Worldwide Pants' Sex Policy -- Yes Means Yes

Published | Updated

TMZ has obtained the sexual harassment policy statement for David Letterman's production company, Worldwide Pants -- and what's NOT in the document is more interesting than what is.

Nothing in the document prohibits an employee from gettin' down with the host. In fact, the document -- which we're told was first distributed approximately five years ago -- does not prohibit sexual liaisons in the office, provided they're not "unsolicited and unwelcome."

The policy does make it clear it's inappropriate for a supervisor to offer a promotion, salary increase or any other type of bonus in exchange for "providing any form of sexual favor to or dating a supervisor."

If Letterman were held to CBS policies, he would have been required to notify a member of the CBS brass and declare his affair. But Letterman is not a CBS employee so that rule doesn't apply.

So ... as long as Letterman didn't reward his office "partners" with perks ... WWP would have no issues with him.

Landlord Declares War on Soulja Boy

Published | Updated

Soulja Boy Tell Em's been living in his luxury LA apartment for less than a year, and he's already accused of being the tenant from hell -- allegedly being too loud, over-crowding his building, and owing nearly $10,000 in unpaid bills.

TMZ obtained a letter the landlord fired off to Soulja Boy late last month which states, "We have received complaints of noise disturbances and guests wandering the hallway and Observation Deck. This is a direct violation of your Lease Agreement."

The letter continues, "Additionally, we were notified that you had over 10 cars parked in guest parking on the evening of September 25th. This is a violation of your lease ... which states, 'You may have no more than two overnight guests at a time unless we provide specific approval.'"

Less than a week after that letter was sent, the landlord followed up with a bill for $9,376.10 in unpaid rent and late fees.

Just last week Soulja was arrested in an abandoned house in Georgia ... maybe he was just looking for a place to move.

We got no comment from his people.

Toni Braxton Dancing with Foreclosure

Published | Updated

Pop diva Toni Braxton has been battling health problems for the last few years -- and she might need all her strength to pack up her stuff and move ... cause the bank is coming after her home.

According to documents filed last month, Braxton has defaulted on her mortgage payments -- and now Bank of America is looking to foreclose. They claim she owes $12,503.20 on a place in Century City, Calif.

Toni closed down her Vegas gig a few years back -- she may want to start it up again ... quick.

Dr. Phil Sued Again -- I Saw the Naked Man, Too!

Published | Updated

Another woman has filed a lawsuit against Dr. Phil -- claiming she too was forced to be in the same room with a "completely naked man, who was exposing his entire naked body, genitals and all."

The lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court by a woman named Crystal Matchett, is basically the same as the one filed by Shirley Dieu last week -- with one exception ... Crystal never accuses Dr. Phil of grabbing her boob.

Crystal alleges Phil brainwashed her, exposed her to the naked man and then prevented her from leaving Phil's production office -- the same location where Shirley also claims the weirdness went down.

Phil claimed the last lawsuit was "without merit" -- we're assuming the same statement applies here.

Shauna -- I Didn't Sleep With My Stepson!

Published | Updated

She's slept with a lot of people -- a LOT of people -- but Shauna Sand claims she's definitely not a notch on her stepson's belt ... despite what her ex-husband's reality show may lead some to believe.

Sand claims the first episode of "Leave it to Lamas" was based around a "lie" that she knocked boots with Lorenzo's son. A.J. But Shauna says it never, ever happened, and released the following statement:

"It turned out the whole first episode of "Leave it to Lamas" revolved around a lie that the Lamas family concocted about me sleeping with my step-son A.J.

It is absolutely untrue and I'm sick of being used and ridiculed by this family for the benefit of their show. "

So there you have it -- the one man who hasn't slept with Shauna Sand.

Cops: Missing Thurman Thomas Statue Located

Published | Updated

UPDATE: TMZ just received the following statement from Thurman Thomas -- the real Thurman Thomas, not the wooden statue version:

"I'm grateful for Orchard Park Police Dept for finding my carving, and I'm glad no Cleveland Browns fans took it and burned it."

A 1000 pound wooden statue of legendary NFL star Thurman Thomas has just been found -- one day after it was reportedly stolen from its perch outside of the Buffalo Bills stadium.

The story is insane -- police in Orchard Park, NY tell TMZ a Canadian dude has fessed up to taking the statue ... but says he only took it to save the 8 1/2-foot carving from grave danger.

Cops say the Canadian claims he saw a bunch of hooligans trying to light the giant pine statue on fire -- so he loaded wooden Thurman onto the back of a pick-up truck so he could drive it to safety.

BTW -- the statue had only been unveiled on Sunday.

