'Django' Slave Toys BANNED from eBay
Don't count on finding one of those discontinued "Django Unchained" slave toys on eBay any time soon -- TMZ has learned, the action figures have now been banned from the auction website.
TMZ broke the story ... the Weinstein Company (which produced the film) discontinued the promotional figurines in response to a massive backlash from several African-American advocacy groups.
After the toy company halted production, the toys began to pop up on eBay as "rare" collectibles ... and bids skyrocketed.
But last night, all the listings for the "Django" toys were yanked from the website -- and eBay explained itself to sellers with an email, saying, "Since the manufacturer of this product has discontinued the item’s sale due to its potentially offensive nature, we are not allowing it to be sold on eBay.”
eBay also cautioned the sellers not to re-list the items.
A rep for the auction website confirmed the story, telling us, "These [toys] were removed as they were in violation of our Offensive Materials policy."

Halle Berry Dunked BARE BREAST in Guacamole on Film Set
Halle Berry's rep tells TMZ, Peter Farrelly left out an important detail in the guacamole-boob story -- Halle didn't dunk her actual breasts in pulverized avocados ... they were prosthetics.
Halle Berry took her top off ... and dunked her bare breast into a bowl of guacamole on the set of "Movie 43" ... this according to the film's director.
Peter Farrelly revealed the boob-exposing bombshell during an "Ask Me Anything" session on Reddit earlier today ... when someone asked PF which actor surprised him the most on the set.
"I would have to say Halle Berry," Farrelly said ... explaining, "I was a little nervous about meeting her because her scene is so outrageous and I was afraid she might get on the set and balk."
"Not only did she not, but she thought the scene was too soft, and asked us to amp it up a little."
"We ended up coming up with a couple of things for her to do that weren't scripted, but were insane. To give you an example [her scene] is about a couple (her and Stephen Merchant) who play Truth or Dare on a first date. Among other things she ended up sticking her bare breast into a bowl of guacamole. She couldn't have been more fun to work with."
Who's hungry?

Snoop Lion Rejected by Bunny Wailer & Rastas
Snoop Lion, nee Snoop Dogg, has done the seemingly impossible -- pissed off a bunch of ganja smoking Rastafarians -- who claim he lied about becoming a Rasta just to make a movie and sell records ... and now they're threatening to sue.
Bunny Wailer -- an original member of Bob Marley and the Wailers -- tells TMZ he's heated about the docu-film "Reincarnated" ... which documented Snoop's immersion in the Rasta culture as he recorded his first reggae album in Jamaica last year.
Wailer claims Snoop has engaged in "outright fraudulent use of Rastafari Community's personalities and symbolism" -- and has failed to meet "contractual, moral and verbal commitments."
And it's not just Bunny who feels burned -- leaders of something called the Ethio-Africa Diaspora Union Millennium Council (aka Rastafari Millennium Council) -- fired off a 7-page demand letter to Snoop.
In the docs they claim to have made it clear to Snoop that "smoking weed and loving Bob Marley and reggae music is not what defines the Rastafari Indigenous Culture!"
If Snoop refuses -- FIRE WILL BUN FI HIM!! Or in layman's terms ... they're gonna sue his ass. We called Snoop for comment, and so far no word back.
And now, something to help everyone chill ...
'The Smurfs' Movie La La Lalalala La La La La Lawsuit
The people behind the new "Smurfs" movie really blue it -- at least according to a construction worker, who says an on-set accident left him all smurfed up ... and now he's suing for $15 million.
Ryan Rodriguez filed the lawsuit against Columbia Pictures, Sony Entertainment, famed toy store FAO Schwarz, and more.
According to the lawsuit, FAO Schwarz in NYC was leased by Sony and Columbia as a shooting location back in May 2010. (For you saps who've never been, FAO Schwarz is the place where Tom Hanks played the giant floor piano in "Big")
Now the sad part -- around May 20th, Ryan claims he fell off scaffolding inside FAO while doing construction on the set and "seriously and permanently" injured himself. He says the accident pretty much ruined his life and he hasn't been able to work like he's used to.
Ryan claims Columbia, Sony, FAO Schwarz and the other defendants are responsible for the accident -- by failing to provide a safe place to work -- and now, he wants $15 million in damages.
A judge has yet to rule. Calls to Columbia, Sony, FAO, and Gargamel were not returned.

'Django' Slave Toys DISCONTINUED
The controversial “Django Unchained” action figures have officially been DISCONTINUED ... after several African American groups called for a boycott of the dolls ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to the toy production tell us ... shortly after advocacy groups like Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and Project Islamic Hope spoke out against the figurines ... the Weinstein Company (which produced the film) reached out to the toy company and told them to put the kibosh on the toy line ASAP.
We're told the toy company agreed, insisting they never intended to offend anyone ... and halted production immediately.
Sources tell us ... the toymakers only released somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 dolls before shutting down production.
We reached out to the Weinstein Company for comment, so far no word back. But earlier this week we got Christoph Waltz out in Hollywood and it sounds like the 'Django' cast has already learned the fate of the action figures.

