10:00 AM PT -- Law enforcement tells TMZ, Bufanda jumped off a building in L.A. and a transient found his body laying on the sidewalk around 1 AM Wednesday. Bufanda left a suicide note that was found on or near his body which gave the names of his parents along with a "thank you" to people in his life.

10:48 AM PT -- Bufanda's manager, Kirsten Solem tells us his suicide comes as a complete shock ... Solem says the actor didn't struggle with substance abuse and never showed any outward signs of an emotional struggle.

Brad Bufanda -- an actor best known for his role on "Veronica Mars" -- has committed suicide ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for Bufanda confirmed with us the actor committed suicide Wednesday. The details of his death are unclear.

Brad had a recurring role as Felix Toombs on "Veronica Mars" during seasons 1 and 2. He also appeared on other TV shows like "CSI: Miami," "Malcolm in the Middle," "Boston Public" and "Days of our Lives" ... and had a part in the 2004 film, "A Cinderella Story."

He was 34.

Tennis superstar Caroline Wozniacki is engaged again ... to another athlete!

The former #1 player in the world said, 'Yes' to NBA star David Lee ... 8 months after going public with their relationship.

"Happiest day of my life yesterday saying yes to my soulmate," Wozniacki said ... while posting a photo of her MASSIVE engagement ring.

FYI, Lee has reportedly made more than $92 MILLION during his NBA career -- so ... not bad!

Wozniacki was previously engaged to golfer Rory McIlroy -- but things ended terribly in 2014 when he called things off AFTER they sent out the wedding invitations.

They've both moved on ... and Lee seems like he's in for the long haul.

Congrats!

Andy Dick was off the rails Thursday night, threatening to grope a TMZ female photog, steadfastly refusing to apologize for allegedly sexually harassing people and talking about killing himself.

Dick was clearly drunk as he told our photog he knows Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey and others accused of sexual harassment or assault, and he says, like him, all they were trying to do was get a date.

Dick has been accused of licking people, groping their genitals and unwanted kissing. He cops to licking and, in the face of denying the other allegations, he threatens to grope our photog.

Selena Gomez is now reading to little kids ... and it looks staged AF.

The singer took a stroll Thursday at a park in Burbank where she arrived with a friend both wearing attire totally NOT conducive for a park visit. White booties? Really?!

Selena and her friend -- BTW, also wearing booties -- looked like they knew what they were there for ... to appear like little kids at heart and be moved by a little girl reading a book while sitting on the swing.

Sweet, but staged, don't you think?

Justin Bieber was the one who pursued Selena Gomez, not vice versa, and it took some convincing on his part to prove to her reigniting the relationship would be a good thing.

Sources connected to both Justin and Selena tell TMZ, Selena's life-threatening medical emergency -- which ended successfully with a kidney transplant -- refocused Justin. As one source put it, Bieber didn't know how much she still meant to him until he realized she could die ... and that made all the difference.

Justin pursued Selena while she was still in a relationship with The Weeknd, although that relationship had been fizzling for months.

As TMZ reported, Selena's family was adamantly against her getting back with Justin, calling him "vile" and blaming him for Selena's severe bout of depression that landed her in rehab.

As one source put it, "Selena had to be won over." She had her doubts, but Justin was persuasive.

There have been some reports that Justin's relationship with Selena is rooted in music and not romance ... in other words, it's good business for the 2 of them to get together and collaborate on songs. Our sources says Justin and Selena are not collaborating in any way.

One thing's for sure ... they're full on back together.

G.O.A.T. recognize G.O.A.T.

Kobe Bryant just praised the hell out of Conor McGregor -- saying the UFC fighter is an absolute "animal" ... who's a "genius" in the octagon.

The Mamba was in NYC to promote his Body Armor sports drink at an event that included UFC stars like Cody Garbrandt, Dana White and Francis Ngannou ... when the topic turned to Conor.

"Conor's an animal, bro," Kobe said ... "I think his personality, I think his temperament, I think his style, on top of the genius nature in which he fights gives him a great opportunity to really propel the league to another level."

"I love everything about Conor."

El Chapo can't remember a damn thing and is depressed as hell ... and that's why his lawyers are begging a judge to let a doc take a look at him in jail.

Lawyers for the drug lord want the judge to allow for a neuropsychological evaluation at the Metropolitan Correctional Facility because in just the last month he can't remember people, places and events.

In new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... lawyers say Chapo suffers from headaches, ringing in his ears and throat pain ... claiming none of it has been looked at by doctors. Plus ... Chapo's been denied from buying simple things like bottled water, batteries for his radio and personal hygiene items.

Chapo's condition, lawyers claim, is a result of complete isolation, frigid cell temps, lack of clean bed covers and no fresh air, among other things. Lawyers also claim shortly after just one visit from his sister, the government revoked her visa and she can no longer enter the U.S.

We broke the story ... Chapo's lawyers tried getting him moved to general population but a judge basically told him to stop bitching.

Kendall Jenner celebrated her 22nd birthday Thursday night, surrounded by friends and family with notable exceptions ... sisters Khloe and Kylie.

