Celebrity Rehab

Jussie Smollett está leyendo las memorias de Matthew Perry mientras continúa buscando ayuda para el abuso de sustancias, sin duda un interesante material de lectura durante un momento tan difícil en su vida.

La ex estrella de "Empire" fue fotografiada el lunes en Studio City, California, donde estaba sentado solo y hojeando las páginas del Bestseller de Perry del 2022, "Friends, Lovers, and the Big Terrible Thing: A Memoir", que detalla las luchas del difunto actor con la adicción.

Jussie tenía un ordenador portátil con él y también fue visto usando su teléfono durante esta salida, pero parece que estaba más preocupado de las memorias.

Por supuesto, el propio Jussie está en rehabilitación en este momento, esto después de registrarse en un centro de tratamiento ambulatorio en octubre.

Su uso de sustancias fue revisitado a lo largo de su juicio penal en Chicago, que por cierto, parece volver cada cierto tiempo.

Recordemos que recientemente perdió su apelación después de haber sido condenado por mentirle a la policía sobre un crimen de odio que afirmó se llevó a cabo en su contra... y su condena se avecina

DaBaby says his days with alcohol are a wrap ... a decision made after he embarrassingly couldn't stop puking in front of his daughter!!!

The Diamond-selling rapper admitted he got too wasted over the weekend and sent a warning to friends, family and any pesky club promoters dangling bottles in his face that his sobriety was serious and there would be serious repercussions to anyone who didn't respect it ... possibly in the form of a concussion!!!

To make matters worse, DaBaby says he still had to pick up his daughter Velour from her mother DaniLeigh while being thrashed ... and the 2-year-old got a front-row view in her car seat of her daddy blowing chunks from the back seat 🙈!!!

While he was at the mercy of his bubble guts, DaBaby says his daughter kept cheering him on by saying "Good job" ... making it the last time he wanted to dial up that loser Earl.

DaBaby then doubled down on trading in his tequila shots for shots to the dome if you offered him a drink.

He's not the only "rockstar" to abandon alcohol lately. Wiz Khalifa revealed last month he was 8 months alcohol-free but is still pro-weed, which he calls "Cali Sober."

10:05 AM PT -- Jussie Smollett y su equipo no van a caer sin antes luchar, un representante nos dice: "Queremos destacar que la decisión fue dividida, con el juez Lyle ofreciendo un análisis detallado a favor de Smollett. Nos estamos preparando para elevar este asunto al Tribunal Supremo, armados con un conjunto sustancial de pruebas".

Jussie Smollett acaba de recibir un gran portazo en los tribunales, pues su condena por haber falseado un ataque acaba de ser confirmada.

Un tribunal de apelaciones de Illinois emitió el fallo el viernes. El panel de tres jueces votó 2-1 para mantener la condena de Jussie, de acuerdo con nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ.

La clave de la apelación de Jussie era el argumento de que él no puede ser procesado porque, después de la acusación inicial, la Fiscal del Estado del Condado de Cook, Kim Foxx, decidió no procesar el caso. Ello suscitó enormes críticas y se nombró a un fiscal especial que, en última instancia, acudió al gran jurado que lo volvió a acusar.

Los dos jueces que confirmaron la condena dijeron que no era relevante que se hubiese retirado la acusación inicial. El juez que discrepó, en tanto, dijo que la decisión de Foxx de no procesar el caso era en realidad una promesa a Jussie de que este había terminado.

Con el fallo, es probable que Jussie regrese a una cárcel de Chicago para completar su condena de 150 días.

Recordemos, el actor fue condenado inicialmente en 2022 y pasó 6 días en la cárcel del condado de Cook antes de ser puesto en libertad mientras intentaba conseguir que anularan su sentencia.

Ahora, Jussie se ha quedado con las manos vacías, pero su equipo legal tiene la opción de apelar la decisión a la Corte Suprema de Illinois, que luego decidiría si escuchar el caso.

Durante su apelación, Jussie lanzó nueva música, dirigió una película con Vivica A. Fox, hizo ejercicio con Taraji P. Henson, fue a rehabilitación y se afeitó la cabeza.

Será interesante ver si Jussie apela nuevamente, o bien, si se dirige de otra vez a la cárcel ... Permanezcan atentos.

11:51 AM PT -- Special prosecutor, Dan Webb, tells TMZ ... "The appellate court ruled on every issue Mr. Smollett raised in our favor and against him. This was a resounding and profound victory for us today. Having a dissenting voice in the ruling is not uncommon. The decision by the appeals court is final."

