Drew Barrymore's alleged stalker, a man named Chad Michael Busto, now has a warrant out for his arrest after failing to show up to get a GPS monitor from authorities.
Southampton Town Justice Court Clerk Heather Drapal tells TMZ ... a judge has issued a bench warrant for Busto in connection with last month's case when Busto was arrested after cops say he showed up uninvited to her Hamptons home.
We're told Busto was set to get fitted for a GPS monitor by cops but never showed ... so now police are looking to apprehend him again.
As we reported, cops say Busto went house-to-house in her Hamptons neighborhood a couple of weeks ago, eventually finding her $6 million property and walking onto some steps outside before he was cuffed. We're told Drew wasn't home at the time.
Of course, that arrest came just 2 days after video showed Busto rushing the stage during a 92NY interview she was holding with singer/actress Reneé Rapp. You can hear him demanding to see Drew and claiming she knew who he was.
We were told there were no complaints from this incident and cops didn't respond as a result ... but they are certainly looking for him now.

Amen, Ausar Thompson Coach Chews Out Hoops Stars ... In New Prime Video Series
Amen and Ausar Thompson were the 4th and 5th picks in June's NBA Draft, but the star basketball players weren't immune to getting ripped by their coach last season ... and the intense moment was captured on camera in a new docuseries featuring the bros!
The twin brothers are starring in Prime Video's "One Shot: Overtime Elite" ... which follows Amen and Ausar's rise as two of the best players in the country at Overtime Elite in Atlanta.
Despite their immense talent, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the NBA lottery picks.
"I asked you two to give me something, didn't I?" assistant coach Corey Frazier screamed at the Thompsons during a timeout ... as their City Reapers trailed the Yng Dreamerz by double digits on January 20th.
"Don't say s*** right now, just listen! I said 'leadership.' I don't see it! I see a bunch of one-on-ones!"
Frazier was upset with the way the team was playing, and the brothers (who once graced the cover of Sports Illustrated) got the brunt of the blame as the team's best players.
The message was clearly received loud and clear ... the Reapers charged back after being down 16 at the half, ultimately winning 76-64.
Amen dropped 12 points and dished out 6 assists during the game. He also grabbed 7 rebounds. Ausar scored 10 points, and had 7 assists and 8 boards.
Eli Ellis, Amen and Ausar's teammate, was the game's high scorer. He scored 28 points ... and contributed to a dominating 4th quarter, where the Reapers outscored their opponents 36-16.
The City Reapers' winning ways continued ... and the team ultimately finished with the best record and the OTE league title.
All told, the show gives a cool behind-the-scenes look at the Thompsons as they not only hooped in the super competitive, six-team league ... but also prepared for the draft.
When summer rolled around, Amen, a shooting guard, ended up going 4th to the Houston Rockets. His brother didn't have to wait long. With the next pick, the fifth, Ausar, a shooting guard, was selected by the Detroit Pistons.
One Shot hit Prime Video on Tuesday!

