One of the people behind The Fappening -- the hacking and release of nude pics and vids belonging to more than a dozen celebrities -- was busted by the feds, and is now pleading guilty.

Ryan Collins was charged with unauthorized access to a protected computer. The feds say Collins is responsible for hacking into the computers of more than 100 victms -- at least 18 of them famous -- and downloading their photos and videos.

According to the docs, he got in through Apple iCloud and Gmail accounts between Nov. 1, 2012 and Sep. 2, 2014 ... using a phishing scheme.

Some of the famous Fappening victims included Kate Upton, Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst and Hope Solo. It's unclear if Collins hacked their accounts in particular. He has not been charged with leaking the material to the public.

Miss Robbie, the star of "Welcome to Sweetie Pie's" on OWN, is mourning the loss of her grandson ... who was shot and killed in St. Louis, and she believes he was set up.

21-year-old Andre Montgomery was found in a house, unconscious with a gunshot wound Monday night. Police say he was pronounced dead on the scene ... and at this point there's no suspect.

Miss Robbie tells TMZ ... the house where Andre was shot had a recording studio, and he was laying down a rap. She's been told that during the recording session, Andre got a phone call to meet someone outside, and when he went out ... that's when he got shot.

Miss Robbie says there is one strong lead in the case -- Andre was staying in a hotel, and on Tuesday morning someone used a key to enter the room. She says Andre's belongings were missing from the room ... but the person who went in was captured on surveillance cameras.

Andre was frequently featured with his family members on 'Sweetie Pie' ... including his high school graduation in 2013, when Miss Robbie was beaming with pride.

Master P hasn't toured in years, but he's back on his grind ... planning to hit 40 cities this month alone on his Pop-Up tour.

P kicked things off over the weekend at Savoy in Inglewood. He's still got flow for sure ... check him plowing through "Make 'Em Say Uhh" in this clip.

Mr. Ice Cream Man tells TMZ he'll be popping up at random clubs all month ... just like he used to do in his van back when he was first building No Limit Records.

He only has one requirement for the clubs he'll be hitting ... that they're "straight in the hood."

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.

50 Cent got framed by a photo agency, literally ... he was framed up in a shot with a Mercedes-Benz dealership, making it seem like he was new car shopping but that just ain't the case.

Here's the deal ... the photo agency, AKM-GSI, that was peddling the Fiddy pics and video included a caption that went on about the financially-challenged rapper scoping out an expensive ride. Seemed weird, considering 50 Cent's bankruptcy issues.

Well, turns out the agency was wrong. 50's people tell TMZ ... instead of spending wildly, he was talking biz with his agent -- discussing his hit TV series "Power." The agent's office is in the same building as the Benz dealer, which is how the pap got the shot.

AKM-GSI has apologized for the error.

So, the bankruptcy judge can chill -- 50 Cent was actually making cash in Bev Hills, not blowing it.

Randy Meisner's kids are just waiting to pounce now that his wife is dead ... according to the ex-Eagles bassist, but he's taking legal steps to fend them off.

Meisner says his estranged children are desperate to get him under a conservatorship, which he does not want. Meisner admits he does need help and care in the wake of Lana's tragic accidental shooting -- but he has a different plan.

In docs filed in L.A., 70-year-old Meisner says he wants 2 people -- a "trusted friend" and his financial advisor -- to be his convservators. He says he's in a "profound state of grief" and needs the support of these friends.

Richard Simmons is A-OK -- not depressed, impaired or being held hostage by his maid ... that's what LAPD cops think.

Our law enforcement sources point to a welfare check they had with Simmons in January 2015, after one of his estranged friends called the cops and reported elder abuse.

LAPD sources say they have been called recently to return to Simmons' house and check again, but they feel if they do it again it would constitute harassment. They add nothing has changed ... Simmons is fine, and just wants to be left alone.

The cops say they asked Simmons about cutting his friends completely out of his life. He responded that he only cut out people who were "not close friends." Simmons showed the cops his address book with a list of people with whom he still had daily contact, and invited them to call for themselves. The cops declined.

