'90s rapper MC Supreme was killed on a treacherous stretch of highway because Malibu and California repeatedly drop the ball on safety measures, according to his daughter's wrongful death lawsuit.

Yahdiya Coleman just filed against the city, the state, and Phillip Torres -- the driver who slammed into Supreme's car while he was parked on the Pacific Coast Highway. In the suit, she blasts the city for failing to install warning signs, lights or guardrails in the area.

Supreme was killed back in June ... not far from the part of PCH where Caitlyn Jenner had a fatal car crash. Investigators blamed Jenner's crash on inattentiveness, and Coleman thinks that was a factor in her father's death too. She also alleges Torres was drunk or high.

Several Malibu locals, including Rob Lowe, echoed Coleman's concerns after Supreme's death -- with Lowe even blasting the city on Twitter.

Justin Bieber's gonna be your ultimate wingman -- hooking you up with a ride, hitting the club and doing shots with you ... if you're really lucky.

Bieber’s teaming up with Lyft for “Bieber Mode” -- a week-long feature where he might show up in a requested car anywhere in the country, starting Thursday.

We've learned, Justin warmed up for his Lyft duties last month with a pick-up in Hermosa Beach, CA.

Bieber chatted up the passengers, one of whom turned out to be a local DJ. Justin kept the party going by showing up at the guy's gig later that night. He even got on the mic, and performed an impromptu rendition of "What Do You Mean?" ... in between shots of tequila.

Definitely beats a cab.

Ex-NBA player Glen Rice Jr. crutched into an Atlanta courtroom Tuesday -- still reeling from the gunshot he took to the leg during a violent altercation 2 weeks ago ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Rice Jr. is facing felony marijuana possession and a misdemeanor gun charge stemming from the October 25th incident ... in which he was arrested following a shooting at a restaurant owned by rapper T.I.

As we previously reported, Rice Jr. was busted as he tried to leave the scene -- cops say he had 240 grams of weed, a bunch of cash ... and was bleeding out of his left leg.

Rice was not required to attend the hearing today -- but showed up anyway, probably to try to curry favor with the judge.

Glen didn't say much during the hearing, captured on video by WAGA Fox 5, but did attempt to stand up.

If convicted, Rice Jr. faces up to 11 years in prison.

Steve Austin isn't taking too kindly to Goldberg's suggestion that his famous beer chug wrestling celebration was a sham -- telling TMZ Sports straight up, "[Goldberg] is full of s**t."

Goldberg seemed pretty serious when he called shenanigans on Austin last week -- telling us he's 100% certain Stone Cold wouldn't really consume the brew.

But Austin says that's a load of horse crap -- mostly.

Steve admits he didn't drink ALL of the beer ... but he took down about 50% of every can -- and he's got a pretty good explanation.

Long story short ... Austin says Goldberg is his boy, but they're gonna have some words.

A judge is already ordering Khloe Kardashian's best friend, Malika Haqq, to straighten up and get professional help after last month's DUI arrest.

TMZ has learned ... Malika was charged last week with 2 misdemeanors -- driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or above. At a court hearing, the judge ordered her to start attending 2 AA meetings a week during the lead up to her arraignment next week.

Donovan McNabb was just sentenced to 18 days in jail ... after pleading GUILTY to DUI in his June 28th arrest in Arizona ... TMZ Sports has learned.

NY Yankees star CC Sabathia says he desperately tried to cover up his alcoholism for years -- boozing hard in secret hotel binges -- until finally realizing he needed to address the problem.

"In 2012, I kind of came to the realization I was an alcoholic," Sabathia said on ABC's "Good Morning America" ... "and I was kind of battling it without any help."

"I would go a couple, you know, two, three months at a time sober, and then I would just relapse, and, you know, go on these weekends when I thought nobody was paying attention, and I would get in a hotel room and drink out of the minibar, pretty much everything."

Sabathia says he feels relief now that everyone knows about his issue -- "I can just, you know, start the healing process and take steps forward to get myself better."

The 35-year-old recently completed a stint in rehab -- and says he's proud of the support he's received from Yankees stars like Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez ... as well as stars from other teams.

"Torii Hunter, Dave ... 'Big Papi's' been calling me a lot. And, you know, I got to thank those guys. I'm truly blessed to be able to have friends like that."

Diddy's pals know him well ... they threw the mogul a surprise 46th birthday party Wednesday night and, in true Diddy fashion, plugged the hell out of the new apple-flavored booze he just launched.

Naomi Campbell, LA Reid and Andre Harrell threw the bday bash at Butter in NYC ... and Chris Rock, Ne-Yo, Trey Songz, Tyson Beckford and Maxwell all made the guest list.

The apple theme trickled into the decorations and the desert table, which hilariously spelled out ALL of Diddy's nicknames -- IN HOT APPLE PIES!!!

