Sarah Silverman NRA Buys Votes to Divide Us, But We All Want Same Thing
Sarah Silverman is railing against the NRA and laying blame at its feet for unnecessarily dividing our country when it comes to gun control.
We got Sarah at LAX Wednesday and asked if she thinks America will finally do something about gun control following the Las Vegas massacre. Her short answer -- NO!
But she elaborated ... telling us why she thinks the NRA is really spending so much cash lobbying politicians. It's not only about guns or hunting or even the 2nd Amendment -- to her they've got another agenda.

Cam Newton Fired By Oikos Yogurt Over 'Sexist Comments'
The Cam Newton fallout begins ...
Dannon Yogurt has announced they have fired the Carolina Panthers QB as a sponsor for their Oikos Greek Yogurt brand after his sexist comments to a female NFL reporter.
"We are shocked and disheartened at the behavior and comments of Cam Newton towards Jourdan Rodrigue, which we perceive as sexist and disparaging to all women."
"It is entirely inconsistent with our commitment to fostering equality and inclusion in every workplace. It's simply not OK to belittle anyone based on gender."
"We have shared our concerns with Cam and will no longer work with him."
Newton has worked with Oikos for years -- in fact, the company reportedly dropped John Stamos to work with Newton instead.

Marilyn Monroe Skinny-Dipping Pics Hit Auction Block
Pictures of Marilyn Monroe wet, wild and fully naked have the same going price of a nice, brand new car, according to the New York auction house that's selling them.
Rare color photos of the famous blonde swimming naked are hitting the auction block next week via Heritage Auctions, who thinks they'll fetch between $25k-$35k.
The pics were taken in 1962, the same year Marilyn died, by photographer Lawrence Schiller. There are 12 total, mostly of her in her birthday suit, but there are also black and white pics of the blonde bombshell with a birthday cake and sparklers.
They're being auctioned off along with other rare photos of Frank Sinatra, The Beatles on Abbey Road, Bruce Springsteen and Muhammad Ali, but Heritage thinks the Marilyn shots will bring in the most coin.

Kathy Griffin Neighbor Runs to Court ... Says He's the Real Victim in Feud
Kathy Griffin's neighbor refuses to back down, and has actually gone to court to get his own restraining order against her and her bf.
Kathy fired the first shot in the neighborhood feud last month ... getting a temporary restraining order against Jeffrey Mezger after he went on a rant against Kathy and Randy Bick. He'd also called police to make a noise complaint against them.
On Wednesday, Mezger requested his own TRO. As it stands, Mezger must stay 100 yards away from Kathy and Randy. If his filing is approved, it will be ditto for them.
There's a court hearing scheduled for next week to sort out the whole mess.
'Wonder Woman' Director Hey, Cam Newton ... Get With the Times, Bro
"Wonder Woman" director Patty Jenkins says Cam Newton has two choices -- he can either get used to a world where women know football, or get left behind with the rest of the cavemen.
We got Patty out at Craig's and asked her what she thought of Newton sticking his foot in his mouth, telling a female reporter it was "funny" she was asking him about route running.
Cam's in the hot seat for the comments, and Patty told our guy it's probably best he rethink things.
"I think it's a changing world. It takes people time to get used to the fact that so many things like that have changed."
But she saved her most important words for last.
"Everybody has to catch up or get left behind."
Take the help, Cam.

Stephen Paddock His Unobstructed Lollapalooza View from Chicago Hotel Room
Here's the startling bird's-eye view Stephen Paddock would've had from the Chicago hotel he booked just days before Lollapalooza kicked off.
TMZ broke the story ... Paddock booked 2 rooms at Blackstone Hotel, located across the street from Grant Park, the festival's venue. As we reported, the hotel room had clear views of all the stages and the main entrance.
We've learned the view is from the 20th floor, taken earlier this year while the NFL draft was taking place. We're told Paddock didn't have an assigned room but specifically asked for a room with a view.
Paddock, the murderer responsible for the Las Vegas massacre, never checked in to the Blackstone.

Lil Wayne 15-Year-Old Alleged Son Surfaces
Lil Wayne has missed 15 important birthdays if you believe the woman who claims her son was fathered by the rapper.
Keiotia Watson claims in legal docs she had a sexual relationship with Wayne back in June 2001 and he got her pregnant. She says their son -- named Dwayne, Weezy's government name -- was born in February 2002.
Watson went to court 2 years ago to establish paternity and get child support. A Louisiana judge ruled in her favor and ordered Wayne to fork over $5k a month, but he hasn't paid a dime.
Our Wayne sources say he hasn't paid because he was never served with legal papers or notified he's legally the father.
One source close to Wayne says the rapper plans to take a paternity test and if he's the dad he'll take full responsibility and pay the piper.
Weezy has 4 other children (3 sons and a daughter) with 4 different baby mamas ... the list may well grow by 1.

