Israel Claps Back at Ayatollah with 'Mean Girls' Clip 'Why Are You Obsessed With Me?'
Iran's dictator went off on Israel by calling it a "malignant cancerous tumor" ... but Israel took the pop culture route and responded with an EPIC "Mean Girls" GIF.
A Twitter account believed to belong to the Ayatollah tweeted to its nearly 500k followers, saying Iran's stance against Israel is the same as always. The Ayatollah spewed a bunch of political stuff -- we'll spare you the details -- but what caught our attention was the Embassy of Israel's official Twitter account clapping back.
BURRRRRRRRN!!! Dialing up the classic 2004 chick flick for the clapback heard 'round the world? Not something you see everyday. Politics. Gotta love it.
The Ayatollah doesn't have many fans in Hollywood. As we reported ... "Shahs of Sunset" star Reza Farahan wished death to the Iranian dictator and his family last month after the reality star shockingly said he agreed with Trump's decision to pull out of the Iranian nuclear deal.

TMZ Staffer Murders Perfectly Innocent Steak
We love Dennis. Love him. So much.
But what he did to this piece of meat is nothing short of homicide. He managed to kill something that was already dead.
Dennis decided to pan sear (and then bake) a bone-in rib eye steak Sunday night and documented it on Twitter.
There was a ton of garlic. Some side-searing action ... and a $9 nonstick pan. It's hard to watch.
For the record, Dennis insists the final product was "delicious."
None of us actually believe that.
R.I.P.

Buffalo Wild Wings Twitter Hacked Wings. Beer. Oh God, No!!!
Buffalo Wild Wings just became the latest victim of a Twitter hacking -- perhaps by the Russians, perhaps by a rogue employee -- but either way ... it wasn't very nice.
The sports bar franchise's official Twitter page fired off several racist and vulgar tweets Friday night, which were up for about 20 minutes before somebody realized and got them deleted.
Some of the hacked tweets contained hateful comments including the n-word, while another claimed the restaurant's secret wings recipe contained ... well, something very gross.
There was also a vile joke directed at Wendy's.
It's unclear who's responsible, but BWW's Twitter account is back to normal and any activity from the past 6 hours has been deleted.
6:00 PM PT -- There was also this tweet during the hack -- a photo of a man covering up half of his face ... so it's possible he's the culprit.

Lena Dunham JK on the 'Roseanne' Spin-off ... I'm Busy Right Now!
Lena Dunham was apparently yanking our chain when she said she'd be down to write a new show for the remaining characters on "Roseanne." Joke's on us.
We got the "Girls" creator -- who acted in and wrote for the HBO show -- at LAX Thursday, where we asked if she was serious about her Twitter offer to "do the spin off of your show starring Darlene's cool kids."
I will do the spin off of your show starring Darlene’s cool kids https://t.co/5A2129BTl0
@lenadunham
Lena had retweeted Mindy Kaling, who offered to "write things" for John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf -- just a couple of the many folks who are now out of a job after ABC pulled the plug. As you might've heard, Roseanne's racist tweet completely tanked the show.
Welp ... turns out Lena is NOT actually interested at the moment. She tells our photog, on a scale of 0-10 as far as seriousness ... it's at the very bottom.
False alarm, everyone. Carry on.

Roseanne Hey, Lefties ... I'm a Jew, Quit Lynching Me!!
Roseanne Barr is getting torn apart, unfairly mind you, by liberals out to attack "a Jew" ... at least according to Roseanne Barr.
Despite her twice issued threat to get off Twitter for good, Roseanne continued tweeting up a storm late Wednesday ... replying to the barrage of comments about her racist tweet and ABC swiftly responding by yanking "Roseanne" off the air.
In one tweet she said, "I'm not sure, but I think I spent the last 24 hours watching the party of inclusion, diversity, understanding, and acceptance, lynch a Jew."
Seems Roseanne's already forgotten her 'muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes' description of Valerie Jarrett.
She also claimed to be the victim of anti-Semitism when some of her detractors called her out over the 2009 photo shoot she did ... dressed as Hitler putting human-shaped cookies in an oven.
She insisted she's not a racist, and merely made, "One stupid joke in a lifetime of fighting 4 civil rights 4 all minorities."