Rich Homie Quan got his Pablo Escobar tattoo out of respect for the late drug lord's business sense ... not because he happened to ruthlessly kill people while making his billions.

Quan set the record straight while hanging with celeb jeweler AD Killa Ink -- telling us the good Escobar did for Colombia outweighs the bad ... as in the countless casualties of his drug operation.

He points out Escobar pulled in $60 mil in ONE day, so he deserves props and a place on Quan's arm. Watch his full explanation. Ends justify the means?

Metta World Peace says he and Kobe Bryant both tried to save Lamar Odom from going down a dark path ... and were FURIOUS when they learned he overdosed in a Nevada brothel.

Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar will live forever on Rich Homie Quan's arm ... 'cause he just got a giant tattoo to honor him.

"Narcos" is a great show, but this is a bit much. At least RHQ didn't seem to be feeling an ounce of pain.

Chris Brown's friends and family are extremely worried about him, because they think he's addicted to sizzurp.

The latest evidence is this picture of Chris and some friends taken over the weekend at an L.A. pumpkin patch where Chris took his daughter, Royalty, to buy a pumpkin. You see Chris sitting on a bale of hay with a double-stacked red cup at his feet. Right behind him there's another double cup.

Chris' friends and family are worried for several reasons. The problem has been getting worse over the last few weeks. They say he's drinking sizzurp around Royalty and they're worried he'll lose custody.

TMZ broke the story, during Chris' custody battle he tested positive for codeine, but the judge gave him a pass because Chris had a prescription.

This video shows Chris at a birthday party for Tyga's son a few weeks ago, and you see him drinking from a double cup while riding a bike. You also see a guy carrying a bottle of codeine and soda, and it appears they're mixing it in the parking lot ... in broad daylight, at a kid's party.

Chris isn't buying it, and says it's "bulls***" that anyone around him is concerned.

Big week for Arizona Cardinals lineman Frostee Rucker -- who is set to own 1 of only TEN legalized pot farms in Ohio ... IF voters move to legalize weed during a statewide election tomorrow!!!

Rucker teamed up with NBA Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson to co-own one of the ten approved farms that would grow all of the state's legal pot. Nick Lachey owns another one of the farms.

If the vote passes, Rucker stands to make a fortune ... but the 32-year-old tells TMZ Sports it's not about the money.

"This is not a shot to get rich," Rucker says ... "It's a movement to help the infrastructure of Ohio."

If the vote passes, Rucker says the legal weed industry will create thousands of jobs and save the state FORTUNE in money used to prosecute weed crimes.

As for the NFL, Rucker says the league has always told the players to think about life after football -- and says this seemed like a perfect (and legal) investment.

Rucker says his agent did reach out to his team and told them about his business -- but says it in NO WAY affects his play on the field.

"When I play football, I focus purely on that. I dedicate myself to my day job."

When asked if he's getting support from teammates or other players in the league, Rucker says the guys don't really talk about it ... "It's a non-issue."

Lamar Odom has made a shocking turnaround ... his kidneys have improved so much he'll be off 6 hours of daily dialysis and he won't need a kidney transplant ... TMZ has learned.

We're told the big hurdle for days has been Lamar's kidneys and they've responded so well in the last 48 hours they've moved him from the ICU where he was getting dialysis in a private room.

Doctors told Lamar his kidney problems were life-threatening, and they told him they're surprised at the dramatic improvement.

Lamar is on the floor where hospital staff performs physical therapy. We're told Lamar's motor skills are impaired from the strokes, and he'll undergo increasingly rigorous therapy to regain function.

We're told the Kardashians are happy about the news, with one big caveat ... Lamar's now able to make his own decisions, and he hasn't necessarily chosen wisely during the last few months.

TMZ Sports has obtained the dramatic 911 call made after Glen Rice Jr. was shot Sunday -- in which the caller says he personally witnessed Rice try to ditch a handgun while "leaking" blood.

The caller is VERY descriptive -- saying he definitely heard gunfire and then saw the ex-NBA player frantically try to flag down a friend while screaming, "They just shot me."

As we previously reported, Rice was shot outside T.I.'s restaurant in Atlanta -- and according to the caller, he was "soaked" in blood which was spewing from his upper left thigh.

At one point, the caller becomes afraid for his own safety -- and finally decides to leave the scene.

A short time later, cops pulled over the Porsche that picked up Rice -- and he was arrested for weed possession and reckless conduct.

Lamar Odom could be staring down criminal charges soon -- his case is about to be turned over to the D.A., and the Sheriff suggests he should be prosecuted for felony drug use.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the Nye County Sheriff's Department will send Lamar's blood test to the District Attorney on Tuesday. The felony charge would be for using cocaine while at the Love Ranch South.
