NOFX frontman Fat Mike entered -- and quickly exited -- a detox facility this week.

Reports surfaced Monday that Mike entered rehab to get sober -- but sources close to him say that's only half true.

What really went down is Mike voluntarily checked into an L.A. facility to ween himself off a 2x daily Percocet habit after experiencing prolonged stomach pain -- docs treated, then released him 6 days later.

We're told the punk legend says he has no intention to tone down the punkness. He's not sobering up ... it's just a "mini break" for the sake of his health ... then back to the drugs and booze.

"Everybody Loves Raymond" star Madylin Sweeten dragged a soap opera creator's name through the mud ... according to him, and now he wants her to cough up $1.5 million.

In the suit, Bryan James says Sweeten smeared his name and business when she sued him ... claiming he duped her into investing in "Youthful Daze" ... an Internet soap.

James is asking the court to dismiss Madylin's lawsuit, and he wants the $1.5 mil for damages to his business and reputation.

Good golly miss Molly Sims!

Here’s a 24-year-old version of the Sports Illustrated mega-model at a charity event in New York City back in 1997 (left) and 19 years later ... the still sporty mother of two – who celebrated her 43rd birthday earlier this week – on the red carpet in Beverly Hills this month (right).

“You gotta get this look!”

The question is ...

Kanye West fell victim to a thief who made off with a bunch of gear from his creative studio ... and we're told the culprit could be someone 'Ye knows.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they got a call to Kanye's Calabasas office Tuesday for a burglary. We're told a door had been pried open overnight and the crook made off with a bunch of laptop and desktop computers totaling around $20k.

Our Kanye sources say they've already replaced the gear ... and no info was compromised thanks to some heavy-duty tech security.

Law enforcement sources tell us they don't yet have any suspects ... but we're told Kanye's team believes it was someone with direct knowledge of what was in the space.

Johnny Depp would never lay a hand on a woman and isn't capable of hurting anyone ... so says Johnny's first wife, Lori Anne Allison.

Lori, who was married to Johnny from 1983 to 1985, tells friends she doesn't believe Amber Heard's claim that Johnny brutalized her multiple times during their short marriage.

Lori's saying Johnny never got physical with her during their relationship ... he never even screamed.

She calls him a "soft person" who is even kind to animals. Lori and Johnny had a dog during their marriage and he was more loving with the pooch than most parents are to their kids.

Lori and Johnny are still friends and spoke as recently as last week when she called to offer her condolences over his mother's death.

Jennifer Lopez just sealed the deal on one of the best houses in all of Los Angeles ... TMZ has learned.

Our real estate spies tell us, J Lo closed on an 8-acre Bel-Air estate and got a deal. The prior owner, Sela Ward -- who is repped by Williams & Williams -- was asking $40 mil and we're told Jennifer snagged it for a very reasonable $28 mil.

The property is spectacular ... the main house is 13,000 square feet, and get this ... it has its own lake and a beach!

The architecture is French stone country villa ... and super romantic.

To get to the front door you walk across a covered bridge, above a creek.

J Lo, who was repped by super realtor Brett Lawyer, is selling her Hidden Hills estate for $12.5 mil. That house is also great ... 17,000 square feet on 3 acres.

Justin Bieber really needed to get a grip Friday night.

The Biebs posted this pic with the caption "#mycalvins". We're guessing the underwear company was fine with the plug and probably behind it.

1:50 PM PST -- Dallas law enforcement says Dejean-Jones was shot after allegedly breaking into an apartment. In a press release, cops say the owner of the apartment heard someone kick their door in and didn't get a response when they yelled out so they fired their gun, striking Bryce.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Bryce Dejean-Jones has died after suffering a gunshot wound to the stomach.

The 23-year-old died early Saturday in Dallas and his agent Scott Nichols has told various outlets Dejean-Jones took a bullet to the abdomen. It's unclear at this point what led up to the shooting or who pulled the trigger.

Bryce signed a 3-year-deal with the team back in February after being brought in on temporary contracts.

Johnny Depp may have a credibility problem if Amber Heard's violence claims make their way to court ... because if she's right, his memory of events will be highly questionable, thanks to coke and liquor.

Sources connected to Amber tell us she's outraged Johnny is calling her a liar over the domestic violence allegations ... because he's almost always high.

Amber claims Johnny was "barely ever sober" during the 15 months they were married. She says he was perpetually high, except when he was shooting a movie, when he hired a chef and a trainer and got sober. Once the movie wrapped, it was back to drugs and alcohol.

Amber claimed in her legal docs he is "often paranoid and his temper is exceptionally scary for me." She goes on ... "Johnny's paranoia, delusions and aggression increased throughout our relationship. So has my awareness of his continued substance abuse."

She claims on both occasions where she has accused him of domestic violence, he was "inebriated and high."

Empire star Ta'Rhonda Jones says she and cast mate Taraji P. Henson think the stripper poles and jails cells aligned when their show characters first met.

Jones is set to appear on Matt Weiss and Theo Von's "Allegedly" podcast this week and she's asked how she thinks Porsha and Cookie met. It's interesting ... Jones thinks they would've met in prison and Henson believes it would've definitely been in a strip club.

Either way ... the two certainly make an interesting duo.

Big divorces this week ... Khloe going for #2, and Amber's on the attack against Johnny. So we gotta ask ...

Good thing Rob Kardashian's lost all that weight, because his knees are about to make contact with his chin.

We found out Rob's flying economy this weekend ... where he can barely look through the curtain and see his fiancee in first.

TMZ got hold of the rider for the couple's appearance Saturday in Vegas ... at the Tropicana's Sky Beach Club. They will get 2 round-trip plane tickets ... one first and one economy. And we know who's not in first.

Their rider also calls for multiple bottles of booze ... bad idea for both.

Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian have plenty to bind them, even after breaking up. In addition to 3 kids, they wear really gaudy clothes.

Scott and his baby mama continued his birthday celebration, this time taking it on the road to Vegas Friday night, where they partied at 1 OAK with Malika Haqq, Tyga, Odel Beckham Jr., and a bunch of others.

"KUWTK" cameras have been following Scott and Kourtney everywhere, so it's hard to know what's real.

Mickey Rourke has Johnny Depp's back ... that much is clear.

Johnny Manziel isn't the only thing out of control ... so was the Mercedes he rented, and the guy who owns it went on a mission Friday to track the QB down and demand a sizable check.

Johnny was leaving Trump Soho in NYC when it became apparent his SUV was being blocked by a fleet of cars from Precision Concierge. Seems Wayne, the owner, got wind Johnny was there and he wanted to settle a score.

You'll recall last month TMZ Sports broke the story ... Johnny rented a Mercedes in L.A. and it crashed into a pole on the Sunset Strip, totaling the car. Johnny and the driver, OVO Ryan from Drake's crew, fled but came back and fessed up.

Here's the problem. The Benz was owned by Wayne's company, and Johnny hasn't forked over money for the whip.

So Wayne and Johnny had words in NYC, and as you see in the video Wayne walked away a very unhappy man.

Prince Jackson kind of scoffed at the notion a black belt proves you're a bad ass.

We got Michael's 19-year-old son Friday leaving Panera Bread in Bev Hills, and asked the jiu-jitsu enthusiast if he had his eye on a darker color. It seems he's saying the belt doesn't protect you ... skill does.
