Zach Bryan was none too pleased with the cop who pulled over his security guard for speeding, unleashing a verbal attack and threatening to get government officials involved after he was placed in handcuffs.

The police report, obtained by TMZ, explains Bryan's security guard was initially pulled over in Vinita, Oklahoma for driving 78 in a 55. That's when Bryan, driving a black Ram TRX pickup truck also pulled over, got out of his vehicle and began questioning the officer as to what was taking so long.

Cops say they asked Bryan twice to get back in his truck, informing him he'd be taken to jail if he didn't comply ... to which Bryan replied, "I'll go to jail, let's do it."

The report states the officer continued to explain to Bryan how his actions had interfered in the initial traffic stop, and Bryan said his arrest was, "why people do not like police officers."

Things only escalated from there, Bryan asked to be let out of the handcuffs and promised he'd get back in his truck while also allegedly stating, "If you don't, it is going to be a mistake sir. I promise." Adding, "This is the second time this has happened in 3 days. These f***ing cops are out of control."

Bryan wasn't done yet, allegedly stating, "You boys need checked, a bunch of f***in middle aged white dudes arresting people."

The arresting officer informed Bryan he wasn't going to be taking off the handcuffs, and had spoken with the Assistant District Attorney who said the arrest was legit. That's when cops say Bryan became somewhat apologetic, while also threatening to get the Mayor involved.

Bryan was traveling with his dog and called his father to come and pick up the pooch. Cops say when Bryan was on the phone with his dad, his dad said he'd be getting the Governor of Oklahoma involved.

As we reported, Bryan posted a video Friday explaining the details of the arrest, and that he had also been pulled over just a few days before for a speeding violation.

Danny Masterson is being kept under constant surveillance behind bars ... just in case he starts to show any signs of mental distress after being sentenced to 30 years in prison.

The "That '70s Show" star is in jail as he awaits a transfer to a California state prison, where he'll serve out the 30-year to life sentence for his rape conviction.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Danny is under 24-hour video surveillance, and deputies come by his cell every 30 minutes to check on him ... with the goal of keeping tabs on his mental state and making sure he's safe.

Should Danny show any signs of mental distress or tell his team or a deputy about a mental health issue, we're told he would be taken for a mental health exam, STAT.

Danny's certainly got a lot on his mind. As we reported, he was sentenced Thursday to 30 years in prison after being convicted on 2 rape counts.

Shawn Holley, Danny's lawyer, tells TMZ ... the actor is mentally strong and feels confident his conviction will be overturned on appeal, based on his meetings with several top appellate attorneys.

Danny's already familiar with life behind bars ... as we first reported, he was kept in L.A. County Men's Central Jail for months as he awaited sentencing, staying in the same area as other high-profile inmates, including Suge Knight and O.J. Simpson.

Danny Masterson está siendo vigilado constantemente tras las rejas, en acaso de que muestre algún signo de angustia después de ser condenado a 30 años de prisión.

Fuentes policiales dicen a TMZ que Danny está bajo vigilancia de video las 24 horas, y los oficiales están visitando su celda cada 30 minutos para no perder de vista su estado mental y asegurarse de que esté a salvo.

En caso de que Danny muestre cualquier signo de angustia o le diga a su equipo o a algún funcionario policial que tiene algún problema de este tipo, sería llevado a realizarse un examen de salud mental, según se nos ha dicho.

Danny ciertamente tiene mucho en su mente. Como informamos, fue condenado el jueves a 30 años de prisión tras ser declarado culpable de dos cargos por violación.

Shawn Holley, abogado de Danny, dice a TMZ que el actor es fuerte y se siente seguro de que su condena será anulada en apelación, sobre la base de las reuniones que ha tenido con varios abogados.

Zach Bryan got arrested in Oklahoma ... TMZ has learned.

The country music star was arrested Thursday in Vinita, OK and booked on an obstruction of investigation charge ... according to online jail records.

TMZ obtained Zach's mug shot, which he took at Craig County Jail, and he's mostly without an expression.

It's unclear what led to his arrest.

On the same day he was arrested, Zach's Instagram account posted a photo of farmland from a car window, with the caption ... "On the road again, gonna go see the birds win."

Zach's an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan and the NFL team plays its season-opening game Sunday against the New England Patriots in Massachusetts ... so it's possible Zach was driving to the game when he got busted.

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are once again a dynamic duo, but this time they've brought their "Bongos" ... and they want you to check 'em out.

On Thursday evening, Cardi released her comeback album single, one fans have been waiting on since her debut project back in 2018 ... and it doesn't disappoint in the skintastic department.

Both rap stars swapped through multiple outfit changes ... mostly bikinis, matching the steamy artwork for the single, which they've been teasing for several days.

