2013 MTV Video Music Awards HITS, RUNS AND ERRORS

Published | Updated

MTV rounded up the troops to host an awards show to pay homage to something called a "music video" ... something that hasn't been seen on MTV in a very, very long time.

Still, the stars need an excuse to get together and rock out in wild outfits ... and TMZ has the photos of the craziness as it goes down outside the show!

Dodgers' Brian Wilson Everyone Chill ... My Beard is Here to Stay!!

Published | Updated

And now, a statement from Brian Wilson's million-dollar beard: "I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY'S ON THE TABLE ... NOBODY'S CUTTING ME!"

Thank you, Beard.

Despite a flurry of reports the Dodgers pitcher was in negotiations to shave his famous facial hair for a six-figure payday ... Wilson's reps tell TMZ, the Beard was never in jeopardy.

The crew over at MVP Sports Group tells us they never took the razor company's offer seriously because Brian refuses to even trim his trademark, and, in fact ... he's told them the beard is "going with him to the grave."

So, keep calm Blue Crew -- the Beard abides.

Bar Refaeli to Roger Waters Take My Pretty Face Out of Your Israel-Hating Concerts

Published | Updated

Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli is NOT a fan of Pink Floyd, demanding its lead singer Roger Waters remove her photo from his concerts after he called for a boycott against the Holy Land.

FYI, Waters is a vocal supporter of a campaign called Boycott Divestment and Sanctions against Israel (BDS) and even floats a pig-shaped balloon with the Star of David at his shows.

Ironically, Waters' performances also include background video that uses a glamor shot of Bar Refaeli -- and the Israeli smokeshow doesn't like it one bit.

Bar tweeted Wednesday in Hebrew, "Roger Waters, you should remove my picture from videos at your concerts. If you’re going to boycott, then go all the way."

Funny timing, considering Israel and Palestine recently re-engaged in peace talks for the first time in five years.

Kylie Jenner Sweet 16 $150,000 IN GIFT BAGS Headphones, Makeup, Jewelry

Published | Updated

The best part of Kylie Jenner's Sweet 16 party this weekend? LEAVING ... because on their way out, 150+ guests received insane parting gifts -- in the form of luxury goodie bags valued at over $1000 each -- and TMZ has pics of the loot.

Kylie rung in the big 1-6 this Saturday at the AT&T Building in L.A. with her family and other celebs -- like Drake and Big Sean -- and seeing as she's hitting her peak in life, Kylie naturally pulled out all the stops.

But the parting gifts were the coolest part -- the youngest Kardashian family member handed out swag bags filled with 808 headphones, iPod speakers, Kardashian brand makeup, jewelry from her own jewelry line, gift cards, and a bunch of other crap.

Each bag is valued at more than $1000 a pop -- and with over 150 guests at the shindig, that's a big investment in trinkets.

But it probably didn't come out of Kylie's pocket -- fact is, the Kardashian/Jenner name is such a big deal, vendors undoubtedly donated their stuff for free hoping to get their brands in the press. And congrats, it worked.

Still doesn't beat hosting your Sweet 16 in your uncle's friend's Greek restaurant basement. Opa!

2 Chainz vs. Lil Wayne WHO'D YOU RATHER?

Paulina Gretzky Walk Down Mammary Lane Before She Got Engaged

Published | Updated

Paulina Gretzky's engagement is great news ... for one man -- that golfer dude who snagged the Great One. Sorry, we mean ... the Great One's daughter.

The rest of us are stuck with the Internet ... which, luckily, is laced with absurdly hot Paulina pics.

Gwen Stefani B-A-N-A-N-ASS

Published | Updated

Normally, we wouldn't feel so guilty checking out Gwen Stefani's incredible ass during a bikini-clad boat outing in France ... but her kid was there.

So, we put a black bar over his face.

And now we feel less guilty.

Enjoy!

Mel Gibson Check Out My Lethal Weapons

Published | Updated

Mel Gibson is only hitting one thing these days ... the gym ... just check out the diesel arms he unveiled in L.A. on Friday.

Makes sense. 57-year-old Gibson is set to play the villain in next year's action flick "Expendables 3" alongside equally yoked middle-aged actors Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Statham, and Dolph Lundgren ... so bulking up is kind of expected.

But we're still blown away, and not just by Gibson's guns. We don't think we've ever seen the guy in a tank top before.

Myla Sinanaj I'm Getting Plastic Surgery ... To Look Like Kim K

Published | Updated

Myla Sinanaj's obsession with Kim Kardashian is getting painful -- she's about to undergo a boatload of plastic surgeries ... designed to make her look JUST LIKE KIM.

Myla tells TMZ she's sick and tired of being called the fat version of Kim K -- and going under the knife will fix it. She explains, "I’m obsessed with her body and want mine to be exactly the same."

In order to do that, slicer-and-dicer Dr. Matthew Schulman will perform $30,000 worth of procedures next month, modeled after Kim's assets -- lipo, lip injections and a boob job.

Myla's confident anyone who slammed her body in Vivid's "Myla Sinanaj: The Anti-Kim XXX" will eat their words afterwards... adding "I know it will launch my career."

FYI -- No surgeries have been booked for her face.

And now this:
