Guess Who This Freckled Kid Turned Into!

Published

This dapper kid would grow up to one day be on a show that if mentioned right this instance, it would really give away the answer. So, we'll keep you guessing. This hilarious actor bounced around states a lot growing up ... from being born in NYC and raised in Rhode Island to going to college in Massachusetts.

His first big break came in 2005 when he pitched a show that would ultimately become the hit series we said we wouldn't mention right away. He went on to star in both "Horrible Bosses" movies, and he also lent his voice to "Monsters University."

Can you guess who he is?

Mama June Let's Get Crackin', I'm Selling it All!!! Bizarre Vid From Garage Sale with Geno

Published | Updated
Mama June 8/15/2019
ERRATIC BEHAVIOR

Mama June is apparently strapped for cash ... because she and her boyfriend are selling off everything inside their home, and video from the garage sale shows the place in shambles.

June, who family members believe is struggling with drug addiction, is putting a wide array of items up for sale on Facebook Marketplace ... including the only bed left in the house. Well, a couple people saw her post and decided to swing by and see what Mama and Geno Doak had to offer.

This video starts with June and Geno rambling on and on about what sounds like a huge massage chair. It also shows parts of their home looking like an absolute pigsty ... while other parts are totally cleared out -- as if they've already unloaded most of their stuff.

We're told some potential buyers claim to have seen what looked like needles or syringes among the items strewn around one of the bedrooms. Remember, both Geno and June are awaiting trial for crack possession after their March arrests in Alabama.

We're guessing the garage sale's been going pretty well ... based on the stack of cash June was holding.

Maybe June will use some of the funds to fix her broken veneers ... then again, doesn't seem like her appearance is a top priority right now -- neither is Honey Boo Boo.

TMZ broke the story ... Honey Boo Boo moved out of the home to live with her sister, Pumpkin, and she's not moving back with Mama until Geno is out of the picture.

Mama isn't showing any signs of cutting ties with Geno -- and if HBB ever moves back home, she might not even recognize the place anymore.

Coachella Puppies Woman Gets 1 Year for Dumping ... And Check Out the Pups Now!!!

Published
UPDATE

4:44 PM PT -- The Riverside County Department of Animal Services has just released photos of the pups, looking happy and healthy and BIG!!!

UPDATE
UPDATE

They have also confirmed that all 6 puppies were adopted by loving families. Now THAT is a furry tail ending.

UPDATE

Justice is served!

Deborah Sue Culwell -- the woman who was caught on surveillance video tossing 7 pups into a dumpster in Coachella earlier this year -- has pled guilty and been sentenced to 1 year in jail.

The sentence, which also includes 6 years' probation after her time behind bars, was reduced to 174 days with credit for time served.

Culwell was originally charged with 7 felony counts of animal cruelty, plus 7 misdemeanor counts of abandoning the dogs – and she pled guilty to all 14 charges. She was initially facing up to 7 years behind bars, so it's surprisingly good luck for the Cruella de Vil wannabe.

In addition to the jail time, she must undergo random drug testing, and also complete mental health counseling. She also cannot possess any animals during the probation. Thank God.

At the time of the bust, the 54-year-old animal abuser reportedly had 38 other dogs in her custody.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT

As we reported, the woman was caught in April casually dropping a plastic bag filled with 3-day-old puppies into a dumpster, with temperatures hovering around the mid-90s.

A Good Samaritan dug the lil guys out of the trash. He alerted authorities and the animals were taken to Riverside County Animal Services.

6 of the 7 puppies survived, and the case triggered mass outrage across the country. The 6 pups all went into foster care and we're told several were adopted.

UPDATE

1:58 PM PT -- Dale Jr.'s sister, Kelley, just released a statement ... confirming Dale, his wife and daughter -- as well as 2 pilots -- were involved in the crash.

UPDATE

"Everyone is safe and has been taken to the hospital for further evaluation. We have no further information at this time. Thank you for your understanding."

NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt Jr. was a passenger on an airplane that caught fire after crashing in Tennessee ... and officials tell TMZ Sports he was transported to a nearby hospital.

The plane -- registered under Earnhardt's JR Motorsports -- crashed at Elizabethton Municipal Airport in Carter County just minutes ago. No word on what caused the crash.

Officials tell us Dale Jr. made it off of the plane alive ... but his current status is still unknown. We're told there were other passengers on the plane, but officials do not have a complete passenger list yet.

Reportedly, Earnhardt's wife, Amy, and 1-year-old daughter, Isla, were both on the plane as well. Officials would not confirm that with us, nor share their health status.

FYI -- the aircraft is a 10-seat, twin-engine Cessna Citation Latitude ... and the pictures show the plane was a fiery wreck at the end of the runway at the small airport.

We've reached out to Dale Jr.'s rep for comment ... and all they would say is “we are aware of the situation, and will put out a statement later.”

Leah Remini Blasted by Church of Scientology ... Your 'Hate Machine' Is Over!!!

Published | Updated

Leah Remini's show has come to an end -- and nobody's more ecstatic than the Church of Scientology -- who just went in on the actress.

Remini -- who used to be a member of the Church of Scientology -- just announced the show's 3rd season about the Church will be its last. A rep for the Church tells us Remini's show, 'Scientology and the Aftermath,' was purely a "hate machine" and they couldn't be happier to see the show wrap up.

The rep says, "Leah Remini has blood on her hands. Her show’s lies, distortions and exhortations to hate and bigotry generated assassination threats against the leader of the Scientology religion, physical attacks on Churches, and the murder of a Scientology religious worker whose throat was slashed by a madman egged on by Remini’s horrendous distortions."

Remini's cohost, Mike Rinder, released a statement shortly after the murder of the religious worker, saying, "They basically seek to shift the blame to our show for their abuses. Their statement that this is all caused by A&E and our show because someone apparently looked at a website that mentioned our show -- that's absurd."

'Scientology and the Aftermath' will end after 3 season on A&E ... and Leah promises to sign off with an explosive 2-hour special. Leah, who exited the church in 2013, made it her mission to expose the church with her docuseries.

Ashton Kutcher's Slain Friend Guilty Verdict in Killer's Trial

Published | Updated

The man who brutally killed Ashton Kutcher's friend has just been found guilty of 2 counts of first degree murder.

The jury in Michael Gargiulo's murder trial returned its verdict Thursday ... finding him guilty of killing two women with a knife in California, including Ashton's friend, Ashley Ellerin. Jury deliberations began Monday.

Gargiulo will move onto the sanity phase of the trial, which will determine if he was sane during the killings, and this will begin on Tuesday.

As we reported ... Ashton took the stand back in May, going in front of the jury on behalf of his slain friend and providing crucial testimony.

Ashton said Ashley was supposed to be his date to a Grammys after-party in 2001, but she never showed.

The actor testified that on the night of the Grammys, he went to Ashley's home around 10:45 PM and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. Ashton says he peered through a side window and saw what he believed was red wine spilled on the floor, so he bounced.

Ashley was found dead in her house the next morning, lying outside the bathroom with more than 47 stab wounds ... and authorities said Gargiulo was the killer.

The judge and jury went on an emotional field trip back in June, checking out the place where Ashley died a gruesome death.

Gargiulo -- who has been called the "Hollywood Ripper" -- is also facing murder charges in Illinois. Prosecutors have labeled him a "serial sexual-thrill killer."

Conor McGregor Punches Old Man in Head Over Whiskey Shots ... Caught On Video!!!

THE SUCKER PUNCH
UPDATE

12:36 PM PT -- UFC honcho Dana White joined Harvey and Charles on "TMZ Live" and addressed the video of McGregor punching an elderly man in the head.

UPDATE
Dana White
CUT IT OUT, CONOR
UPDATE

"You're talking about a pub in Ireland. Know how many guys get punched in the face every day in a pub in Ireland? Yeah, a lot."

