Published | Updated

President Obama is now officially the hero of Demaryius Thomas' family after cutting the wide receiver's grandmother a huge break on her life sentence.

Minnie Pearl Thomas is one of the 214 prisoners who got their prison sentences commuted by the Prez on Wednesday. Minnie got sentenced to life in prison in 2000 for running a cocaine distribution ring, but now she's set to be released Dec. 1 ... thanks to Obama.

Demaryius said this "Couldn't be a better day" ... as he gave the President a shout-out for giving families like his "second chances."

Ozzy Osbourne's Mistress SUES KELLY OSBOURNE ... You Slut-Shamed Me!

Published | Updated

Ozzy Osbourne's mistress, Michelle Pugh, just dropped a bombshell lawsuit on Kelly Osbourne -- in which she admits to a 3 year affair with the rock star ... but denies she abused him.

Pugh's pissed over several tweets that Kelly fired off after Ozzy's secret affair went public.

If you recall, Kelly blasted Pugh -- a hairstylist -- saying, "Anyone looking for cheap chunky LOW-lights a blow out and a b***job call [phone number]."

She also accused Pugh of manipulating Ozzy -- saying, "My father is almost 70 ever heard of elder abuse?"

Pugh says she was "slut-shamed, bullied and harassed."

In her suit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Pugh claims the relationship was no fling -- that Ozzy made advances and turned their friendship into a romantic situation in 2013. She claims they secretly dated until May 2016.

Pugh says Osbourne's accusation that she committed elder abuse is not only wrong -- but defamatory -- and caused her all sorts of problems.

Pugh says she's been emotionally damaged and lost business as a celebrity stylist.

In her suit, Pugh also says Ozzy and Sharon did not break up due to infidelity -- it was their arguments involving financial issues and control.

She also claims Ozzy did NOT financially support her.

We reached out to Kelly's camp -- so far, no word back.

Sharon went on "The Talk" Wednesday, and discussed Ozzy's sex addiction.

Phaedra Parks 'Bomb' Suspect Not a Threat ... He Was Racially Profiled

Published | Updated

Phaedra Parks is standing up for the rapper who got busted for threatening to blow up her office, and believes he was racially profiled by someone in her office building.

Phaedra tells TMZ she considers Drama a good friend, and knew he was going to come by her office last week to drop off his new CD. The 'Real Housewives' star says things started going south though when Drama went to the wrong floor.

According to Phaedra ... Drama demanded to see her, and when the receptionist asked him to leave -- because he wasn't in Phaedra's office -- he refused, and she called security. Here's where it really gets messy.

We spoke to Drama's mother, who says her son told the guard, "I have a bomb CD. It's about to blow up." She says the security guard followed up by asking if he had anything else about to blow up -- and Drama replied, "I got that bomb ass CD in the car" ... referring to a package full of CDs in his vehicle.

Moments later cops descended on the building and evacuated the place. Phaedra thinks whoever called the police just saw a guy in a white t-shirt and baggy pants with gold teeth ... and assumed the worst.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

She admits Drama had a poor choice of words, but says that's just the way he speaks -- plus, he thought he was having an innocent convo about his music.

Drama was booked for making terroristic threats, and is being held without bail. Phaedra says she spoke to him on Tuesday and is referring him to a criminal attorney.

Tyga USC Frat Books Rapper ... Gets Fleeced for $13,500

Published | Updated

A frat bro who thought he'd scored Tyga to headline a party, says he ended up losing a ton of cash ... and now cops are trying to track down a suspect.

The frat kid says he struck a deal back in February with a guy who promised to deliver Tyga for a Delta Tau Delta turn up. The frat guy in charge says he wired $13,500 to the broker.

But, according to docs obtained by TMZ, Tyga was a no-show at the party. The frat member says when he demanded a full refund ... the suspect went radio silent.

LAPD's now executed a search warrant at U.S. Bank to retrieve information about the owner of the account where the money was wired. The frat also hired a P.I. and according to the docs ... their guy tracked down the suspect and found out he's already being sued for ripping off someone else for $15k.

Cops haven't made an arrest yet.

Chris Brown Sued I Got Shot Because You're Down with Gangs

Published | Updated

Chris Brown's known gang ties set off the shooting spree inside 1 OAK, and the club should have done a better job screening for weapons ... according to one of the shooting victims.

Ginja Elms says he was among those shot in 2014 at 1 OAK on Sunset -- the same night Suge Knight got popped 7 times. In a lawsuit he's filed against Brown, Elms says the nightclub was well aware of the singer's gang affiliation, and as a result it should have patted down every single person entering that night ... including celebs and their crews.

He's also suing singer Pia Mia, who co-hosted the event with Brown. You'll recall Suge already filed a very similar suit against Brown, Mia and 1 OAK.

Aside from the obvious gunshot wound, Elms says he's suffered "disruption in his relationship with his wife."

He's suing for damages in excess of $750k.

NFL's Tarvaris Jackson Off The Hook In Crazy Gun Case

Published | Updated

NFL quarterback Tarvaris Jackson will NOT be prosecuted for allegedly pulling a loaded gun on his wife and threatening to shoot her ... TMZ Sports has learned.

33-year-old Jackson was initially charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly pointed a loaded gun at his wife during a fight in Florida on June 24th.

