YOUR DRESS QUESTION'S A MESS

Calvin Klein is not partisan when it comes to dressing first ladies ... he's down with doing up Melania.

The 74-year-old was leaving Catch Friday night when he scoffed at our photog for even asking the question. It seemed fair enough ... Klein's a big Democrat who's dressed Michelle Obama, so you gotta wonder if Trump's his style.

When the Trump's are in fashion, you gotta jump on board.

'Jinx' Star Robert Durst I Was High on Meth When I confessed to Murder

Published | Updated

Robert Durst says he should not be accountable for his murder confession that was caught on tape, because at the time he made the statement he was high on meth.

Durst, who is in L.A. County Jail awaiting trial for allegedly murdering good friend Susan Berman, has pled not guilty and his lawyer just filed legal docs giving a preview of his client's defense.

In the docs, obtained by the L.A. Times, the lawyer says during filming of "The Jinx" ... Durst was on drugs and not on his right mind when he said to himself during a bathroom, "What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course."

Durst dodged several bullets up to now. His wife disappeared in 1982. The body was never found and no one has been charged with her death. Durst killed his best friend in 2000, chopped up his body and dumped it into a bay, but a jury bought his argument it was self defense and acquitted him.

Durst has pled not guilty in the Berman murder case, but during a jailhouse interview a detective asked him, "If you had killed Susan, would you tell me?" Durst responded, "No."

Anna Faris Coughs Up $5k in Lost Chihuahua Caper

Published | Updated

Anna Faris paid thousands of bucks as a penalty for giving the family dog away.

Anna sent a $5,000 check to Kinder4Rescue earlier this month for giving away Pete the Chihuahua she shared with hubby Chris Pratt ... without notifying the rescue org.

Pete apparently escaped or was thrown out of his adoptive home and surfaced on the streets looking like skin and bones.

A microchip led Kinder4Rescue back to Anna, and the org demanded the $5k penalty she agreed to pay if she gave the dog away without prior notification.

Pete's still hangin' at Kinder4Rescue ... in search of a new home.

DANCING WITH DEATH

Zak Bagans just added to his creepy collection of memorabilia and bought Michael Jackson's old chair ... from his death room.

The chair was decor in MJ's Holmby Hills mansion ... and primarily used by Dr. Murray to monitor the singer when he was pumped full of Propofol.

The "Ghost Adventures" star tells TMZ he scored the seat for around $15k ... and plans to put it in his Las Vegas Haunted Museum, along with Dr. Kevorkian's van and his body part cauldron.

Zak also wants Dr. Murray to come to Vegas and talk about the chair in person -- and considering the good doc's history with strip clubs -- that might not be out of the question.

Birdman My Tour's Gonna Crush Diddy's ... With Or Without Lil Wayne!!

Published | Updated

Birdman's got huge plans for a Cash Money tour that will put Diddy's Bad Boy Reunion tour to shame ... and he thinks he doesn't even need Lil Wayne to make it happen.

Sources close to Birdman tell TMZ ... the Cash Money lineup will include Juvenile, Mannie Fresh, Turk, some up-and-coming acts and Baby himself, and will hopefully kick off in February. We're told there's an open invite for Weezy to join the tour ... but a lot of beef-squashing would have to be done before then.

Our sources say Birdman's been planning this all year because the 20th anniversary of the Cash Money label is coming up ... and he thinks he can outdo Diddy no problem.

But still ... you gotta think it would be much easier if he can work things out with Wayne.

U. of Oklahoma's Joe Mixon Video Evidence Released Vicious KO Punch on Female Student

Published | Updated

The infamous video of University of Oklahoma star Joe Mixon punching a female student in the face has finally been released to the public ... and it's every bit as violent as the Ray Rice tape.

Mixon is seen throwing a right hook to the face of Amelia Molitor during a 2014 dispute in a restaurant near campus. She shoves him in the chest, he pushes back ... then unloads the punch and she goes down hard. She appears to be momentarily knocked out cold.

Mixon was charged with misdemeanor assault for the attack, and entered a plea ... admitting there was enough evidence to convict him. He got 1 year probation, 100 hours of community service and behavioral counseling.

Back in 2014, police allowed members of the media to see the video, but that was it. Earlier this month, Oklahoma's Supreme Court ruled it had to be released. It was unclear when it would go public. Mixon's legal team got ahead of it, and decided to release it.

The school suspended him for the 2014 season, but he played in 2015 and also this year. He's the team's star running back, and is set to start in the Sugar Bowl.

The University just released a statement saying "Mr. Mixon has apologized for his actions and the university hopes that it is an indication that he has learned from his mistakes."

Worth noting -- Mixon was suspended for one game this season after he ripped up a parking ticket and threw it at a campus parking attendant.

HANDLING THE SITUATION

President Obama's year-end news conference made at least one reporter queasy.

The Prez stopped right in the middle of talking to reporters about Aleppo ... when he saw the commotion around a female journalist in the White House press briefing room.

Obama even ordered his personal doctor to help the woman as she had to be escorted out of the room. Dr. Ronny Jackson was Johnny-on-the-spot.

This was the President's last gathering with reporters before he leaves on vacation. He and the First Family are jetting out to Hawaii for the holidays.

Chrissy Teigen I Don't Think I've Ever Looked Sexy ... Girl, Please

Published | Updated

Chrissy Teigen doesn't think she's all that, but we'll have to respectfully disagree.

We got Chrissy leaving LAX Friday, where we gave her props on her HOT workout video ... and asked if she sides with folks who say she looks better now than before the baby.

Watch -- our camera guy rightfully calls out her answer as the bald-faced lie it must be.
