It's a battle of the brunettes!

Here's "Desperate Housewives" hottie Eva Longoria (38) smiling in a semi-sheer black dress (left) -- and "Spice Girls" singer and style icon Victoria Beckham (39) showing off her patented pout while wearing an equally black dress earlier this week (right).

The Question is...

George Zimmerman Gun Group Fronting Him $$$ 'We Regret Nothing'

Published | Updated

The Ohio gun group that cut George Zimmerman a $12K check to protect him after the Trayvon Martin verdict tells TMZ ... they’d do it all over again, despite this week's domestic violence arrest.

The Buckeye Firearms Foundation
was indignant the FBI took George's guns away during the trial, especially because Zimmerman was getting a slew of death threats. So it held a fundraiser and raked in $12,150.37.

As for how Buckeye feels now that Zimmerman can't go a month without screwing up ... they simply say he hasn't been convicted of anything and he's presumed innocent. So, no regrets.

No word on whether the group will be raising money for Zimmerman this time around.

Daddy Yankee $6 Million Spanking For Bailing On Concerts

Published | Updated

Daddy Yankee just got a bitch-slappin' in court ... the Reggaeton star has been ordered to pay $6,000,000 to a promoter who says his EYES BLED after DY bailed out of a major concert tour.

Yankee -- aka Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez -- was sued in Florida back in 2011 after he pulled the plug on a 10-city tour in Argentina two days before the first show.

The concert promoter -- Diego Hernan De Iraola -- says he got screwed out of $820,000 that he paid Yankee up front ... and suffered pain and embarrassment. He says the stress even caused his eyes to bleed ... so he sued for damages and won.

We reached out to Yankee's people for comment -- so far, no word back.

George Zimmerman ARRESTED GF Calls 911, 'He Pulled A Gun On Me!'

Published | Updated

George Zimmerman's girlfriend went NUCLEAR after he allegedly pointed his shotgun at her face and broke a bunch of her stuff ... and we got her dramatic 911 call -- but the craziest part ... Zimmerman says she's pregnant.

As we reported, Zimmerman was arrested in Orlando, FL earlier today after allegedly pointing his DOUBLE BARREL SHOTGUN at his girlfriend ... and shoving her out of the house, this according to the Seminole County Sheriff.

The GF called 911 in the middle of their argument -- shouting at dispatch while yelling at Zimmerman. Once police arrived, Zimmerman placed his own call to 911.

During his call, Zimmerman says the girlfriend is "going crazy" and is PREGNANT WITH HIS CHILD. He says he called 911 so everyone would know the truth about what happened.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, the GF told police she and Zimmerman had become involved in a verbal dispute ... and when she asked him to leave, he began to break things in the house.

She told cops Zimmerman also began packing up his things -- which included a shotgun and an assault rifle -- but as the argument escalated, Zimmerman grew more upset ... and took the shotgun out of its case.

The GF announced she was going to call the police ... and according to the report, that's when Zimmerman leveled his shotgun at her and asked if she really wanted to do that. He then allegedly smashed a glass coffee table with the butt of the gun.

The GF told police Zimmerman shoved her outside and barricaded the front door behind her.

Zimmerman's pickup truck was parked in the driveway of their home (below) ... when police responded to the 911 call. Police claim they eventually forced their way into the house and placed Zimmerman under arrest.

The domestic violence arrest is listed as a felony. The Seminole County Sheriff's website says Zimmerman is not eligible for bail.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... Zimmerman is currently being held in a single cell for his own protection.

Zimmerman has had multiple run-ins with cops ever since he was acquitted back in July of murdering 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Charlie and Brooke Twins May Move to Another Strange House

Published | Updated

Charlie Sheen's vagabond twins may be moving yet again, because sources tell us their new guardian -- Brooke Mueller's brother Scott -- may be uprooting them to a fancy beach community.
We broke the story ... Scott Mueller intended to move into Brooke's home in the same gated community where Charlie lives, so the kids could stay in familiar surroundings and attend the same school.

Here's the problem. Charlie is so fed up with Brooke, he wants her out of his neighborhood. Charlie has the power to make her move, because he owns the house and he told TMZ he plans to put it on the market as early as today -- for $4.8 mil, which is what he paid for it.

