Suge Knight Shooting Injuries Lead to Medical Emergency Robbery Case Delayed Again
Suge Knight's body keeps rejecting court dates -- he was just rushed from a courthouse to a hospital ... and we've learned the problem is a stomach issue related to last summer's nightclub shooting.
Suge never made it into the courtroom for his robbery case. The judge announced that he'd been transferred from jail to the courthouse, but suddenly fell ill ... and had to be taken by ambulance to a hospital.
Suge's attorney David Kenner tells TMZ ... the rap mogul's been dealing with bleeding in the stomach. Kenner says he met with Suge Wednesday, and he was complaining about the stomach pain. He says there have been multiple ongoing heath issues all related to Suge getting shot six times at 1Oak Nightclub in August.
The medical emergency led to the 2nd delay in proceedings for the robbery case he and Katt Williams are facing. They're accused of taking a camera from a paparazzo in Beverly Hills.
The judge said Katt will be in court later Thursday to face the robbery charges.

Warren Sapp Paid $600 for Oral Sex, Recorded It ... Cops Say
Warren Sapp told police he paid $600 for oral sex from 2 prostitutes ... and recorded one of the sex acts on his cell phone ... this according to the police report.
TMZ Sports broke the story ... Sapp was arrested on Feb 2 in Phoenix for soliciting prostitution following an alleged incident at a hotel.
According to the police report, Sapp claims the whole situation came to be ... after he met two women in the hotel bar who claimed to be strippers.
Sapp reportedly offered the women -- a 23-year-old and a 34-year-old -- $300 each in exchange for a sex act.
According to the report, the women went to the room and began dancing for Sapp -- who threw $100 bills at them.
At one point, Sapp says he received oral sex from the 23-year-old ... who was wearing a Seahawks jersey ... and recorded it on his cell phone.
For some reason, cops say he SHOWED them the video.
There's more ... cops claim Sapp told investigators that the 23-year-old began asking for more cash for sex -- and that's when things started to unravel.
Sapp told cops he refused to pay more cash for sex -- and says the woman became "irate" and spit in his face.
"At one point, she used Warren's phone to call security to his room," the report says.
The woman told cops she grabbed her stuff and was going to leave when Sapp grabbed her by the arms and threw her into the hallway ... knocking her and the other woman down to the ground.
The 23-year-old told cops, "I do what I do, but that doesn't give him the right to put his hands on me."
Sapp is due in court on Monday -- if convicted on the prostitution charge, he faces a minimum of 15 days in jail ... and could do up to 6 months.

Aunt Jemima 'Heirs' Cutoff From Pancake Billions You Need Batter Proof
Two guys claiming to be heirs to the real life Aunt Jemima couldn't pour it on thick enough to convince a judge -- their shot at $3 billion just got tossed out of court.
According to docs obtained by TMZ ... D.W. Hunter and Larnell Evans, Jr. went to court armed with a pretty thin story to prove they're the great-grandsons of Anna Short Harrington -- who portrayed Aunt J. from 1935 until the '50s.
As TMZ first reported ... the men sued PepsiCo, Quaker Oats, and 2 other companies for royalties they feel Harrington had been screwed out of while her image was being used to hawk flapjacks.
Once they got to court ... Hunter told the judge his grandmother once gave him a photo of Harrington -- a photo he no longer has -- and claimed that proved his relation. Hunter and Evans also said they tried to locate Harrington's grave in Syracuse, NY.
Not shockingly, the judge said that so-called evidence fell flatter than a ... well, you know.
Case dismissed.

TMZ has obtained a search warrant to determine if Michelle Ghent is behind a barrage of Instagram threats, including, "I'm watching you! I'm coming for ... LOL. You two won't live to see your children." The "you two" appears to refer to Terrence and his new wife.

Afroman UNLOADS Devastating Punch on Female Fan Arrested on Scene
Cops hauled Afroman off stage, and he knows why -- because he punched a female fan in the face ... instead of getting high -- and the video of the incident is brutal.
The rapper was performing in Biloxi, Mississippi Tuesday night when the woman somehow got on stage and started dancing next to Afroman -- and then suddenly, without warning ... he turned and landed a right-handed haymaker to her face.
He obliterated the woman ... who went down hard -- but Afroman kept on performing. Witnesses say she was bleeding and crying, but somehow she managed to get up on her own.
Cops eventually stopped the show, escorted him off stage, and arrested him outside the venue. He was booked for assault.
Afroman's rep says the rapper had no idea if the fan was a man or a woman -- he just reacted to someone being on stage. The rep claims there was a lack of security at the venue to keep fans off the stage.
The rep added this is totally out of character for Afroman ... who was released late Tuesday after paying a $330 bond.

Bruce Jenner Video Captures Entire Crash Bruce Plowed into Both Cars
A MTA bus caught the entire Bruce Jenner car crash on video and sources tell TMZ it squarely shows Bruce struck both cars, and the Lexus driver NEVER made contact with the Prius.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... they are in possession of the video. Sources familiar with the bus in question -- which was directly behind the Hummer -- tell TMZ there are cameras mounted on the front, back and sides, and the videos show the entire accident.
Law enforcement will not tell us what's on the video, but sources familiar with the video in question tell us it's clear the Lexus never made contact with the Prius. Bruce hit the Lexus, which propelled it into oncoming traffic and then struck the Hummer. Bruce then continued on and hit the Prius.
We obtained a re-creation of the accident, which was NOT based on the video but which sources tell us accurately reflects what is on the MTA video. The re-creation, however, does not show the braking of Bruce's or the other vehicles, which could be a factor.
The MTA video is critical ... because Bruce -- and not the Lexus driver who died -- hit the Prius, it makes a more compelling case that he was following too close, which opens the door to a possible vehicular manslaughter prosecution.

'Buffy' Star Nicholas Brendon Arrested Again After Comic Book Convention
2:20 PM PT -- Brendon's rep tells TMZ, "Nicholas is, unfortunately, battling a disease that many of us don't understand. We are working with him to improve upon the situation at hand and look toward the future. He's sorry for his actions and takes what happened last night very seriously. We will take great care to ensure his safety in the future."
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Nicholas Brendon is in big trouble ... he was arrested for felony grand theft at a Hilton hotel.
Brendon was in Ft. Lauderdale for a comic book convention and authorities say he got rip-roaring drunk, trashed his hotel room and ended up asleep in a hotel employee's office.
According to the police report -- obtained by TMZ -- Brendon did $450 worth of damage to the room and was on the hook for nearly $380 in food and beverage charges.
Cops say Brendon refused to pay, and that's why he's been charged with grand theft. Sounds a little like the whole Randy Quaid incident at a hotel near Santa Barbara.
Sounds like the convention folks paid for Brendon's room, but he was pissed he didn't get more, because just hours before his arrest he tweeted, "Hey Twatters! I'm stuck in Ft Lauderdale w/no per diem. No hotel. No ride to the airport. Thanks @Shockpopcc."
Brendon has had issues at comic conventions before this ... he was arrested last October for a disturbance at an Idaho hotel. Two days later, he apologized and said he was going to rehab.
A few days before the latest arrest, Brendon said he split from his wife of five months.
