Logan Paul Fires Back at Flobots Stop Bashing My 'Handlebars' Remix
"I can ride your girl with no handlebars ... no handlebars, no handlebars."
Misogynistic lyrics?! Hell no ... so says Logan Paul, who's firing back at the Flobots after the band blasted his "Handlebars" remix as dumb and sexist.
BACKSTORY: Paul released "No Handlebars" back in November and it blew up -- more than 28 million views on YouTube. The whole song contains nonsensical lyrics about riding a chick like a bike.
Flobots founder Jonny 5 HATED the remix and blasted him in a response diss track -- claiming he disrespected the original version ... and clowned Logan by saying, "Looks like Donald Trump's kid has arrived."
He also called Logan young, dumb and attention-starved -- pretty aggressive stuff.
So, when we saw Logan at LAX, we had to ask what he thought of the Flobots diss -- and he had some shade of his own to throw ... playing the "Who are they?" card.
He also argued that he's not a misogynist -- he's just an artist trying to do creative things ... and doesn't really know what "riding your girl with no handlebars" really means.
Yeah, right ...

Prince Harry Grills Obama Aretha vs. Tina, LeBron vs. Jordan
Prince Harry did what American journalists have been itching to do for a year ... interview President Barack Obama post presidency.
Harry was guest hosting the "Today" radio show Wednesday and played his interview with Obama, part of which was a lightning round of pretty funny questions, including ...
-- Boxers or briefs
-- Harry or William
-- "Suits" or "The Good Wife"
-- The Rock or Chris Rock (again, interesting)
The interview was recorded in September during the Invictus Games when the 2 became buds.
Obama also talked about the dangers of a president hopping on social media ... he didn't mention Trump by name, but it was pretty obvious.
Harry also said his fiancee, Meghan Markle, had a great Xmas at Buckingham Palace with a family she never had.

Lewis Hamilton To Nephew BOYS DON'T WEAR PRINCESS DRESSES!!!
1:44 PM PT -- Lewis has apologized for his comment, saying he meant no harm and did not mean to offend anyone. He says he realizes it's wrong to marginalize or stereotype anyone, and asks for forgiveness in his lapse of judgment.
Yesterday I was playing around with my nephew and realised that my words were inappropriate so I removed the post. I meant no harm and did not mean to offend anyone at all. I love that my nephew feels free to express himself as we all should.
@LewisHamilton
Lewis Hamilton is in some serious hot water after posting a video in which he seems to shame a grade school-aged male family member for wearing a princess dress.
The video -- which has since been deleted from his social media -- shows Hamilton admonishing the kid, asking him if he asked for the dress for Christmas, then finally shouting at him.
"BOYS DON'T WEAR PRINCESS DRESSES."
The kid seems gleeful about his outfit, but Lewis is visibly disappointed and tells the camera (and his millions of social media followers) all about it.
Since posting the vid, Hamilton has been getting absolutely DESTROYED on Twitter (where the clip is still being circulated) with people accusing him of bullying and humiliating his nephew in front of the world.
We've reached out to Hamilton's reps for a response, so far nothing back.

L.A. Weather Guy Gets Winded Putting on Jacket
Los Angeles felt a lot like Chicago Wednesday night ... just ask this guy, who struggled like hell just to put on his jacket in the damn wind.
We spotted this pap outside WeHo hot spot Madeo, where he just could NOT, for the life of him, seem to put on his hoodie. He eventually got the W against Mother Nature ... but boy, was it a battle.
A fire weather watch went into effect Thursday -- with some forecasts reporting winds up to 30 mph and gusts up to 50 mph in certain areas. Now here's how it looks in your neck o' the woods!
Kidding. We don't do weather.

Sean Astin says if his mom, Patty Duke, were still alive today ... she'd be marching on Capitol Hill to demand answers why her name was fraudulently used to oppose net neutrality.
A little backstory -- Sean's bro, actor Mackenzie Astin, called out the FCC Thursday in a now viral tweet, asking why their mom's name was used in 3 separate comments in support of ending net neutrality more than a year after she died.
Hey, @AjitPaiFCC, today my mom would have turned 71. But she didn't. Because she died in March of 2016. Can you please take the time to explain to me how she made three separate comments in support of ending #NetNeutrality more than a year after she died?
@MackenzieAstin

So we got Sean at LAX Friday night and asked how he felt, and it's clear he's troubled by it ... and thinks the American public should be too.
As for what to do next, Sean says he's going to follow his brother's lead ... so the FCC better watch out.

