Rihanna flirted with death and then triggered arrests after posting a pic of an adorable little animal ... that can kill you.

Rihanna was in Phuket, Thailand and posed with a loris. Seems innocent enough.

Here's the problem. The critter is an endangered animal indigenous to Southeast Asia and there's a law that says you can't charge tourists money to take pics with endangered primates.

Rihanna Instagrammed the photo and people started bitching in Phuket. Authorities corralled the 2 guys who took the photo -- ages 16 and 20 -- and busted them.

FYI -- Loris carry poison that can be deadly. When they get pissed off they release the toxins from their elbow, put the juice in their mouth and if it touches humans they can go into anaphylactic shock.

P.S. Rihanna also went to some sex shows. That can kill you too.

George Zimmerman's divorce proceedings are on hold, TMZ has learned ... because he's gone Bigfoot on his wife.

The divorce can't move forward until George is served with papers, but his estranged wife Shellie's lawyer tells us, George is MIA.

The lawyer says he can't find George anywhere and has no idea how to track him down.

Sources close to George's family tell us they're in contact with him -- and he's safe -- but they don't know exactly where he is. We're told George plans to lay low for the foreseeable future.

Shades of Tim Tebow on the campus of Florida State -- where someone is making major coin off t-shirts depicting FSU QB Jameis Winston as Jesus Christ, and the university is trying to shut it down ... TMZ has learned.

If you hadn't heard ... Winston's become a Heisman frontrunner, scoring 6 TDs in just 2 games (that's a lot) -- and an enterprising FSU fan decided to cash in.

The fan, who wants to remain anonymous, tells us he sold 100 of his "Chosen One" shirts for $20 a pop last weekend. $2,000 ain't too shabby for a few hours work.

But a high-ranking source inside FSU's Athletic Department tells us they've fired off a cease and desist letter to the fan ... out of concern sale of the shirts could get Winston and FSU in trouble.

We're told the NCAA could punish FSU if it feels the school isn't doing enough to prevent someone from profiting off a player's image -- a right which is reserved for NCAA universities.

The other issue, according to our source, is a lot of people on the Tallahassee campus just think the shirts are sacrilegious.

For his part, the fan says he'll be hawking the tees again during today's home game.

Percy Sledge -- who rocketed to fame with "When a Man Loves a Woman" -- knows no one will ever record a better version of his 1966 hit ... not even himself.

Sledge -- now 72 -- had one of the most played songs in history, but shockingly it's not lining his wallet. Get this ... he gave his 2 bandmates writing credit as an act of kindness -- an act that has cost him untold millions.

Back to Bolton ... we gotta ask...

Oops ... Famke Janssen didn't get the world's creepiest gift from a burglar after all -- cops now believe the children's book that was allegedly 'left' in her home ... was hers all along!

As TMZ first reported ... the 'X-Men' star called NYPD back in August after she returned to her ritzy NYC pad and found a children's book called "The Lonely Doll" in her bedroom.

But now detectives think the book was hers because they found errand lists tucked in the pages of the book -- and Famke's name was reportedly on at least one of the notes. Police reportedly believe the book has some connection to Famke's home.

What's so creepy about the book is the subject -- it's about a couple of toys that promise to never leave each other ... so, understandably, Famke probably feared a stalker had been in her home.

Mel Gibson could not have been happier to see the gaggle of paparazzi waiting for him in West Hollywood Wednesday night ... or was he just dripping with sarcasm?

"Grand Theft Auto 5" star Shawn Fonteno (who plays Franklin in the game) believes the age of TV actors ... and even film actors ... IS OVER ... because video game actors are taking over the game BIG TIME.

Fonteno was hanging out by his skyscraper-sized "GTA" billboard last night in Downtown LA ... and hearing him talk, it's incredible. He's straight-up the real-life version of Franklin from the game. You gotta listen.

We ask him a bunch of questions -- about in-game strip clubs, how much $$$ he got paid, everything -- but the best part of the clip is when he craps all over TV actors.

Hide ya eggs, hide ya uterus, 'cause Antoine Dodson is IMPREGNATING PEOPLE!

The former bedroom intruder-fighting YouTube star has announced he's knocked up his "queen" -- and the two are having a baby.

Dodson tweeted, "I just became the happiest man alive!! My beautiful Queen and I are having a baby!!"

As we previously reported, Dodson used to be an openly gay man ... but after becoming a member of the Hebrew Israelites earlier this year, he "renounced" his homosexuality ... saying, "I want a wife and family, I want to multiply and raise and love my family that I create."

As for the baby mama -- so far, no word on her identity.

Dodson called in to "TMZ Live" about the whole thing ... and was eerily mysterious. It was bizarre. Take a look.

Everything about Britney Spears' pre-dawn dog and pony show to announce her Las Vegas shows was absolutely perfect!

If you consider air sickness from a hellish helicopter ride ... perfect. And who doesn't?

The Insane Clown Posse has been sued by their former publicist/attorney who claims her office was a hot bed of sexual abuse -- which included dildos, vaginal devices and firearms.

The person behind the suit is Andrea Pellegrini -- who claims she got the ax after reporting the alleged abuse to the honchos at ICP's record label, Psychopathic Records.

