Justin Bieber Accidentally Gives Away Award

(TMZ) Justin Bieber loves his screaming teenage fans so much, he will literally hand them an extremely limited edition award he just won -- without even realizing it -- at least that's what happened this weekend.

Bieber was in Toronto Sunday for the MuchMusic Video Awards -- and when he left the stage after accepting his trophy for UR Fave Artist ... he was accosted by several fans in the front row.

Bieber pump-faked with the award -- but a girl latched on to it, so Bieber handed it over ... obviously thinking she was an extremely young, extremely loud award show official.

But she wasn't -- and the random girl was later approached by a REAL award official, demanding she return the trophy ... which she did.

But Justin feels bad for getting the girl's hopes up -- his rep tells TMZ, Justin wants to track the fan down and get her a replica of the award. So far, the girl hasn't come forward. more on this story

Priscilla was leaving Pantages Theater Wed night in Hollywood when she stopped to sign autographs for a large group of fans -- but one autograph seeker started arguing with Priscilla's bodyguards ... over the positioning of his photo. Seriously.

The guy actually threatened the bodyguards, saying ... "You damage my property, I'm gonna damage something of yours." A few seconds later the autograph seeker learned the true meaning of damage ... as fists start flying!

The bodyguard makes quick work of the dude -- who was already wearing a leg brace -- taking him down to the ground ... and staying on top of him while the autograph seeker threatens to sue.

Gotta say ... the autograph seeker was pretty mouthy, especially considering he was in a leg brace AND much smaller than the beefy bodyguards. But check the video ... for the takedown and Priscilla's reaction here.

Octomom Pitching High Interest OctoLoans

(TMZ) What could go wrong??? Octomom -- the most financially irresponsible person on the planet -- is now hawking a solution to all YOUR money problems ... in the form of dangerously high-interest cash loans.

Sources tell TMZ, Octo recently signed a 5-figure deal to endorse a service called OctoLoan, which connects users to cash lenders -- offering financially desperate people access to as much as $1,000 instantly.

Problem is -- the loans are short-term ... and extremely high-interest ... often exceeding 600% APR ... which means they're usually NOT a good idea for people in dire straits (the target demo).

Octo just shot a commercial for the company this week -- the behind-the-scenes footage is pretty hilarious. Watch it here.
