Leave it to TMZ to get former Lakers legend and the face of Dodgers ownership, Magic Johnson, and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban on the record in support of gay athletes. In the wake of Johnson giving interviews in support of his gay son, Earvin Johnson III, the celebrity gossip website asked pointed questions of the basketball great. "If that ever happened, I would support them 150 percent," Johnson said when asked what he'd do if a player on the Dodgers announced that he was gay. "First of all, as an owner, you really have to support the person, you really do, and then help educate the public," Johnson added.

I'm not sure of the singular form of paparazzi - papa...nazi? papa...ratzo? pizza...piehole? - but I have to confess a certain minor pleasure in turning the tables on one of them, known as they are for bursting into other people's lives and making them miserable. I'm talking about TMZ, the TV show and website, which gained prominence with the scoop aboutMichael Jackson'sdeath and hasn't shut up since. At the end of its new Hollywood bus tour, hosted by one of the scandal site's actual photographers, I asked him for a comment, at which point the ultra-cool 25-year-old turned sort of Jane Fonda-jittery as he got on his cellphone to the home office.

At 6:28 p.m. Friday, a note appeared on rapper Lil Wayne's Twitter account: "I'm good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love. " The tweet was meant to quash reports that the hip-hop mogul was gravely ill from an alleged prescription cough medicine overdose. That evening, a representative for the rapper would say only that Lil Wayne was at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in West Los Angeles, recovering from a seizure. On Monday, Wayne's label chief said the rapper had been admitted to the hospital March 12 for a seizure after a video shoot.

As conflicting reports on Lil Wayne's health continue to burn up the blogosphere, the rapper ostensibly took to Twitter on Friday evening to thank his fans and attempt to debunk any thoughts that his condition is grave. “I'm good everybody. Thx for the prayers and love,” the tweet read . But the quick line only fueled further speculation -- and confusion. Responding to reports from TMZ that the rapper was in a medically induced coma,  Mack Maine, president of Wayne's Young Money imprint, had tweeted that the superstar was "alive and well" and bashed TMZ for its reports -- which at one point said he was receiving last rites (an update that was later removed without explanation)

Harvey Levin, in his first remarks since a Times article revealed how sheriff's investigators obtained his phone records, said it was a violation of state and federal laws. He also called it an abuse of power by a department embarrassed by TMZ's scoop of Gibson's profane and abusive behavior when he was arrested in Malibu in 2006.

Is there a finale in sight for the seemingly never-ending Kim Kardashian-Kris Humphries divorce? A judge on Friday finally set a trial date for May 6. Team Kardashian had been pushing for next month, according to TMZ , but there was no room on the calendar until May. Kim's child with Kanye West is due in July. The divorce has been brewing since October 2011, when Kardashian filed to end her marriage to Brooklyn Nets player Humphries after only 72 days. It's been held up as Team Humphries makes the argument for an annulment, which would have to be granted on grounds of fraud - something the other side isn't about to admit.  PHOTOS: Kim Kardashian's relationships and flings In another wrinkle in the case, one of Humphries' lawyers took his toys and went home Thursday, citing an "irremediable breakdown of the attorney-client relationship" in papers filed with the court, TMZ said.
