David Cassidy Appears Drunk In Concert ... Slurs, Falls, Forgets
David Cassidy seems to have fallen off the wagon -- and almost off the stage -- in what appears to be a drunken performance this weekend.
The former teen idol was playing a gig in Agoura (near L.A.) Saturday night, where he looked incredibly intoxicated throughout the show ... ultimately leading to a hard fall over a monitor.
David slurs through various songs and and takes long pauses, often forgetting lyrics. He said on stage that Sunday night is his final concert ever due to health reasons ... and he's retiring.
David has been to rehab several times and has struggled with alcoholism.
We've reached out to Cassidy's rep ... so far, no word back.

Vince Young DWI Video Frustrated, Uncooperative 'Are We Going to Jail or Not?'
Vince Young straight threw in the towel during his '16 drunk driving arrest -- refusing to complete field sobriety tests after getting frustrated with the cop ... and ultimately saying, "Are we going to jail or not?"
TMZ Sports obtained the arrest video from January 24, 2016 which shows Young being pulled over in Austin, Texas, after the officer says he was driving erratically in his white truck.
Young starts off being nice and cooperative ... but gets increasingly frustrated with the DWI investigation process.
He refuses to get out of his car until the officer orders him out.
He gets sick of the eye test and tells the officer he won't comply.
At one point he says, "What's the problem? Are we going to jail or not?"
The officer finally gets fed up when Young refuses a breath test and arrests the ex-NFL star.
Officials later determined Young's blood alcohol content was THREE TIMES the legal limit. He cut a plea deal and was sentenced to 18 months probation.

Plies was arrested for DUI by some pretty stonefaced cops, because it's borderline remarkable they didn't lose it as they gazed into the horrified eyes of one Kevin McCallister.
TMZ obtained the dash cam footage of the Florida rapper's January arrest ... the main attraction is definitely the "Home Alone" tee.
You hear the officer tell Plies he was driving the wrong way down a one-way street. Plies was cooperative ... calmly answering questions about a gun in the car.

Lauryn Hill Keeps Show Flowing While Drunk Fan Gets Booted
Lauryn Hill didn't skip a beat as she was closing out her Nashville show ... even though a dude was getting booted right in front of the stage.
Hill was mid-song at Ryman Auditorium Thursday when a disturbance went down in the crowd. It's hard to tell exactly what happens in the video, but witnesses tell us a drunk guy was harassing a woman ... who was eventually lifted to the safety of the stage by security.
Cops say they got a call for a scuffle between two people and arrested a man for public intoxication, resisting arrest, criminal trespass and disorderly conduct ... but it's unclear if it's from the same incident as the video.
Nobody plays it cool like Lauryn.

The reporter followed up on the claim when the camera was rolling ... and Oakley admitted to having "a couple drinks" before the game.
But Oakley seems to scoff at the suggestion alcohol had anything to do with the incident.

Steve Francis Ordered to Wear Ankle Monitor ... After Violating Bond
Steve Francis is the new Lindsay Lohan -- 'cause he was just ordered to wear an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet after violating the terms of his bond.
The trouble all stems from the ex-NBA star's drunk driving arrest back in November -- when cops say he was driving around Houston while hammered and in possession of weed.
At the time, Francis was released on bond -- and was ordered to NOT drink a drop of alcohol. He was also ordered to put a breathalyzer device in his car.
But, officials say he blew off his blowing obligations and didn't use the device -- a violation of the terms of his bond.
He appeared in court Thursday, where the judge dropped the hammer by ordering him to wear a SCRAM bracelet -- which constantly monitors alcohol consumption. It also has a GPS tracking device (he's not allowed to leave Texas).
If Francis doesn't get his new accessory by tomorrow, the judge says she will issue a warrant for his arrest.
Stay tuned ...

Super Bowl LI Cops Brace for Trump Protesters ... Marijuana Lovers Too
The Houston Police Department is expecting the worst outside the Super Bowl and is ready to combat a wave of Prez Trump protesters making noise about disrupting the game.
Our law enforcement sources say officers, in uniform and undercover, will monitor crowds outside NRG Stadium. We're told several online groups have popped up in recent days organizing protests -- some anti-Trump, some for Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock and refugees.
HPD has plenty of backup, having borrowed cops from around the country. As usual for the Super Bowl ... we're told SWAT will be posted nearby if protests turn into riots and get out of hand.
One more thing -- stoners beware. Unlike the inauguration protests, we're told in and outside the stadium will be a weed-free zone. As one officer put it, "If people think they are going to bring dope into Texas, they're full of s***."

Lady Gaga I'm Turning into a Real Winer ... For 'Grigio Girls'
Lady Gaga is about to one-up the singer who turned lemons into lemonade by turning grapes into delicious wine.
Gaga plans to launch her own brand of wine called "Grigio Girls" ... named after a bonus track on her 2016 album, Joanne. Her company filed paperwork to produce wine, wine coolers, wine cocktails and wine punches with the name.
We're guessing Pinot Grigio will be the flagship product.
"Grigio Girls" is a song inspired by Gaga's friend, Sonja, who has cancer -- it's about how Gaga and her girlfriends would get together, pop open a bottle and cry for her. So ... their own brand of wine seems like a perfect tribute.
Lady Gaga's not totally new to the food and drink biz, though -- her parents own an Italian restaurant in NYC called Joanne Trattoria.

WWE legend Tammy Sytch says she has "tremendous guilt feelings" about the death of her good friend, Chyna ... admitting she failed to get her the help she needed when she saw Chyna struggling.

Obviously, Chyna's death isn't Tammy's fault ... but Sytch says she wishes she could've gotten her friend to see the light. Chyna passed away in April after overdosing on Rx pills and booze.
As for Tammy ... her next stop is another stint in rehab to combat her ongoing alcohol issues -- and she says she's receiving the full support of the WWE.

He later tweeted, "My mistake. Won't happen again."
