The real-life Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort got an instant movie review -- from the U.S. Government -- which took notice that Belfort was still living high on the hog despite owing millions.

TMZ has obtained legal docs filed by Uncle Sam 2 weeks after the movie premiered. According to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- the government zeroed in on 2 lavish homes they think he owns in a swanky L.A. beachside community.

The government is putting its paws on the Hermosa Beach homes because Belfort is on the hook for $110 MILLION.

The government placed liens on both properties in an effort to enforce the judgment on behalf of the investors he bilked.

It's interesting ... a company in NYC that got a $27K judgment against Belfort got a lien on a 3rd property in the same area.

Corey Feldman just got awesome news -- Richard Donner told us he's making a sequel to "The Goonies" ... and wants to bring back the entire cast.

Donner was signing autographs in Bev Hills when he dropped the bombshell ... genuinely surprising our photog.

What Donner didn't say ... whether he'll recast the main characters and bring in Corey, Josh Brolin, Sean Astin and Data for cameos, or if these guys will actually play the same roles 28 years later. A gnarly but interesting thought.

Goonies never say die!

Quinton Aaron was booted from a flight Friday for excess baggage -- his stomach.

Quinton -- who stands 6'8" and weighs 500 lbs -- tells TMZ ... he typically buys 2 seats when he flies but only one was available.

Quinton boarded the U.S. Airways jet in Philly for a 1 hour flight to Rochester, but never even got to hear the safety message. He says the passenger who was booked in the coach seat next to him was blindsided and could not wedge himself onto the cushion because of Q.A.'s girth.

Quinton says he talked it out with the flight attendant -- to no avail -- and he was politely asked to leave the plane and then booked on a later flight ... where he secured 2 seats.

Quinton adds, “I definitely need two seats ... It worked out for the better … my knees weren’t pushed into the back of the metal on someone else’s seat.”

Told ya so -- Spike Jonze has emerged victorious ... in the lawsuit filed by 2 men who claim the famed director stole their screenplay by creating "Her."

TMZ broke the story -- screenwriters Sachin Gadh and Jonathan Sender sued Jonze, claiming he stole the concept for their screenplay "Belv," about a cell phone that comes to life and befriends a human.

Gadh and Sender listed a bunch of script elements they claim are a little too similar for comfort -- like how their main character carries "Belv" around in his front pocket -- but the judge didn't agree, tossing the case out of court.

In his decision, the judge tears their case to shreds -- ruling the two scripts aren't even remotely similar ... "Her" is a thoughtful drama and "Belv" is a comedy. In addition, the judge says the two scripts contain different stories, different characters, different themes, settings, moods, pacing, and dialogue.

And that's that.

Leslie Mann went full Robin Thicke on Cameron Diaz last night ... grabbing a handful of booty at the London premiere of their new movie "The Other Woman."

No disrespect to Cameron, but with Kate Upton standing just two feet away ... Leslie made a poor choice.

THIS is the kwan, Jerry ... Cuba Gooding Jr. just made at least SIX figures unloading his Pacific Palisades home -- and the buyer must love hockey because the crib includes a freakin' rink.

Gooding bought the contemporary English estate for $3.5 mil back in 2000 ... and sources tell us he just sold it for slightly under $10 mil!

Check out the pics ... The 7-bedroom home is equipped with a state-of-the-art theater, a 6-car garage and a basketball court/roller hockey rink in the back yard.

FUN FACT: Cuba's a huge ice hockey fan and plays in a lot of celebrity games. Odd ... "Snow Dogs" did NOT scare him off from all winter sports.

An artist who defaced several works of famed graffiti artist Banksy has been charged with the crime of vandalism -- which is pretty incredible since Banksy's collection is itself an act of vandalism.

David William Noll has been charged with FELONY vandalism. According to the criminal complaint -- obtained by TMZ -- Noll defaced 2 of Banksy's most famous works -- Girl on Swing and Peeing Dog.

The L.A. County D.A. filed FOUR separate vandalism charges, because Noll allegedly defaced both works and 5 days later went back and used paint remover on the walls. Max penalty -- 5 years in prison.

Noll could end up on L.A.'s stupidest criminals list ... because he recorded himself painting over Banksy's art, and then posted it on YouTube. The LAPD got a search warrant to get his info from YouTube, and then nabbed the 35-year-old at his mom's house in Modesto.

We asked the D.A. why they didn't also charge Banksy, since he too was a vandal ... and a bragger at that.

The D.A. says the only way they will prosecute for vandalism is if the property owner complains -- and Banksy got lucky ... no one complained about his art ... but they definitely weren't into Noll's handiwork.

