Can't come out of retirement if you never officially retired, right? That's what NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon's telling TMZ Sports.

Gordon hasn't competed in NASCAR since 2016 season -- but there have been rumors of a comeback ... so when we got him out at LAX we had to know if there was any truth to the chatter.

"Anything's possible," Gordon told us ... "I'm not retired. I'm just doing something different."

That "something different" includes running a racing team and broadcasting duties for FOX -- but Gordon definitely hasn't ruled out a return to the track.

If there's an upside to having your heart broken and your engagement called off while cameras roll for a half hour, showing the world every excruciating moment ... Becca Kufrin's about to find out.

"The Bachelor" star -- fresh off of facing her former fiance Arie Luyendyk Jr. for the first time since he dumped her to pursue Lauren instead -- now has a second chance to find love as next season's 'Bachelorette' ... and will have 30 or so suitors to choose from.

Chris Harrison made the announcement during the extended "After the Final Rose" ceremony Tuesday night ... and the crowd went wild for the fan favorite.

Becca says despite the dramatic televised breakup with Arie, she's ready to move on, and gave a "hard yes" to being the next Bachelorette.

Good luck, Becca!

Courtney Stodden's made the move to officially end her marriage with actor Doug Hutchison after more than 6 years together ... TMZ has learned.

Courtney filed divorce docs Tuesday, but it's unknown at this time whether she or Doug will ask for spousal support. The couple announced a split in February 2017, but it was unclear if they were trying to reconcile ... until now.

The couple has no children together.

Kendall Jenner stepped up to the plate and took a few big swings at family softball practice ... and it looks like she made some solid contact. Kourtney, too.

Kendall doesn't exactly look like Roy Hobbs out on the field, but she does look like she had a blast taking BP and fielding grounders while playing around with her sisters at a ballpark in Canoga Park.

Cameras were rolling on Jenner and the Kardashian gals, so there's a good chance we'll get to see just how much power Kendall's got. We're guessing at least out-of-the-infield.

No sign of Kendall's rumored BF Blake Griffin, but the 2 have been seen a lot less together since he was traded to Detroit at the end of January ... and since his baby mama sued him.

Stormy Daniels is suing President Trump over a "hush" pact she says they drew up days before he was elected -- but he refused to sign.

In the lawsuit, Stormy claims Trump did her dirty by not signing the agreement, which intended to keep her from talking about their alleged 2006 affair, and hurting his presidential campaign. The ex-porn star says she signed on the dotted line, as did Trump's attorney, Michael Cohen.

She says they used aliases -- Trump was David Dennison and she was Peggy Peterson -- in the contract to maintain confidentiality, but he still never signed it.

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Cohen contacted the ex-porn star shortly after the Access Hollywood tape came out. Stormy says Trump and Cohen caught wind she might go public, and "aggressively sought to silence" her with the "hush agreement."

As for her signing bonus, the now infamous $130k -- Stormy says it was routed through an entity called Essential Consultants LLC. She says the company was created right before the election purely to hide the source of the payment. Cohen has claimed he used his own personal funds to pay her.

She's suing to get a judge to rule the agreement is invalid ... which, presumably, would clear the path for her to tell all about her alleged relationship with Trump.

4:35 PM PT -- The fight happened Monday night, and we've confirmed police responded to Tommy's Calabasas home around 10:45 PM. No arrests, but officers took a report.

Tommy was transported to a hospital where he got checked out.

Tommy Lee's face looks like he needs to see Dr. Feelgood, stat -- he says his son, Brandon, gave him a fat lip ... but we've learned Brandon's saying he was defending himself when it went down.

Tommy's mouth is swollen and bloodied in a pic he just posted, and he's laying blame squarely on 21-year-old Brandon ... one of his sons with Pamela Anderson. Tommy says, "My heart is broken. You can give your kids everything they could ever want in their entire lives and they can still turn against you."

It's unclear what sparked the father-son beef, but a source connected to Brandon tells us Tommy was drunk. We're also told Brandon absolutely acted in self-defense.

Also, on Monday Tommy took a shot at Pamela's recent interview with Piers Morgan, where she talked about Tommy abusing her. He responded, "Think she'd find something new to discuss instead of rehashing old s**t."

Usher was getting his ducks in a row days before he and his wife announced they were splitting up ... putting their Spanish home on the market.

The singer's 4,261 square foot home with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms -- situated right behind the famed Chateau Marmont on the Sunset strip -- is now up for sale for a cool $4.2 million.

