CHAOTIC ARREST

TMZ Sports has obtained footage of the moments cops captured ex-NFL wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham during a raid on a Missouri home Wednesday night.

In the footage, you can see several members of the Springfield PD's Special Response Team announcing their presence and getting ready to serve a search warrant on the home.

Cops say they spotted the former Philadelphia Eagles player trying to flee out of a window -- but they were able to catch him and take him into custody.

Officials say officers found 1 pound of marijuana in Green-Beckham's backpack along with several vials of THC oil.

Once inside the home, cops say they found 7 more pounds of weed -- but arrested another man in connection with that.

You can see cops walking Green-Beckham out of the home and escorting him into a waiting cop car.

FYI, 25-year-old DGB is listed at 6'5" and 215 pounds ... so, it's pretty easy to spot him in the video.

He was later taken to a nearby police station where he was booked and posed for a mug shot.

Green-Beckham had a TON of potential as a football player -- which is why he was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the 2nd round of the 2015 NFL Draft ... but off the field issues torpedoed his career.

Paris Hilton Banksy Spoofed My Debut Album ... And It's Gonna Cost Ya $2K

Published | Updated

Leave it to Banksy to take Paris Hilton's first album and turn it into a work of art so coveted, it's fetching more than $2,000 on the auction block!!!

The street artist totally reimagined Paris' self-titled 2006 album, complete with spoofed song titles and a topless Hilton on the cover, plus tons of not-so-subtle digs at Paris inside the CD booklet.

According to RR Auction, Banksy re-interpreted about 500 copies of "Paris" immediately after the album dropped, and placed his work in 48 record stores across the United Kingdom. Bids for the rare copy have already surpassed its $2k estimate!

With Bansky spoofing album art and track titles, he enlisted DJ Danger Mouse to remix the tunes ... and, we gotta say, it still bumps.

Check out the gallery ... we're guessing Paris' exposed breast on the cover will draw your eye, but the real fun is inside the booklet. Banksy depicts Paris in tons of different poses, next to captions mixing funny insults with social commentary.

Here's the original "Paris" cover from '06, and as you can see, Banksy's version is way more risque.

The auction officially closes January 9 ... good luck!!!

Fake Blood Trump Star Vandal I Made a Statement ... And PETA Fired Me!!!

Published | Updated

The guy who poured fake blood on Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame says he was working for PETA when he did the deed ... but now he's been canned.

We spoke to PETA's now-former senior campaign specialist, Matt Bruce, who was caught on camera earlier this week pouring red dyed corn syrup on the Trump star ... which had just been vandalized earlier that day by another guy who'd also been caught on tape.

It was a shocking image to say the least, especially since the previous vandalism from hours earlier featured swastikas.

Matt tells us here was there with PETA members protesting Forever 21 for their use of wool. Toward the end of the protest, Matt says he wanted to send a message by pouring some fake blood on the star ... an act he says PETA has done in other instances many times over.

According to him, pouring the blood here couldn't be more on brand ... and, ultimately, it was a harmless political statement. Well ... he says PETA didn't see it that way.

Shortly after, Matt tells us he got a call from a PETA HR rep and the VP, who told him it was his last day. He says he's mostly disappointed by the firing, but not shocked. Matt asserts that PETA doesn't want any heat from the Trump administration, and that's why they cut him loose.

We've reached out to PETA for statement on Matt's firing ... so far, no word back.

Offset to Cardi B The Way Your Sex Makes Me Feel

Published | Updated

Turns out Cardi B missing Offset between the sheets is a mutual feeling -- he's still thinking about sex with her too ... and what sounds like a recent romp has him fee(hee!)ling some type of way.

The Migos rapper just posted a video of himself wearing a mask and dancing to Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" on a balcony ... complete with MJ-inspired crotch grabbing and body popping to boot.

He captioned the post, "P * * * * K N O C K E D M E O F F M Y F E E T B A B Y 9/20 M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S." September 20 is the day they got hitched in a secret ceremony last year. Maybe this is his way of celebrating their 1 year, 3 month-plus anniversary? Or, maybe, he's confirming that they're doing it again. Probably the latter, right?

