'Kramer's' Racist Tirade Caught on Tape
WARNING: WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE IS PROFANE AND RACIAL
Michael Richards exploded in anger as he performed at a famous L.A. comedy club last Friday, hurling racial epithets that left the crowd gasping, and TMZ has obtained exclusive video of the ugly incident.
NOVEMBER 2006
Richards, who played the wacky Cosmo Kramer on the hit TV show "Seinfeld," appeared onstage at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood. Kyle Doss, an African-American, told TMZ he and some friends were in the cheap seats and he was playfully heckling Richards when suddenly, the comedian lost it.
The camera started rolling just as Richards began his attack, screaming at one of the men, "Fifty years ago we'd have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass."
Richards continued, "You can talk, you can talk, you're brave now motherf**ker. Throw his ass out. He's a nigger! He's a nigger! He's a nigger! A nigger, look, there's a nigger!"
The crowd is visibly and audibly confused and upset. Richards responds by saying, "They're going to arrest me for calling a black man a nigger."
One of the men who was the object of Richard's tirade was outraged, shouting back "That's un-f***ing called for, ain't necessary."
After the three-minute tirade, it appears the majority of the audience members got up and left in disgust.
Attempts to reach Richards' reps were unsuccessful.
Flava of Ugh!
His signature clock oughta show that fame's fifteen minutes are up for reality show couple Flava Flav and the "winner" of "Flavor of Love," Deelishis.
The disastrously-clad duo appeared on the red carpet for BET's Hip-Hop Awards in Atlanta, looking like they'd dressed for a Pimp and Ho Ball.
While they may have made 'good' television, Deelishis and Flava have seriously bad taste.

Anyone For a Sack Race?
Victoria Beckham was spotted in London on Thursday in burlap bag chic.
Beckham exited Nobu in this potato sack catastrophe, looking quite un-posh.
While typically dressed to the nines, the former Spice Girl should know that a yard of fabric and a shoelace do not an outfit make.

Desperate Hausfrau
From the look of her embroidered art class smock and long gloves, Eva Longoria was literally ready to paint the town red on Wednesday.
Longoria showed off her inner matron to attend a charity event at New York's American Museum of Natural History, dressed in an ensemble that made her look like Marcia Cross' personal hair colorist.
Sorry Eva, but being TV's golden girl and dressing like one of the Golden Girls -- two different things!

Bam Looks Like a Jackass
Either Bam Margera got caught under a flight of pigeons ... or he's the messiest painter alive.
We aren't sure why Bam rocked the "I just lost a paintball fight" look, but if you saw "Jackass: Number Two," perhaps you can imagine what crazy stunt he attempted that created this splattered fashion faux-pas. Whatever it was, we hope someone caught it on tape.

Helena Is the "Corpse Bride"
It's always Halloween in Helena Bonham Carter's world.
Helena strolled through London on Monday, and although she wasn't begging for change, her homeless chic ensemble seems more appropriate for a bag lady than an Oscar nominee.
While it may be chilly in London, we think Helena should ditch the 'everything and the kitchen sink' fashion motif and buy a proper coat instead.

Danny Bonaduce: Trick or Treat?
We're not sure what he was supposed to be, but a shirtless Danny Bonaduce channeled his inner cheeseball at Dave Navarro's Halloween party on Saturday.
Perhaps not wanting to let his long hours at the gym go unnoticed, Bonaduce ripped his t-shirt off, which nearly revealed his 'red carpet,' upon arriving to the costume ball.
No matter how ripped your body may be, that's still no excuse for coming up with such a lame non-outfit. Boo!

McDonald's Ain't the MAC Counter
Troubled actress Natasha Lyonne came out of hiding and turned up at a Manhattan McDonald's on Wednesday.
Much to the delight of her fellow diners, Natasha dumped the contents of her purse onto a table and began applying makeup to cover up a blemish on her face. Classy.
We firmly believe personal hygiene should be done in the privacy of your own home - that is if she has one.

