EXPECT A HIGHER STANDARD

Don Lemon IS GOOD at comebacks ... and it's never been clearer than with this video.

We got Don at LAX Friday and asked about the blackface scandals in Virginia ... specifically, whether people should be punished for what they do when they were much younger.

Don says there's a special carve-out for political leaders, which then leads to the hypothetical ... what should happen if the 2020 Democratic nominee for President is killing Trump in the polls, but 2 weeks before the election it comes out he/she wore blackface in his/her 20's? Don handles it deftly, for sure.

And, then there's this ... should we elect a woman if only because their pasts seem less sketchy? Don does not disappoint!

Pop/Rock Singer Kyle Yorlets 5 Children Arrested for Allegedly Murdering Him

Published | Updated

Cops have arrested 5 juveniles who allegedly shot and killed pop/rock singer Kyle Yorlets.

Cops say the children were attempting to steal the 24-year-old singer's car and shot him after he refused to turn over his keys.

The children range in age from 12 to 16.

Police say the 5 children were in a pickup truck in an alley behind Kyle's home when they saw him and allegedly decided to steal his car. They didn't get the car but did get his wallet. Kyle, who was dying from the wound, somehow made it inside his home. One of his roommates found him sometime later.

The eerie profile picture on Kyle's Facebook page was updated on January 21 with a bitmoji with his hands up in the air and labeled, "Guess I'll die."

Kyle was the lead singer in the band Carverton. He had a side job as a bartender in Nashville.

A GoFundMe page was set up to raise money for his funeral. So far, it's raised nearly $27,000.

Michael Jackson Estate HBO Should Be Ashamed of Itself ... For Agreeing to Air 'Leaving Neverland'

Published | Updated

Michael Jackson's Estate is slamming HBO, claiming the network is part of a grossly unfair hatchet job just to make a buck.

The Estate is lashing out after HBO announced "Leaving Neverland" will be broadcast on March 3 and 4.

The Estate's letter to HBO targets director Dan Reed, claiming he featured 2 admitted perjurers -- Wade Robson and James Safechuck -- and consciously refused to contact anyone who would discredit them. And, the letter makes it clear -- there are plenty of people who do just that.

The letter says, "The Estate spent years litigating with Robson and Safechuck, and had four different lawsuits by these two men dismissed with prejudice. Today, Robson owes the Estate almost seventy thousand dollars in court costs, and Safechuck owes the Estate thousands of dollars as well."

And, the letter goes on, noting that following MJ's 2009 death, Robson said Michael was "one of the main reasons I believe in the pure goodness of human kind."

As for why Robson changed his story ... the Estate reiterated what it's said before, that he became angry when the Estate rejected him as a choreographer for the MJ-themed Cirque de Soleil.

And, the letter says, "Robson is such a good liar that his own mother testified under oath at her deposition that she could not tell when he was lying; she even volunteered that 'he should have had an Oscar given how convincing his lies were.'"

The Estate blasts Safechuck, scoffing at claims that his memory of abuse was triggered when he saw Robson on the "Today" show, adding, "Safechuck's frivolous lawsuits were dismissed so early in the proceedings that significant discovery was never taken ..."

And, then the Estate asks HBO to reconsider, saying, "We would be happy to meet with HBO to discuss a solution. We have plenty of further information and witnesses that would expose these two for who they are."

Wiz Khalifa Listing L.A. Home ... Months After Break-In

Published | Updated

Wiz Khalifa is looking to rent out one of his L.A. properties -- the same one that was broken into last year -- and you can live the Taylor Gang lifestyle if you've got 5 figures to burn every month.

We've learned the Pittsburgh rapper is listing his Bel-Air home for $16,000 a month ... so, you're going to have to work hard, play hard to live it up like Wiz.

As you can see, the space is pretty sweet ... the 3-story home has incredible views of the L.A. skyline and canyons, an infinity pool and spa, high ceilings and glass walls, 2 fireplaces and a recording studio.

Sounds like the perfect place to enjoy kush and orange juice. Just be sure you have enough furniture to fill out the place -- it's 8,970 square feet with 6 bedrooms and 7 baths.

