Macaulay Culkin's Pizza Band -- KAZOO SOLO ... During Pizza Band Concert


Macaulay Culkin's new pizza-inspired band made their concert debut last night in New York ... and the former child actor busted out a sweet kazoo solo during the 8-minute set.


Culkin's band The Pizza Underground -- who play Velvet Underground parodies with pizza-themed song titles and lyrics -- played an 8-minute set Friday night ... and fans waited around the block to get in.


Macaulay's sweet solo went down during the bands song "Take a Bite of the Wild Slice" (3:40 in the video) ... and then the group handed out pizza afterward to make up for the short gig.


It's unclear if Culkin paid for the pizza -- or scared off the delivery guy using audio from an old movie.

George Zimmerman -- Leaving Florida ... I'm Done Standing My Ground!


EXCLUSIVE


1213_george_zimmerman_florida


WARNING TO ALL U.S. CITIZENS OUTSIDE OF FLORIDA: George Zimmerman is leaving the Sunshine State for good, TMZ has learned ... and he might be heading for your neck of the woods.


As we reported, George has had about enough of Florida , primarily because he feels like he's become a sitting duck for the media and law enforcement to prey on him.


We're told he would have moved a lot sooner, but the domestic violence incident with his GF last month -- the one with the shotgun -- kept him on lockdown within State lines ... literally. He had to get an ankle monitor.


But now that his GF has recanted her claims and the charges have been dropped , Zimmerman's a free man once again ... a free man who can legally pack heat again ... and he's planning to make the big move in the next couple weeks.


As for where Zimmerman is headed -- he's not saying ... because he's still afraid for his safety after the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Kim and Kanye -- Billionaire Fights Back ... You NEVER Told Me I Couldn't Shoot Your Wedding Proposal


EXCLUSIVE


1213_kim_kardashian_kanye_west_article_tmz


The billionaire who co-founded YouTube is refusing to back down from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West -- firing back at the couple after they sued him for posting video of their engagement online.


We broke the story ... K&K filed a lawsuit against Chad Hurley, claiming he violated the confidentiality agreement he signed at AT&T Park in San Fran back in October ... when he posted the footage on his video-sharing website.


But now, Chad has filed legal docs of his own ... claiming NO ONE ever told him he wasn't allowed to shoot or distribute the footage.


Chad says ... after the proposal, someone did approach him with a waiver and told him it was a release so they could use his image in a TV special .. and he signed the doc without reading it.


He also posed for a pic with the signed form, at the request of K&K's peeps.


1031_hurley_contract_subasset_2

But still, Chad says he shouldn't be legally bound by the waiver because he was misled into signing it and he got no compensation in return for signing away his rights.


Chad is asking the judge to throw out the case -- and force Kim and Kanye to pay for his legal fees.


Clearly, Chad can afford it ... he's just trying to send a giant F-you back to the happy couple.

Khloe Kardashian Files Divorce Docs


EXCLUSIVE


1212_khloe_kardashian_lamar_odom_file_divorce_article


Khloe Kardashian has just filed court documents to divorce Lamar Odom and restore her name -- TMZ has learned.


As we first told you, Khloe planned to pull the trigger today on her 4-year marriage to Lamar, who has been deep in the world of drugs on and off for the last 2 years.


In the legal docs, filed by disso-queen Laura Wasser, Khloe cites "irreconcilable differences."


As we previously reported, the couple has a prenup so division of property will be a cinch -- they kept all their property separate.


And Khloe is asking the judge to take Odom out of her name, so she is once again simply Khloe Kardashian ... eliminating Odom from her life in every way.


And, Khloe is NOT asking for spousal support and wants the judge to reject any bid by Lamar for the same.

Beyonce's Music Video Dancers SHOCKED Too -- We Had No Idea This Was Gonna Drop


EXCLUSIVE


1212_beyonce_queen_article_columbia

Beyonce didn't just keep her new album and music videos a secret from the world -- she actually kept it from nearly EVERYONE involved in production ... even her dancers.


One of the dancers for the "Blow" video -- a girl named Morgan Hebert -- tells us, she knew she was involved in some kind of video project for the singer when they were filming in Houston in September, but she didn't know exactly what.


