Jesse James
Sooooooo ...
I Cut Off My Pinky [PHOTO]

Breaking Finger
0521_jesse_james_finger_launch
If you're eating right now ... you should probably finish ... because Jesse James just posted a photo on the Internet that will obliterate your appetite.

It should be self-explanatory -- but if you're too squeamish to click, Jesse cut off the tip of his left right pinky. Right under the nail. It's real gnarly, so click at your own risk.

He posted the photo on his Instagram, along with the caption, "Doesn't look like this little dude's gonna make it, Nice know'n you little buddy."

As for what happened -- Jesse called in to TMZ Live moments ago, explaining he was working a machine at his shop in Texas ... and had a little accident (no kidding).

He wasn't too concerned though ... he called on his way to surgery sounding like it was just another Tuesday. Pretty badass.

Ashley Tisdale to Cops:
I Fear My Stalker Will
SHOOT ME

Exclusive
0521_ashley-tisdale_getty
Ashley Tisdale
says her obsessed stalker has threatened to SHOOT her and her BF ... and she fears he's crazy enough to go through with it, this according to court docs obtained by TMZ.

Tisdale was just granted a temporary restraining order against Nicholas Fiore -- the fan who allegedly hammered Tisdale with more than 18,000 tweets since 2012.

In her request for the order, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Tisdale says Fiore is delusional and dangerous -- and has already shown up to her L.A. home on two occasions.

In fact, Tisdale says Fiore once attempted to gain access to her home by pretending to be a delivery man.

But the most frightening part ... Tisdale claims Fiore has been tweeting song lyrics at her that reference guns -- which she is interpreting as threats he'll shoot her and her BF.

In the docs, Ashley begs the court to force Fiore to stay at least 5,000 yards away from her at all times -- fearing, "If an immediate order is not granted ... [Fiore] will attempt to cause or cause severe bodily harm to myself and my boyfriend."

Just last week, the judge approved the temporary restraining order ... but it only requires Fiore to stay 100 yards away ... 4,900 yards shy of Ashley's request.

A hearing on the matter is set for June 5th.

Ray Manzarek
Traveled to Germany
For Cancer Treatment

Exclusive
0521_ray-manzarek_getty"The Doors" co-founder Ray Manzarek traveled across the world to seek out special world class treatment for his rare form of cancer ... which is why he was in Germany when he died, TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Ray's most recent band -- The Manzarek-Rogers Band -- tell us, Ray did tons of research on the best places to get treatment for his bile duct cancer ... and his search led him to the RoMed Clinic in Rosenheim, Germany.

As we reported, Ray eventually passed away at RoMed yesterday.

According to sources, Ray broke news of his cancer to the band in March ... and traveled to Germany shortly after.

Up until Ray told his band about the cancer, we're told they had no idea he was sick. Ray had repeatedly just told them he was "tired," so the news was a shock.

Manzarek's next appearance was scheduled for August at the Orange County Fair ... but that's obviously been canceled.

Chief Keef
NERDIEST 911 Call Ever
'They Were Rolling Marijuana'

Exclusive
052113_cheif_keef_911_launch_v2
This. Is. HILARIOUS ... the squarest hotel security guy ever called 911 on Chief Keef yesterday to report that the rapper and some of his black friends were "rolling marijuana" inside their hotel room, and TMZ has the audio.

The call was made from a concerned security guard at the Le Meridien Atlanta Perimeter Hotel in Georgia who happened to stumble upon a bunch of nice hotel guests who happened to be partaking in some dope smoking.

During the call, the security guy alerts the 911 operator to "a bunch of gentlemen rolling marijuana and smoking ... all in the room ... the room's filled with smoke."

The security guard seems astonished ... because, "I announced myself as 'security' and they let me in the room AS IF IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER!"

The guy also warns 911 to send cops to the scene ASAP because he feared "those guys may just bolt." 

He clearly doesn't understand stoners ... they're not really known for "bolting" anywhere.

Eventually, cops arrived to the room and arrested 17-year-old Chief Keef for the weed ... all thanks to the heroic actions of one really square hotel security guard.

One last thing ... did he really need to call 911? Or couldn't he just have asked the guy to stop smoking? Hmmmmm.

Candy Spelling
Wins Eviction Lawsuit
I Ain't Goin' Nowhere!!!

