Stormy Daniels 1,500 Tips Pour in for Suspect Sketch
Stormy Daniels' team has been flooded with tips on who her threatening mystery man might be less than 24 hours after she revealed the sketch, but she can't say she's that much closer to finding him.
Stormy's lawyer, Michael Avenatti, tells TMZ her legal team has received well over 1,500 tips on potential leads for ID'ing Stormy's alleged perpetrator. However, he says they've only deemed a couple hundred or so credible enough to pursue.
Avenatti wouldn't elaborate on what differentiated credible versus non-credible tips -- but we can take a guess. TONS of people took to Twitter Tuesday after Stormy revealed the sketch on "The View" to compare it to a bunch of celebs ... most notably, Tom Brady. Some even think it looks like Stormy's husband.
As for the legit leads ... Avenatti says Stormy's team has dedicated 40-60 man hours so far running them down. He says they have people on the ground in Vegas, CA and NY.
For the record ... law enforcement sources in Vegas tell us authorities there have not received any calls about the potential identity of Stormy's mystery man, and they're not investigating the matter.

Stormy Daniels This is the Guy Who Threatened Me To Back Off Trump
Stormy Daniels is now revealing a sketch artist's rendering of the mystery man who allegedly threatened her to back off Donald Trump.
The ex-porn star was on "The View" when she revealed the composite she and her attorney, Michael Avenatti, recently had done based on her memory of the 2011 incident. You'll recall she says the man approached her in 2011 and told her to "Leave Trump alone" and to "forget the story" ... or else.
Stormy told Anderson Cooper on "60 Minutes" that the threat came immediately after she'd spoken to In Touch magazine about her sex romp with Trump. She claims the man also threatened her then-infant daughter, saying ... "It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom."
As for the sketch itself, Stormy's memory is he was between 5'9" and 6' ... and "lean but 'fit.'" He also bares a striking resemblance to Tom Brady ... at least the sketch does.

The D.A. says there wasn't enough evidence to show she didn't consent to their sexual encounters.

Stormy Daniels Crashes Cohen's Court Hearing ... Troll Move of the Year
1:00 PM PT -- Sean Hannity just responded on his radio show, "The Sean Hannity Show," denying that Michael Cohen ever represented him. He also tweeted that he "assumed those conversations were confidential."
11:52 AM PT -- Cohen's lawyer just revealed in court FOX News host Sean Hannity is Cohen's previously unnamed client.
Stormy Daniels ripped a page right out of "The Godfather: Part II" as she showed up in court to stare down President Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
Cohen has a hearing Monday in New York to discuss how he feels federal prosecutors should handle documents seized by the FBI after a raid on his office and residence -- especially docs he claims would violate attorney-client privilege if improperly reviewed.
Trump's guy wants a judge to allow him and his team to review the seized docs first so they can single out paperwork they want protected from scrutiny. Trump's own team also reportedly filed docs asking to be allowed to review any seized evidence relating to the Prez.
Oh, and Cohen's asking to keep a third client of his anonymous -- his other 2, which he says received serious legal services, are Trump and GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy ... the latter of whom had Cohen pay a Playboy model $1.6 million after she claimed Broidy knocked her up.
As you might recall ... Cohen admitted to paying Stormy $130k ... which she says was intended to keep her quiet about an alleged affair she claims she had with Trump.
Needless to say, Stormy's presence was probably (most definitely) intended as huge troll move to get under Cohen's skin. Her attorney, Michael Avenatti, said she wasn't there to provoke ... but nobody's really buying that, right?

Stormy Daniels Trump has No Reason to Delay Lawsuit
Stormy Daniels has just filed legal docs responding to Donald Trump's request to put her lawsuit on ice.
Daniels' lawyer, Michael Avenatti, says the case should go full steam ahead for 3 reasons.
-- He says neither Trump nor Michael Cohen have submitted declarations explaining why going to trial would be unfair to them.
-- Avenatti says Cohen, who has suggested his 5th Amendment rights might be compromised, has made a number of statements since the FBI raid, so he can't be afraid of speaking out.
-- He says Trump is going after Stormy for $20 million, and it's unfair to make her live in limbo under those circumstances.

Azealia Banks Claims She was 'Lowkey' Raped ... On Since-Deleted IG Posts
Azealia Banks was breaking down and sobbing on her Instagram story Saturday night, claiming she'd been sexually assaulted ... and threatening to quit music over it.
In since-deleted Instagram videos posted to the NYC rapper's Story, Azealia can be heard crying over being "low key" raped by a man she claims pressured her into sex.
In the posts -- which were captured by a third party and posted online -- she starts off with a disclaimer saying she fells "like dirt." She also partially blames herself for the alleged rape, and goes on to threaten deleting her social media accounts until she's okay again.
Azealia was clearly affected by the incident -- the details of which are left ambiguous for now. She doesn't say where this happened, but presumably it occurred Saturday night. She also doesn't name the alleged perpetrator.
You never see her face ... only her voice, which at one point says someone "got the best of me." She eventually asks someone to come pick her up -- but the posts were later deleted off her account. She did, however, allude to roofies in later posts ... and added she was "good" from the night before and that her show on Sunday was still on.
It's unclear where she'll be performing tonight.

