Justin Bieber Faked Illness to Skip Depo Lawyers Say Chugging Videos Prove It

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber got busted calling in sick for a deposition ... or so claim the lawyers who say they have proof he stood them up due to a night of heavy partying.

The attorneys are repping a songwriter who claims Bieber jacked a sample for "Sorry" -- and had scheduled a Feb 8 depo with Justin. According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Justin's team informed the lawyers just hours beforehand ... he wouldn't be able to because he was "ill."

Mind you, the lawyers say they'd flown to L.A. from Nashville to make it easier for Justin.

They got pissed when they found YouTube videos of JB chugging beers at Bootsy Bellows in the early morning hours of the very day he was supposed to be at the depo. The videos, apparently posted by Beliebers, show Justin drinking at a house party as well as the nightclub.

In docs, they say Justin rubbed their noses in it by posting Instagram pics drinking with friends ... hours after he played hooky.

They're willing to let him make it up, but now they want the court to force Justin to fly to Nashville in early March, and do the depo on their turf.

We reached out to Justin's team ... no word back.

Selena Gomez Gives The Weeknd $30k Bday Surprise ... But Skips the Party

Published | Updated

Selena Gomez missed out on The Weeknd's 27th birthday bash ... even though she picked up the nearly $30,000 tab for her bf.

The Weeknd's surprise party went down Monday night at Dave & Buster's in Hollywood, and his pals French Montana, 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Travis Scott, Migos and Bryson Tiller were all there. They enjoyed open bar and open games. Sources inside tell us Travis was tearing up Dance Dance Revolution.

We're told Abel and co. had the run of the place from 11 PM to 2 AM. Meanwhile, Selena was in NYC for Fashion Week ... but made sure to leave her credit card to handle all charges.

D & B is clearly one of The Weeknd's fave spots -- he partied there with Selena and friends just a few weeks ago. His bday isn't until Feb. 16, so we're guessing there will be another celebration ... maybe WITH his gf.

Donald Trump I'm No Wedding Crasher!! Check the Guest List

Published | Updated

Donald Trump isn't Vince Vaughn ... or Owen Wilson ... he's a guy with a legit wedding invite who showed up to honor a bride and groom he knows very well.

Newlyweds Carl Henry Lindner IV and Vanessa Jane Falk tell TMZ ... Vanessa's parents have been members at Mar-a-Lago for years, and her dad personally invited President Trump to their wedding last weekend. Trump told him he'd do his best to make an appearance ... if he was in town.

The couple says they didn't expect the prez to show, but lo and behold he was in town with Japanese PM Shinzo Abe ... who came along for the party, but only after they'd dealt with the North Korea crisis. We're told the world leaders rolled up in the presidential limo while the wedding party was taking pics. Great timing.

Carl and Vanessa say the prez hung out for about 30 minutes and even made a speech.

Lindner's family used to be majority owner of the Chiquita banana brand, and his dad is co-CEO of American Financial Group -- so yeah ... they've got Trump-esque pockets too.

HOEDOWN THROWDOWN

Margot Robbie just upped her cool chick factor by partying and dancing in a Georgia watering hole called Southern Comfort. Instant cool chick cred.

Margot took a break from filming the Tonya Harding movie over the weekend outside Atlanta, and producers threw a get-together for the cast and crew. Margot kicked off her ice skates and put on her dancing shoes to hit the floor with her co-star Paul Walter Hauser.

Paul plays Shawn Eckhardt, Tonya's bodyguard, and he's apparently pretty good on his feet too ... based on this video. Our sources say Margot and about 30 others sucked down pitchers of beer and cocktails.

Not that it got too wild ... we're told Margot's real-life husband was there too. We don't blame him.

Edgerrin James Takes On Strip Club Biz I'm an Owner!

Published | Updated

There's a brand new boss in the Miami strip club scene ... ex-NFL star Edgerrin James.

TMZ Sports has learned the 4-time Pro Bowler is launching "One" -- a brand new upscale booty club. Our sources say James is the sole owner.

James has been running "soft openings" to prepare for the official launch -- and has had a bunch of his famous friends (including Clinton Portis and Luther Campbell) inside the joint to check it out.

The strip club biz is super competitive in Miami -- but Edge is a god in the city and happens to be extremely well-connected. If anyone has a shot to break through, it's him.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Selena & The Weeknd We're with RiRi While Justin Throws Shade

Published | Updated

The Weeknd and Selena Gomez didn't let a little thing like ZERO Grammy Awards stop 'em from hitting the post Grammy party scene.

The couple hooked up to hit Rihanna's party at 1 OAK on the Sunset Strip. He performed during the award show, one of the night's highlights, but it appears his gf was a no-show. Selena wasn't nominated, and neither was The Weeknd -- "Starboy" was released after the cutoff date.

His hit record did get a shout-out Sunday night, with a heaping side of SHADE, from Justin Bieber.

As we told you ... Justin bailed on the Grammys this year, but during the ceremony he went live on Instagram and took a shot at his ex-gf and her new man.

Ice cold.

