They may not have always gotten along ... sometimes they may have hated each other ... but Sherri Shepherd says she's really gonna miss her friend Elisabeth Hasselbeck on "The View."

Shepherd was at LAX, where she had just arrived from shooting a movie with Chris Rock -- when she told us she was "really depressed" that she wasn't at "The View" for Hasselbeck's big announcement.

Sherri says she's excited to work with Liz's possible replacement, Jenny McCarthy -- who will undoubtedly "cause some stuff" on the show -- but explains, "I've been with Elisabeth for almost eight years ..."

Rihanna violated karaoke etiquette at a bar in Germany this weekend -- hogging the mic to yell and sing her way through TWO songs in a row -- but it's Rihanna so no one complained ... duh.

It all went down at the Thai Royal Bar in Cologne ... where a baseball cap-sportin' Rihanna and a friend sang "Don't Speak" by No Doubt ... followed by "Sex on Fire" by Kings of Leon.

Looking like a Sith lord, Kanye West spent some quality 1-on-1 time with his baby's mama's mama Kris Jenner in Los Angeles today ... and shocker, he wasn't in a very friendly mood!

Kanye made it clear he didn't wanna talk right from the start ... and Kris, obviously aware of Kanye's explosive temper, playfully (or nervously) signaled to the photog to back off before K blew his top.

Thankfully, the photog took Kris' warning ... and no one was hurt in the making of this clip.

It's the first time we've seen Kanye out in public since the birth of his daughter North.

As we previously reported, Kim is in hiding with the child at a secret location so they can bond without the cameras around.

There are rumors that Kim will debut the kid on Kris' new talk show.

Racial scandals aren't always bad for business ... just ask Paula Deen's brother who says the embattled chef's restaurants have been "slammed" with customers in the wake of the N-word drama.

Bubba Hiers -- who is also named as a defendant in the sexual and racial harassment lawsuit against Paula -- was walking around Savannah today when he was asked how the family was coping.

"We're doing fine," Bubba said ... and when asked if Deen's businesses were continuing to thrive despite all of the bad media, he insisted the companies were "slammed" ... and he meant it in a good way.

FYI -- Lisa Jackson, the woman suing Paula and Bubba, worked as the G.M. for Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House in Savannah, Georgia from 2005 - 2010. Bubba is part owner along with Paula.

Jackson claims Bubba is a racist who dropped the N-word in the workplace and also viewed porn on the kitchen computer.

Justin Bieber was under investigation for a possible hit and run accident involving a paparazzo overnight -- but police have now cleared him of any wrongdoing ... TMZ has learned.

Justin was leaving the Laugh Factory on Sunset Boulevard around 11:45 PM in his infamous white Ferrari. His pal Lil Twist was there as a passenger, and several paps were on scene shooting the duo.

Once Justin got behind the wheel he motioned for some of the photogs to clear out of the way -- but when he drove off he appeared to pin one of them between the Ferrari and a parked car.

Justin did not stop.

LAPD launched an investigation and interviewed Justin a few hours after the incident ... and he told cops he didn't know he hit the photographer (not a TMZ employee).

Police say the photog was not seriously hurt, but was at fault because he was a pedestrian in the roadway.

We're told Miley arrived first (she's a regular at the place) ... with Justin showing up around 1:50 AM and heading straight for Miley's table.

We're told the two hung out for roughly 15 minutes ... laughing and flirting together ... and they both left the theater at the same time, just after 2 AM. It's unclear where they went after the show.

Hours before the late-night rendezvous, Bieber's leopard-spotted Audi was seen leaving Miley's L.A. home on Saturday.

FYI -- Miley and Bieber have been friends for years ... but it seems like there might be something more going on between the two.

Kanye West is grumpy ... super, duper grumpers ... and yesterday Mr. Grumperton took out his grumpiness on a really nice photog -- and it was all caught on tape.

Yesus was walking around NYC with his posse, when a photog -- not one of ours -- politely asked (from a safe distance) ... "What's good, Kanye?"

Kanye's response -- "DON'T ASK ME QUESTIONS, MAN!"

The pap said goodbye to KW ... but then he made a fatal mistake -- he wished Kanye a happy belated birthday!!!

Kanye's response -- SHUT UP! DON'T EVER TALK!

Where's a good parking sign when you need one?

Shawne Merriman looked like a million bucks walking out of the gym today in L.A. -- completely laughing off rumors that he suffered from a drug overdose last night.

As we reported, the 29-year-old retired NFL star was transported from Colony nightclub to an L.A. hospital around 9:30pm Sunday night, following a 911 call reporting that he had possibly OD'd.

The caller said Merriman was "barely conscious" -- but just hours later, following his brief trip to the hospital, Merriman was back at the club looking like normal.

