"American Pie" star Eddie Kaye Thomas is safe for now -- the chick who pulled a knife on the actor inside his home back in April has been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from him at all times.

As we reported, Eddie had met 31-year-old Roxanna Bear at Mel's Diner in L.A. just 24 hours before the knife incident and brought her home. The following afternoon, she allegedly flipped and threatened him with the knife ... and Eddie ran out of the house to call police.

Bear then barricaded herself inside, until cops eventually smoked her out (with tear gas) and arrested her.

She has been in jail since, but was just released after finally seeing a judge (so much for a speedy trial).

She pled guilty to a charge of felony vandalism for trashing Eddie's home, and the remaining counts against her -- including the knife threatening thing -- were dismissed.

Bear was sentenced to 312 days in jail for the crime, but was given credit for time served (156 days) due to good behavior. She was also sentenced to 3 years formal probation, and was ordered to complete a 52-week psychiatric counseling program.

Kanye West went full "Spaceballs" in Paris today ... sporting an outfit that was an obvious homage to the evil and maniacal Dark Helmet.

Let's face it ... the villain (we mean DH) has a lot in common with the rapper.

Mr. Helmet prefers to be called Lord ... Kanye goes by Yeezus -- and, of course, they both share a fondness for crushing anyone who crosses and/or talks to them.

Just sayin' ...

Anyway ... "May the Schwartz be with you."

Zac Efron has done rehab for cocaine addiction not once this year, but twice, after a major relapse ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Zac has been doing cocaine for more than 2 years -- he was also into Molly. He tried to clean himself up in March by getting professional help. We're told he left California and stayed in a private residence where he received intensive outpatient care for several weeks.

In April he returned to L.A. and began shooting Seth Rogen's film "Neighbors." During the shoot Zac relapsed in a big way. TMZ broke the story ... Zac was not showing up on the set and it was common knowledge he was using again.

Our sources say after the film wrapped up he got a second dose of outpatient care.

As for how Zac plunged into the depths of coke, we're told there are 4 reasons:

-- Zac has significant issues with his parents, who are still trying to control his life and decision-making.

-- Zac is upset about his movie career, which was once white hot but after "High School Musical" he hasn't had real success.

-- Zac has "girl issues" ... although we're told it has nothing to do with his break-up with Vanessa Hudgens. That, our sources say, is ancient history for both.

-- Zac had been hanging around with "a bad group of friends" who introduced him to the world of cocaine. We're told Zac has 86'd most of them from his life in the last few months.

Oops ... Famke Janssen didn't get the world's creepiest gift from a burglar after all -- cops now believe the children's book that was allegedly 'left' in her home ... was hers all along!

As TMZ first reported ... the 'X-Men' star called NYPD back in August after she returned to her ritzy NYC pad and found a children's book called "The Lonely Doll" in her bedroom.

But now detectives think the book was hers because they found errand lists tucked in the pages of the book -- and Famke's name was reportedly on at least one of the notes. Police reportedly believe the book has some connection to Famke's home.

What's so creepy about the book is the subject -- it's about a couple of toys that promise to never leave each other ... so, understandably, Famke probably feared a stalker had been in her home.

Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck ... more enticing than money.

Take a look at the pic on the top... the casino floor at Planet Hollywood Wednesday.

Now take a look at the pic on the bottom ... snapped 2 minutes later.

The cause of the cluster -- Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake, who were there for the premiere of their gambling flick, "Runner, Runner."

Zac Efron did NOT go to rehab for alcohol abuse -- it was far more serious, because multiple sources tell TMZ he had a serious cocaine addiction.

Zac completed his stint in rehab earlier this year. We're told the problem spiraled out of control during the filming of Seth Rogen's movie "Neighbors," which was shot during a narrow time frame beginning in April.

Sources tell us Zac -- who also starred in the movie -- was a no-show on a number of days. As one source connected with the film tells us, "It was common knowledge he was struggling with cocaine."

Three other sources confirm ... Zac's problem was rooted in cocaine, but say he also dabbled in Molly -- a pure form of Ecstasy, and a popular drug in clubs and raves.

We're told ... early this year, Zac and some friends went on a coke rager in a room at the SkyLofts at the MGM Grand in Vegas ... and caused around $50k in damage. No word on who took care of the bill.

We contacted Zac's rep ... she said, "Don't think we'll be making a comment."

"Grand Theft Auto 5" star Shawn Fonteno (who plays Franklin in the game) believes the age of TV actors ... and even film actors ... IS OVER ... because video game actors are taking over the game BIG TIME.

Fonteno was hanging out by his skyscraper-sized "GTA" billboard last night in Downtown LA ... and hearing him talk, it's incredible. He's straight-up the real-life version of Franklin from the game. You gotta listen.

We ask him a bunch of questions -- about in-game strip clubs, how much $$$ he got paid, everything -- but the best part of the clip is when he craps all over TV actors.