Morgan says it was all arranged VERY last minute. She and a few other dancers from Beyonce's Super Bowl show flew to Houston for the 2-day shoot and it was like Fort Knox. No cell phones, no pictures, nothing. She also had to sign a scary confidentiality agreement.


Morgan says she figured it was all for a music video, but didn't expect anything to be released until next year.


When she woke up today to see her video all over the Internet -- in addition to a FULL album and 16 other music videos -- Morgan says she was blown away.


Seriously impressive. These days, it's like albums leak before they're even recorded.

Jack White -- I Make $62,000 a Month!!!


EXCLUSIVE


1212_jack_white_karen_elson_article_Getty

Jack White
rakes in serious cash every month -- roughly $62,000 -- but according to his divorce agreement, he's only paying $3,200 in monthly child support.


Jack's divorce from ex-wife Karen Elson was just finalized, and in the docs, each spouse declares his or her monthly income. Karen (who is also a singer) says hers is $33,971. Not a bad living.


But the strange part -- Karen's now the primary residential parent for their two kids (a 7-year-old and 15-year-old) and Jack has agreed to pay only $3,200 a month in child support, which feels low when you think about how much he makes.


Then again, Jack also gets the kids for a huge chunk of the year -- 150 days -- so the low number makes a little more sense.


As for the rest of their divorce agreement, Jack did pretty well -- he gets to keep the rights to all his musical businesses, including The White Stripes, the Raconteurs, Dead Weather, and his record label. Karen gets to keep the rights to hers.


Jack and Karen were married in 2005 in a canoe in the middle of the Amazon river in Brazil, only to separate in 2011. Karen filed for divorce in 2012. The split was pretty bitter .

We broke the story, Bruce already consulted a plastic surgeon about reducing the size of his trachea -- though Bruce insists it's NOT the first step of gender reassignment, it's just because he doesn't like the way his throat looks.


Still, Marlon ain't buyin' Bruce's explanation -- telling TMZ, "I think slowly but surely he's been turning himself into a woman all these years."


"Why don't Bruce Jenner just go and get the titties now ... just get the breasts."

South Park -- KIM KARDASHIAN'S A HOBBIT ... She's a TERRIBLE Role Model for Girls


1212-southpark-video


Kim Kardashian is a FRAUD who's poisoning the minds of impressionable young women ... because in real-life, she's got the body of a HOBBIT ... this according to the people at "South Park."


Trey Parker and Matt Stone blasted Kim K on last night's episode -- and it all started when Butters refused to date an overweight, ugly classmate because she doesn't look like his dream woman Kim K.


That's when Wendy unloads -- "Kim Kardashian is a short overweight woman who manipulates her image and makes average girls feel horrible about themselves."


She added, "In real life, Kim Kardashian has the body of a Hobbit!!!"


Throughout the episode, Kanye West appears and tries to convince everyone Kim is not, in fact, a Hobbit ... but even KW isn't entirely convinced.


It's not the first time South Park's taken aim at celebrities -- they've gone after everyone from Paris Hilton to Michael Jackson and, of course, Tom Cruise.

'Hills' Star Doug Reinhardt -- He Threatened To Beat The F**k Out of Me ... Neighbor Says


exclusive


1205_doug_reinhardt_article_tmz

Doug Reinhardt -- former Paris Hilton BF who appeared on "The Hills" -- has been hit with a temporary restraining order after allegedly threatening to "beat the f**k" out of his neighbor, TMZ has learned.


The 29-year-old -- who's also the heir to a frozen burrito fortune -- has been living in a $15k-per-month home above the Sunset Strip, according to legal docs ... and his next-door neighbor says he's been a total nightmare.


The main issue ... the neighbor, a bigtime real estate agent, claims Doug's been throwing crazy parties that don't START until 2:30 AM.


And when the neighbor complained, he says Doug called him a "pain in the butt" and said, "I'm going to beat the f**k out of you."


The neighbor says he fears for his life ... and begged the courts for protection.


We've learned ... the judge issued a temporary restraining order against Doug, requiring him to keep his distance from the guy -- a whole 5 yards (since they're neighbors, any other distance would essentially require one of the parties to move).


We tried reaching out to Doug for comment -- so far, no word back.
