FAST AND NOT FURIOUS

Wiz Khalifa's music video for "See You Again" is about to become the most watched music video of all time, and that's worthy of a giant thank you note ... shaped like a brand new car!

Wiz's megahit video for the "Furious 7" soundtrack was packed with Dodge sports cars, and honchos at the automaker showed their appreciation Tuesday night in Manhattan by handing him the keys to a 2017 Charger SRT Hellcat.

Wiz has a new song for "The Fate of the Furious" which comes out Friday, and we're guessing Dodge whips will be featured again. Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez were also at the event, but no shiny new keys for them.

As for the Hellcat Wiz scored -- we're told as of now, it'll look something like this. Black and yellow, natch.

Christopher Walken Christopher Standen ... For a Pat Down

Published | Updated

Christopher Walken got a thorough frisking from TSA Wednesday morning, and we gotta say ... the agent coulda used a little more cowbell.

We're told Walken was flying out of Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport, but opted for an individual screening instead of walken through the full body scanner.

He's in A-town shooting "The War with Grandpa" with Robert De Niro -- which sounds awesome.

If you're wondering -- he passed. Zero contraband on the legend. Not much more to it than that, but we figured you'd enjoy seeing Christopher travelen.

Let the memes begin!

James Cameron may be the biggest director in the world, but on World Way street at LAX there's an even bigger dog ... the parking enforcement dude.

The video is hilarious. James is about to jump into his waiting SUV when the cop shoos the driver off. Our photog clues the cop in on the famous passenger ... let's just say there's only one sheriff in town.

Cameron's a great sport.

I'LL BE READY

Michael Bisping says there are two little things holding up his superfight with Georges St-Pierre ... GSP's testicles.

The reigning UFC middleweight champ tells TMZ Sports he's ready to fight Georges RIGHT NOW -- but St-Pierre is holding up the process.

"I think he's waiting for his balls to grow," Bisping said ... "I think he's doing some bicep curls, taking some protein shakes and then when he's big enough, then maybe we can do the fight."

Meantime, Bisping's now in Thailand to shoot the action movie "Triple Threat" with Michael Jai White and Tony Jaa.

As for allegations Bisping's ducking other fighters like Yoel Romero and Jacare Souza -- The Count has some strong words for them too.

German Car Goes Back to Manure ... No S***!

Published | Updated

A German dad and his daughter pulled a Biff Tannen when a trailer full of manure got dumped on their convertible.

German law enforcement says the dumping happened Saturday in a town about 18 miles north of Munich, where the 52-year-old dad and his kid were parked roadside ... minding their own business.

That's when a tractor pulling a trailer full of manure swung in their direction while driving by ... and unloaded the crap on them and their Renault.

There ain't enough steam cleaners in the world to save the car. Police said no one was injured -- but that's easy for him to say. The father and daughter were reportedly covered from head to toe.

Just like Marty McFly would draw it up.

'Shawshank Redemption' Famous Oak Tree Cut Down Forever

Published | Updated

The giant oak tree where Morgan Freeman found Andy's note at the end of "The Shawshank Redemption" was cut down this weekend ... and will probably be made into a table.

A co-owner of the Ohio property where the tree sat decided to pull the trigger ... or fire up the tractor, actually -- to rip up what remained of the 200-year-old oak. It was famously damaged back in 2011 when high winds knocked it over.

It suffered even more damage in a storm last summer.

The owner, Dan Dees, told the Mansfield News-Journal he removed the tree to use the surrounding field for farming. He also said he's gotten offers for parts of the tree, but hasn't made any plans to sell off the lumber.

In fact, the only concrete plans are to "make a table out of it, or a bench."

As Red might put it ... That tree just got busy dying.

NOT RULING IT OUT

Sylvester Stallone made a huge point Friday night, shooting down rumors he's out of the "Expendables" game.

We got Sly coming out of Craig's and asked if he's open to doing "Expendables 4" and he jumped on the question, sounding like he's down with it.

We got some other actors from the "Expendables" franchise earlier this week -- including Wesley Snipes and Dolph Lundgren, both of whom said they wouldn't do 4 without Sly.

Sounds like it's gonna happen.

Aaron Rodgers & Olivia Munn DUNZO

Published | Updated

They said it would never last ... and they were right. Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers have broken up just months after rumors swirled that they were engaged.

The Green Bay Packers QB and the 'X-Men' actress began dating in 2014 but have finally decided to call it quits, this according to People.

There was a huge rift between Aaron and his family over the years -- and many people believed Olivia played a part ... though Aaron never publicly addressed it.

