Bravo's fitness star Greg Plitt -- who was hit and killed by a commuter train -- did not have a will, and now his family is trying to ensure his $800,000 estate ends up in the right hands.

As TMZ first reported ... Plitt died tragically in January while shooting a commercial for a sports drink.

The 37-year-old did not have a spouse or child when he died -- and according to court docs obtained by TMZ ... his father filed a petition Wednesday to control his son's estate.

If approved -- which is extremely likely -- he'll make all decisions about paying Greg's creditors ... and how the remaining money gets divvied up.

Michael Sam will be competing in March, not on the football field, but on the "Dancing with the Stars" hardwood ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Michael -- the first openly gay player drafted in the NFL -- will be part of Season 20, which fires up next month.

Here's the problem. Sam -- who insinuated he was cut from the NFL because he is gay -- has vowed to get back in the league and said he'd take part in the first-ever veteran's combine on March 22.

But Sam needs to prove he has what it takes, and we're thinkin' some of the owners might question his commitment if he's focusing on the rumba rather than rumbling.

Can we talk? Joan Rivers was noticeably snubbed Sunday night by The Academy Awards and Melissa Rivers is not a happy camper about it.

Sources close to Melissa say she feels her mom deserved a place in the 'In Memoriam' portion of the Oscars, but she's not going to focus on the snub.

We're told she'd rather focus on the overwhelming support from her fans, who have rallied behind her mom since her death in September.

Kim Kardashian pisses off Kris Jenner so much by not letting her in Kim and Kanye's new house, the matriarch throws a rock through her window ... according to the script for the upcoming reality show.

Production sources tell TMZ ... there's a very detailed outline of scenes for season 10 of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." In one scene, after Kim and Kanye move into their new home, Kim goes back to Kris' home and takes a bunch of cookware and silverware.

When Kris realizes it, she storms over to Kim's house to confront her, and through a crack in the door Kris screams, "I gave you life and you stole my cookware!" Kim fires back that if Kris doesn't back off she'll have her removed from the premises.

Kim slams the door and Kris goes crazy, picks up a rock and throws it at an upstairs window, shattering the glass as she screams, "You won't get rid of me this easily."

Oprah Winfrey won at the Academy Awards Sunday night ... scoring the Oscar everybody wanted ... the Lego variety.

She wasn't the only one ... during the performance of "Everything is Awesome" by Tegan and Sara and The Lonely Island, dancers dolled out Lego Oscars to stars like Oprah, Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep, Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone, and others.

"The Lego Movie" may have been snubbed but they got their sweet revenge.

One thing's for sure ... those statues are awesome.

With Season 8 kicking off, allow us to remind you of the past champs -- and show you what they look like now. See how many you remember!

With cheap tickets going for around $4,000-a-pop, even the rich and famous are thinking twice about going to the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight ... including "Jane the Virgin" star Gina Rodriguez.

Besides the fact it's going to be the biggest "who's who" event of the year, Gina also happens to be a huge boxing fan ... and her father was a famous boxing referee (who worked the last Pacquiao fight).

But when we saw Gina out yesterday, she told us it's just too rich for her blood ... and with dad having retired, she doesn't even have the hookup anymore!!

FYI -- some experts believe ringside seats to the fight could go for anywhere from $50k to $100k on the secondary market.

The Kardashians are driving a wedge between themselves and Bruce Jenner, and we've learned the upcoming season of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" is a virtual farewell to the patriarch.

Sources connected with the production tell TMZ ... there's a scene in the show where the girls discuss how Bruce is such an infrequent visitor, "Bruce and the boys are almost completely out of the picture."

One of the girls says, "Maybe it's time to admit to themselves that they're barely even enough of a family anymore to go on vacation [with us]."

At one point Kim says, "Things are only going to get more difficult and complicated," referring to Bruce's sex change.

A company that made millions of dollars off of "Duck Dynasty" kites and motion-activated toy ducks may have to shell out some serious bills to a network that feels betrayed.

