Chief Keef is free to drive around without fear of getting pulled over ... for unlicensed driving, anyway.

The 21-year-old rapper just got his California state drivers license -- which is pretty shocking news, considering how many freakin' cars the guy's had for years!

Sources close to Keef tell us he was sick of "riding dirty" -- taking back streets when he was out in one of his luxury whips in order to dodge cops. We're told he'd tried several times over the years to get legal, but he was constantly on tour ... and when he wasn't, the line at DMV was way too long.

Welcome to the real world, Chief.

Darius McCrary's wife is divorcing him, and wants the judge to keep him away from their infant daughter until he gets help for booze, drugs and rage.

Tammy Brawner filed in L.A. citing irreconcilable differences, and made it clear she has serious concerns about 1-year-old Zoey's safety. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Tammy says she wants Darius to "attend alcohol/drug abuse and batterers' intervention classes."

She wants his visitation rights cut off until the "Family Matters" star provides proof he's completed a treatment program.

Not shockingly, Tammy wants legal and physical custody of Zoey. She's also asking for spousal support.

Senator Marco Rubio's taking a shot at Snoop Dogg over his music video taking a more literal shot at President Trump.

We got Rubio at Reagan National Airport, and he took a strong stance against Snoop's "Lavender" music video ... and the imagery of Snoop aiming a gun at the prez. He says disagreeing with policy is one thing, but worries Snoop is now crossing into a dangerous area -- where he's potentially giving twisted people very wrong ideas.

Remember, Rubio's famously a huge fan of hip-hop icons like Snoop, but this time he just ain't down.

Criss Angel wasn't pulling a publicity stunt when he passed out during his straight jacket act and says the proof is in the audience.

Criss told us his 82-year-old mom and his 3-year-old son were front and center at Friday night's Mindfreak Live! show in Vegas when his trick went horribly wrong. He insists he'd never do anything to scare them, especially his son who's battling leukemia.

Madonna's obsessed fan has his eye on a $5 million prize for allegedly being beaten and arrested by New York's finest.

Robert Linhart -- a retired FDNY firefighter -- was busted back in 2010 after he camped outside Madonna's pad, waving a sign that read, "M, the Universe brought us together in 1992 and again this year in Prague. Meet me please XXX." Cops told him to leave, he refused so he was arrested.

Linhart was convicted of resisting arrest but filed suit against the city and several NYPD cops. Linhart accuses cops of turning him into their personal punching bag by kicking and beating him in the back, neck, shoulders and arms.

We've learned Linhart has now named his price to make the lawsuit go away -- $5 MILLION.

It's unclear how much, if anything, the city is willing to pay, but we know Linhart's lawyer, Pete Gleason, has a meeting with city lawyers April 25.

Howard Stern 'Wack Packer' Joey Boots died from an accidental heroin overdose.

The Medical Examiner's Office in NYC tells TMZ it's determined his official cause of death is "acute heroin intoxication." The 49-year-old's body was found slumped over in a chair in his apartment on Dec. 23.

Joey had openly discussed his battles with cocaine and crack addiction on the radio. After his death, some of Joey's friends told us they thought he was no longer using.

Fellow 'Wack Packer' High Pitch Erik found Joey while recording a podcast.

Dweezil Zappa's brother and sister are going after him, claiming he's ruining the Zappa name by spreading lies that tarnish their father's legacy.

Ahmet and Diva Zappa just filed legal docs asking a judge to let them start a website to counter Dweezil's claim they are trying to ruin his career by denying him the right to perform his Zappa Plays Zappa tour.

Dweezil has gone on a rant claiming Ahmet and Diva -- who now run Frank Zappa's estate -- have flat-out prohibited him from using ZPZ in concert.

Ahmet and Diva say in their docs ... Dweezil is full of it -- they have always given him the right to tour with Zappa Plays Zappa for the very reasonable price of $1.

They're especially upset with the mocking -- Dweezil's new tour name is "Dweezil Zappa Plays Whatever the F@%k he wants: Cease and Desist Tour 2016."

Diva and Ahmet are also pissed off that Dweezil -- who they claim received many millions though life insurance -- was soliciting money from fans to cover his legal bills, but he took heat for it and then tweaked the wording to ask instead for donations so he could continue his music.

Robin Thicke made sure his 40th birthday was literally fun for the whole family -- adults and his 6-year-old son alike.

Robin hosted a luau-themed bash at his Malibu pad Sunday, and Julian was in the thick of it with some cousins and friends there too.

