Drugs & Alcohol

Lamar Odom lost it Sunday ... and the trigger was an episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

Sources at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South tell us, Lamar seemed normal during his stay until he got a call from someone about the show. Some of the women who were around Lamar say he became irate, complaining about the way he had just been portrayed on the show.

As for what was on the show ... Khloe got 2 calls from Lamar. When she got off the phone Kim criticized Khloe for being flirty with Lamar. In another clip, Lamar called Khloe to tell her that his good friend Jamie had died. When she got off the phone she worried Lamar might spin out of control. And in another scene Khloe fled a club after she heard Lamar was trying to get in.

We're told Lamar remained upset until he was found unconscious.

Up until getting the call, people at the Ranch say Lamar was "chill." There was no evidence he had been high on drugs or alcohol. We're told when he arrived Saturday, he ordered a single bottle of cognac and when he was found unconscious a third of the bottle was left.

As we reported, people at the Ranch say Lamar had been using an herbal substitute for Viagra. Someone at the Ranch who was around Lamar tells us he was popping 8 to 10 herbal substitutes for Viagra at a time. There are perils to the drug -- it can cause dangerously low blood pressure and it can restrict blood flow to vital organs.

Another source at the ranch says Lamar was taking the actual Viagra drug from a prescription bottle.

David Cassidy is trying to dodge jail time once again -- he entered a not guilty plea in the September hit-and-run crash he allegedly had on a Florida highway.

According to police docs ... Cassidy sideswiped a big rig, and then pulled over, but only to try to hide his license plate, then drove away. He was charged with leaving the scene, and for driving on a suspended license.

Matt Leinart is speaking out on Steve Sarkisian -- his QB coach during his days at USC -- asking people to support his friend because "he needs help."

Leinart went to Twitter and wrote, "Sark is a friend and he needs help. I ask everyone instead of the criticism show your support for him. This is much bigger than football!"

USC football coach Steve Sarkisian was "very emotional" and even crying before he was removed from the USC football facility on Sunday ... multiple sources connected to the incident tell TMZ Sports.

Our sources tell us ... Sark appeared intoxicated at the USC athletic facility on Sunday -- and at one point, he was sobbing in a corner. That's when staffers decided to get USC athletic director Pat Haden involved.

Haden says he spoke with Sarkisian on the phone and determined he was "not healthy" -- and ordered him to take a leave of absence.

Shia LaBeouf was arrested in Austin, Texas Thursday ... and witnesses say the actor was blitzed, out of control and disobeyed police.

Shia was taken to the Travis County Jail and booked for misdemeanor public intoxication.

It happened at around 7:45 PM CT outside a bar on 6th Street. A witness says Shia was either extremely drunk or high on drugs when he ran down the street and jaywalked in front of police. They warned him not to do it but he continued, acting bizarrely.

Cops subdued him and put him in cuffs.

Another witness tells us, before the arrest Shia and a woman tried walking into a bar but they were denied because they were too intoxicated. Shia began swearing up a storm and tried forcing himself into the bar but was blocked. Shia and the woman left and began walking.

Shia, who's been to rehab, has been dogged by substance abuse problems. He had a similar situation in NYC last year, where he was arrested after acting crazy at a Broadway play.

He's in town for the Austin City Limits music festival.

Now that he can't fight for the next 5 years, UFC superstar Nick Diaz decided to spend a weeknight at the Hollywood club scene ... where he told he's happy Cher has his back!

Diaz -- who was hit with a 5 year suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after testing positive for weed -- was leaving 1 OAK nightclub on the Sunset Strip Thursday night with a pretty thick unemployment beard.

So, we had to ask about Cher!

As we previously reported, tons of huge stars have expressed their outrage over Nick's punishment -- including Cher -- who's trying to rally people to force the NSAC to overturn the ban.

John Stamos will be charged with driving under the influence of GHB, the so-called date rape drug, TMZ has learned, but sources close to the actor say he was using the drug as a fitness supplement.

Stamos was arrested in June when cops spotted him driving erratically in Beverly Hills. Authorities say Stamos was so messed up they took him to the hospital. We're told testing revealed there was GHB in his system, along with another non-narcotic drug.

Our Stamos sources say the actor was taking the drug to "lean out body mass" as he prepared for his new TV show. The drug is used by bodybuilders for lean muscle, and for a level of sleep which helps muscles recover.

We're told the criminal case will be filed soon and the charging documents will outline the drugs.

Stamos went to rehab almost immediately after his arrest and completed his 30-day live-in treatment successfully.

Jim Carrey's on-and-off again girlfriend Cathriona White tried ending her life in 2012 and we're told a hateful message from her biological mother may have led to her suicide ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Our sources tell us, during their investigation they learned White attempted suicide after her father's death in 2012.

We're told White's friends told investigators on Cathriona's birthday -- just days before her suicide -- she received a hateful message from her estranged biological mother who called her a "failure."

