EXCLUSIVE


0228-rancic-osbourne-tmz-01Giuliana Rancic and Kelly Osbourne's battle at "Fashion Police" is tearing down everything Joan Rivers built -- at least that's how show staffers feel ... TMZ has learned.

We're told Melissa Rivers is now doing everything in her power behind the scenes to keep her mom's legacy alive.

NASCAR Heist -- Race Car Thieves Caught On Camera


EXCLUSIVE


022715_nascar_launch_v2 NASCAR driver Travis Kvapil's #44 ride was jacked from a hotel parking lot -- and TMZ Sports obtained surveillance video of the heist.


The car and the truck that hauls it were both stolen out of the Drury Inn parking lot outside Atlanta -- and in the video you can see a Jeep SUV pull into the lot. One person dressed in black gets out of the Jeep, walks across the lot toward the transport trailer ... and the Jeep pulls away.


Next thing you see is the white transport trailer ... hauled by a black pickup truck ... tearing across the lot. Law enforcement sources tell us the GTA went down around 5 AM Friday -- and took less than a minute. So far cops have no leads on the suspects, but they're hoping this video will shed some light.


Kvapil's team was forced to pull out of this weekend's Sprint Cup race in Atlanta. It's a small independent team, and they don't have a backup car.


Team owner John Cohen tells TMZ Sports ... "Last night I was thinking, I should tell them to block the truck off [with another vehicle]. But I didn't say anything, and it got stolen." He says he doesn't think the crooks even knew what they were stealing since there are no identifying marks on the trailer.


He adds ... "I'm hoping they return it once they see what's inside. What can they do with a racecar?"

Seth MacFarlane Sued Over 'Ted' Bottle Openers ... We're Bear-y Mad

Sued Over 'Ted' Bottle Openers


... We're Bear-y Mad



0226-SUB-teb-bottle-opener-01


Seth MacFarlane screwed a talking bottle opener company by hawking a rip-off version to promote "Ted" ... this according to the inventor of the talking bottle opener -- and to make things right, he's looking for lots of dough.


The creator says he's been selling talking bottle openers for years -- over 10 million units worldwide to date -- and licensed the concept to several companies ... including Twentieth Century Fox, who made "Family Guy" talking openers in 2006.


According to the suit ... a special edition "Ted" DVD was released in 2012 with a talking bottle opener which he says copies his openers -- and because of the "Family Guy" product he made, the creator believes Seth intentionally jacked him.


The guy wants ALL the money made off of the product -- plus, NINE TIMES the damages.


Someone's gonna need a thunder buddy.

Bobbi Kristina -- No Signs of Improvement ... Still in a Coma


EXCLUSIVE


0225-bobbi-kristina-instagram-01


Bobbi Kristina is not getting better. She is still unresponsive, in a coma, and showing no signs of getting better.


Family sources tell TMZ ... stories that Bobbi Kristina is being taken out of her coma are not accurate. We're told the only change in treatment is that doctors tried weaning her off certain meds to see if she might react but nothing happened. She's in the same condition she's been in for weeks.


Our sources say there have been signs of organ deterioration but she's still basically in the same, unresponsive condition she's been in since a few days after the accident.


As for the tracheotomy, we're told doctors performed the procedure not because she was getting better, but because it's standard operating procedure when a patient might linger in a comatose state for a long period of time.


Our sources say it's possible Bobbi Kristina could hang on for a long period of time in the same state, despite signs of organ failure . It's ultimately up to Bobby Brown to decide how long she'll live in that state.

Paris Hilton -- Obsessed Fan Gets Crazy with Classic Caddy


EXCLUSIVE


0225_paris_hilton_car_wm-2Paris Hilton has an obsessed fan who seems to be as loaded as he is angry, because he bought her an amazing classic Cadillac, and when she refused it someone mysteriously trashed the whip.


The guy -- whose first name is Johnny -- delivered the Caddy to Paris' Bev Hills gated community on Oscar Sunday. We're told the guard at the front gate called Paris and described Johnny and Paris said she was calling the cops because he's been harassing her for years.


The car sat on the street for 2 days, and on Tuesday someone bashed in all the windows. Paris is convinced Johnny's the culprit because she wouldn't accept the gift, complete with flowers in the backseat.


Law enforcement sources say they've been on Johnny for a long time. He once flew a plane over the Hilton's Malibu compound with 2 signs, one of which read, "Can't Get Paris Whitney Hilton Out of My Mind." The other read, "Mr. & Mrs. Hilton, may I court your daughter Paris?"


0225_paris_hilton_skybanner_instagramJohnny also once sent Paris a really expensive wedding dress in the mail with a card that read, "Will you marry me."


As for the Caddy, it's still sitting on the street because it's legally parked and registered to Johnny.
