TMZ has obtained photographs of Katt in Hollywood early yesterday morning -- which show the comedian with what looks like a handgun holstered in the back of his pants.

Sources at the scene say Katt was involved in a verbal altercation with a group of people outside of Bar Lux Club at around 1:15 AM. We're told during the spat ... Katt went to his car and retrieved the alleged weapon, stuffing it in his jeans.

After a lot of yelling, everyone parted ways.

Katt's lawyer could not be reached for comment.

TMZ has learned Jon Gosselin's apartment in New York City was 'ransacked' -- and the alleged culprit left a note behind with his ex girlfriend's name on it.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ when Jon returned to his pad today, his television was missing and some of his pillows had been sliced up.

Sources say a note was left behind with Hailey Glassman's name signed at the bottom -- but we're told someone else could have easily signed her name on it. The apartment is actually listed under both Gosselin and Glassman's name.

We're told Jon is filing a complaint with police.

UPDATE: Get this ... our sources say there was knife stuck through the note that was left behind -- and whoever wrote it called Jon a "cheater."

Sources say police contacted Mueller for a follow-up interview but she doesn't want to cooperate any further. As we first reported, Brooke has changed the story she told when she called 911.

TMZ has spoken with the man who will decide if Charlie Sheen will be prosecuted. Arnold Mordkin, a Chief Deputy D.A. who runs the Aspen office, tells TMZ he has not seen the police reports yet, but, "Generally speaking, our office files charges when police make an arrest."

Mordkin says his plan is to file charges on February 8, 2010 -- Sheen's next court appearance.

Mordkin also says, although he has not received firsthand information about Mueller's follow-up contact with police, "It is not uncommon where a victim in the throes of an event says some things and thereafter the story seems to change."

Mordkin did, however, warn, "I often file [criminal charges] against someone who falsely accuses someone."

Sources say authorities gave both Charlie and Brooke blood alcohol tests. Brooke registered a .13 while Charlie registered a .04. By the way, the 911 call came in at 8:34 AM on Christmas day.

We're also told Brooke recanted her story to a female officer just before the bail hearing, telling the cop she was drunk when she made the 911 call. Nevertheless, law enforcement sources say police will still pursue the case -- at least for now.

We've also learned Sheen has hired well-known Colorado attorney Richard Cummins to represent him.

Cops responded to the 911 call, arrived at the home and Sheen was arrested after Brooke claimed he assaulted her. Charlie was booked for two felonies and one misdemeanor relating to domestic violence.

As we first reported, Sheen told law enforcement Brooke was the aggressor and he was just trying to defend himself.

Charlie's next court date is set for February 8.

Sources tell TMZ ... There was contact between Charlie Sheen and his wife Brooke Mueller -- but the issue will be who started it.

We're told Mueller called 911 claiming Sheen assaulted her. But we're told Sheen told law enforcement that Brooke was the aggressor and he was just fending her off.

The "Two and a Half Men" star was arrested yesterday morning in Aspen, Colorado for felony second degree assault, felony menacing and criminal mischief -- a misdemeanor. Sheen will remain behind bars until he sees a judge.

Christmas at the Kardashians -- someone has to get punch drunk, right? Who knew the pastor who married Khloe would take it on the chin.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Bruce Jenner dialed 911 last night at around 7 PM, after his neighbor allegedly went ballistic at the valet stand outside the Kardashian's Hidden Hills home.

Our sources say witnesses told police the neighbor appeared intoxicated as he protested the valet situation -- and at one point fell over and cut his face.

Sources close to the family tell us Pastor Brad -- the guy who married Khloe and Lamar -- was all about being Christian on Christmas and tried to help the neighbor up.

What he allegedly got for his good deed -- a right jab, courtesy of the neighbor.

Sources say Bruce got in the middle and broke it up. No one was arrested.

We're told the pastor is okay -- free to marry other wayward Los Angeles Lakers.

We've learned Ventura County Sheriff's Department deputies responded on Wednesday and Thursday. In both cases, Anka called 911. Anka tells TMZ his beef on Wednesday was that Anna Anka copped an attitude when he came over to visit their son and his step-daughter -- Paul has been living in a hotel since he filed for divorce earlier this month. Paul called 911 after Anna refused to let him play with their son.

As for Christmas Eve, at around 2 PM, Anka went to see his kids again. Anka says when he arrived Anna took the kids upstairs into a room and locked the door. He says Anna then went ballistic when she realized Paul brought a security dude over to get video from a security cam showing what happened the day before.

