Justin Bieber Bodyguard Busted For Alleged Photog Assault
One of Justin Bieber's bodyguards got busted in the most chill place on Earth -- for getting violent with a photographer and his equipment ... TMZ has learned.
The alleged tussle went down on the island of Kauai Wednesday ... when Bieber and his crew were jumping off the famous cliff on Shipwreck's Beach.
According to cops ... a 29-year-old man was snapping pics of JB & co. until one of Bieber's hired hands approached and demanded he delete all his photos.
The photog refused ... and claims the bodyguard -- Dwayne Patterson -- then got physical ... assaulting him and damaging his camera.
The alleged victim couldn't have been too hurt -- he told cops he had no injuries and refused any medical attention.
Patterson was booked for 3rd degree assault and 4th degree criminal property damage. He was released on $3,000 bail, aka ... Justin's pocket change.
It's unclear if Bieber did actually cover the bail. His reps haven't gotten back to us yet.

'R.I.P.' Singer Rita Ora COLLAPSES During Photo Shoot
British pop singer Rita Ora -- who had the hit song, "R.I.P." -- collapsed on the set of her photo shoot in Miami Beach today ... and was rushed to a hospital by ambulance according to photographers on the scene.
Photos show the 22-year old singer/model/actress -- eyes closed -- being unloaded from the ambulance on a stretcher ... attended by emergency personnel. So far, no word on what may have caused her to collapse.
Ora -- who famously dated Rob Kardashian last year -- was reportedly preparing for her photo shoot on the beach near the SoHo Beach House hotel when she fainted in her makeup trailer.
We've reached out to Rita's people -- so far, no word back.
2:01 PM PT Ora's doctor, David Farcy, tells TMZ Rita was treated for heat exhaustion and dehydration. She's been discharged and Dr. Farcy says she's fine. She flashed a big smile to fans when she returned to her hotel from the hospital. Rita was in the middle of a photo shoot for Madonna's Material Girl campaign in Miami when she was taken ill.
Kim & Kanye We Want Dr. Dre's Land For Our Mega-Mansion
As if Beats by Dr. Dre didn't earn him enough money last year ... Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are gearing up to line Dre's pockets even more, because Dre owns the Calabasas mega-property the couple is seriously thinking about buying.
TMZ broke the story ... Kim and Kanye have got their eyes on a massive plot of land tucked away in a secluded section of Calabasas, and are considering buying it and then building an enormous, super-private mansion.
The couple already owns an $11 million mansion nearby in Bel Air -- still under construction -- but now they're concerned it's too exposed ... so they're thinking about selling it and buying the lot.
And now for the crazy coincidence -- we've learned the 6-acre plot is owned by hip hop mega-producer Dr. Dre, which he purchased last year for roughly $10.5 million. We're told the land is now worth between $11-12 million.
FYI, Dre is worth a reported $360 million. Kim and Kanye's reported net worth combined isn't even half that. Dre reportedly raked in $110 million last year alone ... largely from Beats by Dre.

Brooke Mueller Stick Fighting With Twin Sons
Charlie Sheen's ex-wife Brooke took her kids for a walk in Beverly Hills yesterday and began to entertain them mid-hike by turning her walking stick into a sword ... and flailing it around like He-Man.
As we previously reported, her brother Scott was awarded temporary guardianship over the twins while Brooke deals with her latest drug issues ... and he was there too.
It may seem innocent -- but teaching her kids how to wield a giant stick properly when they're being accused of constant violence by ex-guardian Denise Richards seems kinda dumb ... so we gotta ask ...

'Amish Mafia' Star Esther Schmucker Bruised, Battered & Out Of Hiding
"Amish Mafia" star Esther Schmucker has come out of hiding -- revealing her bruised and battered face in public for the first time since her boyfriend allegedly used it as a punching bag.
Schmucker was sporting a seriously black eye as she went out on a shopping run ... but she didn't have much to say, telling a photographer, "I don't feel like talking to anybody."
As we reported ... the beatdown left Schmucker with a broken nose and cheekbone ... and several broken teeth. She hasn't been seen in public since her boyfriend -- Imir R. Williams -- was arrested for the Oct. 31 attack on her face.
Williams -- a rapper who goes by the name Mirkat -- has been charged with felony aggravated assault in connection with the beating and is currently behind bars in a Pennsylvania prison.

Brooke Mueller On the House Hunt, Leaving Charlie's Orbit
8:50 AM PT -- Sources close to Brooke tell us, Brooke is looking to move because she believes that's what the court wants. We're told Brooke is under the impression she can't live under the same roof as her children -- and when her brother Scott moves in today with the twins, she feels she's required to find another place to live full-time until her custody rights are fully restored.
Brooke Mueller seems to be subscribing to the adage, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," because she's got her sights set on moving out of Charlie Sheen's neighborhood.
Brooke was shopping for condos in Bev Hills Monday ... just a day before twins Bob and Max will be living with her full-time, under the watchful eye of Brooke's brother Scott.
Here's what's interesting. Brooke has been living in a house Charlie bought just blocks from where he lives. Things have gotten so bad between the 2, Charlie has been making noises that she's becoming persona non grata, so condo shopping is not surprising.
As for who will end up paying for the condo ... it's likely good ol' Charlie will end up footing the bill. Brooke's child support was sliced in half after losing custody, but now that the kids will be living with her full-time, it's a safe bet Charlie will have to ante up $55k a month, just like in the good ol' days.

The kid's fine. It was just a routine baby visit.
Maybe it'll impress the judge in the assault case.

Britney Spears and K-Fed ... Well This is Awkward
The trio came together in Tarzana today for an awkward -- yet respectable -- moment ... and didn't seem too fazed standing side by side ... by side.
Makes sense ... since K-Fed made it clear to us last month he had moved on with his life and didn't really care about things going on with Britney anymore.
Stronger.
