Alcohol

Popular business influencer Aline Cristina Dalmolin has tragically died after a horrific Porsche crash ... with the driver allegedly drunk and bolting from the scene.

The 41-year-old internet personality was riding as a passenger when the car slammed into a utility pole at high speed in the early hours of Monday morning in Balneário Camboriú, Brazil ... leaving her with catastrophic injuries -- including a severed arm and severe head injuries.

Aline didn’t make it to the hospital ... she suffered multiple cardiac arrests on the way and was pronounced dead en route.

The 57-year-old driver reportedly walked away without a scratch -- apparently drunk -- before taking off on foot. Cops say they later tracked him down hiding in a nearby mangrove area, where a police spokesperson noted he was showing "clear signs of intoxication, such as slurred speech, difficulty walking, the smell of alcohol, and disorientation."

After Andy Dick's drug overdose this week provoked panicked concern among friends, he's checked himself into rehab … Dick himself tells TMZ.

Andy tells TMZ he is currently entering a rehabilitation facility in the Palm Springs, California area.

Andy was very animated on the phone with us … he's cracking jokes and it's clear he's ready to commit to clean up … he tells us he's grateful to be getting help.

Andy tells us … "Jenny Gimenez is my sister who saved me with Tim” … Tim Ryan is Jen’s husband. They’re both sober.

Jennifer was on "Celebrity Rehab" with Andy. They’ve been friends for 20 years.

Andy Dick has gotten lucky if he mainly uses crack cocaine to get high, our law enforcement sources say ... because fentanyl isn't generally mixed in with the drug.

Two current federal Drug Enforcement Administration officials tell TMZ ... mixing fentanyl with crack's a fool's errand. The substance burns off with heat -- so putting it in the drug wouldn't produce the desired effect.

The chemical structure of fentanyl breaks down once someone lights up the rocks ... and it loses its potency. We're told the drug will still have some effect, but it simply won't be as strong -- and it certainly won't have a lethal effect on a person.

Jason Kelce ripped a page out of his future sister-in-law Taylor Swift's book and got in the studio ... and it was all for the sake of spreading some holiday beer cheer!!

TMZ Sports got an early listen of Garage Beer's special holiday project ... and it's hard to argue that he doesn't have some serious vocal talent. Perhaps a future in voiceover work is on the horizon??

Kelce -- a co-owner of the popular beer brand alongside his brother, Travis -- hopped on the mic to record a holiday story narration for a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl record ... which will be released this coming Friday on the Garage Beer website.

Only 100 copies exist ... so it'll be a rare item for Kelce fans.

Former San Diego Charger Quentin Jammer was more like Quentin Hammered during his career ... claiming he played in several games "completely s*** faced drunk."

The 46-year-old made the shocking confession Monday night ... going to X to say, "True story……. In 2011  I played completely s*** faced drunk in at least 8 games."

Jammer -- the No. 5 overall pick out of Texas in 2002 -- went on to say while the 2011 campaign was a bit fuzzy, he definitely remembers being lit for a contest against the Chicago Bears ... and some folks seemed convinced they could tell he wasn't himself when going back through footage.

10:16 AM PT -- A Royal Caribbean Group spokesperson tells TMZ … “We were saddened by the passing of one of our guests, worked with authorities on their investigation, and will refrain from commenting any further on pending litigation.”

The family of Michael Virgil -- the man who died on a Royal Caribbean Cruise last year after trying to beat down a door onboard -- are suing the company they believe is responsible ... in part, for giving him too much alcohol.

In court papers, obtained by TMZ ... Michael's fiancée, Connie Aguilar, is going after one of the world's largest cruise line companies for allegedly serving him "at least 33 alcoholic beverages" before his untimely death.

According to the lawsuit, when Michael and Connie boarded the ship with their 7-year-old son, they found out their room wasn't ready. The suit claims they were then directed to a bar area while they waited, but after a long period of time, their son -- who has autism -- grew impatient. To calm their young child, Connie took him to check on the cabin's status, leaving Michael at the bar.

12/8 11:10 AM PT -- Tara Reid tells TMZ ... "I’ve been honest about the fact that I don’t remember anything after my first drink. All I said was that I felt something was wrong and that I felt I may have been drugged, because I have no other explanation for why I woke up in a hospital gown with no memory of how I got there.

Seeing the media twist my words and attack me for not remembering has been incredibly painful and is severely affecting my mental health. I feel bullied and judged for something I cannot recall. I’m trying to heal, but the public scrutiny is making that very difficult, and I’ve been afraid to even leave my house.

No one ends up in the hospital for around eleven hours from drinking wine alone. I hadn’t taken any medication that day, and I know something wasn’t right. Whether I had additional drinks after that doesn’t matter, the fact is I don’t remember anything.

I’m asking for privacy, compassion, and space to heal. I’ve shared the only truth I have: what I remember, and what I felt."

Tara Reid was slugging wine at the hotel bar where she claims she was drugged ... and she looked pretty chummy with the man whom she pointed out in a police report.

TMZ obtained the surveillance video from the Chicago-area hotel where Tara claims someone slipped something in her drink that made her black out and wake up in a hospital bed ... and all you see in the video is Tara guzzling wine at the bar and talking to folks.

