'Survivor' Winner Jenna Morasca Allegedly Bites Cop After Being Revived in Drug OD
'Survivor' winner Jenna Morasca allegedly was so whacked out on drugs she had to be revived with Narcan and, when she regained consciousness, she bit a cop.
Morasca, who won a million bucks on "Survivor: The Amazon" in 2003, was observed unconscious in her SUV in Washington, Pennsylvania in an intersection with the ignition on ... this according to the police report obtained by TMZ.
Cops were called, and they observed a passenger in the car trying to hide several syringes in a large Ziploc bag in her purse. Cops quickly determined Morasca was under the influence, administered Narcan, and placed her on a stretcher and into an ambulance.
According to the police report, Morasca, who also appeared on "Survivor: All-Stars" and "The Amazing Race," tried to bite paramedics on the way to the hospital. An officer entered the ambulance trying to subdue her, and cops say Morasca bit her on the forearm.
She was arrested for DUI and possession of narcotics paraphernalia and will be charged with assaulting a police officer for the incident, which occurred at the end of January.

EXCLUSIVE
- 4 shares
Keeping a self-proclaimed gold digger happy knows no bounds ... just ask this guy from the show "90 Day Fiancé" who got busted for allegedly trying to sell 300 pounds of weed.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Jorge Nava -- who met and married Russian beauty Anfisa Arkhipchenko on the TLC show last season -- was arrested last week in Arizona on multiple felony counts ... including possession of marijuana for sale and transportation of marijuana for sale.
We're told Jorge was pulled over by cops in Mojave County for a traffic violation. During the stop, cops conducted a search and made the colossal discovery. It's unclear where in the car Jorge had stored the weed or if it was in plain view.
He spent 2 days in jail before posting $25k bail. If convicted, Jorge faces up to 12 1/2 years in prison.
It's interesting ... Jorge's wife was pretty explicit on the show ... saying she wanted a $10k monthly allowance, expensive shoes, bags and even a car. He asked her what would happen if he, say, ever got hurt and couldn't work. She said she'd leave his ass.
Any takers?

Johnny Manziel Diagnosed Bipolar 'Self-Medicated with Alcohol'
Johnny Manziel says he's been battling bipolar disorder and depression for years -- and had used alcohol as a way to "self-medicate" ... but claims he's sought professional help to work through it.
"I am taking medication for bipolar, and I am working to try to make sure I don’t fall back into any type of depression," Johnny told "Good Morning America" ... "because I know where that leads me and I know how slippery a slope that is for me."

"I am watching all the other guys doing what I want to be doing, and I am sitting on a couch being a loser."
"The goal of this comeback is to get back to the NFL, ultimately."

"When I would wake up the next day after a night like that, going on a trip like that, and you wake up the next day and that is all gone, that liquid courage, or that liquid ... sense of euphoria that is over you, is all gone."
"You are left staring at the ceiling by yourself, and in that depression and back in that hole, that dark hole of sitting in a room by yourself, super depressed, thinking about all the mistakes you made in your life."
"What did that get me? Where did that get me except out of the NFL? Where did that get me? Disgraced?"
Johnny says the support from his family and his fiancee, Bre Tiesi, have been key to getting his life back together.

'Celebrity Big Brother' Lots of Alcohol = Scandalous Secrets ... You Listening, Trump?
"Celebrity Big Brother" is out to spill secrets this season, because producers are plying the contestants with truth serum in the form of booze.
Production sources tell TMZ ... the bigwigs have changed the policy of limiting alcohol consumption ... the spigot is wide open and the cast is taking full advantage. Omarosa, James Maslow, Brandi Glanville, Ross Mathews and the other houseguests have partaken every night since January 31 when they entered the house.
The buzz we're hearing ... producers want Omarosa to spill the beans on her tenure in the White House. She's already started, turning on Trump ... saying everyone should be worried about the Prez, saying things in the W.H. are "so bad."
The show used to be stingy in the alcohol department ... it was typical contestants would share 2 bottles of wine and a few 6-packs each night, but producers are worried celebrities play things closer to the vest than the average Joe, so a little alcohol -- or a lot -- always does the trick.
The show has even created a meetin' place for booze-fueled convos -- a new bar.
Omarosa, have another?

Richard Pryor Widow Says Yes, He Did Bang Brando ... And There's No Shame
Richard Pryor had a lot of sex in the '70s -- and it was with both men and women -- including Marlon Brando ... according to Pryor's widow, Jennifer.
Jennifer confirmed the Richard-Marlon hookup, which Quincy Jones first mentioned in a pretty wild Vulture interview. As Q put it, Brando would "f*** anything. Anything! He'd f*** a mailbox. James Baldwin. Richard Pryor. Marvin Gaye." The allegation sent the Internet into a frenzy.
Jennifer tells TMZ ... Richard would have no shame about Quincy's comments. She says the comedic legend was always very open about his bisexuality with friends, and documented it extensively in diaries. Jennifer says she'll publish them later this year.
As for Richard hooking up with Brando -- she says, "It was the '70s! Drugs were still good, especially quaaludes. If you did enough cocaine, you'd f*** a radiator and send it flowers in the morning."
Jennifer says she has no doubt Richard would be cracking up if he heard Quincy spilling the tea.

DJ Khaled Fiancee's Murdered Brother Was at Apt. for Super Bowl, Not Drugs
DJ Khaled's fiancee's murdered brother wasn't involved in a drug deal gone bad and was simply caught in the wrong place at the wrong time when he was shot ... so says a source close to the family.
Nicole Tuck's brother Jonathan was killed in a Bronx apartment Sunday during what the NYPD called a botched weed deal. However, sources close to the family tell us Jonathan was only at the apartment to watch the Super Bowl.

Kevin Hart Wasted Drunk at Super Bowl ... Kicked Off NFL Network
Kevin Hart got HAMMERED at the Super Bowl -- and was so drunk, he dropped an F-Bomb live on the NFL Network.
Can't really blame Hart ... he's a hardcore Eagles fan and he had just watched his team beat the New England Patriots live in Minnesota.
But when they brought him on the "NFL GameDay Prime" post-game show with Deion Sanders and company ... he was hyped up, slurring and, really, 3-sheets to the wind.
After Deion personally escorted him off the stage, Hart left ... and made a drunken Instagram video trying to explain himself. It's pretty hilarious.
Enjoy the hangover.
FYI, Hart was also straight-up REJECTED trying to sneak into the Eagles' post-game celebration. Probably for the best.
Yoooo. Is that Kevin Hart trying to get past security and being denied?!? 😭😭😭😭 #superbowl pic.twitter.com/gzag0XqmAZ
