Alcohol

Donna Motsinger's lawsuit against Bill Cosby is taking yet another dramatic turn ... Cosby wants to use evidence her son, Jeff, is an alcoholic with childhood trauma to undermine his testimony ... but Donna's lawyers say he can't do that!

In court papers, obtained by TMZ, Donna says that because Cosby has no expert to say that Jeff's "alcoholism or childhood trauma" is in any way related to Jeff's memory, any evidence of a drinking problem or history of trauma can't be used in the case to discredit his testimony.

As we reported ... Donna claims Cosby drugged and raped her in 1972 ... and pointed to Cosby admitting during a deposition that he obtained recreational prescriptions for Quaaludes that he secured from a gynecologist at a poker game.

Britney Spears' inner circle is rallying behind her after her late-night traffic stop ... and TMZ has learned they're hoping a judge chooses treatment over jail time.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... people close to Britney want the judge to order her into a program rather than sentence her to any time behind bars after her Wednesday night DUI arrest. We're told those close to her believe this could be a pivotal moment ... one where the focus shifts to getting her help and support -- instead of punishment.

We broke the story ... Britney was pulled over by California Highway Patrol officers around 9:30 PM Wednesday in Westlake Village, CA, not far from her home. We're told she was alone in the car when officers initiated the stop.

Britney Spears was allegedly swerving from lane to lane prior to her DUI arrest ... this according to police dispatch audio.

According to the audio, a 2026 black convertible was driving in and out of lanes and speeding ... and an officer can be heard asking for the dispatcher to "send all units down towards this area please."

An officer later says they are speaking with the car's driver, who has stepped out of the vehicle.

Britney Spears is showing more signs of turmoil following her DUI arrest ... because her Instagram account has suddenly been deactivated.

Search for Britney’s page now and you’ll be met with the generic message, "Sorry, this page isn't available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed."

It’s unclear if Britney pulled the plug herself or if the account was taken down for another reason.

The disappearance is a big deal -- Britney’s IG has long been her main outlet, especially in recent years as she’s posted her signature solo dance videos from inside her L.A.-area home.

Kylie Jenner might be staging an intervention for her brand Sprinter ... because it seems she's trading vodka seltzers for nutritional shakes in the company's portfolio.

Here's the deal ... after fans began to speculate Jenner was breaking up with the brand -- which launched almost exactly 2 years ago -- the mogul came out and posted the brand's logo onto her Instagram story, writing, "We've been working honey." The company then scrubbed their social media.

Kylie doubled down on the mystery by dropping a video of her hand pouring a powdered substance into a water bottle and tagging Sprinter's account.

While Kylie hasn't officially said what she's doing with the brand ... we did some snooping and found the company has filed for a ton of trademarks in the last few weeks.

Former One Direction member Niall Horan gave fans something to toast about for Valentine's Day last month during a trip to New York City ... and fans have been speculating this could be connected to potential new music!

Sources tell us the singer was in New York City doing promo when he cooked up a sweet surprise for couples celebrating the romantic holiday. We’re told Niall partnered with Brooklyn hotspot Dinner Party to treat unsuspecting lovebirds to complimentary bottles of wine.

We're told the vibe was intimate and low-key -- not some over-the-top stunt -- just a lighthearted way for Niall to share the moment and connect with fans IRL.

Shia LaBeouf is reflecting on his Mardi Gras morning arrest ... saying he doesn't have a drinking problem, but rather a Napoleon complex -- oh, and he's scared of gay people touching him.

The troubled actor said all this and more in a lengthy interview for "Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan" published on YouTube Saturday. You can see it all in the clip -- he reflects on his Feb. 17 arrest and theorizes his outburst has more to do with his anger and ego than his use of alcohol.

Shia also looks back on what led up to him getting physical with a group of people before his arrest ... explaining "big gay people" are scary to him ... and he was frightened when they allegedly began touching his leg.

Eminem's ex-wife, Kim Scott, was arrested for DUI in Michigan last week ... and now we have bodycam footage of her bizarre interaction with the cops.

Jennifer Garner is flaunting her assets in a new magazine spread for Flaunt ... while also getting real about her relationship with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck.

For the shoot, Jennifer wore several other outfits, including Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello -- a gray pantsuit and a large brown leather jacket over a white knotted shirt with brown pants. 

In the interview, Jennifer talked generally about her long relationship that eventually went sour with Ben -- something she doesn't normally do. The two got married in 2005, but later divorced in 2018.

Eminem’s ex-wife, Kim Scott, told cops she drank two margaritas at Chili's prior to her DUI arrest ... this according to the police report from the incident.

Per the report, obtained by TMZ, officers in Michigan responded to the scene after a neighbor called about a white Range Rover crashing into their car – and then fleeing the scene this week.

The neighbor told the cop the Range Rover was parked at a home nearby. The officer went over to the home and says Kim answered the door. According to the report, she admitted the Range Rover was hers and that she had used it recently.

“I know what this is about,” Kim told the officer. Cops say she admitted to hitting the truck that was parked on the side of the road but said “another car” had caused her to collide with the car.

She told the police she planned to go back to the scene later. When asked if she had any drinks that night, cops say Kim told them she had two margaritas at Chili’s.

Shia LaBeouf might not be considering the priesthood ... but he does have some interesting ideas on how to bring people back to church ... one that would make Sir Mix-a-Lot proud!

We've obtained exclusive video of the actor chatting with a group of people on February 7 ... 10 days before getting into a brawl in New Orleans, which landed him behind bars yesterday.

In the clip, the group appears to be chatting about religion ... with Shia admitting to being a Catholic -- which he says makes him a "full-blown weirdo."

He then loudly asks the group if they go to church ... and, when it's clear they don't, he yells they would if there was "a bunch of ass" and "ass getting flopped around."
