You Might Want to Rethink

The "waterboard kit" Sacha Baron Cohen got former Vice President Dick Cheney to sign for his new show has apparently hit the digital marketplace ... and bids are coming in fast.

A new eBay listing purports to be selling the original empty milk jug a disguised Sacha asked the ex-Veep to personally autograph in his new Showtime series, "Who Is America?"

The highest bid so far (as of this writing) tops out at $160.50. The listing claims all proceeds from the sale will be donated to Amnesty International -- a grassroots human rights org.

Hard to tell if this is the real McCoy, or if it's just more trolling in the name of Sacha's show -- which has already duped the likes of Sarah Palin and countless other GOP officials. Whatever the case ... it's funny to think about. The thing also looks pretty legit.

The "Guardians of the Galaxy" series needs a new director ... Disney just fired James Gunn over a bunch of horrifically offensive tweets from years ago.

Gunn made comments about 911, AIDS, the Holocaust and rape. In one of the since-deleted tweets he said, "The best thing about being raped is when you're done being raped and it's like 'whew this feels great, not being raped!'"

In another he said, "I like when little boys touch me in my silly place." The Daily Caller first published the tweets.

Disney Chairman Alan Horn said Gunn's tweets "are indefensible and inconsistent with our studio's values, and we have severed our business relationship with him."

Gunn had already directed 2 'Guardians' films and was in the middle of prepping to start shooting the third in a few months.

Roseanne Barr let out a primal scream with one of her many explanations for the racist tweet targeted at Valerie Jarrett ... "I THOUGHT THE BITCH WAS WHITE!!!!!"

Roseanne was being interviewed about her comment, comparing former Obama White House staffer Valerie Jarrett to an ape. ABC quickly fired her, cancelled her show and then re-rebooted it as "The Connors."

The interviewer, Roseanne's 40-year-old-son Jake, is asking her about a prior video in which it sounds like Roseanne had worn multiple outfits. Roseanne listened to Jake as she manically puffed away on a cig, clearly agitated.

That's when she lets out the primal scream ... twice.

Up to now, she's tried apologizing to both Jarrett -- who is African-American -- and America for her comment, saying it was a stupid comment made while on Ambien and accepting the blame.

Cal Poly don't play when it comes to hate speech -- the University just REVOKED a scholarship for a star high school wrestler who was caught on camera using a homophobic slur while holding a Donald Trump campaign sign.

The wrestling star is 18-year-old Bronson Harmon -- who scored a medal in the California CIF State finals and earned himself a scholarship to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.

But now he's more famous for a 31-second video -- featuring Bronson and his father protesting at a Keep Families Together rally in Modesto on June 30.

Bronson was holding a Trump 2016 sign -- when he walked by immigrant rights protesters ... turned to a camera and yelled, "Fuck you f****t."

Another man -- reportedly Bronson's father -- screams, "Send their asses back."

Bronson allegedly shoved a man into a tree during that same protest.

The video was posted on social media and went viral -- eventually Cal Poly saw the clip and revoked his scholarship.

Bronson told the San Luis Obispo Tribune, "I totally regret it [the slur] ... I got caught up in the heat of the moment."

"I was there to peacefully protest the things that we believe, and people were harassing us, spitting on us and calling us Nazis."

Tekashi69 is going where no one's seemingly gone before when it comes to the chain game -- not only did he spend $95k on some new bling, but he added human hair to it!

The NYC rapper just threw down for a "My Little Pony" chain covered in VVS diamonds. The pendant alone cost $45k, while the chain was $50k, but the real eye-catcher is the mane ... which came from Tekashi's own colorful mop. Tekashi even had his hairdresser style it.

The owners of SHOP GLD in Miami tell us he ordered it a few weeks ago, but called them Tuesday saying he needed it for the new music video he's shooting with Nicki Minaj.

A limited batch of a smaller version of the chain will be available for fans, but we're guessing those will NOT include 6ix9ine's hair.

The marriage of Stevie J and Faith Evans didn't just take us by surprise ... their loved ones and close friends were blindsided as well, and they're not happy about it.

Family sources on both sides tell TMZ ... they were never given a heads-up marriage was even a possibility.

We're told there was never talk -- not a hint -- of a wedding. Faith was scheduled to be in L.A. getting ready for a London trip, and Stevie was just in Atlanta for 'Love & Hip Hop' ... so the Vegas rendezvous that ended in "I do" floored everyone.

Our sources say there are a lot of hurt feelings among those close to the couple ... especially their kids. We're told Faith's son, CJ Wallace -- her child with Biggie Smalls -- is especially upset ... because he's also Stevie's godson.

Family sources on Faith's side tell us ... Faith told them Stevie J went to her Tuesday and told her they needed to get married that day. The sources think Stevie J knew if Faith started telling friends and family she was marrying him, they would talk her out of it.

And, get this ... friends and family members were blowing up Faith's phone Wednesday, asking her why she did it. She responded by sending them a song she just recorded with Stevie J called, "A Minute" with the explanation ... it only took a minute to fall in love.

As we reported ... Faith and Stevie tied the knot in their hotel room around 10:30 PM Tuesday. It's his first marriage and her third.

"Little Women: LA" star Briana Renee is supporting "Big Brother" houseguest JC Mounduix's decision to compare the n-word to an epithet for little people, but says his message got lost in his delivery.

JC caught hell Tuesday night from another houseguest -- who's black -- when he used the n-word in an analogy about the m-word. As he put it, "midget" is like "gay and f***ot or n***er and black."