MISSIN' HIS JOHNSON

You'll recall ... Cardi said just last week that she missed Offset as well -- or at least part of him, anyway. Looks like he received the message loud and clear, 'cause the on-again-off-again couple jetted down to Puerto Rico for her performance and snuck in a little jet ski action ... and probably some bedroom action too.

Cardi -- who didnt' seem very happy we got our hands on those jet skiing pics -- explained her reunion with Offset on Instagram Live, saying quite simply ... "I just had to get f*****. That's all." The video ended with a big smile on her face.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Based on all this, it's clear they banged. And, Offset might very well have been reminded of the fireworks made on the day they both said "I do." No better way to express the feeling than with some Michael magic ... especially if you can pull it off, which he did.

No word yet on whether they'll be linking up for Christmas itself in the wake of their split, but all signs point to another coming-together in the near future.

Farrah Abraham Santa (Ooh) Baby!

Published | Updated

Mrs. Claus might have some competition this year in keeping ol' Saint Nick's attention, 'cause Farrah Abraham's putting on a smoke show in L.A.

The ex-'Teen Mom' star suited up for a beach shoot just in time for the holidays, hitting up Santa Monica in a skimpy green two-piece and a Santa hat. Pretty fitting, right?

Speaking of fit ... Farrah's thong is definitely losing a battle with her ass here -- and that bikini top isn't faring much better with her girls upstairs. After taking in a few different angles of this, you might just forget the shoot was done in the spirit of Christmas.

Well, consider it an early gift from us to you. You're welcome.

Kourtney, Sofia & Scott Three's Company In Mexico for the Holidays

Published | Updated

Jack, Janet and Chrissy got nothin' on this trio -- Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian and Sofia Richie looked tight as can be in Mexico for the holidays.

The threesome are down in Cabo San Lucas right now enjoying themselves a beach day with Scott and Kourtney's kids, and Sofia tagging along ... which she's done from time to time.

It's a pretty incredible scene -- Kourt and Sofia are seen lying up on the some chairs, side-by-side ... and they even go on a stroll with Scott at one point on the sand. No signs of tension, hostility ... nothin'. Just your run-of-the-mill modern day co-parenting at its finest.

We've even obtained video of them out to dinner together later the same day at place called Edith's. Again, not a hint of animosity between the current/former couple.

Scott and Sofia are obviously still going strong and, from the looks of it, Kourtney's been dipping her foot back into the dating scene as well, with another youngin'.

Relationships in 2019 ... come and knock on their door.

Pete Davidson Watches MGK Show from Way High Up Week After Suicide Scare

Published | Updated

Pete Davidson wanted a bird's-eye view at Machine Gun Kelly's concert Saturday, and he got it ... and then some.

The 'SNL' star was spotted at MGK's show inside the Wolstein Center at Cleveland State University, where he was taking in the scene seated on an elevated stage platform. He was wearing a dark hoodie and seemed to be covering his head ... but rocked out regardless.

You can see one concert goer zoom in on Pete as Kelly performed 'Rap Devil,' and he puts his hands up while seemingly rapping along. "Saturday Night Live" is on break for the holidays and won't be back 'til January ... so Pete had some time on his hands this weekend.

It's great to see him out and enjoying himself -- albeit all by his lonesome up there near the rafters. Pete's outing comes one week after an alarming social media post that appeared to imply he was suicidal ... which set off a wave of support from loved ones.

MGK gave us a bit of a mixed update on his pal earlier last week ... telling us things were weird for Pete and co. during this time. We'd been told he was still in a dark place following the suicide scare, but he now seems to have turned a new leaf for the better.

Good on him.

Wayne Brady Louis' N-Word Convo All Bad On All Fronts

Published | Updated

Wayne Brady thinks Louis C.K. using the n-word in front of some comics -- including Chris Rock -- is as unacceptable now as it was then ... but he's wringing everyone's neck here.

We got the "Whose Line Is It Anyway"' alum Sunday at LAX and asked for his thoughts on a 2011 HBO clip of Louis chatting with Chris, Jerry Seinfeld and Ricky Gervais ... and, at one point, dropping the n-word when CR calls him the "blackest white guy" he knows.

