Donald Trump Soap Star Arianne Zucker 'Locker Room Banter' Doesn't Cut It

Kim Kardashian Robbery Secret Recording in Paris Apt. Sparks Police Investigation
Moments after Paris cops responded to the Kim Kardashian robbery scene, someone recorded video inside her apartment and whoever shot the footage is in big trouble ... TMZ has learned.
The video shows Kim on a couch, wrapped in blanket while FaceTiming with someone. Police are combing the luxury pad for evidence ... apparently unaware that someone in the apartment is shooting video, which would be a major violation of French privacy laws.
Our sources tell us Kim's legal team is now working with French authorities to determine who was behind the camera. The issue is, in France it is illegal to film someone in a private setting without their consent. We're told police believe this video fits that description.
The video was posted on websites this week, but Kim's legal team shut it down immediately by sternly reminding the outlets the footage is illegal.
If Kim or others who were present can finger the camera operator, and cops locate the culprit ... he or she could face a year in prison and be fined the equivalent of about $50k.

Kevin Hart I Took a Buffalo Wing to the Face ... At a Male Strip Club!
Kevin Hart hasn't quite had rotten tomatoes thrown at him while onstage ... but he has dealt with fried poultry and half-naked men all in one heckling.
We got Kevin in NYC -- where he was promoting "What Now?" -- and asked about his worst bombing experience as a stand-up -- he didn't disappoint. Kevin tells us he was performing at a male strip club once ... when he came face-to-face with a thrown buffalo wing.
Sounds like he tried to be a grown little man about it, but chickened out.
Kevin's no quitter though. Watch -- he came back and conquered that male strip club.

Donald Trump He Was Never Vulgar with Me ... Says Ex-Beauty Queen
Former Miss Teen USA Katie Blair says Donald Trump is far from the sleazy guy he's being made out to be ... based on her experiences with him on TV shows and pageants.
Katie was Miss Teen USA '06 and Miss CA USA '11 ... and Trump owned both pageants at the time. We talked to her about her interactions with the boss, and while she admits there were plenty of situations for him to leer ... she insists it NEVER happened.
Katie says anyone who's had any experience with live TV would know there's an obvious reason why Trump couldn't have done many of the things some other pageant contestants have accused him of doing.
Check out her take on Trump -- who stood by her during her scandal with former Miss USA Tara Conner. Katie's clearly got his back when it comes to his ethics.
As for whether he's got her vote? Katie's made her decision, though it's hardly a ringing endorsement.

Justin Bieber Ghost of Eggings Past Still Haunts ... Ex-Neighbor Pulls Bodyguard into Case
Justin Bieber's ex-neighbor from the egging isn't letting past battles die -- he's STILL suing over an alleged spitting encounter, and now he wants a bodyguard to roll over on the singer.
Jeffrey Schwartz was the victim in the infamous egg attack in 2014, and also claims Justin spat in his face during another argument. Justin settled with his next-door nemesis for the egging, but Schwartz wants compensation for the spitting too.
According to docs, Schwartz says Bieber assaulted him and caused emotional distress, and he wants to grill bodyguard Michael Arana about the incidents, and most likely about Justin's character as well.
Arana lives in Florida these days, but Schwartz is willing to have his lawyers make the trip to get Arana's testimony.
Justin's already called BS on Schwartz's emotional suffering.

Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani First Disneyland Trip Is Family Affair
Blake Shelton ain't afraid to shake things up with Gwen Stefani, and he proved it by letting her take his Disneyland virginity.
Blake and Gwen were joined by her parents, 3 sons and a spooky Donald Duck at the Happiest Place on Earth. It's been a while since they were spotted together in public, but they're clearly still going strong. Even more noticeable is the giant "1st Visit!" pin on Blake, who turned 40 in June.
Gwen FaceTimed with him from the theme park last November, but that doesn't count. Our Disneyland sources tell us Blake thought twice before getting on Peter Pan's Flight.
Kiddie roller coasters are just not his thing -- not without whiskey or beer, we're guessing.

Donald Trump 'I'll Be Dating Her in 10 Years' ... Quips About Little Girl On '92 Tape
Donald Trump was recorded in 1992 joking about a little girl who was walking past him ... "I'll be dating her in 10 years. Can you believe it?"
The Entertainment Tonight video was just released on CBS News. You can't see Trump in the video, which was recorded around Christmas time inside Trump Tower.

It appears ET, which is owned by CBS Television, went digging through their archives in the wake of the "Access Hollywood" tape ... and this is what they found.
