Chumlee House Filled with Marijuana, Guns and Signs of Cocaine
11:30 AM PT -- Chumlee's attorneys, David Chesnoff and Richard Schonfeld, tell TMZ ... "We will be analyzing what was allegedly found and whether the alleged seizure was lawful in a courtroom, not in the media. Austin (Chumlee's real name) has great faith in the judicial system, as do we, and looks forward to a just resolution of this matter."
Chumlee's Las Vegas home was loaded with so many drugs and weapons, it's consistent with a drug dealer's setup -- and featured a party spot called the "Chum Chum" room ... according to the police.
TMZ obtained the results of the search cops conducted when they arrested the "Pawn Stars" cast member last week -- and there's a huge laundry list of narcotics.
- 1 gallon Ziploc with 116 grams (1/4 pound) of marijuana
- 2 clear jars of marijuana (8.2 grams and 2.8 grams)
- 1 bag with 4.4 grams marijuana
- 7 clear capsules with 1.7 grams of methamphetamine powder
- 17 Xanax bars
According to cops, Chumlee copped to smoking "a lot of weed" ... but insisted he's not a drug dealer. He said he typically buys in bulk, just for convenience.
Besides weed ... cops also found signs of cocaine use in the "Chum Chum" room, which has a stripper pole. Police say they found a clear plastic baggie with white residue and also a rolled up $1 bill with white residue.
As for weapons ... cops seized 12 firearms, only 4 were registered to Chumlee.
The report confirms police were searching in connection with a sexual assault case in which Chumlee is a suspect. Officers took his bedding and drew blood from him at the jailhouse.

Caitlyn Jenner I'm Hillary Curious
Caitlyn Jenner -- a longtime staunch Republican -- is softening her political views, or at least she's "willing to listen" ... as she puts it.

Judge Judy Agent Sues I Want My Piece of the Pie
The agent who claims to have discovered Judge Judy has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the company that produces the show, claiming the honchos are screwing them out of profits ... but Judy is scoffing at the suit saying the guy behind it is just an ingrate.
Rebel Entertainment, which is run by Richard Lawrence, claims the show has raked in $1.7 BILLION since it debuted in 1996, yet the honchos at production company Big Ticket and CBS say the show is operating at a loss.
According to the suit, which includes CBS as a defendant, Lawrence met Judy 20 years ago and put the show together, with a deal that he and his company would get 5% of net profits. The suit claims they haven't seen a penny since 2010.
Rebel claims Judy had her salary doubled in 2009 to a whopping $45 million, virtually wiping out any profits. There are reports Judy makes $47 mil a year.
Judy has issued a blistering statement, saying, "The fact that Richard Lawrence is complaining about my salary is actually hilarious. I met Mr. Lawrence for 2 hours some 21 years ago. Neither I nor anyone involved in the day-to-day production of my program has heard from him in 20 years. Not a card, not a gift, not a flower, not a congratulations, yet he has somehow received over $17,000,000 from my program."
Judy goes on, "My rudimentary math translates that into $8,500,000 an hour for Mr. Lawrence. Not a bad payday. Now complaining about not getting enough money, that's real chutzpah!"
BTW ... this is rich. We looked at the lawsuit ... Lawrence and his company spelled Judy's last name wrong throughout ... it's spelled Sheindlin ... they spelled it Scheindlin.

Cesar Millan Dog & Pig Method 'Just Plain Dumb' ... Claims Veteran Trainer
Cesar Millan was "dumb and irresponsible" when he put that unleashed dog and pig in the same kennel, and the woman who blew the whistle is adamant ... Cesar should be charged.
TMZ spoke with the woman, a veteran dog trainer with 20 years experience, and she believes Cesar used the pig as bait, instead of slowly integrating the animals together. She claims the proper protocol would have been first putting the pig and dog in pens next to one another, and THEN together on leash.
As we previously reported, Cesar says the pig and dog are fine and now get along -- but the anonymous dog trainer thinks he's downplaying the severity of the pig's injury.
She says Cesar and Nat Geo should be held accountable for what she calls a ratings ploy. She wants him charged for animal cruelty, and wants the pig off his property, and his practices monitored moving forward.
Cesar maintains his methods are sound.

Cesar Millan The Pig's Okay ... Now It Walks the Dog
Cesar Millan insists the pig that was bitten by an over aggressive dog during a training session ... is totally fine now, and video from his show proves it.
TMZ broke the story ... Animal Control went to Cesar's training center to investigate an incident shown on "Cesar 911." He was trying to train a French bulldog with a penchant for attacking its owner's pot-bellied pigs -- but the dog ended up biting a pig's ear.
Nat Geo, which airs the show, says Cesar created a "safe and controlled environment" to rehabilitate aggressive dogs. It stresses he took precautions before "making initial corrections and removing the leash." And although the dog attacked it says the pig was tended to immediately, healed and showed "no lasting signs of distress."
Video shows Cesar putting the dog and the pig back together the next day ... and the pig actually walks its attacker.
It's unclear if the clip is enough to clear Cesar from animal cruelty charges, but Nat Geo seems to be saying ... since the dog was cured, the end justifies the means.
