Deion Sanders' aunt Laura Jones just gave a SHOCKING blow-by-blow to her violent altercation with Pilar inside Deion's Texas mansion Monday -- admitting she grabbed Pilar's hair ... and beat the holy hell out of her.
49-year-old Laura -- who's married to Deion's uncle -- called in to Dallas K104 this morning, claiming she stopped by Deion's house to take care of some housekeeping items (a job Deion pays her to do) and Pilar flipped.
According to Laura, Pilar objected to her being in the house, and demanded she "get the f**k out." The argument escalated quickly, and Laura says Pilar brushed against her in a threatening way ... so Laura responded by grabbing Pilar's hair and hitting her.
This is where it gets NUTS -- Laura says Pilar then ripped Laura's dress clean off during the melee, leaving her practically naked, and tumbled backwards down the staircase. Laura says Pilar then grabbed a bunch of knives from the kitchen, and brandished them while she called 911.
Right then, Laura says Deion came downstairs to see what the ruckus was about -- and Pilar yelled at the dispatcher, "My husband is attacking me!!!"
According to Laura, the cops showed up minutes later -- and Pilar refused to put away the knives ... so they cuffed her and threw in the back of a cruiser. Laura says the children were present the entire time.
But Laura claims charges were never filed against Pilar because Deion intervened -- and got Pilar off the hook.
Laura also submitted an alleged audio recording of the fight -- claiming she acquired it during her brawl with Pilar ... who's allegedly been recording everything in the house to use as leverage in her divorce.
Pilar's lawyer Larry Friedman tells TMZ -- "Pilar was not booked, charged, or arrested by Police. She acted appropriately in response to an intruder in her home."
Justin Bieber's bodyguard put down an over-agressive photog with one serious haymaker at LAX Monday afternoon ... and the whole melee was caught on tape.
TMZ obtained video of the altercation between the Bieb's protector and the paparazzo -- not one of our guys -- and when the clip begins the bodyguard already has the pap in a headlock.
After several moments of grappling, the photog breaks free to square off with the bodyguard -- BIG mistake ... 'cause that's when the bodyguard uncorks a straight right to the photog's face.
As TMZ first reported, according to Bieber's camp the altercation began when the pap jumped in front of Bieb's SUV and refused to stop snapping pics.
The pap was arrested and booked for felony assault with a deadly weapon. Police believe the fight started when he used his camera to hit the bodyguard.
The bodyguard's battle scars are pretty clear in the photos from the scene.
One of the guys who claims he was beat up by Ray J's bodyguards earlier this week says he was blindsided by the knockout punch and he fully plans on pursuing charges against the people who attacked him.
Phil, who can be seen laid out on the sidewalk in the video below, says he was merely standing up for a friend of his. He tells TMZ his friend told one of Ray J's bodyguards to go "f**k himself" after the bodyguard tried to get him to back away from Ray J's car outside of a club in Hollywood early Friday morning.
Phil says the bodyguard responded by punching his friend and when Phil tried to come to his friend's aid, he was blindsided by another of Ray J's bodyguards. He says he "just woke up on the ground."
Phil tells us he suffered a mild concussion and went to the hospital on his own to get checked. Phil says he definitely plans to pursue charges.
We've been trying Ray J for days to get a comment -- still no word back.
Ray J's bodyguards got him out of harm's way during an alleged run-in with two drunk guys early Friday morning -- this while a new video obtained by TMZ shows one of the alleged victims unconscious on the sidewalk.
As TMZ first reported, Ray's bodyguards got into it with two guys in Hollywood and allegedly handed them quite the beating. An ambulance was called to the scene, but neither of the alleged victims were transported to the hospital.
In the video, a guy can be heard yelling at Ray J, "No, no Ray. I got this ... Ray, get in the car!"
Ray J then drives away and when the camera turns, you can see one of the alleged victims out cold on the sidewalk. Later, one of the alleged victims can be seen talking to paramedics while another is treated in the back of an ambulance.
LAPD is investigating the alleged incident. Calls to Ray J's people were not returned.
The LAPD would like a word with Ray J and his bodyguards -- after the singer's hired muscle allegedly beat the crap out of two drunk dudes a few nights ago.
