It appears Wendell Pierce got just as good as he gave in his alleged fight with a Bernie Sanders supporter in Atlanta ... now that we see his mug shot.

TMZ broke the story ... "The Wire" and 'Odd Couple' star got arrested and booked for battery Saturday when he -- a staunch backer of Hillary Clinton -- got into it with a woman who's voting for Sen. Sanders.

Pierce allegedly pushed the woman's boyfriend, then went after the woman ... grabbing her hair and smacking her in the head.

It's clear in the mug shot -- Wendell has scratches on his nose and upper lip. His reps have been silent since the arrest.

1:18 PM PT -- Sinead was found at a hotel near Wilmette and taken to a nearby hospital ... according to Chicago local news.

12:15 PM PT -- Cops say they found Sinead and she is safe. She is no longer listed as missing and in danger.

Sinead O'Connor has gone missing, and police have reason to believe she's at risk of suicide.

The singer went out on a bicycle ride Sunday around 1 PM in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette, and has not been seen since. Someone called cops to report she hadn't returned from the bike ride ... and officers are now searching for her.

According to an alert sent out by cops ... O'Connor is being classified as "missing suicidal." She was last seen on a Raleigh motorized bicycle with a pink basket. She's not exactly in typical cycling gear -- black parka, black leather pants and a sweatshirt with "Ireland" on the back.

She got medical treatment back in November after leaving an angry suicidal note for her family.

Rihanna hopped off her Houston concert stage and beelined it to the main stage at a strip club ... where she was just a spectator -- but a well paying one.

RiRi and Travis Scott -- her opening act -- hit up V Live early Monday morning. Armed with stacks, they rolled in around 3:30 AM and stayed for 2 hours.

We're told she was very generous with about $15k worth of bills ... and you can tell from this video -- the crowd, not just the strippers, ate it up. Though Rihanna seemed to enjoy it the most.

Garth Brooks shows more fan appreciation than any singer on earth ... at least for the lucky person who bought the 4 millionth ticket to his concerts.

A teacher showed up at his concert Thursday night in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and she got way more than a good show. The woman was taken backstage before the show, where she met Garth and wife Trisha Yearwood.

She was told she was #4,000,000, and Garth and Trisha showed their appreciation by giving her a new red Corvette and a black Jeep Cherokee -- on the spot. She also got a $5,000 shopping spree, and a trip to Vegas for 4. They're also paying off her student loans.

Bill Cosby has made it next to impossible for entertainers and athletes to get insurance companies to write them adequate policies protecting them from lawsuits.

Various well connected sources in the insurance industry tell us, the flood of accusations and lawsuits against Cosby has scared insurance companies, which now realize the comedian's insurance company may have to pay out tens of millions of dollars to his alleged victims.

It all centers around umbrella policies ... which allow people to get massive supplements to their homeowners and auto policies. Celebs with lots of money often get umbrella policies that will cover $20 million to $30 million in lawsuit judgments.

We're told in recent years insurance companies have been reluctant to write umbrella policies for high-profile people -- especially athletes. Our sources say it goes beyond celebs who commit misdeeds. Insurance companies know high-profile people have become targets for people who just want to make a quick buck.

Chan says everyone should calm down ... the cover up was all for laughs. She says her co-anchor was just joking around and she was played along. She also wants to make it clear KTLA did not order her to put on the sweater.

An L.A. TV station is taking heat after an anchor stopped the weathercaster mid-report to offer her a jacket to cover up her body.

KTLA Meteorologist Liberté Chan was pointing to weather patterns on the map, but the anchor was more concerned about a cold front on her torso ... she was wearing what looked like a cocktail dress.

He gave her his coat, and some viewers felt it was body shaming ... although that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Others felt the anchor humiliated Chan, with one viewer calling the anchor "deeply misogynistic and degrading as hell."

Chan has made other questionable wardrobe choices. Watch the clip below. Hilarious.

Be afraid. Be VERY afraid.

Madeleine Stowe says she survived a terrifying ordeal -- a home intruder putting a gun to her neck in the middle of the night, and making off with $75k worth of jewelry.

According to law enforcement docs ... Stowe and her husband, Brian Benben, were asleep at home last September, when she was awakened by someone rummaging through their master bathroom. Madeleine, who was nude at the time, says she went to check it out -- and was confronted by a Latino man, the intruder, who pointed a handgun to her neck.

The former "Revenge" star told police the man spoke in broken English and demanded, "I want all the valuable, I want something." She says she gave him a bag filled with $75k worth of antique jewelry, and then he made a clean getaway.

A few months later cops busted the suspect, Walter Canizalez, as he was allegedly attempting another heist. Police believe he's pulled 3 other armed home robberies, and he's been charged with more than 15 counts ... including robbery and sexual battery.

Tiffany & Co. is being sued by its former director of marketing after the woman claimed she lost her job because she told some colleagues Catholics believe Jews killed Jesus.

Kristin Rightnour says she also lost out on a $42k bonus, all the result of a casual convo just before Easter weekend when she told 2 colleagues -- one Jewish, one Catholic -- about the party line on the crucifixion.

The Jew apparently got uncomfortable and said, "They didn't teach us any of this in Hebrew school!"

It's unclear who filed the complaint, but she sure seems to be pointing the finger at the member of the tribe.

Kristin says she was subsequently hauled into HR where she fessed up to the conversation but vigorously denies she said "Jewish people killed Jesus." She insisted she laid it all on the Catholics.

Nevertheless, she says she was later fired.

5:30 PM PT -- Services have concluded and everyone is leaving. We're told during the ceremony, members of Prince's congregation, as well as personal friends, shared stories of Prince and religion. Among those in attendance -- Sinbad and Jimmy Jam Harris.

The Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses had cops block off the entire street Sunday afternoon as buses from other congregations began bringing in members of the church, and other invited guests.

As TMZ previously reported ... Tyka Nelson said the family would not take part ... and would not allow Prince's remains to be part of the service.

We're told Wendell -- who played Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in the HBO drama, "Confirmation" -- became enraged, pushed the boyfriend and then went after his girlfriend ... grabbing her hair and smacking her in the head.

Our source says the girl and her boyfriend went to their room and called hotel security, who then called cops. Pierce was arrested and booked for battery. He posted $1,000 bond and was released.

We've reached out to a rep for Wendell ... so far, no word back.

Talk about a shocking comeback attempt ...

The man who owns the Nevada brothel where Lamar Odom overdosed last year says he wants L.O. back -- offering free women and booze ... but is adamant, absolutely NO DRUGS THIS TIME!!

So, why would anyone think this is a good idea?

We spoke with Love Ranch owner Dennis Hof who says sex and alcohol weren't Lamar's issues -- it was drugs. So as long as Lamar stays clean, why not go back to a place he enjoyed?

Hof says he has a strict NO DRUGS policy at his place -- and thinks the companionship and some Remy Martin at the Love Ranch could be good for Lamar.

"First night and 2 girls are on me," Hof said ... "plus all the Remy Martin you can drink."

Hof says he will personally ensure L.O.'s privacy -- shutting down the security cams and collecting all phones.

As for people who will be critical of his offer, Hof says -- "Don't forget, the people who work here are the one's who saved his life. We truly care about him."
