TMZ has learned
Carrie Prejean just pulled out of a talk she was supposed to give this afternoon at the
Capitol Hill Club in
Washington D.C. -- an exclusive club for Republicans only.
An insider at the Capitol Hill Club tells TMZ Carrie canceled five minutes before she was supposed to speak because her camp wanted to avoid a repeat of last night's "
Larry King Live" fiasco -- when she
almost walked off the set.
Carrie faced a fresh wave of criticism this morning after her
former hookup told us she wanted him to lie about her sex tape and tell people she was underage when she filmed it ... when she was really 20-years-old.
Once again proving how out of touch he is with his daughter,
Michael Lohan went on the
Maury Povich show today and delivered a televised message to LiLo in which he insulted her ... and then promised to "save her life."

First Mike called Lindsay a "hollow person" ... then claimed there was "nothing left in her" -- and finally said he "couldn't even look at her."
Then, after the dramatic plea, Michael actually had the stones to say, "I hate to speak out publicly like this..."
Right....
FYI -- Today's show was called "You're 14 ... Stop Lap Dancing and Trying to Get Pregnant."
Stay classy, Michael.
The dude who was arrested for drunk driving a motorized recliner says he wrecked his kick-ass ride because he was trying to pop a wheelie ... and the
CHICK RIDING ON THE BACK OF THE La-Z-Boy threw off his balance!

We just got off the phone with 61-year-old
Dennis LeRoy, who told us the only thing harder to do than pop a wheelie on a racing chair after slamming 8 beers is popping a wheelie on a racing chair
with a chick on the back after slamming 8 beers.
The added weight must have thrown off LeRoy's already dicey equilibrium -- because the unfortunate passenger ended up getting tossed from the ride and LeRoy ended up slamming into a parked car ... which landed him in the slammer.
Don't forget, people ... tricks are for kids!
An allegedly living
Mischa Barton was spotted walking around New York City yesterday.

Mischa ironically stars in something called "The Beautiful Life."
Macy Gray made quite an impression on the "
Dancing with the Stars" judges last night -- but it had more to do with her breaking out the phrase "busted my cherry" on live television than her Viennese Waltz.

It's clear the judges will always remember Macy's first time.
He was only supposed to take
questions from the reporters, but suddenly
George Clooney was taking in a whole lot more when a fake journalist began stripping off his clothes and professing his love right to the Cloon's face!

It all went down in
Italy earlier today when the dude snuck into the presser for the
Venice Film Festival by posing as a reporter. But once he got the mic, the clothes came off and he started yelling things like, "Please, take me George!"
Clooney played it cool -- tellin' the not-so-studly stripper "You know, the tie looks good."
She's still not backing off her
Hitler and
Castro statements -- but now
Aubrey O'Day is singing her own "brilliant" praises, calling herself, "a 25-year-old pop star liberal who had the courage to go on FOX News against three 60-year-old republicans and have an opinion."

And in a move more transparent than her Playboy spread outfits -- her dinner date last night was of Cuban descent.
It's the worst thing to come out of
Aubrey O'Day's mouth since her last
Danity Kane song -- 'cause last night on "
The Sean Hannity Show," the "singer" praised both
Fidel Castro and
Adolf Hitler as "brilliant" men.

Yeah, she's an idiot, but more importantly -- what the hell was Aubrey O'Day doing on Hannity in the first place?!
Jesse James could've been a dead man yesterday afternoon when the train he was riding in collided with a semi-truck hauling a load of tomatoes.

Jesse and his 11-year-old son were among 279 passengers on the choo-choo as it rolled through Monterey County, California -- when it suddenly plowed through the semi which was inconveniently stopped on the tracks.
Amtrak and the California Highway Patrol confirmed
no one was hurt in the ketchup-creating crash ... which would have made for some really, really awesome video.
James posted photos of the wreckage on his
Twitter page, saying "This trip is turning out to be a real train wreck ... train was going 70 mph, good thing the truck wasn't Peterbuilt. Would have been Tragic."
There's a bunch of backstory here, but chances are if you've never seen an episode of the "
Real Housewives of New Jersey," you won't care anyway. Just enjoy this nuclear dinner freakout, courtesy of
Teresa and
Danielle.

On last night's ridiculous season finale, dishes flew, one called the other a "prostitute whore" and a table was nearly tossed over.
P.S. -- Did we mention some of the ladies' kids were around? "Real" classy.
