Larry Johnson is roughly 80 yards away from becoming the all time leading rusher for the Kansas City Chiefs -- but after his anti-gay slur scandal last week, Chiefs fans want him off the team before he has a chance to make history.
Hundreds of loyal Chiefs fans have signed a petition, begging the team owner to keep Larry Johnson's name out of the Chiefs Hall of Fame forever.
The petition reads:
"Larry has been a black eye on the organization ... We are asking you, as fans of this team, this organization, and of the pride that this city has in the Chiefs, please deactivate Larry Johnson.
Please do not let his name sit atop the all-time rushing leaders in Kansas City Chiefs history."
We spoke to one of the fans behind the petition, Andy Phelan, who tells us: "I would love it if we never see Larry Johnson in a Chiefs uniform again ... He's a cancer in the locker room."

This is rich. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are getting married tomorrow, and they are deeply concerned about safety -- so they are trying to keep the paparazzi at bay. Of course, we're not buyin' what they're sellin'.
We got our hands on a flyer sent around the Pasadena neighborhood where they will be tying the knot. The flyer asks residents to sign a petition, allowing the Heidi and Spencer crew to shut down some of the streets and sidewalks for "an untitled reality TV project" -- otherwise called the wedding. BTW -- the person who is listed as the line producer produces "The Hills." Why so misleading, Speidi?
Now here's the best part: They want No Parking signs on a strategic street "to discourage paparazzi from parking and hiding out in their cars" -- they say for safety reasons. Excuse us, but isn't this the couple that courts hordes of paparazzi to follow them on every street in Hollywood? Could it be they want to restrict paparazzi because it's more lucrative for them if the pappers don't get the shot? We are such cynics.
And the final sweet touch -- in making the request to the neighbors, they say they will be filming "interior and exterior dialogue" at the church. For normal people, those are called wedding vows.
UPDATE: We're told the neighbors surrounding the nuptials have signed off for all the necessary permits. Wedding on!

TMZ just received the official statement from Joshua D.S. Morales, creator and organizer of the Free Paris Hilton petition.
Morales babbled, "I would like to take this opportunity to officially welcome Paris Hilton back to society and tell her that all her fans and supporters are relieved and ecstatic that she is out. She has served her time for her mistake. This is a wonderful day in our country's great history and I am happy to be a part of it. The petition that I created, although seemingly unsuccessful, collected over 30,000 signatures and shows that Ms. Hilton has the love and support of fans worldwide. Welcome back, Paris. We missed you!"
It doesn't appear as though Josh has heard all the news. Paris is confined to her home. Not quite as free as she'd probably like to be

With all the press surrounding the "Free Paris" petition, it was only a matter of time before someone started a counter petition ... and the guys from a band called The Exies have done just that.
The online campaign urges the Governator to "do everything in his power to ensure that Paris Hilton serve her full 45 day sentence." Whether or not the band is taking action just to get their name out, or if they have a sincere interest in misdemeanor justice, one thing is for sure: they're getting support. The petition, titled "Jail Paris Hilton" has received 61,663 signatures so far.
Poor Paris, it looks like she might actually be treated like a mere civilian.

Over 6,600 Beyoncé enthusiasts have come together to sign a petition "for the advocacy of having Ms. Beyoncé Knowles, Columbia Records, Music World Entertainment, and all other entities associated with the creative process of creating the long-form music video known as 'Deja Vu' reshoot aforementioned video immediately."
If you think Miss Knowles has a problem when a couple thousand of her "Crazy in Love" loyalists sign a statement like "this video is an underwhelming representation of the talent and quality of previous music video projects of Ms. Knowles" then you don't know her father, co-founder of imanipulatemybeautifuldaughterformyownsuccess.com (along side of Joe Simpson), Matthew Knowles.
