Justin Bieber ventured deep into the Guatemalan jungle to help a group of poor villagers construct a badly needed schoolhouse this weekend ... and TMZ has the pics.

After Justin performed in Guatemala City on Saturday, he joined up with Pencils of Promise -- an organization dedicated to building schools for communities in need.

JB was choppered into a remote area outside the city on Sunday ... where a makeshift construction crew was already busy putting up walls for the new school.

In a video posted on his blog, Bieber says the town was overrun with poverty -- "I'm not talking about poor, I'm talking about 10 people living in a little shack."

Inspired, Justin ditched his shirt and went to work -- grabbing a wheelbarrow and helping to build a wall for the school.

He also took off his shoes and gave them to one of the local children.

Afterward, Bieber says it was, "one of the most amazing powerful experiences of my life."

Bieber says the experience helped him grow as a person -- saying, "I feel like they helped me as much as I helped them."

Don't expect to see Jason Momoa slap-battling anymore random dudes at bars ... 'cause the "Game of Thrones" actor says he's hanging up his mitts for good.

Momoa was catching a flight out of LAX when we asked about the video that went viral this week of his dominating slap sesh ... and Khal Drago told us that was his final battle.

Momoa says the dumbass in the video who challenged him was a friend -- and after the battle the guy's hands healed quickly. Why do we think Jason's friend would have a different opinion?

Oh, yeah ... because we've seen the video.

First order of business ... turn my bedroom door into a Gucci shrine!!!

We'd say it looks lame ... but Rampage is really strong.

The fate of the Los Angeles Lakers rests in the hands of Kobe Bryant ... which is why it might be concerning that his hands are near the mouth of A LIVE MAN-EATING LION!!!

Kobe faced down the king of the jungle at an L.A. studio today ... during a commercial shoot for Turkish Airlines. Kobe's a celebrity spokesman for the airline.

Check out the pics above ... that's Kobe sticking his right hand (his shooting hand, mind you) directly up to the lion's mouth.

Fortunately, Kobe emerged without a scratch ... and he's lucky ... 'cause as everyone knows, big cats can be dangerous to humans. Just ask Adam Sandler ...

We now know why Madonna broke up with her 26-year-old ex-boyfriend Jesus Luz ... the guy kisses ... like a St. Bernard.

The photo was taken today in Italy. We don't know who the unlucky girl is, but we're really hoping she brought a towel ... and some industrial strength disinfectant.

FYI, Madge and Jesus first got together in 2008 when Jesus was just 21 (and Madonna was 50) and split in 2010. They probably had some other problems too.

Looking like she accidentally got her head stuck in a giant block of moldy Manchego, Lady Gaga stepped out in Berlin earlier today, definitely not scrounging for attention.

Weird Al Yankovic is the danger ... HE IS THE ONE WHO KNOCKS ... at least on his birthday.

The singer and self-professed "Breaking Bad" fan turned 54 today, and marked the occasion just like Walter White does on the show -- arranging his bacon in the shape of his age -- but Al tells us, there's something special about his bacon ... it's veggie.

Which leads us to our FUN FACT OF THE DAY: Weird Al is a vegetarian.

And this is cute, he says his wife prepared the breakfast surprise for him because she knows he's a big fan. Happy birthday!!!

As for his new album -- which Al first told us about last month -- he says he's still working hard on it, and it WILL be released ... he's just not sure when.

Macaulay Culkin took part in a donkey show in Mexico this weekend ... but it was bestiality-free.

Mac and R&B singer Har Mar Superstar were in Tijuana for a concert. They posted this pic just before going on stage, teasing the surprise guest who was riding a zonkey.

For those unfamiliar -- zonkeys are donkeys painted to look like zebras ... a long-standing TJ thing.

The concert was a hit, though judging from the photos a little on the weird side. Then again, compared to what strippers do on stage in TJ this was Hannah Montana territory.

Jenna Jameson was a MESS during a live TV interview this morning ... slurring and stumbling as if she was wasted on-air ... and it was so bad, sources tell TMZ that producers cut her segment short.

The 39-year-old porn legend appeared on "Good Day New York" -- promoting her first novel, "Sugar" -- and we're told she was supposed to stay for two complete segments.

But after the first couple of minutes, it was clear Jenna was out of it (at the very least) ... and producers made the decision to cut off JJ before the second segment.

