Nick Jonas is rich and famous, but not above saving a buck ... with the help of a doggie bag.

Jennifer Gimenez came off the set of "Blow" as an addict, but turned herself into a rehab guru -- and says she would've helped George Jung get clean too ... if he wanted it.

The actress, who starred in the film about the famous drug smuggler, tells us she got word from someone in George's camp last year telling her he was drinking a lot ... and they were worried he'd get busted if he didn't get treatment.

Watch -- it sounds like the wheels were in motion, but then came to a hard stop when George got busted last week for a parole violation.

Ben & Jerry's ice cream left a not-so-sweet aftertaste in one NYC customer's mouth -- in fact, she says it gave her some nasty lesions ... which is why she's suing.

The woman says she bought a carton of B&J's Coffee, Coffee BuzzBuzzBuzz! and ended up in the hospital afterward ... due to "oral discomfort." She says she complained to the company, and according to docs, B&J's refunded her $5.50.

In the suit she says she continued to have mouth pain for several months and visited several doctors, oral surgeons and allergists attempting to get relief ... but never did. Finally, In December 2015, she says she had surgery to remove "large white tissue" from her mouth.

The woman, who's repped by attorney Sachin Gadh, believes the BuzzBuzzBuzz! was a bad bad bad hazard that caused her sores. She wants at least $500k in damages.

We contacted Ben & Jerry's, but no word back.

Steve Harvey is getting A LOT of money back for a jet he says he never leased -- all because the company accused of holding his cash hostage never responded to a lawsuit.

Steve filed suit against Oklahoma based Federal Aviation Title Company, claiming he gave them $250k to hold in escrow for a private jet he was trying to lease -- but when the deal went south, he never got a refund.

He says FATC wouldn't pony up the dough because the owners of the jet sued Steve -- putting everything on hold. But Steve says he settled the lawsuit, so FATC needed to hand over the money ... hence the lawsuit.

Steve got a default judgment -- FATC never replied to the suit, and has now been ordered to pay him back, in full.

The question is ...

Rob Kardashian says Blac Chyna left him ... and she took Dream with her.

Rob just posted a few videos showing empty rooms in his house, he says the rooms were fully furnished for Dream and King, Chyna's son with Tyga. An obviously upset Rob also toured his house in a strange string of videos showing off his Christmas decorations.

As we reported ... Chyna's Instagram was hacked earlier Saturday revealing an alleged plan to leave Rob after gaining the Kardashian name and fighting for the trademark.

Rob posted a message on his Instagram account, saying, "I loved every inch of that woman and loved everything that came with her. I truly loved Angela. I gave everything I owned for her. Didn't know I was just part of her plan. I really believed she was in love with me the way that I was with her and I am so hurt and never felt this before."

In a post on her own page, Chyna says, "I have done nothing but help & loved him from the beginning! It's Chy here i got my own!!! I was doing swell before I got with him! I got him out of Khloe's house, helped him lose all that f***ing weight for him to do nothing & gain it all back! Rob asked for all of this!"

Chyna also mentions Rob's been able to come and see Dream but hasn't.

Blac Chyna has a serious hacker problem on her hands ... and if some exposed messages ring true, she's not going down in her trademark battle with Kim, Khloe and Kourtney without a fight.

Chyna posted a video Saturday claiming her Instagram page had been hacked. The page posted numerous private text conversations allegedly between Chyna and her attorney discussing the trademark battle.

One message -- allegedly sent from Chyna last week -- reads, "When I get married 7-17-17, I will just trademark it then ... But f*** it ... I'm not going to ask Kris ... Is it easier when I'm married?"

The hack doesn't end there ... there's also a thread of messages supposedly between Chyna and Young Thug that get flirty and a thread with Chyna and Jayden Smith that mentions Kylie and Tyga.

However -- there's no date stamp on those messages -- so it's unclear if the alleged texts were sent while Chyna was with Rob.

'iCarly' star Miranda Cosgrove's Hollywood Hills block was filled to the brim with cops Friday night after a man was found dead near the actresses' home.

