Rihanna Exploits Beating in New Video

Published | Updated

Rihanna has released a new music video ... featuring an abusive relationship with a guy who looks JUST LIKE Chris Brown. Coincidence? We think not.

The video ends when a pushed-to-the-limit Rihanna gathers the strength to leave the dysfunctional relationship.

Rick Ross The WING Stop After TWO Seizure Scares

Published | Updated

After two in-flight medical emergencies, rapper Rick Ross FINALLY made it to Memphis this weekend for the grand opening of a chicken wing joint.

TMZ broke the story ... Ross suffered his first seizure on a commercial flight, which had to be diverted so he could receive medical care.

Hours later, Ross got back on a private jet ... and suffered ANOTHER seizure. The plane was also diverted ... but this time Ross was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.

But Ross eventually made it to Memphis ... because Ross' friend, DJ Khaled, posted a photo last night ... showing the rapper sipping on a drink in front of a Tennessee Wingstop. Khaled noted, "My brother ROZAY!!IS GOOD!!!"

It's unclear HOW Ross actually got to Memphis -- or how he plans to get home.

Lindsay Lohan Has to be Crazy ... Blowing Off Court-Ordered Shrink

Published | Updated

Lindsay Lohan has violated the judge's order in her probation case by not seeing a psychologist at least once a week ... TMZ has learned ... and that may be enough to send her to the slammer.

Judge Stephanie Sautner made it clear to Lindsay during her sentence last May ... she MUST see the shrink every week, but she has not. We're told one of her excuses is that she's been working out of the country, but Judge Sautner made it extremely clear ... work is not an excuse for failing to comply with the terms of probation.

And, Judge Sautner said, if Lindsay violates any court order, she's going to jail ... period.

As we first reported, it's even worse, because Lindsay was kicked out of the Downtown Women's Center, where Judge Sautner ordered her to perform 360 hours of community service ... kicked out because she repeatedly failed to show up, and when she did she frequently did not stay the required 4 hours at a time. That's another violation of Judge Sautner's court order.

And there's even more bad news for Lindsay. Judge Sautner is going to be extremely unhappy when she learns how much community service Lindsay has completed. Sources connected with the Probation Department tell us, as of September 30, Lindsay logged a grand total of 21 hours, leaving 339 hours which must be completed by May 11, 2012.

Short story ... Lindsay could go to jail next week, when she appears before Judge Sautner for her progress report.

NFL Star Jerome Simpson Cops Confiscate 8.5 POUNDS Of Pot in Drug Sting

Published | Updated

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson (left) is now the target of a massive drug investigation -- after police confiscated a mind-blowing 8.5 POUNDS of marijuana from his Kentucky home.

To put this in perspective -- casual pot smokers typically purchase by the gram ... and there are over 453 grams in a pound.

According to reports, cops searched Simpson's home after snagging a package that was shipped to his house -- containing 2.5 pounds of Mary Jane -- and then found another 6 pounds of weed, packaging materials, scales, and smoking devices.

A rep for the National Marijuana Initiative -- which coordinates marijuana enforcement operations around the country -- believes the house was set up as a "potential distribution network."

Bengals tackle Anthony Collins (right) was also present when police raided the home -- and he's being investigated as well. Police detained the two players during the search, but neither was arrested.

And FYI ... it was no accident the Salahis turned up at that concert -- sources extremely close to Michaele tell TMZ, she had been in close touch with Neal leading up to the show.

According to sources, Neal went so far as to send Michaele an extremely suggestive message just days before the show -- "I will be there on the 4th for a make-up date. Solo!!!! Can u?"

Gumby Tries to ROB Convenience Store ... Fails So Hard

Published | Updated

What's big, green, and wanted for attempted robbery?

Law enforcement tells TMZ, a man wearing a giant Gumby costume tried to knock over a 7-Eleven in San Diego early this morning -- announcing as he entered, "This is a robbery!"

The clerk behind the counter thought it was a prank -- so to prove he meant business, Gumby reached into his pockets to procure a weapon.

But thanks to his bulky, Halloween-clearance-outlet costume, no weapon was ever produced -- Gumby fumbled for several moments ... but ultimately gave up and beat a hasty, embarrassing retreat.

The video is hilarious -- cops tell TMZ, the man dropped $.26 while bungling around for his gun ... and actually tried to pick it up before taking off.

A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Gumby’s arrest. Chances are he is unarmed and completely harmless.
