NBA's Nick Young Burglarized AGAIN Entire SAFE Stolen

Published | Updated

The celebrity burglary thiefstravaganza continues ... this time, crooks struck the L.A. home of Lakers star Nick Young (again!) and made off with $500k in cash and jewelry after taking his entire safe!!!

Law enforcement sources confirm ... Young's Valley residence was hit in February when the bad guys entered through an unlocked door and pilfered the NBA star's valuables.

We're told crooks took roughly $30k in cash plus 3 gold chains, a custom ring and a locked safe containing other valuables.

Cops are on the hunt for the bad guys.

It's not the first time Young has been targeted -- thieves raided another home Nick was living in at the time back in 2014 and made off with $100k in stuff ... including Nick's beloved Yeezys.

So many stars have been burglarized in L.A. this year -- including Yasiel Puig, Alanis Morrissette, Derek Fisher and Cesar Millan -- they could start their own support group already.

The only problem with that ... who would keep an eye on their houses?

FEELIN' THE FLO

Flo from the Progressive commercials is clearly an insurance expert ... so it's only fitting to ask if she'd advise her company to cover Harrison Ford.

We got Flo -- real name Stephanie Courtney -- out in Bev Hills Wednesday in civilian wear. She's not worried about the taxiway landing ... she says Ford's a Gold Star customer.

She's also a Drake fan, so our photog asked Flo to flow on the spot.

UPHILL BATTLE

Judge Mathis says Faizon Love has one way out of his assault case ... but hizzoner thinks the attack video will be hard to overcome.

Mathis was at LAX Wednesday when he told our photog Faizon should be proactive by showing contrition in advance of his trial.

Thing to remember here ... we got Mathis before Faizon told us he was threatened and had spit hurled his way.

As for how bad the video is on a 1 to 10 scale ... Mathis doesn't have good news for Faizon.

Robin Thicke, Paula Patton 911 Call Julian Freaked Out Over Visit with Dad

Published | Updated

Paula Patton's nanny told a 911 dispatcher her son was a wreck every time a visit with Robin Thicke loomed.

Cops were called as 6-year-old Julian sat in his mother's car at a Malibu park, unwilling to take the visit with his dad who was waiting nearby.

You hear the nanny describe what she says are the child's fears whenever Robin has a scheduled visit. DCFS is investigating claims Robin used excessive physical punishment on Julian.

Robin has said Paula has tried driving a wedge between him and his son and is guilty of emotional abuse.

As we reported, in the last week Robin and Paula have tried to settle rather than fight, and they are on the verge of working out a custody arrangement they both find acceptable.

Anti-'Beauty and the Beast' Theater We Thought Those Drag Queens Were Dragons!

Published | Updated

The Alabama theater that banned the new "Beauty and the Beast" for having a gay character damn near projected a drag queen documentary due to a pretty funny mix-up.

Carol Laney owns the Henagar, AL drive-in and tells us she approved "Fierce" as an upcoming feature thinking it was a Game of Thrones-ish kinda flick. She says the poster was misleading -- a woman surrounded by 3 dragons.

Sure, there's plenty of slaying in the docu-film about drag queens, just not the kind Laney had in mind for moviegoers. She says people started calling her out for banning "Beauty and the Beast" ... but leaving the doc on her schedule of upcoming films.

No shocker -- she's now pulled "Fierce" too, saying it's not in "her comfort zone."

Kind of a drag.

Holly Madison Unloads Hancock Park Palace After Bidding War

Holly Madison made the Hancock Park real estate market her million dollar bitch.

Holly unloaded her 6 bedroom, 9 bathroom pad for $8.225 mil. She listed the property in January ... and buyers came flocking. She ended up selling for $225k over asking price.

Holly bought the Spanish Colonial back in 2014 for $7.1 million.

The 8,500 square foot estate has all the bells and whistles, along with sweeping golf course views.

Jon Grauman of The Agency had the listing.

Faizon Love Comedy Club Wins Big After Arrest!

Published | Updated

Faizon Love beating the crap out of a valet, and getting arrested in Ohio is really good for biz ... based on ticket sales for his next stand-up show.

As we reported, Faizon was arrested Tuesday after the brutal attack -- captured on surveillance video. The arrest came 8 days before his headlining gig at Funny Bone Comedy Club in Columbus. Perfect timing.

