Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Temporary Custody Deal Struck Drug Testing, Therapy
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have agreed to a temporary custody deal that was laid down by the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services, and it involves therapists and random drug testing.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us, DCFS has made its recommendations and Brad and Angelina had 2 options ... agree or fight it out in court. We're told they both agreed with DCFS.
Here are the terms of the temporary agreement:
-- Angelina gets temporary physical custody of the 6 kids until Oct 20th.
-- Brad gets visitation, with strings attached. The initial visit is with a therapist present and the therapist then has the power to either allow Brad subsequent unmonitored visits or insist on being present whenever he's around the kids.
-- Brad is subject to random drug/alcohol testing. As we reported, Angelina believes Brad has issues with alcohol and weed. Our law enforcement sources say Brad's first test was negative for drugs and alcohol.
-- Brad and Angelina will each submit to individual counseling. In addition, Brad, Angelina and the kids will undergo family counseling together.
We're told Angelina agreed with recommendation because her focus is to "heal" her family and her children.
We're told the agreement will only last for another 3 weeks. At that point DCFS could impose new ground rules or possibly turn the matter over to the courts.

Josh Gordon Screened By TSA Last Night ... But No Drugs Found
A report that Cleveland Browns WR Josh Gordon and his posse were stopped by TSA at a Cleveland airport with a pound of weed is completely bogus ... this according to TSA sources.

But our TSA sources tell us, "The reports you're seeing are totally false."
One highly connected TSA source explains, "Gordon was screened by TSA last night (Thursday) without incident."
The source also says there has been no TSA trouble with Gordon recently. We also spoke with the Cleveland PD which also shot down the report.

Manny Pacquiao 'I Tried All Kinds of Drugs' ... Before I Became a Champ
Manny Pacquiao says he's no stranger to drug use -- admitting that he tried "all kinds of drugs" before he became a boxing champion.
Pacquiao was talking about Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte and his plan to crack down on drug dealers in his home country ... when he delved into his own history with drugs.
"I tried drugs ... many kinds of drugs, all kinds of drugs," Pacquiao reportedly said during an interview in his senate office in the Philippines.
He noted the drug use occurred "before I became a champion."
President Duterte's crackdown has reportedly led to the deaths of more than 3,000 people -- but Pacquiao says he fully supports it because Duterte was chosen by God to "discipline the people."
Police officials in the Philippines say 3,171 drug dealers and users have been killed -- two thirds of which occurred at the hands of unknown assailants. The other 1/3 were killed by police.
Brad Pitt Urine Test for DCFS Was Voluntary
Brad Pitt submitted to a drug and alcohol test early on during the investigation into allegations he abused his son ... but it was not something he was forced to do.
Sources close to investigators tell TMZ ... the test went down within a couple days of the alleged incident on the plane. We're told Pitt voluntarily provided a urine sample in an attempt to show he had nothing to hide, and to clear up any "exaggerations."
As we first reported ... both sides agree he drank heavily on the plane, but Angelina Jolie's people say it was after the alleged incident with Maddox -- Brad's camp says it was before.
Obviously, the test -- first reported "In Touch" -- wouldn't show when Pitt had been drinking, but we're told he wanted the test to blunt any claims he's abusing drugs or alcohol. DCFS did not require it for its investigation ... Pitt simply offered.
We're told the test results are not in yet.

Brad Pitt Conflict Over Confrontation with Son on Jet
Brad Pitt crossed a line he had never crossed before by lunging at his 15-year-old son on a private jet and making contact with him, but the details of precisely what happened are in conflict ... and frankly, murky.
TMZ broke the story ... the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services launched an investigation after getting an anonymous tip that Brad allegedly attacked his eldest son on a trip back from France.
Here's what's alleged -- Shortly after the plane took off, Brad and Angelina began arguing and Maddox jumped up to verbally defend his mom. We're told Brad then lunged at the boy and Angelina jumped in between them to block her husband. Brad connected in some fashion with his son.
Now here's what's in dispute:
-- Whether Brad and Angelina were arguing, or whether Maddox was acting up on the plane.
-- Whether Brad made contact with his son intentionally or inadvertently.
-- Whether Brad was drunk at the time. Although authorities were told Brad was drunk when the incident went down, we're told Angelina says he was sober at the time but got drunk later in the flight. Sources connected with Brad tell TMZ he was drunk at the time of the incident.
As we reported, Angelina wants sole physical custody of the kids. A source connected with Angelina says this is not about alcohol ... she would never leave Brad if it was just a substance abuse problem. The source says this is all about protecting their children.
Brad has denied there was any abuse, but sources connected with him acknowledge there was an incident on the jet.
And our sources say Brad has never acted aggressively toward his kids in the past -- other than verbally -- and Angelina felt the incident on the plane was a deal breaker.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt It's About Their Kids, NOT That Actress
Angelina Jolie did NOT file for divorce because of rumors Brad Pitt was reportedly involved with Marion Cotillard ... it's ALL about Brad and their 6 kids ... sources with intimate knowledge of the situation tell TMZ.

