Bai: It's Not Chicken, It's Tiger

Published | Updated

The insane dancing skills of Bai Ling have always been a TMZ favorite -- but the wacktress isn't exactly happy with our coverage.

In this hilarious video shot outside of Koi last night, Bai approached our cameraman, showed off some new Elaine-inspired moves and tried to come up with a new name for her dance -- to replace "The Crazy Chicken."

Bai's suggestions included "Most Sexy, Sexy Dance" and "Leopard" -- because that's what she was in a previous life.

Bai Ling For Hire?

Published | Updated

TMZ's favorite wacktress was the impromptu reporter for the site last night, as Bai Ling showed off her journalism skills by interviewing Emmy winner Jaime Pressly.

Bai Ling for Hire?

Unsolicited, Ling decided to press Pressly with some hard-hitting TMZ-style questions outside Nicky Hilton's fashion show, asking Jaime about Britney Spears and her own plans for Halloween. My Name is Awk-weird!

Bai can always work freelance for us ... if she can fit TMZ in her busy filming, "Nipple"-writing and chicken dancing schedule.

Bai Ling Promotes New Book On Her Knees!

Published | Updated

TMZ cameras caught up with wild child Bai Ling on Friday night outside of Hyde, where she thought of a new way to promote her new book, "Nipples" -- by advertising on her banged-up knees! The crazy chicken dancer applied a Band-Aid to each knee; one with the words, "My Book" and the other, "Nipples."

What a clever marketing strategy! But she should have applied some Neosporin to the rest of those scrapes and cuts! Chicken dancing has its hazards! Nurse!

Trump vs. Cuban Turns Nerdy

The never-ending battle of words between boisterous billionaires Donald Trump and Mark Cuban has shifted from the topic of Dan Rather to Internet spam. Ooooh, burn!

Tyra Gets Frenched

Published | Updated

Tyra Banks and "America's Next Top Model" are the latest targets of the hilarious comedy of "Ab-Fab's" Saunders and French. They've adapted Miss Banks, given her 18-foot legs and a bit of an English accent.

Apparently, our friends across the pond are just as obsessed as we are with the trials and tribulations of struggling models.

It's hard to be pretty!

Adrianne Curry: Another Fine Mess

Published | Updated

Usually, when Adrianne Curry blogs, it just makes her look like a crazy woman. Maybe it's just showing her in true form, but her latest dispatch makes her look a little like Strom Thurmond with fake boobs. America's Next Top Race-Baiter!

The first "America's Next Top Model" initially wrote on her MySpace blog that she's boycotting Black History Month and the BET network, and that while the history of slavery of African-Americans "does suck some major balls," she's imploring them to "move the f**k on."

Cuban: No Hip, No Problem!

Published | Updated

While several "Dancing With the Stars" contestants are limited in one way or another (Mel B. just had a baby, Wayne Newton has been stretched to the limit for some time), it's doubtful any of them have endured what Mark Cuban has.

The outspoken Dallas Mavericks owner had his hip replaced less than seven weeks before he started practicing for "Dancing With the Stars." Ay caramba!

But it's not all bad news for Cuban -- turns out that before he was mega-rich, he gave disco lessons at sorority houses for $25 an hour -- bet the benefits were spectacular!

Bai Ling Lag Hag

Published | Updated

Five days ago, Bai Ling returned to L.A. from China -- but is still suffering from jet lag!

Bai Ling -- Lag Hag

Ling, who wasted no time hitting the clubs after her triumphant return to Hollywood, complained to TMZ's camera last night at Mr. Chow that she was "jet lagged" and "spaced out." How can ya tell?

Ling also gave a heartfelt shout out to Britney Spears and showed off her cut-up and bandaged legs (some kind of filming mishap) before heading back to her spaceship for the night.

Kattan Paris or Britney?

Published | Updated

After a weekend of rain in L.A., celebrities were hard to find -- but TMZ caught up with former SNLer Chris Kattan on Robertson Blvd. yesterday ... and boy did he have a lot to say.

The star chatted up our camera guy on his way to the Ivy, doing some one man comedy about O.J. Simpson's fashion choices, picking who he'd rather -- Paris or Britney -- and even asking if we'd be available to film any upcoming car crashes in which he might find himself.

Kattan then wished us a "Happy Jewish holiday" and scampered off.

Bai Ling Lost in Translation

Published | Updated

Bai Ling has lived in this country for 16 years -- so it's about time she contributed a new word into the English dictionary.

After filling Ling in on the Juice's legal issues last night in front of Koi, Bai tried to tell us that O.J. needs some new hobbies -- "I hope somebody have more interesting thing to do than just robbering and kidnapping."

Robbering! Try working that one into conversation today.

Vida's Meter Maid: Fired?

Published | Updated

The West Hollywood meter maid who seemingly tried to trade nude photos of Vida Guerra in exchange for leniency on a ticket has apparently been relieved of his duties.

TMZ spoke to several on-duty Parking Enforcement Officers, who all agreed that L. Salgado had been "fired" from his ticket writin' job.

An official from the West Hollywood traffic division would neither confirm nor deny that he had been canned, but did tell us, "We took the appropriate action."

Vida's Meter Maid Gets Spanked

Published | Updated

TMZ has learned that the "meter maid" who asked for a naked photo of bikini model Vida Guerra in return for leniency on her parking ticket has been officially suspended. Not so lovely!

According to Parking Enforcement Manager Eric Ruiz, officer L. Salgado will not be patrolling the sidewalks while the City conducts an official investigation into the incident. Furthermore, buzz inside the station is that Salgado, who is said to be 18 or 19-years-old, will be fired.

TMZ caught the whole thing on tape over the weekend, showing that after ticketing Guerra, Salgado was heard telling Vida's friend, "You got a naked picture of her, we make the price stay right."

That's the ticket!

Ling Can't Sing

Published | Updated

Just because Bai Ling can do it all, doesn't mean she should.

Ling Can't Sing

Cameras spotted the always entertaining wacktress outside of club Play last night, where she was "nice" enough to give TMZ a preview of her new song. That's right, Bai Ling is now a quadruple threat; actress, author, singer and chicken dancer extraordinaire.

Her singing is comparable to a breathier Paris Hilton and a warbling Gollum. Bai Ling sang along with her track as she pumped it from her car stereo -- forgetting some of the words to her own tune! Be warned, this singing excerpt is not for the faint of heart ... or anyone else for that matter.

Sarah Jessica Parker Looks Like a Dog

Covet may be the name of her new perfume, but all Sarah Jessica Parker wants is Dog hair! Arf!

The 42-year-old "Sex and the City" star turned up at the launch of her new fragrance in New York, tressed-out in Duane "Dog" Chapman's white man's mullet! For the love of Carrie Bradshaw!

The Dog, 53, also happened to be in the Big Apple yesterday -- shilling his new book, "You Can Run But You Can't Hide." After this latest hairtastrophe, SJP may want to give her hair stylist the same advice!
