Alongside songwriting partner Tommy Boyce, Hart crafted some of the Monkees’ most enduring hits, including their theme song with the instantly recognizable line, "Here we come, walkin' down the street" as well as the chart-topping "Last Train to Clarksville" and the rock staple "(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone."

According to the arrest report, cops spoke with Norman's wife, who appeared visibly upset and told officers he struck her on the chest with the back of his hand during an argument. Officers saw what appeared to be a slight injury. Norman reportedly claimed he was only blocking her hand after she slapped at him.

This romantic Italian bash comes just two months after the pair's first wedding -- a low-key civil ceremony in London in July. That intimate event included only about 20 guests, including Charli's parents and Daniel’s bandmates.

Before you go off "Kicking and Screaming", can you guess who this Emmy-nominated star is?

One of the most prominent women's organizations in the country is demanding the NFL suspend Tyreek Hill ... as Roger Goodell's league investigates the latest domestic violence allegations against the Dolphins superstar.

National Organization for Women president Kim Villanueva told TMZ Sports this week she's livid that despite Keeta Vaccaro's claims against Hill, the Miami wide receiver will still be allowed to suit up against the New England Patriots later Sunday.

"Tyreek Hill should not be playing while these charges are being investigated," Villanueva said. "The NFL itself proudly proclaims that forty-seven percent of the NFL audience is women, and women are watching to see where the league stands today."
