Michael Lohan's recent arrest is leading to even more legal trouble, TMZ has learned ... 'cause now he has a warrant for his arrest out in Florida.

According to court documents ... an arrest warrant was issued last week after Lohan was arrested in Texas for allegedly assaulting his estranged wife, Kate Major.

The warrant relates to a case out in Palm Beach ... where Michael reportedly pled guilty to five counts of patient brokering back in 2022 for receiving commission for referring several patients to a particular rehab facility.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard says all of the letters Luigi Mangione is getting in jail will serve as a boost for the alleged murderer ... but, be warned, she adds -- 'cause there are lots of weirdos out there.

We caught up with Blanchard -- who served seven years after she was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of her mother -- at LAX Thursday ... and, we asked her what it's like to receive so much fan mail while locked up.

GRB says it's good to buoy your spirits ... but, it's important to distinguish between people who are genuinely reaching out versus the ones who are sending letters in an attempt to get something out of you.

Convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried is spilling the tea on life behind bars ... he's got an unlikely roommate situation, 'cause he’s sharing a cell block with none other than Diddy!

Speaking to Tucker Carlson via video link from Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, the former FTX mogul revealed he’s only seen one side of Diddy -- apparently, the kind one, saying the disgraced entertainment mogul's been nothing but nice to him and other inmates.

SBF added some perspective, saying being stuck in a soul-crushing place like prison is a situation no one wants to be in -- so all they really have is each other, and that's why kindness is key behind bars.

An arson suspect in California is probably nursing some painful burns ... 'cause cops say he accidentally lit himself on fire while trying to blow up a car -- and, they've got video of the incident.

Surveillance video from early Tuesday morning obtained by ABC7 Los Angeles shows a car burst into flames in Corona, CA ... before a man appears from behind the car with what looks like one of his shoulders on fire.

The man hops a fence and takes off down the street ... all while still engulfed in flames.

Even though Pras was found guilty in his federal fraud case ... he's holding out hope his boy Donald Trump will come through with a pardon!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the Fugees rapper on a (rare) rainy day in L.A. this week and he tells us it's no secret that he and his legal team have been clamoring for a pardon from the current Trump administration.

Pras says he and President Trump share a common adversary in the previous admin's Justice Department, which convicted them both ... the hip hop lyricist was found guilty in April 2023, but he's managed to keep his sentencing delayed.

Two men have been hit with criminal charges for their alleged roles in an ill-fated Kansas City Chiefs watch party that resulted in the death of three males.

Officials in Platte County, Missouri announced this week that Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson have been hit with three counts of involuntary manslaughter and two counts of delivery of a controlled substance ... after investigators say the two contributed to the deaths of Clayton McGeeney, David Harrington and Ricky Johnson back in January 2024.

You'll recall ... the trio of men went to Willis' K.C.-area residence to watch Andy Reid and Co. take on the Chargers -- but they were found dead two days later, frozen in Willis' backyard.

The police investigation into the murders of rapper G$ Lil Ronnie and his 5-year-old daughter in the Fort Worth, Texas area has hit a major break ... cops say they know who is responsible, and they're calling the suspects straight-up punks!!!

The Forest Hill Police Department held a press conference Wednesday and identified Adonis Robinson and Jakobie Russell as the suspects -- Police Chief David Hernandez called them both cowards and "public enemies" ... and pointed out Robinson's sex-offender past.

The two Texas natives are said to be on the run, scared and afraid to face the music ... but Hernandez vowed police will catch them.

The woman run over by an Amazon truck -- caught on shocking video -- faces months of physical therapy to recover ... but she holds no ill will toward the driver who fled the scene.

David Ellin, lawyer for Chelsey Douglas, tells TMZ … his client is finally out of the hospital but has a long road ahead after being run over and dragged by an Amazon van in Baltimore on the night of February 18.

Shocking video showing the incident went viral after the alleged driver, Jerome Allan Young Jr., drove off moments after seeing he had clearly hit someone. The driver stopped the van, got out and hovered over Chelsey as she cried out in pain, then got back into the van and drove away.

The cop who became something of an instant celebrity in his small New York town for arresting Justin Timberlake on suspicion of DWI last summer just landed an award of his own ... officer of the year!

