It all went down around 3 AM when Snipes was leaving Ecco nightclub with his friends. Just watch the video, it's pretty damn hilarious.

And for the record -- TMZ does not negotiate with kidnappers.

Snowboarder's Brutal Meltdown Over Broken Ice

A snowboarding legend bashes an ice sculpture at a corporate event ... then verbally brutalizes the security guard who tries to handle the situation -- and the ballistic confrontation is all caught on tape.



It all went down last week during a sales event in Colorado at which Luke "Dingo" Trembath was supposed to present an award. Instead, the star of "The Adventures of Danny and The Dingo" presented a display in debauchery -- knocking over a very pricey piece of frozen water.

When security confronted the former ESPN commentator about the ice incident, he went ballistic, calling the security guy a "f**king f**got" and screaming, "You're a piece of sh*t that makes f**king nothing."

Cops were eventually called over to mediate. Dingo tells us the police just asked him to go home ... which he did, "Gladly."

'Jersey Shore' Chick -- History of Flipping Out

Snooki -- the self-described "guidette" from "Jersey Shore" -- has a penchant for attention whoring on the beach ... in fact, one incident was caught on tape back in 2007.



TMZ came across this footage of the Princess of Poughkeepsie busting out a series of bikini-clad back handsprings way before she got her gig with MTV.

Who knew she could be this entertaining ... without a drink in her hand?

Kramer Turns Racist Rant Into a Joke

Three years ago today, Michael Richards took the stage at the Laugh Factory and unleashed the racist tirade that would change his life forever -- but now he's turning the whole thing into a joke ... arguably inappropriate.



Richards made light of the rant on this weekend's episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm." During one of the scenes, Richards -- playing himself -- blows his top at an African-American character, saying, "If only there were a horrible name that I could call you ... that would make you as angry as I am."

A group of spectators who witness the tirade instantly whip out their cell phones and begin to record. Richards, realizing the similarity of events, screams and bolts.

Couple of problems here: First off, the original tirade was shot on a DIGITAL CAMERA -- not a cell phone.

Second: Is Richards mocking himself ... or the digital-recording culture that exposed his greatest mistake? In other words, is Richards and "Curb" trying to make a bad joke out of a serious situation?

Carrie Prejean Pulls Out of Speaking Gig

Carrie PrejeanTMZ has learned Carrie Prejean just pulled out of a talk she was supposed to give this afternoon at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington D.C. -- an exclusive club for Republicans only.

An insider at the Capitol Hill Club tells TMZ Carrie canceled five minutes before she was supposed to speak because her camp wanted to avoid a repeat of last night's "Larry King Live" fiasco -- when she almost walked off the set.

Carrie faced a fresh wave of criticism this morning after her former hookup told us she wanted him to lie about her sex tape and tell people she was underage when she filmed it ... when she was really 20-years-old.

Lindsay's Dad Makes Desperate Plea -- to Maury?

Once again proving how out of touch he is with his daughter, Michael Lohan went on the Maury Povich show today and delivered a televised message to LiLo in which he insulted her ... and then promised to "save her life."

Michael Lohan: Click to watch
First Mike called Lindsay a "hollow person" ... then claimed there was "nothing left in her" -- and finally said he "couldn't even look at her."

Then, after the dramatic plea, Michael actually had the stones to say, "I hate to speak out publicly like this..."

Right....

FYI -- Today's show was called "You're 14 ... Stop Lap Dancing and Trying to Get Pregnant."

Stay classy, Michael.

La-Z-Boy Driver: I Was Trying to Pop a Wheelie

The dude who was arrested for drunk driving a motorized recliner says he wrecked his kick-ass ride because he was trying to pop a wheelie ... and the CHICK RIDING ON THE BACK OF THE La-Z-Boy threw off his balance!

Dennis LeRoy
We just got off the phone with 61-year-old Dennis LeRoy, who told us the only thing harder to do than pop a wheelie on a racing chair after slamming 8 beers is popping a wheelie on a racing chair with a chick on the back after slamming 8 beers.

The added weight must have thrown off LeRoy's already dicey equilibrium -- because the unfortunate passenger ended up getting tossed from the ride and LeRoy ended up slamming into a parked car ... which landed him in the slammer.

Don't forget, people ... tricks are for kids!

Mickey Rourke Uses Football to Defend Gay Slur

Mickey Rourke tried using a football situation to defend his constant use of the incredibly offensive, homophobic f-word -- but this rant definitely isn't doing him any favors.

WARNING: This video contains extremely explicit language.



Mickey randomly went on an expletive filled diatribe the other night in NYC, saying his much criticized use of the word last November had "nothing to do with gay" and explained, "punkass ... f**got .... it's the same thing, understand?"

Somehow we don't think GLAAD will.

Macy Gray Drops 'Cherry' Bomb on 'Dancing'

Macy Gray made quite an impression on the "Dancing with the Stars" judges last night -- but it had more to do with her breaking out the phrase "busted my cherry" on live television than her Viennese Waltz.

It's clear the judges will always remember Macy's first time.

Male Stripper Propositions George Clooney

He was only supposed to take questions from the reporters, but suddenly George Clooney was taking in a whole lot more when a fake journalist began stripping off his clothes and professing his love right to the Cloon's face!

George Clooney: Click to watch
It all went down in Italy earlier today when the dude snuck into the presser for the Venice Film Festival by posing as a reporter. But once he got the mic, the clothes came off and he started yelling things like, "Please, take me George!"

Clooney played it cool -- tellin' the not-so-studly stripper "You know, the tie looks good."

O'Day Hails Self for Hailing Hitler

She's still not backing off her Hitler and Castro statements -- but now Aubrey O'Day is singing her own "brilliant" praises, calling herself, "a 25-year-old pop star liberal who had the courage to go on FOX News against three 60-year-old republicans and have an opinion."

And in a move more transparent than her Playboy spread outfits -- her dinner date last night was of Cuban descent.

Aubrey O'Day -- All the Reich Moves

It's the worst thing to come out of Aubrey O'Day's mouth since her last Danity Kane song -- 'cause last night on "The Sean Hannity Show," the "singer" praised both Fidel Castro and Adolf Hitler as "brilliant" men.

Yeah, she's an idiot, but more importantly -- what the hell was Aubrey O'Day doing on Hannity in the first place?!
