'South Beach Tow' Star The Show Is SCRIPTED My Spine's Paying the Price
A guy who claims he was injured on Jennifer Lopez' show "South Beach Tow" has gone to court ... demanding raw footage he believes will prove the whole thing is fake ... except for the violence that left him badly injured.
According to court docs, Robert Ashenoff Sr. claims he suffered serious spinal injuries on set back in September 2012 -- after co-star Larry Diaz jumped on him out of nowhere -- and he had to undergo spinal fusion surgery.
If it was an accident, that would be one thing -- but Robert claims the so-called reality show is actually SCRIPTED ... and producers instructed Larry to jump on Robert without his knowledge.
Robert -- who sported a neck brace on the show after the accident -- wants to sue ... but first, he's asking the court to force producers to turn over all scripts and raw footage from that day ... in order to prove he was set up.
If the evidence backs his claims ... Robert will most likely go for the jugular.

Selena Gomez Blames Her Rehab Stint On Justin Bieber
Selena Gomez went to rehab last month ... and sources connected with the singer say she blames Justin Bieber for her predicament.
We've learned Gomez went to The Meadows in Arizona for 2 weeks of treatment.
Sources say Selena went for a combination of problems, including alcohol, pot and prescription Ambien. She's also addicted to Justin Bieber.
We're told Selena's decision was largely based on "that crazy boy" -- aka Bieber. Selena blames a lot of her problems on the excesses she was exposed to by being around Bieber and his buddies.
Sources close to Gomez tell us ... people in Selena's camp went ballistic when they found out she was hanging out again with Justin ... and saw photos of her joyriding with him on Segways. We're told that was the final straw -- she checked into rehab immediately after that.
The 2-week treatment was part of a program called DAWN at The Meadows ... specifically designed for people between 18 and 26. DAWN specializes in substance dependence, trauma, family dynamics, mental health and relapse prevention.
We're told Selena is not getting outpatient help now nor is she in therapy.

Jenni Rivera Manager Sues Family How DARE You Publish Her Bio Without Paying Me???
Jenni Rivera's former manager is on a rampage after the late singer's family published Jenni's biography -- claiming she's the REAL author ... and now, the manager wants at least $10 million.
Laura Lucio filed a lawsuit against Jenni's estate and family, claiming she managed Jenni since 2004 ... and during that time, she and Jenni co-authored the singer's bio --- "Mi Vida Loca" ("My Crazy Life").
Laura claims the book had several publish dates which were pushed back for different reasons -- and Jenni's sudden death in a freak plane crash in 2012 ultimately derailed the project.
Fast forward to July 2013 -- Laura claims Jenni's family somehow found the book on Jenni's computer and published it under a new title "Unbreakable" ... without so much as consulting Laura, let alone paying her.
Laura claims 95% of the book is her writings -- and under the deal she struck with Jenni, she's owed 40% of the book's profits. So far, Laura claims she's gotten squat.
Laura's now suing for at least $10,000,000. A rep for Jenni's estate says the family plans to fight the lawsuit.

Egyptian Singer Sues Akon For Not Having Pitbull on a Leash
Rapper Pitbull torpedoed a famous Egyptian singer's music video -- after the singer spent hundreds of thousands to produce it -- and it's all Akon's fault ... this according to a new lawsuit.
Singer Tamer Hosny filed the suit against Akon ... claiming he paid the singer $300K for both him and Pitbull to sing on Tamer's new song "Arabian Knight."
Akon delivered the track -- but according to the lawsuit, in return for the $300K ... Akon and Pitbull were supposed to appear in the "Arabian Knight" music video ... but Pitbull was a no show.
Tamer claims Akon promised to deliver Pitbull for the shoot, so it's his fault and he's on the hook.
Tamer says it's double the disaster because he had to pay $100K for cameras and crew the day of the shoot ... all for nothing.
For some reason ... Pitbull was not sued.
Calls to Akon's camp weren't returned.

'The Bachelor' Juan Pablo's No Homophobe ... Says Jilted Contestant
"The Bachelor" star Juan Pablo Galavis is not a hateful, homophobic butcher of the English language ... he's a sensitive, caring man who just can't express himself very well ... says a woman who just got booted off the show.
Chantel Forrest -- a black account manager -- tells TMZ she got to know Galavis well during her time on the show and says he would NEVER offend anyone because they're gay or a different color.
Galavis -- who's Venezuelan but born in the US of A -- told an interviewer gay people are more "pervert" than others ... then asserted the ol' language barrier defense.
Chantel says Galavis shouldn't be bashed for bad grammar.
"I was not offended by his comments at all," she tells TMZ. "They wouldn't have changed my opinion of him. I wouldn't change anything."
In other words ... she'd probably still sleep with him ... we're guessing.

Ex-Bachelorette I Should Never Have Done 'Bachelor' And I Definitely Wouldn't Sleep with Him
Former bachelorette Victoria Lima -- who was booted from "The Bachelor" last week -- tells TMZ, Juan Pablo's anti-gay comments are a HUGE turn-off ... so sleeping with him is out of the question.
Victoria tells us, "If I could do it again, I probably wouldn't go on the show with him being the Bachelor."
Victoria says if Juan Pablo asked her to sleep with him now ... she'd turn him down, and not just for the anti-gay comments. She says he's coming off as kind of a jerk on the show -- a real turn-off.
As we reported, Juan Pablo told a reporter ... he doesn't believe there should be a gay "Bachelor" because gays are perverted influences on children. He later apologized, saying he was quoted out of context ... and his English was bad.
Victoria's NOT on board ... calling the comments "thoughtless and inconsiderate."
She adds, "We should all have the same opportunities when it comes to finding love. Why shouldn't we have a gay bachelor? This is the 21st century, people."

Juan Pablo Galavis Gay 'Bachelor' Would Be Bad Influence on Kids

Juan Pablo raised some waxed eyebrows when he spoke to The TV Page saying "I don't think it is a good example for kids" ... and then said gay people are "more pervert in a sense."

So, we gotta ask ...
12:55 PM PT -- Warner Horizon Television and the show's executive producers just released a statement saying, "Juan Pablo’s comments were careless, thoughtless and insensitive, and in no way reflect the views of the network, the show’s producers or studio."
2:25 PM PT -- Juan Pablo posted an apology on his Facebook page saying his words were "taken out of context" (even though TV Page released the audio with the story) ... and he has nothing but respect for gay people.
Juan Pablo also says he didn't mean to call homosexuality "pervert" ... and blames the bad choice of words on his crappy English.