The clip resurfaced Saturday and went viral, with lots of criticism aimed at Chris for co-signing Louis and Ricky hurling the word back and forth in front of a very uncomfortable Jerry, who lots of folks are seeing as the hero in this scenario for speaking out against it.

Wayne isn't as conciliatory. He tells us Louis shouldn't have said it, Chris shouldn't have allowed it, and Ricky definitely shouldn't have chimed in with so much glee. He also says Seinfeld isn't a saint for his mild protest ... calling him more tactical than anything. Ouch ...

It's a harsh rebuke for sure, but Wayne makes valid points. What's weird is that Louis has been using the n-word in his stand-up for years, and this clip has been in circulation for a while.

So, again, it begs the question ... why all the outrage now?

Indonesian Tsunami Captured on Video During Concert ... Hundreds Dead

Published | Updated

The deadly tsunami that has killed more than 220 people was captured as it hit, in a video that shows a concert decimated by the fierce wave.

The band, Seventeen, was performing at a beach resort in Tanjung Lesung, Indonesia when the tsunami struck. You see the stage collapse as audience members run for their lives.

The lead singer now says their manager and bassist died. Three other band members are missing.

The tsunami hit Saturday night, after an underwater landslide triggered a volcanic eruption.

The force of the tsunami was devastating, with 20 foot waves pounding and destroying everything in its path.

The tsunami destroyed more than 500 homes, 9 hotels, 60 restaurants and 350 boats.

This is not the first tsunami that has hit the country. In 2004, hundreds of thousands of people were killed after a tsunami hit shore. The country still doesn't have a proper tsunami warning system, and this one hit without warning.

Louis C.K., Ricky Gervais, Chris Rock Hurl N-Word ... During 2011 HBO Special

Published | Updated

Louis C.K., Ricky Gervais and Chris Rock hurled around the n-word during a TV chat back in 2011 ... and it's getting a lot of criticism now -- the question, what about then?

The conversation aired as part of an HBO special called "Talking Funny." Chris Rock calls Louis C.K., "The blackest white guy I know," which unleashes Louis, who asks, "You say I'm a n*****?"

There's a discussion of using the n-word in comedy.

Jerry Seinfeld does not use the word, and says he never has.

The group then discusses the use of the term in comedy and in public vs. private life. Seinfeld chimes in, "I don't think he can do that." On the other hand, Louis C.K. says he and Gervais use the word in private.

The clip is getting a lot of heat now, but back in the day there was not much public criticism. Entertainment Weekly praised the special and does not criticize the use of the n-word.

Tekashi69 Freaks Out After Music Video Shooting Tell Cops I'm Not Here!!!

AFTER THE SHOOTING

Tekashi69 was scared outta his mind after a shooting on the set of his music video ... but it had nothing to do with getting hit by bullets and everything to do with legal ramifications.

TMZ's obtained footage taken moments after 2 gunmen opened fire on the Beverly Hills mansion last November where Tekashi and Kanye West were set to film a music video. It's hard to see, but pay close attention to what you hear -- Tekashi desperately wanting to leave ... fearing his mere presence at the scene would put his then-newfound freedom in serious jeopardy.

You hear cops explain they found a 9mm and rifle rounds in the alley. They also explain how the house was intentionally targeted before saying they need to ID everyone. That's when you hear Tekashi -- sitting inside an SUV -- say, "ID me? I can't ... I'm on probation ... tell [the cops] I'm not here."

Tekashi's handler is also heard assuring Tekashi, word will NOT get out he was there. Remember ... the shooting went down just 2 weeks AFTER the rapper caught a huge break, when he was sentenced to 4 years probation in his child sex case.

As part of the deal, Tekashi was ordered to avoid all gang activity. The shooting, coupled with Tekashi at the scene, was a terrible look.

As it turned out, Tekashi's real problems started 9 days after the shooting ... when he was arrested by the feds on racketeering charges. He now faces life in prison.

'Southern Charm' Star J.D. Madison Busted for Bad Check

Published | Updated

12/23/18 8:45 AM PT -- TMZ has obtained exclusive footage of the arrest.

J.D. Madison -- best known as Thomas Ravenel's buddy on "Southern Charm" -- got arrested for allegedly writing a bad check ... TMZ has learned.

