Kim K and Bieber Bum Rushed by 12-Year-Old
Security literally had to dive into action to protect Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian during a fashion shoot in The Bahamas last week -- after a 12-year-old "rushed" the celebs on the beach.
Sources on the shoot tell TMZ security had to "dive" on the overzealous fan to keep the little girl away from the stars. We're told nobody was hurt and they eventually let the kid go.
It's unclear if the kid was trying to get to Kim or Justin -- but the duo was rollin' with heavy security that day because of previous threats to Kim from jealous Bieber-aholics.

'Mad Men' Star Car Crash The Plot Thickens
TMZ has learned January Jones' car accident is way more involved than we first heard ... and it may involve alcohol and even a special appearance by Bobby Flay.
As we first reported Jones was driving home last night when her car struck 3 parked vehicles. She left her license with a witness, walked a short distance to her home, called 911 and eventually returned to the scene. Jones told cops paparazzi were following her and that's why she crashed. Cops did not administer a field sobriety test -- we were told because there was no evidence of alcohol.
But now we're getting a more involved story. A woman who owns one of the cars that was hit tells TMZ ... she heard the crash, looked over her balcony and saw Jones. She says around 10 minutes after the crash, Food Network star Bobby Flay showed up in a separate car, began talking with her and telling her to leave the scene, which she did.
We spoke with Flay, who tells us he was watching the basketball game last night at The London West Hollywood Hotel with a group of people that included Jones. Flay says he saw her drink a beer but wasn't really watching her alcohol intake. Flay says he had only met Jones once before, and last night she asked for his number because she wanted to redo her kitchen and give his number to her designer. Flay obliged, and says he doesn't know why Jones chose to call him after the crash, but nonetheless he drove over to help her. He says he did not argue but just wanted to make sure she was ok.
The witness at the scene tells TMZ she was face-to-face with Jones and smelled alcohol on her breath. The witness says Jones left her driver's license with another resident and left. She returned 45 minutes later in a different set of clothes, chewing gum.
The witness says she asked cops if they were going to administer a field sobriety test, but a cop told her there was no point since she could have had a drink at home and there was no way of proving she was under the influence when she was behind the wheel. Cops confirm there is no way to pin drinking and driving on someone who leaves the scene and comes back.
As for being chased by the paparazzi ... none of the witnesses we spoke with saw any photogs at the scene, and no pictures have surfaced that show the scene immediately after the crash. The pics you see in this post were taken many hours later.
Jones' reps have not returned our calls.
UPDATE: An LAPD spokesperson just told TMZ ... Jones was being followed by two paparazzi and it was not a case of hit-and-run, adding "She wasn't under the influence of anything. No one got hurt. There is no investigation."

Chris Brown Blocked from UK Over Rihanna Incident
Chris Brown's violent past just caught up with him in the UK ... where he was just denied entry into the country.
Officials in Great Britain revealed they wouldn't let the singer cross the border because of his criminal record ... specifically the attack on Rihanna.
The move seriously screws up Brown's tour -- which had at least 3 scheduled stops in the UK.
Soon after the decision, Brown tweeted, "SORRY to all the fans in Europe!!! my tour is cancelled. Im pretty sure yall know. my entry was denied in your country. I love you. SORRY!!"
The tweet was later removed -- and his publicist later claimed the rejection was based on "issues surrounding his work visa."
Britain's Home Office also released a statement, saying, "We reserve the right to refuse entry to the UK to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offense."

Judge to Lindsay Lohan No Alcohol, No Drugs
Lindsay Lohan has been ordered to refrain from drinking or doing drugs ... and if she dares to try she could end up behind bars.
Judge Marsha Revel laid down the law during a hearing this AM in Beverly Hills court. Judge Revel told Lindsay in order to stay free on bail, she cannot drink alcohol, she must wear a SCRAM device and she must submit to random drug testing.
Lindsay must begin wearing the SCRAM bracelet within 24 hours.
Lindsay must also attend all scheduled alcohol ed classes at least once a week.
Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, began to object to the conditions, but when the judge said she would state out loud all the reasons why the conditions were appropriate -- Holley backed off and accepted the conditions.
Mind you ... the conditions the judge imposed must be met in order for Lindsay to remain free on bail. The judge is also scheduling a hearing to determine if Lindsay has violated her probation -- the date for the hearing is July 6.
If the judge decides Lindsay violated her probation by not attending her alcohol ed program as required ... she could be jailed for 180 days.

Tila Tequila to Enter 'Celebrity Rehab'
Tila Tequila is finally seeking professional help -- TMZ has confirmed through multiple sources that the bisexual reality star has committed to do the next season of VH1's "Celebrity Rehab" ... if it doesn't get canceled first.
It's unclear what personal demon Tila will try to conquer with the help of Dr. Drew -- but it certainly won't be her addiction to attention.
But there's one major catch -- as we previously reported -- VH1 is having problems finding other "celebrities" to rehabilitate ... and if they don't find a cast quick, the show could be killed.
So far, no word on who else the show has its sights set on.

