Tyga has the perfect way to get over Kylie Jenner ... just find a new model.

He did dinner with a mystery brunette at Serafina Sunset in WeHo Thursday evening, and the attraction was obvious. Not only was Tyga staring her down like she was dessert -- and maybe she was -- the chick looks very familiar.

Young, busty, shoulder-length dark hair with a love for skin tight jeans -- and best of all -- loves to rock crop tops.

Aaron Hernandez's fiancee is concerned evidence from the ex-NFL's star's death could be discarded ... so she's suing the Dept. of Corrections to make sure they preserve every single thing that could possibly prove he didn't kill himself.

Shayanna Jenkins -- the mother of Aaron's 4-year-old daughter -- filed court docs Wednesday asking a superior court judge to prevent state officials from destroying video recordings, physical evidence and prison records connected to Hernandez.

And why?

Aaron's attorney, Jose Baez, has suggested Hernandez's death wasn't suicide -- it was murder -- and he vowed to run his own investigation to get to the truth.

It appears Jenkins is doing her part to help Baez's investigation.

The judge is hearing the matter Friday.

Darkness lives on ... thanks to George Lopez and D.L. Hughley!

The comedians decided to get permanent tributes to their late friend, Charlie Murphy, Thursday night -- rolling into Fun City Tattoo in NYC to get CM's famous nickname inked on their hands.

Of course, Rick James gave Charlie the nickname back in the day -- and Charlie shared those stories during his "True Hollywood Stories" on "Chappelle's Show."

Lopez and Hughley had been in NYC for Murphy's funeral on Wednesday when they decided to get the tats. They were joined by close friends Bryan Kellen and Franco Porporino Jr.

Charlie passed away on April 12 after battling cancer. He was 57.

Sandy Gallin -- who repped the likes of Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey, Cher, Richard Pryor, Barbra Streisand, Whoopi Goldberg, Neil Diamond, Donny and Marie, and many, many others -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

Gallin was clinging to life at UCLA Medical Center where he was in ICU after suffering a relapse of multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer.

The former powerful Hollywood manager's condition had deteriorated over the last few days to the point his closest friends -- including Calvin Klein, Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen and many others -- visited Sandy in the hospital.

Gallin's powerful clout in Hollywood transcended into politics as one of the Democratic party's driving forces ... raising millions for various candidates and causes. Gallin, who is gay, also lent huge support to gay rights legislation.

He also found success in real estate ... making untold millions as the house flipper to the stars.

Gallin was 76.

The first anniversary of Prince's death is marked by a couple of his favorite things -- new music, and his fans.

Fans gathered at Paisley Park, Prince's home and studio, on Thursday night as part of Celebration 2017 -- 4 days of concerts honoring the legend who died a year ago today. Huge bouquets of purple balloons flew outside the event.

And there's this ... Morris Day -- lead singer of The Time and Prince's nemesis in "Purple Rain" -- released a new song in his honor ... "Over That Rainbow."

Morris told Rolling Stone the last time he saw Prince, "I thought maybe something wasn't right. I thought, he looked thin, even though he always looks fragile. After he passed away, I just wondered if he knew something that he wasn't telling me. I just felt like he knew. Like he knew that something wasn't right."

Richard Simmons was playing with the paparazzi Thursday, with a lot of help from the LAPD.

TMZ broke the story, Simmons returned home after spending 3 days in the hospital for gastrointestinal issues.

As Richard sat in his garage waiting for cops, a photog got a pic that partially shows his face, which we haven't seen in 3 years ... except for one Bigfoot-like image last summer.

Sources who have been around Richard all tell us he's fine ... he's got a bum knee and often walks with a cane but mentally he's "all there" and is just sick of maintaining the "Richard Simmons persona."

So Thursday late afternoon ... Richard was returning home, didn't want to be seen and knew paparazzi were at his gate. So he and his housekeeper called the LAPD and apparently made things sound urgent enough that at least 4 cops showed up and ended up forming a human shield, allowing a blanket-covered Simmons to slink into his home without anyone snapping his mug.

Cuba Gooding Jr. showed his emotions on his face Thursday after learning his father had died.

TMZ broke the story ... Cuba Gooding Sr. was found dead Thursday in the San Fernando Valley ... slumped over in his car. Cops found alcohol and drug paraphernalia and believe he OD'd.

