Snooki's Middle Finger Mea Culpa
Snooki apparently regrets flipping the bird at the city of Philadelphia this morning -- and is now apologizing for her fowl finger.
The "Jersey Shore" star just apologized on her Twitter, posting "Sorry philly for the reaction this morning I got caught up in the moment and wing bowl is nuts!"
As we previously reported, Snickers' colorful sign language was in reaction to the crowd booing her while entering the Wing Bowl.

Heidi Montag Version 3.0 -- Batteries Not Included
While propped up in L.A. on Monday, robotic "Hills" star Heidi Montag showed off the aftermath of willingly undergoing ten horrifying plastic surgery procedures in one day.
This is the second time the delusional 23-year-old has gone under the knife, having already had a nose job and a breast augmentation in 2007.
Unreal.

KFC Ad -- OK for Australia, Racist for US?
Placating a crowd of black people with a bucket of chicken is considered good marketing by Kentucky Fried Chicken in Australia -- but it's causing a bit of a fervor here in the States.
The ad shows a very distressed white guy, surrounded by a crowd of black people at a cricket match, who wonders, "Need a tip when you're stuck in an awkward situation?" He gets out of the "awkward situation" by handing them a bucket of chicken.
A rep for KFC Australia told a local paper, "It is a light-hearted reference to the West Indian cricket team ... The ad was reproduced online in the US without KFC's permission, where we are told a culturally-based stereotype exists, leading to the incorrect assertion of racism."
UPDATE -- We just got this statement: "KFC Australia is removing the television advertisement that was being run in conjunction with the Australian cricket season. We apologize for any misinterpretation of the ad as it was not meant to offend anyone."
Katt Williams -- Packin' Heat in Hollywood?
Say hello to Katt Williams' little friend.
TMZ has obtained photographs of Katt in Hollywood early yesterday morning -- which show the comedian with what looks like a handgun holstered in the back of his pants.
Sources at the scene say Katt was involved in a verbal altercation with a group of people outside of Bar Lux Club at around 1:15 AM. We're told during the spat ... Katt went to his car and retrieved the alleged weapon, stuffing it in his jeans.
After a lot of yelling, everyone parted ways.
Katt's lawyer could not be reached for comment.

Toby Keith -- Eye Did Nothing Wrong
No complaints, no foul -- that's what Toby Keith's peeps are saying about his eye-stretching performance at a Nobel Peace Prize after party earlier this week.
The insensitive gesture occurred during Will Smith's rendition of "Rapper's Delight," when Toby slanted his eyes as Will rapped the word "yellow" -- but according to Toby's rep, "No one at the concert thought Toby was out of line."
Toby's rep also said, "Everyone was impressed with his rapping skills and that's it ... all of the artists liked each other, hung out, and it was a very friendly, genuine, and supportive atmosphere."
We're guessing the woman who sued Miley Cyrus for $4 billion over the same gesture would disagree.

Spencer Pratt Owes Your Ears an Apology
In what can only be described as a devastating blow to the music industry -- TMZ has learned Spencer Pratt is now the proud owner of his very own music company.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, the day the music died was November 18, 2009 ... when Pratt was declared the humble owner of "King Spencer Music."
Pratt was granted the name for a filing fee of $23 -- which is ironically the same price as a pair of Aearo Peltor Low Profile Folding Ear Muffs.
We smell a stocking stuffer!!

Tiger Woods Mocked in Airline Ad
It didn't take long before someone used the Tiger Woods crash to cash in -- betcha didn't think it would be an AIRLINE COMPANY!?!?!?
Spirit Airlines -- a discount carrier based out of Florida -- is running an ad on their website featuring an animated tiger (the animal) crashing an SUV into a fire hydrant -- sound familiar?
After the animation, a graphic pops up promoting their "Eye of the Tiger Sale" -- with fares starting at $9.
Sure, sounds like a good deal -- if you like your airline using a CRASH to promote itself!

Burglar Bunch at Orlando's House Say Cheese!
TMZ has obtained a photo taken by security cameras outside of Orlando Bloom's house on the morning it was burglarized ... and authorities think the pic shows the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch doing their thing.
Even though only two suspected members of the bunch -- Alexis Neiers and Nick Prugo -- have been charged with the Bloom burglary, the photo clearly shows four hooded people walking in the street.

The Dumbest Fashion Faux Pas Ever
It doesn't get much dumber than this -- one of the chicks arrested in the Burglar Bunch case rolled into court Friday wearing one of the very necklaces the gang is suspected of stealing from Lindsay Lohan.
Didn't take Sherlock Holmes to notice -- investigators immediately confiscated the necklace from Courtney Ames' neck because it looked just like the one stolen from Lindsay Lohan's home ... in fact, we already did a story about Courtney wearing the same exact necklace last week.
Ames had already told TMZ that she bought the rosary beads for five bucks at some shop, but today she told authorities the charm on the necklace was given to her by another member of the bunch -- i.e. it may have been stolen from someone at some point.

Ryan Jenkins Suicide Device Used on Halloween
Ryan Jenkins -- the reality show contestant who killed himself after he was accused of brutally murdering his wife -- was mocked ruthlessly on Halloween with a display featuring the actual coat rack he used to hang himself.
Sometime last month, the coat rack was removed from the Thunderbird Motel room where Jenkins hanged himself, after the room's new occupant complained that the rack creeped him out and he couldn't sleep.
The manager gave the rack to a friend of his -- a friend who decided it was the perfect decoration for his Halloween party.
The friend labeled the rack as "Ryan Jenkins' Last Stop" and we're told, shockingly, it was a huge hit at the party ... with several people taking morbid photos with it like it was the Lincoln Memorial.
FYI -- For those of you with an eye for detail, that IS the same air freshener hanging from the rack in both pics.
So the question remains...

Taylor Swift Embraces the Swastika
UPDATE: Swift's rep just put together this swift explanation for TMZ, "Taylor took pictures with about 100 people that night ... she doesn't know who this guy is and she didn't realize what was on his shirt."
What the heil was Taylor Swift thinking?
During Katy Perry's birthday party in West Hollywood last weekend, 19-year-old Swift put her arm around a guy wearing a Nazi swastika -- a symbol of hate, murder and evil -- and smiled for a photograph.
There are rumblings that the "JH" on Swift's shirt stands for "Jew Hater" -- but it seems more likely it stands for Julianne Hough due to the fact that Hough had a "TS" painted on her outfit ... most likely for Taylor Swift.
