Drugs & Alcohol

A video of late Toronto mayor Rob Ford smoking crack has just been released to the public -- 5 months after he passed away from cancer.

In the video, shot in Feb. 2013, Ford hits a crack pipe while a friend trashes current Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, who was elected in 2015.

The friend says, "I'd like to get that f***ing Justin Trudeau and shove my foot as far up his ass because I'm sure it would go real far."

Ford laughs and says, "He's a fat dick."

Ford also says he's mad about the misconception that he's a right wing radical.

Important to note Ford doesn't realize he's being recorded until the very end of the video.

The video was used as an exhibit in the extortion trial of Rob's friend, Sandro Lisi ... who was charged with trying to extort a gang member to get the clip.

The court had ordered the video to stay private while the case was underway -- but on Thursday, the extortion charge against Lisi was dropped and the video was made public.

Ford admitted to smoking crack during his time as mayor -- though he denied he was an addict.

Liam Hemsworth needs a better handle of things if he's gonna booze hard.

Liam dropped an entire case of beer Wednesday as he left a Malibu store.

Hey ... at least he's got good beer taste.

A bunch of kids hit the bottle hard Tuesday night at a Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa concert ... sending 11 of 'em to the hospital.

Snoop and Wiz's The High Road Tour at Nikon Jones Amphitheater in Wantagh, NY was the place to be for big drinkers ... and 25 of the 35 people treated for alcohol poisoning were underage ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We're told an 18-year-old was so wasted he fell face first, busting his mouth and nose.

We're told the concert was severely understaffed with security ... 16 cops were monitoring the 14,000 concertgoers who got the party started during a tailgate ... hours before Wiz and Snoop took the stage.

This all comes on the heels of 40 injured at Friday's concert when a railing collapsed.

The biological mother of Team USA gymnast Simone Biles says she's clean, sober and has a loving relationship with her daughter ... and is sick of being painted as an addict.

Simone's story is pretty well-known ... she was put in foster care when she was 2 because her mother struggled with substance abuse. Simone was eventually adopted by her grandparents.

TMZ Sports spoke with Shanon Biles who says she's been sober since 2007 -- and is proud of the fact she reestablished her relationship with Simone.

Shanon says she does have a beef with her father -- saying he was insensitive about the way he described her battle with addiction during an interview with NBC.

"He could have been more classy about it."

As for Simone, Shanon says she's incredibly proud of her daughter and has supported her for years -- in fact, she showed us a pic of the two of them with Gabby Douglas back in 2014.

"I just want to say I love you Simone ... I'm so proud of you! Go Team USA and I'll talk to you and see you when I can!"

A-Rod is a PED cheater who'd sully the Hall Of Fame with his inclusion ... so claims former MLB superstar Kenny Lofton, who says if he had his way, Rodriguez would NEVER be enshrined in Cooperstown.

We got Kenny out at LAX and asked the 6-time All-Star the question everyone's been asking since the Yankees announced Rodriguez was being released later this week.

Any chance ... even an outside one, he makes the Hall of Fame?

You know the issues ... Alex was busted for PEDs twice -- a stat that some baseball purists believe puts him on the Hall's persona non grata list next to Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds.

Kenny is definitely in that camp ... absolutely EVISCERATING A-Rod to our camera guy, saying flatly, "You can't put a cheater in. Once you put one in, you got to put them all in."

Future hosted the official Summer '16 After Party at ACES New York Thursday night ... and he got LIT in the VIP section.

Future was seen throwing around handfuls of cash, and we're told he bought 12 bottles of Ace of Spades champagne -- those are a grand each -- and spent $30k overall.

To make things even more tasty ... Pastry Chef Nerwan Khalife provided 6 dozen cupcakes for the VIP that were loaded with Hennessy and topped with pics of Future and Drake.

It was a packed house for Future, who was there for a couple hours until closing time. Young Thug also rolled through.

After-parties are the best parties.

The guys from Florida Georgia Line are throwing the ultimate tailgate party Thursday, complete with tons of free booze.

It's all to kick off the launch of FGL's new Old Camp Peach Pecan Whiskey. We're told the folks at Old Camp are rolling in 24 cases for a VIP pregame at the group's New Jersey concert.

Sorry fans, it's not open to the public -- they don't have THAT much liquor ... the tailgate is strictly for Brian and Tyler's close friends and entourage.

Brian tells us ... "It's a ritual we've had since our first shows, toasting and celebrating with our camp before taking the stage."

Fireball whiskey, you're on notice -- FGL's pregame is gonna be a peach.

A national smoothie chain wants athletes everywhere to know they are completely and 100% PED FREE ... this after an NCAA star publicly wondered whether or not the joint was safe.

It all started when Brad Kaaya -- the Miami Hurricanes QB projected as a top pick in next year's draft -- questioned whether the supplements at Smoothie King were okay by NCAA PED testing standards.