Larry King on Roseanne I've Known Her for Years, Unbelievable ... Sound Familiar?
Larry King seems baffled by everyone he's known for decades ... and yes, you can add Roseanne Barr to that list.
The ex-CNN talk show host was out Wednesday in Bev Hills reflecting on Roseanne's swift nose dive following her extremely racist tweet, saying he didn't think that was the woman he's known for 30 years ... calling her recent pivot into extreme bigotry "bizarre."
Sounds like the people he was once chummy with have changed A LOT since the good ol' days, including President Trump ... whom Larry also said he didn't know anymore.
On the bright side ... the ice cream cone looks delish.

John Legend on Roseanne She's a Racist Idiot
John Legend has only two words to describe Roseanne Barr in the wake of her Twitter scandal ... and they rhyme with racist and idiot.
We got John and his wife, Chrissy Teigen, leaving Il Pastaio Wednesday in Bev Hills with their daughter, Luna, hanging onto mom ... but no sign of their newborn, Miles.
They were getting peppered with questions from paps -- from whether they'd be hitting up Kanye's listening party for his forthcoming album and if they thought Kim could change hearts in D.C., but it wasn't until John was asked about Roseanne that he answered.
Remember ... Roseanne tanked her own show after calling former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett a baby born out of the "muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes."
All that considered, you gotta wonder if John's got a point.

Tiny I Wish 'Roseanne' Hadn't Been Canceled
ABC went too far by canceling "Roseanne" according to T.I.'s wife, Tiny, who says there are people who've gotten away with tweeting and saying worse things than Roseanne Barr did.
We got Tiny at LAX Tuesday night and she made it clear she's a huge fan of the "Roseanne" reboot -- and was bummed to hear it had been canceled due to Roseanne's racist tweet about Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.
Tiny wasn't giving Roseanne a pass for the bigotry, but did say she's heard worse ... and would have preferred to see ABC take a different approach.
Her concern goes beyond being a fan of the show, it's more about the innocent people affected by Roseanne's screwup.

Meek Mill Judge Brinkley Stays on His Case No New Trial Yet, Either
9:20 AM PT -- Meek's attorney, Joe Tacopina, tells us they will take their argument to the Pennsylvania Supreme court to try to get the case reassigned.
Meek Mill got some bad news in court Wednesday morning ... the judge who's been a thorn in his side is officially staying on his criminal case.
A separate state court judge in Philly denied Meek's bid to strip his pending case away from Judge Genece Brinkley, saying he couldn't overrule another judge of equal standing and adding "I wear the same robe as she does."
It's interesting though -- Meek's legal team presented a new argument in court by alleging that Brinkley had claimed in a civil lawsuit that she'd suffered a head injury ... and was disabled and incapacitated. The suit is from an accident in 2016 that Brinkley was in -- with the judge suing a woman who was also allegedly involved. She claims she suffered "severe head trauma."
As we reported ... Meek has been clamoring for a new judge and a new trial since getting released from prison last month. Looks like neither is happening for now.

T.I. on Roseanne Racist Tweet Fueled by Ambien?! GTFOH w/ Excuses!!!
T.I. straight-up says you wouldn't let a crackhead use being on crack as an excuse for a robbery ... so there's no excusing Roseanne for firing off a racist tweet just because she was on Ambien.
We got the rapper leaving Craig's on Tuesday night in WeHo and had to ask him about "Roseanne" getting canned after the disgraced comedian said President Obama aide Valerie Jarrett was the spawn of the "muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes."
T.I.'s reacting to Roseanne pulling the I-Was-Ambien-Tweeting excuse can be summed up with 3 simple letters -- SMH. We also ask the rapper about Pusha T's album cover, his beef with Drake and what it means for hip-hop.
Tip's got strong feelings about that, too.

