"The Amazing Race" winners Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf -- who met and became a couple on "Big Brother" -- have another bright idea for CBS ... invite "Big Brother's" most polarizing contestants ever to the race.

Cody and Jessica -- who tell us they will NOT return to 'Amazing Race' next season -- tell TMZ ... if there's one guy they'd like to see on the all "Big Brother," 'Amazing Race' cast ... it's Dick "Evel Dick" Donato, the 'BB' season 8 winner and season 13 houseguest. Donato was famous on 'BB' for, shall we say, being a jerk. But an entertaining jerk, for sure.

Get ready for a "Sex and the City" reboot where there's wayyy more sex, more than just talk about vibrators, and you can bang the stars ... or at least virtually experience it.

Not sure what the hell took so long for this to happen ... but the porn company, Reality Lovers, is rolling out a virtual reality spoof series called, "Sex in the City." It's the first-ever episodic VR porn series.

They're keeping the OG character names, but we're guessing you'll get a much, umm ... deeper appreciation for Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha in the XXX version. Well, maybe not Samantha -- Kim Cattrall was a total freak.

We're told the porn version -- which debuts online May 16 -- will stick to many of the HBO series' story lines. Translation: the famed Rabbit will make an appearance.

The man going after the "Stranger Things" creators for allegedly ripping off his idea claims he's getting threats from angry fans -- so he's dropping his efforts to shut down the show.

According to new legal docs ... Charlie Kessler's been receiving threats from fans since he filed the lawsuit. He doesn't specify the nature of the threats, but they're bad enough that he's decided to drop his demand for the show to be pulled off the air.

He's amended the lawsuit, and now he wants only "monetary damages for the value of his idea used."

It still might be an uphill battle because 'Stranger' creators, the Duffer brothers, think they have a smoking gun -- emails showing they were developing a series similar to "Stranger Things" YEARS before Kessler claims he pitched it to them.

Kevin Hart wasn't just a close friend of his alleged sex tape extortionist, J.T. Jackson -- he acted like a devoted agent for the guy ... getting him roles in commercials and a lot more.

Sources close to Kevin say case in point ... a 2013 Coke Zero commercial. Hart showed up the day of filming with J.T. and demanded he be given one of the principle acting roles -- with no advance warning.

We're told a call sheet change was made, J.T. was fitted for clothes, and one of the 2 actors who was set to play Kevin's buddy in the spot was replaced and bumped to a background actor. As you can see ... J.T. got his speaking role instead.

Our sources say this wasn't a one-time deal, either ... Kevin worked on at least 3 other projects where he made sure J.T. was given principle roles to star alongside him.

Farrah Abraham is sizzling on a South Pacific beach, but thankfully she's got fresh coconuts -- to keep her cool.

The ex-'Teen Mom' flaunted her goods in a bathing suit on Wavi Island in Fiji. Thing is ... it's a private island, so not too many people got to enjoy Farrah's coming and going. Somehow she managed to get in front of the one person with a camera. Shocking, right?

Farrah made sure to stay hydrated under the hot Fiji sun ... she never put down the damn coconuts.

Charlie Rose just got hit with a sexual harassment lawsuit from 3 women he worked with at CBS, including his personal assistant.

The women include a broadcast associate, a news associate and Rose's executive assistant. In the suit, 2 of the women -- Katherine Brooks Harris and Sydney McNeal, his assistant -- say Rose told them they were hired specifically because he likes tall women.

They claim he also boasted about his sexual conquests and encouraged them to share their sexual experiences. Harris and McNeal say Rose would tell the women they should become lovers ... with each other, not him.

Harris says she once wore a mini-skirt with roses on it, and the ex-"CBS This Morning" anchor said they were HIS roses. All of the women say he would repeatedly caress and touch their bodies, including their arms, shoulders, waists and backs. They allege Rose pulled them close to his body and kissed them on the cheek.

According to the suit, Rose would berate and intimidate them. Harris says he once told her, "I didn't know that I hired a f**king kindergartner."

One of the women, Yuqing "Chelsea" Wei, was the news associate ... and in the suit she says Rose referred to her as "China Doll." She also claims he called her a "f**king idiot" when she booked him on a flight that didn't have lay-flat seating.

Harris and McNeal say Rose fired them after the November article in the Washington Post where 8 women accused him of groping and exposing himself. Shortly thereafter, Rose himself was suspended and then fired.

The lawsuit comes on the heels of 27 new women coming forward with allegations against their former co-worker.

Shane Sparks -- best known as a judge on "America's Best Dance Crew" and choreographer on "So You Think You Can Dance" -- just got served ... divorce papers from his wife.

Diana Sparks filed legal docs Friday to end their marriage after 6 and a half years, citing irreconcilable differences. She lists the date of separation as January 1, 2018.

The couple wed in August 2011, and they don't have any kids together.

Diana tells TMZ ... the couple grew apart and the decision to divorce was mutual. "We are best friends and forever will remain family."

Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon and Michonne are all back in front of the same bloody camera lens -- shooting for season 9 of "The Walking Dead" is officially underway.