Cuba Jr. was filming "A Life in a Year" in Toronto, Canada when he learned his 72-year-old father had passed.

The photog who took the pics says Jaden Smith, who is co-starring in the movie, was comforting Cuba.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are official ... so Nick proclaimed Thursday night as he squired her out of a fancy restaurant.

The two dined at Mr Chow in Bev Hills and left together in the same car.

Nick doesn't think they ever really went their separate ways, even though he had a baby with another woman and she was engaged, dumped the guy and then got a new BF.

Fact is ... relationships come and go, but kids are forever, and they have 2.

Damn right Offset from Migos wants to meet the little kid who rapped to their song at Coachella ... and he also made him an offer he can't refuse!!

We got Offset at LAX Thursday and we told him about the kid who rapped to "Bad and Boujee" and put on his best dance moves ... while propped on his pops' shoulders.

Offset not only breaks down the kid's game ... but says he wants help finding the kid to possibly give him the role of a lifetime.

We're on the case, Offset ...

Mel B's former nanny is filing a lawsuit against the singer, claiming she told lies about her in the divorce case against Stephen Belafonte.

TMZ has learned the lawsuit centers on declarations Mel B filed in which she claims Belafonte and Lorraine Gilles told her they had an affair and that Lorraine was pregnant with his child. Mel B also claimed Gilles had an abortion.

Mel B goes on to accuse Gilles and Belafonte of pilfering money from her.

In another declaration, Mel B claims Lorraine has control over her sex tapes and might disseminate them.

There are numerous exhibits and pictures in the lawsuit which Gilles believe will convince a jury Mel B's allegations are a pack of lies.

April the Giraffe's live viewing party is hours away from coming to an end, but when the lights go out, the final numbers for the 2 month long Internet sensation will be staggering.

The Animal Adventure Park in NY is cutting the live stream Friday at 4:30 PM ET ... and it's already had nearly 232 MILLION viewers since it started on February 10.

Total minutes spent watching -- and mostly waiting for April to give birth -- is 8 BILLION minutes worldwide. We're told 1.2 million people were watching when she finally did squeeze out her calf last weekend.

Make no mistake ... April made history, because YouTube tells us her channel is the second most live-viewed ever. Only League of Legends eSports channel has more, and you don't get the miracle of life watching that!

The big winner here is obviously Toys 'R' Us -- which came on as a sponsor, pre-birth.

Peace out, April. Thanks for mammaries memories!

Carmelo Anthony and La La are hashing out a temporary custody agreement in which she will get primary custody of their son ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the former couple tell us 10-year-old Kiyan will live with La La in NYC, but Melo has a totally open line of communication and will able to spend time with his son as much as he'd like.

We're told the 2 believe they can work out all the details without going to court ... it being done with their lawyers.

Both Carmelo and La La agree it's important they work out a structure for Kiyan so he's not whipsawed from place to place while they end their marriage. We're told La La has issues with Carmelo for sure, but she's adamant he's a great dad and deserves time with his son.

We're told they are absolutely getting divorced, even though legal docs haven't been filed ... yet.

The Starbucks barista who blasted his company's glitter-coated sensation -- the Unicorn Frapp -- is NOT getting canned, and is actually getting a promotion of sorts.

Our Starbucks sources say Braden Burson will not be disciplined by bosses at the Colorado shop where he works -- despite his social media bitching about too many people ordering the beverage he calls a nightmare to make.

In fact, a rep for the company told us the brass is interested in hearing more of Braden's feedback to improve the experience for customers and employees. It sounds too good to be true: Trash your employer's product, then get invited to chat with the bosses?

We're a bit skeptical too ... especially since Braden's video has all the markings of a brilliant viral ad campaign. BTW, he's since deleted the vid ... another common viral strategy.

But if people keep ordering the new frapp, and he keeps complaining ... who knows? Kid could make VP before he's 20!

Richard Simmons just came home from the hospital ... with a little help from the LAPD, and under the cover of a blanket.

Simmons checked himself in on Monday for gastrointestinal issues. He returned home Thursday afternoon ... but there was a problem. Simmons longtime housekeeper called the LAPD and said she was followed by paparazzi, and ended up driving into the garage and hiding because she believed they might be on her property.

Cops arrived and found Richard and the housekeeper inside the garage in his Range Rover. They formed something of a human shield -- and Richard threw a blanket over his head -- and went inside the house.
