Univ. of Tennessee 9 Football Players Busted At Insane House Party Gone Wrong
Nine members of the University of Tennessee football team were busted at a HUGE team rager over the weekend ... with booze, weed and FIGHTS, this according to the cops.
TMZ Sports has learned ... cops initially responded to an off-campus party in Knoxville just after midnight on Sunday morning after getting noise complaints. Cops say the party was hosted by Dontavis Sapp -- a former UT linebacker.
Cops say they went to talk to Sapp ... but he was clearly wasted ... and they tried to take him into custody. That's when, cops say, senior linebacker AJ Johnson stepped in ... and grabbed a cop by the shoulder, in an effort to keep Sapp from being arrested.
Johnson was "pulled to the ground" by one of the cops who says the football player "continued to resist arrest by pulling away and rolling around."
Cops say .... another player, 20-year-old defensive lineman Danny O'Brien, was also hammered and combative and was taken into custody "after a brief struggle."
Cops cited 3 other football players -- Curt Maggitt (LB), Jakob Johnson (LB) and Jalen Reeves-Maybin (LB) -- who allegedly provided booze and weed to underage party guests, including:
-- Dontavius Blair (OL)
-- Dimarya Mixon (DL)
-- Justin Coleman (DB)
-- Malik Brown (DL)
The 4 players were cited for underage drinking.
A spokesperson for UT tells us ... "We are aware of the situation and are still in the preliminary stages of gathering all facts and information."
"We have very high standards and expectations within our football program at the University of Tennessee and appropriate action will be taken."
Seahawks CB Richard Sherman Raging In Vegas Ankle Injury Can't Stop Me!
DON'T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT RICHARD SHERMAN'S ANKLE ... 'cause less than one week after injuring it in the Super Bowl, the Seahawks star was partying hard on it during a rager in Vegas!!!
Sherman -- along with fellow Legion of Boomer Kam Chancellor -- hit up the Chateau nightclub in Sin City Saturday night ... and cut loose, despite suffering a high ankle sprain during the Feb. 2nd victory.
Seemed like Sherman was feeling "no pain" that night -- we're guessing the gang of hot chicks following him around that night makes a man forget about a freak joint injury.
Meanwhile, Peyton Manning is still sad somewhere ..

Justin Bieber Drove at Breakneck Speeds Hours Before Arrest
Justin Bieber hit speeds of 136 miles an hour in his rented Lambo just hours before his arrest ... TMZ has learned.
We've now obtained the FULL GPS speed readout for the evening in question -- not just the period immediately surrounding the arrest.
Check it out. The GPS map corresponds to the readout. At 1:23 AM Justin was on the Julia Tuttle Causeway in Miami Beach, heading toward the nightclub. He was clocked at 108 MPH and within a minute he accelerated to 136 MPH.
The red line is from the readout -- the color appears when the RPM reaches an extreme limit.
Bieber arrived at Set nightclub at 2:27 AM, stayed an hour and then drove away.
Cops claim Bieber was drag racing, but the read shows otherwise -- in the middle of the so-called drag race, he was cruising at 27 MPH -- under the speed limit.
It's almost as if cops knew he was speeding on the Causeway earlier in the evening and were just waiting to make their move.

Justin Bieber Selena's Not Lovesick ... She's a Drunk
Justin Bieber is scoffing at Selena Gomez, telling friends she has no one to blame but herself for her addictions ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with daily Bieber contact tell TMZ ... Bieber and his friends are laughing at Selena's "bad influence" claims, because they say she's always the drunk at the party. Bieber acknowledges he gets wasted, but whenever he had parties Selena was downright competitive ... smoking as much weed as the guys and sometimes outdoing them. They say she was also HEAVY into booze.
We're told Justin believes Selena's parents are behind the blame game, because they HATE him. He thinks they are fueling Selena's anger and making him a scapegoat.
Justin says he's happy he's no longer with Selena because she's just too high maintenance ... and out of control.

Justin Bieber What's In the Water Bottle?
While Justin Bieber strapped on his best hip-hop inspired accessories to hang with rap royalty Wednesday night -- one particular piece of flare seems to stick out ... the mysterious green inside his water bottle.
After posting pics of the underage Bieb's keeping his cool while hanging around dozens of bottles of booze at Diddy's shin-dig at Vanquish nightclub in Atlanta -- we noticed Justin's water bottle had something inside other than H20.
The rest of the A-list entourage enjoyed a neon yellow cocktail that could have easily been poured into Justin's clear water bottle.
Unless you're at the Sochi Olympics -- this water doesn't look normal. So what is it?

Justin Bieber was the belle of the ball Wednesday night as he revealed his boyish body -- to the amusement of a dozen big-time rappers at Diddy's Atlanta blowout.
Bieber's new GF, Chantel Jeffries, was in tow at Vanquish nightclub as he went around the room, mugging with Diddy, T.I., Jermaine Dupri, Wale, Rick Ross, Lil Scrappy and Trinidad James.
Bieber was a minority of one as he lost his shirt in the crowd but not his bling. And, even though there were lots of bottles poppin' ... Bieber stuck to bottled water the entire night.
As for weed ... well, we'll take a wild guess.

