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?

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.

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.

Our photog was seriously man-crushing on Ryan Gosling yesterday -- and things may have worked out a little better if he didn't royally screw up the name of one of Ryan's recent flicks, "Half Nelson."

McDonald's just sent us this statement regarding the Michael Vick Happy Meal boxes:
"We apologize for any confusion caused by the inadvertent distribution of a Happy Meal box that is four years old. As your web site pointed out, this Happy Meal box is from 2004, so it does not reflect any current partnership with Michael Vick. We take the messages we share with our younger customers seriously, and have since corrected this isolated incident."

Everyone was there to see the NKOTB -- but Lance Bass stole their thunder at last night's concert at the Staples Center in L.A.
A few TMZ staffers actually admitted to going to the show and shot this "Where's Waldo"-like footage of Lance getting swarmed in the crowd.

Forget the Hamburglar! McDonald's is promoting its products using an actual convicted felon -- Michael Vick.
A TMZ employee went into a McD's in Hollywood yesterday and ordered a Happy Meal (don't ask). The box she received (pictured above) advertises six different electronic sports games, each of them named after a famous athlete. But Michael Vick is the only one of those athletes who is currently in federal prison.
The advertising was part of a cross-promotion with ESPN from 2004 -- back when Vick was just an overrated football player, instead of a dog murderer. Considering the Happy Meal is specifically targeted to young kids, you'd think Mickey D's would be more diligent about removing the name of a convicted dogfighter off the packaging.
We've contacted McDonald's for comment and they say they're getting back to us. This should be good.
UPDATE: We asked PETA what they thought about the whole thing. PETA's vice president, Bruce Friedrich, told us, "Given that McDonald's lets its suppliers cram animals into metal cages and crates and boil chickens alive, it's sad, but doesn't shock us, and at this point, even Michael Vick himself would probably rather that this particular Happy Meal would be a happy memory."

TMZ got its mitts on the entire script for Hustler's upcoming porn parody: "Who's Nailin' Paylin?" 
Uber-MILF Lisa Ann will be steaming it up with a certain snowmobile salesman and a bipartisan pundit named "Hilly" who's, well, just plain bi.
The film shoots this weekend, just in time for the election. Does it promise to deliver the goods? You betcha!

Most people try to hide when they're getting plastic surgery -- Shauna Sand is not most people.
Instead of sneaking out the back, the Lucite Goddess left Dr. Frank Ryan's office in Bev Hills out the front door -- even showing off an ice pack on her face with the dude's name on it!
She was there for a consultation, and although he only usually does her skin care and "injectables," his next special project is her drooping rack. With all that work, Shauna's lucky she gets a "friends and family discount" from the doc.

It can't be a coincidence Rob Lowe and his wife went out to dinner at the most paparazzi packed place in town last night -- the same day David Crosby publicly came to their defense in Nannygate '08.
Just don't count on them talkin' about it.