Exclusive
0520-candy-spelling-tmz
Candy Spelling
ain't no condo squatter ... She just scored a big legal victory against her landlord, who claimed Candy was living in her building illegally and wanted to give her the boot.

TMZ broke the story ... Candy's been living in a $28,000-a-month condo at the famous Carlyle building in L.A. while the finishing touches are being put on her $47 million penthouse.  Seems the work is taking longer than expected.

The landlord sued Candy in February, claiming she refused to hightail it out of her unit ... even though the lease had expired.

But Candy fired back, insisting she had the right to extend her lease for six months ... so that's exactly what she did. The judge agreed, and ruled in Candy's favor.

Candy's lawyer Michael Saltz tells TMZ, her next step will be to force the landlord to pay her extremely large legal bill.

Melissa McCarthy
FIRES EXTRA FROM SET
For Mistreating Little Kid

Exclusive
0521_melissa_mccarthy_01
Melissa McCarthy
is new to the director's chair ... but she's already acting like a BOSS ... the "Bridesmaids" star just FIRED an extra for mistreating her own little kid on set ... TMZ has learned.

It happened yesterday in Wilmington, NC ... where they're filming "Tammy," a comedy McCarthy is co-directing with husband and fellow first-timer Ben Falcone.

The extra, a woman in her 20s, brought along her child -- age approximately 4-5 -- for the daylong shoot by a lake ... and the standard $58 payday ... sources tell TMZ.

Witnesses say the young mom had been struggling with her kid all morning ... constantly harping on the child to "stop it" and quiet down ... loudly enough to disrupt the production, which included more than 200 extras.

Sources say the last straw came when the mom harshly jerked the child up in the air by the wrist -- and McCarthy saw it all. The director IMMEDIATELY had PAs bounce the woman ... saying she wouldn't tolerate abuse on her set ... and that was that.

The woman's identity was not disclosed. Reps for McCarthy had no immediate comment.

Moral of the story: Don't attempt anything shady around Melissa McCarthy ... she's ALWAYS ON WATCH ...

Barbara Walters' Daughter
Drunk and Abusive
During DUI Arrest

Exclusive
0520-jacqueline-danforth-may

Barbara Walters' daughter was so out of control during her DUI arrest, she had to be "taken to the ground" so she wouldn't run into traffic ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ.

We broke the story ... 44-year-old Jacqueline Walters Danforth -- who famously discussed her troubled teenage years on various TV specials with her mom -- was arrested for DUI in Naples, FL on May 19.

According to the report, Jacqueline was in the driver's seat of a Honda Pilot which was stopped by police around 1:24 AM ... after cops received reports about an SUV stopped on the highway without its lights on.

During the encounter, cops say both Jackie and a male passenger -- described as her BF -- appeared to be extremely intoxicated.

Cops say ... they went to place the man in handcuffs -- which pissed Jackie off ... so she grabbed at one of the officers and "began shouting."

The arresting officer states in the report, "I was afraid that the suspect may run into traffic on the highway, so she was taken to the ground due to her unpredictable behavior, then secured in handcuffs."

According to the report, Jacqueline eventually took a breathalyzer test and blew a .218 -- more than TWICE the legal limit.

She was eventually arrested for DUI ... and was released several hours later on $1,000 bond.

Proudly showing off his ripped guns in a sweaty tank top, the 23-year-old singer posted a photo of himself hitting the gym bright and early this morning.

Hard to believe it was just a little over a year ago that Jason fractured his neck and was almost paralyzed while rehearsing for a tour.

From the looks of it, the "Whatcha Say" singer is bigger and better than ever.

Spider-Man
STREET BALLIN'
Is that Andrew Garfield??



Spider-Man sucks at defense ... at least, that's the way it seemed when the superhero took on a couple of kids on a blacktop court in NYC recently -- but the million dollar question ... was that Andrew Garfield??

The footage just surfaced on YouTube -- and appears to be shot right near the Spider-Man movie set in New York.

In fact, you can hear people in the background getting excited when someone tells them the masked baller is actually Andrew, who never reveals his face.

Oh ... and according to SportsGrid, the person who uploaded the clip to YouTube says the blonde chick with the dog is Emma Stone.

We're gonna try to get to the bottom of it ... stay tuned.