2014 Olympics Budweiser BAILS on Sochi We're Not Comfortable There
There's no Bud for you, Sochi ... TMZ Sports has learned Budweiser has decided to NOT throw its traditional Winter Olympics party this year and it's all because the company is not comfortable with the situation in Russia.
In the past, Budweiser was known for hosting huge parties -- like the Club Bud bashes during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver and at the 2006 Olympics in Turin.
But we've learned ... the King of Beers has decided it won't be throwing a similar party at the '14 Games ... at least, that's the plan for now.
In fact, we've seen an email from a Budweiser rep which says the company does not want its U.S.-based representatives in Sochi ... and the message is clear -- the terrorist threat is simply looming too large.
A rep for Anheuser-Busch confirms to TMZ Sports ... there will be no Club Bud in Sochi -- but the rep didn't give a reason for why the company is not throwing the party.
Diddy to Waitress Here's Your Tip Bet On Seattle
Diddy and his entourage rang up a $200 tab at a NYC bar during the Super Bowl ... then STIFFED their waitress on the tip ... according to the bar which is now publicly shaming the multi-millionaire.
Employees say on Sunday Sean Combs and his friends were at The Bar located in the Dream Hotel ... and when the bar manager asked Diddy if he was receiving good service ... Diddy said everything was A-ok.
But when it came time to pay ... staffers say Diddy left a giant goose egg for gratuity.
Now The Bar is calling him out ... ridiculing him on its Facebook page -- "Although [Diddy's] Net worth is in the millions, he felt it necessary to stiff a hard working young girl for $40 bucks. What a gentleman....!!!"
Of course it's possible Diddy thought, for once, someone else in his entourage would pick up the tab. We've reached out to him ... so far no response.

Chris Brown Took Rehab Break ... To Party Face Off
Chris Brown made a little pit stop on his way back to rehab Sunday -- after visiting his lawyer -- he dropped by Trey Songz' blowout Super Bowl party ... filled with girls and booze ... and it's possible the shindig could land Chris in some hot water.
Brown was given a pass out of rehab Sunday specifically to meet with his attorney, Mark Geragos, for the singer's court hearing the next day.
After the meeting, Chris decided it would be fun to enjoy a few Super Bowl moments with his pal Trey Songz. There was nothing in the rehab pass indicating partying with chicks and booze was ok.
Sources close to Chris tell TMZ, he was only there for around 10 minutes ... and only because he thought the party was for charity. We can't help but call BS. There's no evidence there was any fundraising going on, and even if there was ... it's irrelevant.
Our Chris sources say he didn't drink and was monitored by a rehab worker at the party.
Calls to Chris' reps weren't returned.

'Starship Troopers' Star Drunk Guy Broke Into My House ... Then Passed Out
"Starship Troopers" star Casper Van Dien better start locking his doors ... because he triggered a police emergency when some DRUNK dude accidentally stumbled into his house and passed out on his couch, TMZ has learned.
Van Dien called 911 early Saturday morning to report a possible burglary in progress when his daughter noticed some stranger passed out in the living room of their Miami home.
According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, cops went into "emergency mode" -- and raced to the house. Cops say when they arrived, the intruder was "very intoxicated and unsure where he was."
The guy was immediately arrested and transported to a nearby station. Casper and his family took pics with the cops (see above).
But TMZ has learned ... the whole thing seems to be a simple drunken misunderstanding -- because friends of the "intruder" tell us ... the guy was in town for a bachelor party and he was staying in a nearby mansion with 12 buddies.
The buddies had gone to a strip club on Friday night and ditched the guy -- who was hammered -- and he eventually tried to get a cab back to the residence on his own.
But being as wasted as he was, he accidentally went to a house just down the street ... and walked in the front door (which happened to be unlocked) and passed out on the couch, thinking he had made it home.
He was wrong ... and spent 18 hours in jail.
And now his buddies have an epic bachelor party story.

Jon Jones & GSP BIZARRE ENCOUNTER At Super Bowl Party
Was Jon "Bones" Jones trying to DUCK Georges St-Pierre at the Super Bowl post-game bash in NYC last night??? Because it sure as hell looked that way in this clip.
It all went down outside Marquee nightclub ... GSP has no idea he's standing 3 ft. away from his fellow UFC superstar until our camera guy points him out.
What ensues is awkward, funny and confusing ... all at the same time.
It seems "Bones" was trying to signal our photog NOT to alert St-Pierre to his presence ... but our guy didn't get the hint and gave JJ up.
Ya gotta watch the clip -- either way, it's pretty hilarious ... and "Bones" deserves an Oscar.

Diddy & Ashanti Fur-Ballin' For Late Night Grub Run
Diddy was clearly overdressed during a pre-Super Bowl visit to a landmark greasy spoon in Harlem.
We're told Diddy -- and his 15-person entourage that included Ashanti and French Montana -- rolled up at around 3 am to a famous outdoor food stand called O'fishole Sea Food -- long known in the hood by its previous name -- Willie's Burgers.
After ordering at the walk-up window -- 5 orders of cheeseburgers with fries and 3 fish and chips -- we're told the group created quite the spectacle as they sat on a brick wall and chowed down.
Ashanti left a $100 tip ... on a $40 bill.
The manager tells TMZ, "Coming here is the hood thing to do."
The decent thing to do ... stop wearing fur.
