Tiffany Haddish says her Georgia DUI case has been stuck in legal limbo for so long, it's now messing with her ability to travel the world and cash checks ... so she wants the whole thing tossed out.

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Tiffany has filed a motion to dismiss the case ... claiming the court violated her constitutional right to a speedy trial after letting the matter drag on for more than 4 years.

The comedian was arrested back in January 2022, but she claims the case has stalled because the judge still hasn't ruled on key motions -- including her motion to suppress certain evidence that was argued in court way back in May 2024.

Memphis Grizzlies' star Brandon Clarke was supposed to face an Arkansas judge -- set for just days after his sudden death yesterday ... and court records show the late NBA player had been staring down a series of serious criminal charges.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, Clarke had been charged with felony trafficking a controlled substance ... after authorities say they discovered illegal narcotics -- including popular painkiller Kratom -- during a traffic stop in April.

Keke Palmer and LaKeith Stanfield tried putting the pedal to the metal on some good deeds Tuesday ... but their free gas event ran into a little road rage when cops got called to the scene!

The stars pulled up to a Shell gas station in L.A. to promote their upcoming movie "I Love Boosters" Tuesday ... offering free gas to the first 70 drivers who rolled through -- although one latecomer ran outta fuel after missing the cutoff and called the police!

Thankfully, officers were able to pump the brakes on the complaint and other side dramas pretty quickly ... while Keke and LaKeith kept the vibes cruising smoothly.

And honestly, the event still looked premium grade. One lucky person even drove off with a full $100 tank ... while Keke posed for adorable pics with fans and babies.

Meanwhile, LaKeith kept things heartfelt -- talking about the importance of community support during tough economic times and calling attention to rising prices squeezing everyday people.

Brandon Clarke -- power forward for the Memphis Grizzlies -- died on Monday, TMZ Sports has learned. He was only 29 years old.

"Wild 'N Out" star Justina Valentine hijacked "TMZ After Dark" over the weekend ... and she didn't just prove she's a freestyle beast ... she also made sure Nick Cannon caught a few hilarious strays along the way!

The shots at Nick weren't random either ... considering it was Mother's Day weekend, Justina wasted no time clowning her boss the second she hopped on the bus -- joking the holiday was basically Nick’s Super Bowl.

Justina REALLY sent the party into meltdown mode when she compared Nick to Oprah Winfrey ... except instead of giving away cars, she joked he's handing out kids. "You get a kid! You get a kid! YOU get a kid!!!" ... and yeah, the whole bus lost it!

Tiffany Haddish had "so much fun" at the Kevin Hart roast on Sunday ... but we wanted to know how she felt about that controversial George Floyd joke.

Tiffany told us she was preoccupied, having to pee, and didn't catch it when Tony Hinchcliffe made a crack about Floyd -- who was killed in 2020 when a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck until he couldn't breathe.

TH claims she didn't hear the joke, so she didn't comment on the controversial quip itself. But she did note that people who seem to be complaining are comedians who weren't invited to the show.

It's been three months since the untimely death of James Van Der Beek ... and his family is still reeling from the unimaginable loss.

His wife Kimberly posted a lengthy IG post Tuesday with snaps of James and his kids ... and it really pulls on the heartstrings.

The beloved actor's widow wrote in part ... "To say I'm heartbroken is a severe understatement. Words just don't capture what grief is. The comforts of shock have worn off. The reality is settling in... and I miss him. We all miss him."

Alix Earle packed light for Miami ... unless you count all the cake she brought to the beach.

The "Hot Mess" bombshell recently turned South Beach into her own personal runway ... rocking a tiny printed bikini while lounging oceanside and snapping sultry selfies from her beach chair.

But the real attention-grabber came during a sunny dog walk ... when Alix slipped into a flowy cream cover-up that left her backside fully stealing the spotlight. Let’s just say the outfit was doing less covering than advertised.

D4vd looked more like he was waiting on a delayed flight than fighting a criminal case Tuesday morning ... casually slumping in his chair during a court hearing while his lawyers and prosecutors deliberated over the case's timeline.

The artist -- born David Burke -- appeared in Downtown Los Angeles for a status conference tied to his upcoming preliminary hearing ... rocking an orange jail jumpsuit and appearing unusually relaxed throughout the proceedings.

A sketch shows him entering the courtroom in restraints as he faces first-degree murder and mutilation charges tied to the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez ... whose dismembered remains were found inside a Tesla registered to the singer last year.

Jamie Foxx is about to be a dad again ... 'cause TMZ has learned his girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp, is pregnant with his baby.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ the couple -- who got back together last year after splitting in January 2025 -- are already several months along.

It's unclear exactly when the baby's due or whether they're having a boy or girl.

Jamie and Alyce were first linked in August 2022 when she attended the world premiere of his movie "Day Shift" ... and things started to really heat up in the summer of 2023, when we saw them at the Nobu Hotel in Los Cabos, Mexico.

Benny Blanco is reflecting on a VERY close call ... AKA the night he almost stabbed his friend to death after mistaking him for a home intruder!

He spilled the story on his "Friends Keep Secrets" podcast ... saying he woke up hearing a weird noise in the house and immediately tiptoed to the kitchen to arm himself with a knife.

Things got hilarious fast when Lil Dicky asked why he didn't just grab a gun ... but Benny admitted he'd probably accidentally shoot himself if he had one -- so a knife was the more responsible choice.