Kaaya was obviously trying to make a point about the testing ... but even still, a rep from Smoothie King (800 stores nationwide) was quick to tell TMZ Sports the athletes have ZERO TO FEAR.

"Our proprietary Gladiator Protein, which is available in smoothies and in retail, is free from banned substances and perfectly safe for all athletes."

Want iron clad proof? The company says their products have already been tested ... by the NBA ... as part of a deal to get naming rights for Smoothie King Center ... where the New Orleans Pelicans play.

"Our partnership with the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans requires that we meet the NBA’s rigorous standards for being athlete-friendly, and includes annual testing of all our ingredients."

The widow of original "Cocaine Cowboy" Jon Roberts is getting double-crossed in a deal Jon made to cash in on his life story ... according to the lawsuit she just filed.

Andrea Noemi Roberts says Jon struck the deal with financial adviser Daniel Merandi and his company, M & M Financial -- Jon would get 50 percent from any TV or movie projects related to his 2011 memoir, "American Desperado." Jon died shortly after the book came out, but Andrea says she inherited the deal with Merandi.

Andrea's fighting for every dollar, and with good reason. Jon's book has been linked to a Hollywood project with Mark Wahlberg, Peter Berg and Michael Bay attached ... and it's already been used to make a Telemundo documentary. She's suing to get the half she's due now, plus anything in the future.

Jon was a notorious player in Miami coke smuggling during the '80s -- as told in the award winning doc "Cocaine Cowboys."

President Obama is now officially the hero of Demaryius Thomas' family after cutting the wide receiver's grandmother a huge break on her life sentence.

Minnie Pearl Thomas is one of the 214 prisoners who got their prison sentences commuted by the Prez on Wednesday. Minnie got sentenced to life in prison in 2000 for running a cocaine distribution ring, but now she's set to be released Dec. 1 ... thanks to Obama.

Demaryius said this "Couldn't be a better day" ... as he gave the President a shout-out for giving families like his "second chances."

Abby Wambach says she's been "totally sober" since her DUI arrest in April -- telling TMZ Sports she's learned from her mistake and doesn't plan to repeat it.

As we previously reported, the Team USA soccer legend blew a .13 during her April 2nd arrest in Portland -- and later pled guilty to driving under the influence of intoxicants.

She immediately took responsibility for the incident -- and vowed to be a better role model.

Well, we got Abby at LAX -- and she essentially told us the DUI was a teachable moment ... saying, "You live and you learn."

As for the complete sobriety -- the judge will be very happy to hear that ... since he asked her to abstain from booze while she's in her 1 year court-ordered diversion program.

Luke Rockhold says the UFC needs to do something drastic to end the cheating -- telling TMZ Sports, "I'm just tired of talking about it over and over again and nothing happens."

Rockhold says people have short memories when it comes to cheating in MMA -- and said Anderson Silva is the perfect example.

"Everyone is gonna beat down Jon Jones ... and they're gonna cheer Anderson Silva after coming back from testing positive."

FYI, Silva received a 1 year suspension last year after testing positive for a PED at UFC 183.

So, what's the solution?

"They need to implement the full 2 year ban at least. 4 years would really scare a person because it would take away a career."

Chris Pratt can officially do it all, he just crossed the Electric Slide and Cupid Shuffle off his list of talents.

Some lucky fans were surprised Thursday night when Chris showed up to the sports bar at Clearwater Casino in Suquamish, Washington -- population just over 4,000.

Sources tell us he was at the bar with his parents, taking pictures and interacting with fans well past midnight. He grew up in the area, and clearly felt right at home since we're told he tore up the dance floor during the Electric Slide AND the Cupid Shuffle!

As you might have figured from that last part -- we're told he was throwing back beers too.

You know you wanna party with Chris.

The UFC is cracking down on PED usage in a way boxing DESPERATELY needs ... that's according to former boxing World Champ Paulie Malignaggi ... who says it's HIS sport that needs a scrubbing.

We got Paulie -- the former junior welterweight and welterweight champ of the world -- in NY training for his big Showtime PPV fight against Gabriel Bracero on Saturday and asked him about recent drug scandals in combat sports.

A fair share of those have gone down in the UFC ... where high-profile guys, like Brock Lesnar and Jon Jones, have been popped just recently for doping.

Paulie's been a vocal critic of PED use in boxing for a long time ... but given recent history it's still interesting to hear him say that it's HIS sport ... and not the UFC ... that has the real problem.

When Tori Spelling lands a guest spot on a show about a bar ... she really gets into character.

Tori was seen looking hammered Thursday night leaving the Abbey -- where we're told she was shooting a scene for the E! new reality show based on one of L.A.'s hottest gay venues.

Aldon Smith has entered a treatment center ... multiple sources connected to the NFL star confirm to TMZ Sports.
