Sly Stallone showed up at an L.A. courthouse today for jury duty ... and almost immediately got pissed off at the candy machine -- throw the book at that contraption!

Rambo was escorted into the jury room by six -- count them, six -- deputies and an assistant, who filled out all of Sly's paperwork.

Stallone then retreated to the vending machine, apparently in search of a particular type of candy. When it wasn't there, Sly said, "Oh s**t," and then went to another machine and got Skittles.

He was pacing up and down in the jury assembly room. One prospective juror says Sly was "disruptive," speaking loudly as he paced back and forth. At one point, Sly screamed, "Oh f**k." The prospective juror says it looked as if Sly got a Skittle stuck in his teeth.

Gloria Allred 1, TSA 0!

The Transportation Security Administration has officially changed their screening process regarding nipple rings.

Today they acknowledged that they may have gone too far by having a woman remove her nipple rings during a stop at airport security clearance in Lubbock, TX.

The TSA posted the following statement on their website: "TSA acknowledges that our procedures caused difficulty for the passenger involved and regrets the situation in which she found herself. We appreciate her raising awareness on this issue and we are changing the procedures to ensure that this does not happen again."

City officials met with some WWE suits to figure out how to keep the wrestling poster from looking "too provocative." The outcome - the WWE slammed, er, airbrushed the nipples into oblivion. Billboard malfunction!

With matching Manic Panic shag 'dos, prerequisite his and hers rocker eyeliner, and oh so tired i'm-edgy-because-i-wear-black-nail-polish, 49-year-old Frank Carlton Serafino Feranna, Jr (aka Nikki Sixx) and 26-year-old girlfriend Katherine Von Drachenberg (aka "L.A. Ink" star Kat Von D) are tatted up beyond all recognition -- from each other! Tattoo you!

Considering that after only dating for a month, Kat had the name of her ex-boyfriend -- Alexander Orbi Lee Kelton Orbison -- tattooed onto her skin, there's no doubt this newfangled relationship will last ... about as long as a Motley Crüe song!

Doll company Herobuilders has created an 8-inch tall Barack Obama doll. Unlike the life-sized version, the creepy looking, pint-sized presidential hopeful does not come with a guarantee to bring about real change in Washington.

One man bid $40,100 for one "meet and greet" with Scarlett Johansson at a film premiere.

Sure, the money goes to charity, but that same amount of cash could buy 40 dates with Gov. Eliot Spitzer's hot hooker -- and she's a sure thing!

Lanky Jaslene Gonzalez, "America's Next Top Model" cycle 8 winner, was flat-out denied from Snoop Dogg's "Ego Trippin" album release party at Touch in NYC last night. The Covergirl tried to be easy, breezy, and beautiful - but after posing and strutting for paps, Miss "ANTM" was still not allowed past the velvet rope. Awkward!

Jermaine Dupri and Snoop Dogg both arrived after the incident, and pimps walked right into the club. Well ... it was the Doggfather's party.

When asked about the situation - Lizzie Grubman, Jaslene's publicist, told TMZ "Why wouldn't they let a beautiful supermodel in -- it's news to me!"

Bai Ling celebrated pleading guilty to disturbing the peace by drinking a big 'ol glass of wine. Thatta girl!

In her wacked-out mess of a blog, Bai writes, "Theft dismissed! yes! This is it! All the darkness went away, the sunlight really come back to me with a huge smile right now dance in my trailer Yes! Yes! Yes! I will drink a sexy red wine tonight after my filming and celebrate. I am smiling for real!"

In her most recent blog, Bai Ling called her alleged pilfering of $16.22 worth of goods from an airport "an innocent mistake." So now she's making sense?? Doubtful.

The chicken-dancer extraordinaire adds that she is "confident that the truth will be told since I never had any intention of taking items without paying for them." Riiiight.

Underneath pictures of herself at the Southwest terminal at LAX, she writes, "Delayed the flight, wondring [sic] again in the airport like a ghost, why can't I just be the sun smile? My heart is a little sad now, casted by the melody of life ..."

TMZ has obtained the photograph in question, a headshot of Kat that reads, "Burn in hell Jewbag." No one witnessed Kat write the message, but Chris Garver, another tattoo artist on "Miami Ink," tells TMZ Kat personally handed him the photo.
