CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

Aaron Carter's threatening to go after cops for his DUI refusal arrest because he's adamant they never saw him behind the wheel ... and believes they had no right to arrest him.

Sources close to Aaron tell TMZ ... the singer wants to sue over his weekend bust in Cornelia, Georgia where he refused a breathalyzer and testing of his blood and urine to determine if he was intoxicated.

TMZ's obtained photos of the moment Habersham County deputies searched through Aaron and his girlfriend's belongings in an AutoZone parking lot. Aaron says he was targeted because of his celebrity.

He had said he was at AutoZone to fix his car's alignment. His rep says there's surveillance footage to prove he wasn't in the car when he was arrested.

"American Idol" contestant Haley Reinhart's friend suffered horrendous injuries the night she was arrested after a bar bouncer put him in a choke hold and allegedly beat him.

TMZ broke the story, Haley was arrested for allegedly punching the security guard in the face, but she says she was just trying to get the bouncer to release what she thought was a death grip.

Haley's friend, Alan Chislof, suffered a concussion, facial laceration near his right temple, a bad cut above his left eye, facial bruising and hematoma. The choke hold caused blood to flow to his eyes and he looks like he went 5 rounds with Mayweather. He says he's coughing up blood and complaining of chest pain.

Chislof's lawyer, Mark Brown, now promises a lawsuit.

We also got video of the confrontation, and gotta say ... it seems to support Haley's version of events.

Aaron Carter says cops targeted him at an AutoZone Saturday because of his celebrity and that's why he was busted for DUI refusal.

Aaron's rep tells TMZ ... Aaron was on the road promoting his new single when his car went out of alignment, so he decided to get it fixed at an AutoZone in Cornelia, Georgia.

The rep says Aaron wasn't even in the car when he was arrested, and there's surveillance footage to prove it.

As for the weed charge ... we're told Aaron has a medical marijuana license since he suffers from anxiety.

There's also this ... Aaron's blasting his older brother Nick for tweeting about the incident, saying, “If my own blood truly cared about my well-being, why wouldn’t he call me directly and have a conversation instead of making this about him through a very public forum? That’s not cool at all to use me for his PR and kick me while I am down. I love my family despite it through thick and thin.”

Abby Lee Miller went from dining at one of L.A.'s finest restaurants to $0.25 cent Ramen noodle packages overnight, but the good news ... she won't go without SPAM or du rags.

We got a copy of the commissary stocklist at FCC Victorville, where Abby just started her 366-day sentence for fraud. As you might guess ... there aren't a whole lotta healthy food options on it, but it's certainly affordable.

Hot & spicy pork skin chips -- $0.80
Cookies and cream ice cream -- $2.10
SPAM -- $1.30
Canned albacore tuna -- $1.80
Cola -- $3.45
Mirror -- $2.20
Lotion -- $10.25
Ear wax removal -- $5.20
Afro pik -- $.45
Dominos -- $5.50
Acne cream -- $1.30
Mustache scissors -- $6.35
Du rag -- $2.35
Racquet balls -- $5.40

The most expensive item on the list -- an MP3 player that goes for $69.20.

Abby needs to think it through ... all sales are final once an inmate leaves the commissary.

Vic Mensa's gonna dodge jail time in his loaded gun case after cutting a deal, unless he chooses jail over cutting a check.

The D.A.'s office tells TMZ the Roc Nation rapper will get 2 years probation after pleading no contest to carrying a concealed firearm in his car. The second count of carrying an unregistered loaded firearm was dropped.

He could've gotten as much as 2 years in jail, but now he's free and clear if he pays $500. He does have another option -- serve 2 days in jail. Since he just dropped his new album, "The Autobiography" ... we're guessing he'll pay. He also has to cover $1,325 in restitution.

Carmen Electra no longer feels safe in her own home after a man showed up there ... convinced he's engaged to marry her.

Sources close to Carmen tell us Daniel Lablanc showed up at her house back in June. She noticed him sitting in his car outside her house, and after a while she got worried and called cops.

