Reuben Foster Charged with Felony Domestic Violence
49ers linebacker Reuben Foster has been charged with felony domestic violence stemming from a February incident in which he allegedly beat up his GF so bad, he ruptured her eardrum.
Officials say ... on February 11, Foster's 28-year-old live-in girlfriend flagged down a stranger’s car to call 911. She called police. The victim claimed Foster dragged her by her hair, physically threw her out of the house, and punched her in the head 8 to 10 times.
The woman was hospitalized for her injuries and later released.
According to the Santa Clara District Attorney ... 24-year-old Foster faces charges of domestic violence with an allegation that he inflicted great bodily injury, forcefully attempting to prevent a victim from reporting a crime, and possession of an assault weapon – all felonies.
He is also charged with misdemeanor possession of large capacity weapon magazine -- since officials say they found a Sig Sauer 516 with a high-capacity magazine during the search of Foster's home.
FYI, it's illegal to posses a Sig Sauer 516 in the state of California.
If convicted, Foster faces more than 11 years in prison.

On Wednesday in court, it was revealed that prosecutors and defense attorneys are looking into sending Aldon to an inpatient substance abuse facility.

Lil Wayne's Paternity Test Mr. Carter ... You Are NOT the Father!!! OHHH!!!
Somebody get Maury out here quick -- 'cause Lil Wayne is NOT the father of a woman who said he was just that to her little boy, and owed her dough ... TMZ has learned.
We've obtained the results of Weezy's paternity test, which he took to prove if he was Keiotia Watson's baby daddy. Turns out, he absolutely didn't father her 16-year-old son, Dwayne Brown.
According to the docs, there's a 0.00% chance that Wayne is the father of Keiotia's boy -- despite the fact she claimed they had a sexual relationship in 2001. Even if that's true, zero percent is pretty convincing to us.
As we reported ... a Louisiana judge ruled in Watson's favored after she filed legal docs to establish paternity and get child support from Wayne. He never paid up though, and a new trial was ordered, as was this paternity test to decide the matter once and for all.
Looks like it's still just 4 kids for Weezy F. Baby. Freedom!

Amanda Bynes Furious w/ Twitter and Instagram ... Take Down Fake 'Broke' Accounts!!!
Amanda Bynes is waging war with Twitter and Instagram ... accusing the social media giants of allowing impersonator accounts to claim she's too broke to buy her meds and needs fans to wire her money.
Amanda's attorney, Tamar Arminak, tells TMZ ... she's sent multiple legal letters demanding Twitter shut down "@persianLA27" and Instagram remove "@alb4386" because they impersonate Amanda ... telling fans she's short on money and friends refuse to help her.
The accounts are private but we've obtained a screen shot of a recent IG post claiming she's $63 short from buying meds and begs fans to Venmo her the dough.
The fake Twitter account -- with more than 24k followers -- had numerous replies from fans saying "Amanda" deserves to get money that's owed to her "especially if it's court-ordered."
Tamar says they've been fighting Twitter now for years to remove the account ... Amanda's verified account posted in 2016 telling her followers not to believe the impostors, and then again last year, calling out the fake account for saying she's pregnant and married.
What's more ... Tamar -- who thinks the same person's behind both accounts -- claims Twitter told her the account's a parody and therefore doesn't violate rules. She claims IG told her it doesn't violate their policy and offered no further explanation.
For the record -- Tamar says Amanda's financially well, thriving in fashion school and in a much better place following her 2014 health scare.
We've reached out to Twitter, Instagram and Venmo for comment ... so far no word back.

XXXTentacion Girl I Jokingly 'Tapped' in Head Tried to Get $300k Outta Me
XXXTentacion is suing the woman he appears to have smacked in the head in a video, claiming she's lying about what really happened, and hitting him up for a stack of cash.
XXX says his manager reached out to the woman right after she posted the video last month. As TMZ first reported ... he says her grandparents called back and asked what the rapper would be willing to do to "make everything good."
According to the suit, the grandparents alleged XXX had also thrown a BB gun at the woman's face prior to the hit seen on video. He claims they asked for $300k in exchange for the woman's silence. In docs, the 20-year-old hip-hop star says she was threatening to hold a news conference to blast him as a frequent abuser of women.
In the suit, X says the woman was lying when she posted a message saying she didn't reveal the video earlier because she was "terrified for her life." In fact, in the suit he says he was just joking in the video while dancing behind her, and merely "tapped the back of her head."
His side of the story is she had admitted to him the whole thing was just horseplay, and she was NOT injured. He claims she and her family were taking advantage of his tight situation -- he's already awaiting trial for an alleged 2016 beating of an ex-girlfriend, who was pregnant at the time.
He's suing the woman for fraud and defamation.