Jim Carrey My Prescription Alias Is Kosher ... Under the Law
Jim Carrey has a legal path out of at least part of the wrongful death lawsuit over his ex-GF, but his doctor might not be so lucky.
Sources close to Cathriona White's estranged husband, Mark Burton, tell us his legal team believes there are "serious questions relating to the conduct of Carrey's physician."
As we've reported, Cathriona OD'd on Ambien, Propranolol, and Percocet. In his wrongful death suit, Burton says all 3 drugs were found in pill bottles with the name Arthur King ... which he claims is an alias Jim used to get prescriptions.
We're told Burton's legal team is strongly considering reporting Carrey's doc to the Medical Board of California for violating laws prohibiting use of false info on prescriptions.
Jim's people aren't sweating it, telling us the meds were legally obtained using "routine practices." They add, most actors regularly use an alias to protect their privacy, and do so with "the knowledge of their doctors and insurers."
We checked, and the way the law is worded Jim looks to be in the clear.
His doctor could still be screwed though ... because under the law physicians can't "make a false statement in any prescription." In the past, doctors found in violation of prescribing meds under false names -- like Anna Nicole Smith's doctor -- have lost their license and faced criminal prosecution.
7:00 AM PT -- Burton's attorney Michael Avenatti tells us they firmly believe Carrey did violate the law, and there's legal precedent to back it up.

Boxing Champ Zab Judah Gave Fake Name After Car Crash ... Are You Drunk???
Former boxing superstar Zab Judah tried to lie after a Vegas car crash back in January -- claiming his name was "Michael Johnson" ... and the whole thing was caught on video.
The 38-year-old boxer allegedly smashed into another car at 7 AM on January 29th -- and the victim pulled out her phone to document the aftermath.
You can see Judah -- a former 4 time world champ -- in the driver's seat ... slurring his words as he's confronted by the other driver.
When the woman asks for his name, Judah says, "Michael Johnson."
The woman told Judah he "smacked the s*** out of me" and was responsible for the damage and her injuries.
She also told Judah she was calling the police because it was "obvious" he had been drinking. However, we've done some digging and can't find a record of Judah being arrested for DUI on that date.
Sources connected to the incident tell us Judah's insurance company settled with the woman ... and it was only then that the woman learned Judah's true identity.
We reached out to Judah's camp for comment. So far, no word back.

Jim Carrey Wrongful Death Lawsuit ... Shameless Shakedown
The estranged husband of Jim Carrey's ex-girlfriend -- who died of a drug OD -- is an opportunist who is trying to smear the actor to make a buck ... so claims Carrey's indignant lawyer.
Jim's attorney, legal pit bull Marty Singer, tells TMZ his client shares no blame in the death of Cathriona White, who died from a massive drug OD. As we reported, White's estranged husband, Mark Burton, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Carrey, claiming he gave White the Ambien, Percocet and Propranolol that killed her.
Singer calls BS on the allegation, telling us White "stole" Carrey's Rxs, adding his client NEVER gave White a single pill.
Carrey is making it clear he has NO intention of settling the suit, telling us ... "There are moments in life when you have to stand up and defend your honor against the evil in this world. I will not tolerate this heartless attempt to exploit me or the woman I loved."
He adds, "Cat's troubles were born long before I met her and sadly her tragic end was beyond anyone's control. I really hope someday soon people will stop trying to profit from this and let her rest in peace."
His attorney also insinuates White and Burton were in a sham marriage so she would not be deported back to Ireland. Singer says the 2 didn't even live together, so the notion he suffered a loss of companionship is absurd.
Singer calls the lawsuit "a money-grab scheme."
