Drugs & Alcohol

Ty Lawson may not have a long season ... he just pled guilty to charges stemming from his January drunk driving arrest.

The Rockets point guard was arrested in January after he was pulled over by police in Denver. The cops smelled alcohol and said he had slurred speech ... Ty ultimately failed his field sobriety test.

Ty pled guilty to driving while ability impaired, as well as failure to drive in a single lane. He faces up to 180 days in jail.

The Denver incident is not his only arrest this year. He was pulled over and arrested this summer in LA and went to rehab afterwards. He's due in court next week for that charge.

Kyle Richards does not see any looming danger now that her sister Kim is back on 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,' despite the fact that there's booze on the set.

Justin Timberlake was on his game -- his country game, his drinking game, and his trash talking game -- as he walked out of a Chris Stapleton concert in L.A. ... and the video is HILARIOUS!

Justin went to see his "Tennessee Whiskey" pal play the El Rey Theater Monday night, and it sounds like JT threw down a few during the show.

It's hysterical ... as photogs scramble to get shots of Justin leaving, he scolds them for being asleep at the wheel.

Dr. Oz believes Charlie Sheen is healthier HIV positive than he ever was when boozing and abusing hardcore drugs like cocaine.

We got Oz Tuesday after his show, where one of Charlie's doctors and unprotected sexual partners yakked it up with him.

Oz thinks the chances of contracting HIV from Charlie Sheen are about the same as someone getting struck by a bolt of lighting.

Lamar Odom is now in the crosshairs of prosecutors who may file cocaine possession charges against him, but if they do, it could be a first for the D.A., which raises troubling questions.

Nye County D.A. Angela Bello says her office is considering filing criminal charges against Lamar -- either possession of coke or being under the influence of a controlled substance.

We've done some checking, and we were unable to find a single case in Nye County where someone OD'd, landed in the hospital, and was prosecuted for drug possession.

An official from the Nye County Sheriff's office tells us they have definitely referred such cases to the D.A., but the official does not know of any cases that have actually been prosecuted.

We contacted the D.A. and asked if they ever prosecuted someone who ended up in the hospital after OD'ing on drugs, but we could find none.

What's particularly troublesome with Lamar ... as we reported, he's unable to walk, can barely speak and has substantially impaired cognitive function. He may not even be competent to stand trial.

Justin Bieber got all kinds of crazy celebrating his album release Thursday night -- so crazy, he downed a whole bottle ... of beer.

Check out this video of Justin leaving the Man Cave Sports Bar -- first, he responded to country star John Rich's rant against him. But then some fans ask him how much he had to drink in the bar.

Bieber was straight up about his boozing ... if you can call it that.

Earlier this week, Justin was partying at 1 OAK for French Montana's birthday and we got some video of him having just ONE bottle again. Of course, that one was Ciroc, but he only sipped.

Scott Disick is a changed man thanks to rehab, and the Kardashians are loving it ... so much so, Kourtney has NOT completely closed the door on a reconciliation.

We're told Scott spent time with his kids and some of the Kardashians Wednesday night, and seemed like "a whole new him." Our source says he's been "amazing" since checking into rehab last month, and he gets a day off here and there to see his kids.

And get this, Kourtney might still be open to patching things up. We're told it would take a LONG time for Scott to prove himself again, but it's not officially over.

Shortly before he met up with the fam, Disick was looking healthy and refreshed around Malibu.

Dog the Bounty Hunter is tapping out on tracking El Chapo ... despite the $5 million bounty on the notorious drug lord's head, and no price tag is going to change his mind.

Dog says he learned a big lesson the last time he went after a fugitive who was down Mexico way -- 'cause he ended up behind bars!

Ed Sheeran managed to squeeze the entire college experience into one awesome and boozy night.

Sheeran -- who dropped out of school at 16 -- was spotted all over the college town of Chapel Hill, NC Tuesday night. He was joined by rumored GF, Cherry Seaborn, who attends Duke.

Check out the video ... Ed's adorably giddy over learning (and eventually mastering) the art of beer pong at a Duke party.

French Montana celebrated his bday Tuesday night in the best way possible ... with all of his super famous friends.

French, who turned 31 on Monday, was at 1 OAK in L.A. joined by the likes of Justin Bieber, Amber Rose, Meek Mill, Wiz Khalifa, Keyshia Cole and Chris Brown.

We don't know if there was cake, but we hope they kept it French when it came time to sing "Happy Birthday" ... "Haaaaaaaaaaah!!"

'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.
