Just two days before he laid the legal smackdown on Elmo voice actor Kevin Clash -- claiming Clash sexually abused him as a teenager -- Cecil Singleton laid the smackdown on STAGE ... dropping it like it's hot at a NYC drag show ... and we got the video.

Cecil took the stage at Lips Drag Show on November 18th in what appears to be some kind of dance battle.

We only see Cecil's dance part -- but it's safe to say he won ... at least based on the guy's insane moves ... easily performing a split, and booty-popping his way back onto his feet.

Adam Garone created "Movember" -- the mustache month -- to raise awareness for prostate cancer -- but now that it's over ... some chicks are blaming him for ruining the dudes' faces. So, much for sensitivity.

File This Under ... THE CASE OF THE MYSTERIOUS GORILLA SUIT!

TMZ has learned ... one of the stars of "Honey Boo Boo" was arrested earlier this month after cops say "Crazy" Tony Lindsey (Boo Boo's cousin) was part of a group wreaking havoc on a Georgia highway ... with a gorilla suit.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Deputy Joe Rozier says he was driving along Highway 20 around 11 PM ... when he noticed someone carrying out a very stupid, and dangerous, prank:

"I observed a white male dressed in a gorilla suit acting as if he was going to jump into my lane of travel. I swerved into the left lane to avoid an accident with the person."

Rozier claims he immediately stopped the car, whipped out his flashlight and went searching for answers ... and "observed several white males run up the embankment and into the woods."

Rozier says he shouted at the group that he was going to release his K-9 on the perps ... when someone yelled back, "You don't have to do that, we're coming back."

The officer says he eventually made contact with 5 adults and 2 kids ... but NONE of them had a gorilla suit. Eventually, Dep. Rozier says they 'fessed up to stashing the suit in the woods.'

After recovering the suit, Dep. Rozier says he arrested all of the adults for reckless conduct -- and booked them all into the local jail. The gorilla suit was taken into evidence.

Oh, and one more shocker ... cops say booze was involved.

Ronda Rousey ain't ashamed to say it ... she's all about banging dudes before she steps into the octagon -- thereby cementing her place as the coolest chick in sports.

The MMA champ revealed her pre-fight sex rituals with Jim Rome on Showtime ... saying, "I try to have as much sex as possible before I fight, actually."

Rousey says the old theory about no sex before fights doesn't apply to female fighters because making the beast with two backs increases testosterone levels in women -- clearly a plus before brawling.

TMZ broke the story ... Ronda is jumping to the UFC to become the league's first female fighter.

The New Orleans Saints got a rude and messy welcome to Atlanta last night ... as airport workers hurled eggs at a charter bus carrying the team!

The smelly assault went down moments after the Saints got off the plane in Atlanta and boarded a bus. Officials at Atlanta's airport confirm that eggs were thrown at the bus as it drove off the tarmac.

Several Saints players, including star tight end Jimmy Graham, blamed airport workers for the incident.

Graham tweeted ...

Airport officials say they are scrambling to find out who's unleashed the eggy hell.

The Saints flew in for tonight's game against the Atlanta Falcons -- and we're guessing the egg culprits are big fans of the dirty birds.

The people behind Viagra want NFL players to know ... the magical penis pills should NOT be used to enhance performance on the field ... despite what Brandon Marshall may have heard.

Marshall -- one of the best wide receivers in the league -- gave an interview today and discussed the lengths some of his peers will go to get on edge on the field, saying:

"I’ve heard of some crazy stories. I’ve heard (of) guys using like Viagra, seriously. Because the blood is supposedly thin, some crazy stuff. So, you know, it’s kind of scary with some of these chemicals that are in some of these things so you have to be careful."

Shockingly, a rep for Pfizer -- the company behind Viagra -- tells TMZ the pills are "indicated solely for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED)."

The company explained, "Pfizer has not examined the safety of Viagra in men without ED and does not promote or encourage the use of Viagra for any use but the treatment of ED."

