Bill Cosby American Hero Got A Terrible Deal ... Fellow Comedian Says

Published | Updated

Bill Cosby's 3 to 10 year prison sentence reeks of unfairness and sets a dangerous precedent for the future ... so says fellow comedian Joe Torry.

We got Joe at LAX Sunday and he told us it's crazy to see what the judicial system is doing to someone he regards as an American hero.

Joe thinks Cosby's punishment for sexual assault is the first domino to fall ... because more people will end up in prison for mistakes they made "100 years ago."

Torry once walked into court with Cosby during his trial, so he's got a unique perspective. Joe says his heart goes out to the victims, but he's convinced Cosby got a raw deal in this particular case.

As for Cosby's legacy, Joe says nothing can tarnish all the good he's done.

Lil Pump Losing Out On $1 Mil ... Fall Shows Canceled

Published | Updated

Lil Pump is missing out on a huge payday ... the rapper just had 15 shows scrapped and we've learned it's preventing him from earning 7 figures!

We're told Lil Pump was getting $70,000 per show on his upcoming tour ... and with 15 concerts off the table, he's losing out on $1,050,000!

Adding insult to injury ... the "Gucci Gang" rapper says he's going back to jail for a couple months for violating his parole when he got busted in Miami during a traffic stop. We're guessing that's the reason his tour was banged.

Pump was supposed to start touring September 28 with stops in 10 states and Canada ... but his concerts and cash are going out the window.

Track Palin Arrested for Domestic Violence ... Again

Published | Updated

Sarah Palin's oldest son has been arrested on new domestic violence charges in Alaska.

Track Palin was busted Friday night after Alaska State Troopers responded to a report of a disturbance at his home in Wasilla. Cops say their investigation revealed he assaulted a female acquaintance at the residence, then took her phone away when she tried to call authorities.

Track allegedly resisted the troopers while being placed under arrest as well.

The 29-year-old was arrested on charges of fourth-degree domestic violence assault, interfering with a report of domestic violence, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

He's being held without bail at the Mat-Su Pretrial Facility.

This isn't a first for Track either. He was arrested last December for allegedly breaking into his parent's house and beating up his father -- Sarah had to call the cops on him. That case is currently being heard in Alaska's Veterans Court.

He was also arrested in January 2016 after an altercation with his girlfriend at the time.

Rams WR Robert Woods Home Burglary Suspect Arrested

Published | Updated

L.A. Rams wide receiver Robert Woods might be close to getting his stuff back ... cops have made an arrest in his burglary case.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Woods' San Fernando Valley pad was broken into Thursday while he was gone -- because he was busy destroying the Minnesota Vikings defense on "Thursday Night Football."

Law enforcement sources tell us ... cops investigating the burglary pulled over a suspect they believed was connected to it Friday, and found items belonging to the Rams WR in his car.

We're told the alleged burglar had other stolen items in his vehicle as well ... so he's being investigated for multiple burglaries in the area.

As we first reported ... cops believe Woods' burglary -- as well as the burglaries at Dodgers slugger Yasiel Puig's house -- are far from random. Police think they're being targeted by crooks because they're pro athletes ... so it's easy to know when they won't be home because they're at their games.

Hopefully, Puig will get some of Woods' good fortune soon ... especially since he's been burglarized FOUR times.

LAPD continues to investigate.

Tekashi69 Feds Find Gun in Brooklyn Home During Raid

Published | Updated

Tekashi69's Brooklyn home was swarmed and raided by federal agents Friday ... a search we're told turned up a gun.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Tekashi was not home during the time of the raid. It's currently unknown what prompted the search, or who the gun discovered in the home belonged to.

A source close to Tekashi tells us the rapper was already in the process of moving out of the Brooklyn home that was raided. We're told 6ix9ine had not been in the house for several weeks, and many people -- including movers and cleaners -- have been inside the property lately.

Tekashi hasn't been in NY much over the last several weeks. You'll remember ... he was in Colombia with Kanye West, and had a show in Russia where a fan got stomped out by his crew.

You can see from the pics, multiple agents showed up at the home for the search. We're told NYPD also assisted.

We reached out to a rep for Tekashi ... so far, no word back.

'RHOP' Star Michael Darby Butt Groping Allegations Not Enough for Restraining Order

Published | Updated

Michael Darby's facing charges for allegedly grabbing a 'Real Housewives of Potomac' cameraman's butt, but at least one judge believes that's not enough to keep him away from the crew member.

Ashley Darby's husband was facing a restraining order on top of criminal charges for sexual assault, but for now it's been denied because the cameraman couldn't meet the required burden of proof ... according to new legal docs.

We broke the story ... Orville Palmer claims Darby groped him on Sept. 1 while he was filming an episode of the show and then gave him "a flirtatious look." The 'Housewives' star's been charged with felony assault and misdemeanor improper sexual contact. He's also been suspended from the show by Bravo.

According to the new docs ... the incident went down at the home of fellow 'RHOP' stars Chris and Monique Samuels. Palmer also claims Darby kicked him in the lower buttocks a couple weeks earlier.

Palmer obtained a temporary restraining order against Darby, but it expired Thursday ... and the judge rejected his request for a permanent one.

