Bieber's Bogus BFF
Asks for Restraining Order
Beliebers Are Threatening To Kill Me

Exclusive
0617-justin-bieber-king-kevi-tmz-instagram
The famed freeloader known as King Kevi -- who rose to sub-fame by hanging out at Justin Bieber's house and pretending to be the singer's BFF -- now completely regrets his life choices ... claiming the Belieber nation has turned on him in a big way, and threatened his life.

20-year-old Kevin Pederson has filed a request for a restraining order against the singer, claiming Bieber tweeted out his cell number on June 13th ... unleashing a 40,000,000-person Belieber army on his ass.

Kevin says Bieber tweeted out the number as an act of vengeance against reports that he and Kevin are friends -- insisting the two NEVER met.

Kevin claims Bieber deleted the number minutes later, but it was too late -- his cell number had already been released to a vicious bloodthirsty mob of teen girls ... and these girls do NOT mess around.

Kevin says he has since received thousands of death threats and he genuinely fears for his safety -- claiming it only takes ONE crazy Bieber fan to end his life.

Bottom line, Kevin wants Bieber to stop tweeting about him -- and he also wants Bieber and his goons to stay 150 yards away from him at all times.

Bieber's reps claim Justin never tweeted the number in the first place.

Fun fact: Kevin is the same guy who staged late night pics at Selena Gomez's gate earlier this year to make it look like he was hooking up with her.

2 Chainz' Bodyguard
WE'RE NO COWARDS!
And We Were Set Up

061413_2chainz_launch_v2

2 Chainz'
personal bodyguard says his posse was NOT running from duty when gunmen jumped them last weekend ... they were just following the fleeing rapper's lead ... and what's more -- they think the whole thing was a setup.

Harold "Hammer Strength" Folsom
spoke with Power 107.5 in Columbus, OH this morning ... telling the radio station they had just flown into San Fran and were making a downtown pit stop when 3 dudes pulled out HUUUUGE .357 Magnums.

"(2 Chainz) took off running first. When he took off running ... then WE took off running," Folsom said.

Folsom says he heard the gunman yell at the rapper, "2 Chainz ... give it up."

The bodyguard says the whole situation was bizarre ... because the bad guys took 2 Chainz' wallet and cell phone ... but didn't touch his jewelry.

He also doesn't believe the robbers intended to hurt anyone ... because if they wanted to shoot 2 Chainz, they definitely had the opportunity ... but didn't. 

Folsom says he's convinced it was a setup ... but he doesn't explain WHY he believes the rapper was targeted or what the real motivation could have been.

Michael Jackson Death Trial
AEG Live
On the Ropes

Breaking News
0402_michael_jackson-02

It's pretty shocking ... but Katherine Jackson may have taken a giant step today toward convincing a jury AEG Live was negligent in protecting Michael Jackson just days before his death.

AEG Live honcho Randy Phillips had trouble explaining to Katherine's lawyer why he thought MJ "looked really good" in a meeting 5 days before his death when a photograph taken a day before the meeting clearly showed otherwise.

The photo shows a smiling Jackson but someone who looked gaunt and pale.  On top of that, there is testimony that producer/director Kenny Ortega and others were alarmed over Jackson's health.

In the days preceding his death, Jackson had missed rehearsals and was sweating profusely.  He also seemed out of it. 

As for how Phillips reconciled his statement with other evidence, he said, "I was confused as anybody."

Here's the deal ... This case was AEG's to lose.  AEG could have made it simple and just said they assumed MJ was being properly cared for by the doctor MJ handpicked.  But AEG has gotten a little too cute, painting a picture that the jury may not be buying.

Short story ... Propofol aside, if the jury believes AEG unreasonably pushed MJ like a circus animal, they could be in beaucoup trouble.

Charlie Sheen
Farrah Abraham Is a
'Desperate Guzzler of Douche Agua'

Exclusive
0613-charlie-sheen-farrah-abraham-tmz
Charlie Sheen
is FURIOUS at Farrah Abraham for allegedly leaking their private text message conversation -- and TMZ has learned, he's already sent her the most epic rejection letter of all time ... calling her "a desperate guzzler of stagnant douche agua."