Sarah Silverman Real Reason Trump's Pissed About 'Golden Showers' ...
Sarah Silverman has her own theory on why she thinks President Trump is so worried about the golden showers dossier referenced in James Comey's new book ... and it's got nothing to do with Melania.
We got Sarah leaving Craig's Thursday night in WeHo and straight-up asked her why she thinks 45 was so upset over the so-called Christopher Steele dossier, which claims Trump watched prostitutes urinate on a hotel mattress "as a way of soiling the bed."
Comey wrote in his book claiming Trump ranted to him "if there's even a one percent chance my wife thinks that's true, that's terrible." Silverman thinks Trump was trying to cover up, but not because of Melania. Nyet!

Paige VanZant Reveals Horrific Gang Rape In High School
UFC star Paige VanZant says she was gang raped in high school by a bunch of boys who got her drunk and assaulted her when she couldn't defend herself.
The 24-year-old described the incident and the impact it had on her life in her new book, "Rise: Surviving the Fight of My Life."
"They move me around ... They change my position. I fail each time I try to resist, my limbs like wet cement on my body, my brain a heavy fog. I am awake and conscious, but my body feels dead."
"I know what is happening but can do nothing to stop it. I have no voice or choice but to submit and pray that it ends soon."
It's unclear if VanZant went to the police. We're trying to find out.
Paige says the bullying she experienced after the rape was unbearable -- and led to her changing her last name from Sletten to VanZant because the kids at school nicknamed her "Slutton." Her family ultimately moved from Oregon to Nevada to give her a fresh start.
PVZ told MMA Fighting she's sharing all this now because she wants to be an advocate for anti-bullying ... and help let others know they're not alone.

Michael Cohen FBI Raids Office of Trump's Attorney
4:00 PM -- The President calls the raid a "total witch hunt" and an "attack on what we all stand for."
President Trump's attorney was raided by the FBI Monday ... and the operation was put in motion by none other than Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
We've confirmed federal agents swooped into Michael Cohen's NYC office with a search warrant, and seized thousands of documents related to Mueller's Russia investigation. They also reportedly grabbed records of Cohen's $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels.
Cohen's attorney says the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York got the search warrant based on a referral from Mueller.
The seized docs include communications between Cohen and President Trump ... according to the NY Times, which first reported the raid.
Cohen's attorney called the raid heavy-handed because "It resulted in the unnecessary seizure of protected attorney client communications between a lawyer and his clients." He added, Cohen's been fully cooperative with Congress throughout the investigation, and has sat for depositions under oath.

Bill Cosby Topless Protester Charges ... Gets Slammed in Bush
9:34 AM PT -- The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office has charged Nicolle Rochelle with disorderly conduct. Rochelle is an actress and has history with Cosby -- she made several appearances on "The Cosby Show" in the early '90s.
Bill Cosby's courthouse entrance was nearly derailed by boobs -- a topless protester charged at him and had to be taken down by cops.
The woman was screaming "women's lives matter" when she ran right in front of Cosby Monday morning outside the Norristown, PA court. Cops immediately pounced on her and took her down in a bush. Cosby, who says he's now legally blind, looked puzzled during the commotion.
The protester's torso was covered with the names of Cosby accusers and her mantra, "women's lives matter." Gotta hand it to her ... even at the bottom of the bush, she kept on chanting.
Cosby continued into court where opening arguments are scheduled for his retrial for 3 counts of aggravated indecent assault.
Protesters commonly showed up at the court during Cosby's first trial ... which is probably why cops were so ready when the topless woman rushed at him.

We got Stormy's attorney at LAX Friday evening, who tells us although a lot of their case info has been disclosed ... it's only scratched the surface. So our guy asks about the ominous disc tweet from a couple weeks back ... and Avenatti suggests it's more than just a warning shot.

@MichaelAvenatti
Avenatti also says Trump's public denial Thursday of having knowledge about the $130k payment his lawyer, Michael Cohen, made to Stormy for their "hush" agreement only helps him in getting the POTUS to sit for a deposition.
As for the REALLY "private" matters between Stormy and Trump -- Avenatti says nothing's off the table if his client keeps getting portrayed as a liar.
Oh, dear.

Seth Green Zero Beef w/ Jamie Foxx After Sucking Katie's Toes!!!
Seth Green can breathe easy ... Jamie Foxx ain't licking his chops to deal Seth a beating for licking Katie Holmes' toes.
We got Seth at LAX on Thursday and asked him about his hilariously disturbing scene from his new flick, "Dear Dictator" ... in which he licks and sucks on Katie's toes. Seth plays her boss and in the scene he tells her his wife is basically boring in the bedroom.
We asked Seth if preparing for the scene required lots of alcohol -- NOT the kind you'd think -- and if there were many takes required. Sucking and licking toes can be ticklish ... from what we hear.
Ya gotta see Seth explain why there won't be any fallout with Jamie and where this character ranks among his list of classics. Also ... apologies to Seth if we made him miss his flight.
