'Real Housewives' We Want Back In ... In Florida

Published | Updated

The 'Real Housewives' are headed back to the Sunshine State, but it won't be to Miami.

TMZ has learned that Bravo has already hired casting directors for a new franchise in Florida, but they aren't set on a location. West Pam Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton are all on the table.

What Bravo's looking for is drama and they'll go wherever they can find good storylines. Miami had a 3-season run and produced household names like Joanna Krupa and Larsa Pippen, but the ratings were terrible.

Fact is ... Miami really is an attractive option, what with South Beach. But in the Housewives world, the city is tainted, so it's off to greener pastures, or intracoastals.

Published | Updated

"Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda blasted Donald Trump for his Twitter attack on San Juan's mayor ... bluntly telling the Prez he's got a clear path to hell waiting for him.

Miranda's comments come in response to Trump saying San Juan's mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz is showing poor leadership in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico ... and accusing her of being nasty to him because Democrats told her to.

Lin-Manuel fired back Saturday morning, saying ... "You're going straight to hell ... No long lines for you. Someone will say, 'Right this way, sir.' They'll clear a path." He continued by defending Cruz for working nonstop while Trump golfs ... and called the Prez a "congenital liar."

Miranda is of Puerto Rican descent and has been pushing hard to get help for the island hit by Hurricane Maria, and like San Juan's mayor ... he clearly doesn't believe Trump's doing enough.

David Spade's parting ways with one of his tricked out rides ... and it can be yours for a pretty reasonable price.

Spade's selling his recently revamped 1987 Buick Grand National -- aka his "troublemaker car" -- which was once featured on "Jay Leno's Garage." We're told he's unloading the car, which he's had for 12 years, because he doesn't have room for it anymore.

NBA Memo Warns Kneel at Your Own Risk

Published | Updated

The NBA has circulated a memo warning players if they don't stand for the National Anthem they do so at their own peril.

According to the memo, obtained by ESPN, "the league office will determine how to deal with any possible instance in which a player, coach, or trainer does not stand for the anthem."

The memo goes on to say the rule is compulsory ... teams "do not have the discretion to waive" the rule.

It's interesting ... the memo doesn't say it will discipline players who don't stand but it's clearly designed to inhibit them from breaking ranks.

The memo does not address players, coaches and owners locking arms before the Anthem is played.

THE HUSBAND IS MAD

Paula Deen is an accomplished chef, so it's no surprise she knows how to handle a hot potato ... kneeling during the National Anthem.

We got Paula Friday night in WeHo leaving Craig's, and she clearly didn't want to go near the kneeling controversy, which was originally a Black Lives Matter protest. Paula was skewered a few years back after stories surfaced she had used the n word, so it's no surprise she zipped it.

She did, however, volunteer hubby Michael Groover was super upset over the protest.