He concluded, "What happens next is Mr. Smollett can file a petition for a higher appeal to The Illinois Supreme Court. This is purely discretionary meaning the court does not have to hear this appeal. He lost all legal rights to an appeal with today’s decision. If the Supreme Court decides to hear his appeal, there will be briefs filed and a hearing date set. If not, then the case goes back to the trial court, which will execute his sentence."

10:05 AM PT -- Jussie Smollett and his team aren't going to go down without a fight, a rep tells us, "We wish to highlight that the decision was divided, with Justice Lyle offering a detailed analysis in favor of Smollett. We are preparing to escalate this matter to the Supreme Court, armed with a substantial body of evidence."

Jussie Smollett just took a big L in court ... because his conviction for his hoax attack was just upheld.

An Illinois appeals court handed down the ruling Friday, with the three-judge panel voting 2-1 to uphold Jussie's conviction ... according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

The key to Jussie's appeal is the argument he could not be prosecuted because after the initial indictment, Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx decided not to prosecute the case. That drew enormous criticism, and a special prosecutor was appointed who ultimately went to the grand jury that indicted him again.

The 2 justices who upheld the conviction said the decision not to move forward with the case was not equivalent to an agreement never to charge him. The 1 dissenting justice said Foxx's decision to not prosecute was in effect a promise to Jussie the case was over.

With the ruling, Jussie appears likely to return to a Chicago jail to complete his 150-day sentence.

Remember ... Jussie was initially convicted in 2022, spending 6 days in Cook County Jail before being released while trying to get his sentence overturned.

Now, Jussie's come up empty ... but his legal team has the option of appealing this decision to the Illinois Supreme Court, which would then decide on whether to hear the case.

During his appeal, Jussie dropped new music, directed a film with Vivica A. Fox, worked out with Taraji P. Henson, went to rehab and shaved his head.

It will be interesting to see if Jussie appeals again, or heads back to jail ... stay tuned.

"Mob Wives" star Renee Graziano has checked in to a Texas rehab facility following a drug relapse.

Renee's manager, Chris Giovanni, tells TMZ ... she called him Monday from the treatment center, where she was accompanied by a counselor and only had 10 minutes to talk.

He says Renee told him she overdosed back in mid-September on what she described as a "bad batch" of an unspecific drug she'd gotten from a dealer. She didn't give Chris any other details about the OD.

Chris says what she did tell him, though, aligns with his struggles to get in touch with Renee from September to now ... adding any contact they had during that period was sporadic and brief.

Chris says Renee attributes her relapse to struggles related to the death of her father, Anthony Graziano, who passed away in May 2019.

Renee's life in the spotlight has been marred by hardship -- particularly in January 2022, when she was arrested for driving while impaired after crashing her car into a parked SUV on Staten Island.

Soon after, Renee pledged to kick her sleeping pill addiction by seeking treatment from "The Hills" star Jason Wahler and his Red Songbird Foundation ... in the hopes of getting her life back on track.

La estrella de "Mob Wives" Renee Graziano ingresó a un centro de rehabilitación en Texas tras una recaída en las drogas.

El manager de Renee, Chris Giovanni, le dice a TMZ que ella lo llamó el lunes desde el lugar, donde estuvo acompañada por un consejero. Solo tuvo 10 minutos para hablar.

Dice que Renee le dijo que tuvo una sobredosis a mediados de septiembre, con lo que ella describió como un "lote malo" de una droga no especificada que consiguió de un distribuidor. No le dio más detalles a Chris sobre la sobredosis.

Chris dice que la historia coincide con sus dificultades para ponerse en contacto con Renee desde septiembre. Añade que el contacto entre ellos fue esporádico y breve durante ese periodo.

También dice que Renee atribuye su recaída a las luchas relacionadas con la muerte de su padre, Anthony Graziano, quien falleció en mayo de 2019.

La vida pública de Renee se ha visto empañada por las dificultades, sobre todo en enero de 2022, cuando fue detenida por conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol tras estrellar su carro contra un todoterreno aparcado en Staten Island.

Poco después, Renee se comprometió a dejar su adicción a las pastillas para dormir, buscando ayuda con la estrella de "The Hills", Jason Wahler y su Red Songbird Foundation, con la esperanza de poner en marcha su vida nuevamente.

12:57 PM PT -- A rep for Cher reiterated her denial about the kidnapping claim to TMZ, telling us ... "Not true thanks for checking."

Cher says she had nothing to do with the alleged "kidnapping" of her adult son -- this despite the fact her daughter-in-law has claimed the whole thing was orchestrated by mom.

