"Ask Ashley" could be making a HUGE comeback ... with a dirty twist ... because TMZ has learned, Playboy is offering Amanda Bynes her very own radio show.

Playboy Radio offered Amanda a guest hosting gig yesterday -- but now, a rep for the station tells TMZ, execs want her around FULL-TIME ... and have officially submitted an offer for Amanda to host her OWN hour-long daily radio show.

The offer is for a one-week trial ... but if all goes well, we're told Amanda can extend the deal to a full year.

Playboy's pulling out all the stops to make her feel welcome too -- we're told the org. is willing to provide Bynes with a driver to take her to work ... as well as her very own producer to handle the show's logistics.

FYI -- Bynes became a breakout star on "All That" back in the day thanks to the popularity of her "Ask Ashley" sketches ... when she would give crazy advice to fans.

2:36 PM PT -- We JUST heard back from Bynes ... who, unfortunately, delivered some bad news for Playboy.

"I want to [do the show]," Amanda said ... "But I can’t because I’m recording an album!"

Sidenote: Amanda says she's an aspiring rap star.

Fish and chips ... Crumpets ... Russell Brand ... hating the Irish -- these are things British people LOVE. Oral sex, however, does not belong on that list ... so says authentic British person Lisa Vanderpump.

In related news ... Lisa shot back at a report someone ate box at her restaurant -- cardboard box that is.

LV says the allegation that a patron found cardboard in a Villa Blanca salad is ridiculous ... but says even if it were true, the patron should be GRATEFUL ... 'cause cardboard is high in fiber.

Good news -- Ozzy Osbourne says things are going GREAT in his effort to fix the problems in his marriage.

Bad news -- He's sorta refusing to acknowledge there were problems in the first place.

Ozzy was finishing up a grocery run at Bristol Farms in L.A. yesterday when we asked about his relationship with Sharon ... and Ozzy sounded extremely positive.

As we previously reported, the two were living apart earlier this year after Ozzy fell off the wagon and began using drugs and alcohol again. Sharon told reporters she was "devastated" by his behavior.

So it was a little baffling yesterday when Ozzy told us there was never a problem to begin with between himself and Sharon ... because we know that's simply not true.

Michael Keaton left little to the imagination this weekend on the set of his new movie "Birdman" ... running around Times Square with nothing on but socks and a pair of tighty whities.

Kim Kardashian did her best to keep the goings on inside her baby shower yesterday a secret, but she failed to wrangle her crazy Aunt Karen ... who blabbed all about the party to the paps ... but some of what she said was just plain wrong.

Karen Haughton, who is Kris Jenner's sister, clearly had a good time and was as chatty as can be as she made her way out. She struck up conversations with photogs and posed for pics with fans ... all while she spilled details of what went on inside.

Karen -- who may have had a mimosa or 2 -- had a couple of teeny-weeny facts wrong:

-- She said the guests scored Rolexes as shower gifts (not true)
-- Kanye and Kim are the same height (not true)
-- She says she ate cake, and then seconds later said there was no cake, just cookies

Bruce Jenner's memory is disappearing faster than Kim's figure ... because the Kardashian patriarch has met Kanye West SEVERAL times, despite claiming he's only met the rapper once -- and Kim is pissed at her stepdad for saying it.

We've done our research -- and came up with at least FOUR different occasions where Bruce and Kanye were both present ... Kourtney's baby shower in May 2012, a taping of "X Factor" in November 2012, a Clippers game in December 2012, and the Kardashian family Christmas party.

The photographic evidence contradicts what Bruce told Extra this weekend ... that he only met Kanye once in his entire life, saying, "[Kanye is] not around."

We're told Kim's upset with her 63-year-old stepdad ... because Bruce makes it sound like Kanye doesn't care about the family.

And here's a clue that maybe Bruce isn't so into Kanye -- back in April, 2012, he said he was "not that excited" when Kim started dating the rapper ... because he felt Kim was rushing into a new relationship too quickly after leaving Kris Humphries.

Amanda Bynes followed through on her promise to get her nose fixed after seeing it in her mug shot ... and she tells TMZ she already wants to get another procedure ... ASAP.

In one of her post-arrest Twitter rants, Bynes said she was planning on "getting in shape and getting a nose job!"

Bynes -- who previously copped to having a nose job weeks before her arrest -- tells TMZ she got the procedure done yesterday in Manhattan and explains, "I have no bandage on. It's healing on it's own like my doctor asked."

But she's not stopping there, telling us, "I'm getting one more in 3 weeks, they are short amazing surgeries done while I'm awake but under general anesthesia. It's almost perfect."

She says once her nose "doesn't look so awful in photos" she will stop hiding from the paps.

Michael Douglas says his near-death bout with throat cancer was caused by an STD he picked up while giving oral sex. TMI, Michael!!!!

Douglas dropped the bombshell in an interview with the Guardian UK -- telling the paper that his particular form of throat cancer was caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) that was contracted from "cunnilingus" ... a.k.a performing oral sex on a female.

He explains, "It's a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer. If you have it, cunnilingus is also the best cure for it." The last part is NOT supported by doctors.

FYI -- HPV is more famously known to cause cervical and anal cancer.

Douglas was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer back in 2010. He underwent weeks of radiation and chemo.

