Damon Wayans Jr.
SHOT CALLER!
Drops $2,300 on Booze for Movie Extras

Exclusive
0524_damon_wayons_article_shots_wm_tmzDamon Wayans Jr. became the most popular guy in an ATL nightclub this week ... when he whipped out his credit card and bought a round of 200 SHOTS ... TMZ has learned.

It all went down inside Vanquish nightclub on May 20 -- where DWJ and "New Girl" star Jake Johnson had been shooting a scene for their movie "Let's Be Cops."

We're told the club was packed with more than 200 extras for a crazy bar scene -- and Damon was so pumped about how the scene went down, he sprung for shots ... FOR EVERYONE!

Damon even jumped behind the bar at one point and helped pour the booze ... tequila, vodka and Jägermeister.

Total bill -- $2,300 ... plus tip (we're assuming he tipped).

FYI -- Damon was sporting a full cop outfit for the scene.

"To protect and serve ... booze."

Mayim Bialik
Divorce Final
The Valley Divided!

Exclusive
0524_mayim-bialik_husband_getty
"Big Bang Theory" star Mayim Bialik and her ex-hubby took the high road in finalizing their divorce -- splitting their real-estate evenly -- but upon further inspection it's clear, Mayim was the real winner.

According to docs, as part of Mayim's divorce settlement from non-famous person Michael Stone ... she scored the couple's 1,400-square-foot, 1-bedroom pad in Studio City.

Her ex got the couple's 1,300-square-foot, 3-bedroom casa in nearby Sherman Oaks.

While they're both similar in size, Mayim's pad is up in the hills -- views, mountains, wildlife.

Stone's pad is down in the flatlands -- Target, Costco, Zankou Chicken.

FYI -- The couple married in 2003 and filed for divorce in Nov. 2012. They have two sons together.

It's unclear why they only bought houses in The Valley.

Omarion Fans Sue
It's Singer's Fault
We Got Our Asses Kicked

Exclusive
0524_omarion_tmzOmarion is being sued by two male fans who got their asses kicked by random thugs at an O show ... and claim the singer's to blame 'cause he didn't provide the "tight security" he advertised.

Brunel Jordonne and Kenson Sainvilus filed the lawsuit against Omarion and Ole Bar & Grill in Newburgh, NY, claiming they attended O's concert on September 21 ... and a bunch of fights broke out.

According to the lawsuit, club security tried to defuse the situation by pushing everyone out to the parking lot, but the two men wanted to stay at their VIP table ... where they felt safe.

Jordonne and Sainvilus claim security forced them outside anyway -- where the two men were then attacked by a group of strangers for no reason ... and things got crazy.

According to the docs, Sainvilus was punched in the head several times and security even maced him as he tried to escape the parking lot fight. Meanwhile, Jordonne claims he was kicked in the head and had to be airlifted to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. Sainvilus says he was also hospitalized.

The irony -- the men claim Omarion advertised "tight security" on his concert poster ... and now believe he miserably failed to live up to that promise.

They're now suing for unspecified damages. Calls to Omarion's camp have not been returned.

Amanda Bynes
Provoked by D-Bag Photog, Calls Him
'An Ugly Black Man'

052513_amanda_bynes_brown_wig_launchAmanda Bynes showed a TON of restraint when dealing with a paparazzo who clearly crossed the line with her this afternoon ... but she did call him "an ugly black man."

Bynes arrived back at her Manhattan apartment building and was met by a gaggle of paps waiting to catch a glimpse of her. Bynes covered her face and head with a scarf and some idiot photographer -- NOT ONE OF OURS -- continually kept trying to pull it off her head.

After first telling the guy "You can't touch me" several times, Amanda shot back, "Is it the ugly black one? Oh, there's another ugly black man."

When the photog tries to call her out for the racial remark, she responds, "It's just your face. It's not a black thing ... There's an ugly white one. It's not racist."

Bynes might be a little off her rocker, but she's the only sane person in this video.

Amanda Bynes
On the Loose!
Hunting for Wigs

Exclusive Details
052513_amanda_bynes_launchBeware citizens of Gotham, Amanda Bynes is among you.

Not long after firing off a bizarre tweet of side of her arrest story, Bynes was picked up by a car service this afternoon and driven out of her NYC apartment building.

Our photog was only able to spot Bynes for a brief moment before she jumped in the tinted SUV ... and says the former actress ditched her blonde wig for a black one.

According to our spies, Amanda hit up a wig shop in the West Village. We're told she tried on a few blonde ones, but ultimately decided against purchasing any when the commotion from all the paparazzi became too much for her. 

It's not shocking Bynes went shopping for a new wig -- she tweeted last night, "I need Nicki Minaj's wig person stat! :P"

Amanda Bynes
Claims Arresting Officer Sexually Harassed Her
'He Slapped My Vagina'

Breaking News
0402_amanda_bynes_01Amanda Bynes is now accusing the cop who arrested her Thursday night of sexual harassment ... saying on Twitter today, "He slapped my vagina."

Bynes just posted a long, rambling tweet trying to explain her version of the events that led to her arrest.

First off, she claims she only opened the window "for fresh air" and the cop was lying when he said she threw a bong out the window. She then explains, "He slapped my vagina. Sexual harassment. Big deal. I then called the cops on him."

