Power Ranger -- I Wasn't Mighty Drunk

Published | Updated

Because one Power Ranger story today just isn't enough, here's one more: The Black Ranger just pled not guilty to DUI.

Lawyers for Walter Jones -- the dude who donned black spandex to fight Rita Repulsa as "Zack Taylor" back in the day -- were in an Alabama court yesterday to enter the plea.

Jones was arrested back in July when cops said he was driving while hammered around 4 AM.

A trial has been set for mid-November.

John Mayer's $25,000 Mug Shot

Published | Updated

UPDATE: So The Smoking Gun put the mug up around 5 minutes before us. Before we had it in our hands, we put up a post saying we found the mug and the arrest in Atlanta ... which we posted before they got the mug up. Bottom line -- here's what John said on Twitter: "if Harvey Levin at TMZ can produce my mugshot, I will donate 25k to the charity of his choice."

We found the mug ... so pay up, John.

Here it is -- John Mayer's mug shot.

John was arrested on May 26, 2001 for driving with a suspended license in Atlanta -- the case was dismissed exactly one month later on June 26.

Time to fork over the dough, pal.

Published | Updated

TMZ went live with Harvey Levin today to answer your questions about how John Mayer's mug shot scored two local animal charities some serious cash -- and the new report which lists the drugs found in Michael Jackson's home.

John Mayer Hates Puppies...

Published | Updated

...is what we're going to say if this whole "challenge" he made to TMZ turns out to be complete BS.

Here's the story -- John Mayer posted a challenge on his Twitter page, offering to give $25,000 to the charity of TMZ's choice (an animal charity) if we could produce his mug shot.

We've searched all over the place, and we can't find squat. We've even followed up on a lead that the shot was hidden somewhere in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV. Still, nothing.

So, we turn to you -- the public. If you've ever seen a John Mayer mug shot anywhere in your life -- tell us where the damn thing is.

A puppy's life depends on it...

It may not be a defense to criminal battery, but at least the dude who played Yeah-Yeah in "The Sandlot" is telling cops a story that's consistent with his injuries.

Is that a defense to striking the girl? It may be up to a jury.