Actor Jason Patric is embroiled in a bizarre custody war, in which he donated sperm so his ex-girlfriend could have a baby, but according to the deal she could never tell anyone or ask for financial support.

TMZ has learned the facts surfaced in a court hearing earlier this month -- Patric was with on-again-off-again girlfriend Danielle Schreiber for more than a decade. They broke up in early 2009, and he allegedly told her that he didn't have any money to give her but he would give her the next best thing -- his sperm, so she could have a baby.

We're told Jason made it clear ... he would only provide his sperm if she didn't breathe a word to anyone and never asked him for child support. She agreed.

Baby Gus was born in December, 2009. In 2011, Jason and Danielle got back together but it didn't last long. They broke up in May, 2012.

Apparently, while they were together, Jason, who never paid Danielle child support, took a liking to Gus, because he filed legal docs in family court asking a judge to award him 50/50 custody.

But there's a little known law which says if an unmarried man artificially inseminates an unmarried woman with the help of a physician, he's NOT legally the dad and has no custody rights.

The judge has given Danielle temporary sole legal and physical custody of the boy. Jason has visitation rights. We're told Danielle is fine VOLUNTARILY giving Jason the right to spend time with the boy, but objects to a judge ordering visitation -- she doesn't believe Jason has or should have any LEGAL rights to custody or visitation.

The case is back in court this afternoon. We'll let you know what happens.

Wanna live like Jack Nicholson? Well now you can ... sorta ... because the actor is unloading the plot of land where his house burned to the ground last year.

In case you didn't know, Jack's 1,300-square-foot Hollywood Hills pad went up in flames back in September 2011 ... and the damage was so bad, he decided to level the remains with a bulldozer.

Jack had been renting out the home before the fire -- but now that the place doesn't even exist, he's ready to let the lot go ... listing the property (or lack thereof) for a cool $595,000.

And how's this for awesome real estate history -- Jack originally bought the home way back in 1975 for a measly $49,000 ... not a bad investment.

Although Jack's worth a reported $400 million, so it's not like he needs the money.

Thanks to our friends at Trulia for the heads up.

Katt Williams led police on a crazy chase through the streets of Sacramento on Sunday -- even driving on the wrong side of the road -- all while riding on a bizarre 3-wheeled motorcycle, law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

According to law enforcement sources, cops observed Williams driving his motor tricycle on the sidewalk -- and when they attempted to pull him over, Williams took off.

We're told the chase continued for several minutes -- with Williams driving all over the place, even on the wrong side of the road.

At one point, we're told Williams took his helmet off and yelled back at the cops, saying, "I'm not going to stop!"

You can't blame Justin Bieber if his fans scream so damn loud you go deaf, and you definitely can't sue him over it either ... at least according to legal docs filed by Justin's lawyers.

TMZ broke the story ... a mom named Stacey Betts slapped Bieber with a $9.23 million lawsuit ... claiming her hearing was severely damaged at a 2010 concert when the Biebs "enticed the crowd" into a screaming frenzy.

Now Justin's firing back, claiming Betts' lawsuit is missing a few things -- like facts.

According to the documents, there's no way JB could have known "pointing to a crowd" would cause a so-called "sound blast" -- and Betts' suit also fails to allege Bieber has any duty to stop fans from making noise.

Don't ever say Charlie Sheen's not the charitable type -- because he recently cut Lindsay Lohan a $100,000 check to cover the actress' six-figure tax bill ... all out of the goodness of his heart ... sources tell TMZ.

Sources close to Lindsay tell us she and Charlie became close pals while on the set of "Scary Movie 5" back in September -- spending a lot of time together both on and off the set.

During their bonding period, we're told Lindsay and Charlie talked about everything -- and at one point, Lindsay mentioned her ongoing tax problems.

We're told Charlie offered to cut her a check then and there to get the IRS off her tail, but Lindsay refused.

Fast forward to last week -- sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ, Lindsay's biz manager received a check from Charlie for $100,000.

We're told Lindsay was blown away by Charlie's generosity -- and immediately applied the money to her outstanding tax bill.

