Take a stumble down memory lane ... not too bad for a four-year-old.

Chris Brown was thiiiiiiiis close to doin' something totally awesome ... and then his thoughts got in the way.
Brown went on the air with Hot 97.7 yesterday and admitted the legendary YouTube video of the wedding party who danced down the aisle to his song "Forever" brought him out of his darkest days -- but there's a reason he didn't get the happy couple a wedding present.
Brown claims he would have bought them a "whole like living room set or something" -- but didn't because he knew media "like TMZ" would find out and accuse him of concocting the whole plot for publicity.
Actually, it would have been a pretty cool move ... but don't worry Chris, wedding gift etiquette states you have a whole year to pick out the furniture ... and we'll give you props when you do....

E.I.E.I.Oh no! A TMZ employee is down with the swine, and we think there's a connection to a boy band and Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
Chad Weiser just called with the bad news. He's got the H1N1. And here's where the plot thickens. Chad works in the production of TMZ TV and handled the tapes we got of Brian Littrell and Dr. Sanjay Gupta, both swine flu survivors.
No one gets out of the office all day, so it's like a petri dish in here.
HELP!!!! And pass the Purell.
UPDATE: 11:06 AM ET. We've learned no one is expected to show up in court. The judge has the legal papers from Gibson's lawyer, Blair Berk, in his chambers and we're guessing he's going to sign them and expunge Mel's DUI today.
The Mel Gibson DUI/"The-Jews-are-responsible-for-all-the-wars-in-the-world" saga may come to an end in a little more than 2 hours. Mel's lawyer will ask a judge to expunge the conviction from his record.
Mel was arrested in July, 2006 on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. Initially authorities told TMZ the arrest occurred "without incident." But later that day, TMZ obtained 4 pages of the deputy's original notes that were taken out of the revised report -- 4 pages with a blow-by-blow of Mel's anti-Semitic rant.
Mel pled no contest to misdemeanor DUI and was placed on 3 years probation. Gibson has completed all the terms of his probation and it's not unusual at all for his lawyer to request that the conviction be expunged at the end of the probation period.
We'll be live streaming the action in Malibu at 8:30 AM PT, so stay tuned.
UPDATE: It's running late ... we'll be live as soon as it happens. Keep refreshing to check it out!

The Ace of Hearts dog rescue foundation was so pumped that we were able to find John Mayer's mug shot -- and score them a $12,500 donation in the process -- they named a few canines after Harvey Levin, John and TMZ!
Here's a little background info on the well-named canines:
-- Levin is a 3-year-old Shar Pei/Mastiff mix
-- Mayer is a 2-3 month-old Beagle/Hound mix puppy
-- TMZ is a 1-year old Boxer/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix
The adorable dogs were rescued last weekend from a high kill shelter in Northern California -- now all three need some good people to reach out and give them a home.
Here's the foundation's number in LA just in case ... (310) 358-3344.

Kanye West has learned how not to make friends and influence people -- at least the people who will decide if Kanye goes to jail.
West absorbed himself in a freestyle rap Wednesday night in NYC, going off on TMZ for the "confrontation" at LAX where he smashed our camera light to the ground and his bodyguard broke a still camera last year. Kanye has been charged with criminal battery, vandalism and grand theft.
During his show he sang: "Who doesn't think it's illegal, TMZ? And I have to pay $100,000 to the photographer that said I broke his arm, but I was just breaking your f**king camera, I wasn't tryin' do you no harm."
Not only was Kanye's rant a bad move given there are charges pending .... he's also wrong. If we got a check for $100,000, it blew off the doorstep ... we haven't gotten a penny yet, and all we want is for him to fix our light. We're told the still cameraman -- who doesn't work for us -- hasn't gotten a dime either.

Kanye West's lawyer went to court today and won a delay for West's arraignment for smashing a photog's gear.
The famous Blair Berk reps Kanye, who is charged with vandalism, battery and grand theft -- stemming from a tussle with two photogs at LAX last year. Kanye's manager, Don Crowley, is also charged with two counts of vandalism, two counts of battery and two counts of grand theft. He's repped by prominent defense attorney Shawn Chapman Holley, who wore a yellow pinstriped pant suit to court -- with a necklace.
Bond on both defendants was exonerated because they do not have criminal records and promised to appear for their arraignments.
The incident occurred on September 11, 2008. A TMZ cameraman captured the confrontation ... Kanye can clearly be seen smashing the photog's flash to the ground.
Kanye could get up to 2 1/2 years in jail if convicted on all counts. Crowley could get five years.
Berk and Holley could end up squaring off with TMZ, since our camera got wrecked during the attack. We're only slightly scared...
