80-year-old Hollywood legend Joan Collins is livid at fellow icon Shirley Jones, insisting she's NOT some porn-watching swinger pervert and never was -- despite claims in Shirley's new book -- and now, she's threatening Ms. Jones.

Sources tell TMZ, Joan -- famous for the '80s soap "Dynasty" -- is pissed over one anecdote in particular, which Shirley recounts in her book "Shirley Jones: A Memoir," a story about the first time Shirley met Joan in the late '60s and a 4-person sex party nearly broke out.

According to the book, Shirley and her then-husband Jack Cassidy were at the home of Joan Collins and Tony Newley for dinner ... and after dinner, Tony proposed they all get naked and watch porn together. Shirley writes, "It was clear what Tony was leading up to -- swinging."

79-year-old Shirley says she turned down the offer -- and now, sources tell us, Joan is accusing her of libel ... insisting the story is bogus.

We're told Joan has sent Shirley a cease and desist letter, demanding her new book be removed from stores everywhere, but Shirley's NOT backing down. She says the story is true and she's standing by it.

A top contender on "MasterChef" had a bizarre, violent encounter with cops in Chicago ... telling them Gordon Ramsay is an "asshole" who possessed his body and then transformed him into God ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... a University of Chicago cop spotted Josh Marks nearby the campus on Monday He was trying to use a University emergency phone and had obvious cuts on his face. We're told the cop asked Marks if anything was wrong, and Marks then lunged at him, striking him with a closed fist and then tried to grab his gun.

Our sources say the cop and two other officers tried to subdue the 26-year-old, 7'2" tall culinary runner-up ... to no avail. They batoned and pepper sprayed him but it had no effect. Marks broke free and started running. Five cops subdued him in a resident's backyard.

Marks was taken to the hospital to treat his injuries. We're told once in custody an officer asked him why he went off the rails, and he blamed it all on Gordon Ramsay. Shockingly, we're told there was no evidence of drug use.

We're told doctors discovered bullet fragments in Marks' face from an unrelated incident.

Orlando Bloom thinks it's "funny" that his wife Miranda Kerr is telling the media he's a toenail-obsessed foot-aholic ... but he ain't exactly denying it.

Orlando was hoofin' his way out of Cipriani in NYC yesterday, when we started talkin' tootsies ... after his wife recently told a news outlet, "I’m really a freak about my nails. Orlando and I share a nail thing -- he has a bit of a foot fetish."

A crazed WWE fan has been arrested after climbing into the ring during an event in South Africa today ... and blasting Randy Orton in the nuts, TMZ has learned.

The video is pretty wild -- the fan jumps into the ring and sneaks up behind Randy while the wrestler is on the turnbuckle ... and swings his arm up between Randy's legs. Security immediately jumps in and drags the fan away, but not before Randy attempts to kick the guy.

A rep for the WWE tells TMZ, "Randy was violently attacked from behind" by the fan -- who was not part of the show ... and is now in police custody.

Having assembled a crack search-and-rescue team, Justin Bieber hit the streets of NYC Tuesday morning to continue the grueling quest for his lost shirt.

Some say Bieber lost his shirt in Connecticut this month ... some say he misplaced it after a recent concert ... some say it disappeared last year in Miami ... but the truth is ... no one really knows.

There are pics that appear to show the singer wearing shirts in recent months, but Bieber insists it's really easy to Photoshop stuff these days ... so we can't confirm their authenticity.

Of course Scantlin told a different tale, previously telling us, "My neighbor vandalized my house so I had to take action."

Sinbad's financial nightmare is officially OVER -- but the comic doesn't wanna talk about money problems anymore ... he wants to talk about FACEBOOK RAAAAGEEE!!!

Sinbad -- who declared bankruptcy earlier this year -- was at LAX Friday when we asked him about having a clean slate after racking up more than $10 MILLION in debt.

But the "Necessary Roughness" star told us, "I'm past financial, I'm on to murder."

"I killed some folks on Facebook," Sinbad said ... "So I'm working with that. Anger issues."

We're guessing he was being metaphorical ... and probably means he "killed" people with insults

Then again, we could be wrong ... and if that's the case, dude, you should probably seek some advice from Ron Burgundy ...

A self-proclaimed gay, Jewish white supremacist was in court last night ... facing charges that he has terrorized Anderson Cooper, threatening to "f**k you up."

40-year-old Alex Hausner has allegedly stalked Cooper for 5 years ... but things escalated last month when he showed up at the CNN star's home, trying to kick down the front door of the converted firehouse and screaming, "I swear to f**king God, don't insult me. I'm going to f**k you up."

According to the New York Post, Hausner has made numerous threatening phone calls and attempted to get face-to-face encounters with A.C. for years. The Post says Hausner also targeted Anderson's boyfriend, calling him a "thug" and a "mongrel."

