Kanye West has created a military-like drill for the mass of sneakerheads on the hunt for Yeezys ... and you gotta wonder if it's worth the incredible hassle.

People are already lining up at 2 L.A. locations for a shipment sneaker blogs speculate will come Friday. If that's the case, the stores will learn this weekend how many pairs they'll each get ... it should be around 60.

Once the stores are notified, the manager of each store will give the first 60 people in line a wristband, which makes them eligible to buy a pair for $350 a pop. But that's only the beginning.

The people with wristbands are required to come back to the store 3 times a day to check in ... at noon, 4 PM and 8 PM. They have to show ID each time. And if they miss even one ID check they're out of the game and the next person in line gets a wristband.

It sounds like a line for losers, but there's an endgame. Whoever gets the shoes will almost certainly resell them for $1,000 and possibly even more.

However, our Yeezy sources say there's not yet a specific release date for the kicks other than "early this summer" ... so maybe the hardcore sneaker heads know something we don't.

The host of MTV's "Silent Library" was arrested after cops say he went on a verbal tear ... threatening to kill tourists visiting a local landmark.

Law enforcement in Manitou Springs, Colorado tell TMZ last month Zero Kazama began yelling at people visiting the town's historic cliff dwellings ... telling them they were on sacred ground and would be killed if they didn't leave.

We're told visitors were so scared, employees had to lock the area down until cops arrived ... but when they did, Kazama was no where to be found.

Cops put an alert out for Zero and later that night, officers from a nearby station found the host at the scene of a car wreck ... he was arrested and booked for DUI, reckless driving and assault.

Kazama was released the next day on a $1k bond.

Zac Efron was hanging at a Florida pub Saturday night ... with a monkey-like creature on his arm.

Zac was shooting "Baywatch" in Boca Raton, hanging at an Irish pub for the night, when a random patron walked in with a Kinkajou. Zac took to the rainforest dweller -- called a "honey bear" in Central America -- and got handsy with it.

The Kinkajou has a propensity to drink people's drinks ... so you gotta see this one in action.

A drug mule tried to put the "sneak" in sneakers last week -- but got busted at JFK with $90,000 worth of heroin in 3 pairs of Nike Air Force 1s ... officials say.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection says the drug mover was on a flight from the Dominican Republic -- and when he got to the inspection, officials noticed his shoes were unusually heavy.

In the end, officials say they found 3 POUNDS of heroin hidden in the kicks ... with an estimated street value of $90,000!!!

The perp was arrested and handed over to Homeland Security -- and now faces federal drug smuggling charges.

Adolf Hitler was a genocidal maniac, but not because he was overcompensating for his micropenis.

The Hypospadias Association, which offers support to people afflicted with the condition, tells us they have hundreds of members, many of whom are successful, high achievers. Based on a wide sample, the group insists there is no correlation between a micropenis and anti-social behavior.

A new review of Hitler's medical records revealed the dictator suffered from a genitalia deformity ... most probably a micropenis. The records also show he had an undescended testicle.

The story caught fire and lots of people assumed the root of his evil could be found in the genital region.

Hotel prince Rick Hilton is going to bat for his family brand -- personally telling Kyrie Irving to COME BACK to Hilton Hotels after his bedbug incident last weekend.

By now you know ... the Cleveland Cavs star claims he was bit up by the creepy crawlies at the Skirvin Hilton in OKC -- and it freaked him out and made him sick.

But Rick -- the grandson of Hilton founder Conrad Hilton -- says the NBA star shouldn't hold a grudge with the hotel chain ... and kindly asks Kyrie to give Hilton another shot.

United runs a piss poor airline, according to a passenger who claims someone at the carrier opened her luggage and peed on her clothes.

Laura Henry tells TMZ she flew from Newark to San Fran last week and all seemed fine, until she unpacked her bags. She says to her horror she discovered someone had urinated on her clothing and the lining of the luggage ... claiming the liquid was yellow and it reeked of pee.

Henry took the bag to SFO Airport the next day and filed a complaint. She says the United rep called BS on her story but said someone would get back to her.

We contacted UA and an official told us they don't believe anyone peed on her clothing ... there was no evidence or smell of pee on anything. In a show of good will the airline is paying for a new bag. Henry says she put the garments in the wash for a few cycles and the stain and smell are gone.

LeBron James is nothing but a modern day slave ... owned by the white man -- in a system designed to chew him up and spit him out ... so says Louis Farrakhan.

The leader of the Nation of Islam was speaking at a Saviours' Day event in Detroit when he warned community leaders to NOT put up basketball courts in the community.

"Please don’t put up another basketball court thinking that you're giving back to the black community ... basketball courts are a training ground for a basketball plantation."

Farrakhan compared the NBA Draft -- and other pro sports -- of participating in a system not unlike the slavery auction block.

"We got bought and sold just like that ... and that's what you do in sports."

"You run up and down the field, you show them how swift you are, how clever you are. And they’re sitting there watching you, timing you ... that’s a good one, I’ll get him, I’m drafting him."

