He does have some location suggestions for your next #ShiggyChallenge.

Watch the vid ... Shiggy also gives us his pick on the celeb nobody's topped yet. And, he's right.

"I apologize to our fans, our industry and my family for the impact of my actions [Sunday] night. Effective immediately, I will be taking an indefinite leave of absence from my position to focus on my personal affairs."

NASCAR says Brian's uncle, Jim France, has "assumed the role of interim chairman and chief executive officer."

Story developing ...

Shaun Weiss -- who played Goldberg in "The Mighty Ducks" -- got arrested in Northern California, and based on his mug shot ... the former child star is in dire straits.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the 38-year-old was busted for public intoxication Saturday around 1 AM in Oroville, CA, about an hour north of Sacramento. We're told cops cut him a break after he spent a few hours in the drunk tank -- he was released and not cited.

TMZ broke the story ... Shaun was also arrested a year ago for possession of meth. That arrest came just 5 days after he'd been sentenced to 150 days in jail for stealing $151 worth of stuff from an electronics store.

He ended up serving only 12 days due to overcrowding. At the time, his manager, Don Gibble, told TMZ he had hoped jail would help Weiss get himself on a more productive path.

Weiss worked steadily after the 3 'Ducks' flicks, but it's been a couple years since his last acting gig.

Matt Barnes says "dumbass" Donald Trump is crazy for going after LeBron James on Twitter -- telling TMZ Sports he's convinced POTUS is a racist.

Barnes played against James for years in the NBA and was VERY offended when Trump attacked the NBA superstar's intelligence Friday night ... especially since he knows James to be really smart, business savvy and philanthropic.

So, what's Barnes gonna do about it? He's putting his money where his mouth is.

Matt tells TMZ Sports he's now trying to set up a political run for himself in Sacramento -- explaining he wants to run for mayor at some point in the future.

Barnes says he wants to use his fame and influence to improve his community and prove athletes shouldn't just "shut up and dribble."

Britney Spears' legal team wants a judge to tell Kevin Federline he's wasting his time asking to depose the singer ... calling it unnecessary and possibly harmful to their kids.

Attorneys for Britney's conservatorship just filed new legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- saying there's no need for Britney to sit for a deposition because everyone already knows, she makes a ton of money.

Brit's team also argues the depo could disrupt her touring schedule and potentially undermine the security of her kids if Kevin asks for records that expose private information -- like their travel, school schedule, etc.

She's asking a judge to severely limit what Federline can access ... and to seal whatever does become available.

TMZ broke the story ... Britney's legal team squared off with Kevin in L.A. last week. She's been paying him $20k per month in child support but he's demanding more.

The little girl who was allegedly bitten by Kendall Jenner's dog has a powerful grandfather who is furious at Kendall and BF Ben Simmons, saying they were "arrogant" and uncaring that his granddaughter was allegedly attacked.

Divorce attorney Bob Cohen, who has repped a bunch of celebs, tells TMZ, his 5-year-old granddaughter and her mom were going into a deli where Ben, Kendall and her Doberman Pinscher were sitting outside. Cohen says the dog lunged without provocation and bit the little girl on the arm, breaking the skin and drawing a small amount of blood.

A source close to Kendall refutes Cohen, saying the dog never bit the girl. We're told the dog was startled by the girl and barked ... but there was no physical contact.

He says Kendall and Ben never asked if the girl was ok ... Cohen says they just booked it, leaving the girl behind.

Our Kendall source says the two left after they determined there was no bite ... they'd never bail on a serious situation.

Cohen, who says his family has known the Kardashians over the years, says it's "the height of arrogance" that Kendall and Ben were so uncaring. He says the girl went to a pharmacy where the pharmacist cleaned the wound and put some sort of medicine on the wound. He says the girl is at the doctor now.

Cohen tells us there will not be a lawsuit, but he's pissed at the way Jenner handled it.

Honey Boo Boo has the chance to reel in some serious cash if she can survive the grueling competition on "DWTS: Juniors."

Boo Boo -- aka Alana Thompson -- got $50,000 just for signing on to do the show ... and the longer she competes, the more money she will make each episode. We've obtained a copy of her contract, and the rest of the cash breaks down like this ...

- $5,000 per episode for episodes 2 & 3.

- $7,500 per episode for episodes 4 & 5.

- $10,000 per episode for episodes 6 & 7.

- $15,000 for episode 8.

- $20,000 for the finale.

If you are bad at math -- that is $130,000 total -- or a lifetime supply of "sketti and butter."

Lance Bass shot himself in the foot in the 'Brady Bunch' house bidding war he recently lost by celebrating too early when the deal wasn't done yet ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the deal tell us Lance essentially opened the flood gates for other bidders by prematurely posting the news on social media that the house was his. We're told that invited a new wave of bidders and offers.

Sources say one of the final 3 bids being considered was from none other than Jonathan Scott from "Property Brothers" -- so, you know high rollers were in the mix.

As we reported, Lance feels he was used to drive up the price of the home after he placed the final and highest bid 5 minutes before the deadline last week. He says the real estate agent told him the place was his ... but things changed a day later.

An anonymous corporate buyer -- who Lance only ID'd as a "Hollywood studio" -- had offered a higher price than his after the deadline ... and the seller went with them.

