CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

Jon Jones' first night behind bars in Albuquerque was a quiet one ... with officials telling TMZ Sports the UFC star was a "model inmate."

Jones turned himself in to authorities Tuesday morning after a warrant was issued for his arrest for violating his probation. As we previously reported, Jon was on probation from his 2015 hit and run conviction and officials believe his drag racing incident with cops last week may qualify as a violation.

We're told Jones is in a segregated cell at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Bernalillo County away from the general population because of his celebrity status. One official told us, "It's for his own protection."

A jail source tells TMZ Sports, "From the moment he walked into the jail, everyone knew he was there. It got around fast. Everyone knows who he is because he was just here a few months ago to speak as part of his community service."

As far as Jon's diet behind bars ... "he's on a standard 2,800 calorie plan."

Red Bull energy drink got one guy so hyped up on caffeine it destroyed his heart, and his family says the company knew about the medical risk ... but did nothing to warn consumers.

Ann Lemley is suing the energy drink giant over her 44-year-old son William's 2014 death. In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, she says William died after ingesting "toxic amounts of caffeine and other chemicals" in Red Bull.

Lemley points out in the suit ... multiple studies have been done about the negative health consequences of the popular beverage. She claims Red Bull fails to alert its customers to risks associated with the drink ... including hypertension and cardiovascular conditions.

Her son ultimately died of a string of heart ailments.

Lemley's suing for more than $35 million in damages. We've reached out to Red Bull, but have not heard back.

7:30 A.M. PST -- A rep for the company tells TMZ, "Over 60 billion cans of Red Bull Energy Drink have been consumed since it first went on sale in 1987 and it is available in over 165 countries because health authorities around the world have concluded that it is safe to consume.

The European Food Safety Authority has recently again confirmed the safety of energy drinks. So, there is no justification to treat energy drinks differently than coffee, tea or other caffeine containing soft drinks. One 250 ml (8.4 fl oz) can of Red Bull Energy Drink contains about the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee (80 mg)."

The woman claiming to be Chris Brown's ex-girlfriend didn't get the restraining order she requested after failing to produce any evidence she'd ever dated the singer.

Danielle Patti got her day in court to back up her bizarre claims -- that she and CB hooked up last December and when they broke up, he started harassing and threatening her via text and social media.

She'd already been granted a temporary restraining order, but on Tuesday in a L.A. court a judge asked Patti to hand over proof of any threatening messages from Brown. She told the judge she'd erased them because they scare her and she "didn't want the memories."

She also admitted she didn't have Chris' phone number or email address after being grilled by Chris' lawyers, Ben Meiseles and Setara Qassim.

The judge quickly tossed the case.

Blake Shelton could be hoisted by his own liquor-drenched petard -- the magazine he's suing says Blake talks himself up as a heavy drinker, so he's got no place to bitch about its stories.

As we've reported, Blake is suing the publisher of In Touch for its cover story claiming he was rehab bound after hitting "Rock Bottom." Blake's filed docs denying most of the report, but in new legal docs ... In Touch says Blake must have forgotten the image he himself promoted.

The mag says Blake is famous for his "signature drunk tweets" such as, "Woah!! Almost 11:00 ... Can't believe I'm up so early ... This calls for a drink." In Touch says his tweets and comments cultivate his image as a "hard drinking country boy."

One part of the In Touch story says he partied hard last year in a Mexico hotel. Blake has denied staying at that hotel, but in the new docs ... In Touch says it has photo evidence.

Sources connected to Blake tell us the photo in question -- which was posted on Instagram -- shows him obliging a fan with a pic as he walked by the hotel.

A radio DJ is suing William Shatner for $170 million, claiming the actor is his father and has been denying it for years.

Peter Sloan, 59, says Shatner admitted he was his dad back in 1984 on the set of "T.J. Hooker." Sloan tells TMZ he believes his biological mother and Shatner had a fling while they were both acting on Broadway.

In his suit, Sloan says Shatner did a complete 180 later ... hanging up on him when he called the actor. He claims a rep contacted him to say Shatner denied paternity and refused to take a DNA test.

