Bam Margera Publicly Asks Dr. Phil for Help ... 'Family's in Shambles'

Published | Updated

Bam Margera is turning to Dr. Phil amid his ongoing struggles -- asking the daytime TV host to help mend fences with his own family ... and being very candid with what's wrong.

The former "Jackass" star took to social media early Sunday morning with a pair of rambling videos and basically begged Phil to take his situation on, saying ... "Dr. Phil, I need your help in a big, big way." He explains that his "family is in shambles," while adding that "it's been worse than it's ever been, ever."

Bam says he's disowned his mom -- more on that later -- and that he can't stand his wife, Nikki, with whom he shares an 18-month son, Phoenix. He also says that if he separates with her, he believes she'll use custody of their son as a pawn in court.

He says he won't play that game, adding that she can have him. He also says that when folks say Bam is going "crazy" ... they might be right.

Bam then pivots to his mother, April, saying she's always negative and quick to cut people off in conversation to get her point across. He sees that as a flaw that he seems to think Phil can resolve.

He also says he almost "died" the other day, and that when April was told ... she allegedly acted with zero emotion, which bothers Bam. Bam ends his video rant with an apparent message for his mother -- to consolidate his funds with a new account he opened ... or else.

Bam Margera 8/3/19
FLYIN' OFF THE HANDLE

As we've reported ... Bam's been dealing with lots of issues lately, including addiction and rehab stints. Just this weekend, he flew off the handle on an airport employee ... which prevented him from getting on the plane. He was later escorted away by a cop, but wasn't arrested.

If anyone can help, it's Phil. Ball's in your court, doc.

Stormy Daniels Columbus Cops Are Getting Their Due ... For Bogus Strip Club Bust

Stormy Daniels
THEY STOLE MY EARRINGS

Stormy Daniels is getting a taste of justice after the Ohio cops who busted her at a strip club last year are now facing some consequences ... but she ain't done with them yet.

The ex-adult film star was beaming Friday night as she strolled through LAX -- without any makeup at that -- as she reacted to the news that five of the officers who went undercover and arrested her at a strip joint in Columbus will be reprimanded by their department.

When a pap asks how she feels about the update a year later -- she actually corrects him with a more precise time frame (387 days, to be exact) ... so yeah, she's definitely been keeping tabs on the case.

AT THE JAIL

She also doubles down on what's come to light about the arrest since it went down -- that it never should've happened, and it was completely bogus. Stormy was a guest at the venue she was performing at -- she was just booked for a special appearance -- and the no touching law the Columbus cops tried nabbing her on only applies to regular employees.

The charges were dropped, and since then ... Stormy also sued some of those officers, and she tells the photog here that the lawsuit's still on. In the filing, she claimed the cops targeted her for speaking out against Trump ... alleging the arrest was purely political.

She obviously wants damages, but funny enough ... there's one other thing they could give her that might smooth things over.

As for DT, her former attorney Michael Avenatti and the upcoming presidential election -- well, she's got some thoughts on all of the above. Check it out ... classic Stormy.

Lil Uzi Vert I Didn't Leave Lil Nas X on Read ... Down for 'Panini' Remix

DOWN FOR THE FEATURE

Lil Uzi Vert says people who think he shaded Lil Nas X -- including X himself -- are tripping and just don't understand etiquette on Twitter ... where sending a heart is all that's required.

Allow us to explain -- Lil Nas was trending, again, this week when he shared a screenshot of his DM asking Uzi to collab with him on a "Panini" remix ... but getting no reply. Fans accused Vert of leaving X on read ... a clear sign of disrespect, or at least indifference.

But, Lil Uzi tells us he did reply by sending a heart, which suggests he's interested ... and if Lil Nas X wants to collab, Uzi says he's all for it.

Uzi's kinda got a point for not hitting X back with a longer reply ... Uzi says they've never met. Sounds like that's about to change though.

We also had to ask Uzi about the flashy new (but used) $1.7 million Bugatti he debuted at his blowout birthday bash. He's still flaunting it, but not down to talk price. Umm, spoiler alert? Sorry, Uzi.

Reds Pitcher Amir Garrett Suspended 8 Games For Fighting Entire Pittsburgh Pirates Team

Published | Updated

MLB just suspended 8 people for that insane bench-clearing brawl in Cincinnati ... including Reds pitcher Amir Garrett, who basically tried to fight the entire Pittsburgh Pirates team.

