Jim Carrey Accused of Giving Ex-GF STDs ... Triggering Suicide
Jim Carrey's deceased ex-girlfriend, Cathriona White, was suicidal because she had STDs she believed she contracted from Carrey ... according to a lawsuit filed by White's estranged husband.
Mark Burton amended the wrongful death suit which he filed against Carrey -- and in the new docs he says Cathriona had a text conversation with Jim in Feb. 2013 ... where she told him she thought she had contracted an STD.
In the docs, Burton says Cathriona got tested and discovered she had Herpes Type I, Herpes Type 2 and Gonorrhea. He says Jim tried to pressure her to keep quiet about it, which she did.
Burton says before Cathriona committed suicide in Sept. 2015, she wrote a letter to Jim, saying the STDs would make it impossible for her to find someone new after their breakup. She also referred to herself as "damaged goods."
Burton's lawsuit now includes text messages he says Jim and Cathriona exchanged in 2013 ... including the ones referencing the STDs.
We've reached out to Carrey's lawyers and reps, but haven't heard back yet -- but they've previously said Burton is just attempting to profit off White's death.

Tommy Lee My Big Hog Saved My Friend's Life
Tommy Lee's big ass motorcycle saved a man's life.
A friend and the Motley Crue drummer were hanging in Malibu over the weekend when the friend asked if he could switch motorcycles and ride Tommy's ... which was much bigger.

Still ... Tommy's friend was rushed to the hospital and sustained multiple vertebrae fractures. He's expected to recover.

Ryan Sheckler Skating Injuries Are The Worst ... I'd Rather Get KO'd By McGregor
How bad do skateboarding injuries hurt? Bad enough to willingly go a round with an MMA superstar in the Octagon ... 'cause Ryan Sheckler says he'd rather take a punch from Conor McGregor than relive his worst encounter with concrete.
Sheckler -- who has had his fair share of skating injuries -- says the temporary pain from getting KO'd wouldn't even come close to what he's gone through.
"You gotta feel like I'd be knocked down in 10 seconds," Sheckler says. "The skateboarding injuries suck. The concrete sucks. So if I can get hit real quick and out, I'll take that."
"It just seems a lot simpler ... and no recovery time at the end."

Shahs of Sunset Your Zip Line Was Not Fine Now I Want Mine!!
Shervin Roohparvar is sliding toward trouble, because a crappy zip line caused a woman to fall and break her back ... so she says in a new lawsuit.
A California woman claims the "Shahs of Sunset" star and his friend, Nima Nejat, didn't take the proper precautions to keep her from falling from a pool's upper deck -- where the zip line originated.
Shervin and Nima don't own the property, but the suit claims they're the ones living there so they're responsible for not warning of the dangers.
The injured woman claims the fall knocked her unconscious, gave her a concussion, fractured her vertebrae and will result in permanent disability.

The senior citizen is suing the popular Hollywood workout joint for the incident, and in the suit she says the instructor made her attempt an advanced Pilates exercise called an inverted hanging pike. As you might imagine ... it didn't end well.
The woman says her instructor failed to spot her and she ended up falling more than 6 feet onto the hardwood floor -- directly on her head.
She says she suffered whiplash, a concussion and a cervical strain and continues to battle numerous nagging pains and headaches.
The inverted hanging pike is no joke, btw. Imagine your grandma in this position.

Hillary Clinton Healthy As Any 68-Year-Old On a Bunch of Meds
Hillary Clinton got herself a doctor's note confirming she's battling pneumonia ... and also loading up on her medications.
The doc just released a letter in response to all the hysteria over Clinton's fainting spell and it includes a list of the drugs she's currently taking:
- Armor Thyroid (for hypothyroidism)
- Coumadin (blood thinner)
- Levaquin (antibiotic) for 10 days
- Clarinex (antihistamine for allergies)
- B12
The candidate's cholesterol count is 189 (103 LDL, 56 HDL) and her blood pressure is 100/70 -- all within normal parameters for a 68-year-old woman. Dr. Lisa Bardack says she's evaluated Clinton's health "several times" since Sunday, and she's improving and fit to be POTUS.
Hillary's also less cold-blooded than detractors claim ... at 97.8.

