October won't just feature pumpkins, ghouls and goblins this year, it'll also mark the first time in forever that "Roundball Rock" will be on NBA broadcasts ... and the man who created the iconic jingle tells TMZ Sports he couldn't be more fired up for it!

We caught up with John Tesh out in Los Angeles last week ... and he could hardly contain his excitement when talking to us about the song's return to airwaves.

The tune, of course, was a staple of NBC's coverage of the NBA throughout the 1990s ... but when the network lost the rights to broadcast Association games roughly two decades ago, the melody went on hiatus.

A star-studded gated neighborhood where A-listers like Angelina Jolie and Kristen Bell have homes received an unexpected visitor Sunday ... and, cops arrested him.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... officers arrested an alleged trespasser today in Los Feliz -- a neighborhood in L.A. east of Hollywood.

We're told the individual slipped through the gate and onto the street behind it where Dax Shepard and Bell share a residence. However, our sources say the two stars weren't home at the time.

Sofia Vergara's keeping her clothing casual while enjoying a chill Fourth of July weekend ... letting everyone see her impressive backside while tanning.

The actress shared a vid from her vacation in Ibiza in honor International Bikini Day on Saturday ... in which she's lying on her front in a thong-style bikini -- meaning no coverage at all on her booty.

Like we said, she's lying on her front so we can't see her bikini top -- but, the strings in back don't seem to be tied ... so, it seems safe to assume she's letting it all hang out.

Martin Kove likes a joke with teeth to it, it seems ... 'cause he liked a few his followers cracked in the comments section of his most recent post.

The "Karate Kid" star shared a post for the Fourth of July ... wishing everyone a happy holiday and thanking them for their "love and support."

Of course, Kove was recently accused by his "Cobra Kai" costar Alicia Hannah-Kim of biting her at a fan convention in Washington ... so his post could be a thank you to those people standing beside him.

Khloé Kardashian and her family were in the Fourth of July spirit this weekend ... enjoying an afternoon of themed sweet treats and good old-fashioned American spirit.

The reality star shared a series of photos on Instagram Saturday from her party for America's Independence Day ... showing off in a red "USA" crop top during what looks like a massive block party.

Khloé shared a ton of photos of her daughter True -- outfitted in a star-spangled ensemble with a matching headband.

Julian McMahon's tragic passing shocked Hollywood ... and stars like Nicolas Cage, Rose McGowan, Kelly Carlson and more are paying tribute to him.

Shortly after Julian's passing, Cage released a statement to Deadline to discuss his costar -- the two worked together on the new movie "The Surfer" and appeared together at SXSW in Texas in March -- calling him "the most talented of actors."

McMahon's ex-wife, Brooke Burns -- who has starred in projects like "Baywatch" and "Shallow Hal" -- shared a photo of Julian and their daughter Madison in honor of his passing.

Actor Julian McMahon has died ... this according to a report from Deadline.

The actor passed away Wednesday after a battle with cancer his wife, Kelly, told the outlet.

Kelly released a statement which read, in part, “Julian loved life. He loved his family. He loved his friends. He loved his work, and he loved his fans. His deepest wish was to bring joy into as many lives as possible."

Huda Mustafa needs to remember to lean on her friends and family amid all the online hate she's getting ... this according to another former "Love Island" star.

We caught up with Andrea Carmona -- a star on season 6 of the show who was on the receiving end of fan ire during her time on the show from the second she left the villa -- and, she says her support system is the only reason she was able to get through the hard times.

ICYMI ... Huda's been getting hate for her actions on the show -- especially for a few emotional outbursts and allegedly manipulative behavior.

Judge Mathis is reacting to the verdict in the Diddy trial ... and he's calling for Diddy to be sentenced like anyone else would.

We got the Judge at Mountain Gate Golf Course on Wednesday and asked him about Diddy skating on the most serious charges in his racketeering and sex trafficking case.

Judge Mathis says he never thought the RICO charge made sense and the sex trafficking counts were questionable ... though he feels for Cassie and all the abuse she suffered.

Here's Eva Longoria flaunting her bikini body in some skimpy animal-print swimwear ... and she's looking hot ... rawr!!!

Eva was all smiles as she hit a beach in Marbella, Spain with her equally hot friend, Christina Milian. MILF alert!!!

Check out the photos ... you wouldn't know it, but Eva turned the big 5-0 a couple months back.

Ally Lewber is officially back in the dating game, 'cause she has a new man in her life -- months after her split from James Kennedy ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... the former "Vanderpump Rules" star is dating a new guy following her January split from James. Our sources tell us Ally and her new boo have been dating for about four months, and the relationship has recently gotten more serious.

We're told the guy is based in New York, and the two were introduced through mutual friends. While Ally's kept the romance out of the public eye, our sources say the couple has already been traveling together -- and the new mystery man has made multiple trips to Los Angeles to visit her.

"Love Island USA" is heating up our screens -- and guess who’s feeling the fire? Kendall and Kylie Jenner, who just dropped their own cheeky reenactments of the show’s juiciest bombshell behavior!

TBH, you’d think they’d packed their bags for Casa Amor -- Kylie, Kendall, their pals Stassie, and Victoria had the lingo down cold. From "Can I pull you for a chat?" to "I want to explore other connections," they were serving full-on drama queen energy.

You have to see the video -- Stassie pulls Kylie for a chat like a true bombshell, while Kendall and Victoria lurk in the background, shamelessly earwigging. Peak villa behavior -- if you’re not chatting, you’re creeping!

Tom Schwartz and Lala Kent have nothing romantic going on with each other, despite a wave of social media rumors ... TMZ has learned.

Rumors of a romance swirled about 5 days ago after a fan account posted a claim Tom and Lala are often spotted together at a popular Los Angeles bistro, claiming TS is "always picking up the bill."

The post quickly went viral, prompting fans to question if the former castmates had taken their long-standing friendship to the next level.

Shaquille O'Neal was back on the set of "Gravesend" Tuesday ... filming scenes for the mob drama while looking far more like a crime boss than a lovable basketball legend.

Check out these images TMZ Sports has obtained ... the 15-time NBA All-Star was decked out in a huge gold chain, a black track suit and some specs as cameras rolled on him for his part in the Amazon Prime series.

Playing "Mustafa," he chatted away with businessman and producer, Jas Mathur, who also has the role of "Miguel" in the hit show.

Todd Chrisley's revealing one of his biggest behind-bars blowups ... and it wasn't with just any inmate. Nope, it was with the "Varsity Blues" college admissions scam ringleader himself, Rick Singer.

Just weeks after scoring a presidential pardon from Trump, Todd sat down with wife Julie on daughter Savannah’s 'Unlocked' podcast -- where he spoke about how he hit his boiling point when he caught Singer badmouthing Savannah over her taking the Bureau of Prisons to task on behalf of her dad.

Todd claimed he marched straight up to Rick and warned him he didn’t care about the consequences -- saying, "I’ll rip your head off and s*** down your neck if you talk about my child again!"

"Love Island USA" contestant Vanna Einerson might raise eyebrows for getting so much work done at her age -- but a top celeb doc tells TMZ, despite it all she’s looking damn good!

Dr. Michael Salzhauer -- AKA Dr. Miami -- tells TMZ the hate Vanna’s getting is totally overblown, especially by Miami standards. He says there’s zero reason to judge, as long as she knows the risks and benefits -- which, at 21, she absolutely should.

Dr. Miami admits Vanna may’ve gone a little too enthusiastic with the tweaks -- but says she most likely was intentionally chasing a more mature vibe.