Garrett was hit with an 8-GAME suspension for running over to the Pirates dugout Tuesday night and singlehandedly trying to fight ... well, everyone.

Yasiel Puig -- who was on the Reds at the time of the incident -- got 3 GAMES for bull-charging over to the brawl and trying to fight everyone.

During the game, Puig was traded to the Cleveland Indians ... so he'll serve his suspension with them.

Here's how the rest of the suspensions shook out ...

-- Pirates pitcher Keone Kela got 10 GAMES for intentionally throwing a 97 MPH fastball at Derek Dietrich's head in the 7th inning.

-- Reds pitcher Jared Hughes got 3 GAMES for throwing at a Pirates player in reponse to Kela throwing at Dietrich.

-- Pirates infielder Jose Osuna got 5 GAMES for "aggressive and inappropriate actions" during the fight ... which is a fancy way of saying, "5 for fighting."

-- Pirates pitcher Kyle Crick got 3 GAMES for fighting

-- Reds manager David Bell got 6 GAMES for a combination of things including allowing his pitcher to intentionally throw at an opposing batter, escalating the brawl and returning to the field after he was ejected

-- Pirates manager Clint Hurdle got 2 GAMES for allowing his pitcher to throw at opposing batters multiple times.

Everyone on the MLB's naughty list also received undisclosed fines -- along with several other players involved in the brawl including Pirates pitcher Trevor Williams and Reds 1B Joey Votto.

MLB exec Joe Torre issued a scathing statement ripping everyone involved in the fight ... and it sounds like a really disappointed parent:

"The incidents between these two Clubs remain a source of concern, and it’s reflected by the level of discipline we are handing down today," Torre said.

"Everyone on the field should be aware of the example they are setting for fans, particularly young people. I firmly expect these two managers and all others to hold their players accountable for appropriate conduct and to guide them in the right direction."

By the way, all 6 of the suspended players are appealing their suspensions. Stay tuned on that.

'Game of Thrones' Author George R.R. U Sure That's Martin??? ... Look-alike Hits Beach

Published | Updated

George R.R. Martin ain't in Westeros anymore -- and with Winter officially having come and gone, it looks like the famed author hopped a dragon to SoCal ... emphasis on LOOKS like.

The "Game of Thrones" scribe was spotted at a beach in sunny Oceanside -- at least that's what we first thought when we saw this photo. Turns out -- this is George's freakin' doppelganger IN THE FLESH!!! Seriously, the resemblance is uncanny.

We reached out to George's rep to make sure it was in fact him, and we were told no dice!!! The rep says George was actually in a completely different state. The dude's got a crib in Santa Fe, NM -- so he very likely might've been there with his wife, Parris.

When we pressed the rep for George's location he rep told us ... "I know exactly where he is. Not California. Holed up writing."

As for his impostor here, the guy was only slightly less dressed down than the real McCoy -- rockin' a short-sleeve button-down shirt, matching pants and brighter version of GRRM's signature charcoal cap.

Something else to keep in mind ... Comic-Con just wrapped the weekend before in nearby San Diego. So, maybe this guy's still cosplayin'.

Doesn't appear the fake George was flocked by fans -- especially those disgruntled ones who've been bitching about a botched final 'GoT' season.

The good news for real George is if he ever does need someone to help him dodge angry mobs ... he can find him on King's Beach Landing!!!

World Dog Surfing Championships Small Dog Winner Banned ... Owner Barked Up Wrong Tree!!!

Published | Updated

Someone's really screwed the pooch this time -- at least that's how the owner of a reigning dog surfing champ feels after getting blocked from defending the crown.

Sources connected to the World Dog Surfing Championships, going down in San Fran this weekend, tell TMZ ... the reason Gidget The Pug was not invited back to compete this year -- after winning 2 categories last year, including the Goughnuts Top Dogs Award -- is Gidget's owner's fault.

We're told Gidget's owner was pissed that despite her pooch's victories, she was not featured in press materials or social media campaigns. Instead, WDSC hyped another doggo named Derby ... who's bigger and rocked shades while hanging 20.

Our Dog Surfing sources say the owner was constantly blowing up event staff and organizers demanding Gidget get more promotional face time. Not only that, but we're told the owner was riling up folks in the pug community to crap on the event.

We're told WDSC's top dogs made a call to cut loose Gidget and her owner.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Now, as for what the owner has to say about this ... she feels strongly Gidget was snubbed, but doesn't understand why. The owner claims that after making a simple request to get Gidget's photo in a WDSC press release, the event staff got argumentative and demanded the medals and accolades back.

