WWE Superstar ... I'm Gay

WWE superstar Darren Young just
dropped a bombshell, telling TMZ,
he's gay ... and no, this isn't part of
the act.Darren was at LAX Wednesday
when we asked whether a gay
wrestler could succeed in WWE, and
Darren laughed, saying, "Absolutely.
Look at me. I'm a WWE superstar and
to be honest with you, I'll tell you right
now, I'm gay. And I'm happy. I'm very
happy."For the record, Darren is now
the first openly gay wrestler ever at
WWE ... and the first headlining
wrestler ever to come out while still
signed to a major promotion. Other
pro wrestlers have been rumored to
be gay, but that's it ... just
rumors.Bottom line: this is big, big
news. For all its chauvinism and
testosterone-driven bravado, coming
out in WWE is tantamount to coming
out in the NFL.Of course, wrestling is
a little different, particularly because
of how physical it is, and how little
clothing is involved -- but Darren is
completely unfazed. Watch the video
to hear why.Current WWE Champ
John Cena is already weighing in on
Darren coming out. Check out his
reaction here.Young is also receiving
full support from the WWE ... which
says it's "proud of Darren Young for
being open about his sexuality."A rep
for the organization adds, "We will
continue to support him as a WWE
Superstar.  Today, in fact, Darren will
be participating in one of our Be A
Star anti-bullying rallies in Los Angeles
to teach children how to create
positive environments for everyone
regardless of age, race, religion or
sexual orientation."

Miguel ARRESTED FOR DUI

Miguel -- the guy behind the smash
hit "Adorn" and "#Beautiful" with
Mariah Carey -- was arrested for
driving drunk in L.A. early this
morning ... TMZ has learned. Law
enforcement sources tell us ...
California Highway Patrol officers
initially flagged the 27-year-old
singer's 2013 BMW X6 for speeding
and tinted windows next to an L.A.
freeway around 2:15 AM. During the
stop, officers noticed the smell of
booze ... and performed various field
sobriety tests, which he flunked.
Miguel -- full name Miguel Jontel
Pimentel -- also took a breathalyzer
and blew a .10 and .11 ... which is
over the .08 legal limit in CA.Miguel
was then arrested for DUI and hauled
to a nearby station where he was
booked ... and released a few hours
later on $5,000 bail. According to his
booking sheet, Miguel is 5'7" and 140
pounds. He's scheduled to appear in
court in September. So far, no word
from Miguel's camp.

Kim Kardashian -- The Big Reveal ... First Pics Since Birth

Kim Kardashian finally showed her
face in public after birthing baby
North West -- surfacing at an L.A.
medical facility Wednesday -- and
giving us a glimpse at her post
pregnancy bod ... sorta. These are the
FIRST photos of Kim and Kanye West
with their daughter since KK popped
back in June, and everyone looks
happy and healthy. Hell, even Yeezy
was smiling as they walked into the
doc's office ... with a nanny-assist,
naturally.No shot of North's face
though ... she was fully covered in a
car seat.Mama K was all top secret
too -- concealing her figure under a
baggy button-down with another shirt
tied around her waist and famous
cheeks ... for extra coverage.Hey, Kim
knows her body is a cash cow -- and
she ain't giving away the milk for free.

Chris Brown Hit-and-Run Case DISMISSED!

Chris Brown's hit-and-run case was
just dismissed, even though
prosecutors argued Chris deserved to
be punished and punished severely
for his alleged vehicular
misdeed.Chris and the victim struck a
civil compromise -- she didn't want
any money because the damage was
so minor and she wanted the case
dismissed.  But the L.A. City Attorney
objected, arguing to the judge this
morning that Brown was very
aggressive toward the victim after the
accident -- calling her a "bitch." The
City Attorney also argued that Brown
was on felony probation and
therefore his alleged misconduct of
leaving the scene without anteing up
a California driver's license was all the
more serious.The judge, however,
didn't buy the City Attorney's
argument and dismissed the case.
Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos tells
TMZ, "The case never should have
been filed in the first place.  It's
unfortunate he was being prosecuted
for who he is rather than what he's
done."Score one for CB.

Chris Brown Prosecutors IGNORE Hit-and-Run Victim's Wish To Drop Case

Chris Brown is in a weird legal
predicament in his hit-and-run case
this morning -- the victim doesn't
want him prosecuted, but we've
learned the L.A. City Attorney is going
full throttle to nail the singer.As TMZ
reported ... Chris was in a very minor
fender bender and left the scene
without providing the victim with a
California license and other
documentation.  The City Attorney
filed hit-and-run charges, but the
victim then told us she DIDN'T want
any money because the damage was
so minor and DIDN'T want Brown
prosecuted.The City Attorney still
pressed on because the victim hadn't
told prosecutors what she told TMZ.
But we've learned on Wednesday
prosecutors met with her lawyer, who
told them his client wanted the case
dropped and didn't want any money.
The case is in court at 10 AM PT and
we've learned the City Attorney will
still object to a dismissal -- in other
words, they want to prosecute Brown
for hit-and-run.  The judge could
ignore the City Attorney and dismiss
the case.One final, weird thing.
During the last hearing in the case,
we've learned a honcho from the L.A.
County D.A.'s Office sat in the peanut
gallery. We're told the D.A. is
interested in the case because if Chris
is prosecuted it could trigger a
probation violation in the Rihanna
case.
