Sandra Bullock Gets Emergency Protective Order
Sandra Bullock may have been in harms way when someone broke into her house over the weekend ... because TMZ has learned she has already obtained an emergency protective order.
Joshua Corbett was arrested inside Sandra's home Sunday morning after the actress called 911 to report a break- in. The intruder entered through the backdoor, although it is unclear if it had simply been left open.
Corbett was arrested for burglary however it is looking more like a stalking case.
Our law enforcement sources say no property was taken and none of Bullock's property was on Corbett's person when he was busted.
We're told such a protective order is only issued if the actress has reason to fear the suspect.
Our law enforcement sources say so far it does not appear that Corbett has any history with Bullock.

Usher took to Instagram Saturday posting a pic of he and Biebs with a long caption describing how he feels ... he explains, "As I have watched Justin Bieber navigate difficult waters as a young man, I can tell you that he hasn't always chosen the path of his greatest potential, but he is unequivocally not a racist."

What he is now is a young man faced with an opportunity to become his best self, an example to the millions of kids that follow him to not make the same mistakes."
For those of you keeping track ... Usher, Whoopi Goldberg, Mike Tyson, Young Money, Floyd Mayweather and Souljah Boy have all voiced support for Justin, who has already apologized.

Kim & Kanye Topless Kim Wedding Painting Wasn't Our Idea
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's egos DO know a limit, after all -- TMZ has learned they are disavowing any knowledge of a partially nude painting of Kim ... allegedly commissioned for their wedding.
A report from across the pond this week said Kanye had contacted a street artist named Bambi to do a thong-baring painting of Kim entitled "Perfect Bitch" -- which, by the way, looks nothing like her in the face. Bambi nailed the ass though.
But sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... neither of them know ANYTHING about this -- no painting was ever ordered, nor does Kim want one. This should sound familiar ... another artist, Monica Warhol, claimed the same thing last year.
We spoke to Bambi's manager, who's standing by Bambi's story and claims Kim's people should be receiving the artwork any day now.
Look for it in a garbage bin outside their home.

The guy who massively choked on solving a puzzle on "Wheel of Fortune" Wednesday night fully admits he blew it -- but tells TMZ he doesn't think his blunder is the worst of all time.
In case you missed it, check out the clip above to see just how far off Stephen Dryer was. It wasn't pretty.
TMZ spoke with Dryer ... who explained to us he rang in way too early and nervously forgot the category. Dryer says he knew his answer was off from the beginning ... but just felt he had gone too far to try and change it.
As bad as his mistake was ... Dryer thinks the guy who flubbed on Achilles back in April was WAY WORSE. He's right.
But Dryer is taking the ridicule he’s receiving in stride -- he did leave the show $7,200 richer, and says he plans to take a cruise to the Southern Caribbean for eight days in October.
Bad guess, good sport.

14-Year-Old Justin Bieber Sings Parody 'One Less Lonely N*****' And About Joining the KKK [VIDEO]
A 14-year-old Justin Bieber did a horribly racist version of his own song 5 years ago ... looking into the camera and singing ... "There'll be one less lonely n*****."
Bieber and his team tell TMZ ... they want this video out, because he wants to own what he did.
We're told when Justin was 14 ... he had seen a random video online in which a comedian parodied his song, "One Less Lonely Girl," but the guy replaced the word "girl" with the n-word.
Justin then parodied the parody ... right on camera.
We're told years ago Justin told both Usher and Will Smith about the videos, saying he knew almost immediately it was a stupid thing to do ... Usher took him into a room and showed him historically racist videos to drive home how hurtful these words can be.
Bieber and his team say various people have tried to extort him over the last few years -- demanding money for both this video and the one he made when he was 15. Justin says he will not be shaken down anymore. He says he wants people to see the video and he wants to accept responsibility.
Justin apologized several days ago ... saying, "I thought it was OK to repeat hurtful words and jokes, but didn't realize at the time that it wasn't funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the ignorance."
The video came with the watermark, "PROOF."
Jennifer Love Hewitt Sues 'Shark Tank' Wannabe ... You Bit My Image
Jennifer Love Hewitt's face is getting spread all over the Internet and she ain't happy about it -- she is suing the company using her image to promote a product the "Shark Tank" investors called a total "scam."
The product is called Slim Spray ... which claims to be an oral vitamin spray that will boost your energy and shed pounds. According to the lawsuit ... J.Love's face and bod have been attached to spam ads (you might have one in your inbox right now) that make it look like she endorses the stuff.
Jennifer claims she's worked too hard to develop her "stellar reputation and credibility" to have it all blown by Slim Spray -- and says she never authorized the company to use her image.
As for the photo of her holding the product -- she implies someone put it in her hand on a red carpet event, snapped a pic ... which ended up on Slim Spray's website and ads.
In the docs -- filed Wednesday in L.A. -- she points out the "Shark Tank" crew dismissed the spray as nothing more than a "hustle."
She wants Marz Group -- the makers of Slim Spray -- to quit using her image ... and she is asking for damages.

Justin Bieber Shakedown Over Racist Video
Justin Bieber was the victim of a million dollar shakedown by a guy who had the video of the singer telling a racist joke ... sources connected with JB tell TMZ.
Our sources say ... approximately 2 months ago Bieber's reps were contacted by a lawyer representing a guy who worked on one of Bieber's video projects. We're told the guy was in possession of Bieber's personal hard drive, saw the video and swiped it.
We're told the lawyer told Bieber's reps his client would sell the video to the media unless Bieber anted up $1 million. Bieber's reps scoffed, and the lawyer immediately dropped the price to $800K.
Sources say the lawyer kept calling back and finally -- a week ago -- said $500K would keep the tape secret. The lawyer was told he "wasn't even in the ballpark" and was sent packing. The video was released a week later.
We're told Bieber's people wouldn't make the deal because they didn't think the tape was that harmful ... especially because Bieber was 15 years old when he told the racist joke.
