12/9 7:50 AM PT -- "Emily in Paris" star Jeremy O. Harris has been released from custody in Japan after being accused of smuggling the below drugs, TMZ can confirm.

Officials in Japan originally said charges were filed ... but a source close to the actor tells us he was freed without a single charge filed against him. We're also told he will be staying in Japan to work on an upcoming project.

We told you about his arrest last month -- officers found 780 milligrams of Ecstasy, also known as MDMA, in his carry-on tote bag when he was traveling to the southern Japanese island of Okinawa from Taiwan.

Jeremy O. Harris, a Tony-nominated playwright and actor, is reportedly in custody in Japan on suspicion of attempting to smuggle illegal drugs into the country ... because customs officials at an airport say they found Ecstasy in his carry-on.

Jeremy was stopped at Naha Airport on Okinawa island after flying in from Taiwan on November 16 ... and he's been detained ever since ... according to Japanese authorities.

Customs officials say officers found 780 milligrams of MDMA in Jeremy's carry-on tote bag ... and he was arrested on suspicion of violating Japan's Narcotics and Psychotropics Control Act.

"Love & Hip Hop Atlanta" star Erica Breaux found herself behind bars in Georgia after she was caught with drugs ... in a stolen car!

A rep for Brookhaven PD tells TMZ ... Breaux, also known as rapper Erica Banks, was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over Monday in Brookhaven, GA, after a police officer noticed a tinted tag covering the license plate. In Georgia, it's against the law to have material affixed to a license plate that covers any portion of it.

The officer also noticed the vehicle had dealer plates, which should only be driven by a dealer employee and registered for sale. What's more, the officer ran the plates and learned the vehicle was marked as stolen from Atlanta.

Prosecutors in the Luigi Mangione murder trial just entered a bunch of evidence into court ... including photos of the gun they say Luigi used to whack UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

The photos are included in new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... they show a handgun, bullets and a magazine. Cops say they found the gun and the loaded magazine in Luigi's bag when he was arrested.

Police previously released photos of the gun last December around the time of Luigi's arrest ... but these are clearer photos from different angles ... in other words, it's the best look yet at the gun Luigi allegedly used to kill Thompson.

Luigi's court hearing this month have been pretty juicy ... prosecutors resurfaced video from the shooting and released the 911 call that led to Luigi's arrest at a Pennsylvania McDonald's ... plus, we finally saw the body cam footage from the arrest.

Cosmo Lombino was one of many fans worried sick about Downtown L.A. "Skid Row influencer" Rebecca Olsen -- who was presumed dead after her recent disappearance from social media -- but CL now tells us Rebecca is clean and sober after many feared she'd taken her own life.

We spoke with the self-styled "Queen of Melrose" -- who owns multiple boutiques on the popular L.A. street of Melrose -- about Rebecca, who was arrested last month for battery on an emergency personnel. Cosmo tells us Rebecca was away helping a friend and missed the "proof of life" appeals for her online.

Lombino says it was just a relief to find out Rebecca was alive ... because she had appeared on Soft White Underbelly recently, where she'd said she was suicidal -- and Cosmo and others in their friend group feared the worst.

Tekashi 6ix9ine already knows what he'll be up to after he serves his 3-month prison sentence next year ... because a judge also ordered him to 12 months of supervised release with some pretty strict conditions.

According to court papers, obtained by TMZ, the rapper's supervised release will include a mental health treatment program focused on anger management and an outpatient drug treatment program.

Last week, 6ix9ine told us he wasn't worried about doing his prison bid -- set to start January 6 -- because he plans on using the time to get in shape.

'Real Housewives of Orange County' alum Meghan King and her ex-husband Jim Edmonds have side-stepped a potentially nasty custody battle ... the estranged couple has reached an agreement out of court ... TMZ has confirmed.

Jim's rep, Steve Honig tells TMZ ... “The custody hearing has been called off, and both sides have reached an agreement that is in the best interests of the children.”

This comes after Meghan temporarily lost custody of the three children she shares with Jim ... she allegedly gave one of their twin sons unprescribed medication. She allegedly asked a school nurse to administer it.

Wendy Williams should regain control of her own life before the new year ... according to her powerhouse lawyer Joe Tacopina.

Tacopina spoke to "Nightline" about his client's guardianship, saying, "The plan is this ... There are guardianship attorneys ... and we're watching and waiting, and they've assured Wendy by year's end she'll be out of guardianship."

The legendary talk show host has been in a highly restrictive guardianship for more than 3 years, despite the latest neurologist testing saying she doesn't have frontotemporal dementia -- the medical condition is what a judge used to justify the guardianship after Wendy's guardian claimed Wendy was suffering from dementia.

Court is back in session ... and Luigi just pulled the ultimate comeback ... showing up so polished and glowing, you’d never believe this was the same guy who looked rough AF a few days ago.

There was zero hint of Monday blues for Luigi on Day 4 in NYC ... he rolled in looking ridiculously sharp, fully suited and booted, and serving smolder so hard he could've been a male model in a different life.

Whatever bug he had, it’s clearly gone -- Luigi’s back on his feet and looking alarmingly refreshed for a guy fighting both state and federal first-degree murder charges

Diddy is furious at Netflix for dropping the 50 Cent documentary on his legal troubles, but some of the video shot at Diddy's behest almost certainly has his criminal defense lawyer enraged.

There's a video in the doc shot by a guy Diddy hired to chronicle his life ... where he's talking to his lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, about his impending arrest. Diddy is enraged at Agnifilo and the entire legal team, barking that they're losing the case.

Diddy has fired off a demand letter to Netflix, claiming the streamer is screwing him over by releasing a video that Diddy -- not the videographer -- owned. But here's the deal. There's a true victim in all of this -- the man who won the criminal case for Diddy -- Marc Agnifilo. We're told he did not know Diddy had someone recording their conversation when they spoke on the phone.

Bryan Kohberger is spending Christmas behind bars -- and the murderous Grinch of 4 college students is getting a much-deserved lump of coal this year instead of the average holiday prison perks, except for some cookies.

Here's the scoop ... Idaho's most infamous mass killer is incarcerated in long-term restrictive housing at Idaho Maximum Security Institution, so he has very little access to any activities, according to Sanda Kuzeta-Cerimagic, a spokeswoman for the Department of Correction.

Kuzeta-Cerimagic said Kohberger and his fellow inmates in the restrictive unit are shuffled around in shackles, making it harder for correction officers to move them about the prison for special Xmas activities.

12/8/25 -- 1:18 PM PT -- Attorney's John W. Harris tells TMZ ... "Unfortunately, Mr. Frost's characterization is entirely misleading and factually incorrect. Despite the defense attorneys' attempts to distort the record, these devices are being provided by our clients pursuant to a voluntary agreement between the parties, not under compulsion.

He adds, "As we have consistently stated, the Robinsons' victims have nothing to hide. They look forward to their day in court and to seeing justice served."

Smokey Robinson's attorney Christopher Frost tells TMZ ... "We are pleased with the Court’s ruling. Plaintiffs’ motives have been clear all along. File a vile and salacious complaint, and then bring these plaintiffs out a handful at a time so it looks like there are new and independent allegations, when the truth is that these people all worked together to contrive this lawsuit."

He continues, They are now keeping the public in the dark about the truth by hiding behind a confidentiality order and refusing to produce any documents at all. We know the types of communications these plaintiffs had with our clients prior to deciding to sue them, so we are pleased to finally be able to access information that will help the court, a jury, and the public know the truth.”

Smokey Robinson won a legal battle in his legal war against his sexual assault accusers ... a judge granted the singer's request for the anonymous accusers to turn over their cell phones.