Sources close to Scott tell TMZ ... if it looks like Charlie is serious, Scott will take the twins to his home in ritzy Manhattan Beach, approximately 20 miles from where they live now. Scott has a daughter the same age as the twins, and he'd enroll them in her school in the beachside community.

As for Brooke ... it doesn't matter where Scott lands -- his home or the one she's in now -- the judge has clarified that she can't live under the same roof until she gets custody back. So, as we reported, she's looking for a condo.

Brooke is currently allowed to see the kids for 3 days a week, with 2 overnight visits.

Justin Bieber 'I Would Never Trash Argentina's Flag!'

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber could face prison time if officials in Argentina decide to nail him for treating the country's flag like a dirty rag at a recent concert ... but Bieber's camp tells TMZ it was never his intention to desecrate the national symbol.

During a concert in Buenos Aires on Saturday ... Bieber appeared to use his mic stand to mop the floor with a flag that had been thrown onstage by a fan ... and video of the incident continues to fuel Argentinian anger.

A rep for Justin tells TMZ ... Bieber would never, ever desecrate a flag -- and the whole thing is a giant misunderstanding. We're told that female fans were throwing bras and t-shirts on stage -- which is pretty typical -- and Justin was merely trying to brush them off the stage so he wouldn't step on them.

As for the flag ... we're told it wasn't a flag at all ... but rather a T-shirt with the Argentine flag printed on it and Justin didn't realize the item sported the national symbol.

We spoke to diplomatic officials at embassies in Buenos Aires and in Washington ... they tell us people are PISSED by what they perceive as Justin's disrespect for Argentina. One lawyer in Cordoba has reportedly filed legal papers denouncing Bieber for "insulting the flag."

Still ... it's highly unlikely Justin will be going to jail for his actions ... there's no indication authorities will charge him -- even though desecrating the flag IS a crime in Argentina punishable by 1 to 4 years in prison.

Charlie Sheen Selling Brooke's House I Want That Bitch Out of My Neighborhood!

Published | Updated

Charlie Sheen may be banking on absence making the heart grow fonder, because he's putting the house Brooke Mueller is living in up for sale, and he wants her out so badly he's making the price VERY attractive.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Charlie thinks Brooke is poison and does not want her living in his gated community any longer. Charlie owns the house, which he bought for Brooke to live in.

This explains why Brooke was out condo shopping in Bev Hills Monday.

As for the price ... we're told he paid $4.8 million and is willing to sell it for the same amount just to unload it quickly. Sources tell us ... under the terms of their divorce settlement, Brooke will get half of any profit.

We've done the math ... half of zero is zero.

Charlie Sheen DODGES Contempt Bullet For Violating Gag Order

Published | Updated

Charlie Sheen just learned a cool lesson -- you can call a judge in your custody war an "anus brain" and get away with it, even with a gag order ... and that's exactly what just happened.

We've learned the judge in the DCFS case called all the lawyers in this afternoon for an emergency meeting. Sources connected with Brooke Mueller tell TMZ ... the judge wanted to have a chit chat about Charlie's latest Twitter rant and his appearances on TMZ Live.

You'll recall Charlie exploded on Twitter Friday, calling the folks at Child Services "lascivious and incompetent." Sheen then directed his ire at the judge, calling him "Mr. I'm Italian judge anus-brain."

And Charlie went on "TMZ Live" a couple weeks ago and blasted Brooke, calling her an evil whore who's endangering their children.

Our sources say the judge decided it would NOT be in anyone's best interest to hold a contempt hearing, for fear it would turn into a "circus." So we're told Charlie's lawyer promised his client would muzzle himself and be a good boy. And that was good enough for the judge.

Brooke Mueller I've Already Won the War Charlie Will Pay Out His Ass

Published | Updated

Brooke Mueller is quietly smiling to herself -- because she believes she's already won her custody battle against Charlie Sheen ... all thanks to his self-sabotaging rants ... and it's gonna cost him big.

Sources close to Brooke tell TMZ, they believe Brooke has gained the upper hand in the custody war after Charlie's foul-mouthed blustering against Brooke, the judge, and the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services.

Thanks to the diatribes, we're told DCFS now believes Charlie is off his rocker ... and it's more inclined than ever to give Brooke full custody of twins Bob and Max, which is what DCFS always wanted.

