Boy George says he doesn't care if the actor who plays him in a forthcoming biopic is of the same sexual orientation as him or not -- just so long as they nail the part.

The Culture Club frontman was at Rock & Reilly's Irish Pub Tuesday night in WeHo, where he tackled the issue of PC casting head-on while talking to paps. He told one photog that casting a gay man was NOT at the forefront of his mind as the movie ramps up.

BG notes they haven't cast the starring role yet, and while it's undecided if they'll look for an actor who is gay ... he says it's no biggie in his eyes.

Another man has been arrested in connection with Mac Miller's fatal overdose.

36-year-old Lake Havasu City resident Ryan Reavis is in custody ... this after the FBI and DEA targeted him over Mac's death. The law enforcement agencies obtained a search warrant for Reavis' home, and what they found led to his arrest.

According to investigators, drugs were found -- including prescription-only pills and marijuana. Cops say they also confiscated firearms, including a 9mm pistol and two shotguns, a homemade firearm suppressor and an arsenal of ammo.

Perhaps most important ... police found a physician's prescription pad.

The Game is calling out Tekashi69 ... calling the kid's snitching something a fake ass gangster -- and not a real Blood -- would ever do.

We got Game Tuesday in downtown L.A. at MedMen ... and the rapper unloaded on Tekashi for singing like a bird on the witness stand. Game confesses he actually feels sad for the kid ... because he got himself into a mess after claiming to be something he's really not.

Plain and simple ... Game says Tekashi shoulda kept his mouth shut.

Probably didn't take 'em more than one phone call, but Justin and Hailey Bieber locked down their first choice for a wedding singer -- and Daniel Caesar will be doing the honors.

Sources with direct knowledge of this weekend's ceremony tell us ... the R&B star will be on the mic when Mr. and Mrs. Bieber celebrate their union in South Carolina with family and friends.

Justin's keeping it Canadian by enlisting Daniel, but we're told it's more than national pride -- Daniel is Hailey AND Justin's fave singer right now. Daniel's debut album, "Freudian," went gold and spawned a #1 hit on the R&B charts ... "Best Part."

It's a good bet he'll be singing that one when the nuptials go down on the Carolina coastline in Palmetto Bluff. As we first reported, the couple finally settled on Sept. 30 for the big ceremony they've been trying to pull off.

Aaron Carter is no longer a gun owner, telling us he sold all of his firearms ... and he says he's also getting treatment, but not because that's what his family wants.

We got Aaron running errands near his home in Lancaster, CA and he told us he's done with his family after getting hit with restraining orders from brother Nick and sister Angel ... and he's also done with his guns.

Aaron tells us he's officially sold his firearms -- remember, he had at least two assault rifles, a pistol and a shotgun -- and the singer shows us the paperwork as proof. Dude means business.

Tekashi 6ix9ine's story has captured the attention of Snapchat, which has agreed to air a docuseries about the dude ... and it's supposed to be hitting your phone any day now.

Snap's launching their first documentary-style franchise called "VS The World" and T69 will kick off the first season.

It is being produced by Complex -- following his sudden skyrocket to fame in 2017, and his eventual crumbling in 2018 ... when he got arrested, indicted on RICO charges and incarcerated as a result.

The interesting thing here ... the Tekashi saga is obviously still playing out. Remember, the guy just testified for days against his old Nine Trey Blood crew members ... spilling a lot of alleged deets about them and others too.

Young Dolph found himself in a pair of cuffs after police thought they smelled weed when they pulled him over in Atlanta ... but there were no drugs in the car, and Dolph walked free.

Video of the incident -- obtained by TMZ -- shows the rapper standing outside his Mercedes-Benz G Wagon being detained by police officers, while his pals sit on the curb in handcuffs.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Young Dolph's car was pulled over Tuesday afternoon because he was not wearing a seat belt while driving, and cops thought they smelled some chronic when they went to the window. So, they pulled everyone out of the whip and cuffed 'em.

Our sources say police searched the car, but couldn't find any ganja.

Miley Cyrus' iHeartRadio set in Las Vegas nearly took a dark turn due to a man cops say is obsessed with knocking her up -- and it was only her eagle-eyed bodyguards who prevented disaster.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops were called to the T-Mobile Arena Saturday night after Miley's security team noticed 42-year-old David Rumsey in the audience. We're told Rumsey was on their watch list because he'd allegedly made previous threats against her.

Our sources say Rumsey told Miley's team, "It's my life's mission to impregnate Miley." We're told the guy also claimed he was going to raise Michael Jackson and Prince from the dead so they could party with him and Miley.

