Farrah Abraham
I Didn't Get an STD
... from James Deen

Exclusive
050713_farrah_diet_pill_launch
Farrah Abraham clearly has STDs on the brain ... 'cause that's all she wanted to talk about last night.

The "Teen Mom" star was outside Katsuya in Hollywood ... when we asked about her new 6-figure endorsement deal for a weight loss product.

The fun part -- we asked if she was present for lab testing (on the product) ... but Farrah thought we were talkin' about her vagina. She was very forthcoming, as usual.

Still, one question remains -- who's watching her kid?

Chris Brown
EMERGENCY LANDING
Smoke Fills Cockpit in Private Jet

Exclusive
0507_chris_brown_chaos_to_couture_gettyA private jet carrying Chris Brown was forced to make an emergency landing in Burbank yesterday after the cockpit filled with smoke after takeoff ... TMZ has learned.

We've confirmed ... Brown boarded a Gulfstream 3 jet in Burbank and was headed for Teterboro, NJ ... so he could attend the Met Gala event.

But sources tell us ... roughly 7 to 8 minutes into the flight, everyone on board began to notice smoke filling the plane.

One source told us, "It was A LOT of smoke ... everywhere."

The pilot immediately turned the plane around and performed an emergency landing back at Burbank airport.

We're told the passengers were scared ... but the pilot was cool, calm and collected ... and couldn't have handled the situation better.

Here's the crazy part -- after the plane touched down, Brown decided he STILL wanted to get to the Met Gala event in NY ... and boarded ANOTHER private jet within an hour of touching down.

Brown eventually made it to Teterboro ... but he didn't make the Met Gala event. However, he DID make it to an after-party, where he arrived with a smile (see picture above).

Question is ... would YOU get back on a plane after an emergency landing?

P!nk
'KISS MY ASS'
I Didn't Fake Sick to Get Out of U.K. Concert

Breaking News
0506_pink_getty
P!nk
has a message to all the haters who claim she faked sick to get out of a performance in England -- "KINDLY KISS MY ASS!!"

Ever since P!nk pulled out of her April 22nd show in Birmingham, certain "fans" called BS on the singer's sick excuse ... and insinuated she doesn't really care about her U.K. fans.

But today, P!nk fired back via an open letter on her website ... saying, "I am a human being, therefore I am able to catch illness. It is beyond my control -- and I can't apologize for that."

"And you know what I've been performing through the last week? ROTA virus. Look it up. I challenge any one of you to do what I do while sick with that. You couldn't do it."

FYI -- Rotavirus is no joke. According to the Center for Disease Control, rotavirus causes "severe watery diarrhea, often with vomiting, fever, and abdominal pain."

P!nk actually concludes her letter by apologizing to her "loyal and understanding fans" ... saying, "I am so so sorry if I've hurt you in any way."

"For the rest of you," Pink adds, "Kindly kiss my entire almost back to healthy ass."

Motley Crue Guitarist
Knocked Over
Onstage by Crazed Fan

050613_motley_crue_splash_primary

Motley Crue guitarist Mick Mars was knocked to ground by an overzealous fan last night after the guy bum-rushed the stage in the middle of a concert ... and sent the 62-year-old birthday boy flying.

The show took place at Spectra Place in Estevan, Saskatchewan, Canada on Saturday ... which just so happened to be Mars' bday.

The band was just finishing the song "Primal Scream" when the guy bolted across the stage, knocking over Mars and then making a run at lead singer Vince Neil ... before security stepped in and hauled the guy away.

The group left the stage briefly to make sure Mars was okay to continue, which he was.

The incident was particularly harrowing because Mars suffers from a painful medical condition called ankylosing spondylitis, which slowly fuses the bones together.

Brittney Griner
Skateboard Clause In WNBA Contract
'I Know What's At Stake'

Exclusive
0502_brittany_skating_tmz_article
Before Brittney Griner signed her fat new contract as the #1 overall pick in the 2013 WNBA draft ... she had to make a promise to her team -- I'LL TONE DOWN MY SKATEBOARDING HABIT.

