A racist posterboard featuring images of LeBron James and monkeys was somehow put on display at a school art exhibition over the weekend ... and officials are now investigating how in the world the offensive piece was allowed to make it there.

The good vibes didn't last long though, as Jaden took a tumble mid-chat! Check it out ... he falls to the side after picking up speed.

Bill Maher says he's ready to drop the mic and walk away from stand-up comedy for good -- and it's because he says he wants to pursue other ventures ... including more podcasting.

The 'Real Time' host was recently chopping it up with Jerry Seinfeld on his 'Club Random' podcast -- and they started discussing the possibility of Bill hanging it up on the stage ... namely, him giving up telling jokes in front of a crowd under a spotlight.

Snoop Dogg and T-Pain are doing their part to keep the peace on the Vegas Strip by giving throngs of pissed-off fans something to cheer about after the "Lovers & Friends" festival was canceled last minute.

Madonna se despidió a lo grande. La cantante cerró su gira mundial en Brasil con más de un millón de personas en la arena.

Según los informes, 1.6 millones de amantes de Madonna acudieron al concierto gratuito en la famosa playa de Copacabana de Río de Janeiro, y fue un espectáculo total. En un momento dado, la multitud se sincronizó lo suficiente como para cantar "Like A Virgin".
