Drugs & Alcohol

Justin Bieber had drugs and drug paraphernalia strewn all over his house when it was raided Tuesday ... but drugs were not on deputies' radar ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... when L.A. County Sheriff's deputies searched the house ... there were 2 large cookie jars filled with weed in plain view. There were also 4 - 5 empty codeine bottles in the mansion.

There were also 3 bongs -- 1 in the TV room and 2 in the kitchen.

There were styrofoam cups scattered throughout the house that had elaborate drawings on them ... including the names of the people who used them. The cups, we're told, were used for Sizzurp (also called lean) -- which is Justin's drug of choice. We're told he likes to draw on the cups with markers after using them.

And speaking of Sizzurp ... Sprite is usually part of the mix, but we're told Justin preferred pineapple Fanta instead. There were empty Fanta bottles that were discolored ... we're told from the codeine.

There were lots of "swisher sweets" cigars laying around the house -- Bieber's preferred way to smoke marijuana.

And speaking of weed … we're told Justin has a dedicated smoking room in the house, complete with hookah pipes. Sources say when cops showed up ... some of his friends went into the room and some of the illicit stuff went down the toilet.

As for why cops didn't seize any of these items ... law enforcement sources say they were not on the hunt for drugs -- they were primarily looking for video equipment that may have been attached to surveillance cameras. In fact, cops probably couldn't pry and open jars and such, because it would have exceeded the scope of the search warrant.

TMZ broke the story ... Justin has developed a serious drug problem and his people are pushing him to enter rehab ... something he has resisted.

Justin Bieber and his buddies drink the champagne of sizzurp ... and lots of it -- TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Justin is a fan of Actavis prometh with codeine cough syrup -- known in the lean community as top of the line.

Street value runs around $800 a pint ... the biggest size you can get. It's not something you can buy over the counter at CVS for sure. You can either get it with a prescription or get it somewhere outside the U.S. We're told Bieber does the latter -- he has a connection that secures it in another country.

Our sources say when Justin is at his worst ... he downs between 8 and 12 ounces a day ... which is A LOT.

Dennis Rodman is in rehab to treat his never-ending addiction to booze ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to Rodman tell us the 52-year old basketball Hall of Famer checked into a treatment center a few days ago in New Jersey ... on the heels of his disastrous trip to North Korea.

We're told Rodman is "beyond exhausted and overwhelmed" ... and he will be in treatment for 30 days.

The Worm has had multiple stints in rehab. Dennis checked into a Florida treatment facility in 2008 ... and in 2009 he appeared on the third season of "Celebrity Rehab." He relapsed shortly after the show premiered.

Rodman blamed booze for his explosion during a recent CNN interview from N. Korea.

Justin Bieber is using drugs with alarming regularity ... and it's making him so erratic his people have been urging him to go to rehab ... sources closely connected with the singer tell TMZ.

Multiple credible, connected sources tell us ... Bieber has been using sizzurp regularly. It's typically codeine and promethazine mixed with Sprite and a Jolly Rancher. Bieber and his crew refer to it as "lean." It's a very dangerous narcotic that can trigger seizures, and even worse.

But that's not the only drug Bieber is using. We're told he's been taking lots of prescription pills, including Xanax, in addition to lots of alcohol and weed.

Our sources insist he does NOT do cocaine and has never done it in his life.

Justin Bieber's problem with sizzurp had early warning signs ... but no one picked up on them.

We went back and looked at this photo ... taken last month. You see a skate ramp in Justin's backyard, covered in spray paint.

Check out the reference to "double cup," with a styrofoam cup next to it. Double cup is code for lean mixed with double the amount of codeine.

As we first reported ... we've learned Bieber has been deep into the lean game lately -- it's codeine and promethazine mixed with Sprite and a Jolly Rancher. Bieber's also been abusing Rx drugs, as well as booze and weed.

Trace Adkins went nuts on an impersonator during a cruise BECAUSE it was the last straw ... we're told this guy has been a thorn in the country singer's side for YEARS.

The look-alike -- Michael Larsen -- has been following Trace around the country since 2007, sometimes having the audacity to sign autographs, pretending he was the real deal.

Our sources say the tipping point was the cruise to Jamaica. We're told Trace had no idea the guy was on the ship for the first two days. The singer was blindsided and angry when he walked into a bar on the ship and saw Larsen.

Trace has told his people ... he just had it with the guy but probably could have contained himself, EXCEPT for the fact that he was wasted.

Adkins -- who had been 12 years sober -- left the ship after it docked in Jamaica ... and is now in a rehab facility.

Playboy playmate Cassandra Lynn had indulged in large amounts of cocaine and booze before she was found dead in a bathtub ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Sources familiar with the investigation tell us ... Cassandra had flown to L.A. on January 14 and was the guest of a celebrity photographer. We're told Cassandra complained when she landed she was not feeling well.

The photog took her to a fitting and then a photo shoot in the afternoon and she continued to complain she wasn't feeling right.

Sources say they went to the photog's home in the early evening and partied. According to our sources ... the photog told law enforcement they had sex and did large amounts of coke and guzzled lots of champagne.