"I agreed with the Mercury that I would only ride in a controlled environment," Griner tells TMZ ... "No tricks or hill bombing."

Besides being the most dominant female basketball player to come out of college in years, Griner is an avid skater ... who's been riding since she was a little kid. 

"I know what is at stake, so I'll just be cruising. I'll get my adrenaline rush on the court."

Griner -- who's 6'8" and DUNKS -- caused a major uproar during her college career at Baylor when she broke her wrist while riding in a parking structure.

"Before that, I had never been injured," Griner said ... explaining, "[I was] going too fast."

"Once my basketball career is over though, I will be building a skate ramp in my yard, that's for sure."

'Naked and Afraid'
Snake Eats Producer's Foot

Exclusive Details
0501-naked-affraid-snake-bite
This may be the most disturbing thing you see in the month of May ... a deadly snake bit a TV producer in the foot ... and the damage is bone-chilling -- literally and figuratively.

WARNING:  If you have a weak stomach ... DO NOT CLICK HERE.

The zombie foot belongs to Steve Rankin ... a producer on the upcoming Discovery show "Naked and Afraid," which drops 2 nude survivalists in remote locations and films their struggle to stay alive.  

Rankin tells TMZ ... "I was scouting locations in Costa Rica ... As I was traversing through some deep jungle I was bitten on the foot by a Fer-de-Lance. It's one of the deadliest snakes in the world and the fangs went right through my boot."

0501-fer-de-lance-2-1
Rankin says his team hustled him for 2 miles on a makeshift stretcher, drove to a helipad and had him airlifted to a San Jose hospital ... where he got antivenom and antibiotics. But things went horribly wrong ...

"About 5 days later the flesh in my foot had started to rot," he said ... surgeons in Costa Rica had to cut away a serious chunk of it ... he was then rushed back to L.A. for skin grafts. He says he's recovering nicely now.

SPAGO BOOM!
Busted Skylight Panel
Drops Glass On Lunch

Exclusive
0501_spago_skylight2
Waiter! There's a chunk of glass skylight panel in my soup!

We joke because no one got hurt ... but this is SCARY ... a glass skylight panel at Spago just crumbled and dropped glass in the main dining room during lunch service.

The room was cleared -- customers were moved out to the patio -- and repairs are already under way.

A restaurant spy tells TMZ ... the panel merely cracked and crumbled ... but the safety netting inside held most of it together ... only small bits of glass rained down. Again -- so far NO reports of anyone getting hit.

The panels (stock image from Spago's website above) are about the size of your average small apartment window ... and are fairly new ... they were part of the renovations before the hotspot's reopening last September.

And they say there's no breaking through Hollywood's glass ceiling.

Lil Wayne
was hospitalized again for a seizure ... TMZ has learned.
 
Sources close to Wayne tell us ... the rapper was taken to Cedars-Sinai in L.A. late Tuesday night by his bodyguards.   We're told he suffered a single seizure and was treated and released early this morning.

As we first reported, 30-year-old Lil Wayne spent a week at Cedars back in March after suffering multiple severe seizures that nearly killed him.  He spent 6 days in ICU.

Wayne subsequently went on the radio and explained he's an epileptic, and has been suffering from seizures since he was a kid.

Jon 'Bones' Jones
Crutchin' for BBQ
After Gruesome Toe Injury

Exclusive
043013_jon_jones_launchHe may have a cracked toe ... a disgusting, bloody, broken toe ... but Jon "Bones" Jones stomached the pain last night and crutched out for some delicious BBQ in NYC.

In case you haven't seen the injury -- don't, it's gross -- but Jones exploded his little piggy during his UFC 159 beatdown of Chael Sonnen this weekend ... and now, he's gotta use crutches to get around.

In fact, Jones felt healthy enough to venture out to Dallas BBQ in Times Square ... and told TMZ he's doing well and feels good.

Moments later, Jon hit up a street vendor for a bag of warm nuts ... not that there's anything wrong with that.