According to the suit, filed in Michigan, Andrea details all sorts of crazy abuse -- which allegedly began in 2009.

Here are the highlights:

-- In 2011 ... Violent J's girlfriend Michelle Rapp glared at her in a hostile manner. When she complained to the president of the record label, he told her Michelle is "crazy" and might beat her up.

-- In 2012 ... on the way to lunch, Dirty Dan, a Psychopathic Records employee, told Andrea he had a "fat c**k" and that "he'd like to f**k her."

-- In July 2012, Andrea changed her Facebook status to single... and soon after, Dirty Dan presented her with a "clear dildo" in the office and told her that she'd probably need it because she's single.

--Later that day .... Andrea says Dan gifted two other women in the office with "vagina tighteners"

-- In August 2012 ... she was told she couldn't use the private bathrooms at the Gathering of the Juggalos and was forced to share restrooms that were "often full with naked male strangers."

As for the guns -- Andrea claims she was once asked to obtain illegal automatic weapons for a photo shoot.

Andrea is now suing for wrongful termination and wants compensation for suffering a slew of injuries ... which include, "fright and shock" and "horror, outrage and indignity."

Rock legend Pat Smear -- who played guitar for Nirvana and the Foo Fighters -- has a huge penis ... this according to an expert on the matter, his wife.

Pat and his wife were leaving Craig's in Hollywood the other night when we started talking about things like rock stars and devil worshiping (the usual).

During the convo, Pat's friend Bill Carroll (radio guy) made a joke about Pat having a tiny instrument ... and that's when Mrs. Smear chimed in and gave us the 411 on Pat's ginormous pud.

It's possiby the greatest Fat-on-Fat takedown of all time -- an XXXXL SUPLEX at the U.S. Sumo Open in L.A. this weekend ... and it was all caught on tape.

The Slammer -- Byambajav "Byamba" Ulambayar
6'1", 346 lbs ... and the reigning U.S. Sumo Open champ

The Slammee -- Kelly "Big Tree" Gneiting
6'0", 420 lbs ... and pink diaper enthusiast

The two clashed in the sumo circle on Sunday ... and the slam was so ferocious, some spectators say they could feel the fat shock wave ripple through the stadium.

Sumo Fun Fact -- Byamba, of Mongolian decent, is 59-1 in his sumo wrestling career.

The one loss? Unclear. Probably some other fat bastard ...

The President of the United States just got a scolding ... from the President of the United States -- after he botched a golf shot ... and TMZ has the footage.

The video was taken on August 17 when Barack Obama was playing a round at the Vineyard Golf Club on Martha's Vineyard.

After B.O. sliced his shot, you can hear him yell something that sounds like, "C'MON BARACK ... not THAT far left."

He immediately assumed his golfing position and tried to recreate his swing in what appears to be an effort to diagnose the problem.

The footage was shot a considerable distance away from Barack and his 4-some ... probably due to the scary guys with earpieces and guns.

Britney Spears got off to a shaky start for her Las Vegas debut -- she got sick on the chopper ride for her big announcement.

Britney didn't say if "sick" meant hurled ... but it's a reasonable conclusion. She wore gigantic sunglasses in the dark night as "GMA's" Sam Champion tried to get her animated.

So here's the lowdown ... Brit opens Dec 27 at Planet Hollywood. TMZ broke the story ... she'll be pulling in nearly $15 mil for 48 concerts a year and it's a 2-year deal.

Ticket prices are pretty reasonable -- $59 - $179.

Now this is interesting ... Champion asked her about possibly living in Vegas and Brit was sketchy. Our sources (and obviously they're good) tell us ... Brit will "absolutely not" be living in Vegas. She has no plans to get a house there. "It's strictly in and out," said one source involved in the concert ... partly because she doesn't want to disrupt the kids during their school year.

We're told Planet Hollywood will make a gigantic suite available on the 52 floor. There are several of these mega-suites available on the 51 and 52 floors ... People at the hotel call it the 5152, which is interesting. Brit knows something about that ... minus 2.

David Tutera should NOT split up his twin babies -- so says one identical celebrity sibling who tells TMZ if the reality star doesn't come up with a better plan, both of the infants' lives will be ruined.

TMZ spoke with Carlos Ramirez -- the twin brother of Efren Ramirez, who played Pedro in "Napoleon Dynamite." CR tells us if David and his ex Ryan Jurica separate the kids, he believes it could cause a major "identity crisis" later in life.

"Splitting twins is a death in itself," he adds. "Twins grow together emotionally and to not let them connect like that will be damaging."

Then again, Carlos' relationship with his twin hasn't exactly been perfect either -- in fact, Efren threatened him with a $10 million lawsuit back in '08 for impersonating him ... and they haven't spoken in years.

Scott Disick hates poor people.

He also hates the middle class ... and also the barely rich.

In fact, Scott hates all un-super rich people so much ... he posted a bunch of photos this weekend in what appeared to be a blitzkreig to mock them ... starting with the wads of $100 bills he uses to wipe his ass.

He posted pics of diamond jewelry, expensive watches and wads of cash ... along with captions like, "Hello, peasant's is that u?" He included the hash tag, "f**ku."

Sure it's tasteless. Sure it's crass ... but it's also kind of awesome.

So, we gotta ask ...
