9:50 AM PT -- Más problemas con el abogado de Duane "Keefe D" Davis, y la lectura de cargos se ha pospuesto una vez más. La nueva fecha es el 2 de noviembre a las 9 AM.

Duane "Keefe D" Davis, el hombre detenido por presuntamente matar a Tupac Shakur está a punto de aparecer en la corte para enfrentar el cargo de asesinato a casi 30 años del caso.

Está programado que el sospechoso de 60 años aparezca en la Corte del Condado de Clark en Las Vegas alrededor de las 9 AM del jueves, en donde comparecerá ante la jueza Tierra D. Jones para su lectura de cargos.

Keefe D estuvo en la corte hace 2 semanas, pero el abogado que contrató no se presentó. Su comparecencia fue aplazada para el jueves.

El fiscal del Condado de Clark, Steve Wolfson, dijo en una conferencia de prensa después de la audiencia inicial que se esperaba que Keefe D se declarase no culpable del cargo de asesinato con el uso de un arma mortal, en relación con el tiroteo de Tupac en 1996.

Como informamos, Keefe D fue detenido a finales de septiembre. Además de la acusación de asesinato, el sospechoso fue acusado de ayudar a las pandillas, en un cargo conocido como gang enhacement en inglés.

TMZ obtuvo imágenes de su detención, que muestran a los policías caminando hacia él en una calle residencial y Keefe actuando bastante obediente durante todo el arresto.

Los policías dicen que reabrieron el caso 27 años después de la muerte de Tupac porque Keefe había sido franco en las entrevistas sobre su participación en el asesinato del rapero.

Jussie Smollett tiene un nuevo look mientras sigue adelante.

La estrella de "Empire" apareció el miércoles luciendo la cabeza rapada mientras recibe tratamiento ambulatorio en un centro de rehabilitación.

Jussie llevaba un libro de "Narcóticos Anónimos" mientras entraba en el centro de rehabilitación, donde está recibiendo tratamiento por abuso de sustancias.

TMZ publico la historia, Jussie ha estado luchando contra las drogas. Su representante nos dice: "Jussie ha tenido unos últimos años extremadamente difíciles. Él ha estado trabajando en silencio muy duro desde hace algún tiempo y estamos orgullosos de él por tomar estas medidas necesarias".

El actor sigue luchando contra su condena por fingir un crimen de odio en Chicago allá por 2019, cuando aseguró que dos partidarios de Trump enmascarados le atacaron y le pusieron una soga en el cuello.

Jussie fue condenado a 150 días de cárcel por el incidente, pero fue puesto en libertad mientras su caso es apelado. Esa apelación aún está pendiente.

La naturaleza del abuso de sustancias no ha sido revelada, pero el consumo de drogas se mencionó bastante durante su juicio.

Jussie Smollett has a new look as he turns over a new leaf.

The "Empire" star was out and about Wednesday sporting a shaved head as he gets outpatient treatment at a rehab facility.

Jussie was carrying a "Narcotics Anonymous" book as he walked into the rehab center, where he's getting treatment for substance abuse.

TMZ broke the story, Jussie has been struggling, with his rep telling us ... "Jussie has had an extremely difficult past few years. He has quietly been working very hard for some time now and we are proud of him for taking these necessary steps."

The actor is still fighting his conviction for faking a hate crime in Chicago back in 2019, when he claimed two masked Trump supporters attacked him and put a noose around his neck.

Jussie was sentenced to 150 days in jail for the incident, but released from jail while his case is appealed. That appeal is still pending.

The nature of the substance abuse has not been disclosed, but drug use was mentioned quite a bit during his trial.

Tori Spelling and her kids had a terrifying Wednesday after a SWAT team looking for a man with an assault rifle turned her block upside down.

Tori and co., along with her neighbors, were ordered to evacuate, and no one needed any encouragement to skedaddle.

Witnesses say the talk on the block was that a man next door to Tori's rental house was barricaded inside with an AR-15. Police took one man into custody.

