You Might Want to Rethink

Lil Wayne done gone country as a member of Little Big Town, at least that's what the good people at the American Music Awards think ... TMZ has learned.

Clearly, somebody done screwed up and sources familiar with the blunder tell us Weezy just got 5 AMAs! The only problem is 4 of them don't belong to him ... they're for the hit-making country music band.

Now, LBT did win 4 trophies at last year's award show, while Wayne took home one. It's pretty clear what happened here -- just a Lil mix-up.

We're told Wayne did receive his actual AMA trophy -- Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Song for "I'm the One" -- but the people really getting screwed here are Little Big Town.

Our sources say the band's awards are still at Casa de Weezy, because he and his team -- especially Young Money Prez Mack Maine -- have no clue who to contact to get the hardware to LBT.

Wayne's just not that plugged in to the country world, but we see an opportunity here.

Camille Hyde says she's seen blackface used on the set of some productions ... and it makes people uncomfortable.

We got the "American Vandal" star Wednesday in L.A.'s Larchmont Village neighborhood where we asked for her thoughts on a young actor stand-in being darkened to match the complexion of Keith L. Williams in "Good Boys"... which upset some members of the crew.

Camille says the practice of using makeup to make a stand-in match the actor's skin color isn't totally unheard of -- in fact, she tells us she's seen it done herself.

As for how it was handled ... Camille says the issue was brought up then -- much like it's being brought up now -- and believes speaking your truth is the best way to address it.

Travis Scott removed a very famous trans model from his "Astroworld" album cover, and although she's publicly taking it in stride ... Travis is getting some backlash that hints at bigotry.

Amanda Lepore tells TMZ she was simply too good looking to make Travis' final cut, saying, "A girl can't help it! I'm too distracting for the eyes! I upstaged everyone in the photograph!" She adds ... "Oh well ... I love David LaChapelle and Travis Scott! Love and kisses."

Amanda's jokey answer echoes what artist LaChapelle said when asked why the final version differed from the one he shot. He's said Amanda "just upstaged every one" and that she "knows the T."

LaChapelle wanted to make it clear, though, that Travis' omission had "nothing to do with hating." What's odd is neither he nor Travis has seriously explained the edit -- and some people online are now accusing the rapper of being transphobic.

The filmmakers behind an upcoming comedy used makeup to darken the face of a child actor's stand-in -- a la "blackface" -- but the film's production company says it's common practice.

Sources connected to the film, "Good Boys" -- produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg -- tell TMZ ... 11-year-old Keith L. Williams' stand-in was on set last week in Vancouver, and wearing dark brown makeup on his face.

We're told the stand-in was also rocking an afro wig and fitted in a fat suit. Williams was on a break at the time, but our sources say the sight of his stand-in was upsetting to at least one person on set.

Other sources connected to the production company, Good Universe, tell us it's "not uncommon for lighting purposes to match actors' skin tones" ... and they insist this is not a blackface situation.

We've spoken to others in the industry who say their experience is, rather than using makeup, casting directors typically make a point of hiring stand-ins who match the actors' complexions.

We're told "Good Boys" producers were aware someone had filed a complaint, and they were in the process of addressing the grievance.

For the record, we're told the stand-in is a light-skinned African-American kid.

8/1 -- A judge has granted the orders in part, and has ruled 4 of the 5 individuals must stop communicating with him and keep their distance. The judge did deny Feldman's request to block the individuals from mentioning him on social media.

In the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Feldman claims the trolls have been working with Judy Haim, Corey Haim's mother.

Corey Feldman isn't waiting for LAPD to conclude its investigation into what he calls serious threats on his life -- he's requesting court-ordered protection.

Feldman filed for requests for restraining orders against 5 individuals he claims are harassing him online. TMZ broke the story ... Corey already went to cops over a barrage of Twitter threats he's received. One said, "If longing to see @Corey_Feldman get gangraped in prison is wrong, I don't want to be right." Police now have search warrants to track down the people behind some of the threats.

In the new docs, one of the alleged harassers matches up with a name in the search warrants -- so, this seems like Corey's covering all his bases here by filing for the restraining orders.

Another one of the people Corey names is a woman who played in his backing band, The Angels.

Gotta respect Tamra Judge's hot tub game -- get drunk, get naked and dive right in, baby! She just sucks hard at sticking the landing.

The 'Real Housewives of Orange County' crew was down in Mexico on Monday night's episode, and things got pretty wild when Tamra and Shannon Beador decided to hop in the tub. Tamra just decided to do it in the nude.

Like we said, she's got hot tub game! TJ even flaunted her bod outside the tub, but watch ... the plot twist came when she tried to jump back into it, apparently breaking her foot.

Ever wanted to get a whiff of Charles Manson's piss? Zak Bagans says now you can, 'cause he bought a canvas the murderer painted and hated so much he pissed all over it.

The “Ghost Adventures” star tells TMZ he dropped $2,500 for the artwork and claims the person who sold him the painting says Manson himself created the work while in prison ... but hated it and peed all over it. Manson was pissed off, if you will. (Sorry, not sorry).

Zak says he bought the painting from the same dude who sold him Manson's chompers. And, get this ... he says the painting STILL smells like urine. It'll soon be available in Zak's "Murderbilia" exhibit at his infamous haunted museum in Vegas.

The poor sap who tried selling a piece of Donald Trump's Hollywood Walk of Fame star on eBay just had his get-rich-quick dreams shattered ... without a pickax.

