Honey Boo Boo hawking Girl Scout cookies to her hundreds of thousands of fans online is UNFAIR ... so says a rep for the Girl Scouts of the USA, so the organization shut down her campaign.

HBB posted the ad on her Facebook page -- which has 701,000 likes. She also got in the girl scouts' faces by posting pictures of stacks of boxes that she sold. FYI ... she's not selling the cookies for herself ... she's doing it for a friend.

It didn't go down well with the organization. A rep for GSUSA in Georgia tells TMZ ... they contacted her site's administrator and explained online selling is off-limits, because it defeats the whole purpose of selling the cookies -- to teach girls all sorts of things, including goal setting, people skills, etc.

So HBB's people took down the ads, but get this ... the sales she's already made will be counted.

Here's something you never knew -- Ne-Yo was MARRIED!!!

Ne-Yo was leaving Supperclub in L.A. this week when we randomly asked if he'd ever gotten hitched.

Ne-Yo told us he actually WAS married 11 years ago when he was 19 -- but he and his wife were only together a few months before they got an annulment.

He said, "Nobody really knows that. Nobody ever really asked."

Bobby Brown's going to jail ... Lisa Vanderpump's going to "Dancing With the Stars" -- we're not sure what they have in common ... but they were buddy buddy last night after a fancy celebration dinner.

TMZ broke the story ... on Tuesday Bobby was sentenced to 55 days in jail for his third DUI -- but on Wednesday night he enjoyed dinner at Madeo with family and friends ... and walked out of the restaurant arm-in-arm with Vanderpump.

It's news to us that BB and the 'Real Housewives' stars are pals ... but last night they even joked (we hope) about sharing custody of LV's pooch, Giggy.

It's the biggest question Daytona 500 champ Jimmie Johnson -- and every other NASCAR driver -- faces during a grueling 3-4 hour race ... HOW DO YOU GO TO THE BATHROOM??? And JJ actually gave us an answer.

Jimmie -- who was out in NYC yesterday -- told TMZ, "Some guys just go." Yes, in their pants.

But the 5-time Sprint Cup champ adamantly denied ever wetting himself, adding ... "I never have. Of course I wouldn't do that."

SURE YOU WOULDN'T.

DC Comics is making a huge mistake by killing off Batman's iconic sidekick Robin in the newest issue ... so says the most famous Robin ever, who tells TMZ, the future of the Batman franchise DEPENDS on the Boy Wonder.

DC is slated to kill off Robin in the next issue of the "Batman Incorporated" series -- but Burt Ward (who played Robin in the 60s TV show) has one thing to say ... "Holy self-inflicted wound! Not good for corporate profits!”

Ward tells us, "It’s a terrible choice to kill off Robin. Why bite the hand that feeds you? ... Robin should only die in people's imaginations! Or in a state of primal ecstasy!"

FYI -- It's not the first time Robin's been killed off in the comics ... DC previously did him in back in 1988 when fans voted to off the character.

Nevertheless, Burt adds, "Every youngster realizes that he or she is too young to drive and they are not big like Batman. So, they all yearn to be Robin who gets to RIDE WITH BATMAN AND FIGHT WITH BATMAN!"

He's got a point.

It's clear from the photos ... Paisley couldn't be happier with Bun Bun's undying presence.

Why does this sound so familiar?

Call us suspicious ... or conspiracy theorists ... or whatever ... but we may have found proof that Suri Cruise is actually using a TINY BODY DOUBLE to fool the media!!!

Exhibit A -- Suri getting out of an SUV in NYC this weekend wearing a beanie, blue bubble jacket, leggings and brown Uggs.

Exhibit B -- Another little girl who sorta looks like Suri getting out of the exact same SUV wearing an IDENTICAL OUTFIT ... with a different colored beanie.

So what does it all mean??? Is Suri trying to dupe the media? Is the other girl in on some sort of diabolical plot? Or ... are they just friends who like to wear the same clothes?

We know, that's ridiculous ... IT'S TOTALLY A BODY DOUBLE!!!

Someone reportedly unloaded in one of the bathrooms at the Oscars and flooded the lobby ... TMZ has learned.

We're told a water pipe burst inside the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, just before the opening curtain was pulled. The custodial staff handled the situation with vacuums.

No one on stage has mentioned it ... but it's apparently quite a thing.

L.A. City Fire did not know the nature of the leak, but there is one report from someone on scene that a toilet triggered it.

