2:20 PM PT -- Heather has been officially charged.
Heather Locklear will be slapped with 3 new charges stemming from her arrest when she allegedly attacked a cop and an EMT.

Nick Diaz's Attorney Dom. Violence Case Dropped
3:30PM PT -- Diaz released a statement addressing the case ...
"I'm grateful this case is finally over, I want to thank my team and my lawyer Ross Goodman for the excellent work. But most importantly, I want to thank the fans who stuck by me throughout this process. I'm happy to put this chapter of my life behind me and I'm looking forward to focusing on my return."
Nick Diaz is officially off the hook in his felony domestic violence case ... at least, according to the UFC star's attorney.
As we previously reported ... Diaz was arrested back in May after a woman claimed he slammed her to the ground and choked her in a Las Vegas home.
When cops arrived, officers say the woman had injuries -- she was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Diaz was facing 3 felony domestic violence charges and a misdemeanor -- serious business.
But now, Diaz's attorney Ross Goodman has told ESPN ... prosecutors have thrown out the case and Nick is in the clear.
"[Nick is] grateful the District Attorney's office was fair and thoughtful in reviewing this case based on the evidence," Goodman said to ESPN.
"Truth delayed is better than no truth at all and I trust that the ultimate dismissal of all charges with prejudice will be viewed as total vindication for Nick and clears his name from being associated with such horrific but false allegations."
We spoke with Nick after the incident -- and he joked that he was framed.

Conor McGregor No Match For Khabib's Strength ... Says UFC Star
The biggest fight in UFC history will end in a loss for Conor McGregor -- 'cause he's NEVER fought a dude with strength like Khabib ... so says UFC star Kelvin Gastelum.
Kelvin tells TMZ Sports he's heard all about Khabib from other fighters ... and he sees no way McGregor will be able to overcome his power when they square off at UFC 229.
"Every time somebody speaks about Khabib, they tell me how strong he is and how he feels like a heavyweight once he gets a hold of you," Gastelum says.
"So, I feel like if he grabs a hold of Conor, he's never felt that kind of pressure and I think Khabib will get it done."
Kelvin's bold fight predictions didn't stop there ... 'cause he also tells us he's going to win his upcoming title bout with Robert Whittaker -- and he's even giving us the round it'll end in!!
By the way ... there's still no date set for that fight while Robert recovers from a broken hand.
BUT ... in the meantime, you can watch the two talk trash to each other all season as coaches on "The Ultimate Fighter" -- which debuts Wednesday on FS1.

But Conor clearly wants no part of that ... declining Floyd's offer on Tuesday with a fat middle finger.

Arghhhhh ... the star of the VH1 reality show "Black Ink Crew" is also a PIRATE who allegedly stole the Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor fight -- this according to a new lawsuit.
Ceaser Emanuel -- who owns the Black Ink tattoo shop featured on the show -- is being sued for a FORTUNE after he allegedly rigged the TVs at the parlor to play the fight without paying the proper fees.
Remember, the fight cost most people $99 on Pay-Per-View -- but if you wanted to show the fight in a commercial business, you had to pay thousands of dollars extra in licensing fees.
Well, according to the suit ... Emanuel was so cheap, he tried to bob and weave his way out of the fees by illegally obtaining the fight and showing it at his Atlanta location ... hoping he wouldn't get caught.
Problem is ... the company in charge of the licensing, Joe Hand Promotions, said they busted him red-handed.

50 Cent on 'Power' Yeah, Kanan's Dead ... But (TV) Life Goes On!!
50 Cent will only be showing up on "Power" from here on out in flashbacks -- if at all -- but don't think that's got the guy down ... he's still reaping what the series sows.
We got Fiddy on the streets of NYC -- where his own character Kanan was gunned down by the NYPD in Sunday night's episode (whoops, spoiler alert here) -- and he says he's got no worries about the fate of his show without him ... 'cause true fans are ride or die.