Madison was picked up by cops Saturday in Charleston County, SC after a warrant was issued for his arrest. He's been booked on a check violation charge and is still being held ... we're waiting on more details.

It's been a rough few months, legally speaking, for both J.D. and Thomas. Madison was reportedly accused of sexual assault in August by a woman who claims he slipped a drug in her drink and raped her. She filed a police report about the alleged 2017 incident.

And, as we reported ... Ravenel was arrested in South Carolina in September for assault and battery after he too was accused of trying to rape a woman.

We reached out to Madison ... no word back, so far.

Donald Trump's WoF Star You Will Nazi More Patrol

Published | Updated

Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame got tagged with swastikas and doused with fake blood this week ... but cops aren't beefing up security to crack down on more possible vandalism.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... despite numerous attacks on the President's star, LAPD isn't going to increase patrol.

We're told there isn't enough manpower to protect an individual star, but cops do have a camera nearby it uses to monitor the area. We have one too ... and it caught both vandals in the act.

Our sources say routine police patrols will remain and cops will respond to vandalism calls ... but that's it.

As we told you ... the defacement's were dealt with quickly ... at some expense.

Earlier in the year, someone drew prison bars over the star (which we also caught on camera) ... and there was a SECOND pickax incident too.

And, 2018's not over yet.

Dr. Drew Josh Gordon Is Abusing Serious Drugs ... Gotta Be More Than Weed

MORE BENEATH THE SURFACE

Josh Gordon's substance abuse issues run deeper than weed ... so says Dr. Drew, who tells TMZ Sports he believes the WR is dealing with something far more serious than pot.

Gordon announced Thursday he's stepping away from football to focus on his mental health -- but the NFL says he violated the league's substance abuse policy, once again.

Dr. Drew says it just can't be a weed issue that the Patriots WR is dealing with ... telling us Josh is most likely hooked on something much more powerful.

"I'm certain a lot of people think, 'Could this be cannabis? Could this be pot?' There's no way they'd be this harsh with him if it were."

"It's gotta be something more here. What he's talking about and the way he's talking about it, it sounds like he's really struggling with something more serious."

Dr. Drew says he's happy Josh is taking time away from the game to get sober ... but warns if Gordon returns too soon -- it could be dire for the superstar wideout.

"It's a high-risk game for him to be in the NFL. If he returns to work too early, it's definitely a risk to his sobriety."

BTW ... Dr. Drew also ripped the NFL for it's handling of players with mental illnesses -- telling us Roger Goodell and co. need to learn a lesson from the NBA.

Vans Sues Target You Can't Skate By Copying Our Shoe!!!

Published | Updated

Target now has a target on its back ... Vans is suing the retail giant for straight-up jacking its iconic shoe.

According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Vans is super pissed Target just started selling shoes eerily similar to the "Old Skool Shoe" it introduced back in 1977. Target's "Camella Lace-Up" shoe hit the market in August.

Vans claims Target's shoe features a similar jazz stripe. Vans also alleges Target intentionally copied the distinctive look because it knew it would create confusion so the knockoffs would sell. Vans notes Target's own customers refer to the copycat shoes as "fake Vans" on Target's website.

Vans wants the copycat shoes destroyed. It also wants all profits Target has made off the kicks.

Reps for Target tell us they're aware of the lawsuit and, "Have a deep appreciation and respect for design rights." They say their vendor is looking into the claims.

Al Sharpton Wrestling Hair Rules Are Biased Against Black People

Published | Updated

PURE DISCRIMINATION

Al Sharpton says video of high school wrestler Andrew Johnson getting his dreadlocks cut before a match is "outrageous," and shows a tremendous bias against minorities in high school sports.

The Rev. ain't buying the argument that the ref was simply enforcing the rules -- and accuses Alan Maloney of having a "bias" against black people.

But, Sharpton also believes the hair rule itself it ridiculous -- saying, "I think that it clearly discriminates against people that have a certain cultural bend, and come from a certain identity and racial background."

Sharpton compares the situation to discrimination cases where black employees had been told to get rid of dreadlocks and cornrows to comply with workplace standards.

Still, Al says he commends Johnson for winning the match and rising above all of the B.S. that went down in the gym that day.
