WWE Superstar Seth Rollins says he’s in full support of the writers and actors striking in Hollywood … but tells TMZ Sports there’s a bit of a “silver lining” in the situation, ’cause it gives people a new opportunity to check out wrestling!!

Of course, SAG-AFTRA decided to join the Writers Guild of America on the picket line last week … effectively shutting Hollywood down after tense negotiations with the studios.

Seth makes it clear he is siding with the talented actors and writers fighting for what they want … but he welcomes any first-time fans to watch some wrestling in the meantime!!

“I know it’s a difficult time for the actors and the writers,” Seth said at LAX this week. “I believe they’re doing the right thing asking for what they deserve. I stand by them.

“But it is a fortunate part of not being part of a union that we’re able to still perform and, for our audiences and people who may not be familiar, now they get the opportunity to tune in and see what we’re all about.”

Seth added the new fans couldn’t come at a better time … ’cause the current roster of talent is the greatest its ever been.

Howard Stern gave fans a big shock, going live on his own station without warning … and he brought some of Hollywood’s biggest names along with him to hijack the airwaves.

Stern’s SiriusXM show went live Sunday night — it was NOT a promoted show — and said he was going back to his roots to spin some tracks, but he wasn’t alone in the studio.

Howard’s pals Jimmy Fallon, Drew Barrymore, Robert Downey Jr., Brooke Shields and Jon Bon Jovi all jumped on the mic with him, making the surprise airing a real star-studded event.

Sounds like the gang was having dessert together when the idea came up for the radio host to play some tunes — which is why his celebrity takeover was so spur-of-the-moment.

They all picked out some of their favs, with JBJ choosing The Eagles’ “Hotel California” — and the rock legend even belted out the hit with Jimmy and Robert!

Vanna White is awesome!!! She jumped on the TMZ Celebrity Tour Buss Saturday in the middle of her ice cream run, and who knew her son was so hot!

Vanna and 29-year-old Nikko had just hit up Jenni’s Ice Cream shop in Bev Hills when our tour guide spotted her. Vanna jumped on the bus and had loads of fun with our guests.

TMZ broke the story, she’s demanding at least half of what Pat Sajak makes if she’ll continue her more than 40-year reign on the show. Pat makes around $15 million — Vanna makes $3 mil and hasn’t gotten a bump in 18 years. Remember, even “Wheel” refers to her and Pat as “the stars of the show,” not distinguishing between the two.

If Vanna exits at the same time Pat hangs it up, it leaves the show without any familiar faces.

Everyone connected to the negotiations has gone radio silent, although a few weeks back a source with direct knowledge described the negotiations between Vanna and Sony as “very difficult.”

Ron Perlman is super pissed at the studio executive who wants to bleed striking writers dry before coming to the table to end one of two Hollywood strikes … so much so, he’s making threats.

The “Hellboy” star did not mince words in a since-deleted social media rant Friday, making some ominous threats towards the anonymous studio exec who was quoted as saying studios are purposefully delaying negotiations with the Writers Guild of America “until union members start losing their apartments and losing their houses.”

In the video, an incensed Ron says … “Listen to me, motherf*****, there’s a lot of ways to lose your house. Some of it is financial, some of it is karma, and some of it is just figuring out who the f*** said that — and we know who said that — and where he f****** lives.”

Ron continues … “There’s a lot of ways to lose your house. You wish that on people, you wish that families starve, while you’re making $27 f***** million a year for creating nothing? Be careful, motherf*****. Be really careful, ’cause that’s the kind of s*** that stirs s*** up.”

The rant comes in response to a Deadline article this week that quotes anonymous studio executives as revealing their strike plan is to let writers fall into dire straights in order to force a studio-friendly deal.

Doc Rivers says he has no idea if he’ll ever return to an NBA sideline … the coaching great tells TMZ Sports his future in the sport is completely up in the air.

We spoke with Rivers — who was recently let go from his gig with the Philadelphia 76ers — outside Jon & Vinny’s in LA this week … and he made it clear his main focus is enjoying his recently-cleared schedule.

“I don’t know what I’m gonna do,” Rivers told us. “I’m just gonna enjoy life.”

The championship-winning coach was fired back in May after going 154-82 through three seasons in the City of Brotherly Love … and if a coaching job isn’t in the cards, there are rumblings he could put on the headset for a broadcasting role with ESPN.

Rivers didn’t tip his hand on what’s next for him … but certainly seemed to be in great spirits as he deflected questions about whether teams were calling his line.

“I just enjoy life,” he told us … adding he was having a “phenomenal” summer.

The 61-year-old former NBA star is one of the most successful coaches in league history … leading the sideline for the Magic, Celtics, Clippers and Sixers through the years.

Lindsay Lohan looks ready to welcome her first child, and not just because her baby bump’s growing … the kid’s nursery is also coming together.

The actress showed off her pregnancy progress Wednesday, plus the room she’s preparing for her kid.

Lindsay says she designed the nursery with Nestig, a furniture and decor brand for little ones, and she’s drawn inspiration from the beach.

TMZ broke the story … Lindsay’s pregnant with a boy — and, as you can see, she’s going kinda traditional with a mostly blue decor.

Looks like Lindsay’s kid will be chilling with a huge teddy bear and a sweet crib once he arrives. We don’t know her due date, but considering she announced the pregnancy back in March … it’s a good bet she’s into her third trimester.

Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix can’t avoid each other — they’re back to sharing the same space publicly for the first time since the explosive “Vanderpump Rules” reunion, and yes … producers got it all on camera.

The whole ‘VPR’ cast flocked to SUR Restaurant in WeHo Tuesday, where James Kennedy was DJing — apart from Tom and Ariana, Tom Schwartz stepped in … as did Katie Maloney and Scheana Shay. Sources on the scene tell us the boss lady, Lisa Vanderpump, was there too, hosting a dinner for the whole gang.

Tom and Ariana weren’t spotted together while at the spot, but they were for sure under the same roof … so there’s gotta be some tension there.

Sandoval might have dodged Ariana, but he and Scheana got into a pretty intense argument — it’s hard to hear most of the conversation, but at one point you definitely hear her shout, “If you hadn’t f***ed Raquel” … before storming away.

As we reported, TMZ obtained footage of the Toms getting into a bit of a heated argument this week as the cameras rolled, so it seems the beating Sandoval’s been taking since his affair with Raquel Leviss will continue into the next season.

Joseline Hernandez still hadn’t cooled down when cops arrived after her epic beatdown of Big Lex … and body cameras captured her violent, profanity-laced rage from start to finish.

The “Love & Hip Hop” alum was met by several Sunrise PD officers last month in South Florida — and this new footage, obtained by TMZ, shows her immediately launching, physically and verbally, at law enforcement.

Right off the bat, she shouts she doesn’t want any white men touching her, and things quickly ramp up from there.

Joseline chucks her phone at a guy trying to calm her down — who seems to be the same person heard calling Lex a “dumb ass bitch” during the initial confrontation. Cops step in, but she shoves one of them … resulting in multiple officers taking her to the ground.

Throughout the struggle to take her into custody, you can hear Joseline shouting homophobic and racial slurs at the cops after getting cuffed. She even appears to resist while they walk her out, which is when officers pick up her legs to carry her out.

Joseline’s intense arrest followed her violent altercation with Lex.

As we reported, the 2 women went at it after Floyd Mayweather and John Gotti III’s exhibition fight — Joseline drew a massive crowd backstage as she put Lex in a headlock.

“Snowfall” star Damson Idris‘ home was subject to a burglary earlier this month … but we’re told the damage the thieves caused in the home outweighed what they got away with in goods.

Law enforcement tells TMZ … the alleged thieves broke into Damson’s L.A.-area house July 3, smashing a glass door to get inside.

We’re told they eventually left with Damson’s small safe, but the joke’s on them — because our sources say it only held about $500 worth of stuff … though it’s not totally clear what was inside.

What’s more, we’re told the suspects did more damage breaking in and stealing the safe than what they took home — telling us it’s about a $2K bill to fix what was busted.

LAPD is investigating the incident — we’re told cops will be reviewing the security cameras in the house and will be checking out neighbors’ videos too. So far, no arrests have been made.

Adam DeVine‘s looks over the years are “Bumpin!”

Here is a 28-year-old version of the “Workaholics” comedian flashing his charming smile and throwin’ a thumbs up at the “Pitch Perfect” premiere in Hollywood, California back in 2012 (left). This was just the beginning of his a cappella role as Bumper.

And, over a decade later Adam is still at it with his impromptu personality — recently attending the premiere of Netflix’s “The Out-Laws” in Los Angeles — ditching the tie and opting for a more casual carpet look (right).

His ball and chain, Chloe Bridges, thinks he’s “perfect,’ but the question is …

Steve-O taking a plunge from one of London’s famous landmarks has him in hot water with cops … who were waiting for him moments after he splashed into the River Thames.

The “Jackass” star tells TMZ … he’s in England to tape his third comedy special, so on Thursday he jumped off the Tower of London Bridge and was promptly detained by cops.

TMZ obtained video of the crazy stunt, and you see Steve-O counting down in front of a crowd before jumping off the bridge … all while decked out in all sorts of Union Jack gear, including an umbrella.

Steve-O says he spent a good portion of the afternoon in a police car and says cops told him their issue with his stunt is it might encourage others to make suicidal leaps from the famed bridge.

In the end, Steve-O says police let him go, and, as far as he’s concerned, the craziest part wasn’t the jump … it’s the state of the Thames.

Steve-O says the river was absolutely filthy … which probably isn’t a great combo with the new big tattoo he’s sporting on his leg. Dirty water isn’t exactly great for open wounds.

The bridge jump wasn’t Steve-O’s only stunt of the trip … he says he also jumped off one of those famous double-decker buses, which he considered much worse than the bridge jump. Yeah, pavement makes for a tougher landing than water.

You’re welcome, England … for the crash course in entertainment.

American actress Samaire Armstrong was 22 years old when she first started playing the role of Anna Stern — the cute comic book reader from Pittsburgh with a witty personality — in the teen drama series “The O.C.” back in 2003.

Armstrong was part of an ensemble cast including Mischa Barton as the pretty and troubled teen, Marissa Cooper, Adam Brody as the nerdy comic book guru and Anna’s love interest, Seth Cohen and Rachel Bilson as the materialistic and at times judgmental, Summer Roberts.

Most recently, Samaire ran for mayor of Sedona, Arizona.
