A hair care launch party where Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert were supposedly performing next month has just been canceled ... not surprising since reps for both artists told TMZ it was all a sham.
The concert was being promoted by a guy in Martinsburg, West Virginia ... who told TMZ earlier in the week that tickets for the private event were going for $100 - $200 ... an event Lambert's agent told us was "not legit" and Gaga's manager said was "completely false."
President Barack Obama is now the poster child for an upcoming pot party celebrating his first year in office. Only problem: No one asked his high-ness for permission before Photoshopping a fake joint in his mouth.
The ganja gala is set to go down this weekend in L.A. -- and according to the ad, marijuana patients are going to "celebrate Obama ending DEA raids" on weed stores.
A rep for the White House told TMZ there's a longstanding policy "disapproving of the use of the President's name and likeness for commercial purposes" -- but the rep wouldn't say if the Photoshoppin' potheads were going to face legal action over the ad.
Either way ... we're guessing the wave of paranoia that's about to engulf the tokers responsible for messing with the Most Powerful Man on the Planet will be punishment enough.
John Mayer is at the center of a racial controversy -- and it's all because he compared his penis to a white supremacist.
It's all over an interview Mayer just gave to Playboy Magazine -- in which he was asked, "Do black women throw themselves at you?"
Mayer's response: "I don't think I open myself to it. My d*ck is sort of like a white supremacist. I've got a Benetton heart and a f*ckin' David Duke c*ck. I'm going to start dating separately from my d*ck."
Mayer goes on to name some African-American women he's attracted to, but we gotta ask ...
While propped up in L.A. on Monday, robotic "Hills" star Heidi Montag showed off the aftermath of willingly undergoing ten horrifying plastic surgery procedures in one day.

Placating a crowd of black people with a bucket of chicken is considered good marketing by Kentucky Fried Chicken in Australia -- but it's causing a bit of a fervor here in the States.
The ad shows a very distressed white guy, surrounded by a crowd of black people at a cricket match, who wonders, "Need a tip when you're stuck in an awkward situation?" He gets out of the "awkward situation" by handing them a bucket of chicken.
A rep for KFC Australia told a local paper, "It is a light-hearted reference to the West Indian cricket team ... The ad was reproduced online in the US without KFC's permission, where we are told a culturally-based stereotype exists, leading to the incorrect assertion of racism."
UPDATE -- We just got this statement: "KFC Australia is removing the television advertisement that was being run in conjunction with the Australian cricket season. We apologize for any misinterpretation of the ad as it was not meant to offend anyone."
TMZ has obtained photographs of Katt in Hollywood early yesterday morning -- which show the comedian with what looks like a handgun holstered in the back of his pants.

Looking like she was up all night baking, Nicole Kidman'sface showed up at the "Nine" premiere in NYC last night covered with a heavy dusting of white makeup.

No complaints, no foul -- that's what Toby Keith's peeps are saying about his eye-stretching performance at a Nobel Peace Prize after party earlier this week.
The insensitive gesture occurred during Will Smith's rendition of "Rapper's Delight," when Toby slanted his eyes as Will rapped the word "yellow" -- but according to Toby's rep, "No one at the concert thought Toby was out of line."
Toby's rep also said, "Everyone was impressed with his rapping skills and that's it ... all of the artists liked each other, hung out, and it was a very friendly, genuine, and supportive atmosphere."
We're guessing the woman who sued Miley Cyrus for $4 billion over the same gesture would disagree.
In what can only be described as a devastating blow to the music industry -- TMZ has learned Spencer Pratt is now the proud owner of his very own music company.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, the day the music died was November 18, 2009 ... when Pratt was declared the humble owner of "King Spencer Music."
It didn't take long before someone used the Tiger Woods crash to cash in -- betcha didn't think it would be an AIRLINE COMPANY!?!?!?
Spirit Airlines -- a discount carrier based out of Florida -- is running an ad on their website featuring an animated tiger (the animal) crashing an SUV into a fire hydrant -- sound familiar?
After the animation, a graphic pops up promoting their "Eye of the Tiger Sale" -- with fares starting at $9.
Sure, sounds like a good deal -- if you like your airline using a CRASH to promote itself!