Grammys Party Ed Sheeran Turned Down Cold

Published | Updated

You'd think Ed Sheeran -- a 2 time Grammy winner with 9 more nominations -- would breeze into a Grammys after-party but NOOOOO!

Ed hit up Milk Studios in L.A. for the shindig but the front door proved elusive, and not just for him. Adrien Brody and super DJ Pete Tong also got the cold shoulder.

NeNe Leakes had trouble making her entrance but managed to make it in later in the evening.

And worst of all ... they ran out of In-N-Out burgers.

Chris Evans Return of the Mack Captain America Bros Out

Published | Updated

Chris Evans is a bachelor again after his split from Jenny Slate ... and he looks a lot like a bro on the prowl.

Chris was partying in Houston Saturday night with some childhood friends, where we're told he invited a few ladies from a bar back to his buddy's private mansion shindig nearby.

Sources tell us one of the girls looked dead-on like his ex, Jenny, but with red hair. What followed next was nothing short of a good old fashioned bro fest ... backwards hats, SOLO cups and all.

We're told Chris was raging pretty hard -- along with the other guests, who left behind underwear in the pool -- and even jumped over a couch just 'cause ... albeit, it was off camera.

Return of the Cap?

Mariah Carey Can't Spare The GRAMMYs in Heels

Published | Updated

Mariah Carey isn't bowling anyone over at the GRAMMYs this year -- since she's not up for anything -- and doing about the same in a 60 foot lane.

Mariah tried bowling in her heels Saturday night at her place in Bev Hills during a private pre-GRAMMYs party, alongside her kids and BF Bryan Tanaka. She clearly needed some of those neon shoes from the looks of these rolls, though.

For what it's worth ... she gets pretty close to a spare.

Chris Brown & Migos GRAMMY Party Gets Too Bad & Boujee Chris Says Goodbye As Cops Show

Published | Updated

Chris Brown joined the Migos for a pre-GRAMMY turn-up that got way too lit ... and then cut out like he was America's most wanted when cops showed up.

The Migos were hosting a private "Black Tie GRAMMYs" mansion party Saturday night in Bev Hills -- with the R&B singer in tow and his main lady, Vanessa Vargas, at his side.

We're told around 1,500 people filtered in throughout the night, since the address was listed publicly. Eyewitnesses tell us it was PACKED -- so much so that Chris had to take a seat on some blond chick's lap for a while ... as Vanessa watched from a distance.

Sure enough, cops were called around 1:15 AM and spent almost 2 hours breaking up the party and writing up tickets. We're told soon after they showed ... Chris was already riding away in his whip. Hard to tell if Vanessa was with him.

Seems like he wasn't trying to deal with more cops, especially so early in 2017. Can't blame him entirely though ... the place looked chaotic as hell.

Published | Updated

Who needs a boat party ... Odell Beckham is drowning in women in Paris.

The NY Giants superstar blew off some steam at the VIP Room nightclub in France the other night ... where he was surrounded by a bunch of women with their boobs hangin' out.

They seemed to like him. He seemed to like them. Good times all around.

Odell noticed his good friend, Von Miller, was in London -- so he invited the Broncos star to join him in France.

Von and his crew hopped on the train and rolled over to meet Odell ... because that's what you do when you're rich and it's the off-season.

Rick Ross I Puked My Guts Out Drinking With GRONK

Published | Updated

Here's Rick Ross proving that partying with Gronk is almost as dangerous as playing in the NFL ... saying he PUKED HIS GUTS OUT trying to keep up with the Patriots star at a post-Super Bowl turn up.

Ross was on "The Brilliant Idiots" podcast with Charlamagne Tha God & Andrew Schulz when he regurgitated the story of his regurgitation, involving Gronk, a DJ, and too much champagne.

TMZ Sports previously reported The Boss and The Gronk had a MASSIVE turn up at a club in Connecticut Tuesday night ... but we have to admit, we saw no chunks flying from Ross' mouth.

Kudos to not getting any in your beard, bro ...

The Game I Booted Girls for Crashing Not 'Cause They're Dark-Skinned!

Published | Updated

The Game booted a bunch of chicks -- who are black -- from his Super Bowl party, but insists he wasn't racially profiling ... they just weren't on the guest list.

Game told us his side of the story that's getting around the Internet, and has some people labeling him a racist. One of the women posted a video saying she was 86'd for being "dark meat."

That's total BS according to Game -- he explained what happened when he started asking if anyone in the party knew the ladies.

He says considering he gave 'em a fresh pair of socks, plus pizza and drinks ... they've got no business trying to twist this into racism.

Shailene Woodley My 'Big Little Lies' Kid's a Tap Machine

Published | Updated

Shailene Woodley's son on HBO's "Big Little Lies" stole the spotlight from a bunch of A-listers at a big Hollywood event ... thanks to his happy feet.

Iain Armitage is only 8, but his adorable tap dance routine at Tuesday night's premiere party was all anyone was talking about. Shailene even grabbed a front row seat when he showed off his best moves inside the Hollywood Roosevelt. Kid's got zero fear.

Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern and Zoe Kravitz were also there ... without tap shoes ... so the floor was Iain's to dominate.

BTW -- both his parents work on Broadway, which explains why he's a natural.
