Court Rejects KKKrazy Lawsuit Against Dr. Drew

Published | Updated

Dr. Drew has one less bone to pick with his alleged stalker -- because that crazy lawsuit filed by the man who allegedly threatened to murder the doctor's family just got dismissed.

An L.A. Superior Court judge threw out Charles Pearson's small claims suit against the "Loveline" doc after both parties failed to show up to court Monday.

Pearson -- who was arrested last week and charged with felony stalking -- filed the lawsuit against Dr. Drew on February 8 claiming the doc was a member of the KKK and owed him $2,500 for performing "illegal surgery" on him.

Pearson is currently being held on $400,000 bail.

Lil Wayne Arrives at Rikers Island

Published | Updated

Lil Wayne has arrived at Rikers Island jail in New York -- which means he only has 364-and-a-half more days to go.

Weezy arrived to the NY jail in a corrections van -- we're told because the rapper is a "high-profile inmate," he was not transported with any other prisoners.

As of now, we're told the rapper is still undergoing the admissions procedure at the jail -- which entails a physical & mental health exam & questionnaire.

It has yet to be determined whether Lil Wayne will be in the general population at Rikers -- or if he will be given his own cell.

And since moving can make any convicted felon hungry, the jail chef has the perfect dish for Wayne's first night -- noodles with beef sausage & marinara sauce, steamed greens, a mixed green salad, whole wheat bread, sliced peaches & a fruit drink or tea.

Weezy was sentenced to a year in the big house for a gun charge -- but he could be out sooner if he stays on his best behavior.

Ben Roethlisberger Photographed With Accuser

Published | Updated

Ben Roethlisberger had his arm around his accuser before the alleged assault ... and she had a big grin as she wrapped her arms around him. No doubt Ben's lawyer -- rightly or wrongly -- will make hay of this.

We now know the accuser's identity -- we will not post the picture in this story. A photo of the two taken at Capital City bar in Milledgeville, Georgia shortly before the alleged incident shows a cozy scene -- at least at that moment in time.

Of course, a photo never tells the whole story, and the mood could have darkened in an instant. Police sources tell TMZ the woman claims Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her in the women's bathroom.

And, other women in the bar also posed for photos with Roethlisberger before the alleged incident.
