He weighs as much as Pavarotti's calf muscle (RIP), but the little kid who blew our minds (and our eardrums) with his freakish operatic ability is back -- and this time he's droppin' an entire verse!

Gummi Bear's new make-out partner looked pleased with the nickname we came up with for her -- and it sure beats him comparing her to an "older sister." "Flowers in the Attic" anyone?
One thing they weren't happy about: Our photog breaking the news that Gum Gum lost a "Who'd You Rather" poll to bin Laden. At least he beat Mini-Me.

English is Will Ferrell's first language -- just don't expect him to understand it when spoken by an actual Englishman.

Amanda Beard squashed any and all romantic rumors between her and Michael Phelps today with one crushing low blow -- saying, "Ew. That's Nasty." 
He may have won eight gold medals -- but Phelps got no love from Beard who bashed her fellow Olympian over and over again on the "Johnjay and Rich in the Morning" radio show. Beard, who once stripped naked for Playboy, even went further with the insults saying she could never date Phelps because she has "really good taste."
Guess young, successful and ripped don't count for anything...

Samantha Ronson has gained fame through Lindsay Lohan -- and now her little bro is rebounding off her.
Sam's half-bro, Alexander Dexter-Jones, is getting newfound fame for being known as Samantha Ronson's deejaying brother. TMZ obtained pics of Alex spinning at The Plumm in NYC, and dude even went as far to sport a Sam-like fedora.
As for SamRo, he says they talk daily and when asked about the media's obsession with her Alex said, "Opinions are like a**holes, everyone has one." Wit must run on Sam's Dad's side.

George Hamilton is desperate for some baking -- and shockingly we're not talking about a tanning bed.
We're told Orange George was looking to sweeten the deal on a new condo in a luxury high-rise on Wilshire Blvd, so he added the following clause -- free cookies for a year!
According to Coco Clayman-Cook, the seller's agent, after the tan man devoured the goods from Tutu Bakery -- which happens to be owned by the seller's wife -- he demanded they throw in a dozen cookies every month for a year after closing.
Now we know it's a buyer's market out there.

We tried interviewing hot little Japanese bikini model Yukina Kinoshita yesterday in Bev Hills. Our papper even tried spitting a little game in her native tongue. 
Unfortunately, our photog had no idea what the hell she was saying.

She may very well be a homewrecker, but when one pap -- not TMZ's -- called Sienna Miller that name to her face at LAX yesterday -- Miller was pissed!

The pre-teen hysteria caused by the Jonas Brothers has been compared to Beatlemania -- so we challenged the boys, who weren't even fetuses when the Fab Four were huge, to name just one -- ONE -- of Beatles.
It didn't go well ... but we're just surprised our photog knew all three Jonases by first name.

They might try and act all sweet and innocent, but when the stars let their dark side out, there's no telling what's in store. Being dirty never looked so good.

Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber were actually smiling for once, until one pap -- not TMZ's -- asked about those topless pictures from Italy.
Cheer up, Rande, at least your wife actually won our poll pitting her against a half naked Heidi Klum.

Villa had one hell of last call last night! Patrons, including Emmanuelle Chriqui, were forced out into the streets when someone supposedly let off some pepper spray inside the club. 
Other than a bunch of coughing -- everybody was fine.

Everybody's heard of a having a smoke break -- but having a smoke break in between kisses ... that's how Gummi Bear's hookup rolls!
We're unsure if she was trying to get the taste of Gummi out of her mouth, or the cigarette.
WARNING: Video is graphic in nature.