Here's 70-year-old "Starsky and Hutch" actor Paul Michael Glaser donning a silver beard and shut-in inspired swag in London this week (left) -- while 62-year-old "Mork and Mindy" actor Robin Williams was photographed in New York City with the same fuzzy look back in 2011 (right).

Nanu-nanu!

David Tutera should NOT split up his twin babies -- so says one identical celebrity sibling who tells TMZ if the reality star doesn't come up with a better plan, both of the infants' lives will be ruined.

TMZ spoke with Carlos Ramirez -- the twin brother of Efren Ramirez, who played Pedro in "Napoleon Dynamite." CR tells us if David and his ex Ryan Jurica separate the kids, he believes it could cause a major "identity crisis" later in life.

"Splitting twins is a death in itself," he adds. "Twins grow together emotionally and to not let them connect like that will be damaging."

Then again, Carlos' relationship with his twin hasn't exactly been perfect either -- in fact, Efren threatened him with a $10 million lawsuit back in '08 for impersonating him ... and they haven't spoken in years.

One of the tough kid security guards from "Project X" was arrested yesterday after allegedly getting physical with his girlfriend ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ -- deputies received a call from someone around 4:30 pm claiming 'X' star Nick Nervies had been arguing with his girlfriend and it escalated in a bad way.

It's unclear what happened but when cops arrived the alleged victim had minor injuries -- not serious enough for an ambulance.

The 18-year old actor was cuffed and taken to a nearby jail where he was booked on misdemeanor domestic violence charges.

Kiefer Sutherland has nothing but respect for his "Young Guns" co-star Charlie Sheen ... who finally got his high school diploma this week ... because it's something Kiefer doesn't have.

Kiefer -- dapperly dressed in a suit and fedora -- was outside Madeo in LA last night ... and may have been reliving his own high school memories when he told us it was "fantastic" that Charlie got his diploma -- 30 years after the rest of his class.

Compared to Kiefer, Charlie's something of an overachiever. Kiefer himself attended several different high schools as a kid ... but revealed in interviews, he never got his diploma.

The guy who played shoe-throwing bad guy Random Task in "Austin Powers" has been charged with murder in the death of his prison cellmate, TMZ has learned ... and prosecutors could pursue the death penalty.

The guy in the cross hairs is Joe Son -- who was serving a life sentence in California's Wasco State Prison for torturing a woman -- when he allegedly killed his 50-year-old cellmate in 2011.

The victim, Thomas Graham, was serving a 2-year sentence for failing to register as a sex offender. He had previously been convicted for committing lewd and lascivious acts on a child under the age of 14.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Son -- a former MMA fighter -- killed Graham with a combination of kicks and punches.

We're told the brutality of the murder will be a factor when prosecutors decide if they should pursue the death penalty.

Two indisputable facts: 1. Paul Walker is so freakin' hot -- and 2. Paul Walker is so lying to our faces about his photo shoot in Hawaii. Okay, #2 might be debatable.

But we're pretty sure that was him oiled up in the sand, so ... a closer look couldn't hurt.

It was only 71 degrees on Staten Island yesterday, but Ashley Greene made it seem a whole lot hotter ... flashing some side boob in a teeny yellow bikini during a movie shoot in NY.

A pink and white beach blanket just barely managed to conceal the goods ... as Ashley filmed a scene for "Staten Island Summer" at the Great Kills Swim Club ... where some of the locals were used as extras.

The movie's about a couple of dudes who take jobs as lifeguards while trying to figure out what to do with their lives.

Why would you ever do anything else?

Gwyneth Paltrow might be the worst driver in all of Los Angeles (and that's saying a lot) 'cause she CUT OFF A SCHOOL BUS ON HER VESPA WITH HER KID ON THE BACKSEAT ... and it was all caught on tape.

Paltrow and husband Chris Martin were picking up their kids from an L.A. school last week on their respective Vespas ... when Paltrow (with one of her young kids on the back of her scooter) darted out into traffic ... right in front of an oncoming school bus.

The bus driver had to slam on the brakes to stop from plowing into the actress ... and GP scooted away as if she didn't just put a bunch of people's lives in danger.

FYI -- school buses are giant and yellow and generally pretty hard to miss ... so we can't really understand why Gwyneth didn't just wait the 2 minutes for traffic to slow down before leaving the school.

We called Gwyneth for comment -- so far, no word back.

"Twilight" actor Bronson Pelletier has officially learned his lesson after drunkenly whipping out his junk and peeing in the middle of LAX -- finally completing his court-ordered alcohol ed classes ... TMZ has learned.

As we reported, Pelletier was sentenced to 44 classes following his public intoxication arrest for the pee incident in December 2012 (aka one of the greatest videos ever).

The classes -- designed to teach him the error of his drunk asshat ways -- were part of a plea deal Pelletier struck with prosecutors in exchange for no jail time.