Tori appeared visibly upset as she raced home in a full sprint ... frantically looking for her children. The actress and her family were in the thick of the action.

Tori stood behind the yellow police caution tape as the standoff played out ... and she was talking with neighbors and taking phone calls.

7:00 PM PT -- Trey Songz's attorney, Michael Freedman, tells TMZ, "This is yet another example of nearly decade-old allegations being repurposed to take advantage of California's constitutionally questionable new look back window. We look forward to vindicating Trey on the merits in court."

Trey Songz is being sued by two women who claim they passed out at his house party only to wake up to him forcing himself on them with nonconsensual sex.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the women are accusing Trey of sexual assault and battery for an alleged 2015 incident at his Los Angeles-area estate.

In the docs, the women say they first met Trey in June 2015 when they went to his concert and got invited to an after-party he was hosting. They say subsequent interactions led them to be invited to his home in August for his birthday party.

The women claim they took an Uber to Trey's home and were forced to give a password and turn over the phones to gain admittance. Inside, they say it was mostly women and only a handful of men, and the ladies were pressured to drink alcohol from unsealed bottles.

In the suit, the women say they suddenly felt overwhelmingly intoxicated, despite drinking what they felt was a modest amount ... and believe they were drugged.

They claim they sat on a couch by the pool and that's when Trey swooped in and led them to an upstairs bedroom where they passed out with their clothes on.

The next morning, the women say the woke up naked ... with a naked Trey forcing himself on them.

One woman claims Trey was giving her nonconsensual oral sex. She says she tried to resist but he overpowered her.

The other woman claims she woke up to Trey biting her nipple and forcing his fingers inside her vagina.

In the suit, the women say Trey demanded they take a shower with him after the alleged sexual attacks ... but they say they refused and he became enraged, yelling at them ..."You are little f****** girls, get the f*** out of my house."

The women say they grabbed their clothes and tried to leave, but Trey refused to turn over their phones. Eventually, they say a security guard intervened, gave them their phones from a safe, and they called an Uber.

In their suit, the women say they've suffered lasting injuries from the alleged incident ... and they're going after Trey for damages.

We reached out to Trey's camp ... so far no word back.

Jussie Smollett is getting help through a rehab treatment facility ... TMZ has confirmed with a rep from Smollett's camp.

The rep tells us, "Jussie has had an extremely difficult past few years. He has quietly been working very hard for some time now and we are proud of him for taking these necessary steps." We're told Smollett is in an outpatient program.

Smollett's rehab stint comes amid his ongoing appeal in his Chicago criminal case. As we've reported, Jussie was found guilty of lying to cops about an alleged attack back in 2019 where he claimed two masked Trump supporters attacked him and put a noose around his neck.

Jussie was sentenced to 150 days in jail for the incident, but was released from jail for his appeal a short time after the sentence. He's been spotted working on film sets here in California as the legal process plays out -- including a project with Vivica A. Fox -- where he seemed to be directing.

JS has also been hanging out with his former "Empire" costar, Taraji P. Henson, spotted on a hike in L.A. -- so, he hasn't necessarily been trying to lay low ... even hitting the BET Awards last year, catching a bit of flack from folks who were shocked to see him attend.

Though we don't know exactly what he's getting treated for ... drug use was mentioned quite a bit during his trial. The Osundairo brothers -- who claimed Jussie hired to be his attackers -- took to the stand to claim they were also his dealers ... and they supplied him with illegal substances on a number of occasions.

Myke Towers isn't looking to follow in his fellow Puerto Rican trapper Bad Bunny's footsteps by locking down a celeb relationship -- a la Kendall Jenner -- instead, the "LALA" artist says he has options, and he's ready to explore 'em!!!

TMZ Hip Hop quizzed the Reggaeton megastar about his relationship status outside 'Jimmy Kimmel,' and while he played it coy, Myke ultimately told us the single life works best for him now.

He made it clear, he doesn't want to piss off his existing roster of women. Yeah, we know, first-world playboy problems!!!

