John Galliano Taunted at LAX -- 'F**king Racist'
Ex-Dior fashion designer John Galliano -- who was fired after launching into a drunken anti-Semitic rant back in February -- arrived at LAX yesterday ... where HE was on the receiving end of a verbal attack for a change.
As John got off his plane, a random photographer (not a TMZ guy) -- shouted at Galliano, "F**king racist."
Galliano -- who issued an apology for the rant back in March -- didn't say one word to reporters as he walked through the airport ... but he WAS wearing a stupid hat.
So, there's that.

Paris -- Burglars PAWNED My EXPENSIVE Jewelry
If you're in the market for some authentic USED Paris Hilton jewelry -- check your local pawn shop ... because the Burglar Bunch HOCKED all of the super-expensive stuff they stole from her house ... so says the heiress.
Paris and her BF Cy Waits were on their way in to Boa last night ... when PH told us, "[The Burglar Bunch] pawned everything that was real ... they only gave me back the costume stuff."
It's a BIG STATEMENT -- because just last week, Hilton was sued by an insurance company for not returning $60,000 in jewelry she borrowed from Damiani Jewellers back in 2007 ... jewelry that was jacked from Hilton's home by the Burglar Bunch.
The company thinks Hilton is LYING about not being in possession of the bling -- because they believe cops recovered the Damiani pieces and gave it back to Paris ... who then FAILED to give it back to Damiani.
The company also alleges Hilton agreed to keep the jewelry in a safe when she wasn't wearing it ... but instead of locking it up, Paris simply tucked it away in her closet.
The company is seeking $60,000 in damages.

Queen Elizabeth's Panties In a Twist
A pair of used panties once owned by Queen Elizabeth II were all set to be sold to a British auction house -- but TMZ has learned the sale is stalled because of Prince William's wedding.
You may remember -- Hansons Auctioneers and Valuers wanted to buy the royal bloomers from the estate of the late "Baron" Joseph de Bicske Dobronyi -- who got the panties after the Queen left them on a plane in 1968.
TMZ spoke with Charles Hanson -- who tells us, "Out of respect and courtesy for a person of such dignity and rank," he doesn't want the deal to go down until after the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
Meanwhile -- the late Baron's estate has already put up most of their items on eBay -- and plan on auctioning the panties in the U.S. if the Brits don't act fast.

Evan Rachel Wood The Merkin Tale
Evan Rachel Wood is getting all sorts of buzz for a special wig she had to rock for an upcoming HBO project ... a wig that was custom built for her crotch.
The "True Blood" star is slated to go full frontal in the HBO miniseries "Mildred Pierce" -- and at a recent NY press event explained, "Let’s just say, I had to wear a wig because it was in the 30s, and everything had to look like it was in the 30s."
According to Wood, her co-star Kate Winslet encouraged her to do it -- “I looked at Kate and she was like, ‘You’ve got to do it. Trust me, it’s so brave. Put a merkin on and you’ll be fine.”
Apparently, she's not a method actor.

Sheen's Shirt Company -- We Might Have to Fold
Charlie Sheen didn't just put CBS between a rock and a hard place -- we're told a recent jab at the shirts he wore on "Two and a Half Men" may have jeopardized another company ... his clothing line.
As TMZ first reported, Sheen released a statement after he got fired from "Two and a Half Men" -- claiming he was happy he never had to "put on those silly shirts for as long as this warlock exists in the terrestrial dimension."
Problem is ... those "silly shirts" inspired an entire clothing line by a company called "DaVinci" -- which Charlie endorsed and even helped design -- and sources tell us, the company is "extremely disappointed" by Charlie's comment ... in fact, they might pull the plug on the entire collection.
But the main designer -- a guy named Christopher Wicks -- is cutting Charlie some slack ... telling us, "Charlie's frustration is based on his current position in life, rather than the actual shirts."
Wicks adds, "I wish him good health and happiness in his new found terrestrial dimension."