Jenna has struggled with substance abuse in the past .. she pled guilty to DUI last year after crashing her car into a light pole in Orange County, CA. Officials say she had two types of prescription drugs in her system at the time of the incident.

Jenna's ex Tito Ortiz has also said Jenna is hooked on Oxycontin -- but Jenna has denied those allegations.

Wayne Newton's fancy boat is almost entirely underwater on Lake Mead, AZ ... and TMZ has the first pic of the sunken vessel.

Newton wasn't on board the 65-foot yacht when it went down while moored in a marina. The bow of the "Rendezvous" is all that's left above water right now.

It's a total mystery how the yacht suddenly sunk -- but a rep for the National Park Service tells TMZ the initial assessment is some sort of equipment failure.

This is the latest financial catastrophe for Newton ... who was sued last year by an ex-business partner over failed plans to turn his former home into a museum.

The Park Service told us it will begin salvage operations on the yacht this week, and then park service rangers -- and insurance investigators -- will begin their probe.

Screw Obamacare or the murderers that broke out of prison in Florida, ABC News just sent out an email blast to the media with the most important news of the day -- IT'S KIM KARDASHIAN'S BIRTHDAY!!!

Seriously, ABC News just fired off a news release with the subject line, "Kim Kardashian Turns 33."

Wait, before we go any further .... ABC included a note at the top of the email warning, "News organizations using excerpts of this reporting should credit/link to ABC News."

But ABC didn't launch the press release JUST to tell us information widely available on the interweb -- they also made sure we knew, "In honor of the reality star’s 33rd birthday, we are dedicating our entertainment section to all things Kim Kardashian."

The email concludes, "Don’t forget to wish her a happy birthday!"

Oh, we won't!!!

Keep up the good work ABC News -- delivering the news the people NEED to know.

Now, excuse us ... we have an exclusive Kevin Federline story to write.

Legendary animal expert Jack Hanna finally has an answer to the question on everybody's mind this week ... telling us he ACTUALLY KNOWS what the fox says.

Ylvis posed the question ... so we wanted an answer -- and it turns out the guys from the group were pretty close.

Hanna says the animal makes a high-pitched squealing noise "almost like the sound a dog toy would make."

The animal wrangler tells us he's glad the group is getting people talking about animals ... but hasn't heard the song.

Now enjoy a video of Jack's favorite kind of fox getting all Joff-tchoff-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff.

Kanye West has figured out a new way to idolize baby mama Kim Kardashian -- he's enshrined her on his t-shirt.

The rapper was spotted in Seattle yesterday wearing the shirt with Kim's face on it -- shortly before kicking off his Yeezus tour -- and he couldn't help but smile.

Which raises the question ... would you wear a t-shirt with your S.O.'s face on it? Sound off in the comments.

UFC newbie Andre "Touchy" Fili has a secret weapon for his debut fight tonight -- stained, old green underwear ... and the fighter is pretty confident it'll give him an edge.

Fili knows the underwear might turn some people off ... however Touchy's convinced they'll bring him luck -- since he wore them during his most intense amateur fights.

Sadly, Fili won't actually be wearing the crusty briefs -- they're too long for his new gear ... but Andre says they will hold down the fort in his hotel room during 166.

As for the drizzle stains ... he's had 'em a long time.

Beyonce put it all on the line Saturday in New Zealand -- hurling herself from the top of the tallest free-standing structure in the Southern Hemisphere -- and she lived to tell the tale.

It's called the Sky Tower -- an observation and telecommunications tower located in Auckland that stands at 1,076 feet tall -- and when you visit, you can do something called the SkyJump ... basically a 600-foot free fall while tethered to a wire.

Beyonce suited up and everything. Pretty badass.

Something seems different about Lara Flynn Boyle ... at least judging from these new pics of the actress, but people close to LFB tell TMZ that NOTHING'S WRONG, she's the victim of a few bad photo angles.

The former "The Practice" actress was out shopping at The Glen Centre in L.A. earlier this week looking noticeably different than she has in the past.

We called several people close to Lara to find out if perhaps something was wrong -- but we were assured by them the actress is perfectly fine ... and just seems to photograph poorly these days. In fact, one person said she saw Lara 2 weeks ago and she looked fantastic.

The problem, it's not that there was just one stray shot -- Lara's look is consistent in a series of photos taken that day, from multiple angles.

Yeah, we're stumped too.