Paul left, came back at around 5 PM, and claims Anna refused to serve him dinner and began telling relatives in Swedish not to speak with him. And, Anka says, she put black tape over the security camera. So he called 911 ... again.

Law enforcement sources tell us they responded both times, and no one had been harmed and no one was arrested.

Last year, Anna was arrested for felony battery after Paul claimed she struck him with a piece of ice. That case was dropped.

Regrets, he has a few.

Kardashian has fired off a cease and desist letter to Dr. Sanford Siegal -- the guy behind the "Cookie Diet" weight loss system -- demanding the Cookie Doc take down a link on his company's web page which suggests Kim uses the product.

In the letter, Kardashian's lawyer threatens a lawsuit, claiming the link "creates the false impression" that Kim uses the cookies to shed weight. So far, the link remains on the site.

Joe Francis believes the United States of America is out to get him, and the "Girls Gone Wild" honcho is now making a federal case of it.

Francis filed a lawsuit claiming the IRS was pissed after Joe cut a misdemeanor plea deal in his felony tax fraud case. Joe says within 3 hours of the time he walked out of the courthouse a free man, the IRS concocted a scheme to unlawfully freeze $33 million of his assets.

According to the suit, the only circumstances under which the feds can freeze assets before getting a court judgment is if it looks like the taxpayer is about to flee the country, if the taxpayer is trying to move assets out of the reach of the IRS, or if the taxpayer looks like he's about to go belly up.

Joe says there was no basis to freeze his assets, other than revenge. So he wants the federal judge to unblock his account ... and he wants lawyers fees.

It's round two for Gene Simmons -- the KISS front man is now being sued for allegedly choking and threatening a couple at a Los Angeles shopping center.

As we first reported, the couple -- Nathan Marlowe and Cynthia Manzo -- were denied a restraining order against Simmons yesterday, but now they're going after the rocker in civil court -- suing for an unspecified amount of cash.

According to the lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Nathan and Cynthia are accusing Simmons of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and more.

The stand-in-line-to-sue-Nicolas-Cage saga has just deepened -- Nic's being sued again for allegedly stiffing someone over a loan.

According to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, Red Curb Investments loaned Cage $3.5 million for a real estate deal back in July, 2007. In return, Nic agreed to pay $29,166.67 a month, which includes 10% interest.

The suit goes into a lot of detail over how repayment was structured, but bottom line, Red Curb claims Nic owes a balloon payment of $1,850,269.67. But that's not all Red Curb is after.

Red Curb says Nic committed fraud and wants an additional $15 million. The fraud, according to the suit, is that Nic never disclosed he was deeply in debt to the IRS and needed the money to pay back taxes.

And there are millions more Red Curb wants to collect from Cage and co-defendant Samuel Levin, who incidentally Cage is suing. Cage claims Levin, his former business manager, is the reason he's gone belly up.

Cage's lawyer, legal pit bull Marty Singer, says, "Any claim that our client engaged in any fraudulent conduct is ridiculous."

UPDATE: The fraud allegation is against Levin, not Cage. Cage is being sued for not repaying the loan.

The 1 1/2 pound baby born to mass-producer Michelle Duggar will have family around her for Christmas, thanks to a family that has opened its home.

Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar - along with their brood -- would have had to travel 200 miles to see 2-week old Josie for XMAS. But a sympathetic family that lives close to the hospital has opened its home and allowed the entire Duggar family -- now 19 kids strong -- to move in so they can all visit baby Josie.

Merry XMAS.

Park -- who's currently playing for the Philadelphia Phillies -- claims he loaned the cash to former Dodgers catcher Chad Kreuter back in 2005.

In the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Park says he made the loan because Kreuter "had been a highly compensated Major League Baseball player" and he assured Park that he "would have no difficulty paying [Park] back."

According to the suit, Kreuter signed a promissory note for the debt, but only made one payment for $290,000.

Now Park wants the remaining $170,000 plus interest and fees for the loan -- totaling $226,358.76.

Brittany Murphy's family is making sure no unexpected guests crash the funeral -- we've learned a security team will be in place at the ceremony later today.

A source close to the situation told us "adequate security" will be provided by Forest Lawn Memorial Park -- it's unclear how many officers will be patrolling the area.

Roderick -- who's currently renting the Los Angeles home out to tenants -- tells us firefighters responded quickly and extinguished the flames in 7 minutes.

We're told no one was injured in the blaze. Authorities are currently investigating the source of the fire.

Hailey Glassman was spotted carting her stuff out of the Octopop's Upper West Side apartment in New York City Wednesday morning ... for good -- the final nail in the break up coffin.

The couple reportedly split back in October.
