Drugs & Alcohol

The Game has a really good reason he flew into a fit of shirtless rage outside a Hollywood nightclub recently -- he was waaaaaaaaasted.

Game was leaving Lure nightclub last week, when a major fight broke out, creating mayhem in the streets. It's unclear why, but during the melee Game took his shirt off and looked like he was ready to beat someone's ass ... so much so, his entourage had to restrain him.

Amanda Bynes says she is planning to unleash a hailstorm of lawsuits against the NYPD and her apartment complex ... all over her arrest earlier last week ... or as she puts it, her "mistaken arrest."

Bynes just went on another glorious Twitter rampage, saying she plans to file a lawsuit against the NYPD for:

-- "Illegally entering my apartment"
-- "Lying about drugs on me"
-- "Lying about me tampering with non existent drug paraphernalia"
-- "Being put into a mental hospital against my will"
-- "Then locked up overnight for coming home after a facial and working out with my trainer like the good girl that I am."

Bynes also claims she's allergic to drugs and alcohol and is "proud to not be a drug or alcohol user."

17-year-old rap sensation Chief Keef is crying RACISM -- telling TMZ the "fat ass" hotel security guard who busted him for smoking weed had it out for him because he's black.

TMZ broke the story ... Keef was arrested in ATL for disorderly conduct after a security guard at Le Meridien Atlanta Perimeter Hotel called 911 this week ... claiming Keef was "rolling marijuana" inside his hotel room with two "black male" friends (one of whom was fellow rapper Tray Savage).

Here's Chief's account of the situation:

"So me and my homie Tray Savage was in the hotel room chillin' when some fat ass security guard started knocking on the door talking about he needed to fix a water leak."

"So his ass walked in and started looking around at us and immediately gave me the racist look then started talking sh*t to me."

"I told him, 'I thought you wanted to fix a water leak?' Which he obviously lied 'cause there was no water leaking."

"Then he immediately started talking sh*t to us. He told me that he was going to call the police on me so I called him a bitch."

"He kept saying how the police about to be on their way to lock me up so I blew smoke in his face and pulled out 30 racks (white person translation: $30,000) and said I got the bond money -- there is more where this come from."

Keef says he felt the security guard was "racist from the moment he walked in the room. The way he looked at us was a racist look."

As we previously reported, the security guard told 911 he was only on Keef's floor to track down a water leak in the hotel ... when he got to Keef's smoke-filled room, the rapper let him inside "as if it doesn't even matter."

FYI, the security guard (who is white) has already denied racism accusations -- and called "TMZ Live" this week, saying he was simply doing his job when he called 911 ... because marijuana is illegal.

Lindsay Lohan might be an all-star rehabber at Betty Ford ... but Michael Lohan remains unconvinced of the center's healing powers, telling TMZ he wants LiLo transferred STAT.

Our photog spotted Michael arriving at LAX Saturday afternoon and asked the doting dad's thoughts on LiLo's situation at BF and if he was in town to visit LL while she serves her time recovers.

Michael quickly made his position clear -- he's no fan of Betty Ford and wants to transfer Lindsay to a different facility ASAP.

Lindsay Lohan was expected to screw up again in rehab -- at least that's what we here at TMZ thought -- but to our amazement, she's actually become a model patient this time around.

Sources close to Lindsay tell us, the actress has been attending ALL of her group and one-on-one counseling sessions at Betty Ford -- and she's not only taking them seriously, she's talking to friends about what she's learned ... especially issues involving self-control and reckless impulses.

Lindsay is saying the program is getting more complicated and emotional, but she's not shying away.

We're told Lindsay is sleeping in a room with two roommates because she doesn't want to be alone. Get this -- there's no drama -- she's getting along with both.

Several people who have visited her at Betty Ford tell us Lindsay looks better than she's looked in a long time.

Damon Wayans Jr. became the most popular guy in an ATL nightclub this week ... when he whipped out his credit card and bought a round of 200 SHOTS ... TMZ has learned.

It all went down inside Vanquish nightclub on May 20 -- where DWJ and "New Girl" star Jake Johnson had been shooting a scene for their movie "Let's Be Cops."

We're told the club was packed with more than 200 extras for a crazy bar scene -- and Damon was so pumped about how the scene went down, he sprung for shots ... FOR EVERYONE!

Damon even jumped behind the bar at one point and helped pour the booze ... tequila, vodka and Jägermeister.

Total bill -- $2,300 ... plus tip (we're assuming he tipped).

FYI -- Damon was sporting a full cop outfit for the scene.

"To protect and serve ... booze."

Amanda Bynes just tweeted something the cops clearly aren't buying -- she says she's drug free.

Amanda says, "I only smoke tobacco. I don't drink or do drugs." She adds, "I've never had a bong in my life!"

As you know, Amanda has been accused of smoking pot in her apartment and then throwing a bong out the window after police entered.

And there's more. Amanda says, "I need to get another nose job after seeing my mugshot!"