Sloan says the rep also advised him to keep the matter quiet since it could be "horrendous" for Shatner's career. Instead, he changed his name to Peter Shatner and began using it for his radio show, website and several other social media handles.

Sloan says he requested another paternity test in 2011 but got denied because, as Shatner's lawyers put it ... he's "an incredibly busy, 80-year-old man, and is not interested in spending time discussing this issue with you."

Elton John is firing back at the former employee who's accusing him of groping and sexual harassment ... calling the guy disgruntled and litigious.

Elton's attorney says Jeffrey Wenninger is just looking for an easy payday with his lawsuit. TMZ broke the story ... Wenninger's suit accuses Elton of grabbing his genitals multiple times while on the job.

The singer's team says, "These claims are patently untrue and contradicted by numerous previous statements made by this plaintiff. We will not give into his latest abuse of the legal system."

A Gipsy Kings fan says he broke his jaw at one of their concerts, but believes it could all have been prevented if security at the show had done its job.

Anthony Fornabaio and his wife are suing the historic Beacon Theatre in NYC claiming he face-planted at the December 3rd Gipsy Kings concert there.

Fornabaio's attorney tells us Anthony fainted during the show, and his wife called to event staffers for help. The attorney claims staffers offered no assistance, and watched as Fornabaio fell again ... this time on his face, breaking his jaw.

Fornabaio says his injuries could've been prevented if staffers took notice of his bamboleo ... Spanish for "swaying." A rep for the Beacon Theatre says they're looking into the incident.

'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Apollo Nida can't get the feds off his back -- due to a more than $1 million tab -- and now they're targeting another one of his prized possessions.

Court docs show the government wants him to put his 1964 Buick Skylark on the auction block to help pay down the nearly $1.94 million in restitution he owes.

Nida -- who is in the can serving 8 years for money laundering and bank fraud -- already got his 2014 Ducati and Yamaha Raptor ATV seized.

A '64 Skylark in mint condition fetches $25k ... which is barely a dent in that debt.

Lil Wayne's suing Universal Music Group because he says the company is settling debts with Birdman and Cash Money Records ... with money owed to him.

Weezy filed the federal lawsuit against UMG over its financial arrangement with Cash Money. According to the suit, UMG advanced Birdman's label $100 million, and has slowly been paying itself back.

Wayne's issue is half that money going back to Universal is his, under the terms of his deal with Cash Money. Wayne says the bulk of the revenue was earned by his Young Money artists -- Drake, Nicki Minaj and Tyga -- so he deserves a healthy cut.

Sir Elton John forced himself on a former security guard, grabbing the man's genitals on multiple occasions ... at least that's the claim in a lawsuit just filed against Elton.

Jeffrey Wenninger says 3 alleged incidents went down in 2014. In the suit, Wenninger says he and Elton were in a car together when Elton put his hands in Wenninger's pants. He says Elton attempted to grab his genitals and put his fingers between Wenninger's butt cheeks.

According to the suit, Elton then told him to "Get your todger out" and "say hello to Uncle Elton."

Wenninger says he attempted to verbally and physically resist, but it never deterred the singer.

Wenninger says another time, also in a car, Elton twisted his nipples and said ... "You gorgeous thing, you." Wenninger says there were several other incidents during his employment. He says he stopped working with Elton in September 2014.

He's suing for sexual harassment and battery. We've reached out to Elton's reps, but no response yet.

Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson just got tagged for an accident their son, Chet Haze, had while driving mom and dad's car.

According to a new lawsuit filed against the celebs ... Chet rear-ended a guy named Terry Moogan in February 2015, while driving Tom and Rita's Chevy. Moogan accuses Chet of driving recklessly and being "under the influence of drugs and or alcohol at the time."

Moogan says Chet's parents should be responsible since they negligently handed him the keys.

As for the drugs and alcohol allegation ... Chet didn't get a DUI for this accident, in fact cops weren't even on scene. Moogan's attorneys claim Chet begged him not to call the police at the time.

