Charlie Murphy's legacy of being a seriously funny guy is being remembered in all sorts of ways by his friends including Chris Rock, Gabrielle Union, MC Hammer and many more ...

James Cameron may be the biggest director in the world, but on World Way street at LAX there's an even bigger dog ... the parking enforcement dude.

The video is hilarious. James is about to jump into his waiting SUV when the cop shoos the driver off. Our photog clues the cop in on the famous passenger ... let's just say there's only one sheriff in town.

United flight attendants are shocked David Dao was brutalized and bloodied because police could have prevented any injury if they had a clue about the plane they boarded.

We spoke to several United employees who say the officers should have known the armrests on those seats are movable. Remember, Dao's head slammed into the armrest, causing at least some of his injuries.

The flight attendants point out the cops could have effortlessly lifted the armrest before forcibly removing Dao ... who appeared to get hung up on the middle seat armrests before hitting the one on the aisle.

The employees we spoke to made it clear they believe Dao should've been removed, but they're fuming at how it was handled.

United's CEO says they're reviewing its procedures in these situations, but flight attendants think it's the police who need more training.

No one's bigger than The Beatles, not even Justin Bieber ... according to Ringo Starr himself.

The legendary drummer did dinner Tuesday night at Il Segreto in Bel Air with ex-Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh, who once played in Ringo's All-Starr Band.

So the question ... if The Beatles and Bieber had both been around at the same time, who'd open for who?

President Trump thinks Hillary Clinton should be kissing the ground FBI Director James Comey walks on because she was guilty of every charge the bureau investigated.

Trump told FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo he firmly believes Clinton would be on trial right now if Comey hadn't "saved her life."

The way the prez sees it ... "When [Comey] was reading those charges, she was guilty of every charge, and then he said she was essentially OK."

Of course, most Hillary supporters think Comey totally screwed her with his October surprise -- announcing the FBI was continuing to investigate her emails, after previously saying it was closed..

The United passenger who was bloodied and dragged off a jet by cops dared the officers to drag him off the plane and take him to jail.

David Dao was confronted by officers at O'Hare Airport when he refused to get off the plane. You hear him say, "I won't go. I'm physician, have to work tomorrow, 8 o'clock."

Chris Brown is angry, feeling like he was stabbed in the back by Quavo from Migos ... a man he thought was a good friend until he started dating Karrueche Tran.

Our CB sources say ... Chris had both a business and personal relationship with Quavo ... inviting him to his home, collaborating on songs before Migos hit big, and supporting the group by attending multiple promotional parties.

Chris is livid that he actually helped promote Migos' recent hit album, "Culture," at the same time Quavo was secretly seeing his ex-girlfriend.

Chris believes it's no coincidence Karrueche got a restraining order against him at the very time she started getting tight with the Migos rapper. He believes this was orchestrated by both Karrueche and Quavo to clear the decks so they could date, without caring they would make him look like a chump.

Before Chris found out the 2 were dating, he did an interview with Billboard and called Migos "my real friends and brothers" and said, "I will never hate on you ni**as."

Well, now he does.

Cops in Georgia are dealing with a doggone mess ... but cops are right on the suspect's tail.

FOX 5 Atlanta posted this photo that shows the aftermath inside a Roswell, GA police station ... the poor box never had a chance against the super smug K-9.

Gotta ask ... WHO LET THE DOG OUT?!

Good news for A-Rod, Fat Joe isn't pissed he put the moves on Joe's "little sister," Jennifer Lopez ... telling TMZ Sports he's "all for" the brand new celebrity relationship.

YG got the handcuffs slapped on him early Wednesday morning after LAPD pulled over the Maybach he was in, and yet all he got was a ticket for no seat belt.

The stop went down about 3 AM in Hollywood. YG wasn't driving the Maybach, but ended up getting detained. Cops found an open container of gin in the vehicle, but law enforcement sources tell us YG and his friends got cuffed because they were uncooperative.

YG was eventually released, and left in the backseat of the Maybach. One of his friends was arrested on an outstanding warrant, another cited for the open container, and YG got the seat belt ticket.

United's CEO, Oscar Munoz, is promising cops will never board another one of his flights to remove a booked passenger again.

Munoz also apologized again to Dr. David Dao, his family and all passengers who witnessed the now infamous dragging of Dao. During his 'GMA' interview ... he added the airline would be looking into policy changes ... including the forceful removal of passengers.

He's clearly aware of the social media backlash over his initial use of "re-accommodate" to describe the incident, and made an effort to explain the poor choice of words.

David Letterman's mother, Dorothy Mengering -- who endeared hearts among the masses that watched her son's late night show -- died in her home Tuesday.

The former church secretary became a staple on the 'Late Show' as a correspondent during the Olympics in Norway, Japan and Utah. She was also featured on her son's famous "Top 10" lists and "Cooking with Dave's Mom" segments.

Dorothy died 1 day before Dave's 70th birthday.

Dorothy's survived by her three children, five grandchildren and her sister.

She was 95.

#RIP

Kylie Jenner's ready to stomp before finding her next romp.

The reality star sported these come-hither boots Tuesday night at the PrettyLittleThing campaign in L.A.

"Black-ish" star Deon Cole has the Midas touch -- he just flew on United from Chicago and lived to talk laugh about it.

The actor was out in Bev Hills Tuesday when our photog asked about United's epic fail.

Deon confessed he had just flown from Chi-town to L.A. and the experience was "stressful as hell."

Tyga was taken into custody by LAPD in Hollywood early Wednesday morning, but he's walking away from this one with a traffic ticket ... TMZ has learned.

Tyga was leaving Avenue Nightclub around 2 AM when cops pulled him over. We're told he had paper plates on the Mercedes G Wagon he was driving ... but officers ended up taking him down to the station for a possible DUI.

Law enforcement sources tell us once cops got Tyga to the station they determined he wasn't under the influence, and he was released after about 90 minutes with a ticket for no drivers license or insurance. We're told cops only took him to the station because of the crowd, including paparazzi, outside Avenue and they wanted to avoid making a scene.

He took an L with Kylie, but got the win with cops. Decent trade?

We got the victorious Tyga on his way out of the station. His pals picked him up in the G.

Stephen Belafonte went to the LAPD several days ago and told cops a former girlfriend was extorting him ... threatening to make up stories he abused her, unless he paid her a large sum of cash.

Law enforcement sources tell us Stephen told cops the woman contacted him with false claims but said people would believe her given Mel B's domestic violence allegations. The woman threatened her statements would make everyone believe Mel B was telling the truth.

She wanted money, but Belafonte didn't bite, and went to the police station.

As we reported, Mel B claims Stephen extorted her with sex tapes, allegedly saying he would ruin her if she ever left him or tried to fire their nanny.