Both Cardi and Meg lyrically flex on the track, which employs a Latin-tinged sound, the perfect music bed for Cardi to add a little flavor in Spanish.

"Bongos" is also Megan's first musical release since Tory Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting her the same year "WAP" blew up.

Some fans lucky enough to get a signed CD of "Bongos" from Cardi will be privy to a collectible for the books ... since it appears a few will have her essence all over them!!!

Nina Agdal won't have to worry about Dillon Danis posting any more sexually explicit images of her online without facing serious consequences.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, a New Jersey Court has granted Logan Paul's fiancée a temporary restraining order against Paul's upcoming fight opponent.

The docs prohibit Danis from, "posting content in any way depicting or portraying Plaintiff that Defendant knows or has reason to believe was never meant to be shared publicly or was obtained without consent, through the hacking of any of Plaintiff’s accounts or devices, or through any other illegal or unauthorized means."

The documents also place the same rules on people associated with Danis.

TMZ Sports broke the story, Agdal sued Danis and requested the restraining order Wednesday after weeks of social media harassment from Dillon on Twitter and elsewhere.

She specifically highlighted a sexually explicit image Danis posted on Twitter of Nina and another person from "a romantic encounter" taken more than 10 years ago.

The lawsuit stated, "Danis posted the photograph -- entirely uncensored -- from his X (Twitter) account, without Plaintiff's consent" The docs continued, "Later that day, Danis reposted the explicit photograph in order to maximize the number of views it would receive."

Famed plastic surgeon Lenny Hochstein is dragging a Florida plant store to court ... claiming the company made off with a bunch of plants from his home, years after he paid for them.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Lenny says he dropped thousands of dollars on plants from Threlkel Botanicals back in 2020 ... but he claims the store started removing plants and trees from his Miami mansion last week while his estranged wife Lisa Hochstein was moving out.

Lenny, who is divorcing 'The Real Housewives of Miami' star, claims he directly told the store and its owner, Jim Threlkel, not to take the plants from the property ... but Lenny says they were removed anyway.

In the docs, Lenny is crying foul ... he says removing the plants he bought amounts to theft and trespassing.

Lenny also claims Jim acted with "felonious intent and knew he was taking property he was not entitled to."

Lisa and Lenny's divorce has been pretty nasty -- he's already engaged to another woman -- and now Threlkel Botanicals is being pulled into the fray.

Lenny's going after the store to get the plants back and/or damages, and he claims those damages exceed $50K!!!

We reached out to Threlkel Botanicals ... so far no word back.

5:32 PM PT -- Danny Masterson suena confiado de que conseguirá la anulación de sus sentencias en el proceso de apelación.

Uno de los abogados de Danny, Shawn Holley, dice a TMZ: "Durante los últimos meses, un equipo de los mejores abogados en apelación del país ha estado revisando las transcripciones del juicio, y han identificado importantes cuestiones probatorias y constitucionales que abordarán en los tribunales de apelación estatales y federales."

Holley continúa: "Los errores que se produjeron en este caso son sustanciales y, lamentablemente, condujeron a veredictos que no están respaldados por las pruebas".

"Y aunque tenemos un gran respeto por el jurado en este caso y por nuestro sistema de justicia en general, a veces se equivocan. Y eso es lo que ocurrió aquí", agrega.

El abogado concluye: "El Sr. Masterson no cometió los delitos por los que ha sido condenado y nosotros, y los abogados de apelación, los mejores y más brillantes del país, estamos seguros de que estas condenas serán anuladas."

Danny Masterson finalmente ha recibido su condena a 30 años en prisión, después de meses de ser declarado culpable de dos cargos de violación.

La estrella de "That '70s Show" fue sentenciado el jueves por un tribunal de Los Ángeles. Enfrentaba 30 años de cárcel después de ser declarado culpable de dos de sus tres cargos, por lo que la sentencia no es tan sorprendente.

Como informamos, fue declarado culpable de estos dos cargos en mayo. Se le acusó por primera vez en 2020, cuando tres mujeres declararon que los incidentes se habían producido entre 2001 y 2003, mientras él trabajaba en la serie de comedia.

Recordemos que Masterson tuvo un juicio en octubre pasado, pero terminó nulo un mes más tarde después de que el jurado no pudiera llegar a una decisión. El equipo del actor intentó que se desestimara, pero finalmente fue juzgado de nuevo y condenado.

Su abogado, Philip Cohen, nos dijo tras la anulación del juicio de Masterson que el caso "no trataba de otra cosa más que de la credibilidad de las tres denunciantes y que la credibilidad sólo se podía determinar comparando, contrastando y centrándose en las declaraciones en constante evolución de las mujeres."