The singer was asked point blank about this by the New York Post, which did a new interview with her chronicling her career and legacy. During the chat, they brought up this bizarre story that surfaced last month ... courtesy of Marieangela King (aka Queenie).

In recent court docs pertaining to her ongoing divorce from Cher's son, Elijah Blue Allman, King made a startling allegation ... namely, that Cher supposedly had Elijah forcibly taken from his hotel room in late 2022 ... this while he and MK were attempting to reconcile.

Per Daily Mail, Elijah had been staying at a hotel in L.A. for several months at the time -- allegedly battling substance abuse -- when this staged abduction/intervention took place ... so says King in a declaration she made in court. She claims that, as they were talking in his room, four men stormed in and snatched Elijah against his will ... dragging him away.

King alleges that one of the men revealed to her that Elijah's mom, Cher, had actually hired them -- adding in her court paperwork, "I am currently unaware of my husband’s wellbeing or whereabouts. I am very concerned and worried about him." She also said she believed he was at a rehab facility at an undisclosed location ... without access to his phone.

Now, one month after all these revelations surfaced ... Cher is outright denying any involvement. She told the Post, "I didn’t do it, and if I did it, I wouldn’t say I did it."

She adds, "You never stop being a mom -- you go to the end, you go to the mattresses when you’re trying to save your children. But I didn’t do it. And if I did it, I wouldn’t care to tell you." Interestingly, this echoes what she told People about 2 weeks ago.

At the time, she said ... "I’m a mother. This is my job -- one way or another, to try to help my children. You do anything for your children. Whenever you can help them, you just do it because that’s what being a mother is. But it’s joy, even with heartache -- mostly, when you think of your children, you just smile and you love them, and you try to be there for them."

FWIW ... Elijah's father, Gregg Allman, died in 2017 from complications tied to liver cancer. Also, we've reached out to Cher's team for further comment -- so far, no word back.

Cher dice que no tuvo nada que ver con el supuesto "secuestro" de su hijo, que ya es un adulto, esto a pesar de que su propia nuera asegura que todo fue orquestado por ella.

El New York Post le hizo una nueva entrevista sobre su carrera y legado, y abordó el tema sin rodeos. Durante la conversación, sacaron a relucir la extraña historia que salió a la luz el mes pasado, cortesía de Marieangela King (aka Queenie).

En recientes documentos judiciales relativos al divorcio en curso con el hijo de Cher, Elijah Blue Allman, King hace un alegato sorprendente y es que supuestamente Cher habría sacado a Elijah a la fuerza de su hotel a finales de 2022. Esto, mientras él y Marie King estaban tratando de reconciliarse.

Según Daily Mail, Elijah se había estado quedando en un hotel de Los Ángeles durante varios meses, donde había estado supuestamente luchando contra el abuso de sustancias, cuando fue secuestrado e intervenido. Así lo explica King en una declaración que hizo ante el tribunal, donde asegura que mientras hablaban en su habitación, cuatro hombres irrumpieron y se lo llevaron en contra de su voluntad, arrastrándolo.

King alega que uno de los hombres le dijo que la madre de Elijah, Cher, los había contratado, añadiendo en su documentación judicial: "Actualmente, no estoy al tanto del bienestar o el paradero de mi marido. Estoy muy preocupada por él". También dijo que creía que estaba en un centro de rehabilitación en un lugar no revelado, sin acceso a su teléfono.

Ahora, un mes después de que se hicieran públicas estas revelaciones, Cher niega rotundamente cualquier participación: "Yo no lo hice, y si lo hubiese hecho, no lo diría", dijo al Post.

Y añade: "Nunca dejas de ser madre: llegas hasta el final para salvar a tus hijos. Pero yo no lo hice. Y si lo hubiese hecho, no me importaría decírtelo". Curiosamente, esto se hace eco de lo que dijo a People hace 2 semanas.

En ese momento, aseguró: "Soy madre. Ese es mi trabajo, de una manera u otra, el tratar de ayudar a mis hijos. Haces cualquier cosa por ellos. Siempre que puedes ayudarlos, lo haces porque eso es ser madre. Pero es con alegría, incluso cuando duele, sobre todo, cuando piensas en tus hijos, solo sonríes y los amas y tratas de estar ahí para ellos".

Jussie Smollett's timing to enter rehab is peculiar ... at least according to the Osundairo brothers, whose testimony was critical in convincing a jury to convict him.