According to the LAPD police report ... the company that owns the Girl On Swing building -- a jeweler called Tarina Tarantino -- believes Banksy's work increased the value of the property by $650,000.

Jordan Belfort's creditors are baffled that the real-life Wolf of Wall Street can still afford to live it up in a SoCal beachfront home -- despite owing nearly $100 million to his bilked investors -- and now, one New York creditor is calling BS ... chasing Jordan's ass down in California.

LR Credit previously obtained a judgment against Belfort in New York for $27,597 stemming from unpaid retail purchases Belfort made during his heyday -- but Belfort fled to ritzy Manhattan Beach, CA ... where he reportedly rents a $4 million mansion.

By moving to Cali, Belfort escaped LR Credit's judgment against him -- but only temporarily.

The collection agency just filed new legal docs to make their NY judgment enforceable in Cali ... meaning Belfort's back in its crosshairs.

With Belfort's ENDLESS list of other creditors, however, LR may have to wait in line.

Former NASCAR driver Leilani Munter WILL be taking her "Blackfish" car to Talladega, TMZ has learned -- all thanks to an incredibly generous donation from "Simpsons" co-creator Sam Simon.

As we reported, Leilani had desperately been trying to raise money to pay for the $115,000 fee to enter the car for a big race at an ARCA event at Talladega Superspeedway on May 3rd. As of our last story, she had raised only $7,500.

But that all changed last week -- Leilani appeared on Simon's radio show to talk about her car and orca-related activism ... and Simon was so moved, Leilani tells us, he donated the balance of her entrance fee immediately after the show ... $107,500.

We're told Simon visited Taiji in February (the place where "The Cove" was shot) and has become an outspoken advocate for the humane treatment of orcas. Leilani tells us, she plans to win the race on behalf of orcas around the world suffering in captivity.

Sam -- who has terminal colon cancer -- has vowed to give away his fortune before he dies ... specifically toward animal rights and feeding the hungry.

As if giving the world "The Simpsons" wasn't enough.

Sam Worthington played the celebrity card when he was arrested for allegedly attacking a photog ... asking the cop, "Have you seen the movie, 'Avatar?'" ... this according to the photog's lawyer.

Photographer Sheng Li was in court this AM ... he's also charged with assault as well as harassment. Sheng's lawyer, Mark Heller, painted his client as the victim of a boorish star, who assaulted his client and then tried robbing him by grabbing his camera and attempting to steal it.

Worthington was not in court ... his case is being handled separately.

It's unclear what Heller is trying to do here -- because if his client really did assault Worthington, it doesn't matter if Worthington tried playing the celeb card.

But the always entertaining Heller knows how to put on a show.

Gerard Butler looks ready to do battle with Xerxes again, flashing his buff bod on Sydney's Bondi Beach yesterday.

THIS ... IS ... Atkins? Jenny Craig? More gym, less lunch?

Zac Efron doesn't have any problems with drugs ... at least that's what Zac Efron thinks, according to his friends -- who say anyone telling him otherwise is quickly 86'ed.

TMZ has learned the actor's friends are scared to broach the subject of Zac's sobriety ... because not only will they be ignored -- but they say anyone who makes an attempt is cut from Efron's life.

We're told Zac refuses to believe he's on a destructive path ... and one of his friends tells us they think he could become the next Cory Monteith if he doesn't get help.

As we previously reported ... Zac's friends say he never went to a real rehab facility last year. Instead, they say he received private therapy at a friends house.

Nikki Reed ditched her wedding ring and tucked her head between her legs Saturday in Los Angeles ... just a day after announcing her divorce.

Reed hit up a yoga studio yesterday in Los Angeles and seemed to be in a pretty somber mood -- makes sense, her and "American Idol" star Paul McDonald just ended their marriage.

The couple says they're still working on an album together ... but they've been living separately for the past 6 months.

There is, a house ... in Florida ... and when he's there, Bill Murray loves singing cover songs.

The comedy legend took to the stage Friday night in St. Augustine at the Murray Bros. Caddyshack Restaurant ... and performed a rousing set of songs -- including "Gloria" by Van Morrison and "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals.

We're told Murray jammed out for around 45 minutes ... and in the video, the crowd was clearly stoked.

The man court staff believed was Johnny Depp when he got married on the courthouse steps says even though he's a newlywed, he'd still do the dirty with the real Johnny's real fiance.

Erez Peretz, was back on the streets of Hollywood -- where he makes his living impersonating Johnny -- one day after exchanging vows with his wife.

Fake Johnny says his wife isn't the jealous type ... and even though we didn't see her, she sounds like a babe. She works nearby on Hollywood Blvd. as a fake Playboy bunny.

In Hollywood, boob don't have a corner on fake.