After being detained by Miley's security team, Rumsey was arrested and booked into the Clark County Jail on a felony charge of making threats. He is still currently in custody.

The guy's Twitter feed is frighteningly bizarre. In tweets the week before the concert he tells Miley he's sorry for hurting her and blames Donald Trump. Then he insinuates that after they meet in Vegas they'll be able to party with MJ, Prince and Tupac.

Sources tell us those twisted tweets are why Miley's team had distributed Rumsey's photo to staff inside the venue and instructed them to be on the lookout during her performance.

Mission accomplished for Team Miley.

Young Dro's gonna have to spend time behind bars for smashing banana pudding in his GF's face ... but it ain't all bad news for the rapper, far from it.

According to legal docs ... Young Dro pled guilty last week to 1 count of battery/family violence. He was immediately sentenced to 12 months behind bars, but was only ordered to serve 70 days.

And, it gets even better -- Dro got credit for 20 days already served. Plus, we talked to a Fulton County Court official who tells us he'll get an extra day of credit for each day served on good behavior.

The official says, do the math, and the rapper could get out as early as October 5.

He'll remain on probation for the balance of the 12-month sentence. As part of his plea ... Dro's gonna have to submit to a drug/alcohol evaluation within 30 days of his release from jail. He's also been ordered to undergo domestic violence counseling, and cannot booze or take drugs while on probation.

He'll also have to take random drug tests and forfeit all weapons.

TMZ broke the story ... the rapper was busted back in July after allegedly punching his GF so hard it left her bruised. Young Dro's also accused of smashing a plate of banana pudding in her face before grabbing a kitchen knife and going to town on the living room furniture.

Billie Eilish says it's news to her that people plan to impersonate her for Halloween, but now that she knows ... here's a tip on the best costume from the woman herself.

We ran into the pop sensation Monday at LAX and asked her what look SHE would recommend to all the wannabe BEs out there. She acknowledged there are many, MANY options for her fans to replicate.

Aside from her hit music ... Billie's become a bit of a fashion icon over the past year. She's debuted a TON of unique outfits in each of her music videos. Even in this clip, she's got her own steez going strong.

One thing is clear ... Billie's having just as tough a time as her fans probably are in choosing a favorite outfit of hers. Her bottom line seems to be ... power to the people!

She did let us in on her personal Halloween plans, and she knows for sure what she will NOT be dressing up as come Oct. 31.

For those itching to make a splash with their own Billie Eilish costumes this year, you might not need to look further than her video for "all the good girls go to hell." Remember, she got (fake) tarred and feathered for that shoot ... and it's a perfectly hellish look for the occasion.

Just sayin' ...

A camera crashing down into the Life is Beautiful music festival left 3 women injured -- and 2 of them needing immediate medical treatment.

The scary accident happened Saturday night at the Las Vegas festival ... a huge camera fell about 35 feet, landing on top of the victims. We're told the camera was fastened to a cable, but slipped off ... sending the camera and pieces of its rigging plummeting into the crowd.

We're told the whole apparatus weighs about 20 pounds!

All 3 women were treated on scene, but 2 of them needed more assistance and had to be rushed to a hospital. We're told one woman was treated for a head injury, and the other for a leg injury. They've both been released.

The group Of Monsters and Men was performing on the main stage when the camera free fell ... creating, as you can see, a very bloody scene.

A rep for the festival tells us, "The safety and security of our guests, partners, artists and employees is our first priority. Our thoughts and well wishes are with those affected by the incident." They also say there is an ongoing investigation and they are working to identify the cause of the incident.

It's the second straight year equipment has injured people at Life is Beautiful.

Dave East has one less problem to worry about (with conditions) after allegedly socking a cruise passenger ... but he's gotta stay on the straight and narrow to walk away scot-free.

The Manhattan Criminal Court Clerk tells TMZ the rapper accepted a deal Monday to dismiss his assault charge from a year ago IF he stays out of trouble for the next 6 months. The problem ... trouble has already found him -- DE got cited for battery just last week.

TMZ broke the story ... Dave got caught up in a 3-way gone wrong in Vegas, where a woman claims he punched her after they got into argument during sex. Dave says the woman hurled champagne bottles at him and allegedly struck him in the head, arm and leg.

Is Justin Bieber to blame for Arkansas football's embarrassing loss to San Jose State this weekend?

Razorbacks QB Nick Starkel seems to think so ... and that's why he's throwing away the famous JB shirt he wears under his pads for every game.

BACKSTORY -- Starkel is a HUGE Bieber fan. In fact, back in 2018, he sent a video to Ellen DeGeneres begging her to help him meet Justin because the singer is his hero!

