Arnold's Baby Mama -- My Family Is Selling Me Out!

Posted: 31 May 2011 01:00 AM PDT

Filed under: Mildred Patricia Baena, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver, Schwarzenegger Scandal

Arnold Schwarzenegger's baby mama is fuming mad AT HER OWN FAMILY for selling pictures and stories about her to the tabloids ... this according to a direct family member. 

0530_mildred_baena_ex
A relative of Mildred Patty Baena -- who has not made a cent off her and REFUSES to sell out -- tells TMZ ... Mildred is shocked and didn't expect her own family to make a cheap buck off this whole ordeal.

In addition to the money, we're told Mildred feels these family members are just telling flat-out lies. The relative we spoke to says Mildred is sure the main culprit is the ex-wife of a family member.

If you can't count on an ex-in-law to keep secrets about your illegitimate love child with the former Governor of California ... who can you count on?

Gloria Allred -- Case of the Sexy Casino Uniforms

Posted: 31 May 2011 12:30 AM PDT

Filed under: Gloria Allred, Celebrity Justice

Gloria Allred is going to war against an Atlantic City casino on behalf on nine cocktail servers who claim they were fired to make room for younger women to wear new "sexy flapper" uniforms -- and Gloria's even sporting the look herself to make a point.

0530_gloria_allred_ex

TMZ has learned Allred will be in A.C. Tuesday to announce the lawsuit against Resorts Casino -- which, according to the nine women, required them to model the new, sexier costume.

The women claim they were willing to wear the uniform, but the casino dumped them ... and replaced them with younger women who were allegedly "more able to attract young male customers." Now, they're suing for unlawful sex, age, and race discrimination.  

Gloria will hold a news conference at noon in front of the casino, and TMZ will be there live.

For the record, Gloria issued the above image especially for this case (it's photoshopped BTW ... sorry fellas) -- but who knows what she or her clients will be wearing at the news conference.

The other passenger, a 23-year-old female, was listed as being "uninjured."

Kingston is still in critical condition, but has been stabilized.

Cheryl Cole OUT As British 'X-Factor' Judge Too

Posted: 30 May 2011 05:00 PM PDT

Filed under: Cheryl Cole, X Factor

Cheryl Cole was a judge on two different versions of "The X-Factor." What a difference a week makes!

0530_cheryl_cole_bn_getty
The judges for this season of the popular British show were announced today and Cole's name was off the list. This year's judges panel is made up of music mogul Louis Walsh, Take That's Gary Barlow, Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child and Tulisa Contostavlos of N-Dubz.

As TMZ first reported, Cole was supposed to be on the U.S. version of the show, but was given the boot because producers thought her accent was too thick for American audiences.

Guess the Brit's don't have any issue with Rowland's thick accent.

Sean Kingston's Savior -- He Was Puking Blood

Posted: 30 May 2011 01:05 PM PDT

Filed under: Sean Kingston

The guy who heroically jumped into the water to save Sean Kingston says the singer was spitting up blood after his jet ski accident last night -- but that Sean was responsive and even spoke during the rescue. 

0529_sean_kingston_ex_getty_2
Jonathan Rivera, a member of the Coast Guard, says he was driving his boat around Star Island on his day off ... when he was called over to the accident scene by a man and a woman on a jet ski. Rivera says he noticed an empty jet ski, a woman in the water floating (she was wearing a vest and complaining her head hurt) and Kingston.

Rivera says the two people on the jet ski were trying to hold Kingston up, but they were struggling to keep his head above water. Rivera says Kingston's size was a problem for them, as his life vest had come off.

So Rivera says he jumped in the water and noticed Kingston was "puking up blood out of his mouth."

0530_sean_kingston_subasset_hero
Rivera says he wrapped his arms around Kingston and held on to the jet ski to help keep Kingston's head above water. Rivera said Kingston was "convulsing and throwing up blood all over me" -- but said he didn't notice any head trauma. 

Rivera tells us he held onto Kingston for about 15 minutes, until a police boat finally arrived. Rivera says he doesn't think he could have held on much longer than he did. 

Rivera says when helped arrived, he told Sean he was going to be okay. He says Kingston repeated back to him, "I'm going to be okay." 

When it came time to get Kingston into the boat, Rivera says Kingston was able to follow directions, though he did need some assistance getting in. 

From there, paramedics quickly came and cleaned Kingston up and rushed him to an ambulance that was waiting nearby. 

Rivera, who says he didn't recognize Kingston until well into the rescue, tells us, “I mean regardless of whether I was in the Coast Guard, I would have still jumped off to help him. He needed help."

Jimmy Vega, who was with Rivera at the time and assisted in rescuing Kingston, talked to a local reporter (see below) and explained, "We were about to turn back around [and go home] when we noticed him. I truly believe if we did turn around, he would not be with us today."

Snooki in Custody After Cop Car Crash

Posted: 30 May 2011 11:48 AM PDT

Filed under: Snooki, Jersey Shore, Celebrity Justice

Snooki was taken into custody in Florence, Italy on Monday after crashing into a police car ... TMZ has learned. 

0530_snooki_launch_EX_TMZ_01
Snooki was driving when she struck the cop car, but sources connected with the production tell TMZ, "Zero alcohol was involved."

We're told no one was injured.

A witness tells TMZ, Snooki smacked her into the back of the patrol car, wedging her ride between the car and a highway protection wall. The witness says Deena was in the passenger seat at the time of the crash -- and when she tried to exit the car, she had to go through the window ... because the door was blocked by the wall. 

A source connected to the production tells TMZ, although Snooki is in custody ... it is not a formal arrest.
