Chris Brown was high as a kite when he was stopped by cops in Amsterdam for riding a dirt bike without plates, and somehow he was able to charm his way out of some super serious charges.

The police pulled Chris and his crew over, clearly not knowing he was famous. When Brown's posse dropped the "do-you-know-who-he-is" card, the main cop's knowledge was only as deep as Elvis.

Chris was ticketed and then taken to the station to pay the fine.

As for the super serious charge, Chris clearly could have been busted for DUI, because just minutes before hopping on the bike he and his buddies smoked out a coffee shop.

The man who murdered "Voice" contestant Christina Grimmie appears to be a deranged fan who had a specific mission -- to travel to Orlando and kill her at the concert venue.

Police confirmed the story TMZ broke -- there is no apparent connection between Grimmie and the killer. He showed up to her concert Friday night with 2 handguns, 2 loaded magazines and a large hunting knife. There were no metal detectors at the venue.

Cops say the man is 27-years-old and as far as they know never tried to get in touch with Christina on social media. He traveled from another city in Florida and apparently felt he could get away with it because he had plans to return home.

Christina was gunned down after the concert, during a meet-and-greet with around 120 people.

Police officials say they believe the murderer was not accidentally shot during a struggle with Christina's brother. They believe he killed himself.

Cops say they will release the identity of the killer later today.

Former 'Voice' competitor Christina Grimmie is dead after a shooting in Orlando.

Christina was doing a meet and greet with fans Friday night following a concert ... when a man walked up to her and simply opened fire. Her brother tackled the shooter, but the man was able to get free enough to shoot and kill himself.

This picture was taken minutes before Christina was shot.

Christina was rushed to a hospital, but died early Saturday morning from her injuries. Police are hailing her brother as a hero for stopping the massacre of countless more people.

Christina had opened Friday night for the band, Before You Exit. Since finishing in third place on "The Voice" Season 6 (2014) ... Christina signed with Island Records, and was reportedly working on an album.

Grimmie was 22.

We've learned Christina's twitter account was hacked, but her team has regained access and taken down the message.

The man who shot and killed "Voice" contestant Christina Grimmie had no known connection to her ... law enforcement tells TMZ.

We're told the investigation is still active, but so far homicide detectives in Orlando have found no ties between the shooter -- who killed himself -- and Christina.

We're told as far as law enforcement knows ... there were no red flags associated with the shooter in terms of doing bizarre or violent things in the past, but again we're told the investigation is ongoing.

Don't let these almost identical images of Jonah Hill outfox you ... use your hunting skills to see if you can catch the differences between these two super similar shots.

Amber Heard claims money is NOT the driving force behind her bid to get a restraining order against Johnny Depp, but sources connected with Johnny say she's full of it, pointing to a letter her own lawyer filed with the court ... Amber, however, says the letter isn't a money grab.

Amber's lawyer sent a letter to Jake Bloom, Johnny's entertainment lawyer, on May 24, 2016 ... just 3 days after the alleged iPhone attack, and 3 days before Amber made her explosive domestic violence claims.

In the letter Amber's lawyer tells Bloom, "Amber wishes to work quickly towards a private and amicable resolution of all matters, but she will need Johnny's immediate cooperation to do so." Amber's attorney also claims she wants to "work out solutions outside of the public eye."

Amber's lawyer then make a series of financial demands ... temporary spousal support, use of their Range Rover, possession of their downtown L.A. penthouse, $100,000 for her lawyer's fees and another $25,000 for business people.

Sources connected to Johnny note Amber never asked Johnny to voluntarily agree to stay away from her -- they say it's all about money ... either pay up, or we'll go to court, ask for a restraining order, and drag Johnny through the mud with all the allegations.

Johnny didn't pay and Amber filed the explosive documents on May 27th.

Sources connected with Amber tell TMZ, the letter asks for the standard fare in divorce cases and it's merely to sustain her. The sources deny the letter is an ultimatum to wedge money out of Johnny.

Desiigner posted a bizarre video ... trying to incapacitate the pizza delivery guy with chloroform ... at least that's the way it appears.

The "Panda" rapper captioned the video, "PANDA MAN ROB THE EM#JOKES."

It's all-out war between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, and Justin Bieber made it clear ... he'll fight any guy twice his size. So we gotta ask ...

Rihanna is quick to judge Prez Obama's performance of her song, it's just hard to hear what she says.

It's clear RiRi liked Obama's performance of "Work" on Jimmy Fallon's show, but when it comes to the real stuff -- judging the mic drop -- she seems to give a number. We just can't hear it.

Help us out..

Mark Cuban might've just gotten his northern California privileges revoked for good ... 'cause the Mavs boss just publicly proclaimed he's throwing his support behind the Cavs in the NBA finals.

"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Jessica Dime got a boob upgrade by downsizing ... from triple Ds to singles!

The boob job was the handywork of Dr. Michael Salzhauer, aka Dr. Miami, who swapped out the bigger saline water implants for smaller silicone implants. He also gave her a lift and removed excess skin. The result -- no more lopsided boobs!

The surgery lasted 2 hours and it set Jessica back around $7k.

She'll spend a few more days recovering in Miami ... in lifted spirits, of course.

Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins and drummer Brad Hargreaves are "Baywatch" certified after saving 4 kids off the Carolina coast.

Stephan and Brad were surfing Wednesday on Carolina Beach when they heard the boys -- ages 12 to 15 -- screaming for help and struggling to get out of a rip current that had sucked them about 100 yards out to sea.

We're told the bandmates paddled to the boys, then let them rest on their surfboards ... before padding safely back to shore.

The band's manager, Luke McNees, tells us ... other than being winded and really scared, the boys were fine and grateful. Look out, Zac Efron and Dwayne Johnson.

That smoke show of a Warriors fan who gave Steph Curry the sex face during game 2 of the NBA Finals is back -- and she's sitting IN FRONT of Steph's wife.

Yes, Instagram model Roni Rose has found herself courtside in Cleveland for game 4, while Ayesha Curry is almost directly behind her ... 2 rows back.

This creates an issue for Steph: How the hell can he look up at Ayesha AND keep Rose out of his line of sight at the same damn time??

More problematic for the NBA MVP -- Rose is sitting right behind the Warriors bench.

Focus, Curry. Focus.

Gigi Hadid has a funny way of breaking up -- a week after she and Zayn Malik supposedly called it quits ... she's still clinging to him.

The alleged exes cruised out of her NYC apartment building, but judging by the way Gigi was caressing his arm ... they ain't done. Looks like Papa Mohamed did know best, after all.

Sorry, Taylor Swift ... the squad-wide breakup epidemic is now officially over.
