Here's what we know: Snoop Lion smells a skunk -- and not the ooh weee kind he normally likes. No, this time the offending odor belongs to one of the paps greeting him at the airport.

We put our best bloodhounds on the case ... to spot the funky culprit.

Chris Brown just learned that ole saying -- mess with Miss Russian L.A. ... get charged with hit-and-run. Or something like that.

Anyway, CB's screwed after a fender bender with the chick.

We totally scoffed at Miley Cyrus when she claimed the top spot on the Maxim Hot 100 list -- and now we're making a formal retraction ... because she's twerked herself to everyone else's top spot too.

The first photos of Kim Kardashian's baby North West could fetch a couple million bucks -- which might explain why she devised a genius plan to release photos of a decoy baby ...

OR DID SHE???

Aaron Carter says he got his butt kicked because of a New Kids on the Block turf war -- which is just too ridiculous to be true!

Or maybe too ridiculous to be made up?

Nik Wallenda pulled of his death-defying tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon without a safety net -- unless you count Jesus Christ ... which Nik clearly does ... several dozen times!

Can he get an AMEN?!!

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West don't have to worry about anyone getting video or pics of their baby girl -- 'cause it looks like most people can't find North West with a freakin' compass.

Or maybe that's just us.

Tanning Mom's attempted sexy beach romp had some people at TMZ -- who will NOT remain anonymous -- proclaiming her bangable!

And don't get us started on "Backdoor Teen Mom" Farrah Abraham's new boobs.

James Gandolfini wasn't just a great actor, he was an awesome guy ... often when our cameras were rolling. So, we put together our coolest moments with "The Sopranos" star -- topped off with a kickass eulogy from Michelle Rodriguez.

Bada bing, boss ... Bada bing.

Selena Gomez has the best problems in the world -- her brand new luxury automobile is so fancy ... she can't figure out how to get gas in it.

But you gotta see who helped her stick it in ... the gas tank.

Miley Cyrus' new "We Can't Stop" music video features twerking, girl-on-girl, girl-on-doll, furries -- y'know standard freak show stuff ... and the official death knell for her old Disney persona.

Oh, and it's also ... awesome!

Taylor Lautner doesn't need no stinking stunt man -- the shredded "Twilight" star can do it all himself ... including running up a tree trunk into a sick backflip. You gotta see it!

Oh, and for the 'Team Edward' dorks ... there's also a total fail on one stunt.

Mariah Carey is either a 6 or a 10 on the hot scale depending on which photo you're looking at from her Italian vacation. Not that we're complaining about bikini pics.

Grazie, Mimi!

Carrie Fisher treated the Daytime Emmy Awards like an AA meeting at a comedy club -- cracking drug jokes about Ozzy Osbourne ... and nearly making us forget the slew of blunders and miscues during the show.

We're looking at you George "NCAA" Lucas!

Miss Utah Marissa Powell put on a clinic at the Miss USA pageant Sunday night -- but did she snatch the bumbling-stumbling crown from former Miss South Carolina Teen USA?

Time for a dumb-off ... enjoy!

Charlie Sheen could be the next in line to have Farrah Abraham's back door hit him on the front side -- at least judging by the flirty way these two are texting each other.
