Michael Lohan may spend the rest of 2025 behind bars ... 'cause a judge ordered him to spend 9 months in jail for violating his probation when he was arrested back in February, TMZ has learned.

The father of Lindsay Lohan was in court Wednesday in Florida, where the judge hit him with jail time, but noted he'll receive a credit of 38 days for time served.

Kanye West is firing off more than just disturbing, antisemitic rants online these days ... the rapper is also making a racket with his SUPER LOUD casting calls, and offending neighbors with a prominent racist hate symbol, in Los Angeles, TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... Kanye plastered L.A.'s Larchmont neighborhood with an "urgent" advertisement seeking "AFRICAN AMERICAN MALES" for his "hooligan choir," which has set up shop in a warehouse near an elementary school.

In the flyers, Kanye requires any prospects cannot be "fat" and must wear all black with the skin complexion of Sean "Diddy" Combs -- who is about to go on trial for alleged racketeering, sex trafficking and other federal crimes. The ad also requires anyone to be "COMFORTABLE WEARING SWASTIKAS," and, of course, there are other conditions.

Justin Bieber is leaving Drew House behind and starting a new venture because he believes his fashion brand no longer represents him ... but sources connected to the company are calling BS on his claims.

Sources connected to Justin tell TMZ … Justin felt Drew House was no longer his and he wanted to distance himself from ex-manager Scooter Braun, who was very much involved in the company. The decision didn't happen overnight ... we're told there was a falling out at Drew House ... the result of some disagreements among the board of directors.

Justin, Scooter, Drew House co-founder Ryan Good, Churchome Pastor Judah Smith and David Bolno were all on the board ... but our Justin sources say trouble started in 2023, when Bolno was mentioned in news reports as a person of interest in the death of aspiring singer Laura Lozano. David was later cleared by police.

Democrats going to war with President Trump over alleged gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia makes perfect sense to D.L. Hughley, who says it's really a battle for what should matter most to all Americans.

Things got heated Tuesday on "TMZ Live" when Harvey suggested Abrego Garcia might not be the hill Democrats wanna die on ... considering he's been accused of beating his wife and having an affiliation with MS-13, an international criminal gang.

D.L. thinks you're missing the point if you think the case is just about one Maryland husband and dad ... he says it's about the Trump administration thinking it can "spirit away" anyone it wants without giving them their day in court.

Bianca Censori makes the routine look sexy ... take random errands around town, for example.

Kanye West's wife was spotted in Spain this week tooling around in her Mercedes G63 AMG on her way to see a wellness healer and a bodyguard.

Jeff Fisher's now the honcho of an arena football league, and he tells TMZ Sports he's looking to grow it drastically in the next year ... perhaps with the help of a few high-profile celebs.

Currently, the league has just eight teams -- but Fisher said there could be as many as 16 by next season.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori are social media official again ... because he just posted a photo with her online after an intimate dinner date overseas.

"Temptation Island" star Shanté Glover’s tumultuous relationship with Brion Whitley finally bit the dust earlier this month -- but her girls had clearly been bracing for the blowup long before it hit.

TMZ caught up with Shanté’s costars Ashley Moore and Tayler Byrd -- and they make it clear they tried steering her away from Brion back on the island … especially after he got real cozy with not one, but two tempters, Alex and Courtney, in that infamous threesome.

ICYMI, Shanté did go back to Brion after the show -- despite all the drama -- and while he tried to redeem things, even recently telling us he regretted the whole threesome mess, it clearly wasn’t enough to keep things afloat.