A rep for eBay tells TMZ the user's post violated the company's "Other Illegal Activity" provision -- which prohibits the sale of items or links to items that encourage, promote, facilitate, or instruct others to engage in illegal activities.

In layman's terms: vandalism is illegal, so ya can't make a quick buck off it here!

We broke the story ... the eBay user was trying to hawk a tiny remnant of Trump's star after Austin Clay obliterated it with a pickax. His minimum bid was $500, but he's crap outta luck now.

The world's top modeling agencies screw their famous clients by urging them into surgery, cramming them into apartments and controlling their dating lives ... according to a new lawsuit.

Model Louisa Raske filed a class action lawsuit against Major Model Management, Wilhelmina, Next, Elite and other top tier agencies claiming the companies instructed models to undergo medical procedures for weight loss and to attain the all-important thigh gap.

In the suit, she also says the agencies tried to run their social lives. For instance, a model named Eleni Tzimas says she was told by Elite to attend high-profile events because people like Donald Trump would be there. Another claims her agency encouraged her to break-up with her bf, who was in the military, so she could date an "a-list celebrity or professional athlete."

Personally, Raske says her agency, Next, used one of her shots on a L'Oreal hair product without ever paying her. She eventually got paid $31k, but insists she was owed more.

Another model, Marcelle Almonte, says her agency, MC2 Models, crammed her into a 2-bedroom Miami apartment with at least 8 other models, and charged $1,850 per month. Doesn't sound like that much, except market value on the place was only $3,300 per month.

'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn was done dirty by America's politically charged court of public opinion ... according to Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Zoe Saldana and the rest of the 'GotG' stars.

The cast posted an open letter in support of Gunn, who Disney fired from the franchise in response to old tweets where he made several highly inappropriate jokes. In the letter they vouch for his character, accept his apology and hint Disney only canned him because it feared public backlash.

They wrote, "There is little due process in the court of public opinion. Given the growing political divide in this country, it's safe to say instances like this will continue." They went on to urge Americans to "ease up on the character assassinations and stop weaponizing mob mentality."

Demi Moore trolled the hell outta Bruce Willis with a Harvey Weinstein joke at his 'Roast' that might have some people asking ... too soon?

The actress made a surprise appearance at her ex-husband's "Comedy Central Roast" -- which aired Sunday night -- and joked Bruce was one of the disgraced studio mogul's victims.

The setup started with Demi giving Bruce props for doing an Indie movie, "Pulp Fiction," which happened to be produced by Weinstein. Then came the punch line ... which drew laughs, but also shock from others onstage -- Kevin Pollak winced and Cybill Shepherd's jaw literally dropped.

There were intense protests Thursday night on the Hollywood Walk of Fame ... specifically next to Donald Trump's star.

The battle was drawn early ... Trump supporters on one side, opponents on the other. Singer/songwriter Joy Villa, a Trump supporter -- who wore a pro-life dress with a fetus emblazoned on it to the Grammys -- sang the national anthem.

Two protesters then squared off -- arguing over use of the n-word and that's what triggered the brawl.

You see one protester kick another squarely in the head as he's on the ground.

Miraculously, no one got arrested.

Sacha Baron Cohen is unfairly making the citizens of Kingman, Arizona look like a bunch of backwater racists ... according to the city's mayor.

Mayor Monica Gates tells us last week's episode of "Who Is America?" is total BS because she doesn't think it was even shot in her city. She says she doesn't recognize the venue or any of the people in the room.

The segment was supremely unflattering to Kingman -- a disguised Sacha told the roomful of citizens the world's largest mosque outside of the Middle East was going to be built there. The reaction ranged from hilarious to scarily racist ... not only against Muslims.

As for the people in the room NOT being legit Kingman residents? Some of the people who got duped sounded off afterward, and we checked the names that were public -- they DO live there.

Check out why Mayor Gates says there's no need for a new mosque in her city, anyway. It's not what you think.

The founder of Papa John's is feeling burned by his former company ... and he's demanding some answers from the pizza giant's board of directors.

John Schnatter filed a lawsuit in Delaware Thursday to get Papa John's to disclose all documents related to its response to him using the n-word. Schnatter wants to see the docs, "because of the unexplained and heavy-handed way in which the company has treated him since the publication of a story that falsely accused him of using a racial slur."

In the suit, Schnatter says it's impossible the board took an appropriate amount of time to make informed decisions ... which included terminating certain business agreements.

As we reported ... he resigned as chairman of Papa John's International, and also left the University of Louisville's Board of Trustees, after he was called out for using the n-word on a conference call in May. Schnatter insists reports falsely characterized the way he used the word.

Sean Spicer's new book and subsequent book tour did not go over well in New York this week -- at least according to this heckler ... who called him "garbage" 3 different ways.

President Trump's former Press Secretary is making the rounds for his new publication, "The Briefing," and showed up for a book signing Wednesday at Barnes & Noble in NYC.

Almost immediately ... he got called out by a guy in the crowd.

The man interrupts a line of questioning from the event's moderator to call Sean a "real piece of garbage" ... which spurred shocked and angry reactions from other audience members. Security intervened and escorted the dude out, but not before a few more "garbage" shots.

Omarosa is going all 'Fire and Fury' on Donald Trump, because the publisher of her upcoming book says it's "explosive" and "jaw-dropping."

The former Trump adviser signed with Gallery Books ... this after appearing on "Celebrity Big Brother" and ominously warning housemates, "It's not gonna be okay."

Omarosa was fired from her White House job after a blowup at a White House holiday party.