TMZ broke the story ... Lindsay allegedly owed Uncle Sam $233,904 in unpaid taxes for 2009 and 2010 -- but thanks to Charlie, that number's nearly been cut in half.

As we reported, Lindsay's slated to earn over $2 MILLION by the end of this year -- but who knows where that's going.

The economy is rough, even for famous people, so former "Young and the Restless" star Kevin Schmidt found himself a good old fashioned cash cow -- or in this case ... pig.

Sources close to Kevin -- who's also the bro of "Big Time Rush" star Kendall Schmidt -- tell TMZ the actor bought a micro pig (named Yuma) back in February for a cool $10,000.

The tiny pig became a sensation online and has amassed over 5,000 Twitter followers and copious YouTube videos dedicated to its very adorable existence.

Our sources say Kevin decided to capitalize on the pig's fame and started dropping $1,000/month to train Yuma. It's paid off and now the little guy rakes in $15,000 for public appearances (which Kevin attends) and $5,000 for movie and TV gigs.

All in all, we're told Yuma has made around $30,000 and now he's dropping a clothing line at the end of the month (below).

THINGS AMANDA BYNES LIKES: red turbans, long and pointy fingernails, and taking pictures of herself in the mirror ... this according to the actress, who's making her presence known after several weeks under the radar.

Bynes was keeping a low-profile -- following some really bizarre public behavior -- but finally resurfaced this week on Instagram ... claiming her phone was stolen and her "fans" should follow her there instead.

Bynes then posted the SAME picture of herself (wearing a turban and sunglasses) three different times with three different captions, specifically ... "Bout to get my nails done" ... "What up doe" ... and "Love my turban."

She also shot a picture of her crotch rockin' skinny jeans with the line ... "Losing weight is hard." Brilliant.

Oprah's "Favorite Things" is slowly putting an end to America's body stink problem -- because ever since the Big O announced her preference for a certain kind of soap ... the company's soap sales have exploded.

Oprah publicly endorsed the Lafco soap set on her new list -- which she releases every year -- and according to a rep for Lafco, invoices have nearly quadrupled since the list came out.

We called to ask if sales have increased dramatically since Oprah's endorsement, and the rep tells us, "Holy hell, yes it has. It is our third time being chosen. We're busy as hell."

The rep adds, "We usually invoice 80-100 a day, and yesterday we had 431 invoices."

As for the other products on the list -- they're also experiencing sales booms.

The makers of Corkcicle -- a wine-chilling cork -- tell us they've experienced a 350% sales increase ... and the people behind the Tusk Capri Checkbook Clutch say they're getting TEN TIMES the normal order amount.

Sales for Oprah's favorite elliptical trainer have also gone up 300% -- according to the company, Octane Fitness.

The drunken Australian model who was TASED after breaking into Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills mansion last month is officially OFF THE HOOK ... this according to law enforcement.

We broke the story ... Tom made it clear that he didn't feel there was any "malicious intent" when Jason Sullivan drunkenly scaled a wall and wandered onto Tom's property.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, the L.A. County District Attorney spoke with Tom ... who informed officials he did not wish to press charges over the incident because he realizes it was just a sloshy mistake ... so it's case closed.

FYI -- Sullivan had been staying at the home next to Tom's pad ... and has been telling friends he simply mistook Casa de Cruise for his house in a drunken stooper.

It's a Thanksgiving conspiracy -- one of the turkeys pardoned by President Barack Obama last year was euthanized this week ... just days before Turkey Day ... and so far, no one's saying why.

A rep for the Mt. Vernon Estate -- where the pardoned turkeys are SUPPOSED to live out the remainder of their days in pastured leisure -- said the turkey (named Peace) was euthanized Monday following an illness over the weekend.

But the rep didn't know what kind of illness it was, how it was subsequently killed, or what the plans were for the turkey's delicious remains.

The rep says the decision to exterminate the fowl was made by a local veterinarian.

Coincidentally, the Mt. Vernon Estate DOES serve turkey on Thanksgiving.
