Kim Kardashian Back on Home Turf ... Totally Low Key
Kim Kardashian is finally back in Los Angeles ... safe and sound with her 2 kids.
Kim cradled Saint -- who's too freakin' adorable -- while her mom, Kris Jenner, carried North off the private jet they took Thursday from NYC to L.A. Looks like Kanye West stayed behind on the east coast ... he's resuming his tour Friday night.
As we first reported, Kim's pulling back on flaunting her wealth -- and she was clearly understated when she touched down.
As much as you can be while stepping off a G4.

Larry the Cable Guy Snaps Guy's Arm
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 1 shares
This is NOT what Larry the Cable Guy meant by "Git-R-Done" -- but he damn near broke his opponent's limb in half during an arm wrestling competition.
The video is intense to say the least -- and it went down at the University of Nebraska football game last Saturday in Lincoln. Larry, a huge Huskers fan, and the guy -- an army vet named John -- were in a luxury suite, and we're told John challenged the comedian.
Just watch, it's a very close competition. Until it isn't ... and John's arm breaks.
We're told he had surgery to put a plate in his arm, and he's as okay as he can be today.
Fittingly, he broke his humerus bone. Yes, the funny bone.
JonBenet Ramsey Bro Sues Investigator From TV Special ... CBS Lawsuit to Follow
JonBenét Ramsey's brother is suing one of the forensic experts featured in the CBS documentary which theorized he killed his kid sister nearly 20 years ago.
Burke Ramsey filed the suit against Dr. Werner Spitz, but not for his comments on the CBS special, "The Case of: JonBenet Ramsey." Instead, Burke is going after the doctor for a radio interview he did with CBS Detroit ... in which Spitz said, "It's the boy who did it [killed JonBenet], whether he was jealous, or mentally unfit or something ... I don't know of the why, I'm not a psychiatrist, but what I am sure about is what I know about him, that is what happened here."
In the docs, Burke says Spitz has a history of making false statements as it applies to the "brutal murder of young girls." He points to a separate case about a 2-year-old where the judge called Spitz' testimony "not useful or credible."
He's suing Spitz for defamation and seeking at least $150 million in damages, and a retraction.
As TMZ first reported, Burke's attorney, L. Lin Wood, promised they would also be suing CBS for the documentary. Wood told Business Insider that one will be filed later this month.

Jay Z 'Lemonade' Response Will Be a World Tour According to Ticket Agency
2:25 PM PT -- A Roc Nation rep gave us this reply to the world tour email: "This is ridiculous." That's as specific as the rep got.
Jay Z is gonna clap back at Beyonce's "Lemonade" album with a world tour of his own ... if a high-end ticket broker is right.
We've seen an email the company sent out to its top customers, which says, "Hear Jay Z's response to Lemonade during his highly anticipated 2017 world tour." The email goes on to mention specific cities Jay will play, and promises to deliver the "best seats in the house."
Here's the thing ... it's been rumored for months Jigga was going to respond musically to Bey's lyrics about "Becky with the good hair" and the cheating allegations that came out of her last record.
The timing would be perfect -- her Formation World Tour closes Friday night in NJ.
On the other hand ... seems odd for a ticket company to know about HOV's content before he releases details. He's a marketing genius, and releasing the deets through Tidal seems more his speed.
Still ... leaks happen. We've got a call in to Jay's people.
Stay tuned ...

Check out the vid ... Norman doesn't need to be in Daryl Dixon mode to slay.
This isn't the first time Anthrax and 'TWD' have been connected, either ... guitarist Scott Ian put on some gruesome makeup to play a walker in a season 5 episode. He got offed.

Scott Patterson Gives 'Gilmore Girls' Fans A Genuine Luke
Scott Patterson served up more than coffee to fans who showed up in Bev Hills to celebrate "Gilmore Girls" like it was the early 2000s again.
The actor made a surprise appearance for 'GG' fans at Comoncy cafe, which was turned into a pop-up Luke's Diner to promote the upcoming new season on Netflix. Scott quickly learned the frenzy for Luke Danes is still very real.
More than 200 locations across the country were transformed into the fictional restaurant, but Scott only hit up this one. Don't worry ... his handlers kept him safe from the resurgent sea of fans.
This bodes well for Netflix viewership.

