Kris Jenner Sends Chef-Made Meals to Skid Row
Kris Jenner brought a little Calabasas flavor to Skid Row with her own kind of meals-on-wheels.
Kris surprised the good folks at Red Eye -- a community outreach program that benefits the inner-city youth -- by calling the organization's director, Justin Mayo, to tell him she wanted to donate 100 gourmet chef-prepped meals for the homeless on Christmas day.
We're told the menu had it all -- white truffle mac and cheese, sweet potato soufflé, turkey, ham, braised short ribs, and mashed potatoes. For dessert -- pies and cookies.
Kris wasn't there but the hearty meals went a long way in an L.A. section that, save for the holidays, goes largely ignored.

Lil Wayne & Chris Brown Fake Concert with Weezy & Breezy
Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and other big names were booked to perform at several concerts ... that is, if you believe the promoter, but a new lawsuit claims it was all a scam.
Roberto Warnert just filed suit against Red Entertainment Group for allegedly promising to get Weezy, Breezy, Enrique Iglesias and will.i.am to perform for several concerts in Dubai a few years ago, only to come up empty handed each time ... while collecting HUGE deposits along the way.
Warnert claims he paid Red Entertainment $150k to book Weezy at first in 2011, but then had to scrap that when Red allegedly said they couldn't get him. Warnert then says he paid out similar deposits for Chris, Enrique and Will ... but he says they couldn't deliver on any of 'em.
The deposits were allegedly never returned in full, and now Warnert is gunning for $300k he says he's owed.
We've reached out to Red Entertainment ... so far, no word back.

Glynn Turman has no hard feelings over being passed over for Han Solo in the original 'Star Wars' film ... but won't exactly talk about why it never happened.
We got Glynn out Tuesday leaving Catch and asked if George Lucas had in fact approached him first for the iconic role Harrison Ford ended up sharing alongside the late Carrie Fisher.
Watch -- he confirms the story and refers us to George Lucas' book. Lucas says he wanted to cast Glynn but an interracial couple -- Han and Princess Leia -- was just too dicey for the times.

Queen Latifah Mercedes Stolen in Gas Station Robbery
Queen Latifah joins the growing number of crime victims ... her car stolen by thieves who had a penchant for punch.
The incident went down days before Xmas in Atlanta. Latifah's security guard took her 2015 Mercedes S63 to a gas station. As he stood by the tank and gassed up the whip, a BMW pulled up and the next thing he knew someone jumped inside, started the ignition and took off.
Latifah, who was not in the car, was especially worried about a contract that was inside a Tumi bag that was tucked away in the truck.
Cops sent out an APB and they actually found the Mercedes in an apartment complex. There was only slight damage to the car, but the thieves left behind lemonade and fruit punch bottles inside the car.
As for the Tumi bag ... it had been ransacked but the bad guys didn't take the contract.
Cops are looking at surveillance video, which could help them nab the thieves.

St. Ives Sued We Got Walnuts to the Face ... We Wanted Gentle Apricots
St. Ives packs its Apricot Scrub with crushed walnut shells that can tear up your face, and leave you wrinkled with acne ... according to 2 women gunning for the skin treatment.
In a lawsuit the women filed, they say the supposed exfoliating facial scrub feels like sandpaper to the skin, with similar results. To back up their claim, they say dermatology research warns walnut shells to the face can cause inflammation leading to breakouts, and accelerated aging.
Their main beef is the St. Ives product says it's "dermatologist tested" -- which is misleading, they say, because it is tested ... but NOT recommended.
They've filed a class action suit against parent company, Unilever, for more than $5 million.
We reached out to St. Ives ... no word back so far.

Korean Air Outta the Way ... Our New Taser Policy Gets Loose
It's out with the old and in with the new for Korean Air ... and all probably thanks to Richard Marx.
The airline's decided to loosen its Taser usage policy ... 1 week after the '80s hitmaker was forced to subdue an unruly passenger who proved too much for crew members to handle on their own.
The new policy will reportedly allow for a "more active use" of Tasers. Employees will also add on more security gear training, and the male-to-female ratio of flight crews will be under review.
The old policy meant Tasers could only be used when lives or the physical safety of passengers and cabin crew was threatened.
As we reported ... Richard and his wife, Daisy Fuentes, railed on the airline for its lax response to the out-of-control passenger who kicked and spat at crew members while he was tied to his seat.
Daisy referred to the crew as "completely ill trained."

Carrie Fisher Daughter Will Care for Beloved Dog Gary
Carrie Fisher's cherished dog -- a 4-year-old pooch named Gary -- will now be cared for by Carrie's daughter ... TMZ has learned.
Family friends are telling us Billie Lourd will take custody of the French bulldog, which was by Carrie's side on the plane from London to LAX when Carrie's heart stopped. The pooch also visited Carrie at UCLA Medical Center.
Billie already has a French bulldog named Tina, that's best friends with Gary. We're told she wants to make sure the 2 get along in the long term and she's able to handle the added responsibility.
A family source told TMZ, Carrie always wanted Billie to take Gary if something happened to her. If, for some reason, Billie can't care for Gary for the long haul, the dog will remain in the family.
The dog was like a child to Carrie, who carted her best friend almost everywhere she went ... even interviews.
Gary was adopted as a service pet to help Carrie with her bipolar disorder.
Saddest tweets to tweet. Mommy is gone. I love you @carrieffisher
