Like a deranged lunatic -- a homophobic deranged lunatic -- '80s wrestling legend Iron Sheik stormed into LAX yesterday screaming all sorts of offensive obscenities in a delusional attempt to score a rematch with Hulk Hogan.
After the tirade, the threats and the spitting -- the 65-year-old got rolled up right in the airport ... in his wheelchair.

A security guard hired to protect Brad Pitt at an event last night wound up roughing him up instead.
When Pitt arrived to the L.A. premiere of his new film, the standard paparazzi crush ensued. For some reason a plain-clothes security guard grabbed Brad and pulled him back. Oh no he didn't! Pitt eventually broke away and reportedly exchanged words with the doomed security guard.
The first rule of fight club: Never touch Brad.
UPDATE: A source close to Brad's security tells TMZ the security team thought Brad was in danger, so they did what had to be done. Brad wasn't pissed at all at the aggressiveness of what went down -- quite the opposite, we're told.

As if those leather pants he was wearing weren't offensive enough, Mickey Rourke got downright homophobic outside Hyde last night when he used a gay slur to verbally attack someone on camera.
In an interview with Time Out New York back in '06, he was quoted as saying he's not afraid to use the word and if "somebody has a problem with that, they can kiss my f**kin' ass." Thanks, but no thanks.

Nelson Muntz from "The Simpsons" is used to being in trouble, but now he's under fire over a "super gay" comment he made on Sunday's Halloween episode ... ha HUH?
The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), the people who teamed up with Hilary Duff to fight the offensive use of the phrase "that's so gay," is now going after Nelson for his homophobic comment on the show.
In a statement to TMZ, GLSEN says: "Nelson's use of 'that's so gay' in a negative way is not surprising considering that 90 percent of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth say they hear the term used this way frequently or often at school. Nelson should visit ThinkB4YouSpeak.com where he can send an apologetic e-card to Milhouse. GLSEN would also welcome Nelson's participation in our next PSA so he can make amends by helping to educate young people about why such language is wrong."
A rep for the show was not immediately available for comment. Nelson's people couldn't be reached for comment either ... since he's a cartoon.

Either Bette Midler just gained all sorts of street cred ... or 50 Cent just kissed his goodbye.
We kid -- actually, the two hooked up for a good cause. Fiddy just forked over a ton of cash to build a garden in his home turf, Queens, NY -- after Miss M talked him into getting involved with her charity, the NY Restoration Project.
That's gangsta.

Miley Cyrus' 20-year-old boyfriend, Justin Gaston, has declared war on Miley's ex, Nick Jonas.
Gaston mocked the youngest Jonas Bros. by dressing up as the dandy 16-year-old evangelical Christian boy bander for Halloween.
Unfortunately, if Nick wanted to retaliate and go as the underwear model, no one would know who he was undressed as.

Mark McGwire isn't the only one who'd like to throw down with the Bash Brother behind the book "Juiced" -- an "American Gladiator" thinks Jose Canseco is a certified "idiot" too.
Former juicer and original Gladiator Nitro, real name Danny Lee Clark, has some major 'roid rage over Canseco's book -- and man was he pissed when we asked him about it outside Coco de Ville last night.

Nikki Blonsky (center) and her father Carl (along with mom Karen) put down their airport fight club gloves long enough to pose for friendly pics with Regis Philbin (far left) and his wife Joy (far right) in NYC on Wednesday.
In August, Carl spent nearly two weeks holed up in a Turks and Caicos jail after he and his tough "Hairspray" diva daughter got into a bitchfight with "America's Next Top Model" wannabeen Bianca Golden and her fam. They're all due back in court in December.
Until then, say cheese.

It looks like Sarah Palin may have trouble getting the rehabbed and rumored-to-be-gay vote come November.
LiLo ripped Palin apart last night in her blog, asking, "Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?" She then added the totally non-ironic comment, "Oh, and...Hint Hint Pali Pal- Don't pose for anymore tabloid covers, you're not a celebrity, you're running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!"
Lesson: Leave the gossip mags to the professionals.

...the American Cancer Society!?! WTF?!
The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a group with wayyy too much time on their hands, is now going after the American Cancer Society ... for trying to fight cancer -- in humans!
After the ACS went after Michael Jordan for smoking during a softball game earlier this week, the folks at PETA, who obviously couldn't stand to see another organization get attention, released a strongly worded letter of their own -- attacking the people dedicated to helping actual, living Homo sapiens.
Here's the statement: "The ACS needs to get its own act together before it calls a foul on Michael Jordan." See, PETA claims the folks at the ACS are hypocrites because they have fundraisers where they serve "cancer-linked" foods -- and by cancer-linked they mean dead animal, like beef.
Imagine how screwed the Muscular Dystrophy Association's gonna be when PETA finds out Jerry Lewis had a steak once.

Blow for blow, Elton John can still snort Lily Allen under the table -- and when a catftight broke out between the two of them at last night's GQ Men of the Year Awards in London, the Rocketman let her know it!
An obviously trashed Allen tried to spar with the master, cussing him out and taking shots at his age, but Elton shut her down slamming Lily for being a drunk and ripping the singer over her alleged penchant for nose candy.
The bitch is back!