Bynes' attorney did mention yesterday that Bynes was seeking to file a complaint against the NYPD for "inappropriate actions" by the department, but made no specific claims.

052413_amanda_bynes_court_cbs_launch
Back to the tweet ... Bynes claims she resisted before eventually being hauled off: "Then I was sent to a mental hospital. Offensive. I kept asking for my lawyer but they wouldn't let me."

She concludes, "The cop sexually harassed me, they found no pot on me or bong outside my window. That's why the judge let me go. Don't believe any reports."

Here's her tweet in its entirety, for your reading pleasure: 

Don't believe the reports about me being arrested. It's all lies. I was sexually harassed by one of the cops the night before last which is who then arrested me. He lied and said I threw a bong out the window when I opened the window for fresh air. Hilarious. He slapped my vagina. Sexual harassment. Big deal. I then called the cops on him. He handcuffed me, which I resisted, quite unlike any of the reports stated. Then I was sent to a mental hospital. Offensive. I kept asking for my lawyer but they wouldn't let me. The cops were creepy. The cop sexually harassed me, they found no pot on me or bong outside my window. That's why the judge let me go. Don't believe any reports.

Jose Canseco
I Passed the Polygraph!

Exclusive
052513_jose_canseco_launchJose Canseco took a polygraph test this afternoon in Texas and claims he passed with flying colors ... which he feels proves he is innocent of the rape charges against him.

The baseball legend was accused of rape earlier this week in Las Vegas by a woman who claims she was sexually assaulted by the 48-year-old former slugger back on May 10.

Canseco underwent the polygraph exam today in an effort to clear his name and did admit to TMZ that he had sex with the woman, but claims it was consensual.

As TMZ first reported, a Canseco fan snapped a pic of Jose with the accuser on the same night she accused of him rape. In the photo, the two appear very friendly.

Amanda Bynes
NOT CERTIFIABLE
And It's a BIG Problem

Exclusive
0509_amanda_bynes_getty_article2Amanda Bynes is not 5150 material, meaning she can't be picked up against her will and held for mental evaluation, at least not yet ... this according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

Our sources tell us Amanda has not been diagnosed with any mental illness.  Sources say her parents are worried there are signs she might be bipolar or schizophrenic, but Amanda has been unwilling to undergo psychiatric testing.

We're told her parents would like to create an involuntary conservatorship, similar to Britney Spears, but Amanda's conduct is not so over the line that a judge would take away her freedom. 

Ditto for a 5150 psychiatric hold, which would allow authorities to put Amanda in a mental facility against her will for 72 hours for mental evaluation.  We're told authorities just don't have the goods.  In fact, Amanda was taken to a hospital after her arrest Thursday night and the shrinks didn't think an involuntary hold was warranted.

There's one other option to get a diagnosis. If Amanda is so out of it she can't understand the nature of the criminal cases that have been filed against her ... a judge can halt the proceedings and order a psychiatric evaluation.  Amanda has been involved in 3 criminal cases in California recently, and there was NO effort to go this route.  That's because she has always been lucid in court.

If you watch the video of Friday's court hearings, Amanda clearly understands what's going on and is actually sharp when answering the judge's questions.

052413_amanda_bynes_court_cbs_launch
Short story -- she has to act a lot crazier before authorities can take some of her freedom away and find out what's causing her bizarre conduct.

Chris Tucker's Tax Debt
$1,000,000 Down
12 More to Go!

Exclusive
0524_chris_tucker_gettyComedian Chris Tucker is finally getting serious about paying off his enormous $12 million tax debt ... so much so the actor cut a check (okay, two checks) for almost $1 MILLION.

As TMZ first reported, the "Rush Hour" star is knee deep in tax problems. The IRS says he owes over $11.5 million in unpaid taxes from a slew of years. Plus, the state of Georgia says he owes $590,000 from 2007. All totaled, he owes over $12 million.

CT took the hint to cough up some cash and paid off the GA state tax lien ... PLUS another GA tax lien no one even knew he had. The breakdown:

1.  $592,594.82 for 2007 -- PAID
2.  $392,332.16 for 2006 -- PAID

All in all, "The Silver Linings" star dropped $985.028.98 chipping away at those pesky tax bills.

And this is how we assume he celebrated ...

Frances Bean to Kendall Jenner
Nobody Wants to Hear About Your Pity Party

0525_Kendall-Jenner_bean_cobain_gettyFrances Bean Cobain ended one war with Kendall Jenner, but then started another ... calling KJ a self-absorbed rich kid who complains about her problems on Twitter to get attention.

The war of words started earlier this week when Frances called Kendall a "f**king idiot" after Kendall complained on Twitter that she wished "things could be easier sometimes" -- Frances taking offense to someone as well off as Kendall complaining about life to total strangers.

Kendall responded rather eloquently, saying she was aware she is "very privileged and blessed" but asking, "who are u to judge me?"

Well it took Frances a few days to consider that question, and last night she apologized (sort of) by saying "I don't know you nor do I think ur a bad person" ... while also slamming Kendall again by writing, "Publicly complaining about how hard your life is is completely self serving ... I believe that venting about ones problems via the Internet is a blatant cry for attention. "

She also offered this piece of advice, which also served as another insult toward Kendall: "I try to deal w/ pain in a manner that pertains to my real life not in a way where strangers throw me a pity party."

So we ask ...

Should the rich complain?

  • Yes
