Published | Updated

1:35 PM PT -- Sources tell us at 10:30 Monday morning a chaplain was called to Tom's hospital room. We're told the family has a "do not resuscitate" order on Tom. The singer is not expected to live through the day, but he's still clinging to life. A report that the LAPD confirmed the singer's death is inaccurate -- the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. handled the emergency.

12:30 PM PT -- We're told after Petty got to the hospital he had no brain activity and a decision was made to pull life support.

Tom Petty was rushed to the hospital Sunday night after he was found unconscious, not breathing and in full cardiac arrest ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

EMTs rushed to his Malibu home and were able to get a pulse. He was rushed to the UCLA Santa Monica Hospital and our sources say he was put on life support.

Dana York seemed confused and upset when she dialed 911 Sunday night at around 10:45 PM. The dispatcher tried to get her to administer CPR, but Dana needed help. You hear another man take the phone but then Dana takes it back.

She hears very soft breathing, tries CPR and it seems he breathes better.

TMZ broke the story, Tom was in full cardiac arrest and unconscious. He was taken to the hospital and put on life support but there was no brain activity. A chaplain came to administer last rights and he was taken off of life support.

He's not expected to survive the day.

WELCOME TO AMERICA

The most dangerous thing to Americans isn't guns or ISIS ... it's your fellow Americans, according to D.L. Hughley.

We got D.L. Monday morning following the Las Vegas massacre which killed at least 58 concertgoers and injured more than 500.

D.L. points out there were no laws stopping the gunman, Stephen Paddock, from pulling off the deadliest mass shooting of all time. As he puts it ... it's easier to get assault weapons in America than it is Sudafed.

Like a lot of people today, D.L.'s clearly pissed off -- and wondering what it will take to change things.

50 Cent Sued You Jacked My Pics To P.I.M.P. Your Crap!!!

Published | Updated

50 Cent jacked a couple photos and plastered them on his social media to pimp himself and one of his products ... so says a photographer in a new suit.

Christopher Pasatieri -- who says he's a professional photographer -- says he photographed 50 Cent and some of his shots ended up on the rapper's Instagram page, each generating over 42,000 likes.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, Pasatieri submitted a screen shot of the IG posts that shows Fiddy pimping his SMS Audio headphones and TV show, "Power." Pasatieri says the rapper never licensed the photos or asked for permission to post them on IG.

Pasatieri doesn't say when he shot 50 but it appears it's from a concert in June 2014 at Citi Field where he performed with G-Unit, which is also being sued.

Pasatieri is suing for damages.

We've reached out to 50 Cent, so far no word back.

Future Plugs Vegas Show ... Gets Dragged by Fans

Published | Updated

Future is getting ripped online for some horrifically awful timing -- his social media team just tweeted out a promo for his upcoming Las Vegas show.

The Twitter post plugged his Halloween weekend show at Drai's, but seeing as how it came just 12 hours after Stephen Paddock opened fire on a Las Vegas concert ... the reaction has been scathing.

More than likely it was a prescheduled tweet, but fans aren't in the mood to forgive Future or Drai's.

As one fan put it ...

Terrence Howard Ex-Wife Wins Appeal ... He'll Have to Pay Up After All

Published | Updated

Terrence Howard's taking an "L" in his longstanding spousal support war with his ex-wife ... who just won in appeals court.

According to court docs, Michelle Ghent Howard got a ruling on their spousal support overturned. Two years ago, Terrence convinced the court he'd been forced to sign their marital settlement under duress. He claimed she was threatening to go public with naked photos and videos.

At the time, he'd been paying her $5,800 per month.

Michelle appealed that ruling and the judges agreed with her argument -- that Terrence was NOT under duress because too much time had passed between the threat and Terrence signing the agreement. The court said it was more like Terrence had "buyer's remorse" -- and he had other options besides signing on the dotted lines.

For instance, the court said he could have gone to the police if he felt Michelle was blackmailing him.

The appeal victory means the marital settlement is reinstated, and Terrence will have to start paying spousal support again. It's unclear how much he'll have to pay.

Stephen Paddock Brother Says ... He was a Typical Vegas Guy

Published | Updated

Stephen Paddock's brother Eric Paddock seemed dumbfounded by the monstrous actions of his sibling.

Eric just appeared on CBS News and said his brother was not an avid gun collector. He had no idea where Stephen Paddock got automatic weapons ... no idea at all.

Eric was in the dark, because cops have already searched Stephen Paddock's home and it appears they found a cache of weapons and ammo. The recently-built house was well kept in the upscale retirement community.

Eric painted his brother as a normal guy living in Nevada ... eating burritos and gambling.

He was also relieved his brother didn't harm his girlfriend. He actually seems unsure whether she was his girlfriend or whether they were secretly married.

Evan Rachel Wood Fires Back at Steve Bannon For 'Dumb as Ticks' Slam

Published | Updated

Evan Rachel Wood had a message for Steve Bannon ... and it was written all over her.

The "Westworld" star was at LAX Sunday, and we asked if she had more to say after the ousted White House Chief Strategist called out Hollywood celebs, saying they're "dumb as ticks. And they're lazy."

Evan responded in a series of tweets ... essentially saying Hollywood's using its platform to shed light on social injustice, and speaking for those who don't have the same platform. But she wasn't done.

Her final retort to Bannon was scrawled on her t-shirt. She says a lot here, without saying a word.

RUNNING FOR COVER

Police say Paddock lived in nearby Mesquite, Nevada in a retirement community ... and did not have any previous criminal record there. His age does not fit the typical profile in mass shooting cases. Cops say when they stormed his room they found him dead.

It's clear from the horrific videos from the scene -- the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history -- that Paddock rained down hundreds of rounds from an automatic weapon before he was killed. He reportedly had nearly 10 more weapons with him in the hotel room.

Jason Aldean was performing when the shooting began. He and his band were able to scramble to safety as bullets reportedly ricocheted onto the stage.

At least one off-duty police officer is among the fatalities.

Police in Las Vegas are responding to a mass shooting at the Mandalay Bay Resort, where multiple people are reportedly injured ... and multiple shooters are suspected.

Videos from social media started pouring in late Sunday night showing multiple rounds being fired from what sounds like a rooftop or from somewhere up high. People are taking cover and running for their lives.

The shots started raining down on concert goers who were watching a set from Jason Aldean during the final night of the Route 91 country music festival. He, and onlookers, froze when the first rounds started being fired ... and chaos and panic ensued. The shots are clearly coming from automatic or semi-automatic weapons.

Unclear how many people might be dead ... but multiple are reportedly injured.

Nothing warm and fuzzy about it -- just co-parenting -- but Huma and Weiner did come together to walk their son, Jordan, to school Monday morning in Manhattan. It's the first time they've all been seen together since he was sentenced to 21 months in prison for sexting a minor.

Huma filed for divorce from the disgraced Congressman in May after he pled guilty, but looks like they're at least burying the hatchet for the kid's sake.