As for recent reports that Simmons' housekeeper was holding him hostage, our law enforcement sources say when they were at the house, after interviewing both separately, they were clear she is fiercely loyal to him but "he's the boss."

Richard told cops the housekeeper is indeed the gatekeeper at the house, but he instructs her on who's allowed in and who isn't.

As for letting his business fail by his absence, Richard told cops he had "plenty of money" and it didn't matter to him, although he added he was doing what was necessary to keep it afloat.

Big news for Rolls Royce Rizzy ... his name change is now official after a judge ruled in favor of Rolls-Royce in its war over the ritzy handle.

The rapper can no longer go by Rolls Royce Rizzy, and can't use the company's RR logo in connection with his music or music videos. The luxe car company sued the rapper in January 2015 for trademark infringement.

After the suit was filed ... R³ preemptively toned it down to just Royce Rizzy and wiped the Rolls-Royce title and logo from his website, social media and advertising.

Jerry Seinfeld didn't quite hit the $28 million mark his rare Porsches were expected to make at auction, but he unloaded a VW Beetle for $121k! So, there's that.

All told, Jerry pulled in $22.2 million from selling 17 cars through the Gooding & Company auction -- and there were some deals to be had. Seinfeld's '73 Porsche 917 was a steal at $3 mil, since it was expected to fetch more than twice that.

Jerry introduced his car collection during the auction ... and 4 of his finished in the top 10 in sales, highlighted by his 1955 Porsche 550, which raked in a record $5,335,000. His Beetle sale was also a record.

"Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda left the White House Monday and mused with our photog about what famed shooter/Vice President Aaron Burr would think of Donald Trump.

It's obliquely incendiary ... talking about shootings in this political climate, but Lin-Manuel has opinions.

'Bachelor' stars Ben Higgins and Lauren B. don't have to hide now that Monday night's finale has aired, and they're totally open to taking requests ... to suck face.

Shortly after the show ... the freshly-minted couple sealed the deal by kissing for the paps greeting them at LAX. History doesn't bode well for 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' couples going all the way.

Sooo, soak it in while ya can. Ben and Lauren seem to be all in ... for the cameras at least.

Mazel!

Ex-NFL on FOX star Jillian Barberie lost a chunk of her lip this weekend -- when she was bit in the mouth by a Cocker Spaniel ... and needed 10 stitches to close the gash.

Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora's little girl is ... NOT a little girl anymore -- Ava Sambora is now a full-fledged model.

18-year-old Ava did a photo shoot on the beach in Malibu -- and clicking through this gallery should answer all your questions about how DNA works. She's kind of a genetic sure thing -- and probably a great guitarist too.

7:21 AM PT -- The LAPD just released a statement that the lead investigator has not received any such information from the crime lab. Maybe so, but our inside sources say the tests have been done and no DNA was found.

LAPD detectives hit a dead end with the knife that was buried on O.J. Simpson's Rockingham estate ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us, the DNA testing produced no matches. We're told the microbes in the soil degraded any DNA to the point it was impossible to get a meaningful result.

We're also told there was no hair or other sample that produced a lead.

TMZ broke the story ... a construction worker found the buck knife with a 5" blade buried on the perimeter of the property and gave it to a retired LAPD cop who was doing traffic control for a movie shoot. The cop took it home and put it in his tool box for more than a dozen years.

The LAPD has not announced the results, but we're told the investigation is over.

Shooter McGavin took a page out of Happy Gilmore's playbook by giving a hot bikini clad comic swinging lessons ... on the green.

Christopher McDonald, who played the sleazy golf pro in the Adam Sandler flick, showed up at a $10 million hole in one tournament in Las Vegas. He didn't win the tournament, but it's hard to say he lost -- based on his interaction with Kate Quigley.

Still, nice to see Shooter finding his happy place ... just like Happy.

This may be the best video in March ... "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda taking cues from President Obama in the White House Rose Garden and freestyling in a way that would make Tupac proud.

It's pretty incredible ... the Prez held up cue cards with topics ranging from Obamacare, the Supreme Court, NASA and immigrants, and Lin-Manuel killed it.

Obama's impressed enough to drop a phantom mic at the end.
