Keith David Churches Need Security Checks Until Gov't Makes Changes
Keith David says the sad fact is places of worship have to increase security ... even if it means checking everyone at the door.
We got the "Greenleaf" star -- he plays Bishop Greenleef -- at LAX where he said checking worshipers just seems necessary now in the wake the mass shooting in Sutherland Springs ... at least until Congress passes some serious gun control legislation.
The way Keith sees it ... until mentally ill people are forbidden from owning guns, preachers and congregations need to help God help them.

Brett Ratner Hollywood's Still Got a Space for Him

Both men are facing multiple allegations of everything from harassment to rape and assault.

Dwight Yoakam Marilyn's Gun Prop Inappropriate, But It's the Price of Freedom
Dwight Yoakam thinks Marilyn Manson aiming a fake gun at concertgoers was "an inappropriate moment" -- but adds that kinda stunt is fair game in a nation as free as ours.
We got the country star Monday at LAX and he stopped short of ripping into Manson for his assault rifle prop at his show in San Bernardino ... scene of a 2015 mass shooting.
Manson chalked it up to his artistic expression ... and Dwight seemed to accept that, but made it clear he'd never pull that kinda thing.
He also talked about terrorism and the ongoing wave of gun violence in America -- and Dwight seems to think there's no way to put an end to it.

Nashville Predators Team Bus Ditches 2 Guys In Hollywood ... WAIT FOR US!!
Wanna see how fast ice hockey players can move on land?
You're in luck ... because when the Nashville Predators team bus left Catch LA restaurant without 2 guys ... they busted out the footspeed to stop their ride from ditching them!
The NHL team was celebrating Sunday night after beating the L.A. Kings the night before -- they were all in a good mood ... signing autographs and taking pics with fans.
But 2 guys were draggin' ass when it came time to leave ... so the bus took off without 'em. That's when the race was on!
Unclear who the guys are -- couldn't see their faces -- but don't worry, this story has a happy ending.

Kevin Spacey Still ONE Place That Likes Me In Hollywood ... For Now
Kevin Spacey's name is NOT mud in one West Hollywood hot spot, anyway ... on the wall at Catch LA.
Netflix has cut ties with him, and he might never appear on "House of Cards" again -- but Spacey's mug is still on the "It" restaurant's famous wall of celebrities. He's, ironically, placed just in front of the Dalai Lama and one over from Mr. Clean.
It's unclear if Catch plans to make a change. We're guessing NBA superstar Chris Paul, who's right next to Spacey on the wall ... would at least vote for relocation.

Marilyn Manson Points Fake Rifle At San Bernardino Concert Crowd
Marilyn Manson showed a shocking lack of empathy Sunday night as he pretended to spray the crowd with bullets from a fake semi-automatic weapon ... in a county that is still reeling from a mass shooting.
Marilyn --- in a wheelchair after a September injury that crushed his leg -- was performing at the Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino ... the city where a terrorist killed 14 people in December 2015.
Perhaps with that in mind -- and a penchant for controversial headlines -- Marilyn pulled out the fake rifle while performing "We Know Where You F****** Live."
A mic is attached to the scope of the rifle.
Disturbing as hell.

NOVEMBER 2017
6:01 PM PT -- Lamar's rep says he collapsed due to dehydration after an intense workout earlier in the day without the necessary fluids in his system. They also said it was very hot in the club, while adding ... he's "doing great."
Lamar Odom collapsed at his VIP booth at an L.A. nightclub early Sunday morning ... TMZ Sports has the video.
Odom was at Bootsy Bellows on the Sunset Strip when several staffers and patrons noticed the ex-NBA star collapsed to the ground around 2 AM. You can see security rush in to help and he seems to be conscious.
The person who shot the video tells TMZ Sports he saw Odom drinking for several hours before the incident.
The issue ... Odom has a serious history with substance abuse -- he almost died from a drug overdose at a brothel in 2015.
Odom has since gone to rehab and vowed to change his life -- but he's been partying a lot lately ... from strip clubs to nightclubs.
We've reached out to Odom for comment -- so far, no word back.

Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina Estate Settle Biopic Suit
Bobby Brown and the estate of Bobbi Kristina have reached a settlement with TV One over the dispute about the biopic on her life ... according to new legal docs.
We broke the story ... the estate joined forces with Brown in September to stop the biopic from airing. Bobby claimed the portrayal of him as a bad dad was defamatory, and Bobbi Kristina's estate claimed the show violated her right to privacy. It aired anyway last month on October 8.
It seems ... even though they weren't able to block the airing of the show, Brown and Bobbi's estate were able to score some cash in the settlement. They wanted more than $2 million in damages, but it's unclear how much they got.
According to the new docs ... the case is now dismissed.

NOVEMBER 2017
Andy Dick was off the rails Thursday night, threatening to grope a TMZ female photog, steadfastly refusing to apologize for allegedly sexually harassing people and talking about killing himself.

Selena Gomez Don't Mind Me ... Just Gonna Read This Kids' Book in Front of Paps
Selena Gomez is now reading to little kids ... and it looks staged AF.
The singer took a stroll Thursday at a park in Burbank where she arrived with a friend both wearing attire totally NOT conducive for a park visit. White booties? Really?!
Selena and her friend -- BTW, also wearing booties -- looked like they knew what they were there for ... to appear like little kids at heart and be moved by a little girl reading a book while sitting on the swing.
Sweet, but staged, don't you think?

Master P Here's Why I Talked To Tomi Lahren ... And Why I Had To
Master P says people need to stop trippin' out about his FOX News interview with Tomi Lahren -- telling TMZ Sports the mission was about peace and love ... not war.
The No Limit founder appeared on "Fox News Insider" this week to talk about everything from Trump to Kaepernick to Eminem ... but P got some backlash on social media from people who didn't like him affiliating with conservative Lahren.
Backstory -- some African-Americans view Tomi as an enemy since she went after Beyonce, Jay-Z, and the Black Lives Matter movement.
So, after P talked hoops on the "TMZ Sports" TV show ... Van asked about Tomi -- and P explained why it was super important to sit down with her and talk things out.

R. Kelly It's the Remix to Donations ... $100 to Homeless Or $1?
R. Kelly is the Houdini of street charity ... at least according to the homeless guy who claims Kelly pulled a fast one with a hundo -- but our video might prove otherwise.
Kellz was leaving State Social House Wednesday night in WeHo, and had a friendly run-in with a homeless man. He clearly hands him some dough, and the guy is clearly excited about the sum. The question ... what exactly did he hand him?
Our photog thought it was a $100 bill. The guy's face screams Benjamin too! The confusion came when we asked about the donation. The homeless dude confirms Kelly gave him something, but hilariously disses the singer at the same time.
Our best guess is the guy's trying to keep his $100 on the DL, but watch and decide for yourself.

O.J. Simpson If Bruce Jenner Wants to Be an Old Woman ... Good for Her!!!
O.J. Simpson's taking a transphobic shot at Caitlyn Jenner for her claim she and Kris Jenner knew damn well O.J. killed Nicole and Ron Goldman.
Simpson was out in Las Vegas when a photog asked him about Caitlyn's recent comments. At first, he said he's never met Caitlyn and claims he barely knew Bruce, despite the fact they vacationed together. Then he started jabbing.
Watch ... O.J. seems to think his comment is lighthearted, or even a joke.
We're guessing Caitlyn won't be laughing about it, and we're sure, after seeing this ... there's bad blood between the old friends.
Btw, O.J. also makes it clear he's loving the Vegas life.

We got Ne-Yo Wednesday at LAX and asked how he felt with baby #4 on the way with his current wife, Crystal Smith, and he says he's on cloud 9 ... especially since they apparently had complications with their first pregnancy.
As for the folks hating on him for expanding his brood after allegedly having his ex's tubes tied and then bailing on their engagement ... he's got a message for them too.
GO ... OVER THERE ... AWAY FROM ME.

O.J. Simpson Famous NFL Slasher for Halloween!!! Trick or Treat, Kids?
O.J. Simpson. Scariest. Halloween. Costume. Ever.
Yes, O.J. actually greeted trick-or-treaters at the Las Vegas home where he's been living since getting out of prison -- and he even dressed up for the occasion. Sorta. Simpson grabbed one of his old Buffalo Bills jerseys -- maybe one he's planning to hawk online.
He did cut through more NFL defenses than Freddy Krueger in that #32.
Doesn't look like O.J. handed out candy, but he did take selfies and sign autographs. More evidence of what we reported ... neighbors are welcoming him with open arms, and apparently their kids are too.
Still, way scarier out of the jersey if ya ask us.