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are headed to divorce court, because TMZ has learned Joe has filed legal docs to end his marriage.
Joe is asking for joint custody of their 2 daughters, 3-year-old Willa and their 1-year-old.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Joe and Sophie have a prenup -- something Joe also addresses in his divorce docs, obtained by TMZ. There's more in here as it pertains to their kids -- including the fact that Joe wants a judge to establish a parenting plan between him and Sophie that allows for "frequent and continuing contact with both parties."
Another interesting tidbit in his petition ... Joe confirms what we've known since this weekend -- namely, that the two children have been residing with him of late. Here in the docs, though, he makes sure to note where ... Miami, as well as "other locations throughout the United States." In other words, he's been taking them with him on the road as he's toured.
The issue of child support is also addressed in Joe's docs ... he says both parents can pay to support their children and that they should both be required to do so. With that said, JJ wants a Florida court to establish what's fair ... and to take health insurance for the kids into consideration in determining that.
TMZ broke the story ... the couple has been having problems for around 6 months. Joe has been shopping for divorce lawyers for at least a week. He filed in Florida. He's repped by Tom Sasser, who handled Tiger Woods' divorce.
As for why Joe filed for divorce ... a source with direct knowledge tells us this ... "She likes to party, he likes to stay at home. They have very different lifestyles."
As we reported, Joe has been taking care of the children pretty much all of the time over the last 3 months. When it comes time to hash out a custody arrangement, he could ask for significantly more than 50% physical custody, and our sources say that's likely.
Joe and Sophie started dating in 2016, got engaged the following year and tied the knot in a Vegas ceremony in 2019.
It's the first marriage for both 34-year-old Joe and 27-year-old Sophie.
We covered Joe and Sophie's split on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Bob Barker's cause of death has been revealed as a result of Alzheimer's disease, TMZ has learned.
According to his death certificate, obtained by TMZ, the 99-year-old 'Price Is Right' icon suffered from Alzheimer's, something he's never addressed publicly before. It's unclear exactly how long Bob battled the disease, but the docs say his death came "years" after his Alzheimer's began.
You'll recall, Bob also suffered multiple falls over the years -- he had minor battles with skin cancer, and took 2 trips to the hospital for issues with his back in 2018.
For those unaware, Bob -- who has been a vegetarian for over 4 decades -- teamed up with PETA back in 2013 to highlight the benefits of the diet, saying giving up meat can help prevent the onset of the brain disorder.
TMZ broke the story, Bob's rep told us he died peacefully at his Los Angeles home on August 26 ... and his passing has been met with an outpour of love across the globe.
CBS thanked Bob for "making countless people's dreams come true" for decades on "The Price Is Right" ... and PETA said his longtime involvement with the org cemented him as "a national animal rights treasure."
A majority of Bob's estate is to be divvied up and donated to over 40 different animal rights organizations and military nonprofits -- still giving back to the community, even in death.

Gary Busey Allegedly Involved In Hit-&-Run ... Video Shows Confrontation on PCH

SEPTEMBER 2023
Gary Busey was chased down by a woman who claims he rear-ended her car in Malibu and then just beat it ... and she's got some hardcore receipts in the form of video.
The woman tells TMZ ... she was driving down PCH Wednesday and Busey whipped out of a shopping center, slamming into her back bumper. Rather than pulling over, she says Busey fled the scene.
She went into hot pursuit mode, following him on PCH, and that's where the video begins. She screams at him that he rear-ended her, but Busey blows her off and keeps driving.
The woman follows Busey to a parking lot outside a restaurant, where she's just incredulous ... schooling him on the law requiring him to stay put and exchange information.
Busey's response was, to say the least, unsatisfactory. He simply told her, "I'm private."
He does volunteer his insurance carrier is Progressive, but that's about it. Busey drives away as the woman is screaming at him.
Here's the thing. She obviously doesn't have video of the crash, but his reaction is more than telling. Plus, you see the damage on her car and his as well.
Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the woman filed a hit-and-run report and detectives will investigate. BTW, leaving the scene of a car accident that results in property damage or injury is a crime.
We reached out to Busey's team for comment ... so far, no word back.

