Hillary Clinton The Shoe Doesn't Fit ... But Serious Questions Linger

Published | Updated

The shoe everyone thinks Hillary Clinton left behind during her medical emergency is NOT her shoe.

Check it out ... Hillary was wearing black flats during the 9/11 ceremony, but the one pictured near the curb is some sort of leopard print.

Witnesses say she stepped out of her shoe as she fell faint and that may be the case ... but the shoe in the pic doesn't fit.

That said, Clinton's campaign is dodging questions about their initial party line ... that she was overheated and dehydrated. They made the statement before video surfaced showing the extent of the problem. Once the video circulated, they disclosed she's battling pneumonia.

Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia Friday, so her staff knew the root cause of the problem but chose not to initially disclose it. Clinton Campaign Press Secretary Brian Fallon told MSNBC ... the reason they did not disclose the underlying illness is that they were focusing on getting her better.

Tre Mason's Mom to Cops Football Destroyed My Son ... 'He's Not Himself Anymore'

Published | Updated

Tre Mason's mother has told police ... her son should NOT be playing football anymore -- because the head injuries he suffered in the NFL have had a devastating impact on his mental health.

TMZ Sports has obtained police footage from a July 27th incident when cops cited the L.A. Rams running back for illegally riding his ATV around his neighborhood in Palm Beach, Florida.

When they got to his home, cops told his family they were concerned Mason was too busy "f***ing around" and "should be playing football."

That's when Tre's mother dropped some real talk on the cops.

"No, he actually shouldn't," she said ..."because this is the [side of] football that nobody knows about."

"He's 22 in a 10-year-old's mindset right now ... Tre's not himself at all."

Tre's mother says the family could see an obvious change in Tre's personality after the 2015 NFL season ended.

As we previously reported, Tre has been at the center of several police incidents in the past few months -- and his family clearly believes football is the root of the problem.

The Rams say they have not been in touch with Mason since last season -- and judging by the video, it doesn't seem like they'll ever hear from him again.

Shannen Doherty Not Too Sick For Depo in Cancer Suit ... Ex-Manager Claims

Published | Updated

Lawyers for Shannen Doherty's ex-manager want a few more hours to grill her, and they're not buying any claims she's too sick from her cancer treatments to do it.

Steven Blatt filed docs asking for up to 4 more hours to depose Shannen in her lawsuit against his management firm, in which she accuses Blatt of mismanaging her insurance premiums.

Blatt's side already deposed Shannen for 7 hours -- the standard time allotted in California -- but that can be extended, and Blatt says his motion should be granted since Shannen's illness hasn't stopped her from partying left and right.

According to the docs, Blatt claims days before and after her first deposition, Shannen posted social media pics of herself enjoying the nightlife in NYC and Pittsburgh ... and even traveled to Australia for a fan convention.

Blatt adds she's done plenty of TV interviews too, so sitting a few more hours for questions shouldn't be a big deal.

Shannen's fired back in docs ... saying it's insulting Blatt insinuated she's not that sick, because she's living her life. She thinks the 7 hour grilling was more than enough, and says she doesn't owe Blatt any more time.
