His big claim to fame is jumping out of a trunk naked -- and his parents couldn't be more proud!

We got a clothed Ken Jeong waiting to pick up his parental units Saturday at LAX -- very cool by the way -- where he said his mom and pops had actually seen "The Hangover" in all its glory ... and were watching it again on the flight.
FYI -- According to Ken, the plane version ... not as genital heavy.

Mike Tyson's explosive run-in with a paparazzo at LAX last week is now in the hands of L.A. prosecutors ... sources tell TMZ.
We've learned the LAPD sent the case to the Los Angeles City Attorney this morning. We're told the City Attorney has conducted a preliminary investigation but has not decided whether to charge Tyson and/or the papper, Tony Echevarria, with criminal battery.
We're told the City Attorney wants to see the video the photog shot when the fight broke out.
Both Tyson and Echevarria were arrested. Tyson says the photog made contact with the stroller carrying his baby and he struck the dude in self defense.

Even Samuel L. Jackson isn't badass enough to handle this nightmare. Some English pet shop owner was busted in an airport in Brazil for trying to smuggle 1,000 LIVE SPIDERS onto an airplane.

He almost made it too -- dude was arrested on Wednesday right before he boarded his flight back to Europe at Rio de Janeiro's international airport ... when an x-ray of his suitcases revealed he was traveling with an army of illegal 8-legged cargo ... including tarantulas.
He hoped to sell the creepy crawlies once he got home -- but now faces up to a year in jail if convicted of animal trafficking, plus millions in fines.

The photographer who ended up on the wrong end of Mike Tyson's fist says Mike got in 4 good punches and blood was gushing "like a water fountain."


Pap Tony Echevarria claims:
- He wasn't disrespectful or aggressive
- Mike was initially in a good mood but turned sour when the pap asked about his wife
- Tyson became more agitated when he couldn't find a bathroom and saw the photog shooting him
As we previously reported, Tyson and the photographer were both busted for battery.

UPDATE: TMZ spoke with a TSA rep who was on scene, who tells us, "There were ice chips in the cup, and that is permitted."
Britney Spears did what no one else we know has ever done at LAX -- she took a Big Gulp-esque drink through security and drank with aplomb as she walked to her plane.

We contacted a security specialist from the TSA who told us screeners have "discretion" when it comes to letting liquids through security.
But we've never met anyone who's ever been able to get anything close to a Big Gulp size of liquid through security.
So...

David Hasselhoff is indestructible.

Despite reports The Hoff was hospitalized during his stay in London after a week-long bender that ended with him allegedly punching out a doctor, he was seen at Heathrow Airport this morning looking as fresh as the day he was born.
When we got him arriving later at LAX, we tried to ask all about his trip, but all we got was that devilish grin and a sly, "It's allllllll good."
How does he do it?

With all the coyote/football/general drama in her life, there's still one thing that can make Jessica Simpson crack a smile -- her hair.

Jessica's friends are reportedly worried she's at her "lowest point" after her innocent maltipoo was snatched by a vicious coyote -- but yesterday at LAX, Jess and her BFF/stylist Ken Paves were ready and willing to laugh about her locks.
As for that evil coyote -- that bastard is still out there ... lurking ... waiting ...

Gisele Bundchen was spotted today at Marshfield Airport in Massachusetts checking out a helicopter before her lesson.

The guy with her, on the other hand, looks like he's checking out something else.

If you snooze you lose -- except in Coolio's case, when passing out in front of the slot machines in Las Vegas simply means you break even.

Coolio was caught open-mouthed and counting sheep at McCarran International Airport last week -- where yes, people, they have slot machines waiting for you in the terminals.
Hey, at least he wasn't busted for crack this time.

We finally got to ask Stephon Marbury why the hell he's been livestreaming his life for the past week -- and his rationale is as logical as you'd expect from a person who's been eating Vaseline, getting into car accidents, bawling his eyes out and impromptu dancing for all the world to see.

P.S. -- The completely sane reason he was at LAX yesterday -- to pick up a random 30-something man he bonded with over the Internet.

Justin Timberlake arrived at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris this weekend, escorted by a machine gun-carrying bodyguard.

Those screaming teen girl fans can be really menacing.

After seeing the size of Hugh Jackman's arms in this video, it's pretty clear that the guy could definitely rip someone apart with his bare hands. Thankfully, Jackman is always the nicest guy -- even after a photographer accidentally bumps into his son.

She probably didn't need it, but Jane Fonda slipped past the long lines at LAX this weekend by sliding into a comfy wheel chair.

That's just how she rolls.
