Published | Updated

Andy Cohen will be earning his one-day sober chip this week because TMZ has learned he will not partake in alcohol during Thursday night's "Watch What Happens Live" ... as a show of support to his guest ... Lindsay Lohan.

For those non-"WWHL" fans ... the show always features a bartender, and cocktails are served throughout the show to both the guests and the audience ... and, of course, to Andy.

But according to our sources, Andy has vowed to not dabble in the libations for the evening, so Lindsay isn't tempted. It's unclear if there will be an open bar for everyone else, or if it will be a teetotalling night for all.

Maybe he'll intro himself. Hi, my name is Andy, and ...

Meek Mill Philly Cops Betta Have My Money 'Marijuana' Bust Cost Me Millions

Published | Updated

Meek Mill says the Philly P.D. screwed him out of a multi-million dollar shoe contract ... and now he's suing the City of Brotherly Love to get his cash back.

According to the lawsuit, Meek claims his Halloween 2012 arrest was total BS because even though cops claimed they smelled pot in his car ... they ultimately came up with zilch. Meek says he was cuffed for refusing to let cops search -- and he ended up missing a private jet flight to Atlanta.

Meek claims he lost $22k on the cancelled jet and a $39K appearance fee for the A-Town party he missed.

In the docs, he also claims he took a hit in negotiating a $2 million deal with Puma because all the negative pub from the arrest ... forced him to settle for a mere $650K.

Meek is suing the city of Philly for false imprisonment, invasion of privacy ... and most importantly (we suspect) to get back some of that lost dough.

I DIDN'T ABDUCT MY KIDS

Master P has each of his kids on tape saying he DID NOT kidnap them, and their mom has trouble with booze and weed ... claims she adamantly denies.

As TMZ first reported, Sonya Miller went to court yesterday trying to obtain an emergency order forcing the rapper to return their 3 minor children to her. Her request was denied until a court hearing in July.

But today a video popped up on YouTube of Master P interviewing each of his kids about the situation -- and they all backed their dad ... claiming their mother was the bad influence who had exposed them to weed and alcohol.

Master P goes on to say he wants Sonya to get help ... specifically rehab.

Responding to the video, Sonya's attorney tells TMZ she vehemently denies Master P's allegations and calls the video "a joke," "despicable" and "offensive." Miller's lawyer says she'd rather face her ex in court and not battle things out through the media.

Amanda Bynes Mom Takes Her Off Meds Despite Evidence of Mental Illness

Published | Updated

Amanda Bynes' mother just came out publicly and said her daughter does NOT suffer from Schizophrenia or bipolar disorder -- she says the only problem Amanda had was weed -- but multiple sources tell TMZ ... that's just NOT true.

Amanda's mom says all her her daughter's problems emanated from marijuana, and she is now weed-free, so Amanda is off ALL medications. Lynn Bynes says, "She has no mental illness whatsoever."

We made the rounds again Wednesday ... and everyone we spoke with stands firm -- Amanda does suffer from Schizophrenia and Bipolarity. Beyond our sources, there's documented proof of mental illness.

-- Amanda was placed on an LPS Hold last year after a judge heard evidence in the psychiatric hospital where she was being held. According to California law, someone can be placed on an LPS Hold only when the person remains "gravely disabled as the result of a mental disorder or impairment by chronic alcoholism." As we reported, doctors presented evidence of grave mental illness.

-- Amanda's mom won a temporary conservatorship after a court-appointed investigator determined Amanda was severely mentally ill. The judge granted the conservatorship order not too long after Amanda soaked her dog in gasoline and almost lit it on fire.

-- Amanda's lawyers in both California and New York won delays in her criminal cases based on mental illness.

-- Sources directly connected to Amanda and her treatment tell TMZ Amanda was given a complex Rx cocktail in a Ventura County psych hospital specifically for Schizophrenia.

-- Amanda spent weeks at the UCLA psych ward and at times was so incoherent she had to be restrained. Amanda left after she became freaked out by other patients.

-- Sources tell us, during Amanda's stay at a Ventura County psych hospital, she would tell doctors about the "Bad Amanda" and mimicked an exorcism and began biting herself.

-- Tamar Arminak, the celebrity lawyer who reps Amanda's mom, tells TMZ, "Amanda is now on zero medication." Her mother believes all the talk about Schizophrenia is false and that's why she took her off the meds. The mom says she's had no psychotic episodes in the last few months.

Sources connected to Amanda tell us they are alarmed and fearful.

Justin Bieber Barred from Miami Nightclubs They're Tired of His BS

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber was persona non grata at the hottest nightclubs in Miami this past weekend -- they ALL refused to let Bieber inside ... because he's a bigger headache than he's worth.

Club sources tell TMZ, Bieber's people called ahead last week, asking to reserve tables at LIV, Story, and Adoré while the Biebs was in town -- but the singer's camp was denied at all 3 locations.

We're told Bieber's people begged and pleaded, promising to spend big money on bottles if the clubs granted Bieber entry, but the clubs didn't budge.

According to sources, there were 2 reasons for refusing Bieber -- first, he's not 21 ... second, the last time Bieber went big at a Miami nightclub he was arrested for DUI.

The DUI resulted in a ton of negative press for SET nightclub -- where Bieber had been partying prior -- and the guys at LIV, Story, and Adoré just didn't think Bieber was worth the trouble.

We're told the clubs offered to let Bieber in if he agreed to perform a song -- since performers don't have to meet the 21+ age requirement -- but Bieber turned them down. And no one cared.

Bieber ended up having a low key night Friday night at Cavalli Restaurant and Lounge. It's unclear where he landed Saturday night, but it was NOT at any of the big clubs.

Waka Flocka Flame Rain Can't Stop My Sick Frat Parties

Published | Updated

Mother nature tried her best to ruin a Waka Flocka Flame gig on Friday night ... so the rapper said screw it, and took his outdoor show INSIDE AN ACTUAL LIVING ROOM!

Waka -- no stranger to sell out arena shows -- had a concert Friday at the University of Alabama's Delta Chi fraternity ... and it was supposed to be held in the backyard.

However, promoters say they were forced to move things into the living room when rain got too intense -- and based on the video, it looks the scene change made for a bad ass concert.

Waka requested 40 bottles of cheap champagne for the event -- which ran the frat over $25k.

Cleaning up your living room after a Waka concert ... priceless. (If they cleaned it, but you know they didn't)

Trick Daddy -- real name Maurice Young -- was NOT having a good hair day when cops stopped him outside his Florida home ... and according to docs, officers told the rapper they had a warrant to search his place.

He was booked into jail and later bonded out -- after being charged with possession of cocaine, possession of a firearm and ammunition by a convicted felon, and driving with a suspended license.

Now, being honest ... it's a little too thin to top Nolte's mug.

Judge Judy Judge Joe Brown Needs to 'Stay Sober'

Published | Updated

Judge Judy seems to think Judge Joe Brown's arrest last month had nothing to do with politics ... but more about hitting the bottle.

TMZ caught up with Judy outside of Craig's in West Hollywood last night, and when we asked if she had any words of wisdom for Joe ... she simply said, "Stay sober."

Now ... our photog was asking because of Joe's notorious courtroom meltdown ... but it's possible Judy was thinking more about the video that surfaced last August of Joe drunkenly interacting with a group of fans.

Either way ... Judge Judy has spoken.