Michael Arkinson of the Sag Harbor Police Department was bestowed the award by Chief Rob Drake in a recent ceremony ... where he praised the rookie for making "an immediate impact within the department and the community."

The chief also commended the rookie for leading the department in arrests and summonses ... one of which included taking JT into custody last June after a DWI stop.

A man allegedly impersonating an NBA agent was arrested last week ... after he was accused of stealing $769,000 in earrings -- and then swallowing them when he was confronted by cops.

The Orlando Police Department claimed in court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, the wild incident unfolded after Jaythan Gilder cruised into a Tiffany & Co. store at the Mall at Millenia and told clerks he was shopping for some jewelry on the behalf of an unnamed Orlando Magic player.

Cops say the store manager told officers Gilder was taken to a VIP room by two store associates to browse some high-end items. Soon after, though, Gilder allegedly grabbed a ring and some earrings valued at over $769K and attempted to flee.

Mike 'Boogie' Malin is in hot water -- again -- this time, for hitting up Los Angeles pharmacies and allegedly leaving without paying for a bunch of stuff ... TMZ has learned.

The Burbank Police Department tells TMZ ... the '"Big Brother" season 7 alum was arrested on January 29 after officers were dispatched to multiple CVS Pharmacy locations in the San Fernando Valley regarding shoplifting incidents.

Law enforcement sources tell us an employee from the first CVS told cops he confronted Malin outside the store and told him he needed to pay for the items he'd stolen. Malin went back into the store with the items, placed them on the ground, and departed the premises in his vehicle.

Casey Anthony is only embarking on her new career as a legal advocate for two reasons -- money and fame ... so says the judge from her notorious 2011 murder trial.

Retired Judge Belvin Perry Jr., who presided over Casey's child-murder trial, tells TMZ ... Casey, for starters, is craving attention after being out of the spotlight for a while.

Perry also says Casey wants to make some cold hard cash ... that's why she's asking her fans to pay $10 a month or $100 a year to subscribe to her Substack, which offers to help people with legal issues.

Rapper G$ Lil Ronnie and his 5-year-old daughter were shot to death Monday in Texas -- and dramatic video shows how part of the murder went down.

Police say the violence erupted at 10:45 AM yesterday at a car wash in the Fort Worth suburb of Forest Hill, where Ronnie and his daughter, R'Mani, were seated inside his stationary car getting washed by machines.

Suddenly, cops say 2 men jumped out of a white 4-door Kia and walked up to Ronnie's vehicle with guns drawn, pumping bullets into the hip hop artist and his little girl.

The anonymous woman who accused Jay-Z of rape in a since dismissed lawsuit is sticking by her story ... and she says he's intimidating and terrifying her.

The Jane Doe who sued Jay-Z and Diddy for allegedly raping her when she was a 13-year-old girl doubled down on her claims in new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... and she says HOV is trying to bully her into saying her accusations are bogus.

In the docs, the woman claims she was recently approached outside her home and cornered by two people who told her they were investigators working for one of Jay's lawyers.

Aubrey O'Day had a few choice words about her former boss, Diddy, while on "The Masked Singer" stage ... but some people connected to him want to remind Aubrey -- don’t bite the hand that fed you.

A source close to Diddy, with direct knowledge of the O'Day situation, tells TMZ it’s all thanks to Diddy she had the incredible opportunity when he cast her on MTV's "Making the Band" as a member of Danity Kane nearly 20 years ago.

The source also reminded us, Diddy is only detained and hasn’t even gone to trial yet to present a defense -- so none of Aubrey's claims hold up, at least not yet.

Casey Anthony has a new gig -- she’s now a self-proclaimed "legal advocate" and is promoting her role on her brand-new TikTok account.

The formerly acquitted defendant -- who was on trial for murder in 2011 for her daughter Caylee Marie Anthony's death -- explained that after being thrust into the legal spotlight, she’s turned what many saw as a curse into a blessing. She says her new goal is to give people a voice and the right tools when they find themselves in a sticky legal situation.

Casey used the video to reintroduce herself, saying she’d only be posting professionally, limited to legal matters, and that her drive to be a legal warrior really kicked off after seeing people she knows personally who were targeted and attacked recently. She doesn't specify, but she mentions being a proponent for the LGBTQ community and for women's rights.