Olivia beelined it to court recently and filed for a temporary restraining order against a woman named Sabine Spekreijse, whom she claims got physical with her during an August incident.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Olivia says she was over at her boyfriend Paul Hogan's place when Sabine showed up and started screaming obscenities at them. Olivia says the alleged behavior "could only be described as unhinged."
Olivia claims Sabine sat down next to her on the sofa, digging her fingernails into her thigh as hard as she could, leaving a cut and scratches. Olivia says she didn't fight back out of fear of provoking Sabine, who she says is way bigger than her at 6'1".
The actress, who played Cindy Brady in the "Brady Bunch" movies, says she called police, but Sabine left before cops arrived. She claims Sabine came back the next morning, banging on the door until they told her to leave.
Olivia also claims Sabine calls her boyfriend relentlessly when they are together, even though she says they've been separated for 3 years.
A judge granted Olivia a temporary restraining order, and Sabine's been ordered to stay at least 100 yards from Olivia, her home, her job and her car.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Details 2018 Comeback Story ... After Open Heart Surgery
Arnold Schwarzenegger is chronicling his comeback after open heart surgery in his own words -- while also giving folks a peek at how he did it ... with never-before-seen footage.
The movie star and former bodybuilder blasted out a new newsletter item to members of his health and fitness group, Arnold's Pump Club ... which has some Monday Motivation to get them active and on their feet. For today's catalyst, he shared a very personal story.
He gets into the 2018 medical scare that almost claimed his life. You'll recall, AS was supposed to go into a routine, non-invasive procedure at the time ... but quickly turned much more serious after something went wrong and required full-blown open heart surgery.
Somehow, Arnold was able to recuperate from that procedure in record time -- as he describes in this new video of his, he had a movie to shoot -- and we're getting a chance to see how he went about doing it for the very first time on camera. It's quite something.
As Arnold himself explains ... there were a few things he needed to ensure he left the hospital -- and it all started with a clear vision and a plan of action, which started with him showing he could walk on his own two feet. With the help of friends, Arnold did just that.
We'll let him explain the rest, but essentially ... Arnold's trying to spark some inspiration into anyone who needs motivation to turn their life around and to bring about new lifestyle.
It's pretty inspirational -- as is just about everything the guy does -- and it's also vulnerable.
BTW, feel free to check out Arnold's newsletter here ... it's got great tidbits and exercise recommendations. Indeed, Mr. Olympia is still pumping away -- helping others do the same.

Jimmy Fallon Chalamet Puppet Tale Is Bogus ... Puppet Maker Says Don't Blame Me

Exclusive
- 307 shares
Jimmy Fallon's spinning quite the story about the creator of the Timothée Chalamet puppet he uses on the 'Tonight Show' ... at least according to the guy, who says he had nothing to do with shutting down one of Jimmy's skits.
Here's the deal ... Jimmy told the tale on his new podcast, "Strike Force Five" -- which he launched with fellow late-night talk show hosts Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and John Oliver.
In the pod's premiere episode, Jimmy said Timothée wasn't a fan of the look-alike doll, and the plan was to have the actor destroy the puppet during a 'Tonight Show' appearance ... that is until Chris Alan, the puppet creator, chimed in and said he was offended. According to Jimmy, the whole bit was then scrapped.
Chris tells us he was shocked when he heard Jimmy on the podcast because according to him, it's 100% false. He says no one reached out to him about killing the puppet ... and, if they had, he wouldn't care, because the 'Tonight Show' bought it from him.
Now, he does say he had a convo with Timothée's team when the "Dune" star was going to be a 'Tonight Show' guest in 2019. Chris says they planned to flip the script on the host with a Fallon puppet.
Chris whipped one up in just 3 weeks time, but at the last minute Timothée's team scrapped the whole idea.
Obviously, we're not talking capital crimes here, but in fairness to Chris ... he feels like Jimmy's podcast tale is painting him as a villain.
Y'know the ole saying ... puppets, the root of all evil.

It's a point of contention for Chris, who tells us the Shreveport police didn't properly investigate the scene back in June 2020 and he's now preparing to sue for all damages and lost wages.
A jury determined Chris acted in self-defense when he shot and killed Danzeria Farris Jr. at a Texaco station in their hometown ... but only, he claims, after a key investigator was nailed on the stand for failing to track the witnesses and identify the threat on Chris' life.

Chris says the situation left him remorseful, as he's actually friends with some of the deceased's family members. He's excited to resume his career ... which will include acting.
Chris says he had to miss out on auditions for hit TV shows such as "Snowfall" and 50 Cent's "BMF" ... roles he says his real-life experiences would've enabled him to slay.

Check out this video we obtained ... you can see that James went past the barricade and was right up on the sidewalk, facing off with what one can presume would be management.
Somewhat dramatically ... he pours some red liquid onto the sidewalk and points it out to Louis Vuitton -- echoing what the protesters behind are shouting. Earlier, he made an impassioned speech in support of veganism -- and laying out what they were there for.
Of course, this has to do with the use of real fur -- something LVMH has been accused of using to this day. As for James ... he's been in this animal rights world for a long time.
And yes, he's still going.