It's not hard to see why Myke is iffy on tying down the right one, he's been crackin' since winning the "Best New Artist" at the Billboard Latin Music Awards a couple of years ago.

He dropped his recent album "La Vida Es Una" back in March ... and his track "LALA" has been racking up platinum plaques in the Latin market left and right.

We also inquired about Tekashi 6ix9ine's current standing amongst fans in P.R., especially in light of his recent legal drama in the Dominican Republic for alleged assault.

The chiropractor to a ton of Hollywood stars -- ranging from the Kardashians to Logan Paul and Kevin Hart -- won't be providing services any time soon ... cuz he's now behind bars.

Dr. Patrick Khaziran is famous for appearing on "The Kardashians" and working with huge names like Jamie Foxx and Diddy ... but he got busted for his role in a fraud scheme with former NBA players and is now locked up at USP Lompoc in California.

Known as "Dr. Pat" to the Kardashians, he's featured on the latest episode of the famous family's Hulu series ... getting high praise from Khloe, who is trying to sell him as the answer to Scott Disick's lingering back problems from a 2022 car accident.

In the episode, Scott and Khloe pay Dr. Pat a visit at his chiropractic office in Los Angeles ... which prosecutors claimed was at the center of a scheme to defraud the NBA's health plan out of millions.

The feds say Dr. Pat created fraudulent invoices former NBA players used to bill the league's healthcare plan for medical services that were never actually provided.

The FBI says Dr. Pat was part of the fraud scheme from at least 2016 to 2019 ... during which the feds say he cost the NBA health plan $1.3 million in losses, pocketing $439K for himself and splitting the rest of the dough with former NBA players.

Dr. Pat, who is also a favorite of current NBA players Tristan Thompson and Justise Winslow, was ultimately convicted ... and in February he was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

La vida de Natalee Holloway se apagó de una manera enferma y brutal luego de que ella rechazó sexualmente a su asesino, Joran van der Sloot.

En documentos legales, obtenidos por TMZ, van der Sloot admite haber matado a Holloway en una transcripción de una confesión hecha a su abogado, donde expone los últimos minutos de su vida.

Joran dice que él y Natalee estaban caminando por la playa en Aruba después de una noche de fiesta en un bar local. Dice que los dos encontraron un espacio en la arena, se acostaron y empezaron a besarse. Joran le dice a su abogado: "Empiezo a tocarla otra vez y ella me dice que no. Me dijo que no quería que la tocara. Yo insisto. Sigo tocandola de cualquier".

Enojado, Joran dice que Natalee le da un rodillazo en la entrepierna y él se levanta y le da una patada "extremadamente fuerte" en la cara y la deja inconsciente.

En una confesión repugnante, van der Sloot dice que coge un bloque de hormigón y la golpea en la cabeza con él: "Le aplasto la cabeza con él completamente".

Inseguro de qué hacer con su cuerpo, van der Sloot dice que luego la lleva al agua, caminando hasta que está cerca de la rodilla y la empuja hacia fuera en el agua para que se la lleven.

Como hemos informado, van der Sloot estaba en la corte en Alabama el miércoles, donde participó en una declaración de culpabilidad de los cargos de fraude electrónico y extorsión después de decirle a la familia que iba a dar detalles de su muerte por dinero.

Sorprendentemente, van der Sloot ofreció una disculpa a la familia el miércoles, diciendo que había encontrado la religión, pero eso no funcionó con la madre de Holloway —Beth— quien dijo que siempre sería un asesino.

Natalee Holloway's life was ended in a sick and brutal way after she refused sexual advances from her killer, Joran van der Sloot.

In legal docs, obtained by TMZ, van der Sloot admits to killing Holloway in a transcript of a confession made to his attorney ... where he lays out the final minutes of her life.

Joran says he and Natalee were walking along the beach in Aruba after a late night out at a local bar. He says the two found a space on the sand, laid down, and started to kiss. Joran tells his attorney, "I start feeling her up again and she tells me no. She tells me she doesn't want me to - to feel her up. Uh, I insist. I keep feeling her up either way."