Abimbola "Bola" and Olabinjo "Ola" Osundairo tell TMZ ... if Jussie really had a problem that required treatment from rehab, he could've checked himself in a long time ago ... but he waited until an appeals court was ready to rule on his conviction for faking a hate crime.

Ola and Bola believe Jussie realizes his chances of having the conviction overturned are remote, and he may be trying to create sympathy so he serves time under house arrest and not in jail.

Jussie appears to be in rehab for substance abuse other than alcohol. He was spotted Monday with a fresh haircut ... clutching a "Narcotics Anonymous" book.

Bola had previously admitted he scored Jussie drugs but denied he ever sold them to the actor.

Regardless, the bros are hoping Jussie gets the help he needs ... but Bola adds, "Truth will set him free."

As we reported, Jussie was sentenced to 150 days in jail after being found guilty of lying to police about an alleged attack by 2 Trump supporters in 2019 -- he was released shortly after he began serving his sentence, pending the appeal.

Since then, he's been spotted working on set in California and even hanging out with his former "Empire" costar Taraji P. Henson.

El momento elegido por Jussie Smollett para entrar en rehabilitación es peculiar, al menos según los hermanos Osundairo, cuyo testimonio fue crucial para convencer al jurado de que lo condenara.

Abimbola "Bola" y Olabinjo "Ola" Osundairo dicen TMZ que si Jussie realmente tenía un problema que requería tratamiento de rehabilitación, podría haber ingresado hace mucho tiempo, pero esperó hasta que un tribunal de apelaciones estuviera listo para pronunciarse sobre su condena por fingir un crimen de odio.

Ola y Bola creen Jussie se da cuenta de que las posibilidades de tener la condena anulada son remotas y él puede estar tratando de crear simpatía, por lo que cumple tiempo bajo arresto domiciliario y no en la cárcel.

Jussie parece estar en rehabilitación por abuso de sustancias distintas al alcohol. Fue visto el lunes con un nuevo corte de pelo y cargando un libro de "Narcóticos Anónimos".

Bola había admitido anteriormente que compartió drogas con Jussie, pero negó que alguna vez se las haya vendido.

A pesar de todo, los hermanos esperan que Jussie obtenga la ayuda que necesita, pero Bola añade: "La verdad lo hará libre".

Como informamos, Jussie fue condenado a 150 días de cárcel después de ser declarado culpable de mentir a la policía sobre un presunto ataque de 2 partidarios de Trump en 2019. Fue liberado poco después de comenzar a cumplir su sentencia, a la espera de la apelación.

Desde entonces, ha sido visto trabajando en el set en California e incluso pasando el rato con su ex coprotagonista de "Empire" Taraji P. Henson.

Jussie Smollett tiene un nuevo look mientras sigue adelante.

La estrella de "Empire" apareció el miércoles luciendo la cabeza rapada mientras recibe tratamiento ambulatorio en un centro de rehabilitación.

Jussie llevaba un libro de "Narcóticos Anónimos" mientras entraba en el centro de rehabilitación, donde está recibiendo tratamiento por abuso de sustancias.

TMZ publico la historia, Jussie ha estado luchando contra las drogas. Su representante nos dice: "Jussie ha tenido unos últimos años extremadamente difíciles. Él ha estado trabajando en silencio muy duro desde hace algún tiempo y estamos orgullosos de él por tomar estas medidas necesarias".

El actor sigue luchando contra su condena por fingir un crimen de odio en Chicago allá por 2019, cuando aseguró que dos partidarios de Trump enmascarados le atacaron y le pusieron una soga en el cuello.

Jussie fue condenado a 150 días de cárcel por el incidente, pero fue puesto en libertad mientras su caso es apelado. Esa apelación aún está pendiente.

La naturaleza del abuso de sustancias no ha sido revelada, pero el consumo de drogas se mencionó bastante durante su juicio.

Jussie Smollett has a new look as he turns over a new leaf.

The "Empire" star was out and about Wednesday sporting a shaved head as he gets outpatient treatment at a rehab facility.

Jussie was carrying a "Narcotics Anonymous" book as he walked into the rehab center, where he's getting treatment for substance abuse.

TMZ broke the story, Jussie has been struggling, with his rep telling us ... "Jussie has had an extremely difficult past few years. He has quietly been working very hard for some time now and we are proud of him for taking these necessary steps."

The actor is still fighting his conviction for faking a hate crime in Chicago back in 2019, when he claimed two masked Trump supporters attacked him and put a noose around his neck.

Jussie was sentenced to 150 days in jail for the incident, but released from jail while his case is appealed. That appeal is still pending.