Both sisters are pregnant, so it's understandable why they skipped out on dinner at Petite Taqueria in WeHo. Kylie especially has been keeping an unusually low profile.

There was still a strong showing ... Kim, Kanye, Kris, Kourtney and her bf Younes Bendjima, Hailey Baldwin and Caitlyn were all there.

Fetty Wap was just arrested for drunk driving after cops saw him racing another driver at breakneck speed ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Fetty was driving on a highway in New York City just after 1 AM Friday when cops saw him drag racing. They say he was going north of 100 miles per hour in a 50 MPH zone as he challenged the other driver.

The rapper, who was driving a 2015 Mercedes, was pulled over and he handed the officer an expired New Jersey driver's license. We're told the cop almost immediately noticed signs of intoxication.

Fetty was given a field sobriety test, which he failed. He then blew a .09 ... just above the legal limit.

He was arrested for 15 charges, including reckless endangerment, drag racing, DUI, driving without a valid license, unsafe lane changing, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, following too close, and speeding.

Fetty was taken to jail. We're told he'll be bailing out soon.

Scottie Pippen is finally ready to tear up those divorce docs he filed -- he and Larsa are officially calling off the split.

According to court docs, both sides have agreed to dismiss the case -- they filed Thursday in Florida's Broward County court. The NBA Hall of Famer filed for divorce back in 2016 ... after 19 years of marriage and having 4 kids.

The legal move isn't a huge shock, considering the couple moved to L.A. together back in September ... and we've seen them around town plenty of times. Apparently, things are going well for the Pippens.

The judge still needs to sign on the dotted line to make things officially official ... but the couple has clearly worked things out.

Cuffing season, indeed.

Lou Diamond Phillips asked the wrong guy for directions early Friday morning ... because the guy he asked arrested him for DWI.

Phillips was driving in Portland, TX when he pulled up to a police officer and asked how to get to where he wanted to go. The cop immediately concluded Phillips was hammered and had him take a field sobriety test, which he flunked.

The actor was cuffed and taken to the station, where he blew a .20 ... 2 1/2 times the legal limit.

He's currently being held in jail.

"Black-ish" star Laurence Fishburne has filed to end his marriage to Gina Torres ... TMZ has learned.

The couple split a year ago but took no action to pull the plug on the marriage until Thursday.

When they announced the split in September, Gina said, "With heavy hearts, Laurence and I quietly separated and began the dissolution of our marriage in the early fall of last year," adding, "There are no bad guys here. Only a love story with a different ending than either one of us had expected."

Judging from the statement, it would seem they spent the last year dividing assets. Celebrities often lay the groundwork before filing for divorce, so the case isn't front and center in the legal system for very long.

The couple has one daughter, 10-year-old Delilah.

Master P says people need to stop trippin' out about his FOX News interview with Tomi Lahren -- telling TMZ Sports the mission was about peace and love ... not war.

The No Limit founder appeared on "Fox News Insider" this week to talk about everything from Trump to Kaepernick to Eminem ... but P got some backlash on social media from people who didn't like him affiliating with conservative Lahren.

Backstory -- some African-Americans view Tomi as an enemy since she went after Beyonce, Jay-Z, and the Black Lives Matter movement.

So, after P talked hoops on the "TMZ Sports" TV show ... Van asked about Tomi -- and P explained why it was super important to sit down with her and talk things out.

Beyonce and Pharrell fans can geek out on some pretty cool items now up for auction ... and in the process, can help a super worthy cause.

Bey donated her iconic wide-brimmed black hat from the 'Formation' tour to help raise money for The Lung Transplant Project ... which raises awareness and money to reduce transplant waiting list times. And the Beyhive will love this -- the hat's autographed and signed "All my love."

Pre-bidding's available now at the Heritage Auctions website, and the live bidding goes down Monday. We're told the hat alone could fetch up to $2k.

Pharrell kicked it up a notch with not one but TWO adidas Originals. The first pair has the hit-making producer's John Hancock with an inspiring message. The second pair will be custom-made for the winning bidder.

Awesome!!!

Mark Wahlberg doesn't need God's forgiveness for playing a porn star in "Boogie Nights" because there's nothing wrong with porn ... so says William H. Macy.

Wahlberg, a devout Catholic, said in a Chicago Tribune interview this week that his Dirk Diggler role was up there on his list of poor career choices. It's a pretty far out statement considering the role turned Wahlberg from rapper to Hollywood A-lister.

Macy played Wahlberg's co-star Little Bill in the '97 film and when we got him at LAX Thursday he praised Wahlberg's work in the film ... as did a random dude in the airport security line.

Macy stopped short of calling "Boogie Nights" his favorite flick, but sounds like he thinks Walhberg nailed the role.

Tamar Braxton will not be divorcing Vincent Herbert, after all, IF he gets his way ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to Vince tell us he's hoping he and Tamar can work things out and save their marriage. It'll be an uphill battle, for sure ... remember she's the one who filed for divorce last week.

We're told Vince is willing to do everything in his power to change her mind, including counseling to discussing their marriage and other issues stemming from her firing from "The Real."

Vince has been telling friends he doesn't want to discuss custody arrangements for their son -- as she requested -- because he's confident things will work out.
