Mama June & Geno Rough Looking Lunch Date

Things are NOT getting better for Mama June -- who family members believe is in the grips of drug addiction -- because the visuals of her leaving lunch with her BF are rough.
June and Geno Doak looked pretty disheveled Monday as they left a restaurant in their hometown of Hampton, GA. The image of them, after chowing down on Mexican, won't do anything to alleviate her daughters' fears she's spiraling out of control.
Seriously, it's just not a good look.
The reality star still looks like a shell of her former self. She seemed to be struggling to keep her eyes open -- and, as you can see, June is still walking around with her busted chompers. Fixing her busted veneers is clearly not a priority ... they've been this way for months.
Mama's been in a downward spiral ever since her March arrest for possession of crack cocaine.
Frankly, she's looking even worse now than she did when her family attempted an intervention earlier this year -- which left Honey Boo Boo in tears as her mother rejected the pleas for her to get help.
If June's waiting to hit rock bottom ... sure seems like she's getting dangerously close.

Georgia Southern QB Cops Mistook Bird Poo For Cocaine ... Arrest Video Shows

11:38 AM PT -- Prosecutors have just released a statement to TMZ Sports, saying, "On August 8, 2019, SLED [South Carolina Law Enforcement Division] received the substance and completed the drug analysis. The forensic scientist determined that no controlled substance was detected."
"The Solicitor’s Office has begun the expungement process to have this charge removed from the system to ensure that this arrest and charge does not create a criminal history for Werts."
Cops mistook bird poop for cocaine on a Georgia Southern quarterback's car during an arrest last month ... and the argument over the white stuff was all caught on video.
Shai Werts -- GSU's junior starting quarterback -- was pulled over on July 31 in Clinton, South Carolina after cops say he was speeding.
During the stop, officers placed 21-year-old Werts in the back of their patrol car ... and went to search Werts' 2016 Dodge Charger.
In the video, you can see cops paying close attention to the hood of Werts' ride, shining a flashlight on the area and allegedly discovering a foreign white substance on it.
That's when an officer walks back to the patrol car to question Werts, asking straight-up, "What's the white stuff on the front of your hood, man?"
Werts immediately responds, "Bird sh*t."
The officer doesn't believe him, saying repeatedly that the substance looks nothing like bird poop ... and instead, he tells Werts test results indicated it was a controlled substance.
"I swear to God it's not [bird poo]," the officer says, "because I just tested it, and that turned pink."
Werts insists over and over again it's bird poop ... but the cop clearly doesn't believe him, with the officer eventually telling him, "It tested positive for cocaine."
Werts was charged with misdemeanor cocaine possession and speeding ... and he was also suspended from GSU team activities after the arrest.
But, prosecutors announced late Thursday they were dropping the charges ... admitting the substance on Werts' car was NOT cocaine.
"I was informed that the test did come back and that there was no controlled substance found," Saluda County prosecutor Al Eargle told the Savannah Morning News.
Georgia Southern athletic director Tom Kleinlein announced Friday the team was "elated to get the news" regarding Werts ... and said the QB is no longer subject to punishment over the incident.
Werts has been a star for the Eagles the past 2 seasons ... rushing for 1,630 yards and 18 scores on the ground while adding 1,916 yards and 17 TDs passing in 24 career games.
Werts is expected to open the season as the team's starter vs. LSU on Aug. 31.

Charlie Sheen on Brooke Mueller 'She's Right Where She Needs to Be' After Checking Into Rehab
Charlie Sheen says he hopes his ex, Brooke Mueller, gets the help she needs ... cause it doesn't look like she's having any fun.
Charlie was out Thursday in Bev Hills when a photog asked him about Brooke's latest battle with addiction, and as it turns out -- he'd just gotten off a phone call about that very subject. Charlie said someone had told him about his ex-wife reportedly checking into a trauma center to seek professional help for substance abuse.
The news comes after a years-old video started circulating reportedly showing a woman identified as Brooke doing crystal meth. She reportedly also tried to score drugs last month in the Hamptons.
Charlie -- who has 10-year-old twin boys with Brooke -- said the kids are doing great. The boys, Bob and Max, are reportedly staying with Brooke's parents while she's in rehab.
Sounds like Charlie, who now looks like the picture of good health, hasn't spoken directly to Brooke.
However, he says if she reaches out he'll gladly lend a helping hand.

