The actress, who starred in the film about the famous drug smuggler, tells us she got word from someone in George's camp last year telling her he was drinking a lot ... and they were worried he'd get busted if he didn't get treatment.

Watch -- it sounds like the wheels were in motion, but then came to a hard stop when George got busted last week for a parole violation.

We spoke to Marinovich's lawyer, Adam Cole, who tells us the former USC star checked himself into a Southern California treatment center this week.

The ex-QB was scheduled to appear in court this week, but couldn't attend the hearing because he's getting treatment. Cole says he'll give the District Attorney proof that Marinovich is at a rehab facility.

We reached out to Steve's camp, but haven't heard back.

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.

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.
