Stacey Abrams already has Hollywood in her corner in her bid to be Georgia's new governor -- and now she's got one of its leading men canvassing for her ... Mr. Will Ferrell.

Will was on the ground this weekend, going door-to-door for Abrams' Democratic campaign and encouraging people to vote early. He was definitely in good spirits about it too -- flashing a thumbs up with a clipboard in hand and a "Stacey Abrams for Governor" T on.

Ferrell even gave his official pitch for Abrams in a video posted to the official Georgia Democrat Twitter account, telling young voters to turn out for issues that affected them.

This definitely isn't the first sign of Tinseltown backing the GA governor hopeful. We broke the story ... Abrams has received tons of financial donations to her campaign from folks like John Legend, Meryl Streep, Denzel Washington, Jada Pinkett Smith and more. 

Will Ferrell spent yesterday in Plains encouraging voters to vote early for @staceyabrams, @SarahRiggsAmico, and all #GADems.

If these photos of Will going to bat (and the doorbell) for Abrams is any indication ... we'd say she's got a real shot in a historically conservative state. #RocktheVote

You know that viral photo of Justin Bieber eating a burrito from the side -- yeah ... that was fake news, courtesy of the same guys who got Will Smith to jump into the Grand Canyon.

As it turns out, this pic of "Justin" that made the Internet go crazy this past week is a complete farce staged by the YouTube group, Yes Theory ... which they meticulously documented and broke down in an explainer vid posted to their channel Sunday. 

It's pretty crazy ... seemingly every major news outlet picked up the story of what appeared to be JB eating a burrito by himself in the park ... biting it from the side, like corn on the cob. Everyone thought it was weird as hell and roasted the pop star for it.

And, get this -- it wasn't even Justin in the photo ... it was a dead-on doppelganger (who's also from Canada) named Brad Sousa. They dressed him up in some Bieber-esque clothes, and voila ... instant viral fame achieved.

Check out their vid to see how the whole thing came together. And, let's remember this lesson ... appearances can be deceiving. 

 9:00 AM PT --  We just got these photos of Ronnie and Jen all over each other during her birthday weekend.  The co-dependent couple is clearly back together, despite the domestic violence.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley seem like they're together again, despite black eyes and police reports.

Ronnie and Jen are both in Florida this weekend, and both have both posted videos though none of them show the 2 together. This is Jen's birthday weekend.

As you know ... their relationship has been downright violent at times. She showed up last week at his home, demanding to see their daughter ... just days after Ronnie posted a pic of a shiner around his eye.  

As we reported, our law enforcement sources tell us Ronnie filed a battery report with cops, naming Jen as the culprit.

George Clooney and Rande Gerber hosted a wild Vegas Halloween party Saturday night, which began with the 2 men at the controls of a jet that flew partygoers from L.A. to Sin City.

The guys took over Catch Las Vegas and converted the space into a full-on Casamigos experience ... black brick walls, black sparkle Casamigos Tequila glitter barrels ... the works. 

The trip up to Vegas looked like an experience as well ... with Cindy Crawford as the space waitress serving drinks.

As for the Vegas party ... lots of stars, including Kendall Jenner, Austin Stowell, Joey Fatone, Jermaine Dupri, JB Smoove, Wolfgang Puck, Karolina Kurkova, Marlon Wayans and Steve Aoki.

The grub sure looked good ... crispy sesame shrimp, Hellfire rolls, Chinese chicken tacos and short rib gourge.

Donald Trump says he's not responsible for the rash of bomb attacks -- a hard one to swallow for sure -- and Megyn Kelly may be out of a job, but she's not hurting for cash. So, we gotta ask ...

Scott Disick joined Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, his daughter Penelope, and North on a family trip to Bali.

Scott's chillin' on the yacht ... with no Kardashian in sight, but he don't care.

Kourtney was hanging with Penelope a lot ... but no Scott in sight.

Scott going on vacay with the Klan is a clear sign of peace ... despite the fact there is little interaction, at least in the photos.

North West was also on board ... who had lots of playtime with Penelope. Kim, Khloe, and True are also on the yacht ... and although we don't see it, we're going to bet the farm that cameras are recording the trip for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

There's no sign of Kanye on the yacht. 

Sharon Osbourne reluctantly agrees with Donald Trump ... that we need armed security at Synagogues.

Sharon and Ozzy were leaving Mr. Chow in Bev Hills Saturday night, when our photog asked about Trump's opinion that arming potential victims is the solution.