Danny Masterson has finally been sentenced, months after he was convicted on 2 rape counts, to 30 years to life behind bars.

The "That '70s Show" star was sentenced Thursday to 30 years in a Los Angeles court. He was facing 30 years to life after being found guilty on 2 of his 3 counts ... so the sentence isn't all that surprising.

As we reported, he was convicted on the 2 counts in May, but the jury was hung on the 3rd count. He was first charged back in 2020, with the 3 women saying the incidents went down between 2001 and 2003 -- as he was working on his comedy series.

Remember, Masterson had a trial last October, but it ended in a mistrial a month later after the jury was unable to reach a decision. The actor's team tried to get it dismissed, but he was eventually retried and convicted.

His attorney, Philip Cohen, told us after Masterson's mistrial that the case was "about nothing other than the credibility of the three accusers and that credibility could only be determined by comparing, contrasting and focusing on the ever-evolving statements given by the women."

After being found guilty, we learned Masterson wasn't put in lockup with the general population at the L.A. County Men's Central Jail -- where he's been awaiting his sentence -- but instead was in "administrative segregation" ... where high-profile inmates like O.J. Simpson and Suge Knight have stayed in the past.

Desiigner wants to put his recent past as a mid-flight masturbator behind him ... agreeing to a plea deal that he hopes will allow him to avoid jail time!!!

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Desiigner is set to enter the guilty plea Sept. 8 agreeing to the recommended sentence of 2 years probation, 120 hours of community service, a $5K fine and a public apology to the flight attendants.

We broke the story ... the "Panda" rapper was busted after returning home on a flight from Japan where prosecutors say he told flight attendants he was "brick hard."

He allegedly dropped a jar of lubricating Vaseline in the aisle and eventually had to be monitored for the duration of the flight.

Following the incident, Desiigner immediately apologized, and claims he's attended 19 court-appointed counseling/therapy sessions since the incident ... he also says he voluntarily submitted himself for drug testing, which he says came back clean.

Desiigner's attorney is asking the judge not to impose any travel restrictions that would slow his movement as a professional musician, insisting he has tours planned for all over the world in 2023-24.

Desiigner's management team also stated he's been pouring his "heart and soul" into his upcoming music as part of his personal growth.

Ja Rule's decided 50 Cent's controversial hurling of a microphone at the head of a radio host is too sweet a moment to pass up -- so, he's rubbing the incident in his longtime rival's face!!!

Ja compiled several clips on Instagram, which included 50's performance from Super Bowl LVI and Power 106's Bryhana Monegain's facial injuries from the thrown mic.

"We ain't forget… Enjoy those criminal charges and lawsuit d***head!!!" Ja quipped on IG while adding hashtags to his alcohol brands just like 50 does on all his own posts.

50 initially fired the first shot ... clowning Ja's recent Jesus-esque performance but the Murda Inc. rapper took it to a whole 'nother level throwing digs and 50's pending legal drama.

As we reported, 50 is a suspect in the felony battery case LAPD opened after the rapper's mic meltdown.

While, 50's lawyer says the potential charge is ridiculous ... Ja seems to find it quite funny!!!

One person who's clearly not amused is Bryhana, who told us she blacked out after the impact.

NFL tight end Jimmy Graham can enter the 2023 season breathing a sigh of relief -- TMZ Sports has learned the New Orleans Saints star will NOT face criminal charges following his training camp arrest.

We're told the Orange County District Attorney's Office decided not to move forward with the case due to insufficient evidence ... meaning Graham will not have any potential legal trouble hanging over his head stemming from the Aug. 18 incident leading up to Week 1.

We broke the story -- 36-year-old Graham was arrested near a Newport Beach resort after cops say they observed him walking in traffic. When they tried to take him into custody, he resisted.

We obtained video of Graham prior to the arrest ... showing staffers chasing him as he ran through the resort grounds.

According to the arrest report, officers believed he was under the influence of a stimulant ... but the team said Graham may have experienced a medical episode, as he was taken to a nearby hospital later that night.

Graham was booked on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance and resisting, delaying and obstructing a police officer -- both misdemeanors -- but as of now, he's in the clear.

Graham -- who is making his return to the field after sitting out the 2022 season -- has since rejoined the team and made the 53-man roster.

Cash Money Records legend B.G. has several special conditions to fulfill now that he's released from prison after 11 years -- and his duties will benefit his community, as well as B.G. himself.

Court docs obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, outline the terms of B.G.'s 2 years of supervised release which make it mandatory he participate in an approved drug/alcohol treatment program ... in addition to a program designed to better orient one's life skills.