The nature of the substance abuse has not been disclosed, but drug use was mentioned quite a bit during his trial.

Jussie Smollett is getting help through a rehab treatment facility ... TMZ has confirmed with a rep from Smollett's camp.

The rep tells us, "Jussie has had an extremely difficult past few years. He has quietly been working very hard for some time now and we are proud of him for taking these necessary steps." We're told Smollett is in an outpatient program.

Smollett's rehab stint comes amid his ongoing appeal in his Chicago criminal case. As we've reported, Jussie was found guilty of lying to cops about an alleged attack back in 2019 where he claimed two masked Trump supporters attacked him and put a noose around his neck.

Jussie was sentenced to 150 days in jail for the incident, but was released from jail for his appeal a short time after the sentence. He's been spotted working on film sets here in California as the legal process plays out -- including a project with Vivica A. Fox -- where he seemed to be directing.

JS has also been hanging out with his former "Empire" costar, Taraji P. Henson, spotted on a hike in L.A. -- so, he hasn't necessarily been trying to lay low ... even hitting the BET Awards last year, catching a bit of flack from folks who were shocked to see him attend.

Though we don't know exactly what he's getting treated for ... drug use was mentioned quite a bit during his trial. The Osundairo brothers -- who claimed Jussie hired to be his attackers -- took to the stand to claim they were also his dealers ... and they supplied him with illegal substances on a number of occasions.

Bam Margera left detox early and is telling friends he's going to spend the weekend in Las Vegas ... sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ.

The former "Jackass" star had been detoxing in San Diego at a place Lamar Odom helped him get in, but we're told Bam didn't want to complete the program ... and on Monday he bounced.

Our sources say Lamar was desperately trying to get Bam to return to the detox center and finish up at Odom Wellness Treatment Centers, but Bam instead agreed to stay at Lamar's home in Calabasas this week, with Lamar continuing to encourage Bam to finish treatment.

Despite Lamar's best efforts, we're told Bam bolted Thursday ... and he's since been telling friends he's planning a weekend trip to Sin City.

Bam dined at Nobu in Malibu with a friend Thursday ... shortly after leaving Lamar's place ... but it's unclear who is joining him on his Vegas trip.

It's a sharp turn for Bam, who started the detox June 7 after cops put him on a 5150 psychiatric hold following a video rant where Bam threatened to smoke crack until he died or saw his son, Phoenix.

Bam Margera's son Phoenix is inspiring him to detox and sober up following a psych hold ... and his estranged wife is allowing him to talk to their kid again.

Nikki Margera's attorney, David Glass, tells TMZ ... she's given the green light for Bam and Phoenix to start communicating, and they're talking over FaceTime while Bam's in rehab.

We're told Bam's FaceTime sessions with Phoenix are being modulated by one of Bam's therapists ... and, so far, things are going well.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Bam is still in treatment at one of Lamar Odom's rehab facilities, and Nikki is not talking to him on the FaceTime calls.

There's been a lot of bad blood between Bam and Nikki ever since she filed for legal separation, including a series of angry texts Bam recently sent her, so it's not a surprise she's staying off the calls.

Our sources say Bam usually dominates the FaceTime convos with 5-year-old Phoenix, with Dad typically going on for about 5 minutes.

Bam Margera getting treatment at Lamar Odom's wellness center can't come fast enough for his estranged wife, who says she got some very aggressive texts after he was released from a psych hold.

Nikki Margera's attorney, David Glass, tells TMZ ... "Bam has started texting since his release from the 5150 hold, but the content quickly turned abusive, calling Nikki awful names, saying she is the cause of all his problems, even saying she’s a 'gold digger.'"

David says Nikki's still hopeful Bam's upcoming treatment will help him learn to take responsibility for himself -- adding she also hopes he'll learn how to communicate without being abusive.

Bam's attorney, Peter Thompson, says Bam was pissed after finding out Nikki's filed docs asking for $15,377 in child support, spousal support and $50K in attorney's fees.

Thompson tells us, "Bam continues to support her and Phoenix even though she won’t even allow a phone call or FaceTime with Phoenix. He just wants to see his son and continues to come up against a brick wall on that. Contact would go a long way in getting this resolved."

TMZ broke the story, Bam's been detoxing as of Wednesday's release and went with Lamar to one of his treatment centers. The former NBA star even checked in on Bam earlier in the week while he was under the psych hold.

The "Jackass" star posted a pic Thursday of himself with Lamar, saying he's starting his rehab journey.