New York's finest returned to the scene of the alleged crime just a few minutes ago -- combing Amanda Bynes' apartment building for information and witness statements.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... NYPD cops got statements from the night doorman as well as 2 other employees, who were there when Amanda was allegedly smoking marijuana in the lobby and acting crazy.

We're told cops also went upstairs to Amanda's floor for more witness statements.

As we reported ... cops arrested Amanda after finding weed in her apartment. They also say she threw a bong out the window, allegedly to 86 evidence of a crime.

Cypress Hill M.C. B-Real proved he's insane in the brain last night -- by rolling a joint filled with 6 OUNCES of weed yesterday ... and then taking a photo to prove it!!

And now it's time for some SUPER FUNTIME POT MATH!

According to our amateur marijuana experts, an ounce usually runs around $300 ... so 6 ounces would be roughly $1,800.

BUT ... we're told people who buy in bulk usually get a discount -- like, "buy 5 ounces, get the 6th ounce free" kinda stuff ... so let's go ahead and call it $1,500.

Bottom line -- that's a lotta weed. Your move, 2 Chainz ...

Amanda Bynes is back on the streets ... the judge released her on her own recognizance moments ago in NYC -- after she offered a hysterical excuse to cops for her alleged bong-tossing arrest.

According to cops, Amanda told them what she threw out the window last night was "just a vase." The official complaint was read in court.

Prosecutors requested Bynes be held in lieu of $1,000 bail. The judge instead chose to let her go without bail ... but gave her a stern warning that if she missed her court date in July an arrest warrant would be issued.

Amanda was escorted out of court by an officer ... and left, on her own, in a taxicab.

9:30 AM PT -- Amanda has been formally charged with attempted evidence tampering, reckless endangerment and marijuana possession.

8:52 AM PT -- TMZ obtained the criminal complaint from the incident ... which says a man in Amanda's building told cops he witnessed the actress smoking a joint in the first floor lobby.

The report says an officer went to Amanda's room ... and saw a bong on the kitchen counter.

According to the report, the cop -- wearing a "full police uniform" -- asked Amanda about the bong ... and that's when the actress flipped out.

Here's the cop's narrative -- "I observed [Amanda] grab said bong, run to the westbound-facing window, and throw it out the window where numerous pedestrians were walking on the 8 Avenue and West 47 Street sidewalks below."

Amanda Bynes had to remove her platinum blonde wig when she posed for her mug shot last night ... revealing a super short hair cut ... and Bynes didn't appear happy about it.

Bynes sported a scowl and a black shirt when she posed for the photo ... following a bong-throwing arrest in NYC last night.

The 27-year-old actress arrived to court this morning to face a judge -- wearing the wig again -- but it was clear she didn't want to be photographed.

Amanda Bynes has just arrived to court to face a judge about her bong-throwing arrest in NYC last night ... sporting the same clothes and platinum blonde wig she was wearing last night.

Bynes was led into the courtroom in handcuffs ... after spending the night in jail ... and asked photogs not to shoot her as she tried to hide her face.

As we previously reported, Bynes was booked for marijuana possession, tampering with evidence and reckless endangerment after cops say she chucked a glass bong out of her apartment window.

Amanda Bynes was arrested in her NYC apartment Thursday night for marijuana possession and throwing evidence out the window ... TMZ has learned.

According to law enforcement sources ... a building official called police after spotting Amanda in the lobby with a joint, acting erratically and talking to herself. We're told when cops arrived they knocked at her door and she let them in.

Our sources say when police saw the bong Amanda quickly tossed it out the window ... which fortunately didn't hit anyone on the street below.

Amanda, who was wearing a platinum blonde wig, was placed under arrest and went ballistic, yelling, "Don't you know who I am?"

She was booked for criminal possession of pot, as well as reckless endangerment and FELONY tampering with evidence.

Our law enforcement sources say Amanda was briefly taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation and then taken to the station for booking.

But the cop shop wasn't the last stop. A cuffed Amanda was then taken to night court just before midnight. She's still there in a holding cell, waiting for a judge. She should get a hearing sometime this AM.

Justin Bieber wants to party with you as soon as you sign a contract to ensure you never, ever say a word about partying with him -- because silence may be golden, but talking could cost you millions!

Lil Scrappy believes he's addicted to weed ... and after failing a court-ordered drug test, the rapper will enter a rehab facility for treatment, TMZ has learned.

Scrappy appeared in a Georgia courtroom moments ago, where officials revealed a urine test Scrappy took last week came back positive for marijuana.

TMZ spoke with Scrappy's lawyer, Mawuli Mel Davis, who tells us ... the rapper will check into a rehab facility before the next court hearing in June.

Davis also tells us ... Scrappy acknowledges he's addicted to smoking marijuana.

We broke the story ... Scrappy was recently jailed for violating his probation back in March after a dispute over a different pee test. According to court officials, Scrappy tried to turn in a urine sample that was cold to the touch and may have been tampered with ... and when asked to submit another cup, he refused.