6:21 AM PT -- We're told Bam's team has returned the check without cashing it.
Bam Margera going to rehab has a celeb boxing promoter in a tough spot -- he's looking to get back the dough he just fronted Bam to ref a high profile match.
Damon Feldman, the promoter putting on a bout featuring the infamous Bagel Boss, tells TMZ ... Bam got half of his fee up front -- a cool $2,500 -- after signing a deal last week agreeing to be a ref. The deal called for Bam to get another $2,500 after the event. Damon says he hopes Bam gets better soon, and he won't hold the "Jackass" star to his contract.
The only catch ... Feldman says he wants his money back.
As we reported ... the "Viva La Bam" star is spending the next 60-90 days in treatment, meaning he's unavailable for the September 7 event in Atlantic City. Damon says he's contacted Bam's team to get the money back, but so far, radio silence.
TMZ broke the story ... Damon and Bam agreed to the deal just before Margera went off the rails last weekend -- berating a Southwest Airlines employee and getting booted from the flight.
The next morning, Bam took to social media and pled for Dr. Phil's help because his "family is in shambles" ... claiming his troubles were worse than ever.

Bam Margera's mother is counting on the mini-intervention they held with Dr. Phil to pull her son out of his substance abuse tailspin ... because her family's patience is wearing thin.
April Margera tells TMZ ... Bam's loved ones are at the "end of our rope" with his substance abuse and mental health issues. She says the family is offering its full support, but they've been down this road before, and they know it's no sure thing Bam sticks with rehab, or remains on the right path once he gets out.
As we first reported ... Bam is on his way to a rehab facility after Monday's 3-hour session with Dr. Phil, and the "Jackass" star is starting a 60-90 day stay in treatment. April and Bam's wife, Nikki, both participated in the segment.
As for why April and the rest of Bam's family are running out of patience -- he's been to rehab several times before. His most recent stint was in January and Bam bailed on that after a few days, but his mom says there's reason for hope: an example set by one of Bam's close friends.
She adds ... her son's social media rant over the weekend was "embarrassing" and he's been lashing out at those closest to him.
April feels Bam is his own worst enemy, but she's cautiously optimistic Dr. Phil can be the one to finally got through to her son.

12:57 PM PT -- Saoirse's been carried to her final resting place at the Saint Francis Xavier Cemetery in Centerville, MA by her pallbearers ... including Congressman Kennedy.
Maria Shriver is in an all too familiar position ... attending a funeral for a Kennedy family member, this time for her young cousin, Saoirse Kennedy Hill, who died from an apparent overdose.
RFK's granddaughter was laid to rest Monday during a family service in Cape Cod. The funeral -- also attended by Congressman Joe Kennedy, Saoirse's grandmother, Ethel Kennedy, RFK Jr. and his wife, Cheryl Hines -- was held a few miles away from the Kennedy compound where Saoirse died.

Bam Margera is turning to Dr. Phil amid his ongoing struggles -- asking the daytime TV host to help mend fences with his own family ... and being very candid with what's wrong.
The former "Jackass" star took to social media early Sunday morning with a pair of rambling videos and basically begged Phil to take his situation on, saying ...

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Bam says he's disowned his mom -- more on that later -- and that he can't stand his wife, Nikki, with whom he shares an 18-month son, Phoenix. He also says that if he separates with her, he believes she'll use custody of their son as a pawn in court.
He says he won't play that game, adding that she can have him. He also says that when folks say Bam is going "crazy" ... they might be right.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

He also says he almost "died" the other day, and that when April was told ... she allegedly acted with zero emotion, which bothers Bam. Bam ends his video rant with an apparent message for his mother -- to consolidate his funds with a new account he opened ... or else.
As we've reported ... Bam's been dealing with lots of issues lately, including addiction and rehab stints. Just this weekend, he flew off the handle on an airport employee ... which prevented him from getting on the plane. He was later escorted away by a cop, but wasn't arrested.

