Young Buck could go to prison for faking a piss.

The rapper -- who is on a probation -- used someone else's urine to pass a drug test ... so claims his probation officer.

The P.O. says Buck came in for his drug test and concealed a plastic bag with someone else's clean pee, and then used a tube to transfer it into a sample cup.

Turns out it's a felony to falsify a court-ordered urine test, punishable by up to 5 years in prison.

Steve Nash wants everyone to know how awesome it was to drop ecstasy pills -- when it was legal, of course ... so he's making a movie about the drug craze.

The ex-NBA MVP is producing the flick centering around the drug's popularity in Dallas in the '80s (h/t BSO) ... when it was legal. We know what you're thinking -- Nash played for the Dallas Mavericks from 1998 to 2004.

The answer is yes, that's when he learned about X ... strictly from talking to people in Big D, of course. Steve told Variety, "After poring over the material I found an incredibly unique story with so many vibrant characters and a bold history known as the origin to the rave scene ecstasy culture."

Rosie O'Donnell wants everyone to know that the 25-year-old man who was with her runaway 17-year-old daughter Chelsea when cops found her has a serious criminal record.

O'Donnell set off a firestorm by pointing the finger at Steve Sheerer, who she alleges has done this type of thing before.

Fact is ... Sheerer does indeed have a criminal record. He was arrested in 2012 for heroin possession, heroin possession with the intent to distribute, and endangering the welfare of a child. He pled guilty to one heroin charge and the other 2 were dismissed. He was sentenced to 53 days in jail.

And just before his sentencing, Sheerer was arrested again for possession of Suboxone -- a drug to treat opiate addiction.

Police were able to find Chelsea by pinging her cell phone, and they discovered her with Sheerer at a house where he was staying.

Joe Jackson did not OD on Viagra, and he's ready to sue some media outlets that made the claim.

A rep for Joe tells us the 87-year-old's lawyer has an international media company called RTL in the crosshairs for reporting that Joe's stroke and heart attacks were triggered by too much Viagra.

Other media made similar claims, and Joe's lawyer plans to go after them as well.

The rep says Jackson has hospital records proving there was no Viagra in his system when he was admitted.

Jackson arrived back in the U.S. this week after suffering three heart attacks and a stroke while vacationing in Brazil.

Kobe Bryant's romantic night out in Japan with his wife is sparking a battle royale in our office -- prepare to join the melee.

The issue: Kobe and Vanessa went out for dinner in Tokyo and ordered sake. Totally NON-controversial -- right up until they drank the sake.

However, every etiquette guide to drinking sake points out it is actually supposed to be sipped. That is, unless you're an uncultured 22-year-old frat boy.

Captain Morgan is putting his foot down -- not on a barrel of rum ... on another Captain it claims is ruining its business by using a similar character to sell psychedelic drugs.

The company that's drawn the Captain's ire is Captain Amsterdam. According to the lawsuit, Captain Amsterdam sells e-cigarette refills, as well as "psychedelic and stimulant drugs such as salvia" ... a throwback to Miley's escapades with salvia.

Morgan claims Amsterdam sells a whole line of "questionable" goods using various Captain names, including Captain E-Juice, Captain Salvia and Captain Kava.

Troubled NFL star Josh Gordon's camp is shooting down widespread reports he got busted for another DUI ... and making it clear he's still working hard to get back into the league.

News of an alleged DUI arrest was all the buzz on social media Monday morning after an Atlanta news station retweeted a story about Gordon's July 2014 bust in North Carolina.

Gordon's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed to TMZ Sports there is NO new arrest ... and adds Josh settled the old case. As we previously reported, Gordon pled guilty and got off with 12 months probation ... which he's just one month shy of completing.

Rosenhaus told us Josh is keeping his nose clean and "doing all the things he has to do to get ready. We fully anticipate him being back for the 2016 season."

Bad Boy rapper Machine Gun Kelly just gave Diddy a real slap in the face by fraternizing with the enemy, 50 Cent, and pounding Fif’s rival vodka like a poster boy for the stuff.

MGK crashed 50’s Pool After Dark party last weekend in Atlantic City. Not a big deal ... except it was an Effen vodka event and MGK is signed to Diddy’s Bad Boy Records where Ciroc rules supreme.

We’re told all Bad Boy artists are supposed to plug Diddy’s vodka … it comes with the territory. MGK even bathes in the stuff in his 'LTFU' video.

MGK screwed up by getting up onstage in front of a giant Effen banner with 50 at the party.

50 and Diddy have a storied beef and 50's repeatedly played off the rivalry when plugging Effen ... going as far as using the hashtag #nomorepuffyjuice.

The hashtag's made its way to t-shirts ... that people were wearing … inside the booth… where MGK was taking back the rival spirit ... total WTEff?

Atlanta Hawks forward Mike Scott took a felony bullet during a recorded interrogation -- admitting all the drugs cops found in his car were his ... so his kid brother wouldn't get in trouble.

TMZ Sports obtained the video of Banks County Sheriff's deputies questioning Scott about the July 30 traffic stop. As we reported, Scott's 20-year-old bro, Antonn, was driving when deputies pulled him over for speeding. They eventually found more than an ounce of weed and 10 grams of Molly in the vehicle.