However, it looks like he goes back and forth between putting it on and taking it off. Just yesterday, he posted a shot of him and his brothers for Labor Day ... and there, he's wearing it. Of course, some fans took that to mean everything's A-OK -- which we know it isn't.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Regardless of whether he rocks the ring or doesn't ... our sources are firm on this much -- their marriage is circling the drain and on its way to family court in due time.
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are headed toward divorce ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Joe had his people contact and consult with at least 2 L.A.-area divorce lawyers and he is on the cusp of filing divorce docs to end his marriage to Sophie.
Our sources say the couple has had "serious problems" for at least 6 months.
We're told over the last 3 months, Joe has been caring for their 2 young children "pretty much all of the time," even as his band was touring. We're told Joe currently has both kids, as the group plays around the U.S.
On the surface, it seems there's been no outward signs of trouble. Joe and Sophie have attended events together. However, in recent weeks ... Joe has been seen not wearing his ring.
And they recently sold their Miami mansion. They bought that place just a year ago ... and sold it fairly quickly, for a decent profit.
Joe and Sophie first linked up in 2016 ... and got engaged a year later. In 2019, they were married -- Vegas-style -- and have been living the family life ever since ... quickly welcoming their first kid in 2020 ... and another in 2022. A lot has happened for them in 4 years.
Professionally, Joe and Sophie have been busy -- mostly JJ, though. He's gone on tour with his brothers recently and is scheduled to perform through the winter. Sophie's done some TV/movie stuff in recent years -- but isn't nearly as active as she was during her 'GoT' days.
BTW, they're both still young ... Joe's just 34, and Sophie's only 27.

Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner Se divorcian
Actualización
10:29 AM PT -- Aquí hay una foto de Joe andando sin anillo hace apenas unas semanas en Nueva York, mientras iba por un café.
Sin embargo, parece que el rostro de Jonas Brothers va y viene en eso de ponerse y sacarse el anillo. Ayer mismo publicó una foto de él y sus hermanos durante el Día del Trabajo, en donde aparecía con él puesto. Por supuesto, algunas fans tomaron esta foto como una señal de que estaba todo bien, lo que sabemos que no es así.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Independientemente de si lleva o no el anillo, nuestras fuentes son firmes en decir que su matrimonio está dando vueltas por el desagüe y se dirige a los tribunales de familia.
Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner estarían por divorciarse, según ha indagado TMZ.
Fuentes con conocimiento directo le han dicho a TMZ, que Joe le pidió a su gente que se contacte con al menos dos abogados de divorcio en Los Ángeles, y que estaría a punto de presentar los documentos de divorcio para poner fin a su matrimonio con Sophie.
Nuestras fuentes también dicen que la pareja ha tenido "serios problemas" durante al menos seis meses.
Agregan que en los últimos tres meses, Joe ha estado cuidando de sus dos hijas pequeñas "casi todo el tiempo", incluso mientras andaba de gira con su banda. Nos dicen que actualmente Joe está con las dos niñas, mientras su grupo toca por todo EE.UU.
A primera vista, pareciera que no hay signos de problemas en la pareja. Joe y Sophie han asistido a algunos eventos juntos. Sin embargo, en las últimas semanas el cantante y músico ha sido visto sin su anillo de matrimonio.
Y recientemente vendieron su mansión de Miami. La pareja había comprado el lugar hace apenas un año y lo pusieron en venta bastante rápido por una ganancia decente.
Joe y Sophie se engancharon por primera vez en 2016 y se comprometieron un año después. En 2019 se casaron -al estilo de Las Vegas- y han estado viviendo una vida familiar desde entonces, dando la bienvenida rápidamente a su primera hija en 2020 y, a otra en 2022. Muchas cosas han pasado en estos 4 años.
Profesionalmente, Joe y Sophie han estado ocupados, sobre todo JJ. Junto a su banda ha estado de gira recientemente y tiene previsto actuar durante el invierno. Sophie, por su parte, ha hecho algunas cosas en televisión y cine en los últimos años. Pero ya no está tan activa como en sus días junto a Game of Thrones.
Por cierto, ambos son jóvenes... Joe tiene 34 años y Sophie solo 27.
Nos pusimos en contacto con los representantes de ambos y hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta.