Roseanne Barr I Was Ambien Tweeting ... And I Thought Valerie Was Jewish
Roseanne Barr SAID she was swearing off Twitter, but that lasted a nanosecond before she pounded away with a flurry of tweets, saying her racist comment was Ambien-induced and then she obliquely claimed it wasn't racist because she thought Valerie Jarrett was a Jew.
Roseanne wrote, "It was 2 in the morning and i was ambien tweeting - it was memorial day."
She went on ... "i honestly thought she was Jewish and Persian -- ignorant of me for sure, but ... i did."
And then she attacked her co-stars ... she tweeted Michael Fishman, who played DJ, saying, "I created the platform for that inclusivity and you know it ... You throw me under the bus. nice!"
And then she sympathized with Trump, "I feel bad for POTUS - he goes thru this every single day."
And then she faced reality ... "im not getting my job back, genius - it's gone and so r all my old shows."
76ers Investigating Bryan Colangelo Burner Account Allegations Are 'Serious'
The Philadelphia 76ers have announced they've launched an investigation into team honcho Bryan Colangelo ... to find out if he was REALLY leaking confidential team info through burner Twitter accounts.
Colangelo was allegedly using 5 secret accounts to trash various 76ers players -- including Joel Embiid, Markelle Fultz and former players Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor, according to The Ringer.
In the case of Okafor, Colangelo allegedly leaked private medical information that only a few people in the organization would know.
The team has now issued this statement ...
"An online media outlet filed a story linking multiple social media accounts to 76ers President of Basketball Operations Bryan Colangelo."
"The allegations are serious and we have commenced an independent investigation into the matter."
"We will report the results of that investigation as soon as it is concluded."
Colangelo has denied trashing players on Twitter -- but 'fessed up to owning one of the Twitter accounts in question.
He added, "This storyline is disturbing to me on many levels."

John Goodman Doggone Depressed After 'Roseanne' Gets Axed
John Goodman's body language says it all -- he's beyond pissed after Roseanne Barr's racist comment led to the cancellation of their hit ABC sitcom.
Goodman -- who costarred as Dan Conner on "Roseanne" until Barr's decision to post a racist tweet resulted in the show getting the axe Tuesday -- was spotted out in New Orleans glumly walking his dog shortly after the news broke.
As we reported ... ABC made the call to pull the plug on "Roseanne" just hours after she tweeted a "joke" about former Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, saying, "muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby."
Clearly, Dan's had better days ... but it could be worse. At least he still has his loving dog by his side.

Southwest Airlines Investigating Alleged In-Flight Masturbater

EXCLUSIVE
- 1 shares
There was a possible hijacking on-board a Southwest Airlines flight ... and by that we mean some dude allegedly whacked off to porn on a plane.
Southwest was alerted by a female passenger who says she spent her entire flight from Las Vegas to Philadelphia "sitting next to a guy who has his iPad open on the tray table, watching porn, WITHOUT using headphones or anything."
The passenger added, "Twice now his body has started shaking in the throes of his orgasmic bliss. I’m so disgusted."
According to the passenger, the alleged dirtbag whipped out his penis in plain sight, ejaculated into a cocktail napkin and then handed it to a flight attendant to throw away.
"There’s no way your staff working on this flight haven’t witnessed what’s been happening," the woman said.
A rep for Southwest replied to the passenger on Twitter -- telling the woman to alert a flight attendant -- but the passenger refused because she felt it would put her "at risk."
Southwest then told the woman to speak with a crew member after the flight landed. The passenger did not like that plan either.
"Fine. I will stay aboard until everyone else gets off the flight, continuing the torture, because that’s exactly what someone who is being assaulted like this wants to do."
Marlon Wayans Roseanne's Next Gig? ABC Out, KKK In!

Marlon Wayans has an idea where Roseanne will land after ABC gave her show the boot ... and it's not with any of the major 3-letter networks.
We got the comedian at LAX on Tuesday and wanted to get his reaction to "Roseanne" getting axed just hours after a racist tweet about former President Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.
Marlon jokes he was actually the guy behind the tweet ... for selfish reasons, but then got serious about what could be Roseanne's comeback gig. Okay, maybe he wasn't serious. Maybe. Either way, it's pretty damn hilarious.
You'll recall, Marlon was majorly pissed off last week when friends of his got arrested at a Houston's in Atlanta.
He's found way more humor in Roseanne's screwup.

Obama Aide Valerie Jarrett I'm Fine After Roseanne Attack But, I Worry About Others
The woman Roseanne Barr called a baby born out of the Muslim brotherhood and 'Planet of the Apes' says she can deal with the racism -- but worries about those facing similar attacks out of the spotlight.
Barack Obama's former adviser, Valerie Jarrett, spoke on MSNBC Tuesday following Roseanne's racist comment, saying she's "fine" ... but adding she's concerned about those who don't have such a public support system coming to their defense.
She says she wants this to be a teaching moment, but notes that there are daily examples of racism black people experience that don't get the attention she's getting now.
BTW ... Valerie also calls out President Trump for setting the tone that she believes Roseanne followed and executed. Speaking of "Roseanne" ... she's all the way canceled.
She also says she got a call from Disney CEO Bob Iger, who apologized and said his company has a "zero tolerance" for such hateful comments.