The owner says she didn't budge on that. She says Gidget also won a bunch of categories in 2017 and claims the pup was slighted then too. Her biggest complaint is the lack of recognition is sabotaging Gidget's shot at a book deal. No joke.

Surf game's ruff, bruh... even for dogs.

LFL Coach Violent Chair-Throwing Argument ... With Female QB

THE HEATED EXCHANGE

A coach of an all-female football team got into a HEATED argument with his quarterback ... and got so pissed during the altercation, he threw a chair across the locker room!!!

It all went down at the Legends Football League game on July 20 ... when Chicago head coach Sidney Lewis flipped out after the Bliss suffered an 8-6 loss to the Nashville Knights.

Lewis was ticked off over the team's play -- the Bliss had 4 fumbles, 2 INTs and 3 penalties in the loss -- and he was LAYING INTO his team for the poor performance.

Turns out, quarterback Chaz Duson took some exception to the comments ... and the two got into it.

At one point, Lewis was so pissed over the altercation -- he grabbed a chair and HURLED it into a wall!!!

Then, Lewis got face-to-face with the QB ... and had to ultimately be restrained by other players before the camera cut out.

It's been a brutal year for the Bliss -- they lost all four of their games this season and won't be making the playoffs.

Some believe the down year will cost Lewis his job -- but something tells us Duson wouldn't mind that all that much.

John Legend Declares War on Trump Racist 'Piece of S***'

Published | Updated

John Legend is going to war with President Trump, the gloves are off and it's a full-on street fight ... the singer is calling the President a 'piece of s***' and a canker sore on this country.

The EGOT winner was leaving Peppermint nightclub Tuesday night in WeHo, where he was coming in hot on DT on the way out -- and it's truly something to behold. We know John isn't a fan of the Prez, but we've never seen him swinging quite like this.

He lashes out in a profanity-laced tirade against Trump, and it appears his recent comments about Baltimore and its representative in Congress, Elijah Cummings, is what set him off.

ICYMI ... Trump called Baltimore a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess" over the weekend, as well as a "dangerous & filthy place" -- criticizing Rep. Cummings for bashing the southern border sitch instead of tending to his own district. He's doubled down since then.

Trump's latest perceived attacks against people of color seems to be the final straw for John -- who absolutely insists to our camera guy ... "We need to get him out of office."

He says instead of trashing downtrodden American communities, we need to lift them up ... and this President is NOT doing that. Them's fighting words!!! The question now ... did John go too far here?

A$AP Rocky Alleged Victim's Key Witness Arrested For Theft, Cops Say He Was Armed

Published | Updated

One of the men testifying against A$AP Rocky in Sweden -- a witness to the street brawl -- has his own serious legal trouble, but, mysteriously, his case seems to now be on the back burner.

As we previously reported, A$AP's alleged victim, Mustafa Jafari -- the guy in the video who got tossed like a rag doll -- was convicted of assault in 2016 for striking a guy in the face on the streets of Stockholm.

070119_asap_rocky_kalv2 JULY 2019
BRUTALLY BEATEN

Now, we've learned Jafari's buddy, Dawod Hosseini -- who's set to take the stand in support of Jafari -- was just arrested this month for theft. In fact, Hosseini was busted 2 weeks AFTER A$AP was hauled into custody.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Hosseini was arrested July 19 for shoplifting two high-priced jackets from a Swedish clothing store. The docs also say cops found a knife on him during the arrest.

Hosseini's remained in custody ever since then, but he's scheduled to testify in Rocky's 3-day trial, which begins Tuesday. Sources familiar tell us Hosseini's own trial has been delayed just so he can weigh-in on A$AP's case, as a witness for the prosecution.

Ya gotta think both men -- Hosseini and Jafari -- will be vulnerable, to say the least, if the judge permits A$AP's attorneys to raise their records during cross examination. Remember, there's already the video showing Jafari using headphones to strike one of A$AP's bodyguards before the all-out brawl started.

LET'S MAKE PEACE

A$AP, who's being prosecuted for assault, has been locked up since July 3. He's facing a max sentence of 2 years in prison, but the the lead prosecutor has said he wouldn't recommend that.

'Euphoria' Star Dominatrix Story Doesn't Translate ... Men Are Scared of Me!!!

Published

One of the stars of the HBO teen drama, "Euphoria," says art definitely does NOT imitate life when it comes to her character ... who's ramping up to become a full-blown dominatrix.