Briana says JC is dead on, because the m-word was a derogatory term used for little people in the circus back in the day, and remains a sensitive subject ... just like the n-word.

A former "Big Brother" houseguest says it's no big deal JC Mounduix dropped the n-word ... because he was just answering a question honestly.

Devin Shepherd, from 'BB16,' tells TMZ ... he doesn't think JC had bad intentions, and was merely defending himself. JC, who's 4'8" ... used the slur while trying to explain -- to a black houseguest -- the difference between the words "midget" and "dwarf."

Fellow houseguest, Bayleigh, who is black -- was pissed and warned JC to never use the word again. However, Devin says JC's outburst is no worse than stuff President Trump says on a daily basis.

Shepherd strongly suggests the country's got bigger fish to fry than a slip of the tongue in the 'BB' house.

"Big Brother" houseguest JC Mounduix hurled a couple of nasty epithets Tuesday night -- in front of a black houseguest -- while trying to explain how NOT to offend people. No joke.

JC, who stands 4'8" tall, was trying to explain the difference between the words "midget" and "dwarf" ... and told Bayleigh Dayton, who's black, it's like "gay and f***ot or ni**er and black."

The lesson did NOT go over well with Bayleigh, who quickly reacted in anger.

This isn't the first time a 'BB' houseguest has gone there. Kaitlyn Herman dropped the n-word earlier this month while singing a Drake lyric, and that was AFTER producers had warned them about offensive language. Oh, and there were the two women who said their tans made 'em "look ghetto."

Drake and his driver got an earful from an Uber driver who went ballistic after Drizzy's driver apparently dinged his car ... and it's all on video.

The "In My Feelings" rapper was arriving at Delilah in WeHo on Tuesday night ... on his way inside, you hear someone howl from a distance, "F***ing idiot." Drizzy stops dead in his tracks.

Our camera guy quickly figures out what all the ruckus is about ... the driver is chewing out Drake's muscle/driver for allegedly swinging his door open, right into the Uber.

Kim Basinger held a photo of dead dogs skinned and hanging on hooks to protest the dog meat trade in Korea, but Priscilla Presley took it a step further ... by holding an actual dead canine.

We talked to Kim at the protest, which went down in L.A. Tuesday at the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea, and she says the demonstration is about speaking out against what's wrong ... and killing dogs is definitely wrong.

She admits the dog meat trade has been part of Korean culture, especially with the older generation in S. Korea ... but she thinks it's time for a change.

The protest itself got very graphic. Basinger and many others from the group Last Chance for Animals held signs with disturbing images reading "Stop Dog Meat" ... while Presley and a few other women looked to be holding dead animals.

Other celebs at the protest included Donna D'Errico and EG Daily and Basinger's boyfriend, Mitch Stone. There were also 2 more protests in D.C. and Seoul.

The poor dead dogs were reportedly recently euthanized and provided by a local L.A. vet for "shock factor."

Donald Trump's doing something a tad out of the ordinary for him -- taking back a comment he made ... but only after saying his message SHOULD have been obvious.

The Prez just issued a clarification after siding with Vladimir Putin over the U.S. intelligence community, claiming it was all a big misunderstanding because he flubbed a single word ... by saying "would" when he really meant "wouldn't."

We've all been there ... right?

Trump wants to make it clear now -- he fully supports the intelligence community's conclusion that Russia meddled in the 2016 election ... though he still believes it had no influence on the result, and suggests maybe they weren't alone.

What President Trump said publicly with Vladimir Putin standing next to him was so shocking it begs the question -- what kinda dirt does Putin have on Trump? That's what Rep. Ted Lieu wants to know.

We got the California Congressman on Capitol Hill Tuesday and he thinks what happened is obvious ... when Trump sold out the U.S. intelligence community by siding with Putin.

Missed it by thaaaat much.

Actually, James Harrison missed his easy 10-foot putt by about thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat much.

The ex-Steelers linebacker took a break from hittin' the weights to hit the links Tuesday (for charity!) ... and it's clear he's better at pumpin' iron than swingin' it.

Besides the terrible putt at Pelican Hill Golf Club in Newport Beach -- the 40-year-old also completely missed his drive on 13 ... with the ball still chillin' on the tee as he was firmly in his backswing.

The upshot ... Harrison's in town for the ESPYs and is putting a spotlight on raising money for the V Foundation -- the cancer research organization founded by Jim Valvano.

Wiz Khalifa doesn't feel like he has to apologize if Koreans are offended with his new song, and his reasoning is basically the ole, "I have black friends" ... except, y'know.

The rapper was on "The Breakfast Club" Tuesday, when Charlamagne tha God asked if he had any response to criticism he's getting over his new song, "Hot Now." Specifically, the lyric "Smoke got my eyes lookin' Korean" ... is pissing off some people.

Wiz said he's already gotten a pass on that lyric, plus he "loves Asians" ... so it's all good.

Wiz added that his music is open to interpretation ... and he's cool with it if some people get angry. While he's at it, he points out there are a few other groups that should be ticked off about "Hot Now."

Christian Slater's throwing a jab at President Trump for the summit with Vladimir Putin, but not for his words ... this one's all about spending $300k on the summit.

We got the "Mr. Robot" star in D.C. Tuesday and he quickly shared his thoughts on the story we broke -- the administration's six-figure tab at the Helsinki summit. For the record, the full amount was $302,124.62.