Scott Stapp got a creepy surprise right after starting his latest tour when he accidentally found out he was cruising around on the very bus where Scott Weiland recently died.

The ex Creed frontman's rep tells us Stapp had just started his solo tour in Nashville, and during one of his first days on the road someone found a Weiland tour badge on board.

We're told it didn't take long for Stapp to connect the dots. Having struggled with his own drug issues, Stapp saw the bus coincidence as a "poignant reminder" about losing Weiland -- who he admired -- and about the dangers of addiction.

Joanna Krupa wants so badly to save an animal she thinks is part wolf ... she's willing to sit face-to-face with it ... in the wild.

Krupa tells TMZ she first saw the creature in the Hollywood Hills more than a week ago. She thinks it's part wolf, part dog and noticed it was bleeding -- so she started feeding it daily.

Her plan is to gain the animal's trust and then capture it and take it to a vet for treatment, but that won't be easy. She says dog rescue people have seen her video and think it could be up to 70% wolf ... which would also make it more dangerous to approach.

If it turns out to be domesticated, Joanna says she might adopt it or help it find a safe home through Lockwood Animal Rescue Center in Ventura.

Do NOT try this in your own backyard.

Sony Music honcho Clive Davis is at the receiving end of some very serious death threats ... and they're so severe, cops are on the alert to track the suspect down.

Law enforcement sources tell us Jeffrey Choi left Davis a message in November saying, "... you're a piece of s*** ... I will f***ing kill you."

We're told it's not the first time Davis has been threatened by Choi. In 2011, Choi left messages with Sony Music claiming they made songs about him without permission. He demanded money and threatened violence. He was put on a psych hold but later released.

Cops say when they went to Choi's latest residence they learned he'd moved and when they got him on the phone, he refused to meet up without seeing Clive face-to-face.

Terrell Owens says his good friend Chad Johnson is all alone when it comes to pee ... saying Johnson's recent revelation that he used to soak his sore ankles in teammates' urine is "weird."

Owens was out braving the sub zero temperatures for the All-Star game festivities in Toronto when we asked about Johnson's whizz wisdom ... and whether Owens would ever try it.

Check out the clip -- seems as if Terrell's ankles are going to stay -- and have been -- pee free, with him telling our guy he thinks the entire thing is odd.

Tom Cruise zealously guards his image, which is why it's shocking he's allowing a Senate candidate in the Philippines to use his mug on campaign billboards.

Cresente Paez is gunning for an upgrade from the Philippines House of Representatives to the Senate. So the campaign brain trust came up with this ad, showing Tom Cruise scoffing at Paez's candidacy ... calling it "Mission Impossible." But Paez fires back, "It's Paezible!"

Tom has gone on the attack against people who use his name and likeness without permission, but his longtime lawyer, Bert Fields, tells TMZ, "Since the ad's meant to be funny and doesn't imply an endorsement, I'm sure Tom's not going to assert the right to protect his name and likeness."

Sidenote ... the movie poster is from 2006. Sometimes there's a bit of a delay when movies go international.

"NCIS" star Pauley Perrette claims she was attacked by another homeless guy ... this time in her car and narrowly escaped after getting all evangelical on the dude.

Perrette says she was stopped on a busy street in Hollywood when she gave a buck to a "pretty off homeless guy" asking for change.

Perrette says the guy then grabbed her wrist and stuck his head into her car demanding to know the time. She says her immediate reaction was to yell "I rebuke you satan in the name of Jesus Christ!" And then she told him the time ... 5:37 PM.

Seems to have done the trick ... because the dude let go.

It gets weirder ... Perrette says she had a taser and tactical knife with her in the car too, but chose to go the good Samaritan route instead.

Move over Bigfoot and Chupacabra -- the Yeti's getting a little shine while skiing in the mountains of Spain ... allegedly.

The footage, which recently surfaced, shows a Yeti, aka abominable snowman, running through on a ski slope in the Pyrenees -- or at least that's what the skier who shot the images thinks.

Oddly, not everyone's buying that this is the real deal. Sure, it could just be some dude in a big furry snowsuit, but where's the fun in that? For the record, the ski resort says it sent out a search party but found nothing.

Normally, the Yeti's associated with the Himalayas ... so maybe he's just wintering in Spain. Maybe.

Several locks of John Lennon's hair are on the auction block, and even though it's already going for five figures ... it's a steal as Lennon memorabilia goes.

Heritage Auction out of Dallas is hawking a 4-inch chunk of John's hair -- a hairdresser cut it off before his role in a 1967 movie called, "How I Won The War" -- and the current bid is at $12k.

Past Lennon items have gone for way more than that: his '65 Rolls Royce Phantom V sold for $2.23 MILLION, and Lennon's handwritten lyrics to "All You Need is Love" fetched $1.25 million.

So chances are the price on Lennon's locks will go through the roof too. Get your bids in now!
