Suck on THIS a-one time ... Pauly Shore tells TMZ he's in talks with Andy Dick about doing a sequel to their 1994 flick "In the Army Now."

Dick and Shore discussed the idea on Andy's Internet show yesterday ... with Dick saying, "I've always said we should do 'In the Army Again' ... We should rescue Katy Perry from a USO show gone bad or something."

Now, Shore tells us, "Andy has wanted to do it for awhile ... if they put up the money and the studio lets us do it  ... I'm down to make it happen!"

Shore tells us ... there is a treatment for the movie (a detailed summary of the story) that's being circulated in Hollywood ... but Pauly hasn't read it yet.

FYI -- the original flick grossed more than $28 mil at the box office ... Shore's 3rd highest grossing film.  But despite its cult following, the flick carries a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Yeah, buddy.

Wanna be Pauly Shore's assistant? Well, you're probably out of luck -- because one of the main job requirements is you have to love his movies ... AND be damn good at math.



Pauly recently went on the hunt for a new right hand man -- and required each candidate to fill out a VERY extensive questionnaire ... and TMZ has obtained a copy.

Shore -- star of such cinematic masterpieces as "Bio-Dome" -- asked prospective assistants, "Are you a fan of Pauly? If you are, be very specific - tell some of your favorite Pauly Shore movies/shows/moments?"

It also appears Pauly wants to exploit his assistants connections -- asking, "Who are the top three people that you know in the industry that you can get on the phone immediately?"

Among the other highlights ...

-- Do you have access to interns/PAs that would occasionally work under you for free?

-- Being that you would be Pauly's assistant, you would know every little personal thing about him ... so he would like to know everything about you. So please tell us information about yourself.

And our favorite question on the sheet ... "Do you have a background in mathematics?"

Eventually, we're told someone was actually hired for the job.

Side note -- Shore was also in "Encino Man" ... and that was kinda good ... right? Weezin' the juice? Anyone?

Pauly Shore went absolutely nuclear on the set of his new movie -- unleashing a screaming, f-bomb laced, Christian Bale-esque tantrum that could only be described as ... well, totally unbelievable.


TMZ obtained footage from MovieSet.com of the recent tirade, in which Pauly freaks out on the set of "Brand Dead" when he hears producers talking to each other during a scene he was shooting.

Pauly, who was playing a gay sports commentator at the time, screamed, "Shut the f**k up while we're working ... I'm playing this gay guy all day, wearing this f**king wig on my head ... have you ever been on a set before?"

There's way more yelling, way more cussing, way more freaking out.

But it all seems suspicious -- especially since that "real" footage of Pauly getting punched in the face at a comedy club a few years ago turned out to be an elaborate hoax to publicize a movie.

So, we gotta ask...

Cameron Diaz was blaring her horn on the pappers -- but she should have listened to 'em, they were warning her she's a scofflaw for talking on a cell phone.

Also in L.A.: Vanessa Williams worked on the new Hannah Montana flick, Miley talked about Jamie Lynn's baby, Mama Spears met back up with Brit, Paris was heckled about her horrific past in film and Pauly Shore said goodbye ... for now, but he just won't live.

In NY: Brooke Hogan gave us a look that could kill when we asked about her incarcerated bro, Ethan Hawke was gangbanged after walking past Madge's building and Greasy Bear was just gross.

Sharon Osbourne was shocked we did a poll asking people "who'd you rather?" between her and daughter Kelly. Even more shocking -- the 55-year-old mum won!

Also in L.A.: Little people Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman stepped out, Rick Springfield showed off his pit stains and fanny pack, paps teased David Spade, Pauly Shore made out with a guy and Mel B called us "nosy."

In NY: "Gossip Girl" rumored lovahs Chace Crawford and Ed Westwick walked around set and NY Giant Michael Strahan got cozy with Eddie Murphy's ex, Nicole Murphy.

We're all for Lindsay Lohan making new friends, but Lilly Allen probably isn't the best bud for the 3x rehab grad -- especially since Lily had to be carried drunk outta an awards show just last week.

Also in L.A.: Unlike Coolio, Pauly Shore actually got into One Sunset, Courteney Cox Arquette was taunted over her failed show, Reba McEntire's son played late chauffeur, and Hil Duff's BF was asked about a possible boob job.

In NY: Wesley Snipes savored another night of freedom, along with Don Cheadle, Cee-Lo and Jay-Z at Butter.

Pauly Shore seems very pleased that the courts struck down the ban on gay marriage in California -- El Weasello tells us that Memorial Day is a "homosexual" holiday.


Hey -- if we hadn't asked, he wouldn't have told.

Pauly Shore left one photog feeling violated last night.


For some reason, it was a more welcoming act when Heather Locklear did it.

Leave it to Pauly Shore to enjoy Mickey D's at Dan Tana's -- one of the most exclusive Italian restaurants in town. TMZ caught up with The Weasel last night -- and he told of his hopes for the New Year -- including his desire for "more white girls."


Coincidentally, our desire for 2008 is less Pauly Shore.

For Pauly Shore, saving his swimmers is on the same plane as going green and conserving water.


TMZ caught The Weasel outside of Katsuya in L.A. last night, where before giving out roses to two male cameramen, he went on about the importance of saving more semen ... and he wasn't talking sailors!

Shore was also excited to finally put water in his pool. That's the same pool he had to drain after neighbor Wes Craven (yes, he of "Nightmare on Elm Street" fame) claims it caused a landslide and ruined his backyard. Might be a little late in the year for a pool party.

Usually, when a curvy, topless, bikini-bottomed star is snapped on the beach, it's a good thing. Unfortunately, this time it was Pauly Shore! Apologies to all lunching viewers.

The 39-year-old anti-McConaughey hit the beach in Hawaii on Thursday, sporting a hot girlfriend -- and an unfortunate banana hammock.

Check out why Pauly should have left more than just his career in the "Bio-Dome."
