Suck it up Northeast, and learn a lesson from Andy Samberg ... who made the most of the massive storm which dropped at least a foot of snow in NYC.

The "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star strapped on a pair of skis and cruised right down city streets.

That's how you handle a snowstorm ... like a boss.

42-year-old mother of four and cancer survivor Brooke Burke-Charvet knows how to live life to the fullest ... and tightest ... flaunting her ridiculously toned body at a gas station in Malibu today.

Just to recap: this "Dancing with the Stars" badass is 42, she has 4 kids (3 daughters and 1 son) and recently beat thyroid cancer following a scary diagnosis in 2012. And she can still look this good.

FYI, Brooke is currently married to former "Baywatch" star David Charvet.

Gotta love California.

The 18-year-old who Kanye West allegedly beat up last week in a chiropractor's waiting room has approached the rapper, asking for a ton of money to settle the case without criminal prosecution ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with the 18-year-old tell us ... his lawyer called Kanye's people and expressed the desire to strike a civil settlement -- FOR A PRICE -- several hundred thousand dollars.

We're told the 18-year-old is adamant -- he does NOT want to go through a public trial. As we reported ... Kim Kardashian claims the young man was hurling racial epithets, calling her a "n***er lover" among other things. We're also told he has not been responsive with the police since the incident.

As for the $$$ ... although eyewitnesses in the Beverly Hills chiropractor's office say Kanye pummeled the guy ... we're hearing he has no apparent injuries. Nonetheless, avoiding a criminal trial has a price.

Freedom isn't the only thing Jason Trawick gained after breaking up with Britney Spears -- and he's not tripping one bit ... proudly showing off his new gut during a weekend pizza run in Hollywood.

Oh yeah, he got Popeye's too.

Spears and Trawick -- her former agent -- famously started dating in 2010 and were engaged the following year. Barely a year after that, they were single again.

What a waist.

As for the pizza ... our own Gary says, "All fat guys know ... you never eat the pizza out of the box right outside the store. C'mon man."

4:28 PM PT -- Jason just responded on Twitter with a big belly photo, writing, "Thanks @tmz I needed this. Started my diet/workout program today. C u in a month!"

You're welcome ... but a month's pretty ambitious.

Forget supermodel butt washer ... there's a new best job in the world ... SUPERMODEL BOOB HOLDER.

And just in time too -- Maryna Linchuk nearly suffered a wardrobe emergency on the beach over the weekend in St. Barts ... stripping out of her bikini and into another outfit ... and her loyal boob-covering attendant jumped to the rescue. No nip slips here! Unfortunately.

Justin Bieber's problem with sizzurp had early warning signs ... but no one picked up on them.

We went back and looked at this photo ... taken last month. You see a skate ramp in Justin's backyard, covered in spray paint.

Check out the reference to "double cup," with a styrofoam cup next to it. Double cup is code for lean mixed with double the amount of codeine.

As we first reported ... we've learned Bieber has been deep into the lean game lately -- it's codeine and promethazine mixed with Sprite and a Jolly Rancher. Bieber's also been abusing Rx drugs, as well as booze and weed.

Rihanna blew her top again yesterday -- and this time, the singer stripped down to just her bikini bottoms on the beach in Brazil ... in front of lots and lots of people.

Rihanna wasn't just getting naked for fun though -- not like she's opposed to it -- she was posing in a fashion shoot for Vogue magazine, which apparently continues to do God's work. Keep it up, folks.

Gotta love Brazil ... or as we like to call it, NO BRA-zil.

The 18-year-old who got attacked in a doctor's waiting room by Kanye West is on VIDEO -- outside the building and before the confrontation -- and he appears to taunt the paparazzi as Kim Kardashian walks in.

The barely-a-man screams to Kim, "They're whack, dude. You have to deal with that everyday?" He then excitedly hops up the front steps like a rabbit.

The video stops as Kim walks in. TMZ broke the story ... Kim claims the man then started to hurl epithets to Kim about the paparazzi, calling them "n*****s" and "fa****s" Kim says she then called him out for using the word and then he turned on her, calling her a "n****r lover." At that point Kim called Kanye on his cell -- he was nearby -- and the guy apparently knew Kanye was listening and he called the rapper a "n****r."

We're told the guy walked into his chiropractor's office and Kanye and Kim followed shortly thereafter, and eyewitnesses tell TMZ Kanye punched him in the face.

Kanye West just attacked an 18-year-old guy inside the waiting room of a chiropractor's office ... after the guy allegedly called Kanye the N-word ... TMZ has learned.

Kim was at a Beverly Hills medical building when she was swarmed by photogs. We're told the guy allegedly tried to help Kim get in the building, as he started screaming, "F**k these fa**ot-ass n****rs"" -- referring to the paparazzi. Kim then told him it was not appropriate to use the N-word. We're told he then screamed at her, "F**k you bitch. Just trying to help you. Shut up n****r lover, stupid slut."