Law enforcement sources tell us officers took Lablanc into custody for mental evaluation. According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Lablanc's friends say he has anger issues, and frequently got angry when anyone tried to convince him Carmen isn't his fiancée.

Ex-"Shahs of Sunset" star Sammy Younai had a sex contract all drawn up but then got pissed when his mattress got pissed on, and his reaction triggered an extortion investigation.

Sources close to the case tell TMZ ... Sammy was recently dating a woman who wanted rough sex. He emphatically shut it down unless she agreed to put something in writing to protect him from sexual assault claims.

We're told they worked it out over email and went forward. We're also told Sammy pulled out his cell phone and recorded part of the encounter.

Sources tell us after the session the woman peed on his mattress. Sammy was outraged and demanded she pay to replace it. She refused, and that's when Sammy allegedly said if she didn't ante up, some people will learn some stuff about her.

Sources close to Sammy tell us he never demanded money for the mattress and he's never asked for money from anyone he's been with. She went to cops and filed an extortion complaint.

Ashley Madison got caught with its pants down, and now to make up for it the extramarital affairs website agreed to fork over a pretty penny.

The website will pony up $11.2 million to settle a class action lawsuit against the site after it was hacked back in 2015 ... exposing sensitive information about its 32 million registered users.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, affected users can sign up to claim their piece of the pie. Ashley Madison will pay up to $3,500 to those with multiple accounts, and whatever's not claimed will be donated to charity.

TMZ broke the story ... a horny guy sued the site after a breach revealed the site actually had a tiny fraction of real women as users.

Ryan Lochte has been cleared of all charges in connection with his Rio hijinks.

An appeals court has thrown out the criminal charge filed against Lochte for allegedly lying to authorities when he told them he was robbed at gunpoint. Lochte was charged with false communication of a crime.

The judges ruled Lochte did not go to cops and report the incident ... they came to him after hearing stories in the media. So he never set out to create a lie, and that was the turning point in the case.

As you know, Lochte told NBC he and 3 other members of the U.S. swim team were stopped by men he thought were impersonating police officers. Surveillance video later showed the real story was Lochte and co. were stopped by owners of the gas station they'd vandalized.

Venus Williams' phone records could be crucial in the wrongful death lawsuit filed against her ... or attorneys for the man who died in the accident think so, anyway.

According to docs, attorneys for Jerome Barson's estate have filed a request for documents from the tennis star. They want all bills for the month of the accident for any smartphones and devices Venus owns.

Sources connected to the case tell us Barson's team wants to make sure Venus was not talking, texting or using her phone in any way in the moments leading up to the June 9 accident win Palm Beach Gardens, FL.

In the surveillance video ... you can see Venus' left elbow resting on the door through an open window -- we've slowed it down, but it's still not clear if she's holding a phone.

The estate's attorney, Michael Steinger, is also requesting prescriptions for any medications Venus may have taken within 72 hours of the accident.

Minnesota Vikings receiver Michael Floyd has been suspended 4 games for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Floyd violated the "no alcohol" part of his sentencing following his December 2016 super extreme DUI arrest. He spent a day in jail and was handed 5 more days of house arrest this past June.

Floyd blamed the failed test on Kombucha ... a fermented tea which contains a very small amount of alcohol.

DMX is out of jail ... posting $500k bond after he was charged with multiple counts of tax evasion.

Nicholas Biase, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, tells TMZ ... the rapper pled not guilty to 14 counts of tax evasion. He needed 2 co-signers to pony up the bail. DMX has been slapped with travel restrictions that will require him to stay close to home ... in the NYC area. He'll also be under strict drug testing, and can't carry any firearms while on bail.

We're told the court will decide at a future hearing if X can leave the NYC area for work purposes. He has a show Saturday night in Brooklyn ... which he discussed outside court Friday. No refunds will be necessary.

