Paris Jackson's alone and in charge ... living in the back guesthouse at Michael's old Encino mansion.

Sources close to the family tell TMZ ... Paris had been itching to cut the cord from living with her grandmother in Calabasas ... where Blanket and several of her cousins also live. We're told the family had security concerns about her living just anywhere, so it was suggested she use MJ's old compound.

Michael's estate controls all of his properties, meaning ... technically, Paris needed permission to live there. We're told she went to them, and pointed out she basically owns the crib as part of her trust -- and the estate didn't fight her.

As for why she's in the guesthouse -- the main house is being remodeled.

We're also told Paris is living there completely on her own. She and bf Michael Snoddy recently posted pics from the backyard -- he comes and goes, but does NOT live there.

The USOC dropped the hammer on Ryan Lochte because his full punishment includes a ban from the next swimming National Championships meet ... which could put his swim career in jeopardy.

Lochte is also banned from visting the White House with the rest of Team USA Olympians. TMZ Sports broke the story ... Lochte will be banned from swim meets for 10 months, but the USOC just released the full list of punishments he's facing.

He has to return the money he was awarded for winning a gold medal at the games ... perform 20 hours of community service ... and he will have no access to training centers.

The National Championship ban -- which falls outside his 10 month suspension -- is a real shot, since it also means Lochte can't compete in the World Championships ... which could hamper the 32-year-old's hopes of competing in the 2020 Olympics. On the other hand, Michael Phelps got the same ban, and ended up kicking ass this year.

The other swimmers involved in the Rio incident -- Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and James Feigen -- got 4 month suspensions ... and will also be banned from the White House visit.

Ryan Lochte was a man of few words after he learned he's being benched for 10 months.

Lochte was on a plane Wednesday afternoon when TMZ Sports broke the story about the USOC's decision to suspend him. When he landed at LAX he was stoic, declining to say if he felt the punishment was too harsh, especially given the 6 months Michael Phelps got for 2 DUIs.

He had more to say about "Dancing With the Stars" ... he has a bad case of the nerves, and says why.

Teyana Taylor doing what she does best -- and it's so good it hurts.

The "Fade" dancer put on yet another super sexy show ... this time at Kanye West's GOOD music pop-up show Wednesday night at Highline Ballroom in NYC.

BTW ... the guy who grinds up on her at the end ... fiance/baby daddy, Iman Shumpert.

There will be no handing out of red roses for the gay bachelor -- we've learned all the dudes will be vying for a black tie.

Sources close to production tell us the major difference between "Finding Prince Charming" and "The Bachelor" -- apart from the same sex thing -- is the ceremonial red rose that gets people through to the next round.

Instead, the 13 guys competing for Robert Sepulveda Jr. will walk up to him on elimination day in hopes of getting something around their necks.

Upside: No thorns when the show premieres Thursday on Logo.

Drake flatly denied getting "robbed" ... and technically he's right although he's clearly dodging the point.

Drake showed up with Rihanna at The Nice Guy in WeHo Wednesday night, when our photog asked about the $3 million jewelry heist that went down earlier in the day.

Two problems with the question ... he was not "robbed" since that requires force to get something and this was more like a burglary. Second, the victim is Drake's DJ, who owned the bling.

Nick Young is not only over Iggy Azalea, he hopes she ties the knot with her new BF, French Montana ... then again he could be dripping in sarcasm.

Die-hard Bernie Sanders supporter Sarah Silverman is now definitely "with Her" ... defending Hillary Clinton amid all the rumors about her health.

We got Sarah in Bev Hills and asked what she thought about the claims Clinton's suffering from all kinds of ailments -- from concussions to Parkinson's -- and Dr. Silverman sounded off ... very loudly.

Check out her diagnosis, and remember ... Sarah has some firsthand perspective after speaking at the DNC.

Tyga's gotta get his crap together -- not just for Kylie Jenner -- but for his new boss, Kanye West.

'Ye announced Wednesday night in NYC, he signed Tyga to his G.O.O.D. Music label ... and then brought him out onstage to perform with new label mate, Desiigner.

He'd been with Young Money/Cash Money since 2007, but things went south a couple years ago when he accused the label of holding him hostage.

As we've reported, the Kardashians ain't happy about Tyga's trail of financial problems -- from houses to cars to business deals -- because they feel it's embarrassing to Kylie and the whole fam.

So, is Kanye throwing his sis-in-law's bf a lifeline ... a la Kris Jenner managing her daughters?

One thing's for sure, Tyga's now secure in the fold.

Laya DeLeon Hayes -- the little girl who plays Doc McStuffins on Disney Junior -- could put Colin Kaepernick in an awkward spot.

Our photog got the 12-year-old at the Grove Wednesday, and she told us her dream is to sing the National Anthem at a Lakers game.

She sang part of it for us, and gotta say ... nailed it.

Juan Gabriel's history of pneumonia was among several significant factors that contributed to his death ... this according to the death certificate obtained by TMZ.

The document confirms the iconic Mexican singer's death was caused by arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease ... which prevents blood flow to the heart.

TMZ broke the story ... Juan's heart problems led to his sudden death nearly 2 weeks ago. He also battled diabetes. Along with pneumonia, the death certificate lists hypertension as a factor.

You'll recall ... pneumonia forced the singer to cancel numerous shows late in his career.

He was 66.

Montel Williams is about to launch a line of potent medical marijuana products to fight chronic pain -- but of course ... it's also gonna get some people SUPER high.

Montel's taking his marijuana advocacy to the next level -- launching a bud line called LenitivLabs. He's been a medical marijuana advocate for 17 years, since he smokes the potent stuff to combat his constant pain related to Multiple Sclerosis.

Montel says his pot strain will be the highest quality and consistency without any harmful additives. If all goes well -- meaning big sales -- he wants to fund more research for medical cannabis uses.

LenitivLabs will make its debut in L.A. at the Cannabis World Congress and Business Exposition -- yep, that's a thing -- where we're guessing there will be more than a few high attendees.

The guy who allegedly nabbed $3 million in jewelry from Drake's tour bus just got arrested ... TMZ has learned.

The suspect, Travion King, was arrested on campus at Arizona State University Wednesday afternoon, and cops describe him as a transient.

Police say they found him with the briefcase which contained all of the jewelry. He's been booked for felony burglary.

As we first reported ... cops say the loot -- which belonged to Drake's DJ, Future the Prince -- was lifted from one of Drake's tour buses parked outside the Talking Stick Arena in downtown Phoenix.

We're told King has worked for the arena in the past for concerts ... but he was not working during Tuesday night's Drake-Future show.

We got video of Drizzy going off on someone on his security team after he learned about the heist.

Nick Bateman looks good doing just about anything with his shirt off -- and it goes without saying ... that applies to a day at the beach.

We got the model in Malibu where he got his fris on and eventually hit the waves, showing off his impressive torso in the process.

Saint West isn't the only one who scored a hard to find pair of baby Yeezys. Guess the little guy in this photo rockin' the Kanye kicks!

3 hints:

1) They're a size 7k ... toddler

2) They were personally gifted from Kim and Kanye