Matt Damon and Michael Douglas getting naked in jacuzzi was a glorious occasion ... at least according to Prince von Ahole who can't stop gushing about the A-listers stripping down while filming "Behind the Candelabra" inside his digs.

As TMZ first reported, Zsa Zsa Gabor's hubby struck a deal with the people behind HBO's Liberace-themed movie to film in his mansion for a few weeks, in exchange for a $70,000 payday.

Now that the movie has aired -- and we've seen what went on behind closed doors -- our photog had to ask ... what was it like to have the celebs running around naked all the time?

Shemar Moore had some early morning guests Saturday -- cops, who responded to a 911 call from a woman who claimed the actor assaulted her, but he says he got attacked ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... at around 3:45 AM, a woman at Shemar's Encino house called the cops and claimed he had assaulted her. When they arrived, Shemar and the woman each accused the other of pushing and shoving. We're told "drinking was involved."

A source connected with Shemar tells TMZ ... the woman was in Shemar's backyard with a number of people when someone -- not Shemar -- pushed her in the pool. We're told she got very upset and tried to come inside the house, soaking wet. She was asked to wait until someone could get her some towels.

We're told Shemar came to the door with the towels, but she became even more irate and he asked her to leave. Apparently one of them started the pushing, and she called the cops.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... both Shemar and the woman each wanted the other arrested, but since there were no visible injuries, neither was taken into custody.

Amanda Bynes says she doesn't do drugs ... but that's not stopping one company from asking her to be the new face of their portable vaporizers ... i.e. a contraption loved by ganja-lovers worldwide.

Chris Folkerts -- CEO of Grenco Science -- sent Amanda an offer letter this week, asking her to become a celebrity spokesperson for their new line of G-Pen vaporizers ... following her alleged bong-out-the-window arrest.

Chris says G-Pens are portable vaporizers which "provide the best way to vape oils, concentrates and aromatherapy regiments" ... but we all know what they really vape.

Folkerts says in the letter, "We think you'd be a great spokesperson ... we know you will love our vaporizers so much you will never use a water pipe or bowl ever again."

Fun Fact: The Game is also a celeb spokesman for the company. Soooo yeah.

That stupid, red parking sign that bashed Kanye West in the face last month will NEVER HURT ANYONE AGAIN ... 'cause it's just been raised WAAYYY above head-bashing range, TMZ has learned.

The sign (sporting a 1-0 record in street fights) ... famously K.O.'d Mr. West back in May when the rapper was trying to walk to a nearby restaurant while shielding his face from the paparazzi.

Kanye went BALLISTIC after the sign attack ... and unleashed a legendary screaming, running, angry tirade at the photogs.

Now, we've learned the people who own the property have decided to take action -- raising the sign by several feet ... so it towers over any regular-sized person.

Of course, it's possible the sign-owners made the move to prevent a future lawsuit ... but as for Kanye, we're told he hasn't made any sort of legal threat since the incident.

Bottom line -- the streets of Bev Hills are now safe for walkers ... unless you're a giant.

Move over Dollywood ... Jermaine Jackson has his eye on a Jackson-family themed resort -- but it's not so much an homage to Michael as it is to the Jackson with the best name -- Jermaine's son Jermajesty.

Michael Jackson's older brother told The National he's been scouting locations for a 5-star hotel he wants to call "Jermajesty" ... very possibly in Abu Dhabi.

The resort would have Jackson memorabilia displayed everywhere, but don't go online just yet to book your reservation ... Jermaine says the project is in its infancy.

Amanda Bynes has a serious addiction and TMZ has learned she just got herself another fix -- no, we don't mean drugs ... we're talking WIGS.

Bynes recently placed an order from Couture Princess Wigs for three Disney-inspired wigs -- one Cinderalla, one Barbie, and one Belle. She placed the order the day of her arrest and three wigs cost her a total of $830.00 (that includes shipping).

Forget winning $30,000, national Spelling Bee champ Arvind V. Mahankali is about to get the greatest prize of all ... Matzoh Ball soup from one of New York City's most famous delis!!!

Arvind won the competition by spelling the word "knaidel" -- which means small mass of leavened dough cooked by boiling water (i.e. a matzoh ball) -- but has reportedly NEVER tried it.

TMZ spoke to the Carnegie Deli in NYC -- arguably the most famous deli in the Big Apple -- and in honor of Arvind's win, the deli is making it their mission for him to try it.

They told us, "Carnegie Deli will be sending three portions of knaidel to Mr. Mahankali to fill him up after all that spelling."

FYI -- each bowl runs about $9.50. Mazel Tov.

Who you gonna call? The police!

Dan Aykroyd became the focus of a homicide investigation when a landfill worker uncovered film of the actor standing over a bloody corpse -- and it turns out he's guilty ... of making a really bad movie.

Law enforcement officials in Calgary, Canada tell TMZ the dump worker found the damaged film on Wednesday afternoon, and turned it in to police ... thinking he had stumbled upon evidence in a murder.

We're told the employee didn't recognize Aykroyd, but once investigators cleaned the dirty negative they spotted the ghostbuster. Problem is ... they couldn't tell which one of his nearly 100 flicks they were seeing.

Police then contacted All American Speakers -- a company that books celebs for events -- and also Dan's reps ... who revealed the scene was from the 1990 bomb "Loose Cannons."

If you've never heard of it ... that's cool with Dan. When we called about the investigation he told us, "The movie should have been left in the landfill where it belongs."

Case closed.
