2015.

Jones' rep tells us, "It is our understanding that the gun in Mr. Jones' possession was fully legal and registered, that he was on his girlfriend's private property, and that he and his girlfriend felt that they were under threat in a dispute with neighbors."

The rep added they're confident Jones will be exonerated. He faces up to 5 and a half years in prison if convicted.

You didn't think Tracy McGrady was just gonna let Robert Horry slide, did you??

The NBA legend fired back at Horry Tuesday night ... after Big Shot Bob clowned Tracy on ESPN's "The Jump" when he told T-Mac he couldn't borrow a championship ring because "you gotta earn it."

"Did he burn me?" McGrady told TMZ Sports ... "Listen man, it was a joke."

"I can understand how people take things but I'll say this ... anybody can be a champion, everybody can't be a Hall of Famer."

... and boom goes the dynamite.

BTW -- we also asked Tracy about Kobe's last game ... and asked him -- if you could only get tickets to one game, which would it be ... Kobe's finale or the Warriors going for 73??

'Iron Chef' star Cat Cora was stabbed in the back by her estranged wife, who intentionally ignored PR 101 -- let the celebrity file for divorce against the nobody.

According to documents filed in the divorce between Cat and Jennifer Cora, Cat's lawyer fired off an angry letter to Jennifer's mouthpiece, claiming they had a deal -- Cat would file the divorce petition for "public relations" reasons. Translation ... make it clear Cat was leaving Jennifer.

According to the letter, when Cat was flying somewhere, Jennifer backstabbed her and had her lawyer file for divorce. Cat's lawyer says Jennifer clearly did this out of spite.

The letter, written last October right after the petition was filed, was just included in the court file but makes it clear how nasty this divorce got.

Cat's lawyer also accused Jennifer of trash-talking Cat to their kids' school and to mutual friends.

Dustin "Screech" Diamond just got sprung from jail a month early, due to his handiwork with a mop and bucket ... TMZ has learned.

Officials at Ozaukee County Jail in Wisconsin tell us Screech was released early Monday morning after serving just under 3 months behind bars for carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct.

We're told he was able to knock a month off his sentence by cleaning floors in the jail, and doing laundry.

Screech was convicted for stabbing a man during a bar fight back in December 2014.

J.B. Smoove isn't giving up hope, and neither should you ... he's putting the pressure on Larry David to bring back "Curb Your Enthusiasm" for one more season.

J.B. was on "TMZ Live" talking about his new movie, "Barbershop: The Next Cut" ... when we started talking about his other gigs on TV -- he's got a lot of 'em -- and it's clear which one he wants the most.

Larry's on record saying it just isn't gonna happen, but check out this clip ... J.B. is still pushing to get Leon Black and LD back together.

Translation: He's saying there's a chance!

This would be hotter if Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams didn't play sisters on TV.

Sansa copped a feel on "Game of Thrones" co-star Arya Stark at the season 6 premiere Sunday night at the TCL Chinese Theatre.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna are in position to follow in Kim's footsteps and cash in with a TV wedding special worth millions, but Rob's gonna have to go against the family to get paid.

Several big-time TV producers tell us pitchmen are putting together offers for Rob and Chyna. We're told the most lucrative path would be an episodic docusoap leading up to the big day. They're looking at $150k-$200k each per episode, plus another $500k each for the finale.

In addition, we're told wedding vendors hawking flowers, cakes, dresses and all that crap would also fork over big dough for integration deals, but Rob's got a big mama problem.

Kris Jenner has the family, including Rob, under a blanket deal that gives E! first crack at anything Kardashian. Kris has made it clear she's not a fan of "Blac Rob" ... so it's doubtful she'd be down with the project.

So, Rob and Chyna would be stepping out on their own -- familiar territory at this point.

Emmy award winning TV director Alex Graves has finally hashed out a divorce settlement with his wife of 19 years ... and the split was pretty much even-steven.

That's not all ... Alex has to pay Sarah $8,625 per month in spousal support, plus a bonus if he earns more than $425k a year.

The couple will have joint custody of their two teenage children. Alex must cough up $5,657 a month in child support.