Oh, and about that break-in ... as we reported, burglars hit Wiz's crib back in August, but a house sitter scared them off before they could ransack the place.

As for Wiz's new digs? TMZ broke the story ... he scooped up a super modern mansion in Encino for a cool $3.4 million.

Yeah, his old place is probably a better fit for ballers on a budget.

Luann de Lesseps Violates Probation You're Going To AA, Or Else

Published | Updated

Luann de Lesseps is getting a wake-up call from her probation officer, because the PO says she's not keeping up with the terms of her probation from her drunken arrest case ... TMZ has learned.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Luann is failing to prove she's been attending the required 2 AA meetings per week ... and she's not complying with taking random sobriety tests.

The 'Real Housewives of New York' star is not being punished for blowing off parts of her probation, but she's essentially being told to get it together, or else. In the docs, her PO says she's been under supervision for 6 months and has failed to comply with the conditions.

As we reported ... Luann is on probation after striking a sweet plea deal. She has to knock out 50 hours of community service by August 28 ... and, according to the docs, she's halfway through, having completed 25 hours.

As we reported, Luann was arrested on Christmas Eve in 2017 for attacking police during her bust. There's video of Luann telling a cop she'd kill him if he kept touching her.

Bottom line for Luann ... she needs to get in line with the terms of her probation.

Floyd Mayweather's Dad Cracked In Boxing Sesh ... Knocked Down Hard

Published | Updated

You barely EVER see a Mayweather get knocked down in a boxing ring -- but that's what happened when Floyd's 66-year-old dad strapped on the gloves this week ... and it was all caught on video.

Floyd Mayweather Sr. -- a former pro boxer who became one of the top trainers in the world -- was at his son's TMT boxing gym in Vegas this week, where he decided to spar with one of the younger guys.

It started off great ... with Floyd Sr. stickin' and movin' and throwing some pretty quick shots -- but, when the other guy started to fight back, it didn't go well for the old man.

Floyd took a few clean shots to the head -- sending him flying backward ... and ended with the elder Mayweather lying flat on his back with his feet up in the air.

Don't worry ... he's tough -- he'll be fine.

Floyd Sr. was 28-6-1 as a pro -- but his real success was training stars like Oscar De La Hoya, Laila Ali and, of course, his son.

Michael Jackson 'Thriller' Costar's Ex-Mgr Charged with Felony Stalking

Published | Updated

The woman who played Michael Jackson's costar in the iconic music video "Thriller" is in the midst of a real-life nightmare ... now that her ex-manager has been charged with felony stalking.

Ola Ray's alleged stalker, Timothy Beal, has been slapped with a slew of charges coming on the heels of incidents last month that forced her to file for a restraining order. Beal's been charged with 3 felonies -- stalking, vandalism and grand theft, as well as 6 misdemeanor counts of contempt in court.

According to legal docs ... Ray got a restraining order January 11 after alleging her ex-manager showed up to her house unannounced for 3 straight days. She claims Beal banged on her door, yelled profanity and threatened her, her grandkids and son-in-law.

Beal was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away, but less than a week after she got the restraining order, he allegedly followed and harassed Ray ... hence the felony stalking charge.

The vandalism and grand theft charges are for allegedly busting up Ray's Ford Thunderbird and stealing the car's hardtop.

Ray's restraining order has been extended through 2022.

Donald Trump Physically Sound for the Duration of Presidency ... So Says the Doc

Published | Updated

Donald Trump is going to be in good health for the duration of his Presidency ... this according to his doctor.

Trump's doc, Sean P. Conley, just released the results of the First Patient's physical in broad strokes, and they're one for the history books. Dr. Conley says Trump "is in very good health and I anticipate he will remain so for the duration of his Presidency, and beyond."

So many questions. First, is the doctor predicting good health 2 years or 6 years into the future? Second, what if Trump keeps eating junk food and doesn't exercise? After all, good health today doesn't ensure good health a year from now.

Third, how far is "beyond?"

You may recall ... after last year's physical, Trump's then-physician Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson said the Prez was in excellent health and "might live to be 200 years old" if he improved on diet and exercise.

This whole diet and exercise thing must be highly overrated, right?