The surviving cast of 'TWD' were all spotted on set Thursday as filming for the new season began in Atlanta and, from the looks of it, a lot of the characters are gonna be getting around on horseback.

Except Daryl, of course ... he's sticking to his hot wheels.

A few noteworthy observations ... Rick and Jesus are rocking new, clean-cut looks -- and Jadis and the Oceanside ladies have apparently integrated with the rest of the group.

No sign of Negan, though ... who was last seen as Rick's prisoner. But we're sure he'll show his mug eventually. Also absent, for now ... the freakin' zombies.

If you're thinking no one would pay $28k to see Donald Trump naked, think again because Zak Bagans did -- but wants to make it clear he's just in it for the history of it ... and maybe some dough.

The "Ghost Adventures" star and Haunted Museum owner outbid everyone for "The Emperor Has No Balls" statue ... better known as "the naked Donald Trump statue" Wednesday at Julien's Auctions.

The statue was made by West Coast anarchist collective INDECLINE and Zak says he was drawn to its mysteriousness. Five naked Donald Trumps popped up around the U.S. last year and at the time no one knew where they came from. The one Zak bought is the only one that wasn't ruined or confiscated.

It was estimated to fetch $20k at auction, but Zak was willing to pay $8k more than that. He's clearly betting the value will only go up, and someone will overpay him down the line.

Wayne Brady says the guy who got slammed into the friend-zone on "Let's Make A Deal" only has himself to blame ... 'cause he should've nailed down his relationship status before the show.

We got Wayne outside K Bakery in Pacific Palisades Wednesday, and he swore the brutal-to-watch diss -- which has gone viral -- was painfully real. If ya missed it ... contestants Steve and Jessie dressed in matching '70s prom outfits, prompting Wayne to ask how long they'd been together.

It all went downhill from there.

Wayne says he feels bad for Steve, but it's clear the guy missed some important social cues.

"Last Comic Standing" star Ty Barnett is HOT over Kanye West saying 400 years of slavery was a choice black people made -- and says Chicago should be done with the rapper.

Ty, who's from Chicago, was in Hollywood Tuesday when he tore Kanye a new one, and not just for the slavery comment. He's also pissed Ye had the nerve to bash former President Obama for not doing anything to help their hometown.

While Kanye's tried to clarify some of the controversial comments he made on "TMZ Live" ... Ty's not having it, and says Mr. West needs to shut up and let a different Chi-Town rapper take the lead.

Lea Michele knows NOTHING sweetens up your cup of coffee like a massive diamond ring on the hand that's holding it.

The "Glee" grad was strolling around NYC Tuesday with her new treasure -- as in her fiance, Zandy Reich ... the guy who gave her the OTHER treasure.

We know you're wondering, so ... it's a 4-carat elongated radiant cut diamond. Lea and Zandy announced their engagement last weekend. They've been dating since last summer, when Zandy managed to bust out of the friendzone ... they were pals before the hookup.

The groom-to-be is president of the clothing company AYR -- and his bride-to-be is obviously very proud ... of his taste in jewelry.

Bill Cosby ought to get some "eye-for-an-eye" justice when he goes to prison -- he should get raped ... so says one of his accusers.

Former Playboy model Victoria Valentino didn't mince words when we asked her what she thinks the disgraced comedian should get when he gets sentenced. Victoria straight-up says Cosby should get the same special treatment he gave her.

Translation: Cosby should get violated in prison. She goes on to call Cosby the most prolific serial rapist of the 20th century.

Bill Cosby fell on his sword the moment he opened his mouth and long before his sexual assault trial started ... so says one of the jurors.

Harrison Snyder appeared on 'GMA' Monday and said the unimpeachable evidence that led to the comedian being found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 2004 -- Cosby fessing up.

Snyder admitted he knew ZILCH about the mounting allegations against the comedian heading into the trial and didn't think it was "an open-and-shut" case. But, what sealed the disgraced comedian's fate was his own deposition.

Bill Cosby's not going to get treated like any other prisoner if he ends up getting locked up for his sexual assault conviction ... but it's mostly because of his health and security.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the Pennsylvania Dept. of Corrections provides a wide range of services for inmates with special needs, including those who are in wheelchairs or blind -- like Cosby.

We're told some assistance Cosby could receive includes a fellow inmate escorting him around the prison for his daily routine, or -- if his health is bad enough -- he could be assigned to a special needs cell ... where daily essentials are brought to him.

Our sources say, due to his age and the fact he would be a prison first-timer, Cosby might also get aid from one or more of the DOC's 500 trained peer support specialists ... who serve as guides during the tough acclimation to prison life.

We're also told, if he ends up in prison custody, officials will evaluate Cosby's needs ... including whether or not his celeb status warrants additional security measures.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson had a little shindig Saturday night to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary, and it was a must-attend for a bunch of celebs.

Check out the video ... Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell, Conan O'Brien, Martin Short and Jimmy Kimmel were among the guests our photog shot. We didn't get a shot of Obama or Oprah but we're told they were front and center.
