Rapper Don Q is one lucky son of a gun -- one day after getting busted for weapons and drugs, he strolled outta jail, much to the delight of his famous friend.

Q was arrested Thursday for felony possession of a .22 caliber Beretta and unlawful possession of a bag of weed. Law enforcement sources tell us cops found the pot in his underwear during a strip search.

Don drew a nice crowd of supporters -- including A Boogie -- during his arraignment, and they all must've left happy. He was released without bail, and is due back in court in February.

His attorney, Stacey Richman, tells us there was NO reason for the initial traffic stop, or for cops to search Q and his friends.

"Daddy's Home 2" actress Yamilah Saravong isn't bringing home the kinda dough Will Ferrell, Mel Gibson and Mark Wahlberg do, but the 11-year-old ain't doing bad ... on her hourly rate.

We got a hold of Yamilah's minor contract for the film. She only appears in one scene but she's mentioned throughout the film because Wahlberg's kid in the flick has a crush on her.

She got about $3,500 a week for the role and reportedly worked about 2 weeks -- plus, she got $60 a day for incidentals. Still not impressed? Yamilah's also making 2.5 percent of the film merch profits.

And that's how ya haul in more than 7 large for ONE scene. Well played, Yamilah's agent!

Billy Bush says part of the reason he penned an op-ed calling out President Trump had to do with his accusers, and what Billy perceived as the Prez belittling their claims.

Billy's on the "Late Show" with Stephen Colbert Monday night, and he elaborated on how he came to write a piece in the New York Times directly calling out Trump as the voice on the Access Hollywood tape ... after Trump reportedly tried denying it.

He says he was moved to action by Trump's accusers and their stories ... whom he believes Trump is undermining by casting doubt on the tape.

Retail giants Walmart, Target and Costco and others are getting sued for blowing out toilets and sewer systems with allegedly "flushable" wet wipes.

Here's the straight poop ... a homeowners association in NY state is making a big stink over several brands of flushable wet wipes sold at the stores. According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the wipes claim to be safe for sewers and septic tanks because they break down easily after flushing.

Not so, according to the suit. The HOA says these wipes are built to hold up under the "pressure of scrubbing" ... your anus, that is. That's great news for the wiper, but horrible for the wiper's toilet system, allegedly.

The lawsuit includes several photos of damaged sewage systems, and lays blame squarely on the increased use of flushable wipes.

The HOA says the wipes are costing NY state $18 million a year in dookie damage ... no s**t.

President Trump overstepped his legal authority on Monday when he shrunk one of Utah's national monuments by more than half its size ... according to a slew of wilderness groups taking 45 to court.

According to a lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Trump's controversial decision to strip 900,000 acres from Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is an attempt to reverse President Clinton's 1996 decision to create the Monument.

But the wilderness groups say Trump needs to bone up on the Antiquities Act. They say it only allows Presidents to CREATE national monuments, but does NOT authorize them to do away with national monuments.

Critics say Trump is merely opening up the land so miners and frackers can snatch it up. However, in announcing the sweeping change, the Prez said it should be up to Utah residents to decide whether the land is developed at all.

Khloe Kardashian was doing her best Monday to hide her growing baby bump.

Paps got Khloe leaving the studio where the Kardashians film their confessionals for their show, and she made sure to keep her purse well in front of her belly on the way out. She was also wearing a super loose sweater.

We broke the story ... Khloe's preggo with her first kid -- and her BF, Tristan Thompson, is the daddy.

She's a little more than 5 months pregnant ... so we expect to see more cover in the coming months.

Bring on the bigger purses and sweat suits!

Katy Perry and the Archdiocese of L.A. just won $15 million.

Katy had a deal to buy a convent from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. It's unclear, but it looks like Katy want to use the convent as a home. Thing is, a restaurant owner named Dana Hollister claimed she had already bought the convent from 2 nuns.

The Archdiocese went to the nuns and said they had no right to sell the property. That launched a 2-year battle over who had the right to sell the property.

A husband/wife producing team is suing The Weinstein Company, claiming they were lured into a trap because the company knew Harvey was a ticking time bomb and the result was that their project was torpedoed.