UPDATE

"But, this is a high-profile guy," White says ... "The bottom line is when you're not a regular guy, you're a high-profile guy, and you're a professional fighter, you can't do it. That you can't do."

UPDATE

"When you're Conor McGregor, you can't do it."

UPDATE

7:01 AM PT -- Police in Ireland tell TMZ Sports they are still investigating the incident, adding, "no arrests have been made to date."

Conor McGregor uncorked a shot to the head of an elderly man in an Irish bar in a dispute over whiskey -- Conor's whiskey -- and TMZ Sports got this video showing the violence.

The absurd attack went down at The Marble Arch Pub in Dublin on April 6. Conor walked in and lined up cups for bar patrons ... looking to buy a round of his Proper Twelve for everyone. The problems started when the guy opted out. Conor placed a cup in front of him not once, but twice ... and he still refused.

Unclear if words were exchanged between them, but after Conor downed a shot with the other drinkers, he unexpectedly threw his notorious left fist right in the face of the old man who rejected the booze.

Two people immediately grabbed McGregor and pulled him out of the bar. The violence was reported to cops, who announced back in April they'd opened an investigation. It's unclear if that's still active, but there are no reports Conor was ever charged -- even though cops have reportedly seen this video.

Perhaps most odd of all ... the poor, old pub patron who got socked didn't even get knocked off his stool. People are just tougher in Ireland, apparently.

The video is just the latest evidence of McGregor losing his cool and acting like a thug outside the Octagon. He dodged felony charges in New York last year when he smashed a bus window with a dolly, injuring several UFC fighters onboard the vehicle.

CONOR SMASHING THE BUS

And, you'll recall ... one month before this Dublin incident, Conor smashed a phone out of a fan's hand in Miami. He was arrested for robbery and criminal mischief, but the charges were eventually dropped, and he settled a civil suit with the victim.

041019_conor_mcgregor_kal_v3
THE SURVEILLANCE FOOTAGE

We've reached out to McGregor's camp, but so far ... no word back. We also called The Marble Arch Pub and they had no comment.

Conor hasn't fought in the UFC since losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in Las Vegas. But, UFC honcho Dana White told reporters Wednesday he expects talks for McGregor's next fight to begin shortly after Khabib and Dustin Poirier square off in Abu Dhabi next month.

Just a thought, but Dana might wanna sign that old man from the Dublin pub. He can take a punch!!!

Michael Madsen Cops DUI Plea ... 4 Days in Jail

Published | Updated

Michael Madsen just cut a deal in his DUI case ... and he'll spend a few days in jail.

Michael pled no contest Thursday to one misdemeanor count of driving with a .10% blood alcohol content and was sentenced to 4 days in jail and 5 years probation. He's also been ordered to complete community service in the hospital morgue program.

TMZ broke the story ... the veteran actor was busted for DUI back in March, after cops say he crashed his Land Rover into a pole in Malibu. Police say Michael reeked of booze, and he was arrested after bombing a field sobriety test.

The "Reservoir Dogs" star was eventually hit with misdemeanor DUI charges ... and it even cost him a movie gig.

Michael's been down this road before ... he was also busted for DUI in Malibu way back in 2012, when his BAC was twice the legal limit. He entered a 30-day rehab after that bust, and the judge also ordered him to get outpatient treatment.

Adam Lambert Live Like an 'Idol' For $3.35 Million

Published | Updated

Adam Lambert's moving on up ... and he wants ya to do the same above the Sunset Strip if you've got a pretty penny.

The 2009 "American Idol" runner-up is selling his 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom crib in the Hollywood Hills for a cool $3.35 million. It's a contemporary beauty with the perfect amount of space to spoil your guests.

The crib features nearly 3,800 square feet of living space ... featuring a floor-to-ceiling climate-controlled wine wall, home theater and gym. The master suite includes a sitting room and steam shower. Pocketing glass doors lead straight to a sprawling backyard ... with 2 reflecting pools, a 10-person spa and a fire pit.