The house was listed 2 weeks before Usher and his wife, Grace Miguel, announced they were separating. As we reported ... the couple, who got married in 2015, said, "After much thought and consideration we have mutually decided to separate as a couple. We remain deeply connected, loving friends who will continue supporting each other through the next phases of our lives."

They also own a home in Georgia they're trying to unload. They slashed the price to their Georgia home just last week ... to $1.699M for their 7 bedroom, 10 bathroom mansion.

Dwayne Johnson's got a huge shout-out for the 911 operator and paramedics who talked him through a medical emergency involving his 2-year-old daughter.

The Rock says Jasmine fell ill Saturday night in L.A. and he dialed 911. Although he isn't specific about what happened to her, it was serious enough that he had to get instructions on how to treat her until the fire department could arrive.

Usher and Grace Miguel are separating on the heels of multiple allegations and lawsuits claiming he'd given multiple people herpes.

The couple, who married in 2015, released a statement Tuesday, saying ... “After much thought and consideration we have mutually decided to separate as a couple. We remain deeply connected, loving friends who will continue supporting each other through the next phases of our lives."

They did not mention the big D, but it's pretty clear they're headed for divorce.

In their statement, first posted by Us Weekly, they added ... "The enormous amount of love and respect that we have for each other will only increase as we move forward.”

Grace reacted to Usher's herpes accusers back in November, telling us she and her husband are "living their lives."

They were still together as of December, but they've been keeping a low profile since then. Far as we know ... no divorce docs have been filed yet, but seems like it's just a matter of time.

Do you believe in Cher collaborating with Redman and the Wu-Tang Clan?!? You should because U-God says it happened, but the feds gotta step in if the public's ever going to hear it.

We got U-God out in NYC Tuesday and asked him about Martin Shkreli ... you know, the Pharma Bro who dropped $2 mil to buy Wu-Tang's top secret "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" album in 2015. Well, feds have ordered Shkreli to hand over the album if he can't cover the $7.4 million he owes in restitution.

He told us the record's packed with surprises -- like the Cher collab -- and he'd love to see it go on sale to the public, instead of just one person. U-God also hinted at some internal Wu beef about finances.

The man who pilfered Frances McDormand's Oscar has now been officially charged with the crime of felony grand theft ... and the stakes are years in prison.

The L.A. County D.A. has just filed the case. TMZ broke the story, although Frances has no interest in having Terry Bryant prosecuted, her Oscar is technically owned by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and they want the book thrown at him.

Bryant took Frances' Oscar off her dinner table at the Governors Ball following the ceremony and then videotaped himself with the hardware. It's unclear if he intended to take the Oscar out of the Beverly Hilton.

If convicted, Bryant faces a maximum of 3 years in state prison.

The thirst is real for Blac Chyna ... luckily she had a big bottle of water handy to quench it during a very curvaceous Malibu photo shoot.

BC hit the beach last weekend in a tiny fringed bikini with her long hair blowing in the wind ... not that you were paying attention to that.

It's been a wild couple of weeks for Chyna -- date nights with a much younger guy, one sex tape leaked followed by another way more graphic one ... which turned out not to be her.

The guy behind the disastrous Fyre Festival concert is most likely headed to prison ... TMZ has learned.

Billy McFarland, who organized the 2017 festival in the Bahamas, agreed to plead guilty to 2 counts of wire fraud, connected to funds he got from investors in the concert. Prosecutors said he raised more than $1 million.

Nicholas Biase, spokesman for the US Attorney Southern District of NY, tells us each count carries a max sentence of 20 years. McFarland's sentencing hearing is set for June.

Despite the money he collected, you'll recall the Fyre Festival was a total disaster ... with would-be concertgoers having to sleep in tents, or out on the beach after they'd paid for luxury accommodations. The food really sucked too.

Diane Warren was bummed about losing her 9th Oscar but was NOT gonna let that drag her down.

We got the songwriting legend at Madeo Monday night in Bev Hills and our guy told her he saw her at the Oscars and wanted to know if she thought there were any surprises. She shot back, "You saw me? You didn't see me win. Ninth time. Someday."

It's true ... she earned her 9th nomination for Best Original Song for "Stand Up for Something" from "Marshall." We ask her how many more nominations before she finally brings home a statue.

Watch ... Diane manages to put a good spin on the ordeal and even congratulates someone who was nominated 13 times before finally scoring a win. BTW ... sound mixer Kevin O'Connell was nominated 21 times before he finally won for "Hacksaw Ridge" in 2017.

It's coming, Diane.