In the video, a slumped over Scott explains why Antonn didn't immediately pull over -- cops chased him for 2 miles -- and he's oddly calm as he takes full responsibility for the stash of drugs. Scott 's biggest concern was whether his arrest would be "a public thing." The deputy gave him a reality check ... gently.

A Fox News contributor has invoked the Elton John Defense in Lindsay and Dina Lohan's defamation lawsuit, claiming even the Rocket Man thinks Dina is an enabler.

Lindsay and Dina filed suit because back in 2014 some guests on an FNC panel said the mother/daughter had done coke together, Lindsay was an addict, and Dina an enabler.

New legal docs cite Elton, who once said of Lindsay, "Get rid of the people who are around you, and by that I mean her family, too. They are enablers."

The docs actually reference 48 stories, with similar comments from Liv Tyler's mom, a Bev Hills psychiatrist, Aaron Carter, the New York Times and Daily News, and ... of course ... Lindsay's own father, Michael Lohan.

Fox News previously fought back against the lawsuit by saying Lindsay Lohan's drug use has long ago been established as fact ... even by Lindsay herself.

One of Michael Jackson's doctors had a famous guest on his yacht Tuesday -- Michael's son, Prince Jackson -- and they were sharing a hand-rolled "cigarette" and passing it around to various people on board.

The doctor -- Alex Farshchian -- had a complicated relationship with Michael. According to a letter he wrote to Michael -- seized by the Santa Barbara Sheriff's Dept. in MJ's molestation trial -- the doctor was trying to get Michael off Demerol and onto a synthetic, less addictive substitute for the drug.

That's why the photos are so interesting ... the doctor who was treating Michael Jackson in the throes of his Demerol addiction was smoking something with MJ's 18-year-old son.

Dr. Farshchian tells TMZ they were smoking tobacco on the yacht in Miami. It's odd that a tobacco cigarette was passed around to at least three people.

Wes Scantlin just can't seem to figure out the whole obey the law thing ... the Puddle of Mudd singer was busted for DUI for the second time in under a month.

Law enforcement sources tell us Wes was pulled over for speeding early Wednesday morning in South Dakota. We're told cops determined he was driving under the influence, but it's unclear if he failed a breathalyzer test or field sobriety testing ... or both.

Ever the overachiever, Scantlin was also charged with pot possession.

TMZ broke the story ... Wes was busted in July for DWI in Minnesota after he blew 4x the legal limit.

Scantlin is set to perform in SD tonight after getting released on $500 bail.

Kim Richards spent the night in jail after getting arrested for shoplifting Sunday night ... TMZ has confirmed.

The former 'Real Housewife' was booked into jail around 7:30 PM after store security called LAPD to a Target in the Valley. Law enforcement tells us a security guard nabbed her for allegedly scooping up a "bunch of items" worth more than $600.

Richards got out of the pokey on Monday afternoon. Her bail was $5,000. It's unclear if she was under the influence at the time of this latest arrest. She was also busted in April for allegedly making a drunken scene at the Beverly Hills hotel.

That arrested led to a rehab stint that just ended a few weeks ago.

As TMZ first reported, Kim's kinda on her own now ... since sister Kyle Richards and her husband are trying the tough love route after Kim went on a bender at her daughter's wedding.

1:55 PM PST -- A rep for Dennis Rodman tells TMZ, Dennis had no intention of getting behind the wheel and his girlfriend drove to and from the carwash.

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman was wasted at a carwash Sunday morning in the O.C. ... at least according to several eyewitnesses, and it was bad enough that the cops were called ... TMZ Sports has learned.

It happened at a Costa Mesa car wash ... several people came in close contact with him -- including employees -- say he smelled of alcohol and was acting weird. We're told he walked up to a man and put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Hey white guy." And they say he walked up to several girls, telling them they were hot and they should check out his boat in Newport.

Atlanta Hawks player Mike Scott ADMITTED the marijuana and MDMA found during his arrest on Thursday belonged to him ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ Sports.

As we previously reported, Scott was a passenger in a car that cops say led officers on a high speed chase in Georgia ... and when the car was pulled over, officers say they found 35.2 grams of weed and 10.9 grams of molly.

The driver of the car was Scott's 20-year-old younger brother -- but when the two were asked about the drugs, Mike insisted that they were all his ... and his lil bro had no idea they were in the car.

"[Scott] stated that his brother was unaware of the drugs and that he takes full responsibility for the drugs."

Atlanta Hawks forward Mike Scott was arrested in Georgia on Thursday -- after cops say he was a passenger in a high speed chase ... in a car that was packed with drugs.

Cops say they tried to pull over a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe for a routine traffic stop -- but the car zipped away on the Interstate -- reaching speeds up to 98 miles per hour!!!

The car eventually stopped after a 2 mile chase -- and when they searched the car, they found more than an ounce of weed and 10 grams of MDMA ... aka Molly.

Cops say the men admitted to having the drugs in the car.

The driver was charged with fleeing from cops, attempting to elude officers, following too closely and drug possession.

Scott was charged with felony marijuana possession and possession of a schedule 1 drug.
