Roy Scheider: Smile, You SOB
The man responsible for killing "Jaws," Roy Scheider, was outside of Mr. Chow yesterday when a fan asked him to sign a photo of himself with Roy -- from 1980!
The fan, a serial celebrity snapshooter name Yehya -- also seen hounding Cuba Gooding, Jr. earlier in the day -- presented Scheider with the nearly 30-year-old photo of the twosome taken in Cannes.
While Roy's signin' the shot, Yehya gets a little too up close and personal -- asking Roy if he's sold his house here in Los Angeles. If Roy hasn't, he may want to!

Save Hayden from the Hancock Hounds!
Hayden Panettiere, as video evidence suggests, is just about the nicest 18-year-old ever, but New York is really testing her limits.
Just a day after she dropped an F-bomb on paps for causing a crazy crush, Hayden did her heroic best to keep autograph seekers at bay on her way out of town at JFK airport. One particular pest had her sign what seemed like an entire stack of snaps, only to persist as she tried to make her way to the gate.
Her only force field, in the end, was the fancy-people's check-in lounge, where the autographerazzi couldn't touch her.

Nick Cannon -- Homeless More Talented Than Britney
"Monster House" mouther Nick Cannon was outside of Les Deux last night, when a homeless man named Champagne put lip syncher Britney Spears in her place. It's Champagne, bitch!
After the "Underclassman" actor was serenaded, he gave the lower class man props, saying, "This guy's got more talent than Britney Spears!" The persistent pauper wouldn't let Cannon go without him shelling out some dough -- and ended up pocketing twenty bucks for his hard work. Cha-ching!

Jenny to Fan: You're a BS Artist
Don't BS Jenny McCarthy -- she can smell it from a mile away.
The former Playmate was truckin' through JFK airport yesterday, when a self-proclaimed "huge fan" begged for a photo with the foxy female. But Jenny saw right through the rubbish and called him out on it, asking, "What's the name of the book I just put out?"
Dude answered with, "Uhhhh," which, as any real Jenny fan knows, is not the correct title. It's actually called "Louder Than Words: A Mother's Journey in Healing Autism."
She's blond, but she's not stupid.

Brit's Kids Hold on for Dear Life
Britney Spears cruised around Santa Monica last night -- with Sean P. and Jayden James gripping each other in the backseat as their popwreck mom got lost ... in a parking lot.
Cameras caught the fam -- and Brit's new friend (assistant?) -- getting confused in a back alley parking lot, as Spears almost hit yet another parked car while she weaved through paparazzi. Spears then drove onto a one-way street and blocked traffic.
Last Friday, Britney was charged with Brit and run and driving without a valid driver's license -- and it's still unclear whether Brit is legally OK to drive.

Tim Robbins Sticks It to Little Kids
At almost 6'5", Tim Robbins towers over his peers in Hollywood, and he decided to use that vertical advantage against some actual little people -- kids -- on the street hockey field yesterday in NYC. Make way for mighty ducklings!
Demonstrating a little more vivacity than Mario Batali did recently at the same park in the West Village, Robbins played a little back line with the urchins, stopping a couple shots, and providing some slo mo defense.

Hayden Drops F-Bomb in Pap Crush!
Hayden Panettiere's impromptu autograph session outside of "Regis & Kelly" this morning turned so crazy, she resorted to cursing to get the paps to back off. Save the profanity, save the world!
The photogs and autograph seekers around Hayden got so close to the "Heroes" star, they almost crushed a little girl. So Hayden belted out, "Guys! You're f**kin'..." before cutting herself off.
The crowd backed off, and Hayden asked the little girl, "Are you okay?" several times before leaving. You can see Hayden (minus the cussing) on the tonight's season premiere of "Heroes."

Foxx Has No Juice for O.J.
Jamie Foxx continued his perplexing habit of rolling to the most paparazzi-infested spots in Hollywood, then acting as though cameras were completely absent. That's Oscar worthy!
TMZ caught Foxx after an evening repast at Mr. Chow, and asked him about the O.J. Simpson situation. One of his responses we can't print, and then he disappeared.
Given his generally wordless response technique, we're wondering if he might not be prepping for the inevitable Marcel Marceau biopic.

Pole Dancing for Nick Carter
Nick Carter got the girls all pumped up this weekend -- and had them workin' the stripper poles as he performed. I want it that way!
A Backstreet Boy-less Carter held a solo gig at Shark's Cove in Hermosa Beach Saturday night, where Carter rocked the mic by performing covers ranging from '80s rock to a rap song. Eat your heart out Vanilla Ice! While his rapping skills are certainly questionable, he had the girls goin' wild -- with one girl in the audience working the pole as he sang a ballad.
Carter also gave a quick dis to Britney Spears, telling TMZ, "If I was dating Britney, you'd know," he said. "I don't want no baby mama drama."

Aries Spears -- Denied Celebrity Status
Comedian Aries Spears was on "Mad TV" and had his own special on Comedy Central -- but that still won't get him into Hyde. Isn't that the same place this guy gets into?
Aries approached the door saying, "You come here to test your celebrity status ... I don't know if they let thousandaires in here."
After a chat with the doorman, Spears was quickly denied.

Deep Convo with Garofalo
The ever-cheerful and heavily tatted Janeane Garofalo was spotted on trendy Robertson Blvd. yesterday, and stopped to give TMZ a lengthy dissertation on a few things; walking in L.A., the merits of Beverly Center, the United Arab Emirates, and underarm sweat. She's very well-versed.
Her engaging and, er, profound commentary has to be seen to be believed ... if not understood.
Garrulous Garofalo went on to talk about important subjects in the geopolitical scene, but the dialog was too lengthy to fit here, so TMZ put a little twist on it to make it go faster.
Not to Worry -- Shemar Moore is Here to Stay
Soap star and occasional nudist, Shemar Moore, was out in soggy L.A. last night, and he took the opportunity to get a few things off his muscled chest.
When miffed Moore learned that TMZ was filming, he got defensive with the odd, contradictory statement, "Y'all made me famous. Y'all tried to ruin me." Say what?!
One would think the whiner actor getting exposure on "The Young and the Restless" would make him (semi) famous -- and posting this, this, and this ... well that's just reporting the facts.
Shemar finished his rant by saying. "I'm me, I'm here to motherf***in' stay." All can rest easy.
Brooke -- Graziano is "Waking Up"
On the streets of New York today, Brooke Hogan gave TMZ a brief but inconclusive update on the medical status of John Graziano, the ex-Marine who has been in a coma since being injured in the Supra driven by her brother Nick.
"John is waking up," Brooke informed us. "He's doing good, really good. Just keep praying." Her assessment comes just a few days after bro Nick wrote on an Internet bulletin board, "john is expected to make a full recovery its just a slow process for him to wake up." (sic)
What we didn't find out from Brooke is whether she found those big shoes she was looking for last time she was in the Big Apple.

Hyde Gets Downgraded
He didn't get into Hyde, but "Big Brother" reject "Zach" may not be missing out on much -- at least according to Lindsay Lohan's pal, Samantha Ronson.
TMZ caught the DJ at Chateau Marmont last night, where she told our cameras that workin' at Hyde was "not as fun as it used to be."
Of course, wild child and frenemy LiLo isn't around either. Coincidence?