But that's not it -- we're told Brooke isn't just confident she'll get full custody, she believes the judge will now award her even MORE child support from Charlie than she previously received ($55,000 per month).

Ca-ching!

Brooke Mueller On the House Hunt, Leaving Charlie's Orbit

Published | Updated

8:50 AM PT -- Sources close to Brooke tell us, Brooke is looking to move because she believes that's what the court wants. We're told Brooke is under the impression she can't live under the same roof as her children -- and when her brother Scott moves in today with the twins, she feels she's required to find another place to live full-time until her custody rights are fully restored.

Brooke Mueller seems to be subscribing to the adage, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," because she's got her sights set on moving out of Charlie Sheen's neighborhood.

Brooke was shopping for condos in Bev Hills Monday ... just a day before twins Bob and Max will be living with her full-time, under the watchful eye of Brooke's brother Scott.

Here's what's interesting. Brooke has been living in a house Charlie bought just blocks from where he lives. Things have gotten so bad between the 2, Charlie has been making noises that she's becoming persona non grata, so condo shopping is not surprising.

As for who will end up paying for the condo ... it's likely good ol' Charlie will end up footing the bill. Brooke's child support was sliced in half after losing custody, but now that the kids will be living with her full-time, it's a safe bet Charlie will have to ante up $55k a month, just like in the good ol' days.

Charlie Sheen and Brooke Producers Pitch TV Series on Custody War

Published | Updated

EXT. MULHOLLAND ESTATES - DAY

Charlie Sheen runs into his neighbor, DCFS honcho Charles Sophy, who's incredulous Sheen trashed him on Twitter.

SOPHY
Charlie, you're such a jerk. This isn't gonna help your case with the twins.

SHEEN
Shut up you miscreant! You're as warped as Judge Anus Brain.

[SCENE]

You could be watching this confrontation soon, because TMZ has learned a TV production company has contacted Dr. Charles Sophy, the Medical Director of the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services, asking him if he would participate in a TV series profiling the real-life drama/comedy in Charlie Sheen's gated community.

Sources connected with the production company tell us ... they saw the post on TMZ, in which we revealed Dr. Sophy lives in the very same gated community as Charlie Sheen, Denise Richards, Brooke Mueller and all the kiddies. And don't forget Paris Hilton, who lives down the block.

We're told the production company wants to do a loosely-based series and asked Dr. Sophy if he was interested in helping. We're told Sophy in no uncertain terms said he was not interested.

It is pretty compelling -- in a city as big as L.A., everyone involved in the drama lives blocks apart from each other and, we're told, they pass each other often on the street. Sources tell us ... the only person who has been fairly anonymous was Sophy, who was not recognizable.

Our Brooke sources say Brooke didn't realize Sophy was her neighbor until he called her in for a meeting with Denise last week.

Our sources say the production company has NOT given up on the idea.

Stay tuned.

Mark Burg, Charlie's manager, tells TMZ, Charlie is exclusive to FX, so thanks but no thanks.

Tom Cruise My Job's As Hard As Fighting in Afghanistan

Published | Updated

Cruise's lawyer, Bert Fields, says the notion that Tom compares his acting to fighting a war is a distortion, pointing to a section in the deposition -- not part of the deposition that was publicly released -- in which Tom is asked, "Do you believe the situations [being in a movie and fighting a war in Afghanistan] are the same?" Tom replies, "Oh come on." Fields says that clearly means "of course not."

For the record, here's Tom's quote, responding to the opposing lawyer in the deposition:

Lawyer: "Now, your counsel has publicly equated your absence from Suri for these extended periods of time as being analogous to someone fighting in Afghanistan. Are you aware of that?"

Cruise: "I didn't hear the Afghanistan, but that's what it feels like, and certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. It was brutal."

Tom Cruise not only thinks he trains harder than Olympic athletes, he believes his job as a professional actor is as grueling as fighting the war in Afghanistan -- this according to legal docs obtained by TMZ.

As we reported, Cruise recently sat for a deposition in his $50 million libel suit against a magazine publisher that claimed he abandoned daughter Suri -- and his quotes are GOLD.

First, the Middle East -- Tom says his location shoots are just like serving a tour in Afghanistan, "That's what it feels like. And certainly on this last movie, it was brutal. It was brutal."