Barbie Ferreira -- who plays the the sexually reborn (and empowered) Kat Hernandez on the show -- was leaving LAX Sunday night, when our camera guy ran into her and had a bit of a fanboy moment. As he told her, if he wasn't working ... he'd be watching the new episode.

Speaking of that ... we asked the 22-year-old if she runs back her own work and takes it in as a regular viewer. Turns out, she does! But, there's a catch about how she has to watch.

Considering the extremely graphic nature of the series -- involving sex, drugs and LOTS of other stuff -- we don't blame her for turning down the volume based on her neighbors.

Now, here's something too. Our guy asks if her life has become anything like that of her character's -- with guys throwing themselves at her to solicit her, um, services. Doesn't sound like that's happening though ... if anything, Barbie says it's the opposite.

It's all good though -- Barbie's a real-life sweetheart. And, like our photog mentions, "Euphoria" is well on its way to legendary status for its brutally honest and raw look at high school life ... even if the nudity includes prosthetics.

Armie Hammer Lets Young Son Suck on His Toes ... His Wife Responds

THE AWKWARD MOMENT
UPDATE

12:33 PM PT -- Armie Hammer's wife, Elizabeth Chambers, has responded to the widespread interest and criticism over their kid sucking on dad's toes. In response to someone on Instagram, she wrote ... "it wasn't seven minutes...more like five seconds." She went on to say, "Our son likes to play with people's feet and I put the video on our family stream because this phase is an ongoing joke. Sharing the video on Instagram was def not the best move on A's part, but I can assure you that our children's safety and well-being is always our first priority."

If you thought Tom Brady kissing his son on the mouth was weird, wait 'til you get a load of Armie Hammer and his toe-sucking kiddo. Blows the Brady bunch out of the water.

The actor posted a video to his Instagram story Saturday that showed a pretty gnarly sight -- his 2-year-old son, Ford, sucking his dad's toes, big one included.

In the since-expired clip, Armie is being recorded -- presumably by his wife, Elizabeth Chambers -- lying down on a coach with his boy on the other end, and the kid's mouth on two of his pop's toes. Looks like Ford's really trying to get more in there too.

At the time, Armie captioned the clip, "This happened for a solid 7 minutes... #footfetishonfleek" And, the woman on the video jokingly notes, "This is not normal."

Uh, yeah ... we might have to agree with ya there.

Lots of people have had lots to say about the toe-sucking -- but, truthfully, there's really not much to add other than ... to each their own. Bottom line ... Armie and his son are close, just like TB is with his kid.

You'll recall, Tom was filmed giving his 10-year-old son a peck on the lips during a segment from his Facebook series, "Tom vs Time," which tons of folks were weirded out by.

Can't say for sure which one caused more of a stir, but they're both up there.

Jessica Alba Twitter Hacked ... Racist/Homophobic Tweets Sent

Published

Jessica Alba's Twitter was hacked this weekend, which resulted in some truly horrible tweets being sent out under her name that spewed racist and homophobic sentiments.

The actor and entrepreneur's official Twitter account was taken over by some bottom-feeding Internet troll in the dead of night early Sunday morning, and lo and behold ... they took advantage of the platform with sickening messages. Obviously, it wasn't actually JA.

Around 14 tweets were sent between midnight and around 1 AM PT, which is when it appears Jessica and her team became aware of what was going on and regained control.

Luckily, they were able to delete all of the heinous tweets -- but, unfortunately for them, most of the tweets had been screenshot and shared online like wildfire.

We won't repeat the messages verbatim -- you can see a sample of some of them above -- but if you're curious, they were exactly the type of stuff you'd expect a racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, misogynistic, conspiracy theory-fueled scumbag to vomit up. It all sucked.

Now, the one consistent mention from the troll was rapper YNW Melly -- who's currently in custody and awaiting trial for a double murder he's alleged to have been involved in.

Meanwhile, Jessica's been mum on the hack ... but she's back in the driver's seat.

Nicole Murphy Sweating It Out ... After Kissing Married Man

Published | Updated

Nicole Murphy looked like she couldn't wait to hide under a rock after leaving the gym ... just days after she was caught smooching a married man.

Nicole tried her best -- keyword, tried -- her best to keep a low profile Thursday as she left a gym in Beverly Hills. It's the first time she's been seen in public since apologizing for kissing actress Lela Rochon's hubby ... director Antoine Fuqua.

As we first reported ... Nicole apologized for locking lips with a married man while vacationing in Italy over the weekend. She initially said they were just "family friends" and had simply exchanged a "friendly hello."

