Rihanna Photo Triggers Arrest Over Cute, Furry, Deadly Creature

Rihanna flirted with death and then triggered arrests after posting a pic of an adorable little animal ... that can kill you.

Rihanna was in Phuket, Thailand and posed with a loris.  Seems innocent enough.

Here's the problem.  The critter is an endangered animal indigenous to Southeast Asia and there's a law that says you can't charge tourists money to take pics with endangered primates.

Rihanna Instagrammed the photo and people started bitching in Phuket.  Authorities corralled the 2 guys who took the photo -- ages 16 and 20 -- and busted them.


FYI -- Loris carry poison that can be deadly.  When they get pissed off they release the toxins from their elbow, put the juice in their mouth and if it touches humans they can go into anaphylactic shock.

P.S.  Rihanna also went to some sex shows.  That can kill you too.

Michael Douglas' Ex Wife Says I Stand By My Husband Let Me See My Son

Michael Douglas and his ex-wife -- who once battled bitterly -- are in lockstep over what they call the barbaric treatment of their imprisoned son ...

Diandra De Morrell Douglas says ... their son Cameron has been treated like an animal while in solitary confinement at the Cumberland Federal Prison in Maryland.  He's serving 10 years for heroin possession and conspiracy to distribute narcotics.  Cameron failed a drug test in prison and was placed in solitary until recently.

As you know ... Michael talked about Cameron after winning an Emmy for "Behind the Candelabra," saying he wants to visit his son badly but isn't allowed.

Diandra tells us when Cameron got out of solitary he couldn't walk in the daylight, because his skin would burn because it couldn't adapt after living in an underground hole for so long.  His hair is also falling out.

Diandra says even though Cameron is out of solitary, part of his punishment is no visitors.

We called prison officials ... they were very abrupt with us, and said everything's confidential.

Kanye West I was Just Defending Myself

Kanye West says he went after that photog at LAX because he feared for his safety ... and that's why he pulled out a can of whoop ass and used it.

Kanye is responding to the civil suit filed by the paparazzo who claims Kanye assaulted him on July 19th at LAX and caused him serious injury.  According to Kanye's answer to the lawsuit, filed by Shawn Holley ... he believed "his safety was in immediate danger."   And then there's this:  "[Kanye] responded to this assault by doing only those acts that were reasonably necessary for his self-defense ..."

 

In addition to the civil lawsuit, Kanye faces criminal charges that could land him in jail for a maximum of 1 year if convicted.

Schwarzenegger To New GF Come With Me If You Want To Kiss

 

Arnold Schwarzenegger appears to have sealed his split from estranged wife Maria Shriver with a kiss ... for his new chick.

Arnold was photographed planting a big wet one on Heather Milligan Friday night after a romantic dinner in Santa Monica. (FYI, they ate at Fig in the Fairmont Hotel. Nice choice.)


They arrived and left separately, but that didn't stop Arnold Schwarzenegger from slipping Heather a sloppy goodbye kiss as she got into her car. They've been rumored to be dating for months.

As we reported, there had been tiny signs Arnold and Maria might work things out -- remember the butt grab? But as Mr. Freeze would say ... that's on ice.

Matt Leinart's Baby Mama Blake Griffin's My New Baby Daddy

Former USC basketball star Brynn Cameron has an eye for athletic sperm.  You may recall she had a baby with NFL QB Matt Leinart.  Well guess whose baby she just had ... that would be Clippers superstar Blake Griffin!

We've learned ... Brynn and Blake are now the proud parents of Ford Wilson Cameron-Griffin, who was born August 1st.  The birth certificate lists Brynn as the mother and Blake Austin Griffin as the daddy.

As for the child she had with her baby daddy Matt, 6-year-old Cole lives primarily with her and we're told she's getting a boatload of child support -- we know she was getting $15k a month.

Brynn and Blake were dating, and apparently it went well for a while -- or for at least one night.  And, we just found out ... Brynn and Blake are NO LONGER TOGETHER.

Let's just say ... in the baby daddy sweepstakes, Brynn is a Hall of Famer.



3:40PM PT -- We just ran into Leinart and gave him the ole Seinfeld ... "Have you seen the baby?" His response was far from "Mazel Tov!" -- but that might have something to do with the fact he had 2 kids with him -- one of them possibly his son with Brynn.

Mayweather Apolgizes For Mocking Oscar's Drug Problem

Floyd Mayweather has issued a full apology for a photo on his Instagram page that mocked Oscar De La Hoya's struggle with substance abuse ... though Floyd insists he never approved the photo to go up.

Mayweather came under fire yesterday ... because after he beat up Canelo Alvarez (who's signed to Oscar's boxing promotion company), a pic was posted on his Instagram page showing a crying De La Hoya along with the caption, "Meanwhile Back In Rehab."

Another caption on the picture read, "Oscar: I gave Canelo the wrong blueprint I was high."



Now, Floyd's speaking out ... with another Instagram post ... which reads, "It's unfortunate that a stupid picture was posted to my Instagram account earlier today that was not posted by me or authorized by me to post."

He adds, "I completely support Oscar De La Hoya and his family during this difficult time in his life. I stand by him unconditionally and would never personally disrespect him or anyone else who struggles with addiction."

 

"I apologize to Oscar and his family for this posting. I wish him well and am rooting for him to win his fight too."

"I also apologize to all of my followers for this ridiculous post. I have no ill-will towards anyone."

President Obama Yells After Bad Golf Shot

The President of the United States just got a scolding ... from the President of the United States -- after he botched a golf shot ... and TMZ has the footage.

The video was taken on August 17 when Barack Obama was playing a round at the Vineyard Golf Club on Martha's Vineyard.

After B.O. sliced his shot, you can hear him yell something that sounds like, "C'MON BARACK ... not THAT far left."

He immediately assumed his golfing position and tried to recreate his swing in what appears to be an effort to diagnose the problem.

The footage was shot a considerable distance away from Barack and his 4-some ... probably due to the scary guys with earpieces and guns.
