Ex-New England Patriots' Star Parents Threaten To Sue For Outing Hooligan Kids
A former star player for the New England Patriots has been threatened with a lawsuit by delusional parents who claim he's ruined the lives of their kids by exposing a drug/alcohol fueled party at his home.
Brian Holloway tells TMZ, "I blew way past furious" when he discovered several hundred teenagers broke into his vacation home outside Albany, NY over Labor Day weekend.
The kids started tweeting and Instagramming madly inside, posting photos of what looked like a scene out of "Animal House."
Holloway went ballistic, created a website -- helpmesave300 -- and started posting pictures of the damage, as well as the tweets from some of the partygoers -- and those tweets ID'd the kids.
Holloway tells TMZ ... he's been told by the Sheriff's Dept. some of the parents are furious because their poor kids have now been exposed. Some bitch that it will hurt their chances of getting into college. Others whine their poor kiddies are being harassed at school. And they actually have the audacity to threaten a lawsuit.
Holloway says there was plenty of evidence of drugs at the party, including crack and meth. And, of course, a river of alcohol.
He says it's gonna cost $20 - $40k to repair the damage.
The parents should try and bottle their chutzpah and sell it. They could make enough to pay for the damage.

Kelly Osbourne Sues Landlord I'm NOT A Pig!
Kelly Osbourne is suing her former landlord, and it's not just for a lot of money. She's also defending her honor that she's not a filthy slob.
In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ ... Kelly says she rented a fancy apartment in West Hollywood, which has been home to many a celeb, including Lindsay Lohan, Adam Lambert and Brody Jenner.
Kelly plunked down $18,700 as a security deposit before moving in. When she moved out, she claims the landlord never bothered to stop by to check out the unit, but shortly thereafter Kelly got bad news -- the landlord sent her an email notifying her of an estimate of damages. According to the landlord, the damage and cleaning expenses ate up her entire deposit so Kelly was informed she'd be getting zilch.
Kelly is suing for her deposit back, and under California law if the landlord wrongly retained the deposit she gets up to twice the amount. She also apparently thinks the landlord is an a-hole, because she wants punitive damages to teach the landlord a lesson.

Stephon Marbury NYC Condo Teetering on Foreclosure
Stephon Marbury's about to lose his SECOND home due to foreclosure, at least if his bank gets its way ... because the former NBA star has allegedly failed to pay his mortgage yet again.
U.S. Bank International filed legal docs against Marbury, claiming he hasn't made mortgage payments on his 2-bedroom 2-bathroom NYC condo since March 2010, and currently owes $844,035 on the property ... which he purchased in 2006 for more than a million dollars.
U.S. Bank wants Marbury to pay the full amount NOW, or get the hell out ... so the condo can be sold at auction.
It's the second time a foreclosure action has been brought against Marbury since he left to play pro basketball in China -- just last year he lost his L.A. home at a foreclosure auction.
Fact is, he didn't really care then ... and he probably doesn't care now ... presuming he even knows about any of this. Calls to Stephon's lawyer weren't returned.

Courteney Cox & David Arquette Dumping $20 Million Mansion 5 Months After Divorce
Just months after their divorce became official, Courteney Cox and David Arquette are back on the same team ... in an effort to sell their Bev Hills mansion for $20 MILLION!!!!
The couple bought the home together in 2004 -- and lived in the insane 5,500 square foot estate until they split a couple of years ago. Courteney moved out immediately, but Dave still uses the home.
The home had been pocket listed for a while -- but the couple didn't get the number they were hoping for -- so yesterday, they put the home on MLS for all potential buyers to see.
The home is incredible -- located in the super exclusive Trousdale Estates area of BH and has awesome panoramic views. It was also designed by famed architect A. Quincy Jones.
The stats: 5 BR, 6 BA, bi-level living room, floor-to-ceiling windows throughout and a sweet circular swimming pool.
We're told this is the last piece of property Court and Dave own together -- and once they dump it, their real estate relationship is officially kaput.
But that doesn't mean he's out of her life forever -- the couple has a daughter together, Coco, and they've both said publicly that they are determined to stay friends.