The 42-year-old rapper is also required to perform 400 hours of unpaid community service and is barred from possessing firearms and other dangerous weapons. He also must cooperate in the collection of DNA as directed by his probation officer.

And, then there's his education ... the court's ordered B.G. to actively pursue a GED or vocational training equivalent in order to better set him up for future employment.

The chances B.G. will be spotted working a 9-to-5 are pretty slim. After being released into the world Tuesday, he promised fans he'd return to musical form soon enough and has been enjoying his freedom alongside Cash Money boss Birdman ... who might help him make good on that promise.

Hot Boys' rapper Turk is also waiting in the wings, telling TMZ Hip Hop ... fans can anticipate a reunion just like in the "Bling Bling" days!!!

Kroy Biermann is tired of petty swipes with his estranged wife, Kim Zolciak, amid their divorce, and he's making one urgent plea ... sign off on the sale of their home, STAT.

The ex-NFL star's attorney, Marlys A. Bergstrom, tells us ... Kim's recent on-camera suggestion that Kroy asking a court to let him put the Georgia mansion on the market was actually her idea is simply posturing ... and it's meaningless considering how dire things are.

Bergstrom says Kroy is over all the gamesmanship and simply wants what's in the best interest of everyone involved -- including their 4 children -- and that boils down to selling this house yesterday, collecting whatever equity they can and paying off a ton of debt.

Per KB's attorney, the family's deep in the hole right now -- well north of a million bucks -- and they're also on the verge of having their home foreclosed on for good ... despite Kroy's best efforts to sell personal items and make mortgage payments.

Unless they act soon, we're told, they'll be out on the streets ... with other bill collectors continuing to come after them. Bergstrom says the only way to rectify their financial situation in one fell swoop is to sell the house -- and Kroy is basically begging his wife to come to the table and sign a joint consent agreement that'll get this ball rolling.

Kroy has gone to court in the meantime since he says Kim has failed to meet him halfway -- requesting an emergency hearing to get permission from a judge directly -- but Bergstrom says all that is unnecessary if Kim just plays ball.

Bergstrom tells us Kroy isn't out to hurt Kim, nor does he want to one-up her -- right now, his only focus is protecting their children and helping the family move forward.

Bottom line ... Kroy wants to turn the page, but feels his wife has her head buried in the sand. While she's gallivanting in L.A. -- his lawyer says he's in Georgia trying to navigate their money nightmare ... and he needs her to come back to Earth to face the music.

Al Pacino and Noor Alfallah have called it quits after more than a year of dating ... and now they're in court trying to iron out child custody issues.

Alfallah got the ball rolling, filing a petition in L.A. Superior Court in which she asks a judge for full physical custody of their 3-month-old son, Roman Alfallah Pacino.

In the docs, Alfallah says Pacino should have reasonable visitation with Roman and joint legal custody, which means both parents would have a say in major decisions impacting the child from education to medical needs.

Alfallah also attached a Voluntary Declaration of Parentage to her petition, proving she and Pacino are the mother and father of Roman.

She went on to request the legendary actor pay for all of her attorney fees and other legal costs. Child support payments were not addressed in the court filing, but it's almost certainly going to become an issue.

The sudden turn in their relationship -- which began in April 2022 -- stands in stark contrast to where they were just a few months ago.

TMZ broke the story in June ... 83-year-old Pacino became a daddy after 29-year-old Alfallah gave birth to their son at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A. The two were ecstatic over their new bundle of enjoy, hitting the town for a celebration dinner at Sunset Tower in West Hollywood.

Now, the celebration is over, and a new reality has set in.

La ex esposa de Kevin Costner, Christine Baumgartner, está en una racha perdedora, ya que acaba de ser condenada a pagar los honorarios del abogado de Kevin por algunas de sus travesuras.

Como ya informamos, el mes pasado la abogada de Kevin, la reina en divorcios, Laura Wasser, preguntó a Christine si entendía el acuerdo prematrimonial que firmó. Es una pregunta importante porque hay indicios de que Christine impugnará el acuerdo prematrimonial, y entenderlo antes de firmarlo es crucial.

Christine y sus abogados esencialmente dijeron que no entendían lo que significaba "entender".

Hubo MUCHAS idas y vueltas entre los abogados, y la factura de Kevin por intentar obtener una respuesta a la pregunta ascendió a 14.237,50 dólares.

El caso volvió este miércoles a los tribunales, cuando el juez determinó que Christine debe pagar una factura de más de 14.000 dólares a Kevin.

La resolución se produce días después de que Kevin ganara una gran victoria sobre la manutención de sus hijos. Christine pedía 248.000 dólares al mes, pero Kevin argumentó que la cantidad realista y adecuada era de unos 63.000 dólares al mes. El juez aprobó los 63.000 dólares.