Not a bad way to spend the evening ... especially with sweeping city and canyon views.

Adam originally bought the pad in 2014 for $2.995M ... but he's since moved on. He already plunked down $6.5M for a home that features an impressive 14 rooms.

Tomer Fridman and Jonathan Siegfried of Compass have the listing.

Jeffrey Epstein Blood Vessels in Eyes Popped During Hanging

Published | Updated
UPDATE

7:34 AM PT -- Jeffrey Epstein's blood vessels in his eyes popped when his air supply was cut off by the bed sheet that was wrapped around his neck ... this according to law enforcement sources briefed on the case. We're told he suffered petechial hemorrhaging, caused when someone hangs himself or is strangled or smothered, but authorities are confident this was a hanging. 

UPDATE

We're told the bed sheets were tied to the top of a bunk bed and Epstein either hurled himself off the top bunk or had his feet to the ground and leaned forward to cut off his air supply. Authorities believe the former is true, because throwing himself off the top bunk and falling violently to the ground could explain why his hyoid bone was fractured.

Jeffrey Epstein reportedly had multiple fractures in his neck bones, something that is more common in death by strangulation than by hanging.

The breaks include a bone near the Adam's apple, according to the Washington Post. TMZ reported early on Epstein committed suicide by hanging himself ... this according to multiple sources. It appears the fractures are the reason the cause of death has been deferred pending further investigation.

Meanwhile, an American flag is flying at half-staff on Epstein's private island -- Little St. James Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Two prison guards have been suspended and the warden has been reassigned as a result of major lapses in protocol at the correctional facility. The guards were asleep and did not check on Epstein for several hours, during which he killed himself. The guards also tried to cover up the lapses.

'Little Women: LA' Christy Gibel Husband Says Marriage Wasn't a Sham ... And Yes, We Had Sex!!!

Published | Updated

"Little Women: LA" star Christy Gibel is telling a tall tale by claiming her marriage to Todd was sexless ... at least according to Todd, who says they definitely banged.

Todd's filed his response to Christy asking a court to annul their marriage ... pushing back against her claim the marriage was never consummated, and denying her allegations of financial fraud.

According to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Todd says Christy's claim that "we did not have sexual intercourse once" during the marriage is flat-out false and sells his sex game short.

It still sounds like they weren't doing the nasty on the regular, though. In the docs, Todd says he had trouble with his mobility during their time together, so he usually slept downstairs while she slept upstairs. He adds, the short climb up the stairs was just too damn painful for his body.

As for Christy accusing him of financial fraud ... Todd claims he didn't take out loans in her name without her consent. He says he took loans out against his 401k and used some of the money to buy Christy's daughter the "princess bedroom" of her dreams.

In California, a person can get an annulment if there's proof the marriage was fraudulently induced -- but Todd says he only married Christy because he loved her, and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

Jay-Z, Roger Goodell NFL Meeting Video Surfaces ... Kap's GF Furious

WE'RE PAST KNEELING
UPDATE

11:00 AM PT -- Kaepernick's girlfriend, Nessa, just went scorched earth on Jay-Z ... firing back at the rap mogul for working with the NFL -- calling it "disgusting and disappointing."

UPDATE

"We will never turn our backs on @kaepernick7 because your idols decided to work with the same organization that is actively keeping Colin unemployed all because he peacefully protested against social injustice in black and brown communities, specifically police brutality."

UPDATE

"So really, how can Jay-Z and the NFL utter social justice in their partnership while keeping Colin unemployed because of his social justice work?"

UPDATE

"It’s typical for the NFL to buy different PR looks to cover up their dirt-that’s nothing new. But what is disgusting and disappointing is Jay-Z let them use him. Whether Jay-Z knew it or not (I don’t doubt his intelligence-so I would think he knew) he helped the NFL bury who he said is an iconic figure, Colin Kaepernick"

UPDATE

"Don’t tell me there’s a “master plan and wait for it” because the ONLY reason anything would ever change is because THE PEOPLE are loud and clear and won’t let the league buy their loyalty with their disingenuous moves. The people are letting the league and anyone who works with them know that they aren’t buying the bs."