In the suit, Moogan says he suffered injuries ... though he's not specific. His attorneys claim Moogan got whiplash and a brain injury from hitting his head on the dashboard.

2:50 PM PT -- We've confirmed Luke Wash is in custody. He was booked Monday afternoon and held on a $1,300 bond.

Katt Williams and the 17-year-old kid he fought are both wanted by cops now ... TMZ has learned.

Police in Gainesville, GA tell us Katt and the kid, Luke Wash, have been charged with disorderly conduct. We're told a Hall County judge issued arrest warrants after the charges were filed.

Cops say the fight, which included foul language being used in front of minors -- is a violation of his conditional bond from his arrest for allegedly assaulting one of his bodyguards. Police have contacted Katt's lawyer to discuss him turning himself in, but if he doesn't, we're told cops are ready to go find him.

We're told Wash was charged because in Georgia, 17-year-old offenders are considered adults.

2:07 PM PT -- Jones just issued a statement saying, "I was not drag racing nor was I speeding. I did not get a speeding ticket. I was driving within the speed limit of the 35mph zone."

"I feel that police used a technicality to ticket me for drag racing, for simply revving my engine and acknowledging some of my local fans. I regrettably said words to the police officer out of frustration, for which I apologize for, but I do feel this was excessive."

UFC superstar Jon Jones called a police officer a "f**king liar" and a "pig" during a heated exchange in New Mexico last week ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

It all went down when Jon was pulled over in his white Corvette on suspicion of drag racing around midnight Thursday night.

The encounter was definitely heated from the beginning -- the officer making it clear he was NOT happy with Jones.

But Jon -- who is on probation from a hit and run conviction -- doesn't take kindly to the officer's tone and starts to bark back ... at one point calling him a "f*cking liar" and a "pig."

He added, "You're despicable."

The officer replied, "I feel the same way about you sir."

Jones went on "The MMA Hour" with Ariel Helwani and later apologized -- saying he was emotional and shouldn't have said what he said.

The UFC issued a statement saying, "We are aware of the situation and are looking into the matter. We've also been in touch with Jon's team regarding the matter."

We've transcribed part of the video below ... it's pretty crazy:

More trouble for UFC superstar Jon Jones ... who just revealed he was busted for drag racing in New Mexico last week.

Jones revealed the incident moments ago on "The MMA Hour" with Ariel Helwani -- but adamantly denied drag racing.

TMZ Sports spoke with the Albuquerque PD -- and a rep told us Jones was pulled over late Thursday night/early Friday morning for drag tracing.

He was issued 5 citations -- the main was for drag racing. The other 4 citations were for "equipment issues" including a modified exhaust and an "issue" with his license plate.

The incident could be devastating for Jones -- who is already on probation for a hit and run conviction. He was recently warned not to get ANY citations.

Story developing ...

A Tory Lanez concert turned into a WWE battle royal ... with chairs, bottles and tables getting thrown after the singer provoked the crowd to go berserk ... according to witnesses.

The "Say It" singer performed with K Camp in Midland, TX on Saturday night and while onstage, fans say Lanez told everyone ... "Let's f*** this place up!" You can tell from this video he's pissed about something. Lanez says, "Bitch ass security."

Things got out of hand quickly ... cops were called in, and security pulled the plug on the show. Multiple arrests were made and the venue was trashed.

The promoter and venue owners are both considering going after Lanez legally ... for inciting the riot.

Ron Newt ... the former pimp who's suing Terrence Howard and Lee Daniels for jacking his life story to make "Empire" has created a reality version of the show, and he's shopping it around.

"The Newt Empire" follows Ron and his family full of music hopefuls as they try to make it in the biz -- and Ron tries to repair relationships he's destroyed over the years. Based on the promo reel ... Ron clearly thinks he's the real Lucious Lyon.

Unlike Lucious ... Newt doesn't have a white daughter-in-law. Instead his is a very light-skinned black woman -- but you've gotta see her describe her first meeting with Ron.