Ex-Arizona Cop Who Killed Daniel Shaver Involved in Brutal Arrest
The former Arizona cop who was acquitted for the murder of Daniel Shaver had previously been investigated for body slamming a teenager during an arrest captured on video.
The footage shows Mesa police officer Philip Brailsford and other cops arresting 2 men at a gas station in 2015. While attempting to apprehend a group of teens for criminal damage to a store ... Brailsford put one of them in a headlock, spun him around and slammed him to the ground.
While the suspect was pinned down, Brailsford put him in cuffs. Two other officers used a similar tactic to take down another suspect who appeared to be resisting. The suspects were booked for criminal damage, aggravated assault, and resisting arrest.
According to police docs, obtained by TMZ, Brailsford and 3 other cops on the scene were investigated by Internal Affairs for using an "inappropriate amount of force." They were eventually cleared.
Brailsford was found not guilty of 2nd degree murder in the death of Shaver. Attorneys for Shaver's family called it an "execution" upon seeing the dramatic body cam footage of the shooting.
As we reported, Brailsford was a failed actor before he joined the police force.

California Wildfires Burned Highway Bunny Recovering
The burned bunny rescued from one of California's wildfires -- seen in a viral video -- is recovering well and could be released back into the wild soon. Take that, 2017 bad news!
The female cottontail suffered burns to both her ears and feet and was taken to the California Wildlife Center in Malibu after hopping into the flames of the Thomas fire ... which has scorched about 230,000 acres in Southern California.
She was rescued by 21-year-old Caleb Wadman, the dude seen wearing a red sweatshirt in that video, and although the move was super risky, some say the furball wouldn't have survived if he hadn't intervened.

Al Sharpton Feel Bad for Keaton But Tell His Mom to Cut Confederate BS
Rev. Al Sharpton says support for Keaton Jones should come with a big string attached ... now that it appears Keaton's mother has strong views about racism and the confederate flag.
Sharpton was outside NBC Studios in NYC when he told us the celebs who offered support, or even trips, to Keaton and his mom ... should demand Keaton teach his mother, Kimberly Jones, a thing or 2 about compassion.
The way Sharpton sees it, Kimberly wants the world to show her 11-year-old son sympathy for dealing with school bullies -- even though her confederate flag pics show support for slavery ... or as he puts it, "institutional state bullying."
To be clear, the civil rights leader isn't calling for celebs and non-celebs to abandon Keaton -- but he IS saying Keaton's mother needs to learn a lesson as much as the kids who bullied her son do.

Roy Moore's Wife We're Not Anti-Semites ... Some of Our Best Lawyers Are Jews
Roy Moore and his wife rolled out that old tried-and-true response to allegations they're anti-Semitic -- pointing out they employ Jews.
Kayla Moore was speaking at an event for her husband Monday night in Alabama, on the eve of the special Senate election, when she made the cringeworthy comment.

@NBCNews
Kayla said the "fake news" would have you believe they don't care for Jews, and she wanted to set the record straight once and for all. Not sure this shout-out to their legal team will get the job done, but here it is.
Kayla added some of their closest friends are Jewish, too. Seriously. That's almost word-for-word how she said it.
As the Moore's inner circle might say ... oy vey!

Keaton Jones GoFundMe Problems Account On Hold, $58k Left Hanging!!!
There's a big hiccup in online fundraising efforts for Keaton Jones -- one GoFundMe page has been shut down altogether, and another's on hold with nearly $60,000 unspoken for.
GoFundMe tells us the page labeled "Stand Up for Keaton," which was opened 2 days ago, is no longer accepting donations. Since Keaton's anti-bullying message went viral over the weekend, the page has pulled in $58,249 in donations ... however the guy who started it is putting the charity on hold. GoFundMe says it needs to contact Keaton's mom, Kimberly Jones, to ensure she's the beneficiary ... since the guy who started the page doesn't know her. So far, the company's been unable to reach her.
There was a second GoFundMe page, purportedly started by Kimberly herself which solicited money for Keaton's Christmas gifts. Sources close to the situation tell us that was immediately shut down by GoFundMe due to fraud concerns -- namely, whether it was really started by Kimberly.
Further complicating the fundraising are social media postings from the real Kimberly Jones. As we reported ... photos of her with the Confederate flag and comments about whining "butt hurt Americans" have sparked an online backlash.
The guy behind the "Stand Up for Keaton" page even reacted, saying, "THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE MOM!!" He added he doesn't know the Jones family, but just wanted to help a kid who's been bullied.

