Boosie Badazz is putting his $600,000 Trump pardon nightmare on national TV ... telling "60 Minutes" he thought dropping that kind of cash meant clemency was basically a done deal.

The rapper sat down for a "60 Minutes" investigation into so-called "pardon brokers" ... political operatives who charge huge fees while claiming they can get cases in front of President Trump.

Boosie says he handed Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl $600K upfront after being led to believe paying up would get him a pardon ... but no pardon ever came.

Tough news for longtime fans of "Sister Wives" star Kody Brown and his one remaining wife, Robyn ... the couple is NOT returning for the upcoming season of the popular TLC reality show.

TLC just dropped the season 21 trailer, and right off the bat they told fans Kody and Robyn would no longer be involved.

It's a huge shocker ... Kody and Robyn have been 'Sister Wives' staples ... appearing on the show for the past 16 years.

The two have yet to comment on their dramatic exit.

Brandi Glanville's 'Real Housewives' connections are paying off ... and we mean that literally -- because a bunch of stars with ties to the show donated to pay her medical bills.

As of Saturday morning, Glanville's GoFundMe -- set up to offset the cost of the bills connected to her highly resistant ESBL Klebsiella and Enterobacter with biofilm, Coccidioidomycosis (Valley Fever), Demodex dermatitis and mononucleosis diagnoses -- has raised about $7,000 of its stated $28K goal.

While she's still got a long way to go to reach the ultimate number, Brandi can take heart that some of her longtime colleagues have her back ... like Kyle Richards, who forked over $500 for BG.

Taylor Frankie Paul says she's not getting down and dirty with anyone until she finds Mr. Right ... and she's teasing that she'd like to find him on "Bachelorette Round Two."

NeNe and Kim famously feuded during their time on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," but are currently on good terms and friendly with each other.

CBS is speaking out against a former "Matlock" writer's claims that the show was a hotbed of racist and sexist comments ... they claim the allegations are a "work of fiction" and want his suit dismissed.

The network filed its motion to dismiss in L.A. Superior Court ... three months after a former executive story editor on the show, John Lowe, sued CBS and claimed the show's creator Jennie Snyder Urman and writers Nicki Renna and Jeffrey Lieber "fostered a writers room environment permeated by sexually explicit and discriminatory conduct."

In CBS' filing -- which calls Lowe's claims "demonstrably inaccurate and maliciously fabricated" -- producers and witnesses submitted declarations saying that Urman never used the slur "C***teenth" during the Juneteenth conversation ... something Lowe alleged.

In court docs, obtained by TMZ, the supermodel raises questions about producers' claim that the final doc released on Netflix was the product of "ordinary editorial decisions."
