Johnny Manziel's Agent Get Treatment Or You're Fired

Published | Updated

Johnny Manziel has gotten an ultimatum from his agent -- go to rehab ... or find a new agent.

After TMZ Sports broke the story that Manziel was the passenger in an alleged hit-and-run incident over the weekend, Manziel's agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter he's laid down the gauntlet with the QB.

"I have terminated the standard representation with Johnny Manziel in the hopes of helping him get the treatment I believe he needs," Rosenhaus said.

"I have informed him that if he takes the immediate steps I have outlined for him that I will rescind the termination and continue to represent him. Otherwise the termination will become permanent."

"There is a five-day window for me to rescind the termination. I’m hoping he takes the necessary steps to get his life back on track."

Manziel was dropped by his previous agent Erik Burkhardt for similar reasons. Manziel did get treatment last year for an unspecified issue -- but later insisted he did NOT have a drinking problem.

Disney Star Debby Ryan Arrested for Drunk Driving

Published | Updated

1:45 PM PT -- Debby just took to Twitter about her arrest, saying, "Over the last few days I have had the chance to think about my actions, and I wish I had used better judgement. I recognize that I am a role model and have always worked hard to set a good example for my millions of fans. I am so sorry to disappoint everyone."

Debby Ryan, one of Disney's biggest stars, was arrested for felony drunk driving ... TMZ has learned.

The star of "Jessie" was driving in L.A. last week at around 11 PM when she made a left in her 2016 Audi and slammed into a Mercedes. Our law enforcement sources say the driver claimed injury.

Cops came, gave the 22-year-old actress a field sobriety test and promptly arrested her for felony DUI. It's standard operating procedure for cops to arrest for a felony when there's injury.

Debby got a break ... authorities decided to bump it down to a misdemeanor because the injury was minor and she blew a .11 ... not that much over the .08 legal limit.

Debby -- who's out on $100k bail -- has been charged with 2 criminal offenses ... driving under the influence and driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher.

We reached out to her reps ... so far no word back.

Montee Ball Arrested Dude, You Can't Booze!

Published | Updated

Ex-NFL running back Montee Ball was arrested near a Wisconsin bar this weekend -- after cops say the 25-year-old violated the terms of his bail ... by boozin'.

FYI -- Ball was out on bail stemming from a previous domestic violence case in which he's accused of attacking a former girlfriend in 2014. One of the terms of his bail was to stay out of bars, taverns and liquor stores ... and completely REFRAIN from drinking alcohol.

So, when cops were called to the 841 Brewhouse bar on Saturday night -- and found Ball nearby reeking of booze -- they immediately arrested him.

Ball denied he had been drinking and refused to submit to a breathalyzer test. Cops did take a blood sample to be tested. So far, no word on the results.

Ball was eventually released from jail -- and actually made it to court today for a hearing in the 2014 domestic violence case. Ball plead not guilty to felony strangulation, battery and 2 counts of misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

Weedmaps Wages War on Competing Pot Co. You're Just a Clone, Dude

Published | Updated

Weedmaps -- a map locator for pot dispensaries -- wants some serious green from a rival potter.

Weedmaps claims a company called Where's Weed has gained access to its client info, tricking dispensaries into coughing up login info that would allow Where's Weed to sync up the pot menus.

For you non potheads, that means Where's Weed would get a glimpse into the services Weedmaps provides and then try to steal business.

What's more, Weedmaps believes the logo Where's Weed is using confuses customers ... especially those under the influence.

WM claims it's lost more than $5k in the last 12 months ... roughly a lb of high quality cheebah.

We reached out to Where's Weed ... so far no word back.

Khloe Kardashian I Can't Fix Lamar ... So I'm Done

Published | Updated

Khloe Kardashian sounds like she has undergone two years of therapy ... she is throwing in the towel in her relationship with Lamar Odom, realizing she can not save someone who does not want to be helped.

Khloe just posted an emotional, thoughtful manifesto on her failed efforts to help a husband mired in problems. She wrote, "We have to learn to stop taking on peoples problems as if they are our own. Loving people does not mean we have to carry their burdens and confusions on our back."

Khloe clearly realizes she can not be Lamar's savior and in fact even attempting that courts disaster. She says, "You forcing your beliefs and dreams down ones throat is only going to cause resentment and possibly manifest deeper issues. Possibly to the point of no return."

As you know, Khloe dropped her divorce after Lamar nearly died at a Nevada brothel, OD'ing on cocaine. It seems the last straw was last week when Lamar was caught drinking in a San Fernando Valley bar.

As we previously reported, Khloe put divorce back on the table after she heard Lamar was drinking again.

Khloe seems to think Lamar may be a hopeless case, writing, "Don't lose yourself by trying to fix what's meant to stay broken."

NFL's Willie Gault Training Suspended Para-Athlete ... For Return To Competition

Published | Updated

NFL legend Willie Gault -- one of the fastest men in NFL history -- is getting back on the track to help a suspended world class Para-athlete make a triumphant return to Track & Field.

TMZ Sports has learned Gault is training Blake Leeper ... a Paralympic star who in February was slapped with a 1-year suspension from USADA stemming from a positive cocaine test in 2015.

We talked to Willie during a training session with Blake ... and he told us he took the gig 'cause he thinks Leeper deserves a second chance to chase that gold medal.

"He's a really good kid," Gault said, adding, "He made a mistake, he had a problem."

Gault ... who still competes in track events himself at age 55 ... maintains since Leeper tested positive for cocaine -- not a performance enhancing drug -- the suspension was too harsh.

"It just doesn't make sense."

We also spoke with 26-year-old Leeper ... who told our guy he's determined to live a clean life, and has actually taken a vow of sobriety.

"I'm living a complete clean life ... it's about being the 24 hour athlete on and off the track."

Blackhawks Sued Drunk Fan + Goal = Disaster

Published | Updated

Question: How drunk is too drunk at a hockey game?

Answer: When you sloppily fall out of your seat and crush the guy in front of you ... this according to a new lawsuit.

A guy named John Cooke is suing the Chicago Blackhawks claiming he was enjoying the game at the United Center on May 23rd ... until some drunk jerk sitting behind him got so hammered, he couldn't stand up straight.

The fan says people complained about the drunkard to security and arena staff -- but no one did anything.

Problem is ... when the Blackhawks scored a goal in the 1st period, the drunk fan lost his balance and fell down 2 rows, allegedly crushing Cooke in the process.

Cooke says he suffered injuries in the drunken disaster -- and he's suing the team and the United Center claiming the guy should have been kicked out long before he had a chance to fall on people.

Cooke is suing for unspecified damages. So far no comment from the Blackhawks or the United Center.