A&E has sued The Wish Factory -- which sells the tchotchkes -- claiming the company made nearly $3 million in the last 3 months of 2013 and they were supposed to give A&E a cut of the profits, but the network claims it got stiffed.

So A&E wants a hair over $320K, but even worse, good luck if The Wish Factory wants to keep selling all things mallard.

They'll never eat duck confit in this town again.

Ahmad Givens, a.k.a. Real, one of the stars of VH1's "Real Chance of Love" has died after a long battle with cancer ... according to his brother.

Real's brother Chance tells TMZ ... the reality star's condition worsened after he took a fall in January ... he was bedridden ever since.

We're told Real was having trouble with vision and speech Friday night during a family visit ... and they had a feeling the end was near. He passed away hours later.

As we previously reported ... the reality star was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer in 2013. Real underwent surgery and things were looking positive, but earlier this year the cancer returned and he began chemotherapy treatments.

Chance posted a tribute to his brother online saying, "I'll see you one day soon we shall dance again in God's kingdom forever and ever bro words can't describe my pain world pray for me!"

Kris Jenner says someone has nude video of her that was shot in her house, and that's not a guess ... we've learned Kris will reveal it on her upcoming show.

Sources connected with the production tell TMZ ... during one of the Season 10 shows, Kris has a family meeting and says she's being extorted over the video. She says someone broke into her iCloud and jacked surveillance of her inside the house, which captures her buck naked.

Kris tells the kids that someone wants money for the video and everyone present is disgusted ... EXCEPT KIM!

"American Horror Story: Freak Show" star Ben Woolf is no longer in critical condition ... but doctors say he still has a tough road ahead.

Sources close to the actor tell us Ben has yet to wake up ... and is being kept sedated while under constant doctor supervision -- but the upgrade to his condition is good news.

TMZ broke the story ... Woolf was hospitalized after he was struck in the head by a moving car.

Sources tell us his family has been by his bedside the entire time ... and "AHS" creator Ryan Murphy -- as well as other cast and crew from the show -- have sent flowers to his room.

Aziz Ansari says the loss of his friend Harris Wittels has left him devastated ... and the touching tribute he penned for the "Parks and Rec" exec who died this week is heart breaking.

Ansari posted a lengthy blog Friday night where he revealed the two had been working on a project together, and they were planning a move to NYC together in March. Harris had just locked down an apartment on Monday.

Ansari says he had worked on two different movie scripts with Wittels, but neither were greenlit. But Ansari contined to support his friend, recommending that others hire him to write.

TMZ broke the story ... Wittels died at his home Thursday from an apparent drug overdose.

The "Parks and Rec" actor also included a few scenes from the movies Harris wrote ... and they're HILARIOUS. Aziz went on to describe Wittels' terrible eating habits, his arm wrestling skills and his writing expertise.

"Walking Dead" actor Markice "Kesan" Moore tried to kill himself this week and explained why in a video ... TMZ has learned.

The actor -- who played a prison survivor in Season 3 -- was found unresponsive Tuesday morning at his Woodland Hills home by friends after ODing on a deadly mix of Xanax and Patron.

Moore was rushed to the hospital and placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold. He has been released and is undergoing therapy.

Moore recorded a suicide video in which he outlined his plan to end his life, telling his kids why he wanted to take such a drastic measure.

Moore's manager tells TMZ, he was distraught over his grandmother's recent death.

The actor -- who's also a rapper -- got his start on MTV's reality show "From G's to Gents."

Kanye West said something explosive on "The Breakfast Club" Friday ... something that was edited out of the prerecorded interview but was just leaked -- that his 17-year-old sister-in-law Kylie and Tyga are in love.

The edited version was already interesting, with Kanye saying, "I think he got in early. I think he was smart." But now we know the words that preceded Kanye's thoughts. When you combine the notion that Tyga and Kylie are in love with the bragging rights that he "got in early" ... it raises obvious questions.

Tyga fiercely denied dating Kylie on "The Breakfast Club" Tuesday.

It's getting interesting.