Multiple sources tell TMZ, two men -- who appeared to be intoxicated -- approached Ray J's Rolls Royce on the street in Hollywood early Friday morning.
It's unclear why the men approached the vehicle -- but our law enforcement sources were told Ray's bodyguards quickly got out of the car to fend them off, and a fight ensued ... during which the two alleged drunkies got their asses handed to them.
Paramedics were called for help -- but we're told Ray and his bodyguards didn't stick around, taking off before an ambulance arrived. Despite the emergency call, we're told neither one of the alleged victims was transported to a hospital.
Law enforcement sources tell us the LAPD is currently investigating the situation -- and wants to speak to both Ray J and his bodyguards to sort everything out. Calls to Ray J's people were not returned.
The director of "Precious" and the producer of a string of hits, including "The Expendables," "Rambo" and "Conan the Barbarian" got into a nuclear verbal fight on the set of a new movie this weekend, and exchanged racial accusations.
Lee Daniels -- the "Precious" director -- is directing an upcoming movie, "The Paperboy" starring ZacEfron and Nicole Kidman. TMZ obtained video of Daniels in a brutal argument with producer AviLerner that went down on Sunday afternoon.
It's hard to hear the entire argument, but at one point Avi says to Lee, "You call him a racist. You know you're racist too. You always pay attention to that."
It appears Avi threatened to fire Lee, saying, "I don't want you to leave, but if you don't apologize to me and you know you should ...." and then the audio is impossible to understand.
And it seems much of the argument involves money. At the end, Lee taunts Avi, saying, "Need some money, need some money?" Avi says, "We paid the scuba divers a lot. Shame on you." It appears from the conversation ... the movie is way over the paltry $15 million budget.
We contacted reps for both honchos, and were told, "Both parties laughed it off," adding, "'We hope the footage also shows them hugging moments later."
A smiling Jack Wagner left a gym this morning as a photog asked about his blowout fight with Heather Locklear ... but Jack wasn't talking.
It's the first time we've seen Wagner since the fight in December -- a fight that got so bad the cops were called. As we first reported, both Jack and Heather have a date with prosecutors in a few weeks, to determine if the matter should be dropped or if misdemeanor battery charges should be filed.
The photog from the agency that shot the video asked if he thought Heather needed professional help. We know her family thinks she does, but so far Heather is ensconced at home with no intention of seeking treatment.
A crazed fan got his hands around DMX's throat for a split second at a concert in Long Beach last night ... and it was all caught on tape.
X was performing at the Cáfe Sevilla in Long Beach ... and was just about to start his second song when someone hopped on stage, and appeared to attack the rapper.
Security rushed right in -- and put the stage intruder in a MONSTER choke hold -- then wrangled him off the stage.
The DJ briefly stopped the music during the melee ... but X immediately ordered him to get back to spinnin' ... yelling, "We don't stop the music for s**t!"
Jeremy Renner was attacked in Phuket, Thailand in an early morning bar brawl that left one man in serious condition after getting slashed in the neck with a rotor ax.
Thai authorities say Jeremy and his party had been bar hopping and ended up at the club where the violence broke out at 4:30 AM, after hours. One of the men in Jeremy's party -- Vorasit Issara, the General Manager of the Siri Panwa Resort -- dropped a glass on the floor and apparently that started the melee.
Six men -- who apparently worked at the bar -- then allegedly attacked Jeremy, Vorasit and the others in their party. In addition to being stabbed in the neck, Vorasit was stabbed in the stomach with a knife.
One source claims Vorasit was drinking and was in a heated argument with the bar staff immediately before the attack. The six men who attacked Jeremy's group were arrested.
Jeremy suffered minor injuries.
8:15AM PT: According to his rep, Jeremy left the bar when the fight broke out ... and was not injured at all.

"Love & Hip Hop" star Erica Mena tells TMZ, the vicious, glass-smashing, hair-pulling cat fight between her and Kimbella Vanderhee has torpedoed her modeling career -- and it's all VH1's fault.
In case you missed this week's episode, Kimbella throws a champagne glass at Erica -- after Erica accuses her of cheapening the video vixen industry by agreeing to work for a pittance. Erica responds by grabbing Kimbella's hair and ... just watch the clip.
