Lionel Richie's Bassist 911 Call ... Caller 'Can't Explain' Stabbing Situation

Published | Updated

The man who called for help when Lionel Richie's bassist, Ethan Farmer, allegedly stabbed himself after eating marijuana edibles may have been under the influence himself ... based on the 911 call.

We broke the story ... cops say Farmer was chowing down on pot cookies or brownies with friends when he turned violent and repeatedly stabbed himself.

The shocking nature of the situation was apparently too much to put into words for the guy who called 911, who simply said "I don't know" and "I can't explain it" when trying to describe the scene.

He also couldn't answer why a woman was screaming in the background or come up with Farmer's age.

Last we heard, the 42-year-old musician is recovering from his injuries.

'B.I.P' Corinne Olympios I Was So Drunk I did a Face-plant in the Jacuzzi

Published | Updated

Corinne Olympios was so drunk when she got sexual with fellow "Bachelor in Paradise" castmate, DeMario Jackson, she did a face-plant in the Jacuzzi and after she was dragged and laying on the ground the sexual contact continued, but sources who have seen the video say it just didn't happen.

Sources involved in Corinne's representation tell TMZ ... she had a half a bottle of champagne in a vehicle before arriving at the bar, where she had some mixed drinks with hard liquor as well as one or 2 shots.

The sources say she did not object to the sexual contact and may have indeed consented, but they say she was not capable of consent, point to the "Jacuzzi face-plant" and being laid out on the ground.

They also claim a cast member told producers after the face-plant to stop, but they responded that she was "fine."

But our sources who have seen the video say Corinne's version is "absolutely not true" ... no face-plant, no being laid out on the ground ... nothing like that. The sources who have seen the tape say she was clearly with it the entire time in the pool, and there's no ambiguity after seeing the video.

The sources add none of the cast members complained ... quite the opposite they say ... many have come forward to say Corinne knew exactly what she was doing.

'Mob Wives' Star Renee Graziano Not Really Buying Drama in 'Paradise'

Published | Updated

"Mob Wives" star Renee Graziano just can't believe it ... drama in paradise?!

Renee was leaving Craig's Thursday night in WeHo when we asked her about the "Bachelor in Paradise" controversy over alleged sexual misconduct between Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson in the pool. As we reported, "B.I.P" has been put on ice while Warner Bros. investigates.

Renee knows a thing or 2 about excessive drinking. She's in recovery and knows all about boozing ... on and off camera.

Michael Floyd Blames Booze Test On Late Night Kombucha Binge

Published | Updated

Michael Floyd wants you to believe that he failed his alcohol test after a long night of watching movies and pounding kombucha tea ... and NOT because he was drinking booze.

The Minnesota Vikings WR issued a statement through his agent explaining why at least 4 of his breath tests were flagged for alcohol ... despite the fact he was ordered by the judge to refrain from taking a single sip while under house arrest.

Here's the explanation from his agent:

"On June 10, 2017, Michael watched movies at his place of residence until 3:00 a.m. During that time, he drank several bottles of kombucha tea drinks, unaware that the drinks contain alcohol."

"On June 11, 2017 at 5:30 a.m., Michael was tested and his blood alcohol content was .055. Michael was tested again at 5:54 a.m. and his blood alcohol content was down to .045. Michael was tested again at 6:23 a.m. and his blood alcohol content was .044. He then went back to sleep and missed a test at 6:33 a.m."

As we previously reported, kombucha is a fermented tea that contains a small amount of alcohol -- typically the same or less than a non-alcoholic beer.

The story seems fishy ... a late-night binge fueled by tea? It's possible. We'll see if the judge buys it when he appears in court on June 26.

Chief Keef Here's My Advice On Smuggling Marijuana Edibles

Published | Updated

Chief Keef knows why he got busted at a South Dakota airport ... problem is he should've figured this out BEFORE he tried to board a plane.

The rapper was at LAX Wednesday when we asked him about his Monday morning arrest in Sioux Falls. Remember, authorities say Keef had 4 blunts and an edible in his backpack, and the edible wrapper clearly said it contained 200 mg of THC.