The adult guests included Adrien Brody, Angelica Bridges, Russell Simmons, Orlando Bloom and his son ... and, of course, Robin's gf April Love Geary.

As for the party -- magic show, 2-story water slide, mechanical shark, petting zoo, face painting ... in other words every kid's dream. They had hula dancers too ... fun for kids and adults.

Sources close to Robin tell us he was thinking "family first" when he planned the event.

Paula Patton was not there, but as we reported ... she and Robin are getting close to settling their custody war.

Toya Wright says she's relieved that cops finally have a suspect in custody for the shooting deaths of her 2 brothers.

Toya tells TMZ ... "All we want is justice for my brothers .. We thank everyone for their prayers and support."

Antoine Edwards was booked Thursday in New Orleans for second degree murder. According to NOLA.com, cops narrowed it down to Edwards after several tipsters mentioned a man named "Toine" or "Tweezy" was responsible. Edwards had reportedly told at least one person he did it.

Joshua and Ryan "Rudy" Johnson were shot to death last July while in their car. Both died from multiple gunshot wounds.

El Chapo -- the notorious drug lord once the subject of a worldwide manhunt -- is worried sick in his prison cell over -- READY FOR THIS?! -- his celebrity status ... NOT his criminal case.

Sources close to the kingpin -- yup, we've got those too -- tell TMZ ... Chapo, who is cooling his heels in Manhattan's Metropolitan Correctional Center, is constantly asking his lawyers how the media's portraying him. "He regularly asks his lawyers, 'What are they saying about me?' He's very concerned about his image," the source said.

Joaquin Guzman's got federal indictments against him in 6 states throughout the U.S. ... including New York and Cali. He was ultimately extradited to the US of A following the DEA's efforts to track him down via Sean Penn's cell phone.

He faces life in prison. We reached out to El Chapo's attorneys but they had no comment.

Better get the man a make-up artist for his next court date.

Ezekiel Elliott pulled a woman's shirt down -- exposing her bare breast -- during a St. Patrick's Day party in Dallas ... but a rep for Zeke says it was all in good fun.

Zeke was drinking a beer next to a group of people while on the roof of a Dallas bar to watch the St. Patrick's Day Parade on Greenville Ave.

The woman is playing to paradegoers and motions at her breasts -- then points to Zeke. Next thing you know, he reaches over and pulls her top down, exposing her bare breast. She scrambles to cover up.

We spoke with Elliott's rep who told us the woman wasn't upset ... and actually hung out with Zeke and a group of friends after the parade ended.

Nonetheless ...

12:00 PM -- We just obtained more video of Zeke from the parade. We're told this was taken moments after the breast exposure.

Elliott reaches in a second time and she slaps him away before flashing her cleavage to the crowd below.

Snoop Dogg takes a fake gun to a caricature of Donald Trump and shoots him in a music video.

The rapper goes in hard on the prez in the vid for "Lavender" ... depicting him as nothing but a clown who deserves to be chained up and assassinated ... or at least scared into thinking he'll be killed.

Snoop told Billboard he made the song because "Nobody's dealing with the real issue with this f****** clown as a president."

Johnny Manziel is LOVIN' the engaged life -- making out with his new fiancee, Bre Tiesi, on the streets of Paris ... followed by getting the couples VIP treatment at the Drake concert.

Manziel popped the question (with a massive ring) on Friday and then played tourist in the City of Light -- hitting up various sites including the Notre Dame Cathedral.

The Drake concert was Sunday night and he even hooked up with Von Miller to keep the party rollin'.

Manziel will eventually return to the U.S. where he says he's serious about his pro football comeback.

Stay tuned ...

Trump Tower may soon be guarded by 30-40 full-time NYPD cops ... TMZ has learned.

NY law enforcement sources tell us ... the NYPD has been struggling with manning the building since the election. The department's been drawing from various precincts, and it's been a little helter-skelter.

We're told the brass is now seriously considering cherry-picking 30 to 40 officers with solid records who don't take an excessive number of sick days to staff the area. Half would work the day shift -- 7 AM to 7 PM -- and the other half the night shift.

The advantage ... the officers would have familiarity with the area and any issues that pop up.

Obviously, there's a Secret Service element too, but guarding the building is part of the drill for the NYPD.

An NYPD spokesperson tells us they regularly reassess security measuring as well as staffing, and a number of options are under consideration.