TMZ broke the story ... DMX surrendered to the feds after prosecutors said he hid several years worth of income and now owes the IRS nearly $2 million.

Mel B's bank account is gonna take a painful hit -- at least for now -- because she's been ordered to pay her estranged husband $40,000 a month.

Stephen Belafonte's request for emergency spousal support was granted by a judge who agrees ... he needs help paying for food, housing and his phone, among other things. It could have been worse for Mel. According to docs, she could have been forced to pay $15k more per month -- based on income and expenses -- but the judge cut her a break.

The order also includes a one-time payment of $140,000 for Stephen's legal fees. So, Mel will have to cut a check for that, plus $40k monthly, until both sides work out their final divorce settlement.

As we reported ... Mel argued last month that Stephen's financial requests were ridiculous and he needed to get a job. Looks like he can afford to be picky about work ... for a while at least.

DMX and the IRS have major beef ... the feds just slapped the rapper with 14 counts of tax evasion, and he's already surrendered to law enforcement.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in NYC says DMX has concealed his income for several years and is now about $1.7 million in the red to the IRS. According to the indictment, X had cash pouring in during the early 2000s from a slew of hits. The feds even name checked "X Gon' Give It to Ya" in the docs.

They say he was avoiding using personal bank accounts, using accounts of surrogates -- including business managers -- and lived mostly on cash.

According to the docs, when DMX appeared on 'Couples Therapy' he was supposed to be paid $125,000 -- but when he got his initial check the proper taxes had been withheld ... which didn't sit well with him. The feds say he went back to producers and demanded a new check for the full amount ... which he got.

In the indictment, prosecutors say he listed his income in 2011 and 2012 as "unknown" ... when in reality he'd made $353k and $542k, respectively. In 2013, he finally did report income ... of $10k. That number was a little off, according to feds, who say he actually hauled in $250k that year.

"American Idol" alum Haley Reinhart's friend was taken down by bouncers and choked so hard ... his entire head was blood red during the bar brawl that led to Haley's arrest.

TMZ obtained video of the melee, and it's intense -- 2 bouncers at the Lamplighter Inn, outside Chicago, had Haley's male friend surrounded and at least one of them had his hands wrapped around the friend's neck.

Haley was right in the middle of the fracas and you see her square off with one of the bouncers, who accuses her of punching him in the head before tossing her out of the bar.

The brutal video seems to support what Haley's attorney told us -- that bar staffers had assaulted one of Haley's friends, leaving him with multiple injuries.

As we first reported, Haley was booked for misdemeanor battery.

Rob Kardashian may be guilty of revenge porn, but he says Blac Chyna is trying to get her own revenge ... in the jewelry department, so claim sources connected to Rob.

Our Kardashian sources say a few days before Rob went off Friday by slut shaming Chyna, he was courting her with bling. They say a jeweler came to Chyna's house with 7 pieces of jewelry, worth a total of $250k. Rob wanted Chyna to pick one as a gift from him.

The jeweler decided to leave all 7 so Chyna could mull it over. Then Rob went crazy, and our Kardashian sources say she only returned 3 pieces, keeping a ring and 3 tennis bracelets ... worth around $125k. We're told Chyna tried charging a significant amount on Rob's card for some of the jewelry, but it was flagged and denied by Rob's business manager.

We're told the jeweler has contacted Chyna several times, telling her the gift was off the table and asking her to return all of the items, but it's fallen on deaf ears.

To add insult to injury, Chyna wore the 3 tennis bracelets to court Monday when she got a restraining order against Rob.

Chyna begs to differ. Celebrity lawyer Lisa Bloom, who reps Chyna, tells us Rob outright gave her all 7 pieces as a gift so she had no obligation to return anything. Bloom says after Rob's tirade, Chyna decided to return 4 items but kept the tennis bracelet set because she liked them and as she saw it returning 4 items that were legally hers was a gift to Rob.

It's now the Wimbledon of jewelry disputes.

A rep for Rob declined to comment.