Bill Clinton Hillary's Fainted 'Frequently' ... CBS Edits Remark
1:50 PM PT -- CBS tells us the Evening News clip was "edited purely for time while on deadline for the live broadcast."
Hillary Clinton has "frequently" fainted due to dehydration, according to Bill Clinton ... but for some reason CBS removed that comment from its initial airing of the interview.
Charlie Rose sat down with the ex-Prez to discuss the candidate's health, and Bill tackled the question head-on. CBS released quotes from the interview where Bill said, “... because frequently -- well not frequently, rarely -- but on more than one occasion, over the last many, many years, the same sort of thing happened to her when she got severely dehydrated.”
The "frequently" part was edited out of Monday's evening news. What's interesting is ... it was left in when a longer version aired Tuesday on "CBS This Morning."
It's only 3 seconds ... so, seems odd it would have been removed for time purposes.

Pop Warner Football Sued You Didn't Protect Our Kids from CTE ... Now, They're Dead
The Pop Warner youth football league is being sued by the parents of two former players who say their kids died as a result of CTE ...claiming the league didn't do enough to protect the athletes.
The women behind the class action suit are Kimberly Archie and Jo Cornell. Archie's son, Paul Bright Jr., -- who played Pop Warner from '97 to '04 -- died in a motorcycle crash in 2014. His brain was sent to a lab and it was discovered he had CTE.
Cornell's son, Tyler Cornell, played Pop Warner from '97 to '02. He committed suicide in 2014 and was later found to have CTE as well.
Long story short ... both women claim Pop Warner failed to establish equipment standards designed to protect young kids from serious brain injuries, such as CTE.
In their suit, the woman claim PW failed to regulate and monitor practices, game rules, equipment and medical care.
Had Pop Warner taken the necessary steps, both women claim their sons may not have developed CTE.
BTW, the lawyer behind the suit is Tom Girardi -- who's not only one of the most successful plaintiff's attorneys in history, but also happens to be married to 'Real Housewives of Bev Hills' star Erika Jayne.

Steve-O My Ankle's in Pieces After Porta Potty Crash
Steve-O came out on the losing end of a run-in with a wooden porta potty ... and by losing we mean his ankle is shattered in THREE places, and the video is brutal.
We got this video of Steve-O trying to pull the insane stunt Sunday in San Diego -- he perched himself, with a skateboard, on top of the porta potty ... then pro skating legend Danny Way drove a car underneath him, shattering the poop shed.
He even got Tony Hawk to record the whole thing ... and you gotta see how it went down.
In a word -- BAD. Steve dislocated and broke his right ankle. He says doctors set it in a temporary cast, and once the swelling goes down ... he'll need surgery to put some hardware in there. For good measure, he broke his heel in his left foot too.
BTW ... no pain pills for Steve since he's a recovering addict.

Sarah Jessica Parker Blasts EpiPen She Promoted ... Forces Company's Hand
Sarah Jessica Parker's so outraged about the price hike of the EpiPen, she pulled the plug on her relationship with the company ... and painted them into a corner.
Sarah ripped the pharmaceutical company Mylan for increasing the medicine's price by 500% since 2009. Her son has a peanut allergy, and she not only depends on EpiPen, but also was a paid spokesperson. Thursday morning she posted a scathing announcement that she was done working with Mylan.
It's pretty shocking, 9 years ago an EpiPen reportedly cost $57 -- today a 2-pack goes for around $600.
Mylan felt the heat from Sarah and others -- including Hillary Clinton -- and hours after Sarah's post ... announced it would offer coupons, and take other steps, to help make the meds affordable. For the record, it's blaming health care system flaws for the price increase.