Angered by his advances, Joran says Natalee then knees him in the crotch ... and he stands up and kicks her "extremely hard" in the face and knocking her out.

In a sickening confession, van der Sloot then says he grabs a nearby cinder block and smashes her in the head with it ... "I smash her head in with it completely."

Unsure of what to do with her body, van der Sloot says he then carries her into the water, walking until he's about knee-deep and pushes her out into the water to be carried away.

As we reported, van der Sloot was in court in Alabama Wednesday where he entered a guilty plea to charges of wire fraud and extortion after telling the family he'd give up details of her death for money.

Shockingly enough, van der Sloot offered up an apology to the family Wednesday, saying he'd found religion ... but that didn't work with Holloway's mother, Beth, who said he'd always be a killer.

El misterio sobre la famosa desaparición de Natalee Holloway se ha aclarado de una vez por todas, porque el principal sospechoso acaba de admitir que la mató e intentó estafar a su familia.

Joran van der Sloot apareció en un tribunal de Alabama el miércoles, donde los fiscales le dijeron al tribunal que van der Sloot había confesado a los padres de Holloway que había tomado su vida. Al parecer, la apaleó hasta la muerte después de que ella rechazó sus insinuaciones sexuales, esto de acuerdo con la madre de Holloway, Beth, que también habló.

Ella dijo: "Usted no consiguió lo que quería de Natalee, su satisfacción sexual, por lo que brutalmente la mató", añadiendo que él "terminó con sus sueños, su potencial, sus posibilidades". En cuanto a lo que ocurrió con los restos de Natalee (que hasta ahora se desconocía) no se abordó explícitamente en el juicio.

Van der Sloot se declaró culpable de los cargos de fraude electrónico y extorsión a los que se enfrentaba aquí en EE.UU. El caso, aunque indirectamente vinculado a la muerte de Holloway, estaba inextricablemente relacionado con su desaparición.

Curiosamente, van der Sloot expresó remordimiento por el asesinato, diciendo que se había convertido en un cristiano nacido de nuevo, pero la madre de Holloway dijo que siempre sería un asesino sin importar nada.

El caso es un poco complicado, sobre todo porque ella desapareció hace casi 20 años en la isla de Aruba. Los funcionarios en Estados Unidos terminaron acusándolo por tratar de venderle información a la familia de Holloway sobre dónde estaban sus restos, Beth dice que en realidad pagó por desesperación.

Como parte de este acuerdo con la fiscalía, van der Sloot se vio obligado a aclarar finalmente los detalles de la desaparición de Holloway en 2005 y ahora lo ha hecho.

Holloway —que tenía 18 años— estaba en un viaje de graduación de la escuela secundaria en el territorio holandés y los testigos dicen que la vieron salir de un bar con van der Sloot y otros dos hombres, que desde hace tiempo se sospecha que estaban involucrados en el caso.

Los tres hombres fueron detenidos un par de veces durante los últimos años en relación con la desaparición de Holloway, pero también fueron liberados por falta de pruebas. Van der Sloot, sin embargo, es el que ha caído en el punto de mira de los EE.UU., ya que lo acusó en 2010, alegando que había tratado de extorsionar y estafar a la familia Holloway.

Aunque fue acusado en Estados Unidos hace más de una década no había sido extraditado hasta principios de este año, como parte de un acuerdo con el gobierno peruano. Verás, en realidad está cumpliendo una pena de prisión allí por un caso totalmente diferente, donde un tribunal lo declaró culpable de asesinar a otra mujer, Stephany Flores.

De todos modos, una vez que esto se resuelva, se informa que será enviado de vuelta a Perú para terminar su condena, y después de eso, presumiblemente regresará a Estados Unidos para comenzar a cumplir cualquier castigo que reciba como parte de este caso.

La historia de Holloway fue uno de los mayores casos de desaparición en la memoria reciente y su familia la declaró legalmente muerta en 2012 luego de muchos años de no tener respuestas.

