Gaga's Handcuffs -- TSA Approved
Lady Gaga cleared security at LAX yesterday with handcuffs, and it turns out she's nobody special ... because TSA doesn't prohibit them.
We were pretty shocked ... but a TSA spokesperson tells TMZ handcuffs are not on the "Prohibited Items List."
As for what you're not allowed to carry on ... the list includes, billy clubs, brass knuckles, kubatons, nightsticks, nunchakus, dynamite, flares, cattle prods, drills and gas torches.

The Situation -- He Shore Found a Nice Apartment
When The Situation decided to go apartment hunting in Los Angeles, he picked out a place with the most guido-sounding name he could find -- The Palazzo. Ay-oh!
But in all seriousness ... The Palazzo is a giant, swanky apartment community the size of a small city that happens to be located right near the CBS lot where "Dancing with the Stars" shoots. We're told he had his eyes on a unit that ran more than $5k per month ... but no sweat off his brow -- "DWTS" picks up the tab.
And the best part -- he doesn't have to share a bathroom with Angelina!

Michael Richards Pap Confrontation -- The Pics
The paparazzo who claims Michael Richards kicked his ass during a violent confrontation last month has finally released the pics from the incident ... and the photos seem to tell a very different story.
As we first reported, a photog named Brendon O'Neal (not employed by TMZ) is suing Richards -- claiming the "Seinfeld" actor approached him on an L.A. street on August 25 in a "menacing manner ... with closed fists" -- then proceeded to beat the crap out of him.
But in the pics, Richards appears to be cracking a smile -- definitely non-menacing -- and the only reason his fist could even be considered "closed" ... is because he's clutching his keys.
Obviously, we don't know what happened in between the shots -- but the photog claims he suffered "great mental, physical, and nervous pain" during the alleged altercation.
Calls to Michael's reps have not been returned -- but we're assuming he's gonna deny any wrongdoing.

'Glee' Star -- Rollin' on Extremely Expensive Dubs!

The 28-year-old "Glee" star was rollin' around L.A. this weekend in a cherry red Ferrari California ... which start at $190,000.
FYI -- the car can go from 0 to 60 mph in less than four seconds ... and tops out at around 193 mph.
Not bad for someone who started off as a greeter at Walmart.
