Published | Updated

5:55 PM PT -- Meek just posted his first pic after prison -- chilling in a living room and cracking jokes about a friend's broken foot. Good to be home.

Christmas has come early for Meek Mill ... he's getting out of prison today.

Mill has been in a Philadelphia correctional facility since July ... when a judge sentenced him to 3-6 months behind bars for violating probation.

Mill was granted parole on the condition he complete a community service and treatment program. It's unclear exactly what that program will involve, at this point.

One hang up ... Mill is not allowed to travel outside of Philly until he completes the programs. So, touring is off the table for now.

Lady Gaga Denies Claim By Kesha's Lawyer That Dr. Luke Raped Her

Published | Updated

Lady Gaga is calling BS on Kesha's lawyer, who claims Gaga has accused Dr. Luke of raping her.

Gaga insinuated on Howard Stern Tuesday morning she had been sexually assaulted by a record producer years ago, but she didn't name names.

Mark Geragos just tweeted, "Guess who the rapist was?" Someone responded and asked if it was Luke, and Geragos replied, "#bingo."

Gaga's rep tells TMZ, "It's absolutely not true," although she would not comment on who Gaga was referring to when she made her comment on Stern.

Luke's rep tells TMZ, "Mark Geragos' statement is completely false and defamatory. Luke met Lady Gaga twice for less than half an hour total in those two meetings combined." The rep adds, "He has never been alone with her and never touched her. Neither meeting was in that time frame reported."

But Geragos tells TMZ, "I said it because it's true." Geragos says the Cosby scandal is a trigger for the revelation, saying, "The Cosby allegations have now made others more courageous about coming out."

Geragos says he will depose Gaga in Kesha's sexual assault lawsuit against Dr. Luke. He also tells us 3 other women -- "not as famous" -- also claim they had a similar experience to Kesha's and they will be deposed as well.

Gaga's rep just expanded on the singer's denial, saying, "The Dr. Luke lawsuit is utterly incomprehensible. This simply isn't true and how dare someone take advantage of such a sensitive matter."

L.A. Kings We Screwed Up! Slava's Gotta Stay Away

Slava was suspended after his October arrest for allegedly beating up his wife. As we told you ... he pled not guilty yesterday, but participated in a team practice today -- a violation of his suspension.

The Kings added ... "This was clearly a mistake on our part and we accept full responsibility."

Snooki's Hubby I Spent My Honeymoon in DUI Court

Published | Updated

If Snooki and new hubby Jionni LaValle left their wedding reception in a car with tin cans attached, it's a safe bet he didn't drive ... because we found he was on the heels of a drunk driving arrest.

Jionni spent the first weekday as a married man in court, where he copped a plea in his criminal case. He was arrested August 7 on Interstate 80 in Totowa, NJ at 3:30 AM after cops noticed him driving erratically.

Jionni pled guilty to DUI on Monday and had 2 other charges -- unsafe lane change and careless driving -- dismissed. His license was revoked for 3 months and he has to attend a drug and alcohol education class.

Snooki can relate ... she was arrested in 2010 for public drunkenness on the Jersey Shore.

Ariana Grande Obsessed Fan in Santa Suit Placed on Psych Hold

Published | Updated

A man who sent Ariana Grande a 42-pound pumpkin and other weird gifts showed up at the NYC headquarters of her record label wearing a Santa suit ... and that was enough to put him on a psych hold.

Tim Normandin had been warned by cops to stop harassing Ariana ... in addition to the pumpkin, he sent her Yankee candles, a $200 anklet from Kay Jewelers and a rock from the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

The Santa stunt was the last straw, and Tim was in a mental facility for 3 days last week, but here's the problem ... he is back out on the streets.

It's unclear if she's getting a restraining order, but it's always dicey ... unstable, obsessed people typically aren't confined by restraining orders.

Of course, the Rams have come under fire from the St. Louis Police Officers Association -- which demanded an apology ... saying the players ignored "mountains of evidence" in the case and offended cops around the country.

But Sharpton doesn't see it that way -- telling TMZ Sports, "I think to criticize people for expressing themselves is against what America ought to be about."

DJ Mustard Pulled a 'Rack City' Ripoff On Me ... Says Ex-Pal

Published | Updated

DJ Mustard gets credit for producing huge songs -- like "Rack City" and "My Ni**a" -- but he isn't half the hit maker he claims to be ... according to a buddy who says Mustard's been burning him badly.

Music composer Mike Free says he actually wrote, composed and recorded the music that ended up becoming Tyga's hit ... "Rack City" ... but in a new lawsuit he says DJ Mustard isn't giving him his due -- in terms of credit AND cash.

In the suit, Free says he and Mustard were childhood friends who made a deal to share composer and producer credits. According to Free ... he had tons of ideas for tracks ... while Mustard had the connections to sell 'em.

Free says he did the same for a ton of other tracks like -- "I'm Different" by 2Chainz ... "Don't Tell 'Em" by Jeremih ... "Party Ain't a Party" by Jamie Foxx ... and "I Don't F**k With You" by Big Sean. And that's just a few of 'em.

