Tara Reid In 'Sharknado' S**tstorm

Published | Updated

Tara Reid is coming back -- kinda sorta -- for the "Sharknado" sequel, according to producers, but it's not what they privately said less than a week ago ... TMZ has learned.

The honchos who made the shark flick had a big reaction to TMZ's story over the weekend, that Tara Reid won't be invited back for round 2. A rep for Asylum -- the production company -- tweeted, "@Tara Reid is awesome ... We'd be lucky to have her back for the sequel."

But we know there was a meeting last Wednesday in which Asylum exec David Latt talked about the sequel and zeroed in on the return of Ian Ziering -- and that's it. There's no script ... it's all conceptual, but the talk was all about Ian -- and NOT Tara. We're told the clear message was that she was out.

Latt now says if Tara doesn't do the flick it's because she's turned THEM down since the film has opened so many doors for her.

Don't get us wrong ... we really like Tara, and think she'd be fun in part 2.

Fin.

Miley Cyrus POSES NUDE ... Covers Junk

Published | Updated

It was only a matter of time -- Miley Cyrus went FULL NAKED for an artsy photo shoot ... but sorry pervs, it ain't exactly a Penthouse spread.

20-year-old Miley stripped down to her birthday suit for a Marc Jacobs t-shirt -- which is part of the designer's "Protect the Skin You're In" campaign to raise awareness for melanoma research.

Of course, the slogan is carefully placed over Miley's chest to cover her nipples ... and she uses her hand to hide her hooha. You can breathe easy, Billy Ray ...

Miley posted the image on her Twitter page -- along with the caption, "Ts are available at 9 Marc Jacobs boutiques including SanFran, LA, Chicago, New York, Boston, & Savannah GA!"

The shirts cost money ... but your imagination is free.

Jeff Daniels I Hit a Friggin' HOLE IN ONE!

Published | Updated

Jeff Daniels can die a happy man ... 'cause the "Newsroom" star smacked himself a HOLE IN ONE yesterday -- and, of course, he took photos to prove it.

Daniels was playing at the Polo Fields Golf Country Club in Ann Arbor, Michigan ... when he scored his numero uno -- and detailed the shot on Twitter:

"133yds. 8 iron into a stiff wind. Power Draw. No roll up and trickle in; a slam dunk. Two witnesses. #9."

Of course, Daniels was expected to follow the ultimate golf commandment after hitting a hole in 1 -- he's OBLIGATED to buy drinks for everyone in the clubhouse.

Don't worry ... he can afford it.

Aaron Rodgers LOSES Bet Probably Won't Pay Up ... Again

Published | Updated

Aaron Rodgers -- NFL star and habitual bet weaseler-outer -- has LOST another major wager after famously betting his salary that Ryan Braun was PED-free ... but he probably won't pay up, 'cause that would be wayyyyyy out of character.

You may remember back in February, the Green Bay QB went to Twitter to defend his friend Braun against widespread allegations the Milwaukee Brewers outfielder was juicing.

One fan challenged Rodgers, saying, “you really believe he (Braun) didn’t you (sic) PED’s???”
And Rodgers responded: “ya, I’d put my salary next year on it.”

Well, now that Braun's basically copped to doping ... Rodgers is officially a LOSER ... and should have to pay the guy his 2013 salary -- $4.5 MILLION.

But as we all know, Rodgers has a history of not paying off his bets -- starting with the wager he made with Boyz II Men back in 2012 ... that the Pack would beat the 9ers in the season opener.

The Pack lost that game ... and Rodgers was supposed to wear a 49ers jersey. But he chickened out ... cause he's a great big, feathery CHICKEN.

So, just to recap .... Aaron Rodgers is 0 for 2 when it comes to paying up ... or to put it in language he would understand, "cluck cluck cluck cluck."

Kris Jenner FAKE BABY ON TALK SHOW!

Published | Updated

Kris Jenner pulled out the big guns for her talk show premiere -- 'cause Kim Kardashian's baby North West will make its debut ... is what she wants you to believe -- BUT TMZ KNOWS IT'S NOT!

