Fetty Wap I Treated a Kid Like Dirt For His Birthday!!!
Fetty Wap just made it impossible for the parents of a 19-year-old not to disappoint their kid ... because Fetty shelled out $8k for an amazing birthday present.
The "Trap Queen" rapper ran into Taekwon "Pug" Ford a few months back when he came to Baltimore to ride dirt bikes with Pug's crew.
Apparently, Fetty knew Pug has an obsession with bikes -- he starred in "12 O'Clock Boys," a documentary about dirt bike riders in Baltimore.
So imagine Pug's surprise when Fetty presented the 19-year-old with a 2016 Yamaha YZ125.
Fetty is no stranger to bikes ... and bike mishaps. He shattered his leg in a motorcycle accident last year. He's transitioned from 2 wheels to 4 -- smart.

'Selma' Movie Shoot Lit Me Up with 220 Volts ... Crew Member Sues
Paramount's Oscar nominated film, "Selma," could have cost an electrician his life ... and now he's suing the studio.
Ron Sands says he was installing a special light for filming -- an "18,000 HMI globe" -- back in June 2014 on the Atlanta set ... when a safety feature failed, and he ended getting a huge zap. He says he suffered severe physical injuries, but isn't any more specific.
In the federal lawsuit, he says he got hit with 220 volts ... something he believes Paramount should've known would eventually happen due to what he saw as faulty wiring on set.
For its part, Paramount says what happened to Sands is just part of the j-o-b, and he "assumed the risk of any hazard" on set ... when he signed on for the production.

Charlie Hunnam One King Arthur Rules Them All ... And It Ain't Me!

Matt Damon Where'd All That Hair Come From?
Matt Damon's either got a serious addiction to Rogaine or sporting extensions because a man bun and full head of hair have appeared out of thin air.
The "Jason Bourne" star made a promo appearance Tuesday in Beijing looking wayyy hairier than he did less than a month ago. The quick change could no doubt be a plug for a hair growth product, but there's a more likely explanation.
We're guessing re-shoots for "The Great Wall," which was shot entirely in China.
Sorry, Minoxidil ... find another mark.

Billy Bob Thornton Johnny, I Never Banged Amber!!!
Johnny Depp could have saved the paint -- and the blood --- when he allegedly wrote the words "Billy Bob" with what was left of his finger on a mirror ... because Mr. Thornton says he never hooked up with Amber Heard.
TMZ broke the story ... Amber and her people claim in March, 2015 Johnny accidentally cut his fingertip off in the middle of an argument with Amber ... and did his artful handiwork on the mirror after accusing her of cheating with Billy Bob when they co-starred in the flick, "London Fields," which was set to be released in 2015.
Billy Bob tells us the cheating allegation is ridiculous ... "completely false."
Thornton says he never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner. Even on the set, he says he didn't hang with her ... he was mostly around members of the crew. He adds he didn't even have a friendship with the actress ... it was all professional, on the set, and that was it.
As for Johnny, even though they were on the same set, Billy Bob says they had no interaction ... did not even speak.
Billy Bob's been married to wife Connie Angland since 2014. He says he's talked to Connie about the story and assured her it was Johnny's fantasy.

Johnny Depp & Amber Heard Possible Victims in Peeping Tom Case
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard might have been victims of a Peeping Tom who shot upskirt videos during the shooting of several of his movies ... so claim 3 women in a new lawsuit.
Kevin Thomas Roy -- a longtime assistant director with credits on Depp's 'Rum Diary' and "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" -- is being sued by 3 women for invasion of privacy and emotional distress ... this according to legal docs obtained by TMZ.
The women say Roy was closely associated with Depp's production team and there's a "high probability" Amber was secretly shot. The suit doesn't specifically mention which movie ... but Amber worked with Johnny in 'Rum.'
The suit claims Johnny may have also been a victim, but no specifics are provided.
Roy is accused of using his phone and planting hidden cameras in bathrooms and other private areas to videotape his friends, co-workers and actors. The suit alleges Roy kept videos going back 7 years ... showing people in various states of undress.
And get this ... according to the suit, Roy secretly shot video of his wife's sister's honeymoon.
According to the docs ... Roy's wife discovered the videos and turned it over to cops. He eventually pled no contest to 2 counts of invasion of privacy and was booted from Directors Guild of America.

Trump Tower Climber Tom Cruise and I Have the Same Sole
The Trump Tower climber and Tom Cruise have one thing in common -- the same taste in shoes.
Five Ten tells TMZ its climbing shoe -- the Rogue VCS 5.10 worn by the man who scaled 21 floors Wednesday -- has seen greater heights with a bigger star and a law-abiding citizen ... Tom Cruise.
The company says it designed the shoes Tom wore in "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" specifically for the scene where his character climbs the Burj Khalifa in the United Arab Emirates -- the tallest structure in the world.
The Trump climber bought 'em in blue, and viewers took notice -- cause Five Ten tells us its online sales have spiked since the wannabe Spider-Man went all daredevil in Manhattan.
But the shoe company's crystal clear -- climbing Trump's or anyone else's building is not the way to meet him ... or, frankly, anyone.

Tyrese Sorry, Rock ... I'm Team Vin Diesel
Vin Diesel just scored an incredibly powerful ally in his war with The Rock ... Tyrese.
Vin's "Fast 8" co-star just made it clear ... it's Vin who is the driving force behind the franchise, and people like Rock need to respect that.
Tyrese posted a pic with the caption, "I've always said that if ONLY people knew how hard you work to protect this franchise and characters, minds would be blown," adding, "I'm so f****** proud to call you my family and my brother."
And then the hammer ... "if no one else will jump out there and stand up I will."
Vin also got vague support from fellow 'Furious' co-star Ludacris, who just posted a pic of the cast ... sans Rock.
War still raging.
