Tupac Shakur Arrested in L.A. ... No It's NOT a Typo

Published | Updated

Tupac Shakur was arrested for felony assault with a deadly weapon just last month in a case that's downright bizarre ... for obvious reasons.

Conspiracy theorists should probably sit down, but yes ... cops booked a 45-year-old man named Tupac Amaru Shakur. It's NOT the rapper, but everything from his middle name to date of birth -- June 16, 1971 -- is dead on, pardon the phrase.

Law enforcement tells us the suspect's real name is Clarence Campbell, but he uses 'Pac as an alias. He's also used the name during multiple previous arrests -- including one for battery -- so cops are hip to the game. Docs show Campbell's real name is attached to his arrest records.

Tupac ... the name gets around.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Justin Hodak drove by Jodie's crib Monday afternoon, but was scared off by security guards, who then called police. The incident is a big no-no for Hodak because Jodie has a restraining order against him. We're told she was home at the time.

Hodak was long gone when police showed up, but officers filed a report stating he'd violated the court order. LAPD's threat management unit is handling the case.

We broke the story ... cops busted Jodie's ex in March for violating the restraining order when she reported him in a suspicious car outside her house.

As for Monday's incident -- Hodak claims Jodie's security got it wrong. He denies being at her house.

Kevin Sorbo Round 2 of Jesus-Trump Debate ... WWJD Now?

Published | Updated

Kevin Sorbo is still positive Jesus would be down with Donald Trump -- even on day 82 of his very eventful presidency.

We got Kevin leaving LAX, where we asked what Jesus would think now that Trump has tried to implement an immigration ban and fired missiles at Syria. The 'Hercules' actor explains why neither would sway JC's support for the prez.

Ya can't say Kevin doesn't stick to his guns -- especially when you see what his stance was on this topic about 10 months ago. Awfully familiar.

'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Background Cop Sues ... Your Food Truck Dished Out Racism!

Published | Updated

A "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" background actor was picked on and refused breakfast because he was the only Asian extra on set ... at least according to the lawsuit he just filed.

Kwon Kang claims he was working as extra in a cop uniform in January when he ordered an omelet from the catering truck, but an employee said he doesn't serve police officers because a cop killed his brother.

According to the docs ... Kang took it as a joke and re-ordered his breakfast, and that's when all the other chefs started laughing at him. Kang claims he felt humiliated because other extras, dressed as cops, got food with no problem. He thinks the truck employees were racist.

Kang says the crew eventually stopped laughing and told him he'd get his omelet -- but he never did. He claims the incident has caused him insomnia and severe emotional distress.

Kang claims he filed a harassment and discrimination complaint, but was dismissed ... so now he wants NBC Universal, which owns the show, to pay him more than $500k in damages.

Stephen Belafonte Mel B's Acting Hysterically Over Storage Locker Drama

Published | Updated

Stephen Belafonte claims Mel B is creating high drama that's pure fiction by claiming he and their former nanny are in cahoots in holding her sex tapes and personal items hostage in a storage locker.

Stephen's lawyer, Grace Jamra, tells TMZ, both Mel B and Belafonte agreed weeks ago that the Spice Girls memorabilia would be put in storage for safe-keeping since their house was going up for sale.

Jamra says Mel B was well aware of the plan and knew which facility would house the items. And, she says, at the time, both Mel B and Belafonte were getting along fine.

As for claims former nanny Lorraine Gilles was involved in the storage locker hijinks, Jamra says, "She had nothing to do with the storage facility and, in fact, Ms. Brown terminated Lorraine before the items were placed in storage."

Jamra says, "Unfortunately, it appears that Ms. Brown is creating further hysteria and seeking meaningless Court orders," adding, they are waiting for Mel B's lawyers to call and arrange a time and date for inventory of the storage locker. Jamra says, "It will be clear to everyone that there are no sex tapes in the storage."

Published | Updated

John Warren Geils Jr., founder of The J. Geils Band, was found dead in his home Tuesday in Massachusetts.

John's body was found in his home in Groton. Police say the death is not suspicious.

John's namesake band released their first album in 1970. Their first big hit, "Love Stinks" came in 1980, and they finally scored a number one with "Centerfold" in 1981. The album it came from, "Freeze Frame," was also number one for 4 weeks, and stayed on the charts for 70 weeks.

Just to give you an idea how the big band was in the early '80s -- the Eagles, U2 and Billy Joel all opened for J. Geils on the road.

Geils was 71 years old.

Mel B Asks for Police Help To Retrieve Sex Tape from Nanny

Published | Updated

4:27 PM PT -- Mel B and her lawyers went to the storage locker which they believe contained the boxes with sex tapes and Spice Girls memorabilia, but nothing was there and they left empty-handed.

Mel B made a beeline for the police station Tuesday after the folks at Public Storage refused to let her in a unit she believes contains her sex tapes and Spice Girls memorabilia.

The singer showed up at the Hollywood Police Station after getting a restraining order against her former nanny, Lorraine Gilles. Mel B claims Gilles -- whom she says estranged husband, Stephen Belafonte, got pregnant -- has a storage locker with 12 to 15 boxes of Mel B's stuff. Mel B believes the sex tapes are there and claims Gilles and Belafonte have extorted her, threatening to release them.

We're told for some reason Public Storage would not allow Mel B and her lawyers to enter the unit, so they went to the cops for help.

She was mum on the way out.

Mel B Gets Restraining Order Against Nanny Who Husband Allegedly Got Pregnant

Published | Updated

Mel B has obtained a restraining order against the nanny she says was having sex with her husband, got pregnant by her husband, and is now extorting her with her husband.

We've learned Mel B's lawyers got a court order to gain access to a storage locker rented by Lorraine Gilles, the nanny in question. Mel B claims the locker contains sex tapes and photos Lorraine and Mel B's estranged husband, Stephen Belafonte, threatened to make public in an effort to destroy her life.

Mel B also says the locker contains boxes and boxes of Spice Girls memorabilia and photos of her recently deceased father.

Mel B flat-out accuses Lorraine and Stephen of extortion. According to the docs, in January 2015 Mel B worked up the courage to fire Lorraine but Stephen went ballistic, calling Lorraine his "ride or die bitch."

Mel B says Stephen threatened to release the sex videos unless she rehired her with a raise, and Stephen looked at Lorraine and said, "Isn't that right, Lorraine," and Lorraine responded, "Yes." Mel B says Lorraine acknowledged she had the videos and would give them to Stephen.

A judge ordered Lorraine to not harass Mel B and to stay 100 yards clear. The judge also ordered her not to remove any property from the Public Storage locker.

Kendall Jenner Cops Called to House ... Don't Fly That Drone Here, Bro!

ATTACK OF THE DRONES

Kendall Jenner's had another uninvited guest, and this one was armed with a drone ... TMZ has learned.

The guy showed up with a 4-rotor drone Tuesday on the street outside Kendall's Hollywood Hills pad, and her security team was on him like white on rice ... taking down his ID, and immediately calling LAPD.

Kendall's team is on high alert after she had $200k stolen from her house last month. Not to mention, the trespasser who terrified her last summer when he followed her into her driveway.

Our law enforcement sources tell us officers checked out the drone guy ... even searched his trunk, but let him go because he hadn't done anything wrong at that point.

IF he'd been flying the drone over the house without a proper license, he could've been cited.

It's unclear if she was home at the time, but crisis averted at casa de Kendall. Again.