Kris' show posted a photo on Twitter and Facebook ... of herself cuddling an infant, with the message ... "You never know who will stop by our show today #WatchKris".

This would be the first public shot of North since her birth -- but we smelled a rat. And guess what? After some digging we found out the baby is owned by a hair and makeup person on the set.

Kanye West and Kim have been pretty clear about NOT wanting their baby in the spotlight.

'Sharknado' Derek Hough Refused to Watch Because He Hates Awesome Things

Published | Updated

It might have been the greatest television event of the year ... SHARKS climbing ropes, swimming down the 405, attacking helicopters and chasing Tara Reid up a flight of stairs ... but Derek Hough says he REFUSED to watch "Sharknado" last night.

Clearly, Hough was too closed-minded to see all of the awesomeness the made-for-SyFy movie had in store ... seriously, we counted 5 shark vs. man fatalities in the first 4 minutes.

In case you missed it ... the movie TOOK OVER Twitter last night ... with people begging for a sequel before the movie even ended.

Perhaps, "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof said it best ... writing, "I know it's only been 12 hours, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to talk about anything non-Sharknado-related again."

People have already begun coming up with titles for the next installment ... here's a few we've thought up:

-- Psy-Clone: It's Raining South Korean Pop Stars
-- LouNami: Lou Rawls comes back to life to wreak havoc on the South Pacific
-- Heavy Rainn: Acid rain from a cloud that looks like Rainn Wilson melts San Diego

Justin Bieber Calls Bill Clinton Sorry About the F-Bomb

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber reached out to Bill Clinton to apologize for desecrating a photo of the ex-prez and yelling, "F**k Bill Clinton."

Hours after TMZ posted the video of Bieber pissing in a restaurant mop bucket, and spraying cleaner on a photo of Bill -- Justin tweeted Clinton ... "thanks for taking the time to talk Mr. President. Your words meant a lot. #greatguy"


According to Extra, Bieber also called Clinton ... who advised Justin to be careful who he hangs out with -- and then accepted his apology.

No word if Bieber apologized to the restaurant, or the janitor, or the kitchen staff ... or his dignity.

Charlie Sheen Gone Fishin' for Loch Ness Monster!

Published | Updated

Charlie Sheen fueled up his private jet for a 24-hour mission to accomplish what no one else has been able to for the last 80 years ... find the Loch Ness Monster.

Charlie flew to Scotland last week -- and sources close to the Warlock tell us it was literally a last minute call ... like most of his decisions.

We're told Sheen brought along his two pals -- ex-baseball star Todd Zeile and longtime stand-in Brian Pekk (below) ... and a sweet helmet for the adventure -- which included renting out a Loch-side castle.

Now, here's the awesome Sheen twist ... we're told Charlie and co. rented a boat and headed out to search for Nessie -- armed only with a bottle of scotch!

Very scientific.

Shockingly, the group came up empty and got the hell outta Scotland the very next day ... flying back to L.A. without even a blurry, out-of-focus glimpse of the monster.

Damn. Sheen and Nessie -- the party could've been historic prehistoric, dude.

Anthony Bourdain BURNS Justin Bieber Chef Shoulda Put His Foot Up JB's Ass

Published | Updated

Chef Anthony Bourdain doesn't take kindly to "young punks" who piss in restaurant kitchens ... so he went to Twitter and UNLOADED on Justin Bieber.

After TMZ posted the footage of JB relieving himself in a janitor's bucket in an NYC restaurant kitchen, Bourdain tweeted -- "The chef should have put his foot up this young punk’s ass."

The CNN star continued, "My dishwasher ain’t cleaning that up, squirrel balls!"

There's more ... "Looking forward to seeing him open for Menudo at the State Fair— in about ten years."

And just for good measure: "In a preemptive strike, I plan to tell my daughter that Justin Beiber tortures puppies."

Our compliments to the chef.