Migos' Offset Cardi B Buys Her Own S*** Now!
Offset made a jewelry run in NYC, with his gf Cardi B apparently in tow, but made it clear he wasn't icing her up ... 'cause he doesn't need to anymore.
The Migos rapper came out of the jeweler Wednesday afternoon loaded down with a new pendant and 3 flashy watches worth at least one exotic sports car. When we asked if any of the new gear was for Cardi ... Offset had the perfect response -- especially because we're pretty sure she was in earshot, waiting in their ride.
Well, we know he's bought her bling before ... but that was B.B.Y. -- before "Bodak Yellow" blew up.

Dan Bilzerian Begs Vegas Cops Give Me a Gun!!!
Dan Bilzerian begged cops to hand him a gun as the Las Vegas shooter sprayed bullets at concertgoers ... and it resulted in a heated confrontation.
Dan -- who flaunts his arsenal of weapons -- has been skewered on social media for running from the massacre. That's why this video is so interesting ... Dan actually wants to join forces to take down the murderer, but cops weren't having it.
DECEMBER 2014
Listen closely ... Dan asks a heavily armed Vegas cop for one of his guns, and the cop recoils ... he seems insulted that some random guy would dare ask him for a weapon.
Dan pulls out his wallet, appearing to show cops he has the right to pack heat, and screams, "Give me a gun!" The cop fires back, "No, get the f*** away from me right now."

T.I. Assault Rifles Still Okay to Me! If Bad Guys Have Them, I Want Them
T.I. is standing his ground on gun laws, saying there's still a NEED for Americans to own assault weapons ... even though he can't own them himself.
We got Tip leaving Catch L.A. Wednesday night and asked him if the Las Vegas massacre makes him second guess security at his concerts, or his thoughts on gun control. Perfect guy to ask, really ... considering he did time for illegal possession of machine guns and silencers.
T.I.'s faith in the 2nd Amendment isn't shaken after the Vegas tragedy -- in his eyes, there's at least one damn good reason why law-abiding citizens have to have high-powered weapons, like an AR-15.
He's down for better screening though, and not only for guns. Yep, Trump cheap shot in 3, 2 ...

O.J. Simpson Signs Memorabilia In Secret Autograph Sesh
O.J. Simpson's having no problem finding work after prison ... he's already back in the autograph biz, and that could be a BIG problem.
Check out the pic, showing O.J. singing a ton of memorabilia in a private room at a Las Vegas hotel Tuesday night, and he plans to do the same Wednesday night. We're told he was in the room for 2 hours signing a variety of items, including USC and Buffalo Bills helmets.
The gear will most likely be sold to auctioneers.
Now here's the rub. O.J. owes a whopping $100 MILLION to the Goldman and Brown families -- the original judgment was $33.5 mil, but 22 years of interest really adds up.
If Simpson makes money, it's subject to seizure to satisfy the judgment. The families have gotten almost nothing from Simpson in the 22 years, and O.J. has made it clear ... he has no interest in paying.
If he were to take money under the table to avoid paying the judgment, he would be violating federal tax laws. If he violates the law, his parole can be revoked and he can be thrown back in prison.
Cat ... meet mouse.

Las Vegas Shooter His Brother Is Wanted by Cops
Las Vegas shooter Stephen Paddock has a younger brother who has a warrant out for his arrest, albeit for something far less menacing ... TMZ has learned.
57-year-old Bruce Paddock is wanted in L.A. County, according to docs, and it stems from one of his laundry list of violations. Paddock was busted for vandalism in 2014 -- he jacked up a moving company's property.
Paddock pled no contest and got 150 hours of community service, but kept trying to get it reduced. When he no-show'd for a 2016 court date, the judge issued the bench warrant.
We broke the story ... Bruce has a long rap sheet, including arrests for arson, burglary and criminal threats. The vandalism is a misdemeanor, so it's unlikely cops are actively seeking him.
Still, a routine traffic stop could land his ass in jail.

Lance Bass Gay Blood Ban Is Simply a 'Big F U' From American Red Cross!!!
Lance Bass is making an impassioned plea to the FDA to end its longstanding restrictions on gay men donating blood ... saying his blood is no different from that of straight donors.
Lance told us it's a travesty gay men can't donate if they've had sex within 12 months -- especially after tragedies like the Las Vegas massacre. He added ... there's clearly a need, and the only possible reason to stick with the policy is to discriminate against the gay community.
He said so with much fewer words though. Two letters to be exact.
Lance says if America won't come to its senses on gun control, maybe it can at least remove the stigma about gay blood. He's not mincing words either, and directly calls out the American Red Cross.
Another singer, Jeffree Star, was at LAX when he echoed Lance's feelings, telling us, saving lives should outweigh bigotry.
