3:35 PM PT -- A rep for Roc Nation tells TMZ ... "Rihanna, Roc Nation nor anyone associated personally or professionally with either party was in contact with this person. Unfortunately this person was scammed. Rihanna nor Roc Nation collected any money for this event."

Rihanna flaked on a show she was scheduled to perform at in Nigeria, even though she'd already received a fat chunk of her payday ... according to the guy who booked her for the gig -- but Rihanna is claiming BS.

Chris Ubosi and his company, Megalectrics, are suing RiRi over a 2013 concert that never happened. Ubosi says he struck a deal with 2 people who claimed to rep Rihanna, as well as her label Roc Nation and Jay Z. Rihanna would get $425,000 to play for 65 minutes.

The show was supposed to go down in May 2013 -- and Ubosi says he made 3 payments, totaling $160k ... but then her camp asked to postpone the show. Ubosi says he agreed, but only IF Rihanna posted the new date on social media.

In the suit, he says that never happened so Megalectrics pulled the plug, and demanded its money back. Since Ubosi didn't get the cash, he's suing Rihanna, Jay Z and Roc Nation for the dough.

Richard Simmons apparently was not released from the hospital as his people said, because it appears he was beating a hasty retreat Monday night from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

We're pretty sure it's Richard in the back seat -- sporting a beard -- with his longtime housekeeper/friend riding shotgun.

TMZ broke the story ... the housekeeper called 911 Friday just before midnight, saying Simmons was incoherent. Paramedics took him to Cedars, but his people claimed the fitness guru was released the following day.

Imagine a party with 300 rolled joints, cake pop edibles, jars of weed, and Pamela Anderson rolling on the grass: Welcome to G-Eazy's 27th birthday bash!!!

The rapper celebrated at a sick crib in Malibu over the weekend, and the catering was the talk of the night. Think birthday buds and edibles, lots of them courtesy of Kush Kakery -- yes, Cali has weed bakeries. And if guests like PartyNextDoor, YG, Ryan Phillippe, Pia Mia and Pam got the munchies ... the In-N-Out truck had that covered.

G's party also had strippers and a YG performance, but no one had more fun than Pam and famed photog David LaChapelle. One too many Kush Kake pops?

Bretagne, the 16-year-old golden retriever hailed as the last of the 9/11 search dogs, has died.

Bretagne was euthanized Monday, according to firefighters in Houston ... where she had been a founding member of the K9 Search & Rescue Team.

She put up some true hero stats over her career. As part of Texas Task Force 1, she and handler Denise Corliss spent days searching through Ground Zero for trapped victims. Bretagne also pitched in on rescue efforts during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

She left active duty at 10, but continued serving as a community ambassador.

Bretagne was given a hero's salute on her last walk into the vet's office and her body was draped with an American Flag on the way out.

Chad Johnson's threatened to rip limbs off this competition on "The Bachelorette" ... and judging by these pics, he's built to get the job done.

Chad -- hated by almost all the other dudes on the show -- showed off his sculpted bod for a recent photo shoot. Keep in mind, he's a realtor and not a model.

Chad's camo pants could be seen as a jab at his biggest rival for JoJo, who happens to be a Marine.

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa celebrated their divorce Monday night at a strip club, and now we know why ... each did more than okay in the settlement.

Amber and Wiz filed their settlement agreement with the court, and the headline ... she gets a cool million under the prenup. Wiz has already paid $356k, so he still owes her $644k.

But Amber gets more ... $14,800 a month in child support for their 3-year-old son, Sebastian, with whom they share legal and physical custody.

As for Wiz ... he gets the Pennsylvania home and 10 cars, including a '69 Chevelle, a '68 Camaro, a '62 and a '64 Impala and a Porsche, of course, of course.

Biggest thing ... they're both good with the way the divorce ended, which is ultimately good for the kid.

Jordan Cashmyer has checked into rehab after her drinking spiraled so out of control, she gave herself a concussion and a black eye ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the "16 & Pregnant" star tell us Jordan's spending 30 days at a rehab facility in Baltimore. Her rock bottom started earlier this month -- we're told Jordan's booze habit started affecting her job at a gym ... and she got fired.

Then late last week, after a night of heavy drinking ... she stumbled into her mother's house and fell so hard, she smacked her head on the ground and suffered a concussion.

Our sources say the injury made Jordan realize it's time to "get her life together."

DJ Khaled is so on his grind ... the man can't even slow down to change his clothes.

Amber Heard -- who claims she was the victim of domestic violence by husband Johnny Depp -- was herself arrested for domestic violence against her then-domestic partner ... TMZ has learned.

According to law enforcement sources and documents, Amber and Tasya van Ree got in an argument on September 14, 2009 at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Amber allegedly grabbed and struck Tasya in the arm, which upset Tasya and triggered the arrest.

Amber was arrested and booked for misdemeanor domestic violence. Her mug shot was taken and she appeared in court the following day.

TMZ has obtained audio of the court hearing, where the prosecutor declined to move forward with the case -- we're told because the women both lived in California. The judge told Amber she was not off the hook ... prosecutors could reconsider and refile within the 2-year statute of limitations.

Amber thanks the judge and leaves the courtroom.

We reached out to Amber's lawyer ... so far no word back.