When cops arrived to the scene, they found the gun -- and according to the police report, Jackson admitted to saying he should shoot his wife ... who he claimed had threatened him with a knife.

But according to new court docs filed in Florida, the Assistant State Attorney says there's just not enough evidence to get a conviction if the case moved forward.

"From the investigation which has been made, it is the opinion of the writer that this case is not suitable for prosecution."

Bottom line -- Jackson is off the hook ... and will even get his bond money back.

WE WANT OTHER FAMILIES PROTECTED

Anton Yelchin's parents blame Fiat Chrysler's faulty gear shift for the death of their son who suffered greatly as he was trapped against a gate ... this according to a new lawsuit.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Irina and Viktor Yelchin say a defective e-shift gear selector led to the death of the "Star Trek" star after the actor got out of the vehicle, apparently believing he left his Jeep in park.

The suit claims Anton suffered after impact before ultimately succumbing to his injuries. According to the suit, "Yelchin was crushed and lingered alive for some time, trapped and suffocating until his death."

The Yelchins claims echo those in previous lawsuits against the automaker, where vehicles have crushed drivers who get out thinking the vehicle is in park.

Blue Lives Matter L.A. Wants $10k from Cop Falsely Accused of Racism By 'Django' Actress

Published | Updated

An LAPD cop, falsely accused of racism and brutality, is being attacked by an L.A. City agency for exposing the truth and defending himself ... and now the City wants a big chunk of his retirement.

It's a slap in the face to anyone who believes Blue Lives Matter. The L.A. Ethics Commission is gunning for recently retired LAPD Sgt. Jim Parker, trying to force him to pay a $10,000 fine for leaking audio to TMZ ... audio proving he did not profile a black woman engaged in lewd public conduct with her boyfriend.

You'll recall, "Django Unchained" actress Daniele Watts, who is black, was in a car with her white boyfriend near CBS Studios in the San Fernando Valley back in Sept. 2014. People from nearby offices called cops and complained they were having sex in the car.

Sgt. Parker responded, and when Watts refused to hand over her ID and then walked away, he cuffed her and placed her under arrest. Watts' BF went on a Facebook rant, which he then restated, claiming Sgt. Parker showed prejudice and aggression because of her color, and cuffed her so tight she was bleeding.

The LAPD did not come out and defend Parker, and he was getting skewered in the media ... labeled a racist cop.

That's when the Sgt. leaked to TMZ the audio of the encounter, which shows Watts was not only the aggressor, but falsely accused him of racism and threatened to get her publicist involved.

The Ethics Commission met Monday and is pressuring Sgt. Parker -- who has acknowledged he gave TMZ the audio -- to admit wrongdoing by leaking a police tape. The Commissions lawyer -- who was extremely aggressive at the hearing -- tried cutting a deal ... admit guilt and pay $2,500. Otherwise, the Commission would gun for the retired cop's checkbook to the tune of $10k.

Sgt. Parker is not going to fold, so the case is headed for trial.

It's pretty amazing ... a cop who did the right thing in the field and gets falsely accused of racism cannot defend himself from public humiliation.

BTW ... Watts and her BF pled no contest to disturbing the peace ... they had been charged with lewd conduct.

Tyga Expensive Pet Tiger Ain't MY Problem Now

Published | Updated

Tyga is nothing but a deadbeat dad to the tiger he illegally owned ... at least in the eyes of the sanctuary that's now racking up HUGE costs to care for the animal.

The big cat's now called Maverick and it's living at Lions, Tigers & Bears non-profit rescue in So Cal, but the staff tells us Tyga's never made any effort to help out with his care.

Founder and director Bobbi Brink tells TMZ ... it costs more than $10k a year just to feed a 500lb tiger like Maverick, plus there are vet costs, flea control and general maintenance. She says they rely on public donations to cover costs.

We're told the rapper hasn't so much as said thanks to the facility. You'll recall, Tyga faced criminal charges for having the exotic pet. He eventually surrendered it to animal control, which transferred the tiger to LT&B.

Law enforcement tells us Tyga effectively dodged the charges because they couldn't track him down when he moved. The good news ... Maverick looks like he's doing just fine.

Miss Florida USA Pageant Sued You Smeared Me to Strip Me!!!

Published | Updated

Genesis Davila -- the former Miss Florida 2017 -- says a pageant organizer royally screwed her out of her crown cause of his disdain for Puerto Ricans and to direct the new winner to one of his business clients ... so she says in a new lawsuit.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Davila accuses pageant boss Grant Gravitt of overt prejudice against Puerto Ricans and spreading lies to dethrone her -- saying she wasn't born in the U.S. and cheated at the competition by bringing in her own hair and makeup team.

Davila says she enjoyed the title for all of 6 days before a meeting with pageant officials. She says that meeting was supposed to be about proving her citizenship.

Instead ... Davila says it turned into a press conference, where she was told to resign and lie that it was "because her mother was sick in a hospital." The pageant later announced she was stripped of her title and crown.

Davila says Gravitt came up with all kinds of excuses to dethrone her ... just to steer the new winner to one of his clients and major financial sponsors, Pageant Ready.

As for a photo that surfaced showing her getting makeup help ... she says that photo was snapped a week before the pageant and Gravitt purposefully cropped out the time stamp to support his false claim.

Davila is suing for damages in excess of $15 million.
