'Teen Mom' Jenelle -- The Bikini Danger Zone
Just weeks after beating the crap out of another girl ... "Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans slipped into her bikini yesterday and got right back into ANOTHER dangerous situation at a local beach.
19-year-old Evans -- who's currently on probation stemming from a drug-related conviction -- was surrounded by beer and beer drinkers at Yaupon Pier in North Carolina Thursday.
Jenelle's lawyer insists the MTV star DID NOT engage in any illegal alcohol consumption -- but for someone who's already on thin ice with the law ... and who has a child ... putting herself in the midst of temptation is one hell of a risk.

'Teen Mom' Pusher: Jenelle Got PAID for Fight Video
The girl who shoved "Teen Mom 2" star Jenelle Evans before that fight erupted ... is dropping a dime -- BIG TIME -- claiming Jenelle was actually in on a plot to make money off the brawl.
Brittany Maggard claims Jenelle only got up the guts to fight Britany Truett -- the eventual ass-beat victim -- because Maggard, Maggard's sister, and their friend Nick had her back. Maggard says Nick had the video camera.
After the fight, Maggard claims she and Nick came up with the idea to sell the video -- and Jenelle not only thought it was a "good idea" ... but SHE called "someone she knows at a [photo] agency to purchase the video."
According to Maggard, they sold the vid for $5,000 -- and Jenelle wanted a bigger cut because, as she said, "You wouldn't get any money if I wasn't famous!"
Jenelle's attorney says he doesn't believe Maggard's accusations.

'Teen Mom' Pusher Arrested 2nd Time in a Week
Brittany Maggard -- the girl who triggered the now-infamous "Teen Mom" brawl with a push -- was arrested yesterday afternoon for violating her probation.
Brittany -- who is on probation for a separate assault case -- got on the wrong side of her probation officer, who found out about the "Teen Mom" fight first posted on TMZ. After Brittany's arrest this week, the Department of Corrections of North Carolina set the wheels in motion to have her popped for violating probation -- which requires her to obey all laws.
Brittany is bitter, telling TMZ it's not fair she's in more trouble than the other girls in the fight and all she did was push Jenelle. She says she's "terrified."
Brittany got out of jail this AM by posting $5,000 bond.

Teen Mom Lawyer on Charges: It's a Set Up!
The lawyer for "Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans tells TMZ ... his client is the victim of a set up, and money is at the bottom of it all.
Dustin Sullivan, Jenelle's lawyer, tells us he has a "serious problem" with the fact that Brittany Maggard -- the woman who pushed Jenelle before the brawl -- and other parties involved were "paid substantially" for pictures and videos related to the incident.
Sullivan says it's suspicious that cameras were present when Jenelle arrived -- indeed, Sullivan says, multiple cameras were present capturing different angles of the impending brawl.
Sullivan is in the process of interviewing witnesses to determine if Britany Truett -- the woman who caught the beatdown -- pre-programmed the melee.
And, Sullivan says, it's "highly suspicious" Britany waited five days before calling the cops.
Sullivan says if there's proof of a set up, he will make that a centerpiece of the case when it goes before a jury.
