Sure, times are tough -- but can't the Mouse House spring for a few bodyguards for two of it's biggest stars!?
Not only are Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens in one of the fall's biggest flicks, but the dude was accosted by a creepy old man barely 24 hours ago -- so why the non-existent security at LAX?

Baseball's most famous 'roid monger, Jose Canseco, spent more than 9 hours in federal custody yesterday after U.S. border agents caught him allegedly smuggling HCG -- a hormone commonly used to reverse the shrinking effects of jock juice.
According to Canseco's attorney, Jose was on his way back from Mexico, when he was stopped at a San Diego checkpoint and randomly searched. Canseco's lawyer claims feds uncovered a "small amount" of a hormone called HCG. FYI -- the hormone can be legally acquired in the U.S. with a proper prescription.
After Canseco and an unidentified passenger spent more than 9 hours in custody, the 44-year-old gave permission for agents to search his Los Angeles home. We're told the sweep turned up nothing.
Canseco is due in federal court in on Tuesday to face a smuggling violation.
Story developing...

Our photog waited two hours outside Madeo so he could hit Clint Eastwood's son with questions about allegedly flirting with Hayden Panettiere's mom before her hubby went ballistic. One problem -- it was the wrong son.

A radio station in Minneapolis is cleaning up the mess left by an idiotic pair of DJs who theorized on-air that Earvin "Magic" Johnson has been faking being HIV positive. Bad taste, line one!
KTLK has released a statement to TMZ saying, "KTLK recognizes the seriousness of the health issues presented by HIV / AIDS -- and the great work that Magic Johnson has done ... We regret that some off-hand remarks by commentators on KTLK did not reflect that. To better inform our listeners and employees, KTLK will be airing HIV/AIDS awareness public service announcements, and will be reaching out to Mr. Johnson to get his thoughts on education efforts."
This once again proves that AIDS is no laughing matter ... unless it's on "Family Guy."

Helio Castroneves is going halfway around the world while he awaits trial on tax evasion charges. Good idea?
A Federal judge is letting H go to Australia for a race on October 26. The same judge allowed him to race last Saturday in Atlanta, just a day after his indictment hearing. Not too shabby, all this travel.
Amusingly enough, the judge said if he tries to go on the lam, Helio would be "dancing with the U.S. marshals." Ah, jurist humor.

Hugh Hefner's new twin GFs don't just beat the living crap out of other people -- they also kick the s**t out of each other.
We've learned Karissa Shannon was arrested just two months before she and sis Kristina were pinched for aggravated battery back in January. In this case, however, she was popped for kicking her own twin sister in the face. Lovely.
Here's the blow-by-blow, according to the charge report: When cops showed up, Kristina was lying on the ground outside their apartment "wearing only blue jean pants" and "bleeding from her nose," while Karissa was standing over Kristina asking who had done this, "as if she had no idea what had happened."
Best part: a neighbor said he witnessed the one twin kicking the other twin in the face, though "he could not identify which sister was which." Karissa eventually fessed up.

Tonight on TMZ TV -- Hugh Hefner's new twins are used to being in the big house... Nature Boy wants to bring a little flair to "Dancing with the Stars"... and Paris Hilton's not letting Benji's ex fiancee get back into the picture.
Check your local listings.
Word on the street is that Paris Hilton hates Sophie Monk's guts -- and last night in Hollywood our photog let Benji Madden's ex-fiance know it over and over and over again.
Oh yeah ... and for people who don't care about catty feuds, she also wore a see-thru top.

Does something smell like rotting fish to you?
Just one year before they found their 82-year-old meal ticket and moved into the Playboy Mansion, 19-year-old twins Karissa and Kristina Shannon, were attached to a colder, deader creature -- this prize winning red snapper! The Shannons were obligated to pose with a winner of a spear fishing tournament in Florida back when they were working at a Wing House restaurant (think Hooters with better wings).
FYI -- Hef's not into red snapper ... he's all about the yellowtail.
UPDATE: Thanks to TMZ's loyal following of fishermen fans, we've learned the fish in question is not a Red Snapper, but rather a Hogfish. Our sincerest apologies.
ONE MORE THING: The comment about the wings was based on the opinion of the one guy in our newsroom who has actually been to Wing House. Our sincerest apologies to Hooters fans.

So ... was Michael Jordan kidding when he told a cabbie to run over the paparazzi? 
His Airmess was in South Beach yesterday -- probably joking around -- but as anyone who has any appreciation for sports knows ... when Jordan tells you to do something, you do it. Fortunately for the snappers, the cabbies disobeyed.