Apparently that got Kim hot as fish grease ... she watched the guy walk into an office. As they were walking we're told the guy continued berating Kim. She dialed Kanye on his cell, and when the guy realized Kanye was on the phone he allegedly said, "F**k you N****r." Kanye -- who had just arrived at the building -- then met up with Kim.

Sources say Kanye and Kim rushed into the waiting room of chiropractor Richard Hill and found the 18-year-old sitting there. Witnesses say Kanye punched the guy and Kim screamed, "We have it all on tape."

Sources say the massage therapist in the office separated the 2 men. Beverly Hills cops were called and the 18-year-old said he wanted to press charges.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Kanye is now officially a suspect in a battery investigation and they want to interview him. We're also told the matter will be referred to the L.A. County D.A. for possible prosecution.

Remember -- Kanye is currently facing assault charges involving a photog attack at LAX.

Safety first ... is not exactly a priority for Gisele Bundchen, who took her 1-year-old daughter on an ATV ride yesterday in Costa Rica -- without a helmet.

Gisele wasn't doing wheelies or anything, but it's still pretty dangerous, considering she was driving one-handed and holding on to her baby daughter Vivian Lake with the other.

For the record, it's illegal to ride an ATV on public land in Costa Rica without a helmet. Gisele's driving down to the beach, but it's unclear if the beach is private.

Tori Spelling got a notice from her landlord to either pay up or get out ... but we're told Tori has already gotten out AND paid up.

Tori and her family moved out of their Tarzana house last month for more expensive digs, but there was this little matter of unpaid rent that pissed off the landlord ... pissed him off enough to slap a legal notice on the front fence to either up pay back rent or face formal eviction.

If this story isn't tracking, that means you're following it ... fact is, Tori had already moved, so there wasn't anybody to evict. There was however the matter of more than $7K in unpaid rent.

Tori's lawyer says the delinquency was just a "clerical error" and the rent has been paid through January. Apparently there's some bad blood between landlord and tenants -- Tori's people tell us the landlord was a nightmare and failed to repair numerous items which caused them to move before the lease was up.

A few times she's been around this track ... but she ain't no pregnant fat girl, she ain't no pregnant fat girl!

Gwen Stefani stepped out for lunch Friday in Beverly Hills at Mr. Chow ... and despite being several months pregnant -- with her third chld -- the singer still looked extremely do-able.

Hey baby, hey baby.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has 2 very good reasons NOT to finalize his divorce ... and one has to do with writing a big fat check to Maria Shriver.

As you know ... Maria filed for divorce in July, 2011, after finding out her hubby had been banging the maid and produced a son.

Sources familiar with Arnold's situation tell TMZ ... there's no prenup so under California law it's pretty simple -- 50/50. And our sources say there's no real issue over custody of their only minor child.

So why, you ask, has this divorce dragged on 2 1/2 years? We're told Arnold doesn't want to write a gargantuan check to Maria ... and we know how much -- and it hurts.

Sources tell us their net worth is around $400 million. We're told Arnold knows Maria is entitled to half -- but knowing it and watching around $200 million leave your bank account are 2 very different things.

As for the second reason Arnold's in no hurry ... we're told he's getting pretty serious with his girlfriend, physical therapist Heather Milligan. If Arnold gets divorced, the pressure's on for him to pop the question ... and Arnold's not necessarily a one woman kind of guy.

Just ask the maid.

Beyonce and Jay Z celebrated Blue Ivy's 2nd birthday in spectacular fashion ... closing down an entire theme park -- for a celebration that the kid will never remember.

Blue Ivy spent the day Tuesday with lemurs, orangutans, kangaroos and penguins at Jungle Island -- a wildlife park and botanical garden in Miami.

Park officials are keeping the cost under wraps ... but it's gotta be pricey to close the entire park. Put it this way ... a VIP safari tour for just one person costs $240.

Anne Hathaway got ripped in Hawaii yesterday ... and it was almost a disaster.

Anne was soaking in the Oahu sun with hubby Adam Shulman ... when she decided to take a dip. What she wasn't counting on -- a gnarly riptide.

Luckily, a local surfer heard her screams and raced out to rescue her ... bringing her safely back to shore. But just like a bad movie, it wasn't over ... not even close.

On her way in, Anne cut her foot on a reef, and the blood started flowing. Once on shore, Adam took over and immediately pulled a Quentin Tarantino -- sucking possible toxins out of her toe.

She was grimacing for sure, but not for long. Later in the day she posed on the beach for pics with fans.

But while the old man dong was out in full force ... an uncomfortable looking Olivia eventually laughed the whole thing off.