Management at the club says they sold nearly 100 tickets on Wednesday alone ... the day after the comedian's arrest. By comparison, they only sold 24 tickets the day before. The spike puts his 2 scheduled shows on March 15 at just over 80% capacity. Also, management says no one's asked for a refund yet.

As they say, no such thing as bad publicity. Although Faizon's lawyer might beg to differ.

The 54-year-old actor and comedian also broke 15 ribs and has fractures in his right leg and breastbone ... according to his wife, Laura ... who posted hospital pics. It's unclear where the head-on crash took place.

Laura wrote on Tuesday ... "Jim has asked me to let you all know that he was involved in a serious car accident yesterday, a head-on collision ... He’s had two blood transfusions so far and is about to go in for his first surgery.”

Stephen Dorff Bank Comes a Callin' for $800k

Published | Updated

Stephen Dorff has huge line of credit with his bank, but he's fully tapped out ... and nearly a million in the hole ... according to legal docs.

City National Bank says the actor and his production company opened a line of credit for $800,000 last year, but maxed it out. He was supposed to pay it all back by the end of 2016, but in docs filed Wednesday in L.A. ... the bank says he's gone radio silent.

As a result it's suing him for the full amount plus interest ... bringing his total due to $805,953.23, as of Feb. 28 -- plus another $10 in late fees. The bank points out the clock is ticking, and so is the interest.

We reached out to Stephen's reps. No word back yet.

I'M STILL STANDIN'

The best $600k Young Dolph ever spent was for his 2 bulletproof vehicles because they saved his life in Charlotte, and he's expecting more threats the richer he gets.

Dolph told us about last month's shooting, where more than 100 bullets were fired into the SUV he was riding into a concert. The rapper walked away unscathed, but when he stopped by "Raq Rants" he had a message for his trigger-happy haters.

He's definitely chill, considering what he survived -- and repeatedly referred to himself, using his alter ego ... Dolph Obama. For real.

Brandon Mychal Smith Tapped for 'AGT' After Marlon Wayans Negotiations Fizzle

Published | Updated

Brandon Mychal Smith is all but signed to be the next host of "America's Got Talent" ... this after negotiations with Marlon Wayans fell apart over money.

Multiple sources connected with the show tell TMZ, the deal is not done but it will happen soon, possibly in the next day.

We're told Marlon was first choice ... in no small part because he's a major name and has a history with the show as a guest judge. Our sources say reps for both sides went back and forth several days ago but Marlon wanted more than the network was willing to pay.

Brandon -- who's hysterical as a rapper on "You're the Worst" -- will cost way less, but one source said the other advantage is that he will become part of the show in a more seamless way than Marlon, who has an extremely strong brand independent of the show.

One source warns these deals sometimes fall apart at the very end, but it looks like Brandon will get the gig.

As we reported, Nick Cannon quit the show after a dispute with NBC. Nick groused he was reined in and the network tried to homogenize him.

Kim Kardashian Book Vandal I Don't Hate Kim ... I Hate Her Smut Being Near Kids

Published | Updated

The guy arrested for trashing a Kim Kardashian book display wasn't motivated by Kardashian hatred ... he just thought her book was too pornographic and accessible to kids in the store.

Carl Puia tells us he saw a mother yank away a copy of "Selfish" from her young boy in the Barnes & Noble. He says it was being displayed on an eye level shelf, not far from the children's section.

Puia claims he asked an employee to move the display to higher shelves, but 3 days later he returned and it was in the same spot. That's when he decided to go back and destroy the books with red liquid.

The 74-year-old says he's no holy roller, he just believes kids shouldn't be exposed to smut ... regardless of what celeb is behind it. Puia says he only turned himself in because he got a call from police saying a warrant was out for his arrest.

SORRY, NOT SORRY

Faizon Love says he flew into a rage at a valet because the guy spit and threatened to get violent BEFORE Faizon attacked ... which is why he's NOT apologizing.

The actor told us he was ticked off about a $1,000 charge for long-term parking at Columbus airport, but says it was the valet who got lippy first ... threatening to "put hands" on Faizon. He says his breaking point came when he turned his back, and heard the valet clear his throat to spit.

The spit is not apparent in the surveillance video, but Faizon insists he did ... it just missed him.

Faizon thinks the guy needed to be taught a lesson about talking smack to people. As he puts it ... real life ain't Twitter.
