TV

Clint Eastwood took a shot at Caitlyn Jenner during a Hollywood award show ... and TV execs think he crossed the line, because it's never going to make air.

Clint was at Spike TV's Guys' Choice Awards on Saturday to introduce Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. He mentioned that Johnson is an athlete who has jumped to acting, much like "Jim Brown and Caitlyn Somebody."

It's unclear if he got any laughs, but Spike execs aren't laughing. A rep told USA Today, Clint's "joke" will be cut when the show airs later this month.

So, we gotta ask ...

Kellan Lutz is a giver ... and he gave one high school senior the "best night of her life" after he took her to prom over the weekend in New Jersey.

Lutz, 30, went all out. He picked up 18-year-old Brianna Siciliano in a Bentley, strapped on a boutonniere and even posed for those token awkward prom pics before heading over to the Monroe Township High School prom.

The two reportedly struck up a friendship after Siciliano reached out to Kellan on social media because she was being bullied at school. Recently, her friends launched a social media campaign to get the "Bullseye" host to be her prom date.

It all worked out, since Kellan was in NY shooting a movie.

They didn’t win prom king and queen, but looks like they had a blast. As for the almost 15 year age gap -- typical Hollywood couple.

Jodie Sweetin's in a nasty battle with her estranged husband over where their 4-year-old does arts and crafts and takes naps -- 'cause kindergarten is serious business.

Jodie filed legal docs saying she and Morty Coyle can't agree on where little Beatrix starts her education. In the docs, Jodie says she wants the kid to go to the same school as her big sis, 7-year-old Zoie ... because they're really tight.

The ex "Full House" star claims her ex wants Beatrix to go to another school ... which just so happens to be closer to his house.

Stephanie Tanner pours it on heavy in the docs -- saying she's a PTA superstar who regularly participates in events at the kid's school ... such as the "Willy Wonka" musical, and pajama rama.

Divorce is no small matter ... even for reality TV stars Amy and Matt Roloff, who are pulling the plug on their 27 year marriage.

The "Little People, Big World" couple announced they were separating back in March, but filed divorce docs on Friday ... citing irreconcilable differences.

In a statement, the Roloffs said they were proud of raising their 4 kids to adulthood. It's interesting ... their youngest just turned 18 in January. Kinda looks like they waited to become empty nesters before ending things.

Much like George Costanza, Jason Alexander had to pretend at a job he was pretending to have.

Alexander was out and about in New York City when our photog tried to chat him up about the New York Yankees, figuring Alexander was a fan from his "Seinfeld" days.

But as it turns out ... Alexander knows NOTHING about sports and says he had no idea who George Steinbrenner even was ... even though he shot several memorable scenes poking fun of the notorious Yankees owner.

In the immortal words of Mr. Costanza ... it's not a lie, if you believe it.

... is grow a beard!

David Letterman was spotted Thursday walking the streets of New York City with his new retirement sidekick ... a scruffy beard.

It's the first time we've seen the 68-year-old ex-talk show host since he ended his 33 year run on TV.

It's pretty funny ... Letterman is sporting a beard while his replacement, Stephen Colbert, made his first official "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" video all about ... shaving his beard off.

The free time, and the facial hair, looks good on Dave.

Jenelle Evans and her estranged baby daddy are trying to work things out between them ... and step one was him not pursuing a domestic violence case against her.

Evans got popped last month for allegedly attacking Nathan Griffith, but the case was dropped Thursday after Nathan told police he didn't want to press charges.

A rep for Evans tells TMZ the pair are now on speaking terms and are working on their relationship ... for the sake of their child.

We're told Evans wants to put the past behind her and focus on the kid and her nursing career.

Former "Party Down South" star Taylor "Lil Bit" Wright is hollerin' like a stuck pig about all the haters who think she's crazy for keeping a gun near her newborn.

Backlash erupted after Wright posted a pic of her BF and baby daddy tending to their month-old baby ... with a semi-automatic handgun sitting on the nightstand next to them.

Lil Bit thinks the only real danger is having the gun locked away. She reminded us about her 2nd Amendment rights, and added, "By God I will unload on somebody if they break in and try to hurt me or my family."

Wright promises she keeps her firearm in "safety mode" ... so in her mind, it's all good. However, North Carolina law says it's a misdemeanor to leave a gun any place an unsupervised minor could reach it. It's debatable whether that applies to a one-month-old.

Lil Bit promises she'll hide the gun once the kid gets older ... but for now, she's not worried about him messin' with it.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are full of it when they say the Springdale, Arkansas Police Chief had an agenda in releasing the "sealed" molestation case ... so says the city's top prosecutor.

Springdale City Attorney Ernest Cate tells TMZ, the case file was never sealed. The reason -- the police report wasn't filed until 2006, 4 years after the molestations began. When the police report was filed, Josh Duggar was 18 ... an adult suspect, and therefore there was no basis for sealing the case.