Bullied Tennessee Student Sobs Over Abuse at School
A Tennessee middle schooler has put a face on bullying that is resonating far and wide.
Keaton Jones sobbed as his mom shot cellphone video of the boy, who described how his classmates had abused him by, among other things, pouring milk on him.
Keaton tearfully asks,"Why do you find joy in taking innocent people and finding a way to be mean to 'em? It's not okay."
His mom wrote on her Facebook page, responding to the outpouring of support, "I'm humbled by the voice my boy has been given, but he's still just a little boy, and he's a little boy who desperately wants acceptance."
Lots of celebs have started to repost the video with kind messages ...
Master P Calling All Unknowns ... For 'I Got the Hook-Up' Sequel!
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 9 shares
Master P is going back to slangin' cell phones for the big screen -- but this time he wants a bunch of nobodys to join him.
P tells us he's working on the sequel to his 1998 movie, "I Got the Hook-Up" ... only now, he'll be looking to cast some unknown talent to star in it.
We're told P plans to reprise his role, except with all the technology updates since '98. It's also gonna star some big names, including his son, Romeo, who's co-producing the flick with his pops. Here's the catch ... P's hosting an open casting call on social media to find an unknown actor to fill a big role, plus smaller ones too.
P says he believes there's a lot of potential in social media standouts, and wants to give these folks their big break. And, of course, he wants any followers they can bring along.
One last thing -- the first 'Hook-Up' was distributed by Dimension, which is owned by Bob Weinstein. P says he hasn't decided on a distributor yet, but Dimension won't be 1 of 'em.

Al Franken Getting Handsy with Zendaya On a Billboard, Anyway
Al Franken's infamous groping photo briefly co-starred with Zendaya on a movie billboard ... in the name of art. Street art.
The cropped image of Franken reaching his hands out -- over Leeann Tweeden breasts in the original image -- showed up Thursday morning on an L.A. billboard for Zendaya's upcoming movie, "The Greatest Showman." You can see ... the end result was just creepy.
Street artist Sabo took credit for the job ... showing a before and after of his "art" on Twitter.
The billboard, just off the 405 freeway, was Franken-free again by 10:20 AM Thursday. We're sure Zendaya's glad to be flying solo again.

Chanel West Coast I Went Off on Security 'Cause Friends Stick Together!!!
Chanel West Coast is just too good a pal to leave her friends behind -- which is pretty much why she says she lost it on a security guard at a club this week.
We spoke to Chanel after her meltdown on a guard at Poppy in WeHo -- where she hurled harsh insults at the dude for bouncing her and her crew -- and she told us why she flipped.
She says the guy told her to ditch her posse and to bring just herself and her cutest friend -- and that was enough to set her off. The rest -- as you'll recall -- is history.
Chanel admits to hyping her rage for cameras, but she seems sincerely disgusted by the diss. Oh, and if you're wondering why she's in a tub ... music videos don't shoot themselves.

Drake looked like a Degrassi High student who got busted by a teacher when he was caught sneakin' a drink at Wednesday night's Raptors game.
Yeah, it was a soft drink -- very soft ... looks like Perrier, but Drizzy hammed it up for the camera as he sat courtside in Toronto. The vid's actually gone viral with the Internet wondering what kinda drink he was hiding.
After the game Drake tried his hand at sports reporting, interviewing Kyle Lowry. Someone tell the new guy he's gotta share the mic with the athlete!

Chanel West Coast Gets Denied at Poppy ... Totally Loses It On Security!!!
Chanel West Coast had an incredible meltdown on the security guard who bounced her and her crew from a club, and it's all on camera ... and absolutely EPIC.
We got Chanel and either 6, 7 or 8 of her "f****** hot girls" -- plus apl.de.ap from Black Eyed Peas -- trying to get into WeHo hot spot Poppy Monday night, but the door guy wasn't having it.
CWC didn't take kindly to the diss. She started cussing out the guy to his face, then marched into the streets to really make a scene ... while spewing stuff like, "You wish you could be a little white girl rapping, b***h!" You gotta see it, 'cause her string of insults was tremendous.
Oh, and don't call her pal Lil Pump ... Chanel doesn't like that either.
