Kristen Stewart Still Batting on Stella's Team ... Robert Pattinson on Deck?

Published | Updated

Kristen Stewart's showing no signs of flipping back to team Robert Pattinson ... at least not yet.

We got Kristen and her GF, Stella Maxwell, arriving together at LAX on Tuesday but, despite putting on a united front, Kristen still faced questions as to whether she's back with Robert. Kristen and Robert have reportedly had several "secret meetings" in the last few weeks.

You'll recall, Kristen and Robert had trouble in paradise after she allegedly cheated on him with director Rupert Sanders. Sure seems like Kristen and Stella are on the same page, though.

For now.

Jaime King Victim of Bizarre Attack in Bev Hills

Published | Updated

6:25 PM PT -- Beverly Hills PD tells TMZ ... Jaime was actually outside of the car when the man began smashing it, but her friend and 4-year-old son were inside, parked along the curb. We're told the man jumped on the vehicle and then on the rear windshield, causing glass to shatter ... which struck King's child.

Jaime's friend then jumped out of the car to confront the guy, and he threw a can at her. Police say the man vandalized another person's vehicle right before King's.

The suspect -- 47-year-old L.A. man, Paul Francis Floyd -- was arrested for felony child endangerment, felony vandalism, and misdemeanor battery. He's being held on $100k bail.

Jaime King was rattled to the point of tears when a stranger jumped onto her car and smashed her windows in the heart of Beverly Hills.

You can tell from the photos ... the actress was absolutely terrified. According to witnesses, Jaime was in her Mercedes-Benz when the man approached on a skateboard, crawled onto her hood ... and then started banging at her windshield.

He eventually moved to the back of her car, and you can see ... he nearly shattered the rear and front windshields. It's unclear when Jaime got out of the car, but she was not injured.

Police got multiple 911 calls from witnesses who said the man was on a mini-reign of terror even before he got to Jaime's car -- allegedly punching and kicking several other vehicles, and throwing cans at several passersby.

Lou Diamond Phillips Pleads Guilty to DWI ... Must Stay Sober for 2 Years

Published | Updated

Lou Diamond Phillips took a plea deal stemming from his DWI arrest ... so now he's gotta stay off the sauce for a couple years.

The "La Bamba" actor pled guilty to driving under the influence back in November in Portland, Texas, and was sentenced to 2 years probation ... according to his lawyer.

The conditions of the probation reportedly state the 56-year-old actor must stay sober, take a DWI education class, not enter bars or taverns, report in-person to a probation officer for the first 4 months, and use a portable device to make sure he's not drinking alcohol.

As we reported ... Phillips got arrested after he pulled up to a cop and asked for directions, and the officer realized he was hammered. He flunked a field sobriety test and eventually blew a .20 -- two and a half times the legal limit.

I WAS SCARED FOR MY LIFE

Karrueche Tran was terrified when a man tried to run through security at the New Orleans airport ... and was planning her escape in case he had a gun.

We got Karrueche at LAX Wednesday after she arrived from Louis Armstrong International, where she witnessed a guy get taken down and arrested after he tried to flee the TSA screening area with his luggage.

She tells us she was scared the guy had either a gun or a bomb -- especially with Tuesday's shooting at YouTube headquarters in mind -- but gives props to the TSA agents for handling the situation before cops showed up for the arrest.

Law enforcement sources tell us the man ran from the screening area after he was told he couldn't go through the metal detector with his bag and to put it on the conveyor belt. We're told he was quickly caught and subdued ... but not before he injured a TSA officer in the process.

Fortunately, our sources say nothing suspicious was found in his bag, but it was enough to freak out the nearby passengers like Karrueche.

Because, like she says ... ya never know what to expect these days.

Channing Tatum No Break from Daddy Duty

Channing was spotted out Wednesday for the first time since news broke of his split with his wife of almost 9 years. He was leaving Target in Studio City carrying the ex-couple's daughter, Everly, on his shoulders and carrying a bag of goodies.

Ted Kennedy CIA Operative Says Ted Kennedy Didn't Know Mary Jo Kopechne Was in the Car

Published | Updated

Ted Kennedy didn't abandon Mary Jo Kopechne when his car plunged off a bridge on Chappaquiddick Island ... he didn't even know she was in the car, according to a retired CIA operative.

We've been asked not to use the CIA person's name, but he worked for the agency for decades. He says back in 1969, Kennedy was romantically involved with the wife of a very powerful politician, and if word got out about the affair Kennedy was afraid it would ruin his career.

The operative says the night of the accident Kennedy and some of his buddies were all drunk and drove to a party on the Island. They went there because the politician's wife was at the party and Kennedy wanted to hook up with her. Mary Jo Kopechne was at the party ... she and Kennedy were acquaintances but not romantically involved.

