Jim Carrey Sued For Wrongful Death By Ex-Girlfriend's Mom

Published | Updated

Jim Carrey has been slapped with a lawsuit by the mother of his ex-girlfriend, claiming she OD'd after she realized he had given her 3 STDs and when she confronted him he dumped her.

Cathriona White's mom, Brigid Sweetman, claims in a new lawsuit ... Jim did more than just infect her. The suit alleges he shamed her by calling her a "whore" and threatened her with the help of "fixers" who tried to silence her.

Sweetman says in the suit her daughter learned from a doctor in 2013 she had contracted 2 types of herpes and chlamydia. Sweetman says Carrey was first dismissive and then claimed she contracted any disease she might have from someone else.

The mom says when her daughter persisted, Carrey ended the relationship and said, "You have become too much drama."

According to the lawsuit, the "fixers" scared her daughter into silence. The suit claims Cathriona struggled emotionally before OD'ing on Ambien, Propranolol and Percocet. The drugs were allegedly Carrey's ... the prescription filled under a pseudonym.

We reached out to Carrey's people ... so far no comment.

Kim Kardashian Robbery Costume Backlash ... 'Pathetic' & 'Disgusting'

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian will have to relive the trauma of the Paris robbery come Halloween, thanks to a new costume, which a ton of people are calling a "disgusting" cheap joke.

Costumeish.com's "Parisian Heist Robbery Victim Costume Kit" includes a short white robe, black wig, "$4 million" ring, sunglasses, a gag and a rope ... all for $69.99.

The getup is as controversial as it is timely ... which explains the wave of negative product reviews:

- "What kind of sociopathic a****** makes someones trauma a f***** COSTUME?!"
- "You should be ashamed of yourselves you sick f***s. Hope you get robbed at gunpoint so you psychopaths know how it feels. Pathetic."
- "This is ridiculous. Are you going to have a Brock Turner costume with optional dumpster and passed out girl?"

Costumeish founder Johnathon Weeks tells TMZ ... he expected backlash, but pop culture's become a huge part of Halloween. This is the same company that did Cecil the Lion and Caitlyn Jenner costumes ... so this is just par for the course.

Ron White Prefers Boxers Over Briefs ... Irons Over Woods

Published | Updated

Ron White is a calm, cool and collected comedian when he's onstage, but if you vandalize his tour bus in the middle of the night ... he becomes a half naked maniac who'll chase you down with a golf club.

TMZ got this photo of White apparently coming after a guy who was doing the dirty deed. Underwear? Don't care ... and we're told he pulled a gap wedge out of his golf bag, Elin Nordegren style.

As we reported ... a man was arrested after he sideswiped Ron's bus with his truck. The guy was cited by cops, but he became enraged and started kicking the bus, denting it.

Ron wasn't having it, and summed it all up to us like this ... "Don't f*** with me when I've been drinking."

Noted.

Kim Kardashian Robbery Goes on the Attack! Sues Over Claims She Lied

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian's calling out a media outlet ... Tom Cruise style ... suing for published stories that accuse her of lying about the whole Paris robbery.

Kim just filed a federal lawsuit against MediaTakeOut.com for 3 posts about her ordeal ... one of which alleged there was evidence Kim "staged" the robbery. In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Kim says the site used random people off social media as its sources.

The site also posted a story about "French authorities" suspecting Kim had actually "let the robbers in" the apartment. The final indignity, according to the suit by her lawyers Marty Singer and Andrew Brettler, was a post about Kim's insurance claim. She says MediaTakeOut reported, "If she faked the robbery ... she just committed a FEDERAL CRIME."

Kim says she immediately sicced her legal team on the site ... demanding they retract the posts and apologize, but got no response. So now, she'll see 'em in court.

MediaTakeOut had no comment.

Rick Caruso Trump's Persona Non Grata at The Grove

MR. ANGRY NOT WELCOME

One of the titans of business in L.A. threw shade on his New York counterpart, telling us Donald Trump is an angry man who is not welcome at the West Coast's premiere shopping mall.

Rick Caruso was leaving Craig's Monday night when our photog asked if he'd ban the candidate from The Grove. Caruso was quick to bite ... an especially big deal because Caruso is one of the most powerful Republicans in California.

On the other hand, he seems willing to forgive when it comes to Manny Pacquiao ... who said some pretty awful things about gays. Rick thinks Manny could change his ways. Don't hold your breath.

'Westworld' Star Jimmi Simpson I Wouldn't Time Travel to do Evil

Published | Updated

Jimmi Simpson's character reluctantly tags along to a fictional theme park in the wildly hit show "Westworld" ... but in real life he'd jump head first.

"Westworld" -- which had the biggest premiere on HBO in years -- is a western world of which Jimmi's a fan.

We caught up with him at LAX and he tells us where else he'd like to end up ... if he could.

Think fossils.

BTW ... "Westworld" is pretty awesome.

Kim Kardashian to Cops Thieves Were a Bunch of Amateurs

Published | Updated

Kim Kardashian's robbers were rank amateurs ... and it showed from start to finish.

Sources close to Kim tell TMZ ... she told cops the robbers were extremely hesitant and tentative ... whisking her in and out of the bathtub, pointing a gun at her head ... walking away and then pulling the gun again for no apparent reason.

We're also told it seemed to Kim that the robbers were arguing over how to pull off the heist. Remember ... the robbers only spoke French.

As for the robbers mimicking cops ... we're told not even close. The uniforms looked like they came from a Halloween store.

The thieves used a garden-variety backpack to carry the jewels out. But they were extremely careless ... a $33,000 necklace ended up on the street as they made their getaway. And they left zip ties and duct tape behind.

Still ... they got away with it -- for now.

NORTHERN EXPOSURE

Ne-Yo's 100% team Hillary, but that doesn't mean he isn't prepping for Donald Trump to win the election, and by preparing ... we mean he's packing warm clothes.

We got the singer at LAX -- the leaked Trump tape and the debates were fresh on his mind. Check it out ... Ne-Yo's kinda perplexed by some of the national reaction, but it's got him thinking more and more about one man.

Shia LaBeouf Love Don't Cost a Thing ... Neither Did My Vegas Wedding

Published | Updated

Shia LaBeouf's surprise Vegas wedding Monday with Mia Goth was no free love affair -- but it only set the actor back a few hundred bones.

Obviously, Shia's got the dough to spend wayyyy more ... but looks like he opted for the $700 Elvis Blue Hawaii package, which includes:

- Elvis officiant (with 3 serenades)
- 1 hula dancer
- 6 rose bouquet for Mia, matching boutonniere for Shia
- 10 candid ceremony prints
- Courtesy round-trip limo service from any hotel on the strip or downtown

Not exactly the royal treatment -- especially for an A-lister -- but if you're in the market, the Viva Las Vegas chapel offers just about everything a la carte. For instance, the hula dancer's $100 ... or the pink caddy WITH fog machine will run ya $175.

Take your savings and invest in real estate -- just a tip.