Kanye West DISTRAUGHT Over Leaked Music Video

Published | Updated

Kanye West is PISSSSSSSSED that his new music video leaked before it was finalized -- and now he's gone public asking for anyone who published it to please please PLEASE take it down.

In case you didn't know, a very rough cut of the video for Kanye's new track "Black Skinhead" leaked online today and it's been spreading like wildfire -- but Yeezy insists it got out before it was ready ... and the leak is sabotaging the final product.

If you've seen the early cut ... you can understand what Kanye's talking about. It's very rough around the edges ... too dark, the CGI is glitchy, you can't see Kanye's face ... it obviously needs some final touches.

Now Kanye is on Twitter asking for help taking the rough edit off the web -- saying, "Me and Nick Knight have been working on this video for 5 months and for creatives it's heartbreaking when something like this happens."

Kanye says the final video will be ready in a week or so -- adding, "To whoever leaked the video ... F*** YOU!"

Snooki & Pauly D Some Nazi A-Hole Gave Out Our Cell Phone #s

Published | Updated

Snooki and Pauly D were forced to change their cell phone numbers yesterday ... after some swastika-loving Nazi jerkwad hacked into JWoww's Twitter account and gave out their digits to all of her followers, TMZ has learned.

Here's what we know ... the Anti-Semitic mystery hacker took over JWoww's page on Sunday night -- changed her Twitter avatar to a swastika -- and then gave out several private numbers to all of JWoww's 3.3 MILLION followers.

Among the released numbers -- Snooki, Pauly D, Deena and Perez Hilton.

We're told the Snooks, Pauly and Deena have already changed their numbers in the wake of the hack -- we're guessing Perez probably followed suit.

JWoww has since regained control of her Twitter page -- and got rid of the Nazi symbol. The identity of the hacker is still unknown.

Jay-Z I'm a CEREAL Killer

Published | Updated

Jay-Z has finally revealed a secret he's been keeping for decades ... HE LOVES CAPTAIN CRUNCH ... but only with crunch berries (duh).

Jay went on a tweet-a-thon today ... answering all sorts of fan questions, when one guy asked if he had a favorite cereal.

Hova replied, "cap'n crunch growing up. I haven't had cereal in a bit #factsonly]" ... adding, "crunch berries tho."

Poor Franken Berry ...

Other things we learned ... Jay thinks his new album is good, but not his best work -- in fact, he says "it can fight for 4th [best album]" behind Reasonable Doubt, Blue Print Vol.1 and The Black Album.

He was also asked if he still has 99 problems "or have they all been sorted?" Jay's reply -- #newrules new problems."

When asked if he owns a Picasso, Jay joked back ... "no..my birthday is DEC 4 though."

Hope his pal Warren Buffet was paying attention ... he's about the only guy who can afford that kind of a gift.

'Biggest Loser' Star Sued By Fitness Company You Can't Get Fat Again!!!

Published | Updated

As if re-gaining a bunch of weight wasn't bad enough, former "Biggest Loser" star Tara Costa is now being SUED for porking up again ... and it could cost her a lot of money, TMZ has learned.

FC Online Marketing -- which owns ILoveKickboxing.com -- has filed a lawsuit against Costa claiming it entered into a fitness promotional agreement with the reality star ... but she didn't hold up her end of the bargain.

The deal breaker ... FCOM says Costa -- who famously lost 155 POUNDS on "The Biggest Loser: Couples 2" back in 2009 -- had re-gained "far too much weight" in 2011 to represent the brand in photo shoots and public appearances.

FCOM says it paid Costa's foundation $45,000 in exchange for her image and likeness ... but since she got fat again, her image has lost all value to the company.

FCOM is now suing Costa for breaching the don't-get-fat agreement, demanding unspecified damages.

For what it's worth ... from Costa's recent Twitter pics, it appears she's back down to her fighting weight (or close to it) but FCOM insists the damage is already done. Attempts to reach Costa were not successful.

Rihanna wasn't thrilled with the attention -- actually, she was pretty pissed ... tweeting, "Tried to have a beach day, that was a fail!!"