Their party ended at around 11 PM.

We're told at some point early the next morning the photog woke up, went to the bathroom and saw water running onto the floor. He then discovered Cassandra in the bathtub, pulled her out and attempted in vain to resuscitate her.

Joe Jonas has found a new gig after the dismantling of his band ... he drives a fancy cab.

Joe has been officially certified by Uber to drive drunk and sober people alike through the streets of L.A.

The middle Jonas took random passengers to Pinkberry this week. The question is ... why?

We're told he's working with a mystery company -- not Uber -- to film a spot they hope will go viral. We're getting conflicting info on the company ... some people are saying MINI Cooper, but we're not sure.

Justin Bieber won't be kicking his buddy Lil Za to the curb after this week's drug arrest ... in fact, Biebs is telling friends they're still as close as brothers -- and Za can stay as long as he wants.

Bieber's people have been urging the singer to bail on Za for months -- and they've turned up the heat up following the raid on his house this week -- but we're told JB won't budge.

Our sources say ... Za has an open pass to stay in Bieber's Calabasas mansion ... and he has no intention of leaving.

Shia LaBeouf was conciliatory and remorseful after he headbutted a guy in a London pub, claiming he's just like the next guy with faults and all, adding, "I'm super normal."

LaBeouf got into a nuclear argument with the other bar patron Thursday night in the London pub, Hobgoblin.

After the fight, LaBeouf reiterates the fight was over his girl's mom. You hear him say he gets angry when "people s**t on my girl's mom."

LaBeouf, who appears drunk, rambles on about himself with a woman in the pub -- saying how "normal" he is.

It's the new normal.

Recovering addict Lindsay Lohan is taking steps to ensure she stays clean and sober ... she's put herself up for hire to spend evenings in bars and nightclubs.

Sarcasm aside -- we've learned LiLo has hooked up with some Londoners with connections to the city's hottest clubs and other night spots ... and they've negotiated deals for her to make tens of thousands of dollars in appearance fees.

We're told Lindsay has already made some appearances and more are scheduled ... she's pulling in between $5K - $15K per appearance.

She claims she's stone cold sober ... in the middle of these boozefests.

So Oprah, looks like she took your advice, right?

CeeLo Green has a secret weapon in his felony drug case -- his hired gun Blair Berk.

CeeLo made it clear as he walked into the courthouse today for a boring hearing ... he has the best lawyer in L.A.

Truth be told ... Berk (above, in black dress holding door) lives up to the hype ... having repped just about every celeb with legal troubles -- from Robert Downey, Jr to Lindsay and Britney.

Justin Bieber is worried about what cops are going to find on his cell phone, but we're told his issues involve nakedness and drugs ... not so much eggs.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... when they searched Justin's house Tuesday, they seized his cell phone ... took it right out of his hot little hands. Sources say cops are interested in texts that could incriminate him. Cops want to see if he texted someone after the fact and bragged about the egging. One law enforcement source called it a "text high 5."

Sources tell us ... he's concerned more about drug discussions and references. Even if cops find drug references, Justin's in the clear given there's no physical evidence -- nonetheless J.B. is afraid it will leak out.

We're told he's also concerned that there are naked photos in his phone, although we don't know if they're action shots, selfies, etc.

And we're not even going to mention bad grammar.

Lil Za thinks he was arrested during the raid at Justin Bieber's house because he was the only black guy in sight.

Za -- who was arrested for felony drug possession Tuesday -- just tweeted, "Some stuff I've done has been wrong yes. but look at the position I'm in and the color of my skin. Cocaine? Really?"

Truth be told ... cops think it's Molly ... a form of Ecstasy.

It's unclear if Za is saying he was singled out because he's black or that cocaine is a "white guy's" drug.

Playboy Playmate Cassandra Lynn was found dead in her friend's L.A. home Wednesday ... and police are investigating the death as a possible overdose, law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We're told Lynn's friend found her floating in a bath tub. The friend then called police, reporting a possible OD. When paramedics arrived they could not revive her. Foul play is not suspected.

Lynn -- Miss February 2006 -- was 34.

Cassandra was pretty active on Twitter ... her last real tweet was three days ago.

Her Twitter updated automatically with her horoscope ... her latest reads: "Unspoken obligations prevent you from doing what you wish today ... No matter what you do now, you might not feel completely fulfilled. Working harder isn't the answer, but neither is escape." Eerie.

Country singer Trace Adkins fought himself on a cruise ship Monday -- or at least he may have thought he was fighting himself -- because it seems Trace was really wasted and he just checked into rehab.

Sources tell TMZ ... Trace was headlining a country cruise headed to Jamaica. He was in the bar when something happened between him and a Trace impersonator who was doing Karaoke. Trace -- who had been sober for 12 years -- had fallen off the wagon and got into a physical fight with the impersonator.

We're told once the boat docked in Jamaica ... Trace jumped ship. We're told he's now in rehab.

Trace and the impersonator in question previously met in 2007 (see video below). The impersonator's wearing sunglasses.
