Obamacare Senate Vote to Repeal Fueled by More than 100 Pizzas

Published | Updated

While U.S. Senators held a marathon voting session to take down Obamacare, they were more than happy to spend freely on pizza, after pizza after pizza ... and tons of wings too.

Sources inside the historic vote tell TMZ ... the Senate ordered out to We, The Pizza around 20 times throughout the night. We're told the average order was 7 pies covering the gamut -- supreme, pepperoni, sausage, veggie and just plain old cheese. They also inhaled at least 200 wings.

The delivery guys made out with much higher tips than usual. One driver even walked away with a hundo for a single delivery. We're told the Senate dropped about $5,000 for the evening's grub.

At least they were eating healthy while dismantling the Affordable Care Act. The vote moves to the House next -- so, maybe Chick-fil-A to go?

MY CHEEKS WERE OUT

Ex-NFL punter Steve Weatherford had a real "Wanna Get Away" moment in front of President Obama Thursday ... when he ripped his pants down the crack of his ass.

The Super Bowl champ was at the White House as part of a group of 100 handpicked social media influencers invited to have a meeting with the president to discuss how to use their platforms for good.

But as Weatherford was walking to the meeting ... he split his pants.

DOING THE SPLITS

We spoke with Steve about the situation -- and he told us he couldn't find a set of replacement pants because no one in the White House has "26 inch quads with a 31 inch waist."

Justin Bieber Gives Away Another Dog New Owner Paying Hefty Price

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber's already done with the puppy he got less than 6 months ago -- one of his dancers adopted it, but is now stuck with the bill for a very expensive surgery.

C.J. Salvador tells TMZ he and his parents got Bieber's 7-month-old chow, named Todd, when Justin decided -- once again -- he couldn't care for it due to his work schedule.

Remember, Justin's previously ditched a hamster, a monkey and another dog ... so it's a disturbing pattern -- and this time there's a costly twist.

C.J. says during a recent checkup they found out Todd was born with severe hip dysplasia, and vets say it's likely he won't be able to walk by age 1. He says the only hope is a corrective surgery which will cost about $8,000.

With the help of 90 donors -- including Jaden Smith -- C.J. has raised more than the $8k. Interestingly, Bieber has NOT donated.

C.J. says Justin didn't know about the defect, nor did he tell him about it. He says he didn't want to bother JB because Todd isn't his responsibility anymore.

It's true. 3 words you don't associate with Justin Bieber: responsible pet owner.

Mariah Carey Super High-Priced Pot Buy in Aspen

Published | Updated

Mariah Carey was even higher than 7,900 feet above sea level during her Aspen vacay ... assuming she indulged in any of the high grade marijuana she bought there.

Mimi stopped by a local pot shop called The Original Leaf at least a few times over the Christmas weekend ... according to our Aspen sources. We're told she went with a very popular strain called Amafu, which goes for $400 an ounce! Expensive anywhere other than Aspen.

According to OL's site ... it's a sativa strain that's "great for the great outdoors."

As for how much MC bought -- we're told she never breached the legal limit ... 1 oz. per transaction.

It's possible she was just buying a Christmas gift for a friend, or this explains her initially chill response to the New Year's Eve mess.

'Breaking Bad' Star Blasts Political Rival's Lawsuit ... She's a Bad Loser!!

Published | Updated

Hillary's emails got nothing on a political scandal rocking the state of New Mexico ... and it's fitting a "Breaking Bad" star's at the center of it.

Steven Michael Quezada, who played Agent Gomez on the hit show set in N.M., got sued by Patricia Paiz, whom he just defeated for County Commissioner of Bernalillo County's District 2.

Paiz claims Quezada's wife filled out his election documents, which is a violation of campaign laws. What's more, Paiz says Quezada was not even in New Mexico the day the docs were filed, which she says is required under state law.

Quezada is callng BS ... firing back with these photos he says prove he was indeed at the County Clerk's office the day in question.

Short story ... Paiz wants the County Commissioner to rule Quezada was not eligible to run and therefore he can't be elected, which would give her the win by default.

Quezada points to the fact that he kicked her ass ... 62% to 38%.

Martin Shkreli Leaks Lil Wayne's 'Carter V' Track ... Wayne Launches Investigation

THE LEAKED TRACK

Lil Wayne's infamously NOT released "Tha Carter V" has finally been released -- at least partially -- by who else, but Martin Shkreli ... and we've learned Wayne's pissed.

Shkreli pulled a sort of hip hop Robin Hood move, he claims, by posting this video of himself hyping up, and then playing a track he says is from Wayne's legendary album. He boasts that the song is about him.

Of course, Weezy fans have been dying to hear anything from the album since October 2014, when it was originally supposed to be released. Wayne and Birdman have been in a standoff and legal war over the record ever since then.

A source close to Wayne says this is the real McCoy. We suspect Shkreli's about to have even more legal trouble -- in the form of a lawsuit from Cash Money or Universal Music Group.

A source close to Wayne tells TMZ ... his camp is doing an internal investigation to find out if someone passed the song to Shkreli. As we've reported, Birdman says he doesn't have a copy of "Tha Carter V" ... and insists it's been in Weezy's hands all along.

Shkreli's already facing federal indictment for conspiracy to commit securities fraud.

Celine Dion Sorry, Donald ... My Fans Trump Your Inauguration

Published | Updated

Celine Dion passed on singing at Donald Trump's inauguration not because she's anti-Trump but because she's just booked.

We've learned Celine was one of the people approached to sing at the Jan. 20 event in D.C. but her team had to turn it down due to her Vegas residency. She's set to perform that same night.

Sources connected to her Caesars Palace production tell us Celine is famously loyal to her fans, and cancelling wasn't an option because many fans plan vacations around the show. Also, she already had to postpone several dates this year following her husband's death.

We're told Celine's skipped other big events in the past, like the Oscars, due to conflicting obligations -- so turning down the inauguration was nothing personal.

We reached out to Celine's camp, but no word back yet.

Michael Floyd Hit With 'Super Extreme DUI' ... After BAC Released

Published | Updated

Michael Floyd is now facing a mandatory 45 days in jail ... because his blood alcohol level has been revealed -- and it was VERY HIGH.

The Scottsdale PD says Floyd's BAC was .21 when he was arrested last week ... more than TWICE the legal limit of .08.

Because the BAC was so high, prosecutors hit the NFL star with 2 new serious charges:

-- Extreme DUI with a BAC of .15 to .19

-- Super Extreme DUI with a BAC over .2

Super Extreme DUI carries a mandatory 45 day jail sentence if convicted. The person must also install an interlock alcohol monitoring device in their car and may not drink alcohol for 90 days.

At the time of his arrest, Floyd told cops he had only had one or two glasses of red wine before he got behind the wheel of his SUV.

When cops found Floyd, he was passed out behind the wheel.