UPDATE

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Jay-Z defended his decision to partner with the NFL by saying he's past the kneeling protest and onto bigger things.

TMZ Sports obtained video of the entire meeting Wednesday between NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Jay-Z and members of the media.

Charlamagne tha God kicked off the meeting with the question on everyone's mind ... how do you partner with the league when Colin Kaepernick is still out of a job?

Jay's response -- the kneeling protest was never about Kaepernick's employment ... it was about police brutality. He went on to say he's past the kneeling protest, saying the options are clear -- "Reaching millions and millions of people or [protesting] Colin not having a job." He says by choosing to partner with the NFL on social justice issues, he's choosing the former.

What's more ... Jay said in response to the question, "Would you kneel or would you stand? ... "I think we're past kneeling."

Jay-Z says the task at hand is using the NFL's resources to change the culture of policing. He says there are 2 parts to protest -- first taking a stand, which Colin did, and then getting the company [the NFL] to say, "I hear you."

Nipsey Hussle Massive Barricade at Clothing Store On Rapper's 34th Bday

Published | Updated

Fans hoping to honor Nipsey Hussle on what would have been the rapper's 34th birthday will have to find a place other than his clothing store to pay their respects.

A massive fence, complete with shading and barbed wire surrounds Nipsey's Marathon Clothing in Los Angeles ... the same place the rapper was murdered back in March. The location was an obvious spot for a birthday memorial, but the barricade is a clear attempt to discourage people from gathering and leaving items at the store.

City officials have had issues with Marathon for a long time and even tried to shut it down, believing it was a hub for gang activity. Fact is ... the area has problems with gangs, but Nipsey was working hard to curb gang violence. The LAPD and L.A. City Attorney took a lot of heat for praising Nipsey after his death on the one hand yet naming him in an investigation over gang activity around the store. Cops later said he was not a target ... only the store was.

TMZ broke the story ... the LAPD was put on high alert for a possible birthday celebration Thursday, planning to have more than 100 officers near the Slauson and Crenshaw intersection where the store is located.

Nipsey's birthday won't go unrecognized by his family though, we've learned they plan to hold a private gathering. Our sources say Nip's family is still in a serious state of mourning.

Nipsey suffered fatal gunshot wounds to his head and torso on March 31. Eric Holder was arrested just days later and charged with murder.

Brody Jenner & Josie Canseco We've Got Nothing to Hide ... PDA, Partying into the Morning!!!

Published | Updated
Brody Jenner Josie Canseco
TAKIN' THINGS PUBLIC

Brody Jenner's rebounding like a champ -- and very publicly -- as he and model Josie Canseco get very handsy at nightclubs and house parties around town.

The new couple attempted to play it cool when they first stepped out Wednesday night ... arriving at Warwick in Hollywood. Brody stepped out of the front passenger seat of their ride, and Josie got out of the back seat. They even walked into the club separately, but within a couple feet of each other -- but, c'mon ... we all know the game.

The night was just getting started, though, and when they left Warwick -- at 2:45 AM -- they were way more affectionate. Josie hugged Brody as they made their way to a friend's home for a little after-hours house party. And, we mean serious "after-hours" ... they were spotted leaving the bash at around 4 AM.

If the 'Hills' star initially seemed salty about those pics of his ex, Katilynn Carter, making out with Miley Cyrus at Lake Como, he's clearly gotten over it now.

Funny how having a super hot Victoria's Secret model hanging all over you will do that for ya -- and the timing of their first public outing is interesting.

TMZ broke the story ... Miley and Kaitlynn arrived back in L.A. a few hours earlier on Wednesday. After stepping off a private jet, they drove off together ... Miley behind the wheel and Kaitlynn riding shotgun.

If there's gonna be a PDA battle of the exes ... Josie and Brody seem up to the task.
