M.J. was swarmed by paparazzi and fans as he made his way to the swanky Nobu restaurant. Nevermind that he paid a cool $20 million to make a young boy go away -- Jackson is still the darling across the pond. People were screaming how much they loved the emaciated, literally fading star.

Imagine Jacko's shock when he got gang-banged in the extreme by a man pretending to be Jesus Christ. Actually, the imposter was British comedian Aaron Barschak, who dressed up as Jesus and pressed a magazine titled "Gang Bang Extreme" against the window of Jackson's limo.

Barschak, best known for a 2003 incident in which he gate-crashed Prince William's 21st birthday party at Windsor Castle, was arrested.

TMZ's intrepid camera-packin' duo hit the streets of Hollywood on Monday night and caught up with one of the most random lists ever in Star Catcher history.

Josh Levine and G-Hollywood hit up all the hotspots in L.A., hoping to snag the latest Paris Hilton debacle or Lindsay Lohan trainwreck. What they got: Billy Crystal, Pam Anderson and a few D-listers looking for some videographic love; Club regular and struggling actor Cuba Gooding Jr., Geraldo Rivera, Hilary Duff's older sister Haylie, Won G (again), "Laguna Beach" bad boy Jason Wahler, Meagan Good, and making a very rare appearance, Xena the Warrior Princess herself, Lucy Lawless. We're pitching this as an episode of "Surreal Life."

Only in Hollywood, kids, only in Hollywood.

It was all smiles for Duane "Dog" Chapman on Saturday night, when we spotted the "Dog: The Bounty Hunter" star and his wife outside the celeb-friendly Mr. Chow restaurant in Beverly Hills. Despite his trouble with the law, the Dog was all smiles, stopping to pose for cameras and giving TMZ's cameras a quick shout out.

Chapman was recently arrested by U.S. Marshals after Mexico issued a warrant related to his bounty-style capture three years ago of convicted rapist and Max Factor cosmetics heir, Andrew Luster (now serving a 124 year sentence). The Dog caught a much deserved break when a Mexican court moved to delay the charges until more evidence could be presented. Que bueno, Perro!

TMZ was all ovah the place this past weekend, hitting up all the hotspots to bring you this jam-packed weekend edition of Star Catcher.

We stopped by the celebs' favorite mess halls; the Ivy and Mr.Chow. At the Ivy, we caught up with the new and slightly improved Nicole Richie, seen making her way past a throng of paparazzi. At Mr Chow, it was all femmes fatales; we saw classy Sharon Stone and a pigtailed Jessica Alba.

From there it was off to the club scene; stopping by Republic, Area and Hyde -- where we saw the usual faces and some new ones. Celebs on the guestlist included comedian Andy Dick, Sean Patrick Thomas, hip-hop producer Suge Knight, "Rush Hour" star Chris Tucker, Robbie Williams, up-and-comer Won G, Stavros Niarchos --and what's a weekend without TMZ's favorite party girl, Lindsay Lohan?

The rapper/dancer/slacker was waiting in line when shoppers started approaching him with camera-phones and autograph requests.

Perhaps if Kevin's performances were all Wal*Mart in-store shows, he might sell more tickets. Then again, maybe not.

Brangelina and company made their gorgeous way to the airport in Pune yesterday, with Brad carrying baby Shiloh (who again remained hidden from view) and Angie holding Maddox's hand and carrying Zahara. The family was seen off by very few paparazzi, a far cry from the crush they will undoubtedly face once they return to California.

Justin Timberlake was spotted over the weekend at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood. While picking up his black BMW from the valet, a photog asked the pop star, "Do you have anything to say about the recent divorce of Britney and Kevin?"

JT shot back, "Yeah, there's a war going on in Iraq."

Thank you, Captain Obvious.

Schoolteacher ... Mexican cook-wrestler ... Monarch?

Soft-bellied funnyman Jack Black took to the streets of Hollywood with his loyal footmen, Kyle Gass and Andy Dick, for the premiere of his new film, "Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny." The ermine-robed and gold-crowned King Jack strolled though town with an unusually beatific look on his face, soaking up the adulation of his fawning acolytes.

