Johnny Manziel put his NFL comeback on hold Thursday night to party in Miami with rap superstar Future ... and it appears he's drinkin' again too.

Chris Brown was arrested this week because the woman who prosecuted him in the Rihanna case still has a score to settle ... so claims Chris and his team.

Deputy D.A. Mary Murray was a key player in the decision to have Brown arrested for felony assault with a deadly weapon ... this according to law enforcement sources. Murray has a long and contentious history with Chris. She not only prosecuted Brown in the Rihanna case, she was involved in the various probation violation hearings in which she asked for jail time, and often lost.

Our sources say the day Chris allegedly pulled a gun on a woman at his home, the cops had decided NOT to arrest him, but rather take the case under investigation. In fact, at one point Chris actually came out of the house and was yukking it up with the cops.

We're told it was Murray who pushed a change of plans ... to arrest Chris on the spot.

Brown believes the decision to arrest him was purely punitive ... that the only witness who made the gun claim was a woman with big credibility problems, and he had many witnesses who disputed her story.

Chris has lashed out at Murray in the past. When she got a judge to toss out his community service hours, claiming they were bogus, he left the courtroom and took to Twitter, calling her a racist.

We reached out to the D.A.'s office, but they had no comment.

Brock Turner, the ex-Stanford swimmer convicted of sexual assault, walked out of his Santa Clara County jail cell early Friday morning after completing the shortened sentence that outraged the nation.

Turner served just 3 months of his 6-month sentence, due to good behavior. He could have been sentenced to 14 years after he was found guilty earlier this year on 3 felony charges -- including intent to commit rape of an intoxicated person -- but instead Judge Aaron Persky gave him the 6 months.

Two men stopped Turner as he was committing the January 2015 assault on an unconscious woman.

21-year-old Turner will now be on probation for 3 years and must register as a sex offender. He's reportedly returning to his hometown in Ohio to live with his parents.

Prince's former bandmates threw the ultimate "Purple Rain" party for their fallen leader ... and brought along a bunch of his closest friends.

The Revolution got back together to perform a tribute show at First Avenue -- the Minneapolis nightclub where most of the music scenes for "Purple Rain" were shot.

Prince's leading lady from the flick, Apollonia Kotero, got onstage too along with Bilal. Apollonia even recreated the classic earring toss from the movie.

The video's pretty awesome, but there's no denying ... something's missing.

Sofia Richie doesn't need to wear Justin Bieber's shirts to prove they're a thing ... she just rocks his pants instead.

JB's gf was out in WeHo Thursday rocking a cropped top and official Purpose Tour sweatpants.

Even without Justin, Sofia's still reppin' her boo. Keeper material?

Colin Kaepernick announced he will donate $1 MILLION to charities that will help communities in need -- hours after he and teammate Eric Reid took a knee during the National Anthem at the 49ers vs. Chargers game ... which also happened to be "Salute to the Military Night."

Kanye West's always going to have his Hennessy waiting on ice backstage during his Saint Pablo Tour ... TMZ has learned.

'Ye made sure of it on his tour rider, which calls for 2 alcoholic slushie machines -- one dispensing frozen Hennessy and Coke, and another with frozen Grey Goose and lemonade.

We're told the Goose is for Kim, who showed off the slushie gear during Kanye's Toronto tour stop -- and according to the tour doc ... they'll be standard at every show.

Kanye usually rolls with a bunch of booze backstage ... including Hennessy, so looks like Kim's getting to call a few shots this time around.

Model Mattie Maderos ain't afraid to get her hands -- and ass -- dirty with a little bit of sand.

The Wilhelmina L.A. model was on all fours in Santa Monica ... reliving her childhood, which wasn't all that long ago ... she's 19. Of course, the great thing about getting sand everywhere is, you can always rinse it off in the ocean.

TMZ Sports obtained police footage from the night NFL cornerback Damian Swann was arrested in Georgia in which he throws a serious Hail Mary ... asking the cop to give him a break because he plays for the New Orleans Saints!

Justin Bieber used a date night with Sofia Richie to show off his serious skills on the drums.

Biebs was at Mozambique restaurant in Laguna Beach and joined a reggae band onstage recently, but not to sing ... he was there to beat the skins.

Lil Twist -- Justin Bieber's ex-pal -- got locked up after failing to show his face for a hearing in his assault case ... TMZ has learned.

Twist's lawyer showed up in a downtown L.A. courthouse Thursday morning, but that wasn't good enough for the judge who immediately issued a bench warrant. Twist got wind of the warrant and headed to court in the afternoon.

When he arrived he was taken into custody, and booked for failure to appear.

DJ Paul van Dyk shot off a shockingly offensive tweet to his 1.37 mil followers Thursday afternoon, but he's dismissing the message ... saying he's the victim of hackers.

First, the tweet: "RULE #1: No black people allowed at concerts from this point on. No exceptions."

Now, Paul's explanation. His rep tells us the popular DJ 100% did not compose the tweet, and points out the cyber attackers hit Paul on other fronts too. Hackers also got into his website, posted several credit card numbers and deleted the rest of his site.

Paul's team eventually regained control of his accounts and restored the website.

Most importantly, the rep says that tweet contradicts everything Paul's ever stood for.

Sam Hunt and his on-again, off-again gf, Hannah Lee Fowler, are looking very ON while they show off their toned bods in Hawaii.

The sometimes exes got in some snorkeling Thursday on the Big Island, and didn't seem the slightest bit concerned about the hurricane headed their way.

Wilmer Valderrama and Minka Kelly seem to be rekindling an old flame, and it's already getting really hot.

The exes grabbed a spicy meal at Palms Thai Restaurant in Hollywood -- before leaving in Wilmer's ride. Note the perfect gentleman move with the car door.

Minka and Wilmer used to be an item in 2012 ... shortly after she split with Derek Jeter. Wilmer just broke up with Demi Lovato a couple months ago -- so this time he's the one rebounding.

And doing it well.
