Pitt Throws Hissy Fit?

Tom Cruise was the first to get the new Ducati Desmosedici RR motorcycle and Brad Pitt threw a tantrum, at least according to e-mails obtained by TMZ.

The e-mails, sent by a UPS exec to various freight terminals,instructed that all shipments of the bike be stopped immediately until Brad got his delivered. A UPS source claims the shipping freeze ticked off Denzel Washington and Michael Jordan, both of whom allegedly complained.

Reps for both Brad and Ducati say it's not true -- that Brad never ordered the bike and was never supposed to receive one. We contacted UPS, but rather than deny the story, the UPS exec repeated several times, "I do not want to comment on that." Reps for Washington and Jordan were mum.

If you want to see the e-mails and judge for yourself, watch TMZ TV tonight. Check local listings for time and station.

Man Eats Ground During Fashion Week


Usually when it's Fashion Week, it's the runway models who are taking big spills.

But on a cold, wet morning, we ran into this self-described acrobat in Bryant Park, just outside the show tents, and even though we warned him, you won't quite believe what he tried ... and how it (and he) ended up.

Ex-Yank Wife's Mugshot -- Crazazy Classic!


Don MattinglyYou've never heard of this woman before -- Kim Mattingly, estranged wife of Yankee legend Don Mattingly -- but you'll definitely remember her after seeing this whacked-out mugshot!

And here's the story behind it: Kim was popped by cops after she confronted Donnie Baseball at their Evansville, Ind. horse farm, accusing him of taking her cell phone. According to the Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Department, Kim was "screaming," "unsteady," and "abusive." The second time cops showed up at the house, Kim was sitting in a car, and they arrested her.

Don Mattingly just resigned as the hitting coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers, citing "family problems."

2. Brad Pitt is on a much higher level of public esteem, than Cruise! He has proven himself as an actor. as a humanitarian and as a man. There is no way that Pitt would bother to compete with Cruise regarding this matter or any other. Cruise indulges himself and excuses it with his Scientology mumble jumble. Pitt and Jolie care about children and the problems beyond their own front yard. Besides, Pitt can well afford whatever he wants, he simply prefers to live a simpler life! As for Kat, well she has sold her soul to Cruise and Ron Hubbard!

3. Is Britney in rehab or something? Seems like TMZ has nothing to report on so now they are making up stories. Oh wait, they do that even when Brit's not in rehab.

4. TMZ, you have some whacked scripting on your page. The "Hot Mugs" section is on the right instead of lined up with the rest of the articles on the page. There are no arrows. Maybe you guys were thinking about putting it on there and didn't finish?

6. TMZ can't just report news, it has to be gutter and all made up and not even interesting at that. Take a lesson from PEOPLE and give us some good news as well.

8. Geee! Tom & Brad, you can tell where your prioties are; ya'll have too much time on your hands, maybe you should reconsider and spend your money on a worthwhile cause, instead of fighting who gets the bike first. Shame on the both of you.

11. Bottom line is Britney was given every chance in the book to get it together. She chose party's instead of her boys! The judge was feed up because she would NOT follow the courts orders. Yes she is young but that is NO excuse for abuse of drugs or her children. God Bless Brit and pray for her but she cannot handle life or those little ones and should not be able to have them unsupervised. I think she should be required to take hair follicle tests monthly before visits! That's what I would do if I could put down the law. But who am I? Just a mother that cares.
For anyone to say that she has done nothing wrong...they must be in the party and not life mode too!

12. Wow, This is a boring day for TMZ. How long is Brittney in the hospital??? 13 more days. Maybe now that she can't be hounded by you, YOU can focus on your lives and try to remember what it feels like when someone wont stop bothering you and what it feels like to be laughed at because of the story someone told and blew out of proportion about you......That's right we have all been there....

13. I love how Kat McPhee walks around hiding her face as if she's some huge international celebrity. Got news for you, Kat-- you could completely expose your face and most people probably wouldn't know who you are. Get over yourself!!

14. TMZ will say anything for a story. They make up a headline and the story has nothing to do with the headline. Just a bunch of overzealous gossipers.