Dr. Conrad Murray to the Rescue -- The Video
A bunch of you thought the whole mid-air medical emergency with Dr. Conrad Murray and a passenger was a publicity stunt. Well, we just got video that suggests it was the real deal.
Remember our story -- that the doc on trial for allegedly killing Michael Jackson was on a US Air flight when a female passenger passed out with a dangerously low pulse.
The photo below was taken during the emergency, and the video -- which shows the woman being wheeled off the plane with Dr. Murray in tow -- was shot after the plane made an emergency landing.
The passenger who shot the video tells TMZ after the woman passed out the flight attendants tried in vain to revive her ... and that's when one of them got on the P.A. and asked if a doctor was on board.
The passenger says Dr. Murray walked over to the woman -- and several flight attendants thought he was just a regular passenger trying to make his way to the bathroom. We're told the flight attendants asked Murray to return to his seat ... and that's when he revealed he was an MD.
We're told Dr. Murray elevated the woman's feet and found a weak pulse. He asked the passenger who shot the video to help him move the woman to the front of the plane, and that's where Murray inserted an IV (apparently standard issue for the flight crew) and the woman began responding.
The woman in distress -- Sharon Ross -- told TMZ when she came to, Dr. Murray said, "You probably know me ... I was Michael Jackson's doctor."

Bret Michaels Hospitalized for Heart Problems
Bret Michaels was rushed back to the hospital this week where doctors claim they found a "hole in the heart."
According to Bret's rep, the singer was complaining about "numbness on the left side of his body, predominately his face and hands."
After a series of tests, doctors concluded that Michaels had suffered a "Transient Ischemic Attack -- more commonly referred to as a "warning stroke."
During the tests, the doctors say they found that Bret had a Patent Forum Ovale -- which is essentially a hole in the heart.
Doctors say Bret's condition is "operable and treatable." The docs also don't believe the "warning stroke" is related to Bret's brain hemorrhage.
Bret will be treated with outpatient care -- which includes a daily injection of a blood thinner.
Bret's rep also notes that the singer is in "good spirits, great medical hands and is positive and hopeful that everything is going to be OK."
The rep concludes, "He is up, walking, talking, continuing his daily rehab and very happy to be alive but he has made it clear he is sick and tired of being in the hospital and is ready to rock again."

Sean Penn Cops Plea in Criminal Case
TMZ has learned ... Sean Penn -- who was charged with battery in connection with a paparazzi run-in last October -- has just copped a plea in his criminal case.
Penn -- who was charged with misdemeanor vandalism and battery by L.A. City Attorney Carmen Trutanich -- pled no contest this AM to one count of vandalism. The battery charge was dismissed.
Penn was placed on 36 months probation and ordered to perform 300 hours of community service. The judge said Penn's work for his Haitian relief organization will count toward his 300 hours, but his prior volunteer work won't count -- it's 300 hours going forward.
Penn was also ordered to perform 36 hours of anger management, which can be done through a private therapist.
If Penn successfully completes his probation his vandalism conviction will turn into a disturbing the peace conviction -- a lesser offense.
But there's more. Penn must stay 100 yards away from the victim. A restitution hearing over the pap's camera and medical bills is set for July 8.

Sandra Bullock Files for Divorce in Austin, Texas
TMZ has learned Sandra Bullock filed for divorce in Travis County Court in Austin, Texas ... and the reason it didn't surface until now is because Sandra turned it into a puzzle.
The case was filed under Sandra's initials -- backwards ... B.A.S.
Jesse James was also identified by his initials -- J.J.G. Jesse's middle name is Gregory.
The document was filed April 23.
As for grounds of divorce, the petition says, "The marriage between Petitioner and Respondent has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectations of reconciliation."
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, "There is no child under eighteen years of age or otherwise entitled to support who was born or adopted of this marriage and none is expected."
According to the docs, Sandra is a resident of Texas. Jesse "is of legal age and agrees to proceed in Austin, Travis County, Texas."
According to the petition, the parties were married in 2005 "and have ceased to live together as husband and wife."
As for the firm Sandra hired -- Chaffe McCall -- she's used the firm in the past to litigate a tax issue. A lawyer in the firm claimed a man who set up fraudulent tax shelters had given Bullock advice, after her dad saw an ad for tax shelters in an in-flight airline magazine.

Lindsay Lohan Dumped from Film
Lindsay Lohan was axed from a movie because she's not "bankable" -- this according a source connected with the production of the flick.
Lindsay was slated to star in "The Other Side," a movie about a grad student working on a deserted island.
David Michaels, the writer/director, tells TMZ, "Our team simply chose to move on from Lindsay and we'll soon be announcing a replacement."
But sources connected with the film tell us the people financing the film were skittish about relying on Lindsay.
The movie also stars Woody Harrelson, Giovanni Ribisi, Dave Matthews and Alanis Morissette.
And there's this twist ... at one point Brittany Murphy was attached to the movie.
Lindsay's rep had no comment.
BTW -- Lindsay was out at Chateau Marmont and Trousdale last night. Photo of her leaving below. Not too difficult to understand where Mr. Michaels was coming from.
