Ex-NFL star Jamal Anderson is back behind bars ... stemming from a bizarre incident at a Georgia gas station when the former Falcons star allegedly whipped out his penis in front of the clerk.

Valerie Fairman -- the 23-year-old star from the reality show "16 and Pregnant" -- has died and her family tells TMZ it appears to be an overdose.

Valerie's mom tells us she was at a friend's home in Coatesville, Pennsylvania Wednesday when the friend repeatedly called for Valerie, who was in the bathroom, but she did not come out. We're told the friend broke down the door and found her unresponsive.

The coroner is conducting toxicology tests to determine the exact cause of death but we're told it appears to be an OD.

Valerie's child, 7-year-old Nevaeh, is currently with her mom.

As for Valerie, she has been arrested a number of times. The charges include prostitution and, just last week she was busted for resisting arrest and providing false ID to law enforcement. She attempted to run from cops, who subdued her.

RIP

The hammer allegedly used to murder Lisa Marie Naegle -- along with her blood-soaked clothes -- has been recovered by cops ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

TMZ broke the story ... Jackie Jerome Rogers confessed to cops he bludgeoned Lisa Marie to death by hitting her 7 times in the head with a hammer early Sunday morning.

Rogers told cops where he hid the hammer, buried the body and ditched other evidence. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ cops recovered the murder weapon and some of Lisa Marie's bloody clothing.

And there's this bizarre twist ... law enforcement tells us Rogers wiped Lisa Marie's body clean before burying it in his backyard. Our sources say he told cops he freaked out when he saw all the blood on her body and figured by cleaning it he would be sanitizing the crime scene.

Rogers' SUV also was impounded and detectives are searching for evidence. As we reported, surveillance video shows Lisa Marie getting into Rogers' vehicle just hours before she was killed. We're told they went to a Jack In the Box and she told him she was ending their affair and going back to her husband. One law enforcement source says he may have killed her in the SUV.

Richard Marx learned a valuable lesson from his 4-hour mid-flight ordeal with an out of control passenger ... and he's begging South Korea to learn it too.

The '80s and '90s pop star talked to a photog about the scary incident that went down right next to Richard and his wife, Daisy Fuentes, aboard a Korean Air flight.

Richard ended up helping flight attendants restrain the guy, and was very critical of the crew's emergency training. But check out his takeaway from the whole mess. It's a direct shot, and while it's unclear if he's pissed only at the airline or the entire nation -- it's 100% clear he won't be a frequent flyer.

Meek Mill's about to haul it in for headlining a New Year's Eve party in Miami ... and the amount of 0s on his paycheck is right up there with some of rap's biggest acts.

Sources close to Meek tell us ... he's getting $200k to perform at Dream Nightclub in South Beach, plus $20k to partially cover expenses. Not too shabby for a guy whose career seems to be on a never-ending roller coaster.

We're told Meek will also be lubricated with spirits -- 10 bottles of Ace of Spades, 5 bottles of Moet Nectar Rosé and some Hennessy and tequila to boot.

Varsity Lifestyle Group is throwing the bash, and tickets to ring in the new year with the rapper are $60 for chicks, $109 for dudes, with VIP packages ranging from around $4k to $10k. It's scheduled to rage 'til 5 AM.

Gene Simmons and KISS turned down Donald Trump's invite to perform on Inauguration Day ... so says Gene's famous wife.

Poor Gene couldn't get a word in edgewise Wednesday night as he, wife Shannon Tweed and daughter Sophie left Catch in WeHo.

It's pretty clear ... Gene has warm feelings for Trump but there's a hard family divide, because Shannon and Sophie go nuts just hearing the Prez-elect's name.

Now, here's the mystery. Gene says KISS will be touring in Europe next month, so if the band did decline the invite it could have simply been a matter of scheduling. But Shannon is selling a different story.

The Ku Klux Klan members featured in A&E's upcoming docuseries, "Generation KKK," agreed to open their lives, but we've learned the network did not open its checkbook.

Production sources tell TMZ ... the families profiled on the show agreed because they feel they're misunderstood. They somehow want to convince viewers they are not a racist group but rather a "race preservation group."

The trailer A&E just released ignited a firestorm of criticism because everyone assumed the subjects and network were profiting from hate.

Our sources say the show was shot as a documentary and, as such, the subjects didn't get a dime. Their motivation was using the show as a platform to recast their image.

Milo Ventimiglia -- who plays the dad in "This is Us" -- says his character is on the show for the long haul, even though he's long dead.

We got Milo jumping on his chopper in Bev Hills after a meal at La Scala ... undeterred by the rain.

The awesome actor revealed the 2 fake dads and one real one he admires.

A porn studio fired a longtime producer after its star actress, Nikki Benz, accused him of stomping on her head and choking her out during a shoot ... but the guy's calling BS.

Brazzers -- a porn production company -- tells TMZ ... they've officially cut ties with Tony T., who allegedly went too far during a recent sex scene he directed with Nikki.

Nikki claims Tony choked her and stomped on her head in a fit of rage. It's unclear what allegedly set Tony off, but Nikki claims he attacked her during one of her sex scenes. It appears her claim is that she did something on camera he didn't like.

Apparently, the sex scene was completed but Brazzers tells us it will not release it, saying the video "stands in direct contrast with our mandate to ensure that performers' consent, boundaries and limits are respected."

As for Tony, his rep tells us he denies the allegations and laments the actions taken by Brazzers. We're told he's confident his name will be cleared.

Paris Hilton will spin on New Year's Eve ... but the price is steep.

Paris was at LAX Wednesday when she told our photog her song choice when the clock strikes midnight. Kool & The Gang's "Celebration"? Nope. Prince's "Party Like It's 1999"? Guess again.

Mike Posner's ditching his L.A. bachelor pad, and based on the asking price the rest of the country is saying, WTF?!!

The "I Took a Pill In Ibiza" crooner's home is in escrow for around the $1.375 million asking price. Posner initially put the 4 bedroom, 3 bath place on the market in September for $1.425 mil.

There's a huge private deck connecting the main house with the back guest house, where we think Posner wrote some of his songs.

He's been living there since 2013, when he bought it for a little over a million bucks, so he'll walk away with a nice profit.

Here she is ... the newest member of the Mamba family!

Vanessa Bryant just posted the very first pic of her new baby daughter, Bianka Bryant ... born December 5.

Mrs. Mamba added, "Kobe and I are beyond excited to welcome our newest baby girl, Bianka!!! #BabyBlessing #SweetBaby #AnotherAngel"

It's the couple's 3rd kid.

Congrats!!

Jennifer Lopez's ex-hubby was stunned at our news ... J Lo and Drake are on the road to hooking up.

We broke the news to Cris Judd at The Grove in L.A. Tuesday, and he was legitimately surprised. Check out the vid ... it doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement.

As for Cris ... he's long since moved on since their 2002 divorce. He's remarried with a kid.

One thing's for sure -- if J Lo and Drake make any music together ... Cris probably won't listen.

A graphic designer is suing Cher claiming she jacked his famous typeface and slapped it all over her 2013 album, "Closer to the Truth."

Moshik Nadev says he created the font, which he calls Paris Logo, back in 2011 ... which earned him praise on a load of graphic design websites, even Vogue.

Nadev says his famous font and the font on Cher's album are indistinguishable ... in thickness of the swishes and lettering which, gotta say, they look super similar.

Nadev says he contacted Cher, her label and graphic designers to fork over the materials they used to create their logo, but they've refused and continue to sell the album.

He's suing for more than $5 million in damages.

We reached out to Cher for comment ... so far, no word back.