No word on why the two split -- but Olivia has been hanging out with her close friend, Ayesha Curry, over the past few days without Rodgers. Our guess is she's leaning on Ayesha for emotional support.

I'M CLEANIN' UP THE TRASH

Joe Budden's had enough of all the crappy, unwatchable movies that are being released ... so he's writing his own.

The rapper and host of "I'll Name This Podcast Later" tells us ... he's had it just sitting on the sidelines and critiquing trash films -- including a recent box office flop -- so he's penning a psychological thriller.

He also thinks he's going to be part of a wave of rappers -- along with guys like Ice Cube, Common and Childish Gambino -- to expand their horizons.

Michelle Rodriguez Fake Penis Made Me Feel MORE Like a Woman

Published | Updated

Michelle Rodriguez got a strange feeling from a prosthetic penis.

To be clear, she was wearing it for her new movie, "The Assignment." She plays a transgender female hitman (if that makes sense) and the role called for her own "Boogie Nights" moment.

Michelle was outside "The Daily Show" studio in NYC when she broke down her genital experience -- y'know, being a woman playing a man who transitions to a woman.

Open your mind and check out the clip -- Michelle's answer is a bit of a head-scratcher, but definitely sounds like she had a good time.

Channing Tatum Grills Vegas 'Magic Mike Live' Dancers

Published | Updated

The "Magic Mike Live" cast doesn't need more meat on their bones, but got some anyway ... courtesy of Channing Tatum, who grilled for the guys on their day off.

The live stage version of the movie is in previews in Sin City, and the guys have been rehearsing nonstop. Channing's not in it, but has been there consulting, and decided to reward the cast with a family-style BBQ.

We're told the party was thrown at the $5 million Airbnb crib that Channing's been staying outside of Vegas for free. It's in the same ritzy hood as Wayne Newton’s famous estate.

Looks like the guys kept their shirts on for most of the party. Savin' it for the stage, we guess.

Harrison Ford Got Off Too Easy Some FAA Inspectors Grouse

Published | Updated

Harrison Ford should have been forced to re-prove himself as a pilot ... according to some FAA investigators who feel the actor got off too easy for his taxiway landing.

Ford was cleared Monday by the FAA for the February mishap in which he buzzed a 737 jet and put his single engine plane down on the taxiway at John Wayne International Airport in Orange County, CA.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ the FAA inspector and managers who made the decision were unanimous ... no discipline or further action was appropriate.

We're told not everyone at the Agency agreed -- some aviation inspectors feel 74-year-old Harrison should have been ordered to take what's called a "709 ride" ... where an inspector re-examines a pilot's skills.

The feeling is Harrison might have gotten preferential treatment because he's a celebrity, but his lawyer, Steve Hofer, tells TMZ Ford was put through the ringer, and any notion of preferential treatment is ridiculous.

Hofer says Ford went for a meeting at the FAA with multiple inspectors and was grilled. He was asked "hard questions" and shown video, computer simulations, radar data and listened to audio of the incident ... and faced questions about his decisions.

Hofer says the FAA required Ford to engage in airman counseling, where he was given materials to review on pilot protocol and safety. He was then ordered back for a second meeting where he was quizzed on the materials. The process took a number of hours and Hofer says the inspectors were so tough he wasn't sure what they'd recommend.

And Ford's lawyer adds, Ford has been flying for more than 20 years ... a 709 ride was unnecessary ... especially after inspectors were satisfied with the airman's counseling.

Ian Gregor of the FAA tells us, "The way we resolved this case is consistent with FAA policy."

Shia LaBeouf New Movie Sells Just One Ticket In U.K. Debut

Published | Updated

Shia LaBeouf won't be dividing anyone in the U.K. 'cause almost everyone over there agrees ... they're just not that into his new movie.

Shia's indie flick, "Man Down," squeaked out 1 ticket sale at a theater in Burnley, England ... according to comScore. That's a weekend haul of £7 ... or $8.70 for the debut weekend.

We'd say word of mouth might boost week 2 sales, but the movie also scored 15% on Rotten Tomatoes.

On a positive note ... "Man Down" reportedly made $454,490 in its first month of a limited run in U.S. theaters. In the film, Shia plays a war vet suffering from PTSD after his tour in Afghanistan.

Ben Affleck I'm the Batman And the Soccer Dad

Ben Affleck's juggling a lot of roles these days, and his face looks like he got his 2 biggest ones confused Saturday at his daughter's soccer game.

Ben had his full Batman scowl going on the sidelines of Seraphina's match. Maybe he was thinking about "Justice League" promo work ... or maybe someone blew a call in the game.

You wanna mess with the Dark Knight, ref?