Cathriona committed suicide on the 3rd anniversary of her father's death.

Our sources say her mother's attack, along with the somber anniversary and her breather with Jim, may have contributed to Cathriona's suicide. It appears she OD'd on drugs.

"Millionaire Matchmaker" client Michael Bernback, the guy accused of raping three women, says they all wanted it and one of the women even let him pee in her mouth.

Bernback says in legal docs, obtained by TMZ, he met all three women on sexual hook-up websites. He claims at least two of the women knew they'd be engaging in bondage and/or anal sex -- a totally different story than what his eight felony and three misdemeanor charges indicate.

During one encounter, Bernback says one of the women allowed herself to be tied up with various bondage devices and let Bernback "urinate into her mouth" in the shower.

According to the legal docs, the woman all admitted they advertised on sexual hook-up websites they were looking for sexual liaisons. The docs say at least 1 of the women told cops she knew there would be multiple women on hand for a sexual encounter.

Lorenzo Lamas hopes his son can pull through his legal troubles -- he got busted for theft at a Target -- but dad's hardly jumping through hoops to save A.J. Lamas' bacon.

We asked Lorenzo about A.J.'s theft, battery, and child endangerment arrest. He was also allegedly carrying a meth pipe. L.L. sounded concerned about his son, telling us ... "He's in a difficult spot. My heart and prayers go out to him."

But Lorenzo also hinted A.J. has burned him in the past -- "My family has been there for him on numerous occasions."

Watch the clip ... 2 words come to mind: tough love.

NY Yankees superstar CC Sabathia has just announced he's checking into rehab for issues with alcohol.

Here's video of Usain Bolt leading a tent full of drunken Germans in song at Oktoberfest this weekend in Munich ... where the Jamaican sprinter was crushing beers for the 3rd year in a row!!

Bolt LOOOVES Oktoberfest -- like super totally obsessed -- and this year, he upped his game by singing King of Leon's biggest hit "Sex On Fire" with the house band at the Schuetzen Tent.

When he wasn't singing, Bolt was spotted downing steins of brew with a whole bunch of hot chicks ... 'cause ... well ... he likes it.

Justin Bieber's famous pals are coming to his defense, saying the pop singer hasn't hopped off the sobriety train despite recent footage showing him smoking and boozing.

Riff Raff tells us he and Diplo were hanging with Justin just last week in Hollywood. Riff and Dip were working on music for Raff's upcoming LP, "Pink Panther." Riff Raff freely admits, he and Diplo were "f**** up," but Justin didn't touch anything -- weed, alcohol, nothing.

Riff Raff says after the session they hit the town to party and Justin was stone cold sober the whole time. The video shows Justin and Riff Raff in the car on the way to the clubs, and Biebs looks clear-headed.

Madonna's daughter let loose like her superstar mom in Detroit this week, chugging beers in the front row at Madge's concert -- and all we gotta say is we're jealous.

We're told 18-year-old Lourdes Leon showed up at Madonna's "Rebel Heart" show Thursday night with a group of her friends and sat down in the front row. It wasn't long after when Lourdes cracked open a cold one and slugged away.

While drinking at 18 is obviously against the law, we still gotta admit ... boozing front row at one of the biggest acts of all time is pretty sweet. Especially if it's your mom.

Jim Carrey's girlfriend -- who committed suicide by overdosing on drugs -- had 3 pill bottles next to her bed where she was found, and the pills were all prescribed to a fictitious male ... and law enforcement tells us it's an alias for Jim Carrey.

We're told Cathriona White had prescriptions for Ambien (sleep aid), Percocet (painkiller), and Propranolol (blood pressure/heart) next to the bed where she OD'd. All 3 meds were prescribed by the same doctor.

Law enforcement tells us they've confirmed the prescription was written for Jim Carrey using an alias. Fact is, lots of celebs use aliases for prescriptions for privacy reasons.

One source tells us a witness has said there's reason to believe Cathriona may have taken the meds from Jim's house, but that hasn't been confirmed.

We're told authorities would like to interview Jim.

Although authorities say White died of an overdose, they do not know which drugs killed her. Toxicology results should provide answers.

We're also told 5 people showed up at White's house and discovered the body. She called them saying she was distraught because Jim unexpectedly broke up with her on Sept. 24th. She was found 5 days later and left a suicide note addressed to Jim.

Akon is scoffing at the notion Justin Bieber chugged booze an very possibly smoke a joint onstage this week because of a dare.

As we reported, Justin chugged from a Hennessy bottle and grabbed a blunt during a performance with Rae Sremmurd in New Zealand. We're told Bieber claimed to have done it on a dare.

But Akon, who's friends with the Biebs, told us on his way out of Fleming's Steakhouse in Bev Hills, "dares" don't count for grown-ass men.