Kim Kardashian is pulling out even more big guns for her new security detail ... as if Pascal Duvier wasn't enough mountain of a man.
Kim and Kanye West were seen in public with Saint and North in NYC Thursday morning ... the first time they've been out since the robbery. They were flanked by new men in black ... for increased protection.
Pascal's still in the mix. As we reported ... Kim doesn't blame him for what happened -- but it's obvious she's taking a seriously new approach to keeping herself and her family safe.
Disney World Matthew Wins ... We're Closing!
Matthew - 1
Mickey - 0
Disney World is making the monumental decision to shut its doors as Hurricane Matthew barrels into Florida ... TMZ has learned.
We're told the Orlando park will close down at 5 PM Thursday, but expects to open again Saturday morning. That's the plan ... but you gotta think that all depends on the damage.
Matthew's category 4 winds are expected to start tearing through South and Central Florida Thursday afternoon. Disney World has closed 3 previous times for hurricanes: once in 1999 (Floyd) and twice in 2004 (Frances and Jeanne).
Universal Orlando is also shutting down today, and also expects to find a way to open by Saturday.
Story developing ...

Kim Kardashian Video of Robbers Hits Dead End
There's video of the robbers fleeing Kim Kardashian's Paris apartment alright, but it doesn't show squat ... TMZ has learned.
Paris law enforcement sources tell us ... they have looked frame by frame at video recorded across the street from Kim's apartment, showing images of the robbers fleeing the scene.
The video is not a direct shot ... you see the robbers on a reflection of glass in a shopping area.
Here's what it shows ... the robbers were fleeing on bicycles. Problem is ... there's no way to distinguish any facial features. We're told the images are so blurry you can't even tell if the robbers are still wearing masks.
As for suspects ... we're told cops have their eye on at least one person.

Britney Spears Infamous Umbrella Meltdown Recreated with a Few Kinks
The new Britney Spears biopic for Lifetime is shooting in Vancouver, and fans have already noticed they screwed up one major scene -- the umbrella meltdown.
It was a pivotal moment during that period leading up to Britney's mental breakdown, and many people remember it vividly. In real life, she hopped out of a silver sedan and swung wildly at a paparazzo at a gas station, but the movie's clearly taking some creative license.
You can see in the video, movie Brit is surrounded by dozens of photogs on a busy street, and hops into a convertible. May seem minor, but the biopic doesn't have the blessing of Spears' camp ... so there's already controversy surrounding the project.
At least they got the shaved head thing right.

Mike Tyson Documentary Photog Sues Filmmakers ... You Bit My Work, Now I'm Biting Back
The producers of a Mike Tyson documentary straight-up jacked photos from the Tyson-Holyfield bout for the film ... so claims the photographer in a new lawsuit.
Famed boxing photographer Teddy Blackburn says Xenon Pictures stole 4 of his shots from Tyson's infamous ear-biting 1997 fight against Evander Holyfield.
Xenon released the documentary in 2004 but, according to docs, never bothered to ask Blackburn for his permission to use the photos. Important note ... none of the photos are of Tyson's bite.
Blackburn's suing for a cut of the profits and other damages.
A spokesperson for Xenon Pictures tells TMZ ... the company licensed the film from a production company in the UK and says the licensor "fully warranted that all material used in the program (including the photos allegedly belonging to the plaintiff) were properly purchased."

Beyonce Keeping It Caszh
Beyonce only has one stop left on her Formation tour, but her wardrobe this week looks like she's already slipped into full vacay mode.
Bey rocked a relaxed look for 3 straight days around Manhattan. Still looks flawless, of course ... but she seems to be sending subliminal messages with some of those handbags.
It's worth repeating ... Jay Z is a lucky guy.

Chris Brown Of Course the Gun Case is BS
Chris Brown was a man of few words Wednesday night, but it didn't take many to show his disdain for authorities who arrested him in a gun case that has fallen apart.
Chris was on his way into Catch when he made it clear ... he's confident the gun arrest will not stick. As we reported, the case is going nowhere ... cops got a second extension to complete an investigation that really begins and ends with a very shaky alleged victim.
By the way, speaking of Catch ... it's the new Craig's -- everyone's going there. Hollywood's nothing if not predictable ... a few celebs eat somewhere and it takes a minute for the rest to follow.
It's also really good.