We also asked Sharon what she thought of the President of the United States tweeting about last night's World Series game in the wake of the Pittsburgh massacre ... which is both unbelievable and predictable.

Sharon's facial expression says it all.

The shooting that left a hole in the stomach of a Tekashi69 crew member was triggered by threats of gun violence and death ... threats coming from the rapper's own muscle.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Tekashi's crew tried to bully its way into the NYC restaurant where 6ix9ine was supposed to meet with a record exec. The rapper's security was turned away and threatened to shoot the men who wouldn't let them in. 

We're told Tekashi was meeting record exec Elliot Grainge for dinner. Elliot was waiting for Tekashi at the restaurant with his two bodyguards, retired NYPD detective Efrain Vasquez and Maurice Fernandez.  

When Tekashi arrived with his 7-person entourage, a fight broke out after Fernandez told Tekashi's crew they weren't welcome. 6ix9ine then called off the meeting and left. 

Some of Tekashi's crew stayed behind and for some reason insisted on entering. One of the men allegedly shouted, "F*** this, I'm getting inside!"

Fernandez texted Vasquez -- who was inside -- telling him Tekashi's men were trying to force their way in and feared they had guns. 

Vasquez charged outside to back up Fernandez, and then Tekashi's crew member, Shottie, allegedly threatened them, saying, "I'm going to violate you both with gunshots."

One of the men in 6ix9ine's group then allegedly yelled, "Shoot these motherf***ers! Gunfire!"

One of Tekashi's associates allegedly struck Vasquez in the head with a chair ... and two witnesses said Shottie was the man wielding the furniture.

Vasquez saw one of Tekashi's guys pull up his shirt and reach for something in his waistband ... that's when Vasquez brandished his gun, firing 2 rounds and hitting one of Tekashi's crew in the stomach. 

Everyone scattered after gunfire erupted, but police tracked down and arrested 2 of the 3 Tekashi associates allegedly involved in the melee ... Faheem "Crippie" Walter and Zachary Bunce.

Shottie -- real name Kifano Jordan -- has not been apprehended. 

Lance Lazzaro, the criminal defense attorney who reps Tekashi, Shottie and the 2 men, tells TMZ ... "It is my understanding that Tekashi was not present when the incident occurred. Shottie has no involvement with any criminal act. The two other men were victims of an assault. The charges will be completely dismissed at some point against them both." 

It's interesting ... just hours before the shooting, Tekashi got off with probation in his child sex case and the judge warned the rapper to stay out of trouble or risk going to prison.

XXXTentacion's brutal murder should carry more weight than his confession to hitting an ex-GF, and everyone needs to forgive and forget his numerous mistakes ... so says Mally Mall. 

We got Mally Friday in L.A. and asked him about promoting XXXTentacion's music after prosecutors released audio this week of X apparently talking about stabbing multiple people and hitting his then-girlfriend.

It's a personal issue for Mally, who produced the newly released collab between XXXTentacion and Lil Pump, "Arms Around You." He says people should respect the fact the slain rapper can't defend himself from the grave. Not to mention respecting his mourning mother, Cleo.

As we reported ... XXXTentacion was secretly recorded years ago apparently confessing to stabbing 9 people and beating his ex so badly she was scared to death. The Miami-Dade County state attorney's office released the audio, which they were planning to use in his pending domestic violence trial.

Check out the clip ... Mally simply doesn't buy the argument XXXTentacion's musical legacy should suffer because of his sordid past. He also believes X -- who he refers to by his real name, Jahseh -- was turning his life around when he was murdered.

A terrifying gun threat made against Lil Xan earlier this month -- that triggered a concert cancellation -- is now the subject of a criminal investigation ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us cops are investigating a series of threats made against Xan earlier this month. We're told it centers around videos and photos posted by St. Louis rapper VladHQ that show him with multiple firearms and calling out Xan.

One disturbing video shows Vlad spraying bullets into a lake, calling Xan a "bitch" and asking for "smoke" at his scheduled Oct. 10 concert at The Pageant.

He also posted a photo of himself with what appear to be three AK-47s, with a caption that read ... "hi Lil Xan see ya later at your show."

Like we told you ... Xan went on to cancel his St. Louis show after the images surfaced, which police are clearly taking seriously. 

Our sources say no arrests have been made, nor have any warrants been issued.

Vlad and Xan's beef appears to stem from a dispute over money.