But Keef says the real issue was his attempt to bring them back to L.A. ... not that he got caught. He's learning. Slowly. We think.

JFK Drug Bust I Can't Feel My Ass!! 27 lbs. of Blow Found in Woman's Wheelchair

Published | Updated

Customs agents and a drug sniffin' dog busted a woman attempting to smuggle 6 bricks of cocaine -- worth nearly $500k -- in the cushion of her wheelchair.

Yoncela Stanley arrived at the JFK Airport Sunday from St. Lucia, and allegedly had the load of blow tucked under and behind her in the motorized chair. The K9 wasn't fooled though, and alerted Customs and Border Protection Officers who noticed the back seat cushion looked "unusual."

6 bricks and 2 clear bags of coke -- tipping the scales at 27 lbs. and worth $468,000 -- would definitely be unusual. Stanley was booked for importation of a controlled substance.

The K9 got a big bag of legal treats, we're guessing, for the bust.

Chief Keef Arrested in South Dakota For Weed and Paraphernalia

Published | Updated

Chief Keef was busted at an airport in South Dakota after forgetting he had drugs on him.

Chief was arrested before getting on a plane in Sioux Falls early Monday morning after authorities discovered the rapper had weed and paraphernalia on him.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ authorities found 4 blunts and an edible in his backpack. The edible's wrapper clearly said it contained 200 mg of THC, which was a dead giveaway. In total, we're told Chief was allegedly in possession of more than an ounce of bud. He was cuffed and booked for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia.

Sources close to Chief tell us he simply forgot he had it on him before boarding his flight. He had a scheduled performance in Sioux Falls the night before. This comes on the heels of Chief being busted for DUI in Miami just a couple months ago.

As of Monday morning, we're told Chief was still in jail and awaiting his arraignment. His camp says their lawyers are all over it, and expect him to be out soon.

Hayley Hasselhoff Nearly Double Legal Limit in DUI

Published | Updated

David Hasselhoff's daughter, Hayley, has been charged in her DUI case and we've learned her blood alcohol was off the charts.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... Hayley blew a .14 last month when cops found her passed out in her Mercedes on an L.A. freeway off-ramp. The legal limit in California is .08.

As we first reported ... she had to be taken to a hospital before she was booked.

Now, the city attorney has officially charged Hayley, and if convicted she faces up to 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine.

That sentence is almost unheard of though for first, and even second-time offenders.

Tiger Woods Told Cops He Popped Xanax

Published | Updated

Tiger Woods told arresting officers he'd taken Xanax the night he was pulled over for DUI ... which has only now been revealed by an unredacted copy of the police report.

In previous police docs, Tiger had copped to 4 other meds -- Solarex, Vicodin, Torix and Vioxx ... which he said he hadn't taken this year. There was no mention of Xanax.

However, the new unredacted document -- first obtained by Golf Channel -- makes it clear ... when the officer asked Tiger if he'd taken any medication he stated Xanax.

It's unclear why that drug was initially concealed in the report, but it helps support Tiger's original statement in which he said he'd had "an unexpected reaction to prescribed medications."

There was no clear danger in combining the 4 drugs originally listed -- however, Vicodin and Xanax is a whole different story. The FDA warns combining Xanax with opiods can result in "profound sedation, respiratory depression, coma and death."

¡NO BUENO!

TMZ Sports has obtained new footage of the Rex & Rob Ryan bar fight in Nashville -- which shows Rex cussing out a bar patron and then spilling a margarita on the guy.

It all went down Sunday at Margaritaville -- you can see Matt Havel chatting up the ex-NFL coaches and another man at the Ryans' table ... until Havel said something that set Rex off.

Unclear what Matt said ... but Rex blows up at the guy. Rob shoves him. And while Rex grabs the guy's drink to move it to another table, someone bumps his elbow ... and Matt gets splashed with booze.

The fight quickly escalated ... with Rob eventually grabbing Matt by the neck.

Havel later filed a police report accusing both brothers of simple assault.

That said ... props to the singer who continued to play a pretty solid rendition of the Kenny Rogers classic, "The Gambler" while the scrap broke out.
