The melee that erupted around Kylie Jenner -- between a defensive grandfather and photogs -- was fueled by alcohol ... according to the grandpa's family.

We spoke to the mother of one of the 3 girls who were waiting for Kylie outside The Nice Guy Saturday night ... when the girls' grandfather opened a can of whoopass on the paps.

Sporting overalls and a cig hanging out of his mouth -- gramps looked like he was straight out of central casting, but his daughter says the fight wasn't an attempt to grab the spotlight ... it's just that he was drunk.

The mother, who wants to remain anonymous, tells us grandpa had a few drinks before going out, and then some more at a bar in Hollywood. She says the family had gone to The Nice Guy specifically to see KJ, because her 11-year-old daughter and her 2 friends are obsessed.

She says the girls are now grounded from following Kylie because she doesn't want people thinking they're stalkers. As for grandpa -- she insists he's normally a "warm, caring man."

Lil' Kim wasn't seeing green in Poughkeepsie ... so she bailed!

Sources tell TMZ Lil' Kim's camp canceled a concert at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in New York because she didn't get paid to perform. The show was originally slated for March 11th but was rescheduled for April 1st because the promoter couldn't sell enough tickets.

We're told management for the venue suggested a more cozy space, but the promoter was adamant about keeping it at the 3,000 person venue ... and he insists he did pay Kim a $5,000 deposit.

Kim's camp claims they never got any funds ... so instead, Kim chose to hang with the Kardashians in L.A. She's kinda been in the bff zone with Kim K since last week.

Here's proof 47-year-old Will Smith still has it in the squared circle -- video of the Fresh Prince getting some in-between takes work with a woman ... who could probably really kick his ass.

Will is in NYC filming "Collateral Beauty" and took a break from set to duck into the Overthrow boxing gym ... for some light sparring with WBC women's champ Alicia Napoleon.

Check out the clip ... Smith looks like he hasn't forgotten the moves he learned on "Ali" ... pulling off a perfect rope-a-dope. We're told he also hit the heavy bag a little while he was there.

Rumble middle aged man rumble.

"16 and Pregnant" star Lindsey Harrison is now 21 and STACKED after getting the biggest breast implants available in the US.

Lindsey, who appeared on season 4 of the show, got the boob job done by Dr. Michael Salzhauer, aka Dr. Miami -- the same doc who transformed "Teen Mom 3" star Briana DeJesus' top and bottom.

Lindsey was an A cup before the doc put in 800cc silicone implants ... the maximum silicone implant available stateside. Doctors believe risk factors outweigh the benefits with anything bigger than 800cc.

As for her new cup size -- Lindsey's DDelighted with her alterations.

YG and Nipsey Hussle had to assume the position during their music video shoot in L.A. ... as cops swarmed to disperse the crowd shouting, "F**k Donald Trump!"

The music video was for their song, "F**k Donald Trump" -- so that explains the chants -- but LAPD clearly thought things were getting out of control. Witnesses tell us about 100 people fell in behind the rappers while they shot the video Sunday in South L.A.

Cops responded in riot gear ... and quickly shut down the shoot. Law enforcement sources tell us the officers were responding to a call for cars cruising the streets and the crowd that had gathered to watch. We're told LAPD had no idea it was a music video shoot.

There was at least one car out of control on set. Check out this Corvette doing donuts and taking OUT a bystander! Amazingly, the guy walked away seemingly without injury.

Sony is willing to strike an exit deal with Kesha, but there's only one gigantic string attached ... saving the label's star player, Dr. Luke.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us, Sony made secret overtures to Kesha that it will be agreeable to ending her deal, and the trigger is a mea culpa in which she confesses Luke didn't rape her.

As we reported, Kesha vows she won't retract her allegation ... an allegation that has cast a dark cloud over Luke, who is one of the most important producers and creative talents in the label's arsenal.

This is Courtney Stodden at her most interesting -- setting herself on fire. Seriously.

She was attempting some sort of seance on Periscope Sunday night when she apparently unwittingly dipped her bleach blonde hair into a burning candle.

You gotta see it, and it's cool to laugh about it ... 'cause she's okay. One question: Why didn't the so-called psychic, Sham Ibrahim, right next to Courtney warn her what was about to happen?

'O.C. Housewives' Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Barney were way worse off than we initially thought after they rolled an ATV while taping on Saturday.

TMZ obtained these photos and video from the crash scene in Glamis, CA ... where Vicki had to be airlifted to a hospital for treatment. Witnesses on scene tell us she was puking after the accident, and couldn't feel her fingers. Both women complained of neck and back pain, and you can tell from these images ... everyone on scene was concerned about the severity of the injuries.

We're also told Tamra, who was driving the Polaris RZR, had been warned several times by the people training her to slow down.

TMZ broke the story ... both women had to be hospitalized after the accident, which happened while they were shooting for the show.

Both have been released, and we're told they're recovering well.

Bella Hadid channeled her inner Evel Knievel while vacationing in St. Barts ... except she looked flawless in her daredevil outfit.

The 19-year-old model was seen jumping off a side cliff in the Caribbean ... wearing the hell out of a black one-piece bikini.

Iggy Azalea is not breaking off her engagement to Nick Young ... not yet, anyway and she wanted everyone to know it at the iHeartRadio Awards.

Iggy posed for photogs Sunday night in L.A. with her right hand in her pocket, but made sure her left -- weighted down with that massive yellow diamond ring Nick gave her -- was fully exposed.

As TMZ Sports first reported ... Nick's been desperately trying to save the engagement since the D'Angelo Russell video leaked.

Kourtney Kardashian left only a teeny bit to the imagination with a faraway shot followed by a closeup of her extremely hot crossed buns.

Kourt spent Sunday snapping ass-tastic poolside selfies alongside BFF Sarah Howard. The kids must have been with Scott.

Khloe Kardashian wants to divorce Lamar Odom and move on with her life ... but feels if she pulls that legal trigger ... Lamar could die.

Sources close to Khloe tell us the recent revelation Lamar is drinking again confirms her fear -- that it's futile to keep trying to get him into addiction treatment.

We're told Khloe wants to make their never ending divorce final ... but feels a "tremendous amount of guilt" for how Lamar will react once she's out of his life.

Our sources say Lamar remains adamant he doesn't need rehab and the drinking is just him trying to lead a normal life, but Khloe and her family think they know how this movie ends 'cause they've seen it too many times before.

Hayden Panettiere's parents have finally put their divorce to bed, and part of the final terms include an outstanding debt to their daughter.

According to the divorce docs ... Alan will pay $5,000 a month in spousal support to Hayden's mother, Lesley, for the next 5 years or until she remarries.

Alan also agreed to shoulder all of the money owed to their daughter. As we reported ... Hayden helped out mom and dad last year by letting Lesley live in her condo, and loaning Alan $100k.

It's pretty much the last thing Iggy Azalea needs after the week she's had with fiancé Nick Young ... but the IRS says she's run up a huge tab with them, and it's time to pay up.

Uncle Sam just slapped the rapper with a huge tax lien -- $391,056.55 in unpaid income taxes from 2014. Remember, that was a huge year for Iggy, since her debut album "The New Classic" dropped ... and became a huge hit.

Great timing ... since she's not dealing with allegations her guy cheated or anything. Oh wait.

Spencer Locke is in the middle of a scary situation ... someone is threatening to rape and shoot her, and cops are on the hunt to find the suspect.

LAPD sources tell TMZ the 'Resident Evil' actress reported some creep who left the following disturbing message on her Instagram: "I'll rape you Spencer Locke I'll f*** your brains out then I'll use a pillow put it over your face then I'll pull the trigger then I'll cry."
