Dog the Bounty Hunter's son Garry Chapman -- who was fired, then reinstated, from a police force in Alabama last year -- is suing the department ... He says they only disciplined him to teach him a lesson for calling out a dirty cop.

Remember ... Chapman's employment was terminated last year after his involvement in a fatal high-speed car chase. He was later reinstated, but he says he should've never been fired in the first place.

In court documents, obtained by TMZ, Chapman alleges the police department, along with Priceville, Alabama, Mayor Sam Heflin, used the tragic incident as an opportunity to smear his name and get rid of him -- something Chapman alleges they were working on for some time.

Finn Wolfhard got a major surprise during his "Saturday Night Live" debut ... a "Stranger Things" reunion right in the middle of his opening monologue.

The actor kicked off the night by declaring he was proud to be a man, even accepting a glass of alcohol from cast member Marcello Hernández ... though he immediately spit it out, joking it was "too spicy."

If Mike Tomlin's ready to put coaching behind him, Nate Burleson knows how to keep him busy in a different way ... telling TMZ Sports he's got all the "energy" for a TV job!

We caught up with the former NFL player-turned-analyst outside of CBS studios in New York City this week ... fresh off the news that Tomlin decided to part ways with the Steelers after 19 seasons.

Nearly two decades of coaching is a long run -- so we asked Nate if Tomlin should fully enjoy his time off ... or consider a TV gig while off the sidelines.

Renee Graziano says the claim that "Members Only: Palm Beach" is the new "Mob Wives" needs to sleep with the fishes ... because "Mob Wives" can't be replicated.

We caught up with the reality TV star in New York City earlier this week ... and, we asked her about some of our social media commenters comparing the two programs after we chatted with one of the show's stars, Taja Abitbol.

Graziano's not even entertaining the idea ... telling us the women in the show -- which follows several ladies as they navigate the hierarchies of Palm Beach high society -- aren't married to mob members, so there's really no comparison.

While she didn't name names, Angelique accused people who appeared on "All That" of acting like cast members are one big family, and then being selective with who they try to help. She also did not reveal who else on the Nickelodeon sketch show was in a similar situation to Kianna, but was receiving aid.

Timothy Busfield is firing back in his child sex abuse case, slamming prosecution witnesses for being unreliable with documented histories of fraud and financial exploitation, according to new court documents obtained by TMZ.

In his filing, Busfield blasted prosecutors for asking the judge to imprison him "based on a story that has already collapsed under independent scrutiny."