Dennis Rodman had 1,600 assists during his NBA career, but the one he made last might be his best.

Following a night of partying at Area nightclub in Hollywood, The Worm stopped a man who seemed like he'd been partying a little too hard. After a brief conversation, Rodman put his size 14 foot down.

"Hand me your keys ... I'm Dennis Rodman!" The seemingly inebriated man replied, "I know who you are ... I love you man." Rodman took the man's key and victoriously yelled, "It's all love baby!"

According to witnesses, Dennis had an SUV -- with a sober driver -- waiting on the street to drive everyone safely home. MADD props to Dennis for keeping a menace off the road.

Jason Davis -- better known to the world as the older, wider brother of Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis -- continued his epic losing streak last night at L.A. hotspot, Area. Even after offering door guardians some of his oil-heir money to buy a table -- or seven -- he was still nixed!

The whalish Mr. D does his best Borat impression, but ends up sounding like a creepy European rather than Sacha Baron Cohen. Then he appears to lead his fetching female companion by the wrist, making her look like she's being held captive by the portly boor.

Getting turned away from a club isn't new for J-bear. Still more humiliating -- his young ladyfriend, after giving him a quick peck on the lips, executed not one, but two, head-fakes when he went in for another smooch. Ouch!

TMZ cameras and G-Hollywood hit the streets of L.A. on Thursday night, stopping by all the hotspots to bring you this star-studded edition of Star Catcher.

Our first stop was at Area in West Hollywood, for Genetic Denim's one-year anniversary party/launch of their revamped collection (with Ali Fatourechi, Scott Sartiano and Shaun Hurley). Stars at the pants party included Lindsay Lohan, Miss Janet Jackson, Stavros Niarchos, Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx, Lil' Jon, Michelle Trachtenberg, "Girl Next Door" Elisha Cuthbert and "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis -- who was a bit confused as what party he was attending.

Then it was off to a grown up party at the Kodak Theater, just down the street from where crooner Tony Bennett was having yet another 80th birthday party. Stars included funnyman Billy Crystal, Warren Beatty and Bruce Willis.

All this and much more in Star Catcher!

She pulled up in a stretch limo and waited inside the car until security was prepared to open the doors to let her in the building. One member of security can be seen on the phone calling for someone to let them in, warning the paparazzi, "No one stops our feet, OK?!"

Britney emerged from the car wearing an extremely revealing collared shirt, and rushed passed photogs as they yelled, "Britney, you look gorgeous." We concur.

Photogs spotted Britney earlier in the week wearing a gazonga-revealing outfit. Splitting with K-Fed has done wonders for the girl(s).

The incredible shrinking reality-TV star was seen leaving an office building in Los Angeles today, and as she approached her Mercedes-Benz tank, the space-clearer yelled repeatedly at the lensman, "Get out of the way!" We're pretty sure the photographer heard the admonition the first time around.

Packin' Justin Timberlake and his heavily packed gal, Cameron Diaz, just returned from Paris -- toting enough baggage for fifty million Frenchmen!

We counted at least two Shrek-sized dollies overflowing with bags, which appear to belong to the star couple.

Funny, we prefer seeing them with less clothes.

That's right, both Nick and Ness were born on the same day, seven years apart. The two stepped out to celebrate Nick's 33rd and Ness' 26th, at Koi, the swanky sushi spot in West Hollywood.

They're both Scorpio, so they're both magnetic and passionate. In Chinese astrology, Nick was born in the Year of the Ox (solid and methodical) while Vanessa was born in the Year of the Monkey (charming and upbeat). We think these hot scorpions can work it out! Happy Birthday, you two!

Name calling aside, it's been a particularly bad week for the crappy rapper. First Ticketmaster started giving away tix to his concert in Chicago. Now comes word that his album, "Playing with Fire," fizzled on the Billboard charts; debuting at #151 with a pathetic 6,000 copies sold.

Dang. What a bad time to lose your day job!
