Drake -- I Have TERRIBLE Taste ... In Snacks
EXCLUSIVE
Drake, what's wrong with you ... here we thought you were a cool guy ... and then, you made the worst food choice IN THE HISTORY OF SNACKS!!
Drizzy was on his way out of Hooray Henry's Friday night ... munching on a Starburst ... a delicious snack, yes -- but with a few crappy flavors for sure.
Turns out Drake is not only eating the rock-bottom flavor ... but it sounds like he's advocating his choice as the only option.
But he did date Rihanna ... so he makes good choices too.

Exclusive Photos
New L.A. Clippers owner Steve Ballmer isn't wasting any time bonding with his team's biggest star -- hanging out with Chris Paul at the L.A. Kings playoff game Friday night and TMZ Sports has the pics.
Less than 24 hours after purchasing the team from Shelly Sterling for $2 billion ... IN CASH ... the former Microsoft CEO hung out at his team's home court -- Staples Center -- to take in the hockey game.
Ballmer and Paul appeared to be getting along well -- sources at the game tell us the two chatted for a few minutes and hugged it out before Ballmer went back to his super special rich guy owner section.
We're guessing paul is pretty pumped about the new guy in charge ... seems like a huge step up from the last racist ahole he worked for.
Kings lost Friday night ... but seems like a pretty big win for Clipper Nation.

After reports surfaced that federal investigators are looking into his trading history to see if he was involved in any Martha Stewart-esque style illegal activity over the past 3 years, Mickelson's lawyer issued a statement saying Phil is not n the FBI's crosshairs.
"Phil is not the target of any investigation, "Mickelson's attorney Glenn Cohen said.

The WSJ reports the feds believe Phil -- along with investor Carl Icahn and famous Vegas gambler Billy Walters -- may have "traded illicitly on non-public information from Mr. Ichan about his investments in public companies."
A lawyer for Icahn also said his camp does not know of any investigation.

'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' -- Housewives Jeopardize Next Season ... Fighting for More Money
EXCLUSIVE
More like 'Real GROUSEwives of Beverly Hills' -- Kyle Richards and co. are refusing to sign contracts to film the next season of the show ... effectively staging a holdout until they ALL get more money.
According to sources, 5 cast members have been asked to return for the fifth season -- Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards, Kim Richards, Brandi Glanville, and Yolanda Foster -- but so far, zero have agreed to come back.

As for who will replace the cast members who got bounced -- Joyce Giraud and Carlton Gebbia -- it's unclear ... but we're told the new fiancee of Yolanda's ex-husband is a front-runner. Wonder why.

Deion Sanders' Ex-Wife Pilar -- I Want MOOR Money
TMZ TV
Pilar Sanders -- Deion’s ex-wife -- just filed paperwork claiming she’s a Moorish National Aboriginal, and therefore doesn't answer to U.S. courts.
If this sounds like a clever way around a divorce court ruling that cut her off from Deion's millions ... that's only because it probably is. Also ... it probably won't work.

Gwyneth Paltrow -- Getting Trashed on the Internet Is Just Like War
breaking news
Gwyneth Paltrow is comparing meaningless Internet insults to the ravages of war -- real war -- claiming she's been dehumanized by widespread Internet trash-talking ... the same way a real-life soldier is dehumanized by blood, guts, bullets, night terrors, watching his friends die, and PTSD.
Shortly before her appearance at the Code tech conference this week, Paltrow said, "You come across [comments] about yourself and about your friends, and it’s a very dehumanizing thing. It’s almost like how, in war, you go through this bloody, dehumanizing thing, and then something is defined out of it."
Paltrow -- whose most recent life struggle was probably a scuffed nail -- added, “My hope is, as we get out of it, we’ll reach the next level of conscience.”
It's basically like that empty statement Tom Cruise made comparing acting to war ... minus all the physical exertion.
Paltrow added, "“It’s taken me a long time to get to the point where I can see these things and not take it as a personal affront and a hurt. I see myself as a chalkboard or a whiteboard or a screen, and someone is just putting up their own projection on it."
Cindy McCain -- the wife of John McCain (an actual veteran) -- has already torn Paltrow to shreds on Twitter, writing, "Gweneth Paltrow [sic] is a joke ... Perhaps Gweneth Paltrow should go out on patrol with some soldiers. Kind of like a Red Carpet in her mind I guess!"

But Simmons fired back ... claiming the whole thing was made up, and he "would never be mean, especially to mothers."
Stanley also tweeted that the whole mess was just a "misunderstanding of joking."
Stonestreet accepted the sort-of-apology with a white flag tweet, "Thank u for that. She did tell me you let her go first. I will tape my glow in the dark KISS posters back together now."