A gigantic load has been taken off Jason London's shoulders ... he won't serve any jail time for his drunken antics in a bar, which he followed up by dumping a gigantic load in the back of a cop car.

TMZ broke the story ... the "Dazed and Confused" actor was popped in January in one of the most epic arrests ever, after getting into a drunken brawl outside the Martini Ranch in Scottsdale. According to the police report, London crapped himself in the back of squad car ... intentionally.

London was in court Friday and plead GUILTY to disorderly conduct. In return, the assault charge was DROPPED ... just like the pile he left behind.

London was ordered to attend an alcohol treatment program and pay $118 in court costs.

Jason was left pretty beat up​ from the incident -- with multiple fractures to his face -- which required surgery.

Millions of people around the world let out a collective "awwwww" as The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge stepped out and showed off their new baby king.

Okay this is creepy ... not only does Myla Sinanaj want to be just like Kim Kardashian ... she had Kim K's sex tape playing during her own XXX romp.

TMZ broke the story ... Myla has gone all single white female and filmed her own version of a Kim K sex tape -- called the "Anti-Kim Kardashian XXX" -- hoping its release will make her millions and land her a reality show.

TMZ obtained a clip of the tape ... it shows how obsessed she is -- you see Myla watching the KK / Ray J video in the background as a Kris Humphries look-a-like bangs her to a fare-thee-well.

Myla does say, "Turn that off ... I can do better than that." But still ...

The one thing that does set Myla apart from KK -- she loses her "backdoor virginity." It's a place Kim never went ... at least on camera.

It's beyond.

Joey Chestnut is currently digesting the remains of 89-and-a-half chickens ... after once again DOMINATING at the Hooters World Wing-Eating Championship!

Chestnut chewed up and spit out the competition as he devoured 179 WINGS in just 10 minutes ... taking the title for the second year in a row.

The 29-year-old had some fierce competition during the event in Clearwater, Florida -- legendary eaters like Eric "Badlands" Booker and Sonya “The Black Widow” Thomas.

Of course, Chestnut is also the reigning Nathan's hot dog eating champ -- and has also earned titles in the world of matzo balls, mac and cheese, shrimp wontons and corn beef sandwiches.

The parents of Amanda Bynes believe she's a substance abuser who has become paranoid, delusional and is draining her bank account ... this according to legal docs obtained by TMZ.

Amanda's parents filed papers in an attempt to win a temporary conservatorship. In the docs, they say Amanda has become "extremely paranoid about being watched," and she covers smoke alarms with towels and tapes windows shut to prevent cameras from shooting her.

The parents go on -- Amanda has "profound issues with her body image" and is "obsessed with the fact that she (and others) are ugly."

The parents say Amanda had $4 million in the bank, but is blowing a huge amount of cash -- she spent $1.2 mil in a very short amount of time. Amanda withdrew $100k on June 4 and another $100k on July 2 and the parents have no idea where the money went, but they mention they believe she spends "a substantial amount" for marijuana and other illegal substances.

The parents say Amanda doesn't connect with reality, telling them she "cabbed it" from New York to L.A. The parents believe she's homeless.

The documents described what TMZ first reported ... that the parents are hanging their hats on the driveway fire incident to show Amanda is a danger to herself and others.

The court denied the petition for a temporary conservatorship Friday morning, because the judge wanted more info.

Troubled "America's Next Top Model" alum Renee Alway SHAVED OFF HER HAIR before facing the judge in her burglary case -- in an effort to convince the judge she's a changed woman.

Alway -- who placed 3rd on ANTM during Season 8 -- appeared in a Palm Springs courtroom Thursday stemming from a 6-hour armed standoff with police last month.

Nothing really happened during the hearing ... except for the debut of Alway's new haircut.

So, why the extreme new 'do? Alway's sister tells TMZ ... the former model wants to "start over" and believes the first step is a radical new look ... hence the buzz job.

Plus, we're told ... Alway hated the way her hair looked in her mug shot, which probably made it easier to part ways with her mane.

FYI -- Alway's been arrested at least 4 times this year ... so, if she REALLY wants to fix her life, it's gonna take more than a haircut.

She's due back in court in August.

Here it is ... hard proof Justin Bieber is a revolting, germ-spreading spitter.

The photos were snapped Thursday in Toronto, where Bieber was perched atop his hotel balcony. We can't tell what, or who, was directly under him as he dropped his saliva-bomb.

It is worth noting ... hordes of fans were gathered outside the window of his hotel room all day -- he even posted a Bieberview pic on Instagram.

Also relevant ... multiple people have accused Bieber of using spit as a weapon -- including some woman at a gym, his neighbor, and most recently ... a nightclub DJ.
