Converse Sued I Chucked My Chucks ... They Tore Up My Toes!!

Published | Updated

Converse's classic shoes aren't made for walkin' as much as they're made for hurtin' your feet ... according to a new lawsuit.

A California man says he bought a pair of Chuck Taylors as work shoes -- he walks around to advertise his website -- but the sneakers couldn't protect his dogs from getting seriously corny.

In the docs, he says he got a nasty corn on his left foot that was so bad and so deep ... it "interferes with the nervous system of my toes." Seriously.

He wants $10k to cover his long-term foot care, and to pay for a footwear upgrade. We'd suggest a comfy pair of orthotics, perhaps?

We reached out to Converse, but no word back.

Ice Cube Bill Maher N-Word May Have Something to do with Black GF's

Published | Updated

Ice Cube took Bill Maher to task on "Real Time" by letting him know it was wrong to use the n-word, and then suggesting Maher may have felt he had a pass because he's had black girlfriends.

Cube wanted to know why Maher thought it was cool to use the word, and the host made it clear -- he didn't think it was cool, and then he apologized.

Then Cube referred to the fact Maher has had several black girlfriends and suggested somehow that may have made it felt he had permission to hurl the n-word.

Tiger Woods Told Cops He Popped Xanax

Published | Updated

Tiger Woods told arresting officers he'd taken Xanax the night he was pulled over for DUI ... which has only now been revealed by an unredacted copy of the police report.

In previous police docs, Tiger had copped to 4 other meds -- Solarex, Vicodin, Torix and Vioxx ... which he said he hadn't taken this year. There was no mention of Xanax.

However, the new unredacted document -- first obtained by Golf Channel -- makes it clear ... when the officer asked Tiger if he'd taken any medication he stated Xanax.

It's unclear why that drug was initially concealed in the report, but it helps support Tiger's original statement in which he said he'd had "an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications."

There was no clear danger in combining the 4 drugs originally listed -- however, Vicodin and Xanax is a whole different story. The FDA warns combining Xanax with opiods can result in "profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma and death."

Jay Z Beyonce About to Pop? No Problem, Mon!

Published | Updated

Jay Z is jamming all the way down in Jamaica, and ya gotta wonder if pregnant Beyonce is waiting in vain ... back in L.A.

If ya missed the references -- Jay was spotted Friday in Kingston, where he was recording new music with Damian Marley ... in Bob Marley's legendary Tuff Gong Studio.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

By most calendars, Bey should be within days of having the twins. Remember, Mathew Knowles recently told us she was "more than 2 weeks" away from popping -- and that was 3 weeks ago! So ... tick, tick, tick.

But Jay being a solid 6 hours away by private jet must mean the coast is clear ... for today, anyway.

Bottom line? Don't worry about a thing ...

Cynthia and George Anthony own a home in Orlando, FL, but they've fallen hopelessly behind in mortgage payments -- they haven't made one in more than 6 years.

The Prez held a news conference in the Rose Garden and, naturally, got peppered with questions about Comey. He insisted he NEVER demanded a loyalty oath from Comey ... and even further said, "Who would do that? I hardly know the man."

Lil Wayne Sued for Hate Crime Against White Security Guard

Published | Updated

Lil Wayne violently punched a security guard in the face and the guard claims it's a hate crime against white people ... this according to a new lawsuit.

A California man claims he was working the front door at Hyde nightclub on the Sunset Strip in June 2016 when Weezy and his crew showed up for a BET Music Awards after-party ... and started acting belligerent.

According to the docs ... the guard felt physically threatened but was trying to do his job controlling entry into the club when the rapper punched him with a closed fist and knocked him to the ground

The man claims Lil Wayne then threw a glass filled with alcohol in his face and yelled, "F*** you white boy!" ... which he claims makes it a hate crime.

Wayne's camp has denied the rapper punched the guy.

The security guard's suing Wayne, his label and the club for damages for assault and battery ... and wants a $25,000 civil penalty tacked on to his damages for the hate crime.

Gloria Allred Phone Gets Her Tossed Permanently From Cosby Courtroom

Published | Updated

Gloria Allred, much like the postman, rings twice ... and it cost her a seat inside Bill Cosby's sexual assault trial.

Allred's phone rang in the middle of the trial Friday, just as it did Wednesday. She bolted from the court when it happened, but the damage was done. The judge has now banished her to an overflow room set up for public viewing of the proceedings.

Court officials tell TMZ ... if her phone rings in that room, she'll be permanently ejected from the courthouse altogether.

Gloria, who's repping some Cosby accusers (not Andrea Constand), caught a first-time offender break earlier in the week, but she's playing with fire now.

Vibrate, Gloria. Vibrate.

Sandra Bullock New Restraining Order Stalker Planned to Sexually Assault Her

Published | Updated

Sandra Bullock just got another restraining order against the man who broke into her home and made his way to her bedroom door with her inside ... and now we know his intention was to sexually assault her.

Sandra's lawyer, Ed McPherson, beelined it for court Friday and got a TRO against Joshua Corbett, who got 5 years probation last month for the 2014 break-in.

McPherson's move comes after the judge in the criminal case decided jail was not an appropriate punishment. He was ordered to in-patient treatment at a mental health facility.

According to new legal docs, when Corbett was arrested, cops found a notebook with multiple pages of scribbled entries detailing his intention to sexually assault Bullock. The notebook also described sexual, lurid acts.

Cops also found a number of illegal firearms at Corbett's house, including machine guns, assault rifles and explosive devices. In all, there were 24 firearms.

Sandra's deeply concerned because, according to the legal docs, the LAPD has determined Corbett suffers from bipolar schizophrenia.

Roman Polanski's Rape Victim Courthouse Plea For Director's Freedom

Published | Updated

Samantha Geimer -- the woman Roman Polanski raped in 1977 when she was 13 -- thinks what's happening to him is outrageous and if she's over it ... everyone else should be too.

Geimer appeared with Polanski's lawyer, Harland Braun, and told reporters she's been over this case since it happened. She called the rape "unpleasant" ... but the legal drama she had to endure afterward was far worse for her and her family.

Geimer also ripped a previous DA who accused her of being out to get money from Polanski, and questioned her integrity.

The now 54-year-old's been adamant she wants the case dismissed and for Polanski to regain full freedom. She also insists the rape was not as traumatic as everyone thinks -- like she told TMZ -- and it's time to drop it.

Nasty Gal/#Girlboss Author Divorce Final Pays Ex a Pittance

Published | Updated

Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso is officially single again, and it hardly cost her anything.

We've learned a judge just granted her a divorce from Joel Jarek DeGraff. The couple was only married for a year, and they had an ironclad prenup before marrying in June 2015.

Sophia, who is repped by disso queen Laura Wasser, will pay DeGraff $30,000. In return, DeGraff agreed to waive spousal support. She also paid him $18k for rent on his new pad.

DeGraff gets to keep his 2014 Volvo, and that's about it.

Sophia, who also wrote #Girlboss, created Nasty Gal before the couple married, so that money was always off the table. The prenup kept all of her earnings separate.

Girl boss to the core.
