Paparazzi Photo

Kanye West got mad ... real mad (Joe Jackson) ... at a paparazzi in Miami last night ... after the snapper fired off some questions about Kim's ex-BF Reggie Bush.

Kanye and Kim Kardashian were leaving a dinner date in Miami Beach, when the photog -- NOT OURS -- shouted, "Kim did you know Reggie is here [in Miami] having dinner?"

The pap continued, "Did you wanna go congratulate him on his pregnancy?"

That's when Kanye snapped -- angrily rushing after the female pap after grasping for her camera -- but never actually striking the woman. Kim was smiling during the entire confrontation.

K&K then got into a waiting Rolls Royce Phantom and left the scene.

Afterward, the pap told other photogs, "Kanye West just tried to beat me up."

It definitely ain't the first time Kanye's gone crazy on a snapper -- trust us, we know ... 'cause he SMASHED THE HELL out of a TMZ camera at LAX back in 2008.

Honey Boo Boo and Mama June are coming to TMZ Live Monday. We're excited, so we got to thinkin'...

Not every judge on "American Idol" wants to shoot Mariah Carey (yet) ... the diva had dinner last night in the Valley with the dawg himself, Randy Jackson.

It seems Lindsay Lohan has been UNBANNED from the Chateau Marmont ... 'cause she returned to the legendary L.A. hotel last night ... months after she was kicked out for stiffing the place on a $46k bill.

As TMZ first reported, Lohan got the heave-ho earlier this year after she ran up a crazy $46,350.04 tab on a 47 day bender that included 49 packs of cigarettes and more than $3k in minibar items.

LiLo had told friends the producers of her upcoming Lifetime movie, "Liz and Dick," had agreed to pay her bill ... but our sources say that was never the case.

Hold on to your Manolos, because Carrie Bradshaw and Charlotte York Goldenblatt reunited last night at a gay bar in New York City West Hollywood.

After attending an amfAR benefit earlier in the evening, "Sex and the City" fashionistas Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis hit up the ever popular Abbey for some late night cosmos and girl talk surrounded by some of their biggest fans.

When you're in NYC, you never know who you're going to run into ... like Ethan Hawke and Katie Holmes.

Ethan was hanging out on his stoop with his adorable daughter Indiana on Thursday, when who should just happen to be walking by but none other than Suri Cruise's mom. Don't you just love when that happens?

The two actors -- who both live in the Chelsea neighborhood -- chatted each other up for a bit before Katie went on her merry way.

In just a matter of hours, Khloe Kardashian went from a makeup-free natural woman to a polished and shellacked glowing orange babe in Miami.

Early on Wednesday, the sleepy and blemished 28-year-old soon-to-be "X Factor" host was spotted au naturel heading to the gym ... but just a little while later Kim's little sis was almost unrecognizable.

Her transformation -- refurbished weave, spray tanned skin, and the girls pushed up and into a form fitting strapless dress -- was nothing short of awesome.

Michael Phelps and his magical putter arrived at LAX yesterday -- along with a bunch of other relatively useless bags -- wrapping up his remarkable trip to Scotland.

In case you missed it, the world's greatest Olympian drained the longest putt ever recorded on video, 153 feet, while playing at Dunhill Links Championship last week.

Unofficially, the putt also marks Phelps' greatest achievement on land.

As if he wasn't talented enough, opera singer Andrea Bocelli showed off how fearless he is by in-line skating in Tuscany, Italy on Wednesday.

The 54-year-old tenor -- who lost his sight at age 12 -- was spotted rolling alongside his wife as she rode her bike.

That's how he rolls.

Screw Kristen Stewart ... ROB PATTINSON HAS A NEW GIRLFRIEND -- at least that's one possible explanation for photos that just surfaced ... showing the "Twilight" actor chatting up a hot chick at a bar.

The photos were snapped Saturday night at the Electric Room bar in NYC -- and according to sources inside the establishment, Rob cozied up with the mystery blonde for hours ... even putting his arm around her at one point.

There are reports Rob and Kristen have reconciled following her cheating scandal earlier this year with "Snow White and The Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders -- but these photos might be the smoking gun that proves otherwise!!!!

Just one day after news broke of her split from longtime husband Danny DeVito, "Cheers" star Rhea Perlman stepped out in L.A. today sans wedding ring -- with a big ol' smirk on her face.

As we previously reported, 67-year-old Danny and 64-year-old Rhea are separating after 30 years of marriage. The reason for the split is still unclear.

The news came as a shock even to close friends. In fact, "Cheers" actor John Ratzenberger said he saw Rhea just the other day and she never suggested things were going south in her marriage.

While underneath a huge umbrella, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West stayed dry during a Miami downpour on Monday ... and grabbed each others' badonkadonks.

Kim was prepared for the showers by wearing her ginormous rain shades, a practical leather mini-skirt and waterproof open toed heels.

Looking even more emaciated and gaunt than before, a frail Matthew McConaughey was barely recognizable as he -- with the help of his mother Kay -- left a church in Austin this weekend.

As TMZ previously reported, the normally buff and shirtless 42-year-old is wasting away to play Ron Woodruff in the movie "The Dallas Buyer's Club," the true story of a man who contracted HIV through drug use in the '80s and has to smuggle life-saving medications from Mexico.

With her mother June taking a load off behind her, 7-year-old HBB flashed some leg during her meet-and-greet at Lucy Lu's Boutique in Douglas, GA on Saturday -- signing autographs and posing for pictures with hordes of fans.

Multi-millionaire rap icon Jay-Z made his most shocking purchase ever this weekend in NYC -- a METROCARD -- riding the subway to Brooklyn with the common folk ... moments before his big concert at the Barclays Center.

Jay and his crew took the "R" train from Canal Street in Manhattan to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn on Saturday to mark his final show at the new Nets stadium before basketball season kicks off this month.

It's been 4 years since Katie Couric grilled Sarah Palin about where she gets her news ... and now, we finally know -- the National Enquirer.

The former Vice Presidential candidate was hangin' out with her daughter Willow in a Kmart in L.A. this weekend ... when she decided to check out the magazine stand.

Palin eventually picked up the latest copy of the Enquirer ... possibly because the cover featured a photo of Bristol under the headline, "Plastic Surgery Shockers."

In related news, Palin also bought some toilet paper.
