Magic Johnson Dodgers Get Party Pass Even If They Sucked Last Night

Published | Updated

It doesn't matter if they played like crap last night (and lost to the sorry ass Marlins), the Dodgers can GO CLUBBIN' all they want, as long as they stay in first place ... so says Magic Johnson.

The Dodgers played like crap last night -- with Yasiel Puig (0-for-5) and Carl Crawford (1-for-4) looking especially bad ... no surprise considering they hit the Miami nightclubs HARD just hours before the game.

But Dodgers co-owner Magic Johnson doesn't seem to mind an off night every now and then ... as long as the team keeps destroying the majority of their opponents.

"We just gotta come back and win tomorrow," Johnson said ... "They're grown men. They can hang out. They can party. I mean ... they're grown."

He added, "We're having a great season ... so, one game is not gonna hurt us."

Johnson said there will absolutely be NO disciplinary action taken against the players -- who dropped more than $20k at LIV nightclub early Monday morning while partying with LeBron James.

An official high up in the Dodgers organization tells TMZ ... "They party all the time. It's no big deal."

FYI -- Johnson was known to do his fair share of partying back in the day ... and he played just fine. He's even got the rings to prove it.

L.A. Dodgers Stars NIGHTCLUBBIN' with LeBron After Team Finally Loses

Published | Updated

Didn't take long for the L.A. Dodgers to shake off the sting of defeat after finally losing a game in Philly yesterday ... 'cause hours later, the biggest stars on the team flew into Miami AND WENT CLUBBIN' with LeBron James, TMZ has learned.

Yasiel Puig, Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford all rolled into LIV Nightclub in Miami around 1AM Monday morning ... where they were greeted by LBJ ... and proceeded to party their faces off.

Sources inside the club tell TMZ ... the 4-some dropped more than $20,000 on Ciroc, Moet, Patron, Belvedere, and fancy champagne.

FYI -- The Dodgers (which had won 10 games in a row before losing to the Phillies) are in Miami to play the Marlins.

We're told Kemp was partying particularly hard ... but it's not like he's gotta work today anyway (injury) so, good for him.

It's good to be a pro athlete.

BTW -- We're on the hunt for photos ...

Robert Pattinson SHOVES Security Guard

Published | Updated

Robert Pattinson violently SHOVED a guy he apparently thought was a snap-happy photog while exiting a club Friday night ... but turns out it was a security guard.

In the chaotic video -- taken outside the Troubador -- a boozed-up looking Robert is seen trying to leave the venue while swarmed by paps. You can tell it's tough to navigate.

As Robert makes his way to his car through the mayhem, he suddenly throws his hand to another guy's face ... forcefully PUSHING him backwards. Suddenly paps are heard asking, "Why'd you hit him?"

Afterwards, the vic -- who is actually part of the bar's security team -- is heard saying "He grabbed me on my face" as he picks his glasses up from the ground.

He also makes it clear Robert thought he was someone else -- a photog.

So is the security guy pissed? Check out his reaction AND the look on Robert's face he drives away. Kinda says it all.

This is what John Mellencamp's two teenage sons allegedly did to a 19-year-old Indiana college student last month.

As we reported, the boys -- 18-year-old Speck and 19-year-old Hud -- have been charged with felony battery in connection with the July 29th attack, along with a 3rd alleged attacker, Ty Smith, the son of the baseball coach at Indiana U.

Cops say the victim suffered facial fractures and cuts that required stitches, and as you can see from the pics, the attack was gruesome.

The fight was all about retaliation -- we're told Speck was beaten up earlier that night at a house party, and hours later returned for revenge. The victim was not involved in the previous fight ... he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Two of the alleged attackers have turned themselves in and are out on $5k bail. The third is expected to turn himself in sometime Saturday.

Tyson Chandler Bieber Is My Homeboy

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber has some big friends ... we're talkin' 7-footers ... and they've got JB's back no matter what, so says NBA superstar (and full on Belieber) Tyson Chandler.

Earlier this week, Bieber tweeted a photo of himself (sans shirt, of course) hanging out with Chandler and Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant.

Everyone sorta wondered how they all know each other ... and what they were all doing at Bieber's mansion.

Well, last night, we found 7'1" Chandler leaving a party in Beverly Hills and he told us everything ... except why Bieber has so much trouble keeping his shirt on.

The mystery continues ...

Eli Manning I'm Just Tryin' to Stay Outta the Gutter ...