As a tribute, Starkel also wears a Bieber shirt when he plays ... hoping to draw power from the pop star -- but it hasn't really worked out this year.

Arkansas -- once a mighty college football powerhouse -- is 2-2 this season and just lost on Saturday to San Jose State, not exactly known as a top national program (no disrespect).

Plus, it didn't help that Starkel threw 5 interceptions in the game.

"Bieber shirt has been ripped in half and thrown away," Starkel said in a post after the game.

"No more nonsense. No more distractions. All I’m focusing on is this team and this season. Nothing else."

Well, word got to Bieber ... because the singer reached out to Starkel with a message:

"I'm disappointed."

So, the good news ... Starkel finally heard from his idol. The bad news ... well, that's obvious.

The Postmates delivery driver Lizzo publicly accused of food theft says her days since then have been the worst of her life -- she's humiliated, terrified and worst of all ... it's a bum rap.

The driver, Tiffany W., tells TMZ ... her world was turned upside down when the "Truth Hurts" singer excoriated her on Twitter -- to her near-million followers -- saying, "this girl Tiffany W. stole my food she lucky I don't fight no more." Lizzo also included a screenshot of her profile photo.

This has scared the crap out of her. She's afraid to leave her home and even go to work, for fear someone might harm her or even worse.

As for the delivery incident ... we're told Lizzo's order was supposed to go to a Boston hotel, but there was no room number listed and no one answered the phone linked to the account.

We're told Tiffany went the extra mile and hit up the hotel concierge. She says she went into the lobby and continued to try to contact the customer and heard nothing back. Tiffany ended up waiting for a total of 10 minutes and finally left.

As for the food ... it was seafood, which Tiffany doesn't even eat.

A Postmates spokesperson tells us ... "As soon as Lizzo reached out, we looked into the matter and quickly resolved the issue. We apologize to Lizzo for any inconvenience." However, we're told the company determined Tiffany waited at least the required 5 minutes and wasn't able to reach the customer, so she moved on like she's supposed to do.

Lizzo's since deleted her original tweet putting Tiffany on blast and issued an apology ... but it seems like it might be too little, too late.

Rapper Kamaiyah had a blast at a private movie screening in a snazzy condo complex -- and by blast ... we mean she allegedly fired a gun and promptly got her ass arrested.

Police say Kamaiyah was hanging out at an apartment building in the San Fernando Valley ... where she and some friends made their way into the facility's movie screening room. Not a theater, per se ... but close enough.

Anyway, on surveillance footage reviewed by management -- and eventually by law enforcement -- a woman cops believe is Kamaiyah was seen pulling a handgun from inside her bag before letting a round go in the room. She darted shortly afterward.

Law enforcement sources tell us it appears the discharge, during the screening last month, was accidental and the gun went off as Kamaiyah was playing with it. We're told she wasn't arguing with anyone beforehand ... so there's no reason to think the bullet was meant for anyone.

According to the arrest report, obtained by TMZ, Kamaiyah wasn't arrested until just a couple weeks ago when a warrant was issued and cops located her. We're told they found what they believe to be the same gun used at the complex.

She was booked for felony negligent discharge of a firearm and was released on $35,000 bond.

Kanye West's Wyoming Sunday Service appeared to go off without a hitch -- and it was definitely the place to be based on the sheer number of heads ... who came as they were.

The highly-publicized event started bright and early Sunday morning, with massive lines forming outside the Buffalo Bill Center of the West ... which is serving as host for Ye's latest gathering. According to eyes on the crowd, the estimated count was well over 700 people who'd come out -- well over the max capacity of BBCW's Powwow Garden.

Just to give you a sense of how many folks flocked in to catch Ye this weekend, check out this photo ... an absolutely packed house. Might as well have been a music fest.

Looks like Kanye and co. made due though, as early footage of the worship sesh showed everyone standing around the 80-man (and woman) choir, with Ye himself in among the group as well. He's the one with the yellow hoodie on down below.

As far as what was sung ... NIRVANA COVERS!!!! (but the Kanye hymn versions, of course). The choir sang their own renditions of "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Come As You Are" and other Nirvana hits. There were some traditional prayers in the mix here too.

Eyewitnesses tell us Kanye did not perform this time around -- it's hit or miss with that, he's taken the stage at some stops lately, and other times he lays low and directs from the side.

According to what appears to be a setlist that was passed around, Kanye and the choir ended up running through 14 songs which included Ye's own "Ultralight Beam." There was also some nifty Wyoming Sunday Service gear for sale as well.

As we reported ... this week's Service was no secret. The Buffalo Bill Center made it clear that Kanye would be there and seemed to invite as many people as they could fit for free. As far as we can tell ... the homecoming was a complete success.