It's a small victory for Darby, but he's not off the hook in the criminal case.

Actor Steven Grayhm Gets Rude Awakening ... Shovel-Throwing Madman on the Roof!!!

Published | Updated

Actor Steven Grayhm's home was surrounded by cops when a maniac on the run ended up on his roof ... and TMZ has video of the crazy incident and arrest.

Grayhm -- known for his roles on the Netflix show "Between" and the movie "White Chicks" -- tells us he was awakened early Tuesday by his dog barking and knew something dangerous was going down ... which he confirmed when he saw cops with guns drawn at the front of his house.

Next thing he knew, the suspect smashed the bedroom window with a shovel in an attempt to get in his house, so he got his wife and dog and fled to safety with the cops out front.

Check it out ... instead of going in, Steven says the guy scaled his home like Spider-Man to get on the roof, where he's seen chucking the shovel like a javelin and shouting threats. Thankfully, he was eventually brought down and arrested before anyone got hurt.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the man was fleeing police when he came upon Grayhm's home and tried to get in. After he was arrested, he was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold because he was deemed a threat to himself and others.

Grayhm believes the man is a transient who was on heavy drugs. He says the guy damaged his wife's car, destroyed their backyard, skylights and AC piping on the roof, and all in all ... did more than $5k worth of damage.

BTW ... here's Steven in "White Chicks."

Michael Darby is no longer filming with "The Real Housewives of Potomac" -- he's been suspended from doing so in the wake of being charged for sexual assault.

The Seahawks cut him back in March -- the same day he was arrested.

CRASHING THE CONCERT

Adam Levine is driving ladies wild north of the border ... 'cause one fan snuck onstage and tailed the Maroon 5 singer before getting arrested!

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the 22-year-old woman was busted for public mischief and released without bail.

You gotta watch the vid ... it's an unreal scene inside Scotiabank Arena in Toronto Thursday night during Maroon 5's concert.

You see the woman (white jacket, black pants) dancing onstage in front of the band before sliding past a guitarist and hauling ass down a runway toward Adam ... showing everyone she's got moves like Jagger.

That's when security belatedly intervenes and carries her offstage -- but not before she puts up a pretty good fight!

TELL SOME JOKES

Flesh-n-Bone says Bill Cosby better sharpen up his checkers game, and his stand-up comedy ... if he wants to make it through the next 3 to 10 years.

We got the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony rapper Thursday at LAX and wanted to know, from a celebrity's perspective, if doing hard time is ... well, hard. Flesh scoffed at first, telling us it wasn't too tough for him -- he did 8 years for assault with a deadly weapon and a probation violation.

But, he admitted Cosby's rape conviction could make life on the inside harder for him. Flesh's survival tip for the disgraced comedian is be funny, as in ... lean on those pudding jokes early. You gotta watch Flesh's reaction when we tell him Cosby actually got Jell-O his first day behind bars.

More than anything, Flesh says Cosby's gonna have to deal with a ton of downtime -- and he's got some prison gaming suggestions for him.

Bill Cosby Hollywood WoF Star Defaced ... With 'Serial Rapist.'

Published | Updated

Bill Cosby's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame isn't going away despite his sexual assault conviction ... but that doesn't mean it's safe from vandals.

Somebody took what looks like a permanent marker to add their own branding to the disgraced comedian's star -- adding the words "SERIAL RAPIST." and "#METOO."

As we reported ... the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce says Cosby's star will stay put on the famous Walk of Fame ... even after he was sentenced to 3 to 10 years in prison and deemed a "sexually violent predator."

His star had already been defaced once earlier this week with the words "SERIAL RAPIST" ... but it was quickly removed. It's unclear how long the latest graffiti will remain.

It's also unclear who's responsible for the Cosby star vandalism, but a pickax wasn't involved ... so that might rule out this guy ... and this guy.

DON'T BOTHER COMIN' BACK

Bill Cosby won't ever have a welcome home party in Philadelphia ... not if one Congressman has anything to say about it.

We got Rep. Robert Brady on Capitol Hill Wednesday and asked how he felt about the disgraced Philly legend being sent away to prison for sexual assault. The Congressman says justice was served.

Brady says it's a shame, but all the good Cosby did has been greatly overshadowed by the mistakes he made ... and there's not going to be a redemption tour. Translation -- the only star treatment he'll get will have to be in prison.

The Congressman also considers Cosby's punishment a #MeToo victory -- not just for his victims, but for all women in the future ... including his daughters.

Kevin Hart Cosby Prison Stand-Up Too Hot to Handle!!!

Published | Updated

Kevin Hart's not going to make the call on whether Bill Cosby should do stand-up comedy in prison or not ... and he's happy keeping it that way.

We got the "Night School" star out in NYC Wednesday afternoon and asked if the recently sentenced Cosby should be allowed to do stand-up while he's locked up ... Kevin didn't want to touch the subject with a ten-foot pole.

Hart says it doesn't really matter to him if the disgraced comedian grabs the mic to entertain some prisoners, though ... because he'll never be in his audience.

Don't jinx yourself, Kev.