Bottom line ... Free wants his cut of royalties from all those songs and proper producing credit.

Paris Hilton Death Threats By Anti-Semitic Crazy Man

Published | Updated

A crazy anti-Semitic man -- who believes Paris Hilton is Jewish -- has threatened to kill her, and we've learned the LAPD is after him.

Cops just got a search warrant allowing them to track down the Instagram and Facebook account of someone who is making overt threats against Paris and her dad, Rick Hilton.

In one post, the man writes to Rick, "one month and she's dead, she's never coming home."

The man says in another post, "Invite [Paris] to the match so we can gang raper her ass hahahahahaha." And then he threatens, "I'll beat u and that bitch to unconscious."

The guy clearly thinks the Hiltons are Jewish -- which they are not. He wrote, "KILL JEWS FOR FUN," and "I know ur Jew family gives nothing" ... an obtuse accusation that the Hiltons are cheap.

Our law enforcement sources say cops think they know who's making the threats, but they need the Facebook and Instagram verification before they can make an arrest.

Published | Updated

R&B star Jeremih is about to find out Fuddruckers can be way more expensive than he thought ... because his visit could now cost him thousands of bucks in legal fees, because he's about to get arrested.

TMZ broke the story ... Jeremih was at a Billings, MT Fuddruckers when he and his crew began hurling beer bottles after accusing management of being racist.

Cops in Billings tell us they've reviewed the surveillance video and have gone to prosecutors for an arrest warrant. The likely charges will be criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.

The manager of the chain says Jeremih and his posse were hitting on a female employee, and when he asked them to back off they went nuts.

'Operation Repo' Star Nabs Car Chase Suspect ... You're Welcome, Cops!

Published | Updated

The star of "Operation Repo" was Johnny-on-the-spot ... ending a L.A. car chase by blocking the fleeing suspect until cops could arrive -- but no one recognized him due to his extreme weight loss.

Lou Pizarro played the hero at the end of the chase -- which, of course was televised (this is L.A.) -- when the suspected car thief abandoned the vehicle ... and tried to run away on foot.

Pizarro -- who's been hauling in vehicles on 'Repo' for 8 years -- happened to be in the right place with the famous red pickup truck he uses on the show. Pizarro made a hard right turn to pin the suspect up against a fence ... allowing cops to catch up to the guy.

Here's the thing ... local news talked to Pizarro after the chase, but never recognized the TruTV star -- probably because he's half the man he used to be. We're told Lou's dropped about 150 pounds after getting a gastric sleeve 15 months ago!

Way to go, not-so-big guy.

Casey Kasem Cops Send Elder Abuse Case to D.A.

Published | Updated

The LAPD has submitted the Casey Kasem elder abuse investigation to the L.A. County D.A. and it targets Casey's widow Jean ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story ... an investigation was launched after Casey's kids filed a police report claiming Jean caused Casey to get bed sores that became infected and contributed to his death.

The kids claim Jean was more interested in keeping their dad from them than protecting him, which is why they say she took Casey on a wild, multi-state car ride shortly before his death.

Our law enforcement sources tell us it's unlikely the D.A. will file charges against Jean because there's not enough available evidence. The kids have been fighting for a full autopsy but Jean has resisted.

Casey's body is still rotting in Norway. It has not been buried or even embalmed.

The D.A. says it does not have the case yet, but our LAPD sources say it has been submitted.

The legendary DJ died last June.

50 Cent Bank Account FROZEN

Published | Updated

50 Cent can't get 50 cents out of his ATM, because his personal bank account is now off limits.

It seems 50 didn't pay a whopping $17.2 million judgment over a deal he made to market headphones for a company called Sleek Audio. Sleek claimed 50 stole its design and then tried marketing it on his own. The law sided with Sleek, and 50 got hit with the massive judgment.

Legal Lesson: If you don't pay a judgment, the winner can garnish your wages and freeze your bank accounts.

A source connected to 50 tells TMZ the rapper has complete access to his business bank accounts ... the only account affected by the judgment is his personal.

And it's not like he's broke. Forbes estimates 50's worth at $140 million.

An attorney for 50 tells us they are appealing the Sleek Audio judgment, and the company has been "desperately attempting" to hold money from any accounts it can locate. He added ... don't worry about 50 because his assets are "appropriately protected."

Bill Cosby I'm Stepping Down from Temple

Published | Updated

Bill Cosby has just resigned from the Temple University Board of Trustees, which is especially significant because the sexual assault case he settled in 2006 was filed by a Temple employee.

Bill, who attended the school in the '60s and played football as well as running track, says, "I have always been proud of the university and its students. As a result, I have tendered my resignation ..."

Andrea Constand, who worked for the women's basketball team at the university, filed suit against Cosby in 2005, claiming Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her. She filed a lawsuit and Cosby settled in 2006.

Cosby and his wife have donated money to Temple and a scholarship was created in their name.