The mystery over Natalee Holloway's famous disappearance was cleared up once and for all -- because the prime suspect just admitted he killed her and attempted to defraud her family.

Joran van der Sloot appeared in an Alabama court Wednesday, where prosecutors told the court van der Sloot had confessed to Holloway's parents that he'd taken her life ... apparently, he bludgeoned her to death after she refused his sexual advances -- this according to Holloway's mother, Beth, who also spoke.

She said, "You didn't get what you wanted from Natalee, your sexual satisfaction, so you brutally killed her" -- adding that he "terminated her dreams, her potential, her possibilities."

Beth says van der Sloot admitted to killing Natalee on the beach and putting her body in water.

Van der Sloot entered a guilty plea to charges of wire fraud and extortion that he was facing here in the U.S. case -- while indirectly tied to Holloway's death -- was inextricably linked to her disappearance.

Interestingly enough, van der Sloot expressed remorse for the killing, saying he'd become a born-again Christian -- but Holloway's mother, as she told him that he'd always be a killer ... no matter what.

While van der Sloot might've copped to killing Holloway -- that's not what he'll be punished for here in the U.S. The case is somewhat convoluted -- especially since she first vanished almost 20 years ago on the island of Aruba -- but basically ... officials in America ended up charging him for attempting to sell information to Holloway's family about where her remains are ... which Beth says she actually paid for out of desperation.

As part of this plea deal he struck with the prosecution, van der Sloot was forced to finally clear up the details of Holloway's disappearance in 2005 ... and now he has.

Holloway -- who was 18 -- was on a high school graduation trip in the Dutch territory ... and witnesses say they saw her leaving a bar with van der Sloot and two other men, who have long been suspected to have been involved in whatever it is that happened to her.

The 3 men were arrested a couple different times over the years in connection to Holloway's disappearance -- but they were also cut loose over a lack of evidence. Van der Sloot, however, is the one who's fallen into the crosshairs of the U.S. ... as they indicted him in 2010, alleging he'd tried extorting and defrauding the Holloway family.

While he was charged in America well over a decade ago, he hadn't gotten extradited until just earlier this year -- as part of an agreement with the Peruvian government. You see, he's actually serving a prison sentence there for an entirely different case ... where a court found him guilty of murdering a different young woman, Stephany Flores.

Anyway, once this is dealt with, he'll reportedly be shipped back to Peru to finish his sentence -- and, after that, presumably return to America to start serving whatever punishment he receives as part of this case.

The Holloway story was one of the biggest disappearance cases in recent memory -- and her family had her declared legally dead in 2012 after many years of going without answers.

42 Dugg is a free man again -- released from prison earlier after serving 17 months for gun possession ... TMZ Hip Hop has learned.

The Detroit rapper was greeted by family, friends and his CMG Records boss Yo Gotti on Monday outside the Georgia prison where he'd been since May 2022.

After a rousing welcome home, we're told they immediately got some good grub and headed straight to the studio!!!

If you recall, 42 lashed out about his prison conditions back in May of this year ... claiming he was being held illegally past his court date, and the U.S. Marshals were playing mind games with him as if they'd captured Ethan Hunt.

42 led the feds on a manhunt for months, starting at the end of 2021, when he was supposed to turn himself in to a West Virginia prison.

He eventually was sentenced to 1 year, and quickly had regrets after intake at the prison -- he lashed out at the lack of hot water and other amenities on the inside.

Gotti offered up a pretty penny for his release -- $2 million to any attorney able to get his sentence shortened.

No word if he ended up forking out that dough, but Dugg is definitely home.

His arrival comes just in time for the upcoming CMG Tour featuring, arguably, the hottest team in rap ... Moneybagg Yo, GloRilla, EST Gee and more.

10/18 9:23 AM PT -- PD Beats tells TMZ Hip Hop the lawsuit is simply "an effort" to be in front of his business more ... as he hopes he and producers like Chicago's J Craig get their "just due."

