Alan O'Neill died from drinking too much and from the injuries he suffered in a nasty fall.

The L.A. County Coroner's Office confirms the "Sons of Anarchy" actor died of chronic alcohol overconsumption. According to the Coroner's report ... other significant factors in his death include blunt force head trauma and heart disease.

The Coroner's Office tells TMZ ... O'Neill had fallen at home while drunk. The death has been ruled an accident.

We broke the story ... O'Neill's girlfriend found his body when she went to his home on June 6.

The Irish-born actor had been working steadily in Hollywood since the '90s. Most notably, he played Hugh on seasons 6 and 7 of "Sons of Anarchy," ... as well as Keith McGrath in "Fair City."

His cause of death was first reported by People.

Roseanne's moving on from saying sorry after her latest attempt didn't go so well, and has a message for people who don't appreciate her jokes -- 'F**k off."

We spoke with Roseanne Friday -- after her TV apology to Valerie Jarrett ended with a diss on Jarrett's haircut -- and asked if her "joke" was distracting from other points she made on Sean Hannity's show Thursday night.

Roseanne's response -- "They hate jokes. They should f**k off."

As for whether she's going to lay off Jarrett now ... she tells us we'll have to wait and see.

Roseanne also spoke with Rabbi Shmuley more about being ousted from her ABC show ... and says the real tragedy is she had noble plans for Season 2 ... including hiring African-American writers.

As we reported ... Barr claims ABC fired her because she supports Donald Trump, and tells the Rabbi she was constantly outnumbered on "Roseanne" by a bunch of Trump-haters.

50 Cent's going with the ole "everyone's doing it, Mom" explanation for why he posted a screengrab from 'Love and Hip Hop' star Teairra Mari's sex tape.

Fiddy filed his response to Teairra's revenge porn lawsuit, and in the docs he says the image he posted -- showing Teairra with ejaculate on her face -- was already all over the Internet when he reposted it. He says the fact others beat him to the punch protects him legally.

As for Teairra's argument he went beyond a basic repost by applying a black & white filter "to highlight the color contrast of the semen" ... 50 says even if that's true, he didn't change the nature of the photo.

50 also echoes a statement the judge made last month -- that the photo doesn't fall under revenge porn because it doesn't show genitals or a sexual act in progress. In flagrante delicto, in Latin.

Roseanne Barr took a crack at an on-air apology to Valerie Jarrett for posting a racist tweet about her, but it didn't go too well ... especially at the very end.

Roseanne was speaking on Sean Hannity's show Thursday night about her notorious tweet and the fallout that came after, when Hannity gave her a chance to look at the camera and say sorry to Jarrett.

Barr used the opportunity to drop a sort of half-apology, but even that was better than how she decided to wrap it up -- by insulting Valerie's haircut.

Roseanne's TV appearance comes after she's been hard at work with her son to create her own content, with the mission being -- ironically -- to get her unfiltered and true story out there -- not the media's.

As you know ... Roseanne's hit ABC show was canned after she compared Valerie to an ape on Twitter. She's tried to excuse it away -- first by blaming Ambien, then by claiming she thought "the bitch was white" -- while also alleging ABC really fired her because she's a Donald Trump supporter.

ABC has since revived "Roseanne" with a reboot/spin-off centered around the Conner family ... but without Roseanne, of course.

50 Cent was mum on his feud with Floyd Mayweather but proved once again why he's a successful business man ... jumping at an opportunity to promote Kendrick Lamar on his show, "Power."

50 was at LAX Thursday, where our photog peppered him with questions about his back and forth with Floyd -- the two have been trading jabs on social media all week -- but 50 didn't say a peep.

Our photog then turned the focus to Kendrick Lamar's upcoming guest spot on "Power" and 50 was all ears -- giving mad props -- even talking awards.

Sacha Baron Cohen is unfairly making the citizens of Kingman, Arizona look like a bunch of backwater racists ... according to the city's mayor.

Mayor Monica Gates tells us last week's episode of "Who Is America?" is total BS because she doesn't think it was even shot in her city. She says she doesn't recognize the venue or any of the people in the room.

The segment was supremely unflattering to Kingman -- a disguised Sacha told the roomful of citizens the world's largest mosque outside of the Middle East was going to be built there. The reaction ranged from hilarious to scarily racist ... not only against Muslims.

As for the people in the room NOT being legit Kingman residents? Some of the people who got duped sounded off afterward, and we checked the names that were public -- they DO live there.

Check out why Mayor Gates says there's no need for a new mosque in her city, anyway. It's not what you think.

Sacha Baron Cohen doesn't dupe and ditch when it comes to the art dealer he made look foolish on his show, "Who Is America?" -- instead he sent her some real sh***y art.

Christy Cones is the art expert at Laguna Beach's Coast Gallery who met with Cohen's ex-con character, Rick Sherman, in the premiere episode. She tells us, Cohen sent the now infamous portrait of her, sketched out of feces. He also included a letter from "Rick."

In the letter, he explains what happened to the fecal (not really, we hope) art piece, and includes a pretty funny update on his life.

"Catharsis on Christy" is now back in her possession, and Coast Gallery's slapped a $1 million price tag on it, so if you're in the market ... this should deuce.

Cones says, since her appearance on Cohen's show, the gallery's had a big uptick in visitors, and a much-less-desired increase in people sending pubic hair.

If you don't know why ... check out Christy's appearance on the premiere episode.

Josh Radnor's neighbor just got permission from the City of Angels to destroy Josh's massive, $130,000 deck.

The "How I Met Your Mother" star and his neighbor have been feuding over the 1,300 square foot deck, which Josh built on the neighbor's property. Josh has an easement for access to that portion of the property, but doesn't own it, and the neighbor has already sued him to tear it down.

