Samuel Jackson isn't the guy you want to piss off -- especially after a long flight. Sam not only took verbal swipes at our photog, but Abe Lincoln as well!

So would he stay in the Lincoln bedroom for the White House Correspondents Dinner? Sam wants a room with a Black last name. Guess who?

Samuel L. Jackson has had it with these mother f**kin' stars beating on these mother f**kin' paps!

Samuel L told our NY pap -- the same pap who got beat on by Woody Harrelson -- that once Woody took a swing, our guy had the right to smack back!!
Our guy held his own to Jackson's hilarious jabs -- but once Sam started mocking our photog's "girly" limp, it was all over.
Coolest MFer on the planet.

Samuel L. Jackson can't imagine an African American who didn't vote for Barack Obama. Apparently, S.L.J. wasn't thinking of the dude down the street ... Clarence Thomas.

Samuel L. Jackson has had it with the motherf**kin' flakes outside his motherf**kin' plane!
Yesterday at LAX, Sam called out an autographazzo who said he traveled all the way from Chicago just to get his John Hancock. Your nose is growing, Pinocchio!

There are waaaay too many Mercedes in L.A. -- they're almost as common as botched plastic surgeries.
Perfect example: Certified badass Samuel L. Jackson couldn't get into a silver, four-door Mercedes yesterday -- because his car was the silver two-door Mercedes parked right next to it.

Owen Wilson got a special hospital visit today from the one and only Samuel L. Jackson -- who knew they were buddies?
TMZ was outside of Cedars Sinai this afternoon as Samuel walked in to visit Wilson, and he was clearly taken aback by paparazzi presence.
Owen's brothers Luke and Andrew also checked in on the "Wedding Crashers" star, who was hospitalized yesterday afternoon for an undisclosed reason.

For a guy who says he hates cameras, Tyrese sure seems to find the spotlight a lot.
TMZ cameras were at the Video Game Awards in Hollywood this weekend when we ran into Tyrese, who showed us a lotta love. Last time we were face to face with this hotshot, he shouted at our cameras, "Stop f***in' filming me, man." This time he made sure to get in our good graces.
Also at the event were stunning Rachael Leigh Cook, funny guy Seth Green, and The Man of Steel -- Brandon Routh.
Jessica Biel and Wilmer Valderrama showed up looking as sleek as ever for the Breakthrough Awards. Joining them were "Dreamgirls" star Jennifer Hudson, Justin Long (you know, the Mac commercial guy), and Jared Leto.
Wrapping this edition of Star Catcher: 50 Cent and Samuel L. Jackson gave photogs just enough time to snap some quick shots.
For this and more on your favorite celebs, check out today's Star Catcher.

Is Justin Guarini related to any celebrities? --Amy
Amy, get ready for a schooling in Justin Guarini! Justin's father, Eldrin Bell, has a first cousin named LaTanya Richardson, an actress who is married to Samuel L. Jackson. Guarini's mother, Kathy, was a CNN anchor and journalist with whom President Jimmy Carter was once acquainted. Carter called to congratulate Kathy on the birth of Justin -- direct from Air Force One! Guarini's godparents are Prince Faisel and his former wife, Princess Azia of Saudi Arabia. And just for the heck of it -- Justin was in the same choir as P!nk at Lenape Middle School in Bucks County, PA.

Today's Z-lister may well be tomorrow's gold standard. Just ask Mel Gibson and Kate Moss, who were honored this week, respectively, by the Latin Business Association and British Fashion Awards.
Prince: What's next? The Mirage poaching another famous Jehovah's Witness to resurrect its one-time marquee attraction as "Siegfried and Michael"? At the very least, Prince may need to adopt "???" as his new symbol. The idea that the diminutive 48-year-old pop star will, starting next weekend, be headlining as a Friday-Saturday Vegas regular at the all-suites Rio Hotel and Casino is about as logical as Marilyn Manson happily taking part in an episode of Trading Spaces. And if you're planning on shouting out a request for "Dirty Mind" classics like "Sister" (about incest) or "Head" (about... you know), save your money for the "When Doves Cry" slots.

Does Kenny Chesney have hair? He's always got a hat on.
It's true, Janet -- it seems as if Kenny Chesney may have been born with a hat on his head, as he's always wearing one. But we copped a picture of him sans accessory here in Las Vegas last year where it was undoubtedly too hot to be covering up. And to his look, we say rock on, Kenny, rock on!
And speaking of things people (usually) never go without, check out Kenny's ex
Renee Zellweger and her recent lack of luck in the
garment department.Click here... it's not over yet

Today is the day, finally, that Samuel L. Jackson's already cult classic "Snakes on a Plane" opens in theaters. Jackson showed he had no shame -- or sympathy for the snakes -- as arrived to the film's Hollywood premiere last night covered from head to toe with snakes.
The actor showed off his shoes, T-shirt and pendant inspired by the film's poster and admitted he had more "Snakes" memorabilia back at home. "I actually have Kangols that have snakes on them, I made those for the cast and crew for a wrap gift, so there is lots of stuff." To drill the fact home that the movie is full of the slithery serpents, in case you hadn't noticed via the title or the six months of relentless hype, Jackson also posed for photos with a 13-foot Burmese python.
Jackson isn't the only one basking in the "Snakes" glow, though, as co-star Julianna Marguiles says she's glad to be noticed for something other than "Dr. Hathaway" on ER. "It is the first time in my career that I have walked through the airport coming here and literally was stopped five times ... Usually it is always 'E.R.' stuff, so now it is all 'Snakes on a Plane' stuff, which I am grateful for."

These days it may be a bit harder to sneak a crate full of snakes onto a plane, but Samuel L. Jackson isn't worried about how heightened security measures will affect his new movie.
"It's unfortunate flying has become such a pain in the butt with the things you can carry with you ... we have to look at our fellow passengers and be like am I going to have to get on your ass or what ... it's just bad but i don't think it has anything to do with this particular film."
Jackson also promises the movie in question, "Snakes on a Plane," is not going to skimp out on any violence or mile-high club antics despite tighter restrictions in real-life flight.
"PG was not the way it's supposed to be, it's a horror film...there's some nudity now, in a horror movie like this people get killed in those situations...this has nothing to do with reality whatsoever."
"Snakes on a Plane" opens Friday.

"Snakes on a Plane" is shaping up to be the most buzzed about movie of the summer and Samuel L. Jackson couldn't be happier. Already achieving cult status with the classic "Pulp Fiction," Jackson is ready to be recognized for something different."
"If people can stop yelling do I know what a quarter-pounder with cheese in France is called and start yelling get these motherf***ing snakes off the motherf***ing plane, I'll be fine, I'll be great."
The premise of the film is simple. Jackson's character is an FBI agent transporting a convict when the plane he's on gets attacked by poisonous snakes. Though the film doesn't open until August 18th, Jackson is already contemplating a sequel.
"There aren't that many vehicles that you can put people on that you can't get off of. Maybe they could do 'Rats on a Plane.' And the tagline for this one is: 'Where's a Snake When You Need One?'"