Juice WRLD remains one of the top-streaming artists, even in death, but one man claims he co-wrote one of his hit songs and is now suing for his cut of the profits.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained a new lawsuit filed by Pierre DeJournette a.k.a. PD Beats ... one of the writers credited -- along with Dr. Luke and others -- on the 2021 Juice Wrld track "Not Enough."

The song was released posthumously as part of JW's "Fighting Demons" album, but PD is claiming his repeated attempts to get recognized as a co-author, and to get paid for his work have failed. So, now he's taking the matter to court.

In addition to suing Juice Wrld's estate, PD is going after Interscope Records, KBeazy, and others who apparently contributed to the track.

PD seems to believe everyone's getting paid 'cept him!!! 😩

The track is a big hit on Spotify ... 59 million plays and counting, a testament to the musical legacy JW left behind after his 2019 death from a fatal overdose.

PD is requesting the courts officially declare him a co-writer on the song, and he wants a full accounting of the profits ... so he can claim his piece.

We reached out to Interscope for comment but haven't heard back yet.

Logan Paul is closing the Dillon Danis chapter of his life ... saying he's no longer considering taking an MMA match with his nemesis after easily handling him in the ring.

Remember, Paul initially said back in September he was down to scrap in Danis' territory if the former Bellator fighter showed up to their Oct. 14 fight ... and the two shook hands on it to seal the deal.

Now, Maverick is backpedaling on his promise ... saying an MMA rematch is not gonna happen -- even though he's confident he'd "beat his ass."

"No, and you know why?" Logan said on his "Impaulsive" podcast. "I said I would if he gave me his whole purse, which is not gonna happen, obviously."

"Bro, he doesn't deserve the platform," he continued. "We saw what kind of person he is. I walked into the arena to boos, I left to cheers. No one likes that dirty fight s***, bro. You came to box, like, respect the sport. Respect me as an opponent. Back up your words. Are you a man?"

"You can't talk that much s*** for three months. You can't try to ruin someone's life and then come in there with that kind of performance."

Paul is referring to the incessant social media attack Danis unloaded leading up to the fight ... something that led to his fiancée, Nina Agdal, filing a lawsuit and restraining order against him.

Many believe Danis didn't put his money where his mouth was ... and for that reason, Logan's out on dealing with the guy in the future.

Conor McGregor will not face criminal charges over the interaction he had with a woman at an NBA Finals game earlier this summer ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to a closeout memo we obtained ... prosecutors said there was "insufficient evidence" as well as "contradicting and/or no corroborating witnesses" to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that McGregor sexually assaulted a woman during a bathroom meetup at the Nuggets vs. Heat game in Miami on June 9.

In the doc, prosecutors wrote they viewed CCTV footage from the Kaseya Center on the night of the incident ... and it showed McGregor and his accuser did go into a men's restroom together for approximately five minutes. They wrote it also showed that after the two left the lavatory, they were seen together in a club inside the NBA arena until they went their separate ways at around 12:40 AM.

Prosecutors added, however, that when they interviewed an attendant who was in the same bathroom ... he told them that while he did see the UFC star and his accuser go into a stall together, he "did not hear any signs of distress or sounds that would corroborate that whatever was occurring was not consensual."

Officials also said they spoke with McGregor's accuser's friend ... who told them the alleged victim never mentioned that Conor had attacked her. In fact, prosecutors wrote in the document that the accuser's friend said the woman had called her mother that same night "to tell her she had met" McGregor.

Prosecutors also wrote in the memo that when the woman initially attempted to make the claim against McGregor to cops ... she asked detectives if they believed the 35-year-old fighter "would like to 'settle' or 'pay her off' if she did not pursue charges."

"In light of the above facts and circumstances," prosecutors wrote in the memo, "the State would not be able to satisfy its burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt."

Barbara Llanes of Gelber Schachter & Greenberg, an attorney for McGregor, said in a statement to TMZ Sports on Tuesday she was "pleased" with the conclusion.
