T.I.'s stepdaughter was busted for trying to get a gun through TSA at Hartfields-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.

Zonnique Pullins was arrested early Thursday morning after a TSA agent spotted the semiautomatic pistol in her purse ... with the help of an X-ray machine.

We're told Pullins stated she had a weapons permit but didn't have the paperwork to prove it. It didn't really matter ... you can't carry a gun onto a plane.

Cops cuffed Zonnique and booked her for carrying a concealed weapon in an unauthorized area.

She got out Friday AM.

Brooke Shields got justice after a judge ordered her stalker behind bars for 60 days.

Shields was not in court for Friday's hearing in NYC ... where the judge found John Rinaldi guilty of stalking and sentenced him to stay away from Brooke, her family and her Greenwich Village home.

Brooke testified Monday and Tuesday, and recalled frightening encounters with Rinaldi ... including the time he tried to hand her a gift for her daughter.

50 Cent needs to pass some of his pimp juice to a producer who says "P.I.M.P." was jacked from him ... and he's looking for compensation.

Brandon Parrott says he sent 10 tracks to Dr. Dre in 2001 ... in hopes one of Dre's artists -- like Eminem -- would record his music. Cut to 2003, when Parrott says he got a call from a producer for Dre's company, Aftermath Entertainment.

He says the producer admitted Parrott's track, "BAMBA" was used in "P.I.M.P." -- and was included on 50's huge debut album, "Get Rich or Die Tryin'". Parrott says the producer pleaded ignorance -- that he had no idea "BAMBA" was going to end up on the final edit.

In other words: It was an honest mistake.

Parrott says he signed a settlement deal based on that story -- but he's recently heard interviews where it's now clear to him it was no mistake. He feels 50 and Aftermath took advantage of him.

Parrott's going after both parties for a cut of that "P.I.M.P." dough.

Ron Lester -- who famously played Billy Bob in "Varsity Blues" -- is hospitalized in critical condition and it doesn't look good ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We've confirmed the 45-year-old actor is hospitalized in Dallas. Multiple people connected to Lester tell us he's been there for roughly 4 months and his health has been in a steady decline.

Lester had revealed he was hospitalized back in November due to liver issues. We're told there were also problems with his kidneys.

He also reached out to TMZ back in January and told us he was having complications with his heart ... but seemed to be in good spirits and even joked about the situation.

Lester shot to fame as the lovable heavyset lineman in the 1999 football flick ... starring alongside James Van Der Beek, Paul Walker and Scott Caan. He also appeared in "Not Another Teen Movie" and "CSI: NY."

Lester battled weight issues for years -- reportedly weighing as much as 508 pounds before undergoing gastric bypass surgery in 2001. He lost nearly 350 pounds after that.

Hilton Grand Vacations Club is apologizing for sending an email urging members to "take a bite out of Orlando" just hours after 2-year-old Lane Graves' body was retrieved from Disney's Seven Seas Lagoon.

Hilton reps tell us the email was written and scheduled for distribution far in advance of Tuesday's horrific alligator attack. They became aware of the poor choice in words when people began blasting them on social media.

According to HGVC, "a bite" was in reference to the new Mako hypercoaster at the nearby SeaWorld whose mascot happens to be a shark.

Disney has more problems over the alligator attack. It's no longer a case of one child stepping into dangerous territory ... several Disney lagoons have been populated with kids for years.

Janice Croze posted a 2012 photo of her little girl, Olivia, in ankle-deep water in the lagoon at Disney's Beach Club Resort, a short drive from where Lane Graves was attacked by an alligator earlier this week. Check out all the kids in the background.

It's highly improbable Disney didn't know kids would stand in the water -- they're not violating the "no swimming" sign ... they're just wading.

To be clear ... Janice isn't blaming Disney, but thinks it should update its signs and aggressively monitor and remove dangerous wildlife that wanders into the lagoon.

Johnny Manziel just cut his last tie to the city of Cleveland ... cause there's a "SOLD" sign on the front of his nice suburban home, TMZ Sports has learned.

