Drugs & Alcohol

O.T. Genasis got caught in a blizzard on Hollywood Boulevard -- a parade of white chicks who followed him out of a club and showed NO SHAME ... partying with him on the street.

The wild after-party went down outside The Argyle around 3 AM, and here's all you need to know -- O.T., 5 super fans (probably super drunk), short skirts, lots of twerking, an inflatable dinosaur and an amazing soundtrack courtesy of a sax player. Think sidewalk slow jams.

O.T.G.'s description of one of the girls says it all, "Her name must be Simba, 'cause she got jungle fever!"

This is interesting ... Diddy took such an interest in his son's college football career -- he once sent a huge gift basket of Ciroc Vodka to an ESPN host who praised his kid on the air.

Colin Cowherd tells TMZ Sports ... he never intended to score free stuff from Diddy when he heaped praise on Justin Combs for making the UCLA football team a few years ago. But two days after he talked about the rap mogul's son, the free stuff showed up, courtesy of Puff.

Nice gesture, according to Cowherd who adds ... "now he's throwing kettlebells at people."

The $100 homeless man who became famous for his generosity has died ... TMZ has learned.

We're told Kenni Thomas Nickel -- featured in a YouTube video that generated 40 million views -- was found dead in an L.A. alleyway. The L.A. County Coroner's Office tells us Nickel died from chronic alcohol abuse. He passed away last month.

You'll recall, a stranger gave Nickel $100 and then followed him around with a hidden camera to see how Nickel spent it. To everyone's surprise, Nickel used the cash to dish out food and other necessities to homeless people.

Nickel was 56.

R.I.P.

You'll probably die if you try it ... but Wade Boggs is finally revealing the secret to pounding 100 beers in 24 hours.

You've heard the legend ... that Boggs once slammed 64 beers on a flight from Boston to L.A. during his days in the MLB (the exact number has been disputed).

In fact, the famous story inspired an episode of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia."

So, how the hell did he do it? He probably didn't ... but he had a funny answer when we asked him about it in NYC yesterday.

Blake Anderson from “Workaholics” is not a morning person … at least that’s the reason he’s giving for mumbling through his spaced out 6 AM interview for his perfectly titled movie “Dope.”

The bagel toting Blake went on a local station in Cincinnati to promo his upcoming movie but it was a complete disaster from the first word ... to the curse words he eventually slurred on the air -- before the anchor pulled the plug.

Blake had a bunch of excuses too -- including lack of sleep, and the Golden State Warriors. He later tweeted that he didn't get home from the bar until 3 AM. Makes sense.

Check out the vid. Highlarious.

The Chicago Blackhawks might be a little late to Thursday's victory parade ... because they were out on the town until the wee hours of the morning last night ... raging with champagne and TONS of chicks.

Kris Versteeg, Jonathan Toews and Stanley Cup Finals MVP Duncan Keith were among the players who hit up Studio Paris, a nightclub in downtown Chicago.

In the video, Versteeg can be seen spraying champagne all over the crowd ... and the people couldn't have been more thrilled to be doused.

But the best part might be on the way out when Toews walks out the door ... followed by roughly TEN CHICKS!

Jamie Sangouthai -- Lamar Odom's best friend -- did not die from an OD, but it was drug related ... a flesh-eating disease caused by dirty needles.

The exact terms are necrotizing fasciitis -- bacterial skin infection -- and chronic intravenous narcotism -- IV drug abuse ... according to the L.A. County Coroner.

The Coroner says Sangouthai went to the hospital for the infected arm, but the disease spreads quickly and often becomes life-threatening.

Andrew Getty, the grandson of J. Paul Getty, was under the influence of meth ... and his habit was so bad he did an 8 ball a day ... this according to the Coroner's report.

TMZ broke the story, Getty was found dead in March in the bathroom of his L.A. home.

According to the L.A. County Coroner, Getty's ex-girlfriend, Lanessa DeJong, was present when paramedics arrived and appeared to be under the influence of drugs. She told authorities Andrew had a meth problem and did an 8 ball a day.

The official cause of death is a gastrointestinal hemorrhage, but meth was a contributing factor. The autopsy showed toxic levels of the drug.

Getty also had a pharmacy of Rx drugs at his home, including Concerta, Adderall, Norco, as well as Dainabol and Trenabol Acetate (both anabolic steroids).

And according to the Coroner's report, investigators found an interesting clue on Getty's cellphone. There were 2 texts from a person named Robby, who wrote, "Lemme know if you need something. Imma grabbing the good stuff in a minute." The second text reads, "It's a good batch, my man."

Lamar Odom is taking the death of his best friend hard, and we're told the Kardashian family is worried it could push him back into the dark world of drugs.

We broke the story, Jamie Sangouthai -- who appeared on Lamar and Khloe's reality show -- died Sunday of an apparent OD. Jamie was with Lamar when the basketball star went on a crack binge 2 years ago, and it was common knowledge among their friends Jamie was fueling Lamar's addiction.