Seems Justin Bieber's giving his Ferrari a break ... 'cause the singer's leopard-spotted Audi R8 was spotted at various spots in L.A. this weekend -- including Miley Cyrus' home.

Cameras rolled as Bieber's ride left Miley's home in Toluca Lake, CA on Saturday ... and while it's unclear if JB was in the driver's seat, it sure looks like it could be him ('cause the driver's white).

According to reports, Bieber's R8 could be worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $150k.

FYI -- it doesn't appear Justin switched from the Ferrari to the Audi to curb his alleged speeding problem -- 'cause the R8 goes from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and tops out at 186 mph.

Marilyn Manson dedicated a song to Paris Jackson at his concert in L.A. last night ... a song called "Disposable Teens" -- a track about a teenager who's angry with society.

Manson's dedication was simple -- just telling the crowd, "This song is for Paris Jackson."

The rocker then launched into "Disposable Teens." Here's a sampling of some of the lyrics:

"And I'm a black rainbow ... And I'm an ape of god ... I've got a face that's made for violence upon ... And I'm a teen distortion ... Survived abortion ... A rebel from the waist down."

"You say you wanted evolution ... The ape was a great big hit ...
You say you want a revolution, man ... And I say that you're full of sh*t."

We broke the story ... hours before Paris took a meat cleaver to her arm at her Calabasas home earlier this week, she "threw a fit" because she wasn't allowed to attend a Marilyn Manson show.

The Jackson family is standing strong after Paris Jackson's alleged suicide attempt early Wednesday morning ... at least according to Tito, who says the Jacksons are coping well.

As we reported, Paris has been surrounded by loved ones since she was rushed to the hospital for slashing herself with a meat cleaver and downing a bunch of Motrin. Last night, La Toya Jackson and Paris' birth mother Debbie Rowe paid her a visit.

Katherine Jackson was also present at the L.A. hospital.

Michael Lohan couldn't believe what he saw when he visited Lindsay in rehab this weekend, telling TMZ, his daughter's a totally new person and hasn't looked this healthy since her "Mean Girls" days.

Michael dropped by Betty Ford on Sunday to grab lunch with Lindsay and the two chatted for several hours. Michael tells TMZ, Lindsay's clear-eyed, 100% sober ... a completely different person.

According to Michael, Lindsay believes she's finally kicked her biggest substance problem -- taking Adderall while boozing -- and she's determined never to take Adderall again.

Chris Brown says he did nothing wrong when he was involved in a minor fender bender last week ... and claims the other driver has been ducking his attempts to discuss the matter ... TMZ has learned.

As TMZ first reported, Brown allegedly refused to give over his driver's license number (and provided incorrect insurance info) to the driver of a Mercedes he rear-ended ... which, if true, could put his probation in the Rihanna beating case in jeopardy.

But sources close to Chris tell TMZ he gave the woman all the correct info and when his lawyer attempted to contact her not long after the accident ... she hung up on him. We're told all subsequent calls from Chris' lawyer have gone unanswered.

Our sources also say that neither Chris, nor anyone in his camp, has been contacted by the LAPD so far. We're told Chris feels the photo below (taken at the scene of the accident) shows there was no damage to the other car.

Chris Brown has yet another legal problem to deal with, after crashing his car in Los Angeles near Toluca Lake.

The accident happened an hour or so ago ... The photog tells us Chris was driving his Range Rover with his GF du jour Karrueche Tran, when he rear-ended a Mercedes.

Chris parked in front of the Mercedes and then exchanged info with the Mercedes chick. The photog says damage to her car was "medium" ... as opposed to rare.

Paris Hilton's boyfriend lost his composure and aggressively pushed a female fan who got too close to the heiress in Cannes on Friday ... not once, but TWO TIMES, and it was all caught on tape.

The scene was utter mayhem -- Paris and River Viiperi were fighting through crowds of paparazzi to get into a party ... when one overzealous female fan got too close.

River -- clearly pissed off -- got physical with the woman and forcefully shoved her away ... but the lady kept coming back for more.

Paris finally snapped too and yelled at the woman to leave her alone -- but the woman didn't exactly comply.

Paris and River also went off on a security guard who tried to get handsy with Paris.

Wade Robson says he feels LIBERATED after opening up about the alleged sex abuse at the hands of Michael Jackson on national TV ... and says he hopes he inspires other people to "speak their truth."

Robson had just landed at LAX yesterday after his big tell-all interview with Matt Lauer on the "Today" show -- and said he has no regrets about going public with his MJ accusations.

While Wade's story is under fire -- considering he so vehemently DEFENDED Michael during the 2005 molestation trial -- the dance choreographer says he hopes his decision to come forward will be viewed as inspirational.

"If my coming forward and speaking the truth can help, honestly, one [person] to gain courage to speak their truth and begin the healing process then that would really be more than I could ask."
