'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta' Star I Got Coke and Pot Problems Too
"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Stevie J thought his only legal woe was back child support during a court appearance Monday ... but his problems now include weed and coke.
Stevie was in court in Manhattan to surrender on charges he owes his baby mama more than a million dollars in back child support.
It should have been simple ... post the $25,000 and then walk out. Turns out Stevie was drug tested when he was picked up in Atlanta earlier this month and he flunked bad.
So the judge allowed Stevie to post bail ... but added a condition that he submit to random drug testing.
Kids and drugs ... they're such nagging problems.

Ex-Cop Sues Meek Mill I'm Firing Blanks in the Bedroom ... Because of You
Meek Mill ruined the career -- and maybe the sex life -- of a former Philly cop who now wants the rapper to pay dearly.
As TMZ first reported, Mill was arrested in 2012 for allegedly having weed on him, but when cops came up with zilch he sued the city of Philadelphia. Meek lost the case, but one of the involved officers claims he lost a lot too.
In a new lawsuit, the cop says Meek defamed him in interviews ... damaging his reputation and character. He was fired for allegations unrelated to Meek's case -- but claims it's been hard to find work because of Meek slamming him in the media.
Worst of all, the officer hints he's uhh -- misfiring in the bedroom. He claims the case "had a strong affect on my life and relationship performance with my fiancée."
The cop claims he has not worked in a year and is suing for $750,000 in damages.

Justin Bieber Finally Cops Plea in DUI ... Hang-Up Over Drug PSA
Justin Bieber will plea bargain his Miami DUI case ... and we know the sticking point was an anti-drug public service announcement the judge wanted Bieber to make.
Bieber has been charged with DUI, resisting arrest and driving without a valid license. You'll recall cops claimed they caught him drag racing drunk in Miami Beach last January, but it turns out he was neither drag racing nor drunk. He did test positive for marijuana.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Bieber will plead guilty to reckless driving and the other charges will be dismissed. He'll pay a fine and attend anger management classes. He will NOT be placed on probation. We're told the deal will be entered in court the week after next.
There are 2 reasons the settlement took so long. First ... the judge wanted Biebs to produce, star in and pay for an anti-drug PSA. We're told both Bieber's lawyer and the prosecutor resisted because they felt it was inappropriate. We're told the judge eventually backed down.
The second reason for the delay ... prosecutors wanted Bieber to attend a drug/alcohol ed course, but Bieber's team did not feel their client had a substance abuse problem and taking courses is admission he has issues. In the end, prosecutors settled on an anger management course.
The biggest deal for Bieber ... he will not be placed on probation, meaning he will not risk falling into the Lindsay Lohan abyss every time he violates a law.
We're told Khalil -- who was also busted during the traffic stop for DUI -- will cop the same plea, except he won't have to attend classes.
Once Bieber and Khalil complete the requirements of the settlement, the reckless driving conviction will be wiped from their record.

Britney and Christina Names Immortalized In Cocaine Bust
Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears have expanded their brand ... they're now code for powdered and crack cocaine.

They figured out from the recordings ... the dealers were using pop code.

Tracy Morgan Trucker I Was Not Drunk or High I'm a Scapegoat!
The trucker who caused the fatal car crash that left Tracy Morgan in critical condition says he was not high on drugs or drunk when he slammed into the SUV ... and believes he's being skewered because a celeb was hurt in the accident.
A twitter account which appears to be Walmart trucker Kevin Roper was very active early Tuesday morning ... with a remorseful Roper saying, "I wish it was me and I can't express how horrible I feel."
Roper also denies reports he hadn't slept for 24 hours, claiming the bad press is all about finding a scapegoat, as he says, "because a famous person was involved." He wrote, "I was never charged at the scene of the accident because once again i was not guilty of any crime. Not until all the TV cameras came."
Roper seems to say he was not negligent and therefore not responsible for the crash, suggesting he was not at fault.
Roper concluded his tweets, writing, "So yes i am now most likely f****d because i had an unfortunate ACCIDENT with the wrong car that night."

George Jung I Wrote a 'Blow' Sequel in Jail
Prepare for more tales of cocaine pure as the driven snow -- George Jung penned a sequel to "Blow" during his almost 20-year prison stint ... and his people say Hollywood's already knocking.

A rep for Jung says his new book, entitled "Heavy" ... will detail more of George's drug smuggling missions in the 80s and feature some of the same "Blow" characters.
Not surprisingly, we're told a movie production company's already interested in the book ... which comes out next month.
FUN FACT: Jung co-wrote the book with T. Rafael Cimino ... whose uncle Michael Cimino directed "Deer Hunter." Nice pedigree.