Edward Furlong Fired from SECOND Film Over Domestic Violence Arrest
The bad news keeps piling up for Edward Furlong -- the "Terminator 2" actor just got canned from ANOTHER film as a result of his domestic violence problems.
TMZ broke the story ... Eddie was popped by cops on Sunday for allegedly attacking his girlfriend -- the third time he’s been accused of domestic violence in only 3 months. Eddie has already pled not guilty ... but he's still behind bars.
And the producers behind Eddie’s new film -- a rom-com called "Other Plans" -- have had enough, firing off a letter to Eddie’s reps yesterday, terminating their contract with the actor.
The letter states, "Given Edwards current status as being in jail awaiting arraignment on two charges of criminal domestic violence ... we are no longer able to engage his services for the film as per our agreement."
Producer Joe Eckardt tells TMZ the movie's already "suffered way too long waiting for [Eddie] to be clear of his legal issues ... It's time to move on now and make our film without him."
Sources close to the production say they were in talks with Jason Mewes -- aka Jay from "Jay and Silent Bob" -- to replace him ... but he's already passed on the project.
It’s the second film Eddie’s been fired from due to his ongoing domestic violence problems with his GF -- back in November, Furlong was canned from a flick called “Misled” following his arrest at LAX.

The Canyons SNUBBED By Sundance
The producers of Lindsay Lohan's film, "The Canyons," are stunned that their flick has been rejected by The Sundance Film Festival and they think it's largely Lindsay's fault.
We're told the Sundance people reached out to producers to screen the movie, and we're told producers were led to believe it was a shoo-in.
But we found out Sundance passed on the film recently, and the film's producers believe it might be due in part to the hijinks of its troubled star. They think Lindsay was a "turn off" to the highfalutin Sundance folks.
"The Canyons" producer, Braxton Pope, tells us his agents William Morris/Endeavor are having a screening for buyers at the end of the month and a number of big companies are interested.
We also spoke with Lindsay's co-star -- porn star James Deen -- who tells us he's not bothered about the Sundance diss ... saying, "It coincides with AVN (the porn awards). Priorities man!!!!!"

'Hunger Games' Star I'm Not Jealous of J-Law ... I'm PROUD!
Josh Hutcherson says he's absolutely THRILLED that his "Hunger Games" co-star Jennifer Lawrence crushed it at the Golden Globes this weekend ... but admits he's ready to score an award of his own.
Josh was strollin' around Beverly Hills yesterday ... and told us he was "very proud" when Will Ferrell announced J-Law as the Best Actress winner for her role in "Silver Linings Playbook."
In fact, Josh says he tried to call Jen to congratulate her on the win ... but she's too sick to talk ... possibly the result of standing too close to Hugh Jackman who was BRAGGING about his flu symptoms during the GGs.
Of course, there's no real way to prove Hugh infected Jennifer -- but we're totally blaming him anyway.
Get your flu shots people.

James Deen Did You Bang Lindsay Lohan?
James Deen sounds like a man with a secret ... 'cause when we asked "The Canyons" star if he ever hooked up with his co-star Lindsay Lohan on the set of the film ... he didn't say "No."
Deen called in to "TMZ Live" on Friday to discuss Lindsay's on-set tirade directed at him ... when we asked if the argument could've stemmed from sexual tension.
After all ... it's not uncommon for a leading man to sleep with his leading lady ... especially when the leading man is a very active, very "talented" porn star.
So ... we gotta ask ...

Lindsay Lohan TANTRUM ON MOVIE SET 'Do Your F**king Job'
TMZ has obtained an audio recording from the set of "The Canyons" ... in which a pissed off Lindsay Lohan tears into her co-star during a rehearsal ... saying, "Do your f**king job!!!"
Sources tell us ... the audio was recorded on the 3rd day of production, while Lohan was working on a scene with the male lead in the movie, porn star-turned-actor James Deen.
During the rehearsal, the director can be heard instructing Lohan and Deen to walk through a scene and "take it all the way to the kiss ... 'cause that's certainly going to be important."
But when the director yells "action" ... something goes wrong ... and a frustrated Lindsay explodes:
"No, can you do it ... Please James, say your line as you're walking over ... cause we're doing rehearsal ... do your f*cking job."
James tries to respond to Lindsay, but she cuts him off ... saying, "I didn't say anything, I said just walk over ... and do your f**king job."
At that point, the director says, "Alright, I've had it ... I'm tired."
Lindsay responds, "So have I."
As we previously reported, Lohan was reportedly a nightmare on the set ... who was constantly late to set ... fought with co-stars and producers ... and drank on the set.
Lohan denies she ever boozed during production ... but says everything else is pretty accurate ... and the audio definitely proves it.

Porn Star to Lindsay Lohan No Hard Feelings
The porn star who was cussed out by Lindsay Lohan on the set of "The Canyons" tells TMZ ... he ain't mad at the actress for ripping him on set ... in fact, he's still a huge LiLo fan.
TMZ spoke with James Deen -- the porn star turned mainstream actor -- who says the audio of Lindsay telling him to "do your f**king job" made him smile ... because he had a great time on the project.
So why was Lindsay so pissed off that day? Deen says he and Lohan had a misunderstanding just a short time before the film shoot ... which put her in a bad mood.
“Hours before the rant she asked why I was doing this movie and I said 'For fun.' I meant for personal experience and enjoyment of working on a Bret Easton Ellis movie. I don’t think she understood my intention behind saying 'for fun' and thought it meant that I wasn’t going to try."
Deen thinks Lohan took his explanation as a shot at her craft -- which was definitely not his intention.
When asked if he was upset at the time of the incident -- Deen told us, "Not at all. You didn’t hear me laughing on that clip?"