As for his physical training, Tom said, "There is difficult physical stamina and preparation. Sometimes I've spent months, a year, and sometimes two years preparing for a single film." But the kicker, he adds, "A sprinter for the Olympics, they only have to run two races a day. When I'm shooting, I could potentially have to run 30, 40 races a day, day after day."

But it's not all grenades and triathlons ... Tom says he's only flown commercial ONCE in the last 4 years ... and that was because he had no choice.

And there's this ... Tom says the skills he's picked up along the way have provided shortcuts in his relationship with Suri. For example, he says it's not always necessary for him to be physically around Suri, because he can tell her vivid stories on the phone that come to life. Tom says, "I've gotten very good at [talking on the phone]. I've gotten very good at it. I tell wonderful stories and they like hearing it."

Justin Bieber I Got a Bad Tummy Ache

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber must have eaten some bad empanadas in Argentina ... 'cause the singer just revealed he's got food poisoning.

Biebs dropped the crappy news on Twitter Sunday evening, but quickly assured fans his sour gut would not result in any canceled concerts ... at all.

It's one more piece of bummer news for Justin whose current Central and South American tour has been plagued with issues -- like destructive fans, fake hookers, graffiti tickets and hotel problems.

Good thing Pepto-Bismol is global.

Charlie Sheen DCFS Says He's a 'Self-Absorbed' Phony

Published | Updated

Charlie Sheen is a self-absorbed, psychologically screwed-up parent who is quick to blame others for the plight of his twins, but unwilling to step up to the plate ... so claims the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services.

DCFS sources tell TMZ ... they're pissed that Charlie is hurling grenades at everyone involved in the mess that has become his family -- calling Brooke Mueller a "whore," the judge an "anus brain" and DCFS "incompetent and lascivious."

Our DCFS sources -- who work in the trenches -- say Charlie has NEVER made a real move to take custody of Bob and Max. As one source put it, "He cares more about his drugs and porn stars than he does the kids."

There seem to be 2 schools of thought at DCFS -- one is that Charlie is so psychologically screwed up and angry that he should never have the kids, and the other that he has never given the Dept. the chance to take a serious look at him as a custodial parent.

Either way ... DCFS -- not fans.

5:55 PST -- Charlie just tweeted this picture saying "a day of miracles on a field of dreams ... hashtag a real modern family."

Charlie Sheen Gets Jail Pass From Brooke and DCFS ... But NOT Judge Anus

Published | Updated

Charlie Sheen's latest rant shockingly has not incited Brooke Mueller or the L.A. County Department of Children Services into running to court for a contempt citation ... but when Sheen comes face to face with "Judge Anus" it could be a whole different story.

Multiple sources involved in the case tell TMZ ... Charlie's Twitter rant Friday night -- in which he railed on Brooke, DCFS and the judge -- CLEARLY violates the gag order but they don't feel the need to have Charlie thrown in jail.

Our sources say Brooke's reasoning is that it's not her place to put Charlie in the pokey. As for DCFS ... they think it's simply evidence that Charlie is psychologically imbalanced.

The judge is a different story. As we first reported, hizzonor made it clear this week to Sheen ... if he opened his trap about the case one more time he's going to jail. Now that Charlie has called the judge "Mr. I'm Italian judge anus-brain" it seems almost certain Charlie has forced the judges hand.

The case is back in court next week ... so stay tuned.

Justin Bieber Persona Non Grata With Buenos Aires Hotels

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber is screwed ... 'cause the rowdy Beliebers in Argentina just got the singer kicked out of his hotel ... and TMZ has learned all the surrounding hotels don't want him either.

Sources close to Biebs tell us ... Hotel Faena officials in Buenos Aires finally had enough after fans continued to destroy hotel property all week long while camping outside.

As we previously reported, fans were even tearing down the barricades police set up outside.

We're told J.B.'s people have been trying to find another hotel for him to stay at following his sold out show tonight -- but each establishment has told them no ... because all his fans will follow.

Our sources say Bieber's people have NO IDEA what they're gonna do yet ... and are scrambling to find a place for JB -- and 25 other crew members -- to stay.

Motel Seis ... they'll always leave a luz on!