@euphanasia_
50 makes a bold claim -- "Power" is doing very well now, and will continue to do so with or without him on screen. Time will tell, we suppose. Either way, he's got an EP credit attached ... so he'll still have a check coming in from the Starz hit show at the end of the day.
As for that shooting on the set of his newest music video with Tekashi69, which fortunately left no one inured ... get the strap, literally.

Nate Diaz to UFC 'I Bow Down to No One'
Nate Diaz says Bruce Buffer is OUT OF HIS MIND if he thinks he'll ever "bow" to Dana White and the UFC ... saying, "I bow down to no one ever!"
Diaz is reacting to comments Buffer made the other day when Bruce told TMZ Sports ... Nate should stop the complaining about the UFC since he's made MILLIONS fighting in the Octagon.
And instead of being bitter, Bruce said Nate should be "thanking the UFC and bowing to Dana White every time you see him."
We should note that Bruce explained he's a HUGE fan of Nate -- and wants to see Diaz have even more success.
8/23/18
But, Nate didn't take the comments well and fired back at Buffer -- saying, "Bruce Buffer wtf get off the Ufc nuts."
He continued, "[You're] bowing down right now tellling me to bow down? f*ck that u keep bowing down."
"I Bow down to no one ever for alll the money n the world."
Diaz added, "With all do respect @brucebuffer."
And get this ... Buffer has already responded.
"With all respect Nate that is not what I meant by saying the word 'bow,' I meant it as a sign of respect as in when greeting someone, not a sign of submission as I’d never expect you to do that for anyone."
Bruce is one of the nicest guys in the biz -- we're guessing the two will find a way to squash the beef.
As for Nate, he's upset with the UFC -- claiming Dana White and company hasn't promoted him the way he thinks he should be promoted.
White, on the other hand, has said he's offered Diaz several fights over the years but Nate has turned them all down for no good reason.
Diaz accepted a fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 230 in November -- but he's already threatened to pull out, claiming he's still pissed at the UFC.

Logan Paul vs. KSI It's a Draw!!! ... But Jake Defeats Deji
The YouTube superstars' superfight night in Manchester, England -- featuring Logan Paul vs. KSI and Jake Paul vs. Deji -- is over ... after the judges called the second battle of the bros a draw.
The 2 went the 6-round distance in an entertaining and exhausting fight, but in the end KSI's hand was raised ... along with Logan's.
The judges' scorecards came out to a majority draw, which can only mean one thing -- REMATCH!!
As for the fight ... Logan dominated the first 2 rounds by landing a number of jabs and body shots, but the momentum seemed to turn after KSI threw a cheap shot after the bell at the end of round 2 ... causing Jake to angrily jump in the ring.
After that, KSI's energy level looked much higher than Logan's -- especially in the final round -- as he threw a series of violent haymakers ... many of which connected.
Earlier, Logan's younger bro Jake defeated Deji in the 5th round by knockout after wearing him down with a flurry of punches in the previous 2 rounds. Deji's corner threw in the towel as Jake continued his barrage in the fifth.
The 2 were aggressive from the opening bell, throwing jabs and hooks and landing head and body shots galore ... and Jake's bloody face in round 1 showed the damage.
He was able to recover, though ... and seemed to have more stamina and composure as the fight went on.
As we reported ... Logan and KSI came face-to-face Friday for weigh-ins one final time before they entered the ring to pummel each other ... and brought the insults.
KSI decided to go after L.P.'s girlfriend, Chloe Bennet ... by walking onto the stage wearing a mask of the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." star's face. Logan hit back with a jab at KSI's apparent bad breath ... by giving him some gum.
Both bros have been training like maniacs for months, with KSI crushing his boxing workouts and Logan brutalizing his sparring partner in a training sesh.
As for the Jake fight ... he predicted a 1st-round KO of Deji when asked by legendary boxing announcer Michael Buffer at Friday's weigh-in. Deji responded by calling Jake "delusional."
Two days earlier ... Jake slapped Deji in the face when KSI's little bro crashed his gym where he was meeting up with fans for autographs and pics.
But none of that matters now ... to the victor go the spoils.