Published | Updated

Sporting some traditional red & blue bowling kicks, khaki shorts and a facial expression that says, "Errr mah gerd" ... Eli Manning hit up a NY bowling alley with his teammates Tuesday night and TMZ has the pics.

Eli, along with wideout Victor Cruz and the entire NY Giants squad, snuck into Frames in midtown Tuesday night -- with a police escort -- for a top secret bowling session.

According to Frames, the event was 100% alcohol-free ... since the team is in the middle of some hardcore pre-season training. Nothing but juice and water.

Despite looking goofy on lanes, Eli actually put up some pretty decent numbers that night -- bowling a 154.

Cruz wasn't too far behind, posting a respectable 134. Coach Tom Coughlin scored a 113.

Miraculously, no one was injured during the bowling trip. Jealous, Andrew Bynum?

Rob Dyrdek is on a mission ... a greasy, stomach-filling, alcohol-absorbing mission ... to find the greatest drunk munchie chef in the country. And it's gonna be awesome.

Dyrdek was leaving Boa Steakhouse on Sunset Blvd. last night when he told us all about his upcoming MTV show "Snackdown" -- the hunt for a Wolfgang I'm-So-Pucked-Up-Right-Now.

"If you appreciate late night random drunk snacking on a gourmet level, that's what 'Snackdown' is all about."

For example -- Pizza with nachos ... throw in some chocolate syrup ... and maybe some ice cream. Boom. BRILLIANT.

Anyone else hungry? Or drunk?

Published | Updated

Monday was theme day for Chris Brown, first showing up at an L.A. jail -- where orange is standard issue -- to turn himself in for his hit-and-run case, and later that day partying at AV nightclub sporting an orange hoodie and zooming off in an orange Lambo.

Chris apparently had a long night, because at 6:34 AM Tuesday, the ghost of Rihanna surfaced as he tweeted: "Being famous is amazing when it's for your music and talent. I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when I was 18. I'm cool & over it."

Here's the thing ... he's still on probation and has a criminal charge pending -- so he's not over it at all.

Justin Bieber's Crew Under Investigation In Nightclub Beatdown

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber's entourage is under investigation for a brutal fight that left a nightclub patron sprawled out in the parking lot and injured badly enough to be taken to a hospital.

The incident occurred outside South Pointe nightclub in Southampton on Sunday at around 3 AM. Bieber had arrived an hour earlier and inside the club we're told the booze was flowing in the VIP area.

A girl inside the club tried to speak to Justin but was denied. She came back with a guy -- the alleged victim -- who apparently had beef with the situation and at that point Justin went nuts, pulling off his shirt and screaming at the dude.

Justin and crew left the club but in the parking lot things flared up again. Justin -- who was in his SUV -- jumped through the sunroof onto the hood. At that point it's unclear what happened, but the alleged victim was knocked out on the cement.

According to cops, Justin's people apparently went after the guy, although we're told the alleged victim was aggressive as well.

An investigation is underway after the alleged victim filed a police report. Justin is not the target of the investigation -- it's his crew.

Another night out.

Paris Hilton Wannabe Bling Ring Tried to Burgle Me!

Published | Updated

Paris Hilton suffered a case of deja vu all over again when a pack of chicks snuck into her casa and tried to steal her stuff -- but rather than make off with millions like the "bling ring" ... these crooks failed miserably.

Sources tell TMZ ... the attempted snatch job went down when Paris threw herself a going away party at her Malibu beach house last weekend -- the send-off before she jetted to Ibiza.

We're told a group of random girls crashed the party, snuck into P's bedroom, and tried to jack bikinis, Paris Hilton handbags and framed pics. Not exactly primo swag.

Problem is ... we're told the banditos got spooked when someone spotted them, and while making their getaway ... they dropped all the loot.

A valet found the goods down the road from Paris' house and turned it all over to cops.

Paris' driver picked up the stuff. No police report was filed.

Not exactly Sofia Coppola material.

Justin Bieber REJECTED By NYC Nightclub

Published | Updated

Poor little Justin Bieber wanted to party his face off Monday night ... but His Douche-ness was brutally shot down by one NYC nightclub ... because he's still a baby in bar years (i.e. under 21).

Our NYC party sources tell us ... Biebs and his crew showed up to Griffin Nightclub in the Meatpacking District around 2:00 AM ... looking to drop serious coin on bottle service.

But money can't buy everything ... we're told JB was DENIED entrance by the club's security because he's only 19 -- making his presence a potential problem (see Chicago earlier this month).

Not to be defeated ... Biebs and his posse were shot minutes later cruising into another club, Catch ... where he probably just sipped water.