Cate says he got a Freedom of Information request from a media outlet, and since it was a non-sealed case he was required to release it under the Freedom of Information Act. The names of the minor victims in the police report narrative were redacted.

This is interesting ... in the narrative, Josh's name was redacted because he was only 14 when the molestations first occurred. Cate says when it comes to sealing a case the relevant time is when the police report is filed, so they were dealing with an adult suspect.

Jim Bob and Michelle claimed on Fox News Channel they were the real victims, because the Police Chief somehow had an agenda to get them. But Cate says it's just not true ... the city followed the law in releasing the file.

Torch those khaki shorts and tops ... Bindi Irwin is all grow'd up and flaunting a much, MUCH different look these days.

Steve Irwin's famous daughter -- who's now 16, about to turn 17 -- posted a glam black and white selfie ... and she's almost unrecognizable.

Bindi's still keeping up the Crocodile Hunter's legacy ... working on wildlife conservancy with her mother, Terri Irwin and little brother Robert at Australia Zoo in Queensland.

"All My Children" star Jennifer Bassey got tossed off a plane for being a "risk to the flight" -- but not before the 72-year-old was able to give a flight attendant a big ole F-U.

Jennifer tells TMZ the whole mess started when she used the restroom as she boarded her Delta flight from NYC to Indy. When she walked out of the lav she says a female flight attendant loudly asked, "Aren't you going to flush?" ... and also berated her about washing her hands.

Jennifer says she planned to use her own hand sanitizer -- and the flight attendant followed her back to her seat and hovered because her laptop was open. This was all before takeoff.

Then she says the attendant bumped her hand and said, "Don't touch me, don't you ever touch me." Jennifer responded by mouthing, "Go F**k yourself."

That sparked a quick huddle of all the flight attendants, and then the plane turned back to the gate, and two police officers removed Jennifer ... but she wasn't arrested. Cops tell us they were called for an assault but they found no sign the 72-YEAR-OLD had assaulted anyone.

Delta tells us they're looking into the incident. Jennifer says she hopes the attendant gets fired.

Caitlyn Jenner is a hotter commodity than Bruce Jenner ever was ... especially on the speaking circuit.

Sources who worked for years on booking speaking gigs for Bruce tell TMZ, Caitlyn is worth 5 times what Bruce commanded. Our sources say Bruce used to get $25,000 a pop for motivational speaking ... and they say Caitlyn can pull well over $100k.

There's a big reason Caitlyn is a hotter commodity ... social media. Bruce hated social media and wouldn't play ball. A lot of the companies that hire motivational speakers are big into social, and Caitlyn is fully on board and breaking records.

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar believe whatever their son Josh did to his sisters ... the media was way worse.

The Duggar parents told Fox News' Megyn Kelly ... their family was slandered by tabloids that reported the molestations by twisting the facts. They say their daughters who were victims of their older brother didn't even know they were molested ... until their parents told them.

Michelle says her kids have been victimized by people who have an agenda for profit ... she was not more specific.

And she thinks her daughters have been victimized more by media reports than by Josh's actions.

And check out the video below ... the Duggars explain Josh's conduct by saying "he was just curious about girls."

Josh Flagg ... star of "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" ... just dropped $5 mil on a Beverly Hills pad -- and now he's gonna gut the place in hopes of making a bundle.

Josh’s new pad has 4 beds, 6 baths and over 4,889 sq ft. It also has a 12-car motor court -- so it's pretty sweet as is, but Josh has big plans.

Our real estate sources say Flagg's gonna flip the place after a slew of changes, including:

• Expanding to 8,000 sq ft
• Expanding the pool to 100 ft
• Full interior overhaul
• Changing the exterior to a Nantucket/Hampton look

When it's all said and done ... Josh plans to sell it for $15 million, we're told.

Cookie better watch her back ... "Empire" creator Lee Daniels has got another diva in mind for the hit series – Diana Ross.

Daniels chatted up our photog outside Craig’s in West Hollywood, and while Taraji P. Henson got a 10 for her rump shaking gone viral … talk of Ross for the new season got Daniels so flustered he forgot to pay for parking.

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are finally copping to being failures as parents -- but their description of Josh Duggar’s molestation incidents might seriously piss you off.

Josh's parents sat down with Megyn Kelly of FOX News to speak out for the first time since the molestation story broke -- and on the heels of a newly released police report that shows Jim Bob and Michelle horribly dragged their feet on reporting Josh's crimes.

FOX released this brief clip of the interview (which airs Wednesday night) ... in which they rather nonchalantly describe Josh's "choices."

TLC has yet to make a final decision on the fate of "19 Kids and Counting" -- and it was not involved in setting up the Duggar's FOX interview. We're told execs will be watching closely when it airs.