Mary-Kate Goes Pantless
Apparently Mary-Kate Olsen lives in some alternate universe where the "homeless lumberjack" look is in.
The less-fashionable of the Olsen Twins was spotted shopping in West Hollywood wearing only a plaid button down shirt -- barely concealing her panties -- and black tights.
Oh Mary-Kate, we get that you have your own "unique" sense of style, but please at least put on some pants before leaving the house next time!

Courtney Love - 'Hole' Lotta Woman
Courtney Love is busting out all over.
The former Hole frontwoman arrived at the "Borat" premiere in Hollywood on Monday sporting some serious Pamela Anderson cleavage, draped in a Bea Arthur/Dorothy Zbornak gold duster, and a dress that looks like a castoff from Mariah's last tour. The hair comes compliments of "There's Something About Mary."
While we're glad Courtney's gotten her act together and is recording a new album, it seems now it's her wardrobe that is still in need of some rehabilitation.

Did Snoop Sneak A Weapon Into O.C. Airport?
TMZ has learned that rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg (aka Calvin Broadus) was busted for attempting to carry a weapon through an airport security checkpoint.
According to law enforcement officials, Snoop attempted to walk through an X-ray machine at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, Calif. late last month with a 21" collapsible baton packed in his laptop computer case. Orange County Sheriffs' deputies were called to the scene where they detained the rapper and confiscated the weapon.
Snoop was not arrested, however, and we're told the Sheriffs Department file was sent to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
The D.A. may decide as early as today whether to file criminal charges against the rapper.
Drew Goes Grunge
As a member of Hollywood royalty, Drew Barrymore has some of the best genes in the biz, but it's her denim jeans that need to be trashed.
Barrymore was spotted walking in Hollywood on Saturday sporting a pair of baggy, dirty, ripped jeans which probably haven't seen a washing machine since Nirvana's last tour.
While her clothes may scream 1993, luckily Drew's career has aged better since such early 90s gems like "Poison Ivy" and "The Amy Fisher Story."

Hilary Not So Swank
Unless her latest character is a Mayflower Pilgrim that enjoys wearing Uggs, we're not quite sure what Hilary Swank's new role is all about.
The two-time Oscar winner was photographed on the New York set of her new film "P.S. I Love You" on Tuesday sporting a dowdy dress with a strange wishbone like graphic on the front along with a pair of Ugg-like slippers/shoes.
If Hilary can win Academy Awards for transforming into a transgendered person and a female boxer, then playing a fashion victim should be a breeze.

It's 'Judgment Day' for Linda Hamilton
Someone should have terminated Linda Hamilton's goth ensemble before she left the house on Saturday.
Linda paired a black satin dress, with masculine black boots and a sweater-scarf contraption that seemed more appropriate for a Nine Inch Nails concert than a fashion charity event.
Linda proves sometimes you can go wrong in a little black dress.

The Devil and Grace Jones
Singer/actress and all around freak Grace Jones showed up to an art opening in London on Thursday looking like something a demented cat dragged in.
Sporting many layers of dark clothes, a hat that appears to be a cross between a beret and a dish rag, and her signature possessed facial expressions, the former Bond girl proved there's never a dull moment when Ms. Jones is in the house.
Normally we wouldn't condone this kind of behavior, but Jones' brand of insanity is secretly fabulous, so we say keep up the good work Gracie!

Cowboy Getup is a Drag for Bobcat
Actor/comedian/director Bobcat Goldthwait showed up to the premiere of his movie "Sleeping Dogs Lie" on Wednesday looking like a cross-dressing Brokeback cowboy.
Part western wear and part punk school girl chic, Goldthwait sported a cowboy hat along with a plaid skirt and orange Converse combo which appears to have come straight out of Avril Lavigne's closet.
We're not sure how often Bobcat dons women's skirts, but at least it looks like he had the decency to shave his legs. And for that we're thankful.