Wayne Newton Famous Vegas Compound for Sale $70 MILLION!!
Wanna live like Wayne Newton?
First, get about 45 face lifts (allegedly) … then, PLACE AN OFFER ON HIS FAMOUS LAS VEGAS ESTATE … but only if you’ve got around $70 million laying around.
The 36-acre ranch – which Newton famously dubbed Casa de Shenandoah – has hit the market … just months after Wayne and his wife moved out following years of legal battles over money (or lack thereof).
CdS has it all -- plush white carpets, gold trimmed doors, a "car museum," 37 empty stables, lots of rundown buildings, an old ass tennis court, a dilapidated gazebo and a jumbo jet and terminal.
Of course, the property was the scene of Wayne’s infamous date with Ellen Griswold in “Vegas Vacation” … remember, she was a Wayne-iac?!
Anyway, the developer who bought the property in 2010 originally planned to turn the ranch into a Wayne Newton museum. Those plans have been scrapped. Now, he just wants to unload quick … for quick $70 mil.
Fun Fact -- the owner did dump millions into upgrading the property ... including an “upgrade” of removing 7,000 cubic yards of horse manure from the grounds.
George Zimmerman Fight Turf War Over Rented Home
George Zimmerman allegedly punched his estranged wife's father during a childish dispute over who had the right to be in the house -- the renter or the owner, aka George or his daddy-in-law ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Zimmerman tell us, George and his estranged wife Shellie Zimmerman have been renting a home from her parents, but ever since she filed for divorce they've been avoiding each other like the plague -- scheduling house visits ahead of time to keep the peace.
Must've been a snafu in scheduling -- because we're told George showed up Monday AM to remove some things, and ran into Shellie and her dad.
We're told the argument erupted when Pops declared it was his house, and George replied that he was paying rent ... and had every right to be there. The spat ended when Zimmerman allegedly punched Shellie's dad in the face.
Complicating matters was the fact George brought his new girlfriend with him. We're told she was waiting in his car while he went inside, and didn't get out until police arrived.
At the end of Shellie's 911 call you can hear her say, "There's a woman in there. Oh my god."
As for the identity of George's gf -- we're told she appears to be someone new ... NOT George's ex-fiancée, despite what reports are saying.

Chief Bracknell says of Zimmerman, "The guy just can't stay out of the news" -- referring to the Trayvon Martin killing, speeding tickets and now this. Bracknell says, "You'd think he'd get the heck out of Dodge."
We're told Shellie recanted her story after talking to her lawyer. The Chief said because of her flip-flopping, "There was not enough to affect an arrest, unfortunately."
Bracknell seems concerned that Zimmerman is bent on causing trouble, saying, "It's smoke, smoke smoke. Is there a fire somewhere? Lord knows."
We asked him if he'd feel safe if Zimmerman was his next door neighbor. The Chief was clear ... "I would not want to be the neighbor of George Zimmerman."

Dr. Phil $65,000 Fountain of Youth A Giant Pressurized Egg
Suck it, Lady Gaga -- TMZ has learned, 63-year-old Dr. Phil has his OWN giant mysterious egg-shaped pod thing ... except Phil's isn't some publicity stunt ... it's a $65,000 piece of technology that could help reverse the aging process.
It's called a CVAC, which stands for Cyclic Variations in Adaptive Conditioning, and there are only 16 in the world, used by all kinds of rich people and famous athletes.
According to CVAC, the chamber uses a computer-controlled valve and a vacuum pump to simulate high altitude and compress the muscles at rhythmic intervals, which purportedly improves circulation, boosts oxygen-rich blood cells, and even stimulates biogenesis and stem cell production. Translation: it could be the fountain of youth.
And we've learned Dr. Phil has one IN HIS HOUSE. We're told Phil purchased the contraption because he's very active and it helps with his shoulder and knee problems.
Not bad for $65,000 -- and with a reported net worth of $240 million, Dr. Phil can afford it.

John Cusack Arrested Fan Told Me Angels Want Us Together
John Cusack has been haunted for years by emails, letters, tweets, and voice mails from a woman who claims angels told her she and Cusack are supposed to be together -- the very same woman who was arrested at his home yesterday.
As TMZ first reported ... Cusack requested, and was granted, a temporary restraining order against Elizabeth Pahlke, on August 30 ... which requires her to stay 100 yards away from the actor and his security guard.
In his filing, Cusack says Pahlke has been blasting him with every form of communication under the sun for the past 3 years -- but the last straw came Aug. 29 when she left a letter at his house, and then waited for him outside.
Cusack says when Pahlke followed him as he left the house ... he called cops, and she was arrested and placed on a 5150 hold.
In the docs, Cusack says Pahlke "claims that the angels told her that we were together in a previous life, and that she needs to be with me now in order for me to remember how special she was to me."
Law enforcement sources tell us Pahlke was informed of the TRO yesterday -- and shortly afterward went straight to Cusack's house.
As we previously reported ... she was arrested for felony stalking and burglary. The L.A. County Sheriff's Department was at the house today ... dusting for fingerprints.
Cusack's TRO is in effect at least until Sep. 23 when a hearing is scheduled to determine if it will be extended.

According to law enforcement sources ... the woman tried to get in through a window at Cusack's Malibu estate, but failed. We're told a short time later Cusack's security caught her scaling a fence on the grounds ... and detained her until L.A. County Sheriff's Deputies arrived.
Deputies arrested 45-year-old Elizabeth Pahlke, and booked her for felony stalking and burglary.
Now here's the twist ... we're told Pahlke has a history with Cusack ... and in fact, his security team had served her with a restraining order earlier on Tuesday. It's unclear at this point what prompted the restraining order.
Our sources say Pahlke made a beeline for Cusack's home some time after receiving the document.
She is currently being held on $150,000 bail.
We're told Cusack was not home when the madness all went down.
Also, Pahlke was not holding a boombox over her head when she got busted.
That would've been way creepier.
