Mr. T.'s pint-sized impersonator, Mini T., says he is NOT available for your St. Patrick's Day party because he's no leprechaun! Besides that ... what's up with renting little people, anyway?

Here's Kanye West at some event in Tokyo on Friday (left) -- and former "A-Team" star Mr.T back in the '80s (right).



I ain't sayin' he's a gold digger.

Dirk Benedict is best known for his character Lt. Templeton 'Faceman' Peck in the "80s shoot 'em up "The A-Team." Guess what he looks like now!

Mr. T...a fan of race walking in the Olympics...not that there's anything wrong with it.

Watch T do damage control after taking heat for appearing in a race walking-centric, arguably homophobic Snickers ad.

Mr. T went on Bill O' Reilly yesterday to talk about Snickergate. The actor defended the commercial, and insists he's not homophobic. He's an equal pitying the fool offender.

The ad never aired in the US, but a Snickers commercial starring Mr. T, a speed walker and a pair of snug short shorts caused a huge homophobic stink for the Mars candy company.

After an outcry from the Human Rights Campaign, who say the UK spot "conjured up stereotypes of gay men," Mars pulled the ad -- which featured Mr. T firing snickers from a cannon at a man who was speed walking in what the HRC calls "an exaggerated manner." Obviously, they've never seen a real-life speedwalker before.

Calls to Mr. T's reps for comment were not immediately returned -- but we can't wait to see what he has to say!

When asked about that Mr.T homophobic Snickers ad, mixed martial arts fighter Daniel Puder said he didn't think speedwalking was a "gay sport." His ditzy blonde girlfriend's answer was a bit more queer.

Mr. T's talents cannot be summed up in one word. Hell, not even two or three. And that's why the mohawk-sportin', former gold-chain rockin' American icon -- who lumped up Rocky Balboa, went on the run for a "crime he didn't commit," and fought side-by-side with Hulk Hogan -- needed a very special phrase to describe his occupation on his business cards.

TMZ has obtained one of T's actual cards, which we proudly share with you. Apparently, the 55-year-old actor is still a giant in Japan -- the back of his card is translated into Japanese!

Mix Mr. T with a duck and whaddaya got? Celebriduck?!

This limited edition, non-toxic vinyl collectible will float in your bathtub, despite being weighted with necklaces.

Yes, it's Mr. T as a duck, and you know you want one. The seller has three available, so start bidding, fool!

He's a certified badass, but could Mr. T be the next Dr. Phil?

The onetime A-Team-mate's got a new self-help show on TV Land -- aptly named "I Pity the Fool" -- and he'll talk about it to anyone who'll listen. When coming out of Whole Foods in Sherman Oaks, Mr. T broke out into a full promo for his show, telling the photog, "I inspire people, that's what I do, I motivate them ... that's what the T is for, for the women and children it stands for tender, for the bad guys and thugs, POW! it stands for tough."

And here we thought it just stood for his last name, Tureaud.

Mr. T has a message for female fans -- please don't be afraid to approach him, he doesn't hit women.

After dining at a Barefoot restaurant in LA, the chef asked Mr. T if he would sign an autograph for one of the waitresses who was nervous to come out and get it herself.

While attempting to sign the name "Charlotte" on a napkin (apparently it's a tough one), Mr. T tells the chef, "Tell her I never hit women!"

The jolly "A-Team" member then took time to sign autographs and pose for pictures for a few more fans before shaking our cameraman's hand and walking off.