Friends of the Kardashians tell TMZ, the family -- and especially Khloe -- are hoping Lamar views Jamie's death as a wake up call so he'll swear off drugs forever. But our sources say the family knows the reality -- that Lamar has had trouble kicking his habit in the long term, and they think that Jamie's death could actually do significant damage to Lamar's psyche.

Khloe has taken no steps to move her divorce case forward with Lamar ... it's been dormant for more than a year, and the judge has threatened to dismiss the case outright. We're told they talk from time to time, although it's unclear if a reconciliation is in the cards.

It's til death do they part for Xzibit and his wife, but it's only three years probation for the rap star ... after he pled guilty to driving under the influence ... the night of his wedding reception.

The November 2014 arrest really was something ... cops pulled over the rap star for speeding, but found he reeked of booze and blew a .14 ... nearly twice the legal limit.

X and his wife, Krista Joiner, had their wedding reception in Laguna Beach just before his arrest.

In addition to probation, X has to attend an alcohol ed program.

Lamar Odom's best friend, Jamie Sangouthai -- the man Khloe and others claimed fueled Lamar's disastrous crack binge 2 years ago -- has died, and we're told authorities believe it was a heroin OD.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Jamie died Sunday in a hospital in downtown L.A. He was taken to the hospital after someone called 911.

Jamie was featured on Khloe and Lamar's reality show and they highlighted Jamie's problems on the program.

You may recall a crazy video of an obviously high Lamar and Jamie rapping about Khloe.

Khloe just tweeted, "When does it stop? RIP Jamie Sangouthai."

Jamie was 37 years old.

Rick Ross had a close call in jail Wednesday ... in mortal danger of gaining back some of the pounds he lost.

As TMZ reported, Ross was busted for pot possession near Atlanta and was hauled off to jail. As the hours ticked away, Ross got hungry. The challenge: eating something that did not compromise his recent 100 pound weight loss.

The 2 slices of turkey made sense. A slice of cheese never killed anyone. The juice pack is loaded with sugar, but it's small. Ditto the "Oreo-like cookie."

But then comes the starch ... a staple in the pokey. Rick was tempted not once, not twice, but to 4 slices of bread.

Rick Ross was just busted in his Bentley which apparently reeked of marijuana.

Ross was rolling along in Fayette County, GA when cops pulled him over for tinted windows. Cops say when they got close to Ross' car they smelled pot, and that gave them the right to search the fancy ride.

Cops tell us the search was fruitful, producing five "marijuana cigarettes" -- enough to hook up Ricky Rozay and take him to the pokey.

This is Ross' second pot arrest. So far, no comment from the Bawse.

It looks like the worst drug smuggling scheme ever on film -- 'cause a guy got busted for transporting mounds of coke inside film canisters ... in a plot way thinner than anything you saw in "Blow."

Newark Airport customs agents grew suspicious after finding 36 film tins inside his luggage – and unless he was shooting 'Godfather 4' ... that was the first hint something was up.

Agents found disks filled with the coco tucked inside the film strips. Total haul -- 10 lbs. with an estimated street value of $177,000.

As for the other hints -- well, the flight was arriving from ... COLOMBIA!! Oh, and the alleged smuggler's last name is Espinosa.

Sorry, but if your name is Andres Filipe Alean Espinosa, and you're flying in from Colombia with 36 film tins ... you're probably getting a secondary search.

We hope Drake sipped his champagne very, VERY slowly at a wrap party for his tour -- 'cause his pal Jas Prince basically dropped the cost of a Honda Civic on a single high end bottle at the table!

Drizzy ended the first leg of his Jungle Tour in NYC over the weekend, and then turnt up with Young Empire Music Group owner Jas Prince, Future, Chubbs, Jim Jones and a bunch of other celebs at 2 clubs.

Sources tell us Jas decided to toast Drake's success with a $20,000 bottle of Ace of Spades at VIP Room. Then, when the party moved to Up & Down Nightclub ... Jas scooped up 6 more mortal-sized bottles for the party.

We're told Giants superstar Odell Beckham and comedian DeRay Davis also stopped by their table ... 'cause why the hell wouldn't they?

Quick backstory: Jas discovered Drake, and as we've reported ... he's actually suing Cash Money for allegedly stiffing him on Drake-related funds. We're told the lawsuit is ongoing, despite false reports Jas had lost the case.

No one drops $20k on champagne to toast a loss.

David and Jackie Siegel's daughter was struggling with addiction, and probably on drugs at the time of her death ... according to the the family's attorney.

The "Queen of Versailles" couple finally addressed their daughter Victoria Siegel's passing with a statement through their attorney, Michael Marder ... who said the 18-year-old had a "history of seizures and was prescribed medication for this condition."

He says, "It is likely that Victoria ingested one or more drugs prior to her death" -- but adds they have not determined if the drugs were prescription or something else.

He added that Victoria had voluntarily checked into rehab to deal with her addiction. As TMZ first reported, Victoria ended a rehab stint just about 2 weeks ago.
