Justin Bieber's Dad Partner In Crime
Justin Bieber's father helped facilitate the insanely stupid moves of his son that landed him in jail ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us ... 38-year-old Jeremy Bieber was not only present when Justin was arrested early Thursday morning ... he was one of the people who helped block off the residential street so his son could drag race.
It's even worse ... Jeremy was in SET nightclub just before the arrest with Justin and was around him all day, when the self-confessed little pothead was smoking weed.
As we reported ... Justin admitted that he was under the influence of Rx drugs, alcohol and weed at the time of his arrest ... and Justin's dad was right there in the mix.
Unbelievable.

Ke$ha TOOTH BLOCKED Rehab Won't Let Singer Accept Human Teeth from Fans
Ke$ha's gonna have to find a new art project in rehab ... one that doesn't involve asking her fans to send in their teeth ... because her treatment center tells TMZ they have a strict no-tooth policy.
While Ke$ha is still being treated for an eating disorder, the singer recently had a friend post a message on Twitter asking her fans to send in their chompers so she could "make art" to pass the time.
As weird as it sounds, K's been dabbling in tooth art for a while ... using real teeth in bras, bandanas and various pieces of jewelry.
But a rep for the rehab center tells TMZ ... there will be no canine crafting during her stint in treatment because "We can't accept human remains."
The rep explains, "There is always a risk that it could be of bio-hazardous material so we are not able to bring in anything that's real."
However, the center WILL accept fake teeth ... if her fans wanna round up a bunch of falsies.
So, chew on that.

Suge Knight Arrest Warrant Issued Dude Never Shows Up in Court!
Suge Knight is now a wanted man ... because a judge just issued a bench warrant for his arrest ... and it's pretty ironic, because he was supposed to show up on another warrant that was issued for not showing up.
TMZ broke the story ... Suge was pulled over in September for driving without license plates. When he was pulled over cops realized he had an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in another case. Suge was then arrested, hauled off to jail, released and ordered to appear in court today.
Suge was a no-show, so the judge ordered the deputies to haul his butt into court and set bail at $26K.
And history repeats itself.

Juan Pablo Galavis Gay 'Bachelor' Would Be Bad Influence on Kids
"The Bachelor"' star Juan Pablo Galavis apparently believes gays are more perverted than the average bear ... because he thinks putting a gay equivalent of him on the show would poison the mind's of children.
Juan Pablo raised some waxed eyebrows when he spoke to The TV Page saying "I don't think it is a good example for kids" ... and then said gay people are "more pervert in a sense."
Juan Pablo's gag reflex apparently isn't that good ... because he thinks the show would be too hard to watch if the star were gay.
So, we gotta ask ...
12:55 PM PT -- Warner Horizon Television and the show's executive producers just released a statement saying, "Juan Pablo’s comments were careless, thoughtless and insensitive, and in no way reflect the views of the network, the show’s producers or studio."
2:25 PM PT -- Juan Pablo posted an apology on his Facebook page saying his words were "taken out of context" (even though TV Page released the audio with the story) ... and he has nothing but respect for gay people.
Juan Pablo also says he didn't mean to call homosexuality "pervert" ... and blames the bad choice of words on his crappy English.

Madonna Calling My Son the N-Word Was ... 'A Term of Endearment'
Madonna says she had no idea people would take such offense over her use of the n-word yesterday -- even though at 55 she probably should.
Madge released a statement moments ago saying she's not a racist ... and her use of the hashtag "#disni**a" in reference to her son on Instagram Friday was not meant as a racial slur.
Madonna explains, "There's no way to defend the use of the word. It was all about intention ... It was used as a term of endearment toward my son who is white."
Madonna adds, "I appreciate that it's a provocative word and I apologize if it gave people the wrong impression. Forgive me."
Translation: I should stay off Instagram.

Octomom Pleads NOT GUILTY To Welfare Fraud
Nadya Suleman just pled NOT GUILTY to all 3 counts of felony welfare fraud.
TMZ broke the story ... Octomom was charged with cheating the welfare system out of more than $16K by failing to report income she made from personal appearances and her masturbation video.
Octo faces nearly 6 years of prison, but here's the way it usually works. If she pays what she owes, prosecutors will probably reduce the charge to a misdemeanor and judges usually don't send first time offenders to jail -- they get probation and community service.
Octo was receiving food stamps and other assistance because she stupidly had 14 kids.

Failed 'Idol' Contestant Arrested for Public Masturbation ... In Slushy Truck
If you thought this guy was weird on Wednesday night's "American Idol" premiere, just wait til you get a load of his rap sheet -- and we literally mean load -- the guy was convicted in 2010 after allegedly jerking it in a frozen lemonade truck ... while parked in front of a group of kids.
Sam Atherton had just finished serving frozen lemonade to a group of churchgoers and their kids when he was popped for "open and gross lewdness."
An eyewitness told police he saw Atherton "bobbing his head up and down ... with an intense look on his face" while vigorously moving his arm and shoulder. The witness claims when he approached Atherton to confront him, the guy's pants were around his ankles.
Atherton's excuse was classic ... he said he was just scratching his foot because of a severe fungus.
Atherton was convicted on two counts of lewdness and sentenced to two years probation.
Just when you thought nothing could be worse than his audition.

Gisele Bundchen 4-Wheeling with Baby ... Sans Helmets
Safety first ... is not exactly a priority for Gisele Bundchen, who took her 1-year-old daughter on an ATV ride yesterday in Costa Rica -- without a helmet.
Gisele wasn't doing wheelies or anything, but it's still pretty dangerous, considering she was driving one-handed and holding on to her baby daughter Vivian Lake with the other.
For the record, it's illegal to ride an ATV on public land in Costa Rica without a helmet. Gisele's driving down to the beach, but it's unclear if the beach is private.

Justin Bieber Bad Egg Caused $20K In Damage
Justin Bieber's egg-throwing escapade Thursday night caused around $20,000 in damage, and the little punk hasn't even called his neighbor to apologize.
TMZ broke the story ... Justin was caught on video egging his neighbor's house, and when confronted the singer told the neighbor to f off and then hurled a few more unborn chicks.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... L.A. County Sheriff's deputies are fast-tracking the investigation and they told the neighbor he had to get them repair estimates by today. We know the neighbor is locked and loaded with paperwork.
We're told the entire front of his house must be re-plastered. To do the job -- which is especially expensive because it's Venetian plaster -- will cost around $15K. There's another $5,000 in damage to the entry, including various doors that must be re-stained.
We're told neither Justin nor his people have contacted the neighbor with an offer to pay ... they haven't even called to say J.B. is sorry.
Law enforcement sources tell us ... the case will be referred to the L.A. County D.A. who could then file vandalism charges against the singer.
Since the damages far exceed the magic $400 figure -- the case could be filed as a FELONY.

Emma Thompson Martinis Get Me Through Boring Award Shows
If award shows were actually awesome ... Emma Thompson would be the totally boozed up presenter at all of 'em -- just like she appeared to be at the Golden Globes tonight.
Emma lazily carried her shoes on stage, along with a martini, while doling out the award for "Best Screenplay" -- and the 54-year-old celeb struggled to keep to it together through her rambling ... yet entertaining presentation.
The champagne she downed on the red carpet probably helped too.