Erin Andrews was caught completely off guard at the Daytona 500 today when she randomly bumped into 50 Cent ... and then proceeded to awkwardly dodge his attempt at a kiss.

Andrews was working the event for FOX and was trying to score an interview with Danica Patrick. She couldn't find Patrick, but did run into 50 ... who went in for a kiss, but Andrews turned her head to the side and the kiss was ruined.

To make matters worse, Andrews left 50 behind to continue her search for Patrick ... but 50 tagged along anyway. As soon as Andrews realized she wasn't going to find Patrick -- and was instead left with just 50 -- she immediately tossed it back to the show's hosts.

DeStorm Power is one of the most popular musicians in the world -- of YouTube -- but even after 190 million views ... the guy still has to pour his own engine oil! Thanks for nothing, Internet.

DeStorm Power is a YouTube GOD -- with over 191 MILLION views -- but the guy is so down to earth, he still changes his own oil .. and FREESTYLE RAPS at the gas station ... and TMZ has the video.

Despite his viral success on the Internet, Power told us his next major song release will be televised on MTV -- which begs the question ... MTV still plays music??

But TMZ got a live demo of Power's talent when our cameraman offered up a beat ... and DeStorm started freestylin' on the spot ... all about his oil change. And it was awesome.

Call him Jermaine Jacksun ... with a "U" ... because as of this afternoon, that's legally his name.

We've learned ... an L.A. County Superior Court judge approved the singer's petition for the name change, which the 58-year-old filed back in November.

TMZ broke the story ... the man formerly known as "Jermaine Jackson" had said he wanted to make the change for "artistic reasons" ... whatever that means.

10:28 AM PST: A rep for Paula tells TMZ ... the notion that she was drunk is ridiculous, because Paula's not a drinker.

She INSISTED the morning mojito she sipped on was of the virgin variety ... but Paula Deen's goofy, salsa-dancing, chicken-ball obsessed appearance on "Today" had the Internet asking ... was she drunk??

Deen and her son kicked it with the morning show gang in Miami this morning to talk food -- but Deen was taking the conversation all over the place ... and people on Twitter began to question her sobriety.

She started with an impromptu hip-shaking salsa dance ... before talking about a run-in with a skunk that went down before the show began. Deen also tried to make the hosts smell her hands.

Doesn't seem like she was hammered ... just her usual loud, uninhibited self.

If John Travolta could pick ANYONE in history to fly a plane with ... he might not be able to make up his mind -- telling TMZ, he's narrowed his choices down to two aviation legends ... but still can't decide.

The "Grease" star was leaving Amici restaurant in L.A. when our photog dropped the million dollar question: "If you could fly a plane with ANYBODY, dead or alive ... who would it be?"

And Travolta ACTUALLY ANSWERED. It's seriously cool ... even if you don't give a crap about planes.

It might be the most brilliant line of questioning of 2013 ... a TMZ photog went face-to-face with Jesse Jackson Jr. and demanded to know why he blew his stolen campaign money on a Michael Jackson fedora ... AND NOT A MICHAEL JACKSON GLOVE???

And then the follow up ... DID YOU AT LEAST GET TO WEAR THE FEDORA?

Of course, JJJ just plead guilty to fraud ... after stealing $750,000 from his campaign to support a lavish, over-the-top lifestyle. Jesse admitted he spent the cash on things like fur capes, a mounted elk head, and a fedora once owned by Michael Jackson.

If Tila Tequila wants her old Louis Vuitton purse back ... it's too damn bad ... 'cause one of the stars of "Storage Wars" officially took ownership of the bag, along with a bunch of Tila crap, after winning a storage auction in L.A. ... TMZ has learned.

The person who bought the storage unit is Nabila Haniss -- who bid just under $3k for the unit after only getting a few minutes to scope it out (the same way it happens on the show).

Once she took ownership, Haniss says she was convinced the unit belonged to Tila based on all of the stuff inside ... including self-portraits, a personal diary, racks of clothes, pictures, Louis Vuitton bags, and personal memoirs about TT's engagement to heiress Casey Johnson, who passed away in 2010.

Haniss says she reached out to Tila about the purchase -- but never heard back -- and now believes the troubled reality star's not even aware her unit was foreclosed on.

Haniss says her next move is to sell the contents on eBay.

FUN STORAGE FACT: Haniss bought Paris Hilton's foreclosed storage unit back in 2004 -- and later sold it all off for a small fortune to the person who created the site Parisexposed.com.