Looks like the lawsuit is no longer necessary, because the City of L.A. just sent a letter to the neighbor giving him permission to rip the crap out of the deck ... demolishing it. Turns out Josh built the structure without permits ... a big no no for the City, and it just got real.

Chris Hardwick has a green light to return to hosting 'Talking Dead' after what AMC says was a thorough investigation into the sexual assault allegations made by his ex-girlfriend.

The network announced Wednesday Hardwick has been reinstated, and will be back to work on 'Dead' and "Talking with Chris Hardwick."

AMC adds ... "We take these matters very seriously and given the information available to us after a very careful review, including interviews with numerous individuals, we believe returning Chris to work is the appropriate step."

As we reported ... Hardwick's ex-girlfriend, Chloe Dykstra, accused him of emotional and sexual abuse during their relationship. Hardwick denied the allegations and insisted he broke things off with Dykstra in 2014 because she cheated on him.

That was fast. Not long after Roseanne said she wanted to have Valerie Jarrett on her new talk show, so they can hash things out, the former Obama aide happily rejected the disgraced comedian with 1 simple word -- NO!!!

We got Valerie at JFK Airport on Wednesday and straight-up asked if she'd be willing sit down with Roseanne. As you know ... Roseanne compared Valerie to an ape, prompting ABC to cancel her show. Roseanne tried apologizing and later said, "I thought the bitch was white!" Valerie's African-American.

Roseanne wants to clear things up with Valerie (in the nude, no less), but it's crystal clear Valerie wants nothing to do with her. Valerie even took a subtle swipe at the comedian ... pulling a Mariah with a "Roseanne who?" when she joined the gals on "The View."

Roseanne Barr wants to hash things out with Valerie Jarrett once and for all, but she doesn't want anything to come between them ... like clothing.

Roseanne was at LAX Wednesday morning when we asked her about the new content she's working on with her son, Jake Pentland, for her YouTube channel. We raised the possibility of a tete-a-tete with Barack Obama's former aide ... considering ABC canned Roseanne over her racist tweet about Valerie.

She says she's down for it, with one major caveat -- nudity. Sounds bizarre, but still ... much better way to reach out than what she said last week.

We're pretty sure she's joking about going au naturel for her new show, but Roseanne got serious the instant we compared her to James Gunn ... the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' director who got fired over his own scandalous tweets.

Britney Spears brought Andy Cohen onstage during her concert in New York City Tuesday night, but the question is: did she even know who the heck the 'Watch What Happens Live' host was?

Cohen crawled across the stage in bondage at Radio City Music Hall as Spears performed "Freakshow." She pulls someone out of the crowd at every show, but it's an impressive performance on Cohen's part -- he REALLY seemed like a regular.

Also interesting is the fact Brit never said his name. Instead, she went with, “I think you all know who this is … Give it up for him!”

Sacha Baron Cohen has taken down his first politician ... Georgia lawmaker Jason Spencer is stepping down after showing his bare ass and yelling the n-word on Cohen's show.

The Republican state assemblyman initially said he would not resign, but bowed to pressure from other state lawmakers who threatened a special session to oust him if he didn't quit.

Spencer embarrassed the hell out of himself on Sunday's episode of "Who Is America?" when he appeared in a segment where Cohen pretended to be an ex-Israeli military officer offering anti-terrorism training. Spencer repeatedly yelled, "N***er!!" as a way to attract attention during an attack ... and also dropped his pants to weaponize homophobia. Yeah, it was freakin' bizarre.

The assemblyman said Cohen took advantage of his "paralyzing fear that my family would be attacked."

Nikki Bella's taking a big step in her relationship with John Cena ... a step AWAY from him.

Sources close to Nikki tell TMZ ... she's started shopping on her own for a home in the La Jolla area of San Diego. Despite their breakup, we're told she's been living at John's place in that area ... but he's been traveling in China.

As we've told you, Nikki and John have been trying to reconcile since she broke off their engagement in April, but when we last saw them together on a dinner date last month ... things didn't look so good.

Our sources say Nikki really wants to have her independence back and "figure herself out" -- a sign things may be over with Cena, at least for now. We're told she's looking to stay in the same area to be close to her sister, Brie.

Nikki's a first-time home buyer, and we're told her budget is just over $1 mil. We're told she wants a place with at least 4 bedrooms, good security and a pool. She's already scoped out 2 homes in gated communities.

As for the breakup -- the moment Nikki called off the engagement happened on camera, and it's airing on Sunday night's season finale of "Total Bellas."

Demi Lovato was scheduled to appear on Tuesday night's episode of "Beat Shazam," but FOX has replaced it following her apparent heroin overdose ... TMZ has learned.

FOX says, "In light of recent reports, we have decided to replace the episode of BEAT SHAZAM with another all-new episode. Our thoughts go out to Demi and her family."

We're told Demi's guest appearance -- with host Jamie Foxx -- was taped back in December. Demi promoted the episode to her 56 million followers on Twitter just a few hours before she was rushed to the hospital.

Additionally, Demi's Thursday night concert in Atlantic City has been canceled.

Leonardo DiCaprio's new wingman is Scott Eastwood, at least when it comes to summer beach volleyball. Hide your eyes, Tobey Maguire.

The actors got some action in the sand Sunday in Malibu, and looks like the match was going their way -- a lot of bro-in' down between serves.

Leo's been getting tons of v-ball practice lately. We saw him dishing at a Fourth of July party while co-hosting with Sean Penn. Leo went at it again a couple weeks later ... going up against Ansel Elgort.

One thing we've noticed about Leo is, for whatever reason, he prefers keeping on his white tees while others in the game opt for skins. Hard to blame him, Eastwood's 11 years younger, and well ... look at him.
