Fitness Babe Cara Castronuova Hell, I'll Date Anyone ... For $10K

Published | Updated

Fitness guru Cara Castronuova isn't very discriminating ... she'll go on a date with ANYONE who's willing to pay the asking price -- $10,000.

Cara -- an ex-trainer on "The Biggest Loser" -- tells TMZ she's raising money for her charity -- Knockout Obesity -- by offering a romantic evening in NYC with anyone who ponies up 10 grand.

The best part ... she's open to men and women.

Cara says she hopes to go on at least 3 dates so she can send 50 overweight kids to fat camp. She's moved by the heartbreaking letters she gets ... including one from a boy who told her he desperately wants to shed lbs so other kids will stop pinching his stomach.

So what do you get for your money? Cara says the date consists of dinner at a really nice place and then seeing the new Rocky musical on Broadway.

But here's the deal ... you have to pick up the tab for dinner ... and pay your own way to NYC. She'll take care of the theater tix.

There could be an added bonus ... she says, "Maybe I can find love and kill two birds with one stone."

Chelsea Handler Forget 'Late Night' I've Got Bush on the Brain

Published | Updated

Chelsea Handler is supposedly one of many celebs being considered to take over Letterman's "Late Show" gig ... but Friday she only had one thing on her mind -- and it wasn't stupid pet tricks.

Handler was cruising the streets of Miami yesterday after grabbing a bite to eat -- just days after announcing she's leaving the E! network for greener pastures -- wearing a hat that said "Bush Lover"

According to reports ... Handler is in talks with CBS for her own show on the network -- but now that David Letterman announced he's retiring, she's gunning for his legendary seat.

Don't worry ... Chelsea's not going all right wing -- she's not stating sexual preference either -- it's made by a company in South Africa that promotes staying in touch with the earth.

Groovy.

Bill Maher Don't Cross the 'Gay Mafia' ... Or You'll Get Whacked

Published | Updated

Bill Maher believes there's a secret gay mafia ... and the "Real Time" host says the group will take out anybody who stands in its way.

Maher's show panel Friday night was discussing the recent drama surrounding Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich stepping down from the company -- after he faced criticism for donating money in '08 to support a ballot initiative banning same-sex marriage.

Watch the video ... Maher seems to think a big group of powerful gay men seek revenge against anyone who doesn't believe in their political views -- and that's why Eich was ousted.

Apparently only gay people are allowed to care about marriage equality?

Fabulous point, Bill.

Weir and Voronov have been warring over the dog since their split. Under the arrangement, Voronov will get the dog for 1 week a month ... and when Weir leaves town for more than 2 days.

Johnny Weir Victor Beat My Dog

Published | Updated

Johnny Weir claims his estranged husband, Victor Weir-Voronov beat his tiny pooch ... this according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

Johnny claims Victor is lying when he says Tema, a Japanese chin, was the family dog. Johnny says it was his -- that he got Tema from a pet store, that Tema slept on his side of the bed, that Tema waited by the bathroom door when Johnny took a shower, that Tema followed Johnny all over the house.

Johnny thinks it's ironic that Victor is fighting for the dog, because he claims Victor is volatile and has seen him "strike the dog with force on occasion when we were married."

Johnny also says early this month when he went to pick up some items ... Tema was in a bag on the bed with Victor. Johnny claims Tema was crying and trying to claw his way out of the bag.

And Johnny has a lot more to say. In the docs he scoffs at Victor's claim he's worth $10 Mil, denying he signed a 7-figure deal with NBC. Johnny says, "If I had 10 million dollars I would not be living in a rented apartment in Lyndhurst and driving a leased Lexus SUV.

Johnny alleges a story TMZ broke earlier ... that Victor tried to extort him for $25K in return for not going public about the marriage.

Johnny says Victor ransacked their apartment and has stolen a number of precious items, including a Faberge egg, a Louis Vuitton trunk, jewelry and an Hermes ashtray.

And there's this revelation ... Johnny wears boxers. He says the only clothing that remained in the closet were some PJs, boxers and T-shirts.

Johnny Weir's Husband He Cheated on Me And Forced Me Out of the Closet

Published | Updated

Johnny Weir's estranged husband just filed legal docs, accusing the Olympian of repeatedly cheating on him and treating him like a lap dog.

According to Victor Weir-Voronov's legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Johnny allegedly committed multiple acts of adultery, including having sex with a Chicago club owner and sexting with a porn star.

Victor says throughout the marriage Johnny was cruel to him ... forbidding him from bringing Victor's dog into the marriage for fear it would take his attention away from Johnny.

Victor also claims prior to meeting Johnny he was living his life as a heterosexual man and was struggling with his identity, yet he says Johnny forced him to come out of the closet.

Victor claims Johnny married him because he wanted to do a new reality show and felt a Georgetown-educated lawyer would be a compelling story line. Yet Victor says Johnny treated him like an errand boy.

As for the housekeeping stuff ... Victor is asking a judge to force Johnny to return some of the items the skater took from their apartment, including

-- Crocodile Celine bag
-- 40 Balencia bags
-- 20 furs (including a $125K sable)
-- Green Hermes shoulder Birkin
-- Orange Hermes 35cm Birkin
-- 12 Chanel bags

And Victor wants an order forcing Johnny to return Tema, their Japanese Chin dog.

He also wants temporary support and legal fees.

A source connected with Weir tells TMZ ... the property Victor wants back was Johnny's before the marriage ... which the source says "couldn't be more obvious from the fact that they are purses and women's furs."

The source says Weir "categorically denies" the adultery allegations.

LESSON LEARNED

Jerry Springer just learned a very valuable lesson ... and now he's retiring the word "tranny" from his show ... FOREVER.

Springer was on "TMZ Live" today to discuss the backlash over a recent episode of "The Jerry Springer Show" entitled "Trannies Twerk It Out." LGBT groups were not pleased the show used the term "tranny" ... but Springer claims he had no clue he was offending anyone.

"I've just been educated," Springer said on "TMZ Live." "I won't use that term. I honestly had no idea that you're not supposed to use that term, so now we'll find another term to use."

And that's today's ... final thought.

Johnny Weir Bitches His Hubby Ruined His Birkin

Published | Updated

Johnny Weir made it clear to hubby Victor Voronov -- him straying on Victor was inexcusable, but so was Victor vengefully defacing Johnny's Birkin handbags.

Johnny sent a remorseful email to Victor on Sept. 29, 2013 -- obtained by TMZ -- in which Johnny did a full-blown mea culpa for his misdeeds, but went on to scold Victor for destroying his precious purses.

Johnny writes, "If you decide to wreck things, please wreck cheaper things than Birkins." He goes on ..."The f*** you on the Birkin is kinda cool, though, you artist. I know you don't care about how I'll survive if you divorce me, but please leave my Birkin bags, Celine bags and Chanel bags alone."

It appears Johnny may be a little cash-strapped, because he says "I'm planning them as part of my eBay sale."

Johnny is incredibly remorseful in the email, expressing "eternal" love from "the depths of my broken heart."

So now it's clear ... Victor wasn't Johnny's only beloved accessory.