And that's just the beginning. Seriously. Charlie does NOT hold back. Here's the full transcript:

hey, you desperate guzzler of stagnant douche agua;

I truly do not recall giving you permission to globally reveal any communication between us. congrats on surviving your lobotomy and an even bigger congratz on the recent attempt at porn.

your daughter must be so proud.

please send my number to middle earth and if allowed, eagerly follow it into said abyss and slam the door behind you. the world will collectively sigh as the pungent memory of you vanishes into the pedestrian troposphere of lame-suck and zero-life.

oh and I'm sure they'll wave the cover charge when they see your tranny-boobs and five o'clock shadow.

bye!
cs.


TMZ broke the story ... Farrah reached out to Charlie back in May via text message, saying she hopes to meet Sheen if she can score herself a role on "Anger Management." Charlie responded favorably, agreeing to meet up, but now ... it appears that's changed.

Translation: Farrah can forget about a playdate with Charlie ... but at least she's still a millionaire.

Farrah Abraham
I'M A MILLIONAIRE

Exclusive
061313_farrah_abraham_tmz_live_launch
Farrah Abraham has back-door'd her way into the 7-figure range ... 'cause the former MTV star tells TMZ she's a bona fide millionaire.

The 22-year-old just called in to "TMZ Live" to discuss her crush on Charlie Sheen ... when we asked her straight up if her foray into the world of adult entertainment has turned her into a millionaire.

But Farrah's swollen bank account isn't just from the sex tape -- we broke the story, she scored in the high 6-figures when she sold her sex tape to Vivid Entertainment. But she's also locking down endorsement deals ... and collecting checks for public appearances.

Bottom line ... the Kim Kardashian Sex Tape Playbook sure as hell worked for Farrah.

Charlie Sheen
to Farrah Abraham:
Hell Yeah, I'll Go On a Date!

Exclusive
0612-charlie-shean-farrah-abraham-tmz
Farrah Abraham is involved in a full on textual relationship with Charlie Sheen, TMZ has learned -- and the two are now planning to hook up in person. 

TMZ has obtained text messages that show the "Backdoor Teen Mom" porn star first reached out to Sheen back in May saying she hopes to meet Sheen if she can score herself a role on "Anger Management."

0612-charlie-shean-farrah-abraham-1-tmz

Farrah even took the initiative ... and asked Sheen out on a date  -- either a parent playdate with their kids ... or an adult get together for some coffee. 

Sheen's response: "Coffee is for amateurs and grandma."

He also said he's down to meet up ... because ... well, he's probably a big fan of her work. 

Farrah followed up with Sheen and asked him to an event she would be attending with some "porn star ppl" ... but Sheen wasn't able to attend. 

We're told they have stayed in touch ... and are trying to work out a date to see each other ASAP, but they're both busy with work ... and kids ... and porn. 

Stay tuned ...

Upton & Chmerkovskiy
WHAT THE HELL
Is Going On Here?

0612-kate-upton-maksim-Chmerkovskiy-splash
Somebody's got some explaining to do ... because model Kate Upton and "Dancing with the Stars" pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy ... the most random two people ever ... left a restaurant together Monday night in NYC.

There were reports the two were spotted canoodling inside ... but sources close to both camps tell us, they're not together. Not even close. They're just friends.

Still, how are they even friends? This doesn't make sense.

Jonah Hill
I'd Totally Iron My Balls
... Maybe

Exclusive
061213_jonah_hill_launch
Jonah Hill
is taking a page out of the George Clooney scrotum-grooming manual -- telling TMZ, he'd totally consider getting his ball bag ironed out to remove the wrinkles.

A little background ... Clooney's joked over the years that he'd gotten some unique cosmetic work done: "I did get my balls done ... I got them unwrinkled. It's the new thing in Hollywood -- ball ironing."

Clooney was obviously kidding ... but the comment JUST inspired a real-life cosmetic procedure called "Tighten the Tackle," which uses a real laser to tighten up excessively loose scrotal skin. (Note: scrotal skin is supposed to be loose)

Hill couldn't believe it when we told him about it ... but he did have a hilarious answer.
