Breakout British boy band The Wanted has violated the ONE rule of alcohol-fueled karaoke night -- YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY BE GOOD AT SINGING ... and TMZ has the video proof.
It all went down at Rock & Reilly's Monday night in Hollywood ... the boy band -- known for their new hit "Glad You Came" -- grabbed the karaoke mic and belted out the 90s classic song "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls ... and damnit ... it was way too good.
Why they weren't immediately kicked out afterwards, we have no idea.
Kim Kardashian is selfish, will do anything to keep herself in the news and doesn't have a heart ... so says PETA, in reaction to the news KK is planning to press charges against the girl who threw flour on her at an event Thursday night.
In a statement to TMZ, the animal rights group (which claims it had nothing to do with the incident), says, "If she presses charges, at least people will be constantly reminded of her selfish, callous disregard for the cruel deaths that she causes by wearing fur."
They continue, "How much better it would be if she decided to evolve and enhance her image by donating her vulgar furs and exotic-animal skins to the homeless. The activist acted from the heart, something Kim doesn't seem to have."
PETA concludes their statement by saying, "If anything, Kim should get a life, the very thing that she denies animals."
PETA also tells TMZ they'd be willing to help the flour-tosser with her defense costs, if she asked them.
As TMZ first reported, we're told Kim is planning on pressing charges because she doesn't feel the woman should get away with assault.
The flour bomb unleashed by an animal rights activist against Kim Kardashian has also unleashed a raging debate over fur, and the tactics used by protesters.
Kim Kardashian has decided she will press charges against the woman who threw flour on her at an event Thursday night ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Kim tell TMZ she does not feel the woman who threw the flour at her should get away with it and that she should be held accountable for her actions. According to our sources, Kim didn't press charges that night because she didn't want to take herself away from the event, which was for charity.
We're told Kim will contact law enforcement in the next few days to tell them she wants to press charges. According to our sources, Kim wants to send the message that people are entitled to their opinion, but should not resort to violence.
The decision to press charges represents a change of heart for Kim, who told TMZ Live yesterday she was wasn't going to pursue the matter.
"Basketball Wives" star Tami Roman signed an endorsement deal with a line of hair extensions in which she promised to feature the product on her show -- but a new lawsuit claims she not only didn't deliver on that promise ... but she featured her own hair line on the show instead!
According to a lawsuit filed earlier this month in Texas, Roman agreed to become a spokesperson for Crème De La Crème Hair. In the lawsuit, Crème says part of the deal called for Roman to "have an appearance on VH1's 'Basketball Wives' where she will discuss her hair line with the [Crème's] owners."
But according to Crème, Tami bailed on every attempt they made to coordinate their appearance on the show.
The final straw for Crème came last month when Roman was supposed to promote Crème at a hair show in Atlanta. They claim Roman showed up as planned with a "BB Wives" film crew ... but was there promoting her OWN line of hair in competition with Crème. They also claim Tami's manager instructed the crew not to film anything Crème.
Crème is suing for damages in excess of $75,000 and they want the footage shot for "BB Wives" pulled from the show unless it's edited to feature them.
Roman tells TMZ, "My responsibility is to my fans and supporters. I can no longer be affiliated with a company that does not uphold my standards with regards to quality business practices."
There are five members in the hit British boy band One Direction -- and today in Dallas, there will be 20 security personnel for each of them ... to ensure their rabid fan base stays safe and in check.
According to our sources, a security team of 100 has been assigned to protect the group for their performance ... which is only supposed to last 45 minutes.
The band, which became the first UK group in history to debut at number one with their first album, is scheduled to play just four songs for a crowd of about 7,000 at the Dr Pepper Ballpark.
The security breaks down like this: 40 for close protection security, 50 more for the venue, and then 10 more just on stand by.
File this one under PAR FOR THE COURSE ... one of the members of the "Bad Girls Club" was arrested in South Carolina last night for assault while in town for an event promoting the show.
Gia Sapp-Hernandez, who appeared on the most recent season of the Oxygen show, was booked into the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center in Columbia, S.C. last night on charges of third degree assault and battery.
She's still in custody and being held on a $2,130 bond.
DJ Pauly D feared for his safety during a gig last night in South Padre Island and extra security (along with local police) had to be called to control the massive crowd ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to Pauly D tell TMZ his team became worried very early on last night that the venue, Louie's Backyard, was not properly equipped to handle the crowd. We're told Pauly D was assured extra security was being brought in to help out.
According to our sources, the stage Pauly D performed on was supposed to have a few feet of room between it and the fans. But as you can see from the photo above, that didn't happen and the stage became surrounded ... with some fans even trying to climb the stage.
When it came time to leave, our sources say Pauly D had to be escorted out by about 15 security personnel and police, and he still had his shirt ripped by the mob of fans.
Calls to the club and the South Padre Island Police Department were not returned.
Eddie Griffin gave Kim Kardashian a run for her money ... for SHORTEST MARRIAGE EVER -- because after just six months of wedded bliss, the comedian is officially divorced.
TMZ broke the story ... Eddie tied the knot last September at a Vegas chapel -- with a woman named Nia Rivers -- and one month later, the couple filed a joint divorce petition, citing "irreconcilable differences."
A month after THAT, Griffin and Nia attempted a reconciliation -- but that was short-lived ... and last month, the divorce was finalized by a Nevada judge.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the couple is incompatible in marriage -- but the split was pretty amicable ... because both agreed to joint custody of their two-year-old child King Edward Griffin.
According to the docs, Nia will receive $2,500 in monthly child support.
One last thing -- the couple agreed that neither person would ever disclose details about the split ... whether in a book, a screenplay, or any media interviews. So much for that made-for-TV special.
With Snooki pregnant and The Situation getting sober, the people behind "Jersey Shore" are FREAKED the show will lose its sex-crazed alcohol-fueled edge -- so they're looking to phase the two out ... in favor of newer, wilder castmates.
MTV released a statement earlier this week -- following news Sitch was seeking substance abuse treatment -- claiming the network expects the entire cast to return for Season 6 ... but sources close to 495 Productions tell TMZ, the production company is currently looking for new talent.
According to sources, 495 desperately wants to keep things fresh -- and folding in new castmates will help transition the show into a new generation ... while still keeping old fans hooked.
We're told 495 plans to limit Snooki and The Situation's roles on the new season -- giving new cast members more screen time instead.
The show is set to begin filming this summer. 495 had no comment.
African warlord Joseph Kony is a master of voodoo ... who may have willed an evil spirit to poison the mind of Invisible Children co-founder Jason Russell ... this according to a former member of Kony's child army.
TMZ spoke with Richard Akena ... who was captured by Kony's forces 4 separate times when he was a child and was forced to carry out Kony's evil bidding.
Akena tells us ... most people who were captured by Kony believe he is "being controlled by a devil spirit."
Akena says it wasn't unusual to see Kony try to use voodoo magic in an effort to thwart his enemies in Africa ... and he believes the same voodoo magic could explain Russell's naked meltdown .
Russell's family says the breakdown can be chalked up to "reactive psychosis" ... caused by stress and lack of sleep.
Still, Akena tells us he's convinced otherwise ... "This was Kony's doing."