At first, she's sitting at the bar with a glass of wine, surrounded by four men. She's wearing a coat and beanie, and her purse is on the bar. It looks like two different bartenders bring over a glass of wine, and she slugs them both. Tara had said she only had one drink.

Khloé Kardashian’s the cool, level-headed fave of the fam -- just don’t pass her a drink, 'cause sister Kendall Jenner will tell you that "nice girl" act taps out real quick!

The reality star was chatting with her pal Savas Oguz on her "Khloé In Wonder Land" podcast when she admitted vodka flips a switch -- saying she gets aggressive on the stuff, and Kendall would know ... since she’s apparently beat her up a few times after one too many.

Savas backed her up, saying he’s witnessed the sister smackdowns himself -- and Khloé immediately cringed over it, saying there’s zero excuse for ever putting hands on Kendall ... since she's the nicest girl out there.

Sabrina Carpenter's "Short N' Sweet" tour might not have been as sweet as fans thought ... she just revealed something about the tequila shot she'd throw back on stage -- she wouldn't know if it was alcohol or water until she was downing it!

Check out the singer's hilarious farewell post to her tour, which just wrapped up in Los Angeles after a successful 14-month run. In the clip, Sabrina says goodbye to various parts of her stage, including the fireplace she'd routinely down a shot at -- and she revealed she had no idea what was in the glass each night.

Hey, she's gotta keep it interesting for more than just her fans!

Tara Reid was quick to accuse someone at a Chicago-area hotel bar of drugging her ... and that guy tells TMZ the allegation is total BS.

Sean P, the YouTube influencer Tara referenced in her police report, tells TMZ ... he met her at the hotel bar late last Saturday night ... and they got to talking and traded contact info, before she invited him to go outside to smoke a cigarette.

He says Tara was initially standoffish, taking a dig at him for being a YouTuber ... but when he shot back at her about the infamous TMZ video where she got denied entry at a Hollywood club back in 2006, her demeanor suddenly changed, and she got friendlier.

Sean P says Tara appeared "tipsy" -- he says he was too -- but they were both coherent enough to hold a conversation.

He says Tara asked him to go out for a smoke, and they did ... and when they went back to the bar, he tried to close out his tab ... when Tara handed him her purse and asked him to take out her room key. He says he looked inside the purse and saw pills. It was then Sean P says Tara screamed for security.

He says security arrived, asked if there was problem, and they both said "No."

Martha Stewart is back in the saddle with Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre is along for the hoo-ride ... as the gourmet guru is now the newest brand partner for their Still G.I.N. spirited beverage!!!

On Tuesday, Martha posted up with Dre and Snoop and introduced her signature cocktail "Water Melly" boosted by Still G.I.N. -- along with watermelon and lime juice, cucumber bitters, and cane syrup.

Big Martha will now promote Still G.I.N. alongside Dre and Snoop, picking up right where she and Snoop's "Potluck Dinner Party" TV series left off.

11/8 2:35 PM PT -- Diddy's family -- which runs his official X account -- has released the following statement unequivocally denying our story.

3:38 PM PT -- Diddy’s family spokesperson Juda Engelmayer tells TMZ ... "Mr. Combs is in his first week at FCI Fort Dix and is focused on adjusting, working on himself, and doing better each day. As with any high-profile individual in a new environment, there will be many rumors and exaggerated stories throughout his time there—most of them untrue. We ask that people give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth with grace and purpose."

Diddy's sobriety journey took a detour in lockup this week ... TMZ has learned he was drinking behind bars and got in some trouble with prison officials.

Sources with knowledge tell TMZ ... Diddy had some homemade alcohol in Fort Dix, the low-security prison where he's doing time. We're told the alcohol is made of Fanta, sugar and apples, which inmates give two weeks to ferment into an alcoholic substance.

We're told Diddy got caught by jail officials and prison officials planned to move him from his old unit into a new one. Two sources tell TMZ prison officials have now reversed their decision and Diddy will stay put.

Mary Bonnet's had lots of success over the course of her career as a real estate agent ... and one of her proudest achievements is being able to give up drinking.

The "Selling Sunset" star spoke to Gurus Magazine and said her decision to lay off the sauce was part of a spiritual overhaul on an apparent healing journey.

Mary said while she didn't really have a "problem" with alcohol, she started seeing it as an impediment to her health and as a source of anxiety, even though it used to help her relax.

Jessica Simpson is celebrating a powerful personal milestone ... marking 8 years of sobriety with an emotional message to fans about choosing faith over fear.

The singer took to Instagram on Saturday to reflect on the day she decided to stop drinking, writing that it was the moment she "confronted, confessed, and let go of the self sabotaging parts" of her life that were holding her back.

"Eight years ago today I made the choice to confront, to confess and to let go of the self sabotaging parts of my life that I was choosing," Jessica wrote. "Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of God’s purpose for my life."

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are super "Popular" movie stars ... but, they jumped into action to help out a normie after someone drenched her with a full glass of wine!

The two stars attended a "Wicked" press event Thursday ... and, while posing with a group of fans, someone standing in the back overturned their glass above a woman in a green dress standing in front of them.

Unclear if someone did this on purpose or if the glass just slipped out of their hand ... but, while Elphaba defies gravity all the time, the wine didn't ... and, the poor girl is soaked by wine, and the glass shatters on the ground right at Grande's feet.
