Lamar Odom Memory of Dead Son Triggers Rehab

Published | Updated

Lamar Odom checked himself into rehab out of fear he'd go on a major bender as his deceased son's birthday approached ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Lamar's son, Jayden, was born Dec 15, 2005, but died the following June from SIDS. We're told his son's death was the primary reason he started doing hardcore drugs ... and he was keenly aware the birthday might push him over the edge again.

As we reported, our Lamar sources say he went to a San Diego area facility late last week.

We're told Lamar's also struggling with the fact his divorce from Khloe will be final on Saturday, and he didn't want to be tempted to use.

George Jung I Got Screwed By My Manager ... Manager Calls B.S.

Published | Updated

George Jung, the guy Johnny Depp played in "Blow," claims his own manager betrayed him by turning him in to cops for a parole violation ... but the manager tells a different story.

Sources close to the former cocaine smuggler tell TMZ ... Denis Rizzo convinced Jung it was cool for him to travel to San Diego for work by telling him his parole officer had approved. Our Jung sources say the P.O. never really did sign off.

We're told Jung thinks Rizzo pulled the ultimate rat move -- allegedly telling the P.O. to get Jung in trouble.

Rizzo denies any ratting, and in fact, says his own attorney advised it was fine for George to make the San Diego trip -- but George made the final decision to go.

As for why Rizzo would turn in his client, sources close to George claim it's because there's some bad blood there. According to Sacramento PD, Jung filed a police report in October claiming Rizzo forged his signature and tried to steal his money.

Rizzo says he's never been charged or convicted of forgery in his life, and all allegations against him are "baseless."

We're told Jung plans to bring up his manager's alleged dirty trick at his next court date -- but for now he's sitting in jail ... held without bail.

Rande Gerber and George Clooney just locked up their Boss of The Year awards with a booze-filled trip to Mexico for their Casamigos employees.

It wasn't all fun and games on the beach though. They also had to board the Casamigos yacht.

No, we don't know where you apply.

Lamar is getting treatment in the San Diego area, and made the decision to go on his own ... according to a source close to the former NBA star. We're told he's been there for 4 days, and will remain there for an extended stay.

He originally said he had been drinking at the W Hotel, but then changed his story and said he drank on the plane ride home from Miami.

STARTIN' 'EM YOUNG

Judge Reinhold made a super awkward joke with a Miami disc jockey about cocaine, 16-year-old boys and one of the Judge's classic movies ... just hours before his arrest.

Reinhold phoned into the “Paul and Young Ron" show Thursday morning and reprimanded a DJ for letting his kid watch "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."

In Reinhold's defense ... the flick is rated R for some of the best nudity, drug and solo sex scenes ("Doesn't anyone f***ing knock anymore?") in Hollywood history.

Judge might have a good point. Just a curious reference considering what went down shortly after this.

According to jail records ... George, who was released in 2014 after serving 20 years for running drugs, was booked in Sacramento County jail on Dec. 6. He's not eligible for bail, given his record, so he's still behind bars until his next court date.

Lady Gaga Hollywood Video Stud Busted For DUI Twice In a Month

Published | Updated

The guy who let Lady Gaga stroke his golden chin was bad at romance, but apparently worse at driving ... he got busted twice for DUI in less than 2 months.

Burbank cops tell TMZ Yuri Bradac -- who starred in Gaga's "Bad Romance" video -- was arrested for DUI last week after crashing into a wall at a Chevron station.

Bradac was also popped for drunk driving last month. He pled no contest and he's on probation, which makes the most recent DUI all the more serious, because it comes with mandatory jail time.

As if that's not bad enough ... Bradac refused to take a sobriety test after being arrested last week, which means his license will be automatically suspended for a year.

Bradac has had a lot of success in music videos over the years ... he's appeared with J Lo, Enrique Iglesias and Timbaland.

We've reached out to Yuri ... he had no comment.
