We told he's pulling back on parties for starters, but there's this problem with his 2 roommates/best friends. They now have to submit a guest list to Chris IN WRITING, and they must describe who they are with sufficient details so he can decide whether he wants them in his home.

LEAVE THE CANS ALONE

'Sopranos' and "24" star Louis Lombardi thinks people getting pissed off over Walmart's Coke can 9/11 tribute ... is un-American.

Earlier this week a Florida Walmart built a 20 ft. display of the Twin Towers and an American flag using 12-packs of Coke products. Some people appreciated the artistry, but others found it a disrespectful, commercialized abomination.

Lombardi, a native New Yorker, thinks the haters are looking at the display the wrong way.

His take? Any tribute's a good one, and there's more important stuff to bitch about on social media.

Nelly No Pimp Juice with Uncle Sam ... IRS Demands a Couple Mil

Published | Updated

Nelly might wanna tighten his belt, he's staring down one of the biggest celeb tax liens we've ever seen ... topping the $2 mil mark!

Uncle Sam nailed Nelly with a $2,412,283 federal tax lien in August. The tab is so big, the IRS could start seizing his assets and property.

He's also got state tax trouble -- earlier this year, the Missouri Department of Revenue said the St. Louis rapper owed $149,511 in unpaid state taxes from 2013. He originally owed a mere $113,533 ... but interest is a bitch.

Sources close to Nelly tell us he's already working with the tax authorities to resolve the issues.

Desiigner They Can't Keep a Successful Young Black Man Down

Published | Updated

Desiigner is a successful young black man that will not be taken down by bogus drug and weapons charges ... so vows his legal team.

The "Panda" rapper is now a free man after spending 36 hours in a NYC jail. His legal team of Stacey Richman and Ian Niles tells TMZ it's an outrage he was charged with carrying a loaded gun, when no gun was ever found and he never had one in the SUV. A driver of another car told cops Desiigner had a gun, and they took it at face value.

His legal team is equally indignant over the drug charges, saying all of the pills found in the car were legal prescriptions written by a doctor for the SUV driver. The legal team adds Desiigner didn't even know there were drugs in the car.

Law enforcement sources had told TMZ the pills were Oxycontin, methadone and steroids, but his legal team blasts the cops, saying they "recklessly reported the information to the media."

The D.A. dismissed the weapons charge and the charge of intent to sell drugs. He's still charged with possession of a controlled substance. The weird things ... Desiigner is still charged with criminal menacing for allegedly waiving a firearm, yet authorities now concede there was no gun.

And the legal team ends this way ... "It's time to embrace the true narrative of a young black man enjoying his success and working hard for a prosperous career."

Desiigner & Tyga Droppin' Huge Stacks At Gucci The Best Cure For Jail Hangover

Published | Updated

Desiigner is wasting no time getting back into the mix of being a super famous rapper ... hitting up the Gucci store with Tyga and blowin' cash.

The freshly sprung from jail rapper hit up the Gucci store in NYC with fellow G.O.O.D. Music rapper Tyga Saturday, only hours after his release. They recently dropped the song, "Gucci Snakes." Tyga stayed quiet -- but Desiigner preached a message of knowing your worth -- and he says jail definitely isn't where he belongs.

It's unclear just how much the two spent or what they got ... but judging by the number of bags and the cash in their hands, the two fared EXTREMELY well.

TLC's 'Willis Family' Star Charged With Raping Child

Published | Updated

1:00 PM PST -- Sources close to the show tell us the family was informed in May by TLC it wouldn't be picked up for a third season. We're also told the network did extensive background checks on Toby and his family but nothing raised any red flags. A rep for the networks tells us they haven't aired an episode of the show since April and they are, "shocked to hear the news."

Toby Willis, the dad from TLC's "The Willis Family" has been arrested and charged with raping a child.

Special agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations say they began investigating Willis late last month. We're told he was arrested Friday after the investigation revealed Willis had a sexual encounter approximately 12 years ago with an underage female.

Investigators say Willis was picked up in Kentucky after he fled law enforcement. He's been charged with one count of rape of a child and is being held without bond.

"The Willis Family" features Toby, his wife and their 12 children between the ages of 5 and 24 who make up a country music band.

TLC has had its problems.

"19 Kids and Counting" was cancelled after police revealed Josh Duggar was under investigation for molesting 5 underage girls, including his sisters. "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" was also cancelled after Mama June started dating an old fling who had allegedly molested her daughter.

As for "The Willis Family" ... it appears the show's page has been yanked from the TLC website.

Master P's Ex He's Using Our Kids to Save a Buck

Published | Updated

Master P is full of it when he says he's broke, and even worse -- he's turned 3 of his kids into pawns in his divorce war with Sonya Miller ... according to Sonya, anyway.

Sonya is now firing back at her estranged husband and their children. We broke the story about the kids writing letters to the judge saying they preferred living with Dad because Mom is a drug addict.

But in new docs, Sonya says that Master P is pissed about recent court orders for him to pay her what she's owed ... so he used the kids to mislead the court.

She takes a shot at P's parenting too ... saying his decision to involve the children was selfish and not in their best interest. Sonya's also not buying his claim he only makes $2,441 per month.

She claims his net worth was $350 mil within the last 5 years, plus ... he still rolls in a Rolls.

Bottom line -- Sonya thinks Master P is more concerned about his bottom line than child custody.

THIS IS WHAT SHE CAME FOR

Taylor Swift owned the song she secretly helped write for Calvin Harris ... not only lip syncing it, but posting it on social media.

Taylor was at the Tommy Hilfiger fashion show in NYC Friday when the DJ blasted "This Is What You Came For."

You'll recall ... after Taylor and Calvin broke up, she laid claim to the song, but Calvin fired back it was almost all him.

She was in the credits under the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg as the songwriter/composer, but later changed it back to her own name.
