Cuba Gooding Jr. I've Never Run a Prison But OJ Should See My Show

Published | Updated

Cuba Gooding Jr. doesn't claim to know prison rules ... but he seems to want everyone -- including OJ Simpson -- to watch his Emmy-nominated show.

We got Cuba leaving a pre-Emmy party Friday night at the Pacific Design Center in WeHo and asked about prison rules when it comes to watching certain shows.

Cuba's a big contender and maybe even the frontrunner for his role as OJ in People vs. OJ Simpson.

We got OJ's real lawyer Friday outside Bristol Farms in Bev Hills, and he was critical of John Travolta -- who played him -- for not bothering to even meet him before the cameras rolled.

As for whether Shapiro will congratulate Travolta if he wins an Emmy ...

Harambe Forever Memorialized ... By Stoners

Published | Updated

Harambe's legacy lives on ... thanks to potheads.

The gorilla that was shot and killed at the Cincinnati Zoo back in May now has his own marijuana wax -- Harambe OG.

The wax -- a THC concentrate similar to hash -- was created for Natural Remedies, a Colorado dispensary.

The lab manager who made the wax tells us he was blanking on a name, but became inspired by the products in the mix -- Gorilla Glue #4, Deadhead OG and Angel OG.

Gorilla + Dead + Angel. Ergo, Harambe.

Harambe OG was just released this week, and it's already selling like hotcakes.

Playmate Dani Mathers Not Interested in Learning from Her Mistakes ... Anti-bullying Org Claims

Published | Updated

Dani Mathers cozied up to an anti-cyberbullying group after her despicable body shaming incident in an L.A. gym, but went radio silent when it came time to do any work ... according to the organization.

Cure the Hate tells TMZ they first reached out to Mathers after she made headlines for posting a photo of the unsuspecting woman -- but only heard back when police turned up the heat on her.

TMZ broke the story ... cops found Mathers' victim and earlier this month recommended she be prosecuted. Cure the Hate says that's when Mathers said she wanted to partner up ... but they now believe it was just lip service.

The org says they followed up with her 7 times, but never heard a peep. Cure the Hate thinks Mathers' actions, or lack thereof, show she's not serious about making good after the incident.

We reached out to her, but never heard back.

Interestingly, after we called Mathers she finally called Cure the Hate on Friday ... only to say she was taking a pass.

Benihana Sued Sushi Chefs Can Split Fish ... But Not Tips!

Published | Updated

A Benihana waiter says he got screwed out of his tips by having to cut in the cooks behind the counter -- and far from woking it back, he's suing.

The server who filed the class action suit claims he was forced to fork over tons of his hard-earned tips to sushi chefs at his NY restaurant ... for 8 years!

He claims he lost around $80 every week from '08-'16 -- which comes out to a little over $33k. He also says his restaurant's alleged practice of splitting front of house tips with back of house employees violates labor laws.

The suit claims there's a helluva lot more employees who might have been stiffed too, and invites 'em to hop on for a payout.

We reached out to Benihana ... so far, no word back.

L.A. Rams' T.J. McDonald Charged with DUI

Published | Updated

L.A. Rams safety T.J. McDonald just took a hit ... the L.A. City Attorney's Office is charging him with non-alcohol related DUI ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported, the 25-year-old was arrested on May 10th after crashing into a parked car. Law enforcement sources tell us they believe medication was involved.

The City Attorney charged McDonald with one count of driving under the influence of drugs. Still no word on what the drug or drugs.

He's facing up to 6 months jail time if convicted -- but it's extremely rare for a first-time DUI offender, like McDonald, to get locked up.

Neither the NFL nor the Rams have disciplined him yet.

Eric Stonestreet Selling L.A. Starter Home For $1 Million

Published | Updated

Eric Stonestreet's getting rid of his L.A. starter home now that he's reportedly making $10 million a year on "Modern Family," and the sale is sure to put more money in his well-lined pockets.

The 2 bedroom, 2 bath Studio City home is up for grabs for $1.099 million. Not bad, considering Eric bought the pad for $735,000 in 2008, before he got the "Modern Family" gig.

There's a galley kitchen, a large living space with exposed beams and a large outdoor patio, but the place could use some updates.

Eric listed the property with Tina Smith. We're told he's been renting it out for a while, which could explain the decor and the need for a new paint job.