Now, we're told the Canadian has contacted the owner of the statue to arrange the carving's safe return.

No word if the Thurman Thomas statue was able to locate its helmet in the melee.

Jon Gosselin Ordered to Return $180,000

Published | Updated

TMZ has learned Jon Gosselin has been ordered to return $180,000 in marital funds, which were removed in violation of an arbitrator's order.

According to Kate's lawyer, Mark Momjian, "The remaining sum of $55,000, which Ms. Gosselin used for household bills and expenses relating to the children, will be subject to further determination by the arbitrator at a later date."

Jon is required to repay the loot by October 26 -- the next hearing -- or appear before the judge for a contempt proceeding.

The judge also ordered Kate to provide an accounting of past expenses -- also due by Oct. 26.

Kate says, "As difficult as this has been for me, I am pleased that the Court has ruled fairly on behalf of myself and my children. Now that this matter has been ruled on, I look forward to returning to private arbitration, as we have agreed to do, to resolve any remaining issues."

Woman Wants $50 Million from Michael's Estate

Published | Updated

A woman who once claimed Michael Jackson communicated with her through his music just filed a creditor's claim against his estate -- and she wants an insane amount of money.

Helen Harris-Scott
filed the creditor's claim in L.A. County Superior Court on Friday, demanding $50 million.

As we first reported, Helen filed a lawsuit against Michael in 2006, claiming Michael installed a tracking device in her car, wiretapped her phone and even had "organized criminals watching me inside my house in L.A. and reporting to him."

Helen wanted $100 million from Michael back then ... so at least this time around, she's asking for a reasonable amount.

New Jackson Albums in the Wings

Published | Updated

Sources who have heard the unreleased recordings of Michael Jackson say there are at least 2 albums worth of class A songs that will be released over time, and some of them are even better than "This Is It."

We're told many of the songs that will make the cut were written and recorded by Jackson after he left Sony in 2004.

As for "This Is It" -- we're told everyone involved liked the tune but it wasn't the best. As one source said, given the title and the tone, "It was the most appropriate song for the end of the movie."

Trump Fires Back -- Tilda's 'Hanging by a Thread'

Published | Updated

Tilda Swinton is completely irrelevant ... at least according to Donald Trump.

The Donald has just released the following statement regarding the Oscar winner's attempt to stop Trump from developing a golf course in Scotland ... but for Trump, the statement is surprisingly tame:

"Where was Tilda Swinton three years ago when everyone else was petitioning? She's a little late in the game don't you think?

Swinton is a part of a tiny little group of people who are hanging by a thread. 93% of the public in Scotland are in favor of the project. I have all of my permits and approvals and we're going to start construction in 3 weeks."

We're guessing she won't be on "Celebrity Apprentice" anytime soon...

The Quaids' Arresting Officer Gets Backhanded

Published | Updated

A second -- and far more pointless -- hand-painted sign has appeared outside of Randy and Evi Quaid's house, which accuses the officer who arrested them of being a DUI ... a Deputy with Underrated Intelligence. Burn?

Deputy James Davis tells us it's unclear if Evi was the mastermind behind the backhanded compliment -- which appeared outside the Quaid's home in Marfa, Texas on Sunday -- because she wasn't photographed in the act like she was last time.

Either way, Deputy Davis is sick of being mocked in sign-form, telling us, "I don't know where all this is gonna go, but it's got me very angry."

As we first reported, Davis has already sued Evi for defamation over the last sign -- which accused him of taking bribes.

Paris Accused of Pig-Like Behavior

Published | Updated

PETA has unleashed a brutal attack against Paris Hilton for buying a pet mini-pig recently, claiming she's setting a "wretched example" by treating animals like they're "as disposable as her friends and fiances."

PETA says of Paris: "The Chihuahuas, ferrets, and kinkajous she's paraded through her home in the past were not accessories, and pot-bellied pigs aren't either."

The good news: Paris told us she doesn't think she'll get swine flu because she doesn't eat pork.

'X-Men' Star's Dog -- Breakin' the Law

Published | Updated

Famke Jannsen -- who played Dr. Jean Grey in "X-Men" -- is responsible for a New York restaurant breaking the law ... and she can thank her furry little friend for helping her do it.

According to New York City Health Code, it's illegal to bring a dog into a restaurant -- including the patio, if food is being served -- but Famke was snapped sharing an intimate meal with her canine at Il Sole on Sunday anyway.

We spoke to the owner of Il Sole, who told us she wasn't aware Famke was there with her pooch -- or she wouldn't have let it happen.

The only exception to the law is if the dog is specially trained -- such as a seeing eye dog -- but we're pretty sure Famke doesn't need one of those ... despite the giant black sunglasses.