Nick Cannon is firing back at Mariah Carey for claiming he's dragging his feet on signing the divorce papers -- and he's doing it with a freestyle rap.

Nick dropped, "Divorce Papers" on SoundCloud -- it's a 4 minute rant about the divorce, his health and his child visitation rights. Check out the clip ... we gave you the highlights.

TMZ broke the story ... his divorce from Mariah's been hammered out on paper, but for some reason he just hasn't signed yet. On the track, Nick hints at a few reasons, like his health. He raps, he "almost died twice."

The silver lining for Mariah might be the closing line of the song. If we can believe his freestyle ... someone's about to get her walking papers.

Shaquille O'Neal's no idiot ... and SMARTLY turned down an epic invitation to party with Charlie Sheen and rock legend Matt Sorum back in the '90s ... 'cause he thought he would die.

Taylor Swift has quite the playground for Tom Hiddleston when they're hanging in NYC ... if he's into pools and chandeliers -- and who isn't?

We broke the story ... Taylor's been renting a townhouse in the West Village -- for $40k per month -- while her nearby apartment gets renovated, and now we have photos inside the killer pad.

It's pretty spectacular city livin' -- high ceilings, giant windows, and that rare indoor pool we told you about ... which even has a chandelier over it.

"American Idol" alum Constantine Maroulis and his baby mama got into another physical fight, but this time SHE got hauled away in handcuffs ... TMZ has learned.

Angel Reed says she went to pick up their 5-year-old daughter from Constantine's house, and he started harassing her by recording video on his phone. She claims they got into an argument, and then it got physical.

According to docs obtained by TMZ ... Angel says she grabbed Constantine's phone, and he threw her down on the ground. She ran out of the house and called police, but when officers arrived they say Constantine had scratches on his chest ... so Angel got arrested.

She claims she only scratched Constantine in self-defense --still, she was booked for petty disorderly person.

Justin Bieber disappeared onstage Thursday night after falling through a trap door, and it's pretty dramatic.

The Biebs was performing at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon, Canada when he traversed the stage and was swallowed up.

Check out both videos ... he got back on his feet and he seems ok, but this was a top 10 for 2016.

Meat Loaf's scary collapse during a show in Canada Thursday was triggered by severe dehydration ... so claims a spokesperson for the singer.

The singer collapsed Thursday night during his encore performance of "I'd Do Anything For Love."

Meat Loaf was taken to a local hospital and underwent tests ... his vital signs are stable but he's still hospitalized.

It's a little weird ... Meat Loaf just cancelled a bunch of concerts because of some sort of undisclosed illness. He also just cancelled his Saturday night show in Alberta.

Turns out Disney World is a haven for gators ... which have become so bold they tried to board a raft that is often filled with unsuspecting guests.

TMZ obtained this footage ... shot a month ago at Disney World. You see a gator climb aboard the log raft that takes guests to Tom Sawyer Island on the Rivers of America.

Our Disney World sources say gators are a nagging problem that has not been abated. After the gator mounted the raft park employees set out to catch the female gator ... we don't know the outcome.

Disney's Rivers of America sits less than 2 miles away from the Seven Seas Lagoon at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort where Lane Graves was snatched and killed.

As we previously reported ... the resort only had "no swimming" signs, and the boy wasn't even swimming ... he was standing in a foot of water at the time of the attack.

French Montana and Drake hit the links in the Dominican Republic Thursday in the name of new music.

They are staying at Casa de Campo and took over the city of La Romana to shoot their video for "No Shopping" ... the next single off French's upcoming album. We don't know how they fared on the golf course, but based on Drizzy's footwear ... it wasn't a serious round.

However, the chicks in the background of this shot -- VERY serious.

Wrestling legend Jerry "The King" Lawler -- and his 27-year-old fiancee -- were both arrested in Memphis Friday morning after allegedly attacking each other ... and cops say a gun was involved.