Law enforcement sources tell us they got a call around 11 to Outpost Drive -- a street that's littered with celebs -- for shots fired. When cops arrived, they found a man dead and engulfed in flames. The LAFD put the fire out, and cops recovered ammo and a gun next to the body.

23-year-old Cosgrove lives just a few houses away from where the incident happened.

We're told it appears the man committed suicide, but cops are still looking to talk with anyone who may have witnessed the incident.

And get this ... Charlie Hunnam happened to stroll by the crime scene as everything was going down. Talk about a celeb-stacked neighborhood.

Donald Trump just finished his "Thank You" tour in a very colorful way, with a greeting from some Alabama teens dressed in their Sunday's best.

Trump touched down in Mobile Saturday ... and waiting for him were some Alabamians who serve as Azalea Trail Maids, a group of high schoolers chosen to serve as ambassadors for the city.

The Prez-Elect then made his way to Ladd-Peebles Stadium where he addressed a large crowd, thanking them for their support during the election.

It's no wonder Donald chose Alabama as the grand finale of his tour ... the state supported him with almost 63% of its vote.

Apparently nannies are just too irresistible, because Tarek El Moussa is the latest to get the bug.

We've learned Tarek hooked up with 23-year-old Alyssa Logan, who was taking care of Tarek and Christina's 2 kids and also performing assistant chores.

It's not scandalous like Ben Affleck, Jude Law or Gavin Rossdale. We've learned Tarek and Alyssa began dating in Sept., 4 months after he and Christina separated.

Sources connected with Tarek and Christina tell us ... when Tarek began having feelings for Alyssa, he was warned NOT to date her while she was still an employee. So he essentially canned her, which cleared the way for a romantic relationship.

The video (above) shows Tarek and Alyssa at a Florida Georgia Line concert back in October. Sadly, it didn't last. They broke up later that month.

As we reported, we're told there's still a chance Tarek and Christina will get back together, but we wouldn't put money on it.

It might not be the popular thing to do ... but forgiving Joe Mixon is the Christian thing to do ... so says Justin Bieber's pastor Carl Lentz.

Lentz -- who's also a spiritual advisor to a TON of NBA stars including Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith -- says he understands the outrage over newly released video of Mixon brutalizing a female Oklahoma student during a 2014 incident, but says God's will is clear.

"As Christians, we have no choice BUT to forgive."

Lentz essentially believes Mixon has shown remorse and has taken steps to grow from the situation -- and thinks at his core, the football star is a "good man [who] did a bad thing."

"Storage Wars" star Darrell Sheets is back in the reality TV saddle ... and he's got a new partner in crime.

Sheets was at The Dolby Theatre in Hollywood Friday where he announced that not only is he shooting for the new season of the show ... he just got engaged too!

Sheets' new fiance, Romney Snyder works for HiCaliber Horse Rescue, a group that saves horses from slaughter auctions ... so you can bet the two get along just fine.

Not only does Sheets have a new woman ... he tells us he's dropped an impressive 100 lbs! Watch the clip to find out how he did it.

Oscar De La Hoya says Bernard Hopkins is speaking the truth when he says Saturday's fight will be his last.

De La Hoya was at The Forum -- the same place Hopkins will take on Joe Smith Jr. in just a few hours -- for the Oscar De La Hoya Foundation's annual Holiday Toy Giveaway. 51-year-old Hopkins has claimed the fight against Smith is his final curtain call ... and Oscar says he's a man of his word.

Dr. Henry Heimlich, the man behind an anti-choking maneuver that's undoubtedly saved thousands of lives has died.

According to local reports, Heimlich -- inventor of the Heimlich Maneuver -- passed away just after midnight Friday in a Cincinatti, OH care facility. His family released a statement saying, "Dad was a hero to many people around the world for a simple reason: He helped save untold numbers of lives through the innovation of common-sense procedures and devices."

Heimlich's maneuver was used by a few celebs over the years ... Ralphie May put it to work to save a choking baby in June, and Clint Eastwood did the same at a golf tournament in 2014.
