Chauncy Glover -- a local Los Angeles news anchor -- died from acute intoxication by a pair of drugs including methamphetamine ... TMZ has learned.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner released a statement Wednesday determining Glover died from "acute intoxication by the combined effects of chloroethane and methamphetamine."

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, chloroethane is a colorless, flammable gas used to numb the skin before piercings and to treat sports injuries. It's unclear how Glover came into contact with it.

The death has been ruled an accident, but the full medical examiner's report won't be ready until the end of next month, the press release states.

Blake Lively's new allegations against Justin Baldoni are missing one critical thing -- cold hard proof he did her wrong ... at least that's how Justin's attorney is reading the documents.

Bryan Freedman tells TMZ, he found Blake's amended lawsuit -- filed late Tuesday night -- "underwhelming" when it comes to any new facts or anything damning against his client.

Freedman says the suit is "filled with unsubstantial hearsay of unnamed persons who are clearly no longer willing to come forward or publicly support her claims." He adds that his clients -- Baldoni, his publicists, and Wayfarer Studios -- "have been transparent in providing receipts, real time documents and video showing a completely different story than what has been manipulated and cherry picked to the media."

10:12 AM PT -- Drake Bell has since deleted the Instagram post.

Drake Bell is furious with Hollywood for keeping the doors wide open for those who defend abusers -- calling out actor Taran Killam as a prime example.

The former Nickelodeon star -- who bravely shared his sexual abuse allegations against ex-dialogue coach Brian Peck in "Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV" -- posted a pic of Taran on his TV screen with the scathing caption, "Write a letter defending an abuser and Hollywood will always hire you."

Here comes the big reveal (translation: last chance to look away) ...

R. Kelly's attorney is clapping back at 'SNL' after the show took a jab at him during its 50th anniversary special this weekend.

Kelly's lawyer, Jennifer Bonjean, tells TMZ she finds it "Rather arrogant that SNL sees it as their job to decide, belatedly, who should and should not be canceled."

In case you missed it, 'SNL50' made light of its more controversial moments over the years with an "In Memoriam" segment, highlighting its "problematic guests" -- including R. Kelly, Diddy, O.J. Simpson, Jared Fogle and Robert Blake.

Joe Tacopina is ready to flex his legal muscles in court again ... telling us he's feeling good about getting A$AP Rocky off the hook in a criminal assault trial.

O.J. Simpson was the butt of a John Mulaney joke during the "Saturday Night Live" 50th Anniversary show ... and it got a laugh from the guy overseeing his estate.

The Juice's longtime attorney and current executor of his estate, Malcolm LaVergne, tells TMZ ... Steve Martin's monologue with John Mulaney was great, and John's joke about accused murderers hosting the show was very funny.

In the opening Mulaney observed, "894 people have hosted 'Saturday Night Live,' and it amazes me that only two of them have committed murder."

Arnold Schwarzenegger bared it all in "Terminator" 40 years ago ... and now his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, is keeping the family tradition alive -- going full frontal in "The White Lotus."

The HBO show's season 3 kicked off Sunday night, and Patrick's character, Saxon Ratliff, wasted no time -- he checked into the luxe Thai resort with his family, and then promptly checked out of his clothes in a full-on NSFW scene.

After striking out with the ladies at the resort, Saxon decided to handle business himself in the scene. He hopped out of bed, butt-naked, strolled to the bathroom, and just when you thought that was it … BAM! The camera swung around, and yep, everything was on display!

Kim Kardashian's famous backside made an early appearance on the 50th anniversary special for "Saturday Night Live" ... with Kristen Wiig pretending to smack on her behind like bongos.

In the first sketch after the monologue on 'SNL50,' Kardashian appeared as one of the Maharelle Sisters -- the singing quartet with three gorgeous sisters and then Dooneese, a character played by Wiig with a huge forehead, tiny hands and a nasally singing voice.

In this particular version, Will Ferrell -- playing Robert Goulet -- is on "The Lawrence Welk Show" trying to find choose between three women Ana Gasteyer, Scarlett Johansson and Kardashian ... but, Dooneese keeps getting in the way.