But, as you know by now ... her version quickly changed when she told TMZ, "Without going into the entire situation, I want to apologize to my family, and to Lela and the Fuqua family for what transpired."

Long story short ... Nicole was under the impression Antoine was single. He's not. Antoine's been married to Lela since 1999.

Eli Manning On Odell Beckham ... 'I Won A Few Games Before He Was Here'

Published

How's Eli Manning feel about Odell Beckham saying he was the ONLY reason the NY Giants were popular the past few years??

"I won a few games before he was here," the QB said ...

SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADEEEEEEEE!!!

Manning spoke with the NFL Network after NY's practice Thursday ... and when they asked about Odell's recent controversial comments in a GQ article, Eli didn't hold much back.

"I don't think they bothered me," Manning said of the quotes ... "You just kind of shake your head and laugh.

Then Eli dropped the bombshell -- "I won a few games before he was here."

Of course, Odell made the claim that New York was only in the limelight "because people want to see the show. You want to see me play. That's just real rap."

But, Eli clearly feels differently ... and dude seems to have a point. Eli won nearly 100 regular season games before Odell was drafted -- and he also racked up 2 Super Bowl wins.

Odell has yet to address the media at Cleveland Browns camp about the latest comments ... but seems he's going to have some Eli Manning questions coming his way when he does!!

Manson Murder House Sold!!! To 'Ghost Adventures' Star Zak Bagans

Published | Updated

One of the homes that became a gruesome murder site at the hands of the Manson Family has been sold ... appropriately to Zak Bagans, the star of "Ghost Adventures" ... TMZ has learned.

The house was owned by Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, the couple brutally murdered by Manson family members. Rosemary was stabbed 41 times ... Leno 12 times. The August, 1969 murders came the day after Manson Family members slaughtered Sharon Tate and 4 others. The murders sent shock waves through Los Angeles like never seen before.

We're told Zak jumped when he heard the home was up for sale for $1.98 million. He literally ran to check out the house, and made a close-to-asking offer. It'll close in early Sept.  He was smart to jump, because the realtor tells us there were multiple backup offers.

The news comes the day before the official opening of the Quentin Tarantino film, "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," starring Brad Pitt and Leo DiCaprio. The sale will close JUST after the 50 year anniversary of the murders.

Zak tells TMZ, as a collector of dark culture, he was drawn to the home's history. It was such a gruesome scene ... after committing the murders, the Family members showered at the home before leaving.

Zak says almost everything inside is original, and that's one of the main things that attracted him.

The house is 1,600 square feet and has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. It also has explosive city views.

Zak won't say what he plans to do with the house, but says it has a storied history beyond just the Manson murders. He says dogs have mysteriously disappeared from the property and occupants have been freaked out over what he says is paranormal activity.

Robert Giambalvo from Redfin realty has the listing.

Boxer Hugo Santillan Dead at 23 After In-Ring Injuries

Published

The boxing world is dealing with its second tragedy in one week -- 23-year-old fighter Hugo Santillan died in Argentina on Thursday after suffering injuries during his fight over the weekend.

Santillan fought Eduardo Javier Abreu for the WBC Latino Silver lightweight title in Buenos Aires on Saturday. The bout ended in a draw after 10 violent rounds -- but it was clear something was wrong.

Santillan collapsed in the ring as the announcer presented the results of the fight ... and doctors rushed to give him oxygen. He was stretchered out of the venue and taken to a nearby hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery for a clot in his brain.

The boxer went into cardiorespiratory failure twice before ultimately succumbing to his injuries.

The doctor who treated Santillan issued a statement ... saying, "Upon admission to the hospital, he had successive kidney failure and he did not come out of his coma."

"He had swelling of his brain and he never recovered consciousness. The swelling continued to worsen and it affected the functioning of the rest of his organs."

The super lightweight succumbed to his injuries on Thursday ... just 2 days after 28-year-old boxer Maxim Dadashev died from injuries he suffered during his fight on Friday.

"We join Hugo’s family and friends in grief, support and wish prompt resignation," the World Boxing Council said in a statement.

Santillan had a 19-6-2 record as a pro ... with 8 KOs.

The boxing world is reeling from the two tragedies ... earlier this week, Gennady Golovkin told us Maxim's death wasn't only tragic on a personal level, but was also terrible for the sport of boxing.

Now, with two deaths in the same week ... it seems the sport could be in a lot of trouble.