According to the operative, Mary Jo was drunk, said she had a headache, got up and said she was going into one of the bedrooms to lie down.

At some point later in the evening, Kennedy and the politician's wife wanted "some alone time" and didn't want to do anything in front of the group, so they got in the car and drove ... eventually plunging off the bridge into the water. They both swam to shore safely. The operative says both were not injured.

The operative says unbeknownst to either Kennedy or the politician's wife, Mary Jo apparently was unable to sleep in the house because of the noise, so she went into the back seat of the car where she fell asleep ... which is where she died. At least one person at the party knew Mary Jo had gone into one of the cars and told authorities that after the accident.

The operative says cops immediately knew the politician's wife was in the car, because she had left her purse on the front seat. The operative says so began a cover-up to protect Kennedy.

A second person, who was close to Ted and the Kennedy family in '69, confirmed the operative's story. There's a new movie coming out this week -- "Chappaquiddick" -- which chronicles the accident and the aftermath.

Matt Damon Of Course, Bird Poops on Me Instead of Hemsworth!!!

Published | Updated

Matt Damon made the mistake of sitting next to Chris Hemsworth in public, and Mother Nature made him pay for it -- well, a large bird with full bowels actually made him pay.

Check out Matt's shirt -- front and back -- 'cause he got bombed by some bird down in Byron Bay, Australia. Matt spent Sunday hanging with Chris and his fam at the beach -- y'know they're locals in the Bay.

Matt seemed slightly amused after the s**tstorm, and attempted to clean up. He also changed his hat ... just in case.

Far as we can tell, Thor emerged totally unscathed, still ridiculously hot ... and without sleeves.

Chalk up another W for Hemsworth ... who's been on a winning streak since the freakin' gene pool.

Stacey Dash 'Plantation Politics' Ain't for Me ... Withdraws from Congressional Race

Published | Updated

Stacey Dash is waiving the white flag in her bid to become a member of Congress, saying she doesn't want to be a part of "Plantation Politics."

Dash, who was running for a seat in the Compton/Watts area, hung her decision on God, saying, "After much prayer, introspection and discussions with my family, I am withdrawing my candidacy for California's 44th Congressional District."

Dash went on to say, "I believe we live under a system of 'Plantation Politics,' which offers people on the lower end of the economic spectrum little more than symbolic gestures instead of true political empowerment and improvement."

She says the "overall bitterness surrounding our political process" would be detrimental to the health and well-being of her family.

The decision has got to be good news for the Compton Mayor Aja Brown, who is running against incumbant congresswoman Nanette Barragan.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Undergoes Emergency Heart Surgery

Published | Updated

10:40 AM PT -- Arnold's people just told us the following ... the procedure was "to replace a pulmonic valve that was originally replaced due to a congenital heart defect in 1997. That 1997 replacement valve was never meant to be permanent and has outlived its life expectancy, so he chose to replace it yesterday through a less-invasive catheter valve replacement. During that procedure, an open-heart surgery team was prepared ... in case the catheter procedure was unable to be performed."

The rep says Arnold's recovering from surgery and is in stable condition. His first words after waking up: "I'm back." Naturally.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has undergone emergency open-heart surgery ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to Arnold tell TMZ, the 70-year-old Schwarzenegger went to Cedars-Sinai Thursday for a catheter valve replacement. We're told the surgery is somewhat experimental and he developed complications.

Doctors were prepared in case the catheter valve replacement failed ... and quickly decided Arnold needed emergency open-heart surgery, which we're told lasted several hours.

This is not the first time Arnold has gone under the knife for heart surgery. He had an aortic valve replaced in 1997. At the time doctors didn't feel the procedure was urgently needed, but Arnold decided to do it while he was still young. He also said at the time the condition was congenital and had nothing to do with steroids.

As for his condition ... we're told he's stable.

Hulk Hogan Face-To-Face W/ Triple H At Andre the Giant Premiere

Published | Updated

Hulk Hogan was in the house for the premiere of HBO's "Andre the Giant" documentary Thursday night in L.A., rubbin' elbows with WWE superstars and execs like Triple H ... but his return to WWE is still on ice.

Since WWE was heavily involved in the making of the doc on Hogan's former rival, there were whispers that this appearance signaled Hulk moving closer to a return to the company.

But, WWE recently released a statement to clarify that Hogan was only at the event since he was such a big part of Andre's history.

"His appearance at tonight’s HBO premiere of the documentary and his plans to help others learn from his mistakes does not mean WWE is rehiring him."

"Hogan is not scheduled to be at any upcoming WWE events.”

FYI, we got Hogan touching down at LAX the day before ... and he ruled out a WWE return at WrestleMania 34.

Still, Hulkster looked pretty pumped catching up with his old wrestling bros -- plus celebs like Cary Elwes and Travon Free -- on the Cinerama Dome's red carpet.