Bam Margera Booted from Southwest ... After Berating Airport Police
11:07 AM PT -- According to Atlanta PD, a call for service came in Friday for a dispute at the gate of an airport, which we're told appears to be related to this incident Bam was involved in here. Luckily for him, no arrests were made -- which jives with what you hear the video below. The officer says he was taking Bam to a hotel shuttle so he wouldn't get in trouble. APD also clarified that the guy in the yellow vest is not a police officer, he appears to be an airport employee.
Bam Margera was off the rails Saturday after just laying into an airport police officer, calling him an idiot and ultimately getting taken off the flight.
It's unclear what exactly happened, but it looks like Bam was wasted when he got on a Southwest flight in Atlanta and was told he was too drunk and/or obstinate to fly.
Bam told the officer he had 50 shots of tequila, and then called him an idiot for believing it ... then insisting he only had one drink.
It looks like he was taken into custody, and he just posted his therapist was flying to meet with him.
Bam has struggled with addiction and spent time in rehab. Bam's clearly been struggling recently ... most notably with a drunken public outburst at his own comedy show.
He's also been posting pics calling out his wife, Nikki and "Jackass" costar, Brandon Novak ... saying he's done with them.

Honey Boo Boo Pretends to Snort Cocaine on Camera ... As Sister Scolds Her
Honey Boo Boo is in the dog house with her big sister after pretending to do a line of cocaine -- a shocking move that comes as her mother, Mama June, battles drug addiction.
HBB went live on Facebook Thursday evening to answer questions from her fans, but at one point the 13-year-old got extremely agitated and yelled at her sister, "Tell me what's f**king next right now!" Then she picked up a plastic knife and said she would need to take a break.
That's when she mockingly lined up something on the table, and started snorting it ... and a woman we believe to be her older sister, Pumpkin, went off.
She yelled, "Alana quit f**king doing ... dont' even f**king mimic that on f**king live!!!"
As we first reported, Alana's now living with Pumpkin, and has been since shortly after June and her BF, Geno, were arrested earlier this year for crack possession.
The video's especially troubling since Honey Boo Boo was so distraught during her family recent attempt to have an intervention for June.
One way to view this is Alana trying to mock or shame June for her ongoing drug issues. You'll recall, we got video of June and Geno outside their home right after he crashed his truck into their garage ... and he was so wasted he couldn't stand.
An even sadder theory is she was mimicking something she'd seen someone do ... possibly her mother. We've reached out to a rep for the family, but no word back yet.

Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy's granddaughter is dead after suffering an apparent drug overdose while staying at the family's famous Hyannis Port estate.
Saoirse Kennedy Hill was already in cardiac arrest Thursday by the time paramedics arrived at the Kennedy compound ... around 2:30 PM. She was rushed to a hospital, but doctors could not resuscitate her, and she was pronounced dead there.
Multiple reports said the cause of death appears to be an overdose, but there's no official word from police or the family.
Saiorse's death is the latest in a decades-long string of tragedies for the Kennedys. The family released a statement saying, "“Her life was filled with hope, promise and love. She lit up our lives with her love, her peals of laughter and her generous spirit. We will love her and will miss her forever."
Her grandmother, Ethel, added, "The world is a little less beautiful today."
Saiorse studied communications at Boston College, and before that attended the Deerfield Academy private boarding school in Massachusetts. While she was there, she wrote an article for the school paper about battling depression and attempting suicide.
Her parents are Courtney Kennedy -- Ethel and RFK's 5th child (out of 11) -- and Paul Michael Hill.
Saiorse was 22.