Despite Lance's premature excitement ... our sources say they have no idea why he tweeted the deal was done when it simply wasn't.

Leonardo DiCaprio wanted to make sure he could see clearly underwater while vacationing in Italy with his Argentinian girlfriend -- and by the looks of her ... we understand why.

Leo and his model boo, Camila Morrone, were snorkeling in Nerano, where the couple threw on their flippers and goggles for a peek under the deep blue.

It's kinda funny ... LDC stayed rockin' his full snorkel getup for a solid minute aboard the boat they were on, while Camila opted for an au naturel look, front and back. Seeing how she was nearby for the nosedive ... ya can't blame him for wanting a clear view.

Trevor Donovan is fed up with “greedy breeders” who are too cheap to test dogs for a disease that leaves the animals’ hind legs paralyzed ... a disease his own German Shepherd is battling.

TMZ caught up with Trevor when the actor was out with his pups, Dogbert and Tito. Dogbert suffers from degenerative myelopathy -- a progressive disease of the spinal cord.

The "90210" alum told us the disease is totally preventable, but he's pissed because too many breeders pass on a simple lab test.

Jamie Luner is off the hook in that massive -- $250 million -- sexual assault lawsuit she was facing ... TMZ has learned.

The judge dismissed the lawsuit Anthony Oliver filed earlier this year. TMZ broke the story ... Oliver claimed the "Melrose Place" star had plied him with alcohol and drugs at a party in 1998 -- when he was just 16 -- and then had sex with him.

The judge tossed it based on statute of limitations ... pointing out Oliver had waited 20 years to file the suit. It needed to be filed within 8 years after turning 18, or within 3 years of discovering a repressed memory.

Jamie's reps told us the whole allegation was unfounded, and believed it was part of a "targeted extortion scheme." The rep also said Oliver had a sordid history with the courts ... filing 27 federal lawsuits.

9:54 AM PT -- NASCAR has issued a statement to TMZ Sports saying ... "We are aware of an incident that occurred last night and are in the process of gathering information."

"We take this as a serious matter and will issue a statement after we have all of the facts.”

Brian France -- the CEO and Chairman of NASCAR -- was arrested for DUI on Sunday evening in The Hamptons and cops say he was also in possession of oxycodone .. TMZ Sports has learned.

The 56-year-old -- one of the most powerful people in professional sports -- was initially stopped in Sag Harbor, NY while driving a 2017 Lexus. Cops say he blew through a stop sign at 7:30 PM.

During the stop, we're told officers suspected France was intoxicated and conducted a field sobriety test ... which France bombed.

We're told France's blood alcohol level was more than TWICE the legal limit. Cops say during the stop, they found oxycodone pills during a search of his person.

France was arrested and hauled to a nearby station where he was booked for DUI and criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 7th degree. France spent the night in jail and was released Monday morning after his arraignment.

And sources tell us ... during the process, France was name-dropping all of the powerful people he knew and even mentioned his relationship with President Donald Trump.

The France family is racing royalty -- Brian's grandfather Bill France Sr. (aka Big Bill) founded NASCAR back in 1948 and ran the organization. Brian's father took over the role from 1972 to 2000.

Brian has been CEO since 2003.

Sag Harbor is one of the most exclusive communities in the Hamptons -- where stars like Billy Joel have homes.

And, as one local puts it, "It's so stupid to drive drunk in the Hamptons. They have police checkpoints everywhere and police are always looking for drunk drivers."

Story developing ...

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger's relationship has hit cruise control ... thanks to a couple of Birds.

Chris and Katherine jumped on a couple of those super popular Bird scooters Sunday in Brentwood on their way to a family dinner at Mom Maria Shriver's pad. Chris seemed serious at first, but eventually cracked a huge grin. Birds are fun.

As we reported ... Chris' kid, Jack, has been warming up to his dad's new GF. The trio looked like a picture-perfect fam bam out together last week in Malibu.

Jimmy Fallon took one of his most popular late night games out of the studio and tried it live in the Hamptons -- and it was just as entertaining with way more booze ... we think.

The 'Tonight Show' host was hanging with his wife, Nancy Juvonen, Friday night at The Palm East Hampton, when he decided to belt out some Guns N' Roses to one lucky patron ... while everyone else in the place was watching and cheering.

Demi Lovato is getting treatment at a rehab facility where she will remain for an extended period of time ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Lovato tell us she was discharged from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. Saturday and took a private plane to the facility, which is outside California.

The rehab center is one of the nation's leading facilities for addiction.

TMZ broke the story ... Lovato's team has a plan set in place to scrub the negative people and "yes men" who contributed to Demi's downhill spiral. We're told they enabled her and fueled her addiction for months before the OD that almost killed her.

Demi addressed the OD for the first time Sunday, saying, "I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction. What I've learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet."

Here's Kendall Jenner, Ben Simmons and her Doberman Pinscher just out grabbing a quick bite, right before things allegedly went south with a little girl.

TMZ broke the story, Kendall's pup allegedly nipped at the girl Sunday morning at Beverly Glen Deli in Los Angeles. Someone at the deli called 911, but police didn't respond because there were no serious injuries.

You can see the dog seemed pretty friendly with another customer as Kendall and Ben arrived.