Scott Lambert and Alexandra Milchan claim they had a TV crime drama that was supposed to be directed by David O. Russell. Robert De Niro and Julianne Moore were attached.

They say Amazon had agreed to produce 2 seasons at $160 mil, but the project was shelved in the wake of the sex scandal.

The couple says TWC knew about Harvey's alleged sexual misconduct and did nothing, and that's why their project went in the toilet.

Gloria Estefan is applauding President Trump for staying home and, for once, not stealing the spotlight from her and several other entertainment legends.

We got Gloria Monday at Reagan National in D.C. after her big night with LL Cool J, Lionel Richie, Norman Lear and Carmen de Lavallade at the Kennedy Center Honors. Normally, sitting Presidents always attend the gala, but Trump bowed up -- just the 4th time that's happened.

Pay close attention to this clip ... it might be the first and last time you see Gloria -- vocal opponent of many Trump policies -- say something positive about POTUS.

See? We can all get along. Even when we're clearly not getting along.

Hank Azaria's stereotypical Indian voice as 'Simpsons' character Apu isn't the show's biggest problem -- it's getting Apu some power ... according to the comedian who's challenging producers to make changes.

Hari Kondabolu's documentary, "The Problem with Apu" prompted Hank to tell us he's sorry if he offended anyone with his portrayal of Apu. He also hinted there's a chance Apu doesn't come back -- but Hari says there's a better solution.

'Simpsons' producers, listen up -- we think Hari just made your jobs a little easier.

He might need a writing credit though, if you use this idea. Doh!!

One of the stars of "Little Women: LA" is taking a bunch of doctors to court for a BIG payday ... 'cause she claims they screwed up her neck in surgery.

Christy Gibel just sued some M.D.s from a surgery center in Beverly Hills called 90210 Surgery Medical Center as well as Cedars-Sinai and other private practices, claiming the whole lot screwed up a spinal cord surgery she underwent with them in 2016.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Christy says she went under last November for a procedure called an anterior discectomy and spinal cord decompression, and during a couple post-op visits ... the doctors overseeing the matter misled her despite worsening symptoms.

She says she felt her left eye drooping, and her tongue swelling, and was unable to speak for a while -- all of which she says she was told would subside over time ... but it didn't. She also claims they admitted her jugular vein was nicked during surgery.

The reality star is suing for negligence and asking for an unspecified amount in damages and medical costs related to the alleged botched surgery. We've reached out to 90210 and Cedars ... so far, no word back.

Donald Trump's campaign honchos destroyed the career of a woman by accusing her of undermining his efforts to get elected ... according to a lawsuit filed against Trump's campaign.

Jessica Denson says she was working for the Trump campaign last year, and says other members of the staff made her life a living hell. In the docs, Denson says her direct boss started a rumor she was responsible for the October 2016 leak of Trump's tax returns ... which she denies. She also says campaign staffers attempted to steal her personal laptop, and cyber-bullied her.

Denson, who was a journalist before joining the campaign, says she reported the incidents to Deputy Campaign Manager David Bossie and campaign COO Jeff DeWitt. According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, DeWitt responded by sending an internal email accusing Denson of wasting campaign money.

2:35 PM -- UCLA coach Steve Alford has addressed Gelo's departure, saying “We learned today of LiAngelo Ball’s intention to withdraw from UCLA. We respect the decision he and his family have made, and we wish him all the best in the future.

It's a stunning move ... LiAngelo Ball will no longer be on the UCLA basketball team and, in fact, he will not be a student at UCLA ... because his father, LaVar Ball, is removing him from the institution ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As you know, LiAngelo was indefinitely suspended from the team after he stole from several stores during a trip to China. LiAngelo was placed on house arrest but was sprung after Trump and others went to bat for him.

We're told LaVar believes the suspension was unfair, especially since the charges were dropped. LaVar's people tell TMZ Sports the famous dad thinks, "There's no need to break down a kid's spirit for making a mistake."

Our sources say LiAngelo is not officially withdrawn from the school but he's at home and will not return to UCLA.

LiAngelo was a freshman and never actually played a game for the team.

A family spokesperson added LiAngelo and Lavar appreciate UCLA for everything ... despite the circumstances that led to the suspension.

Story developing ...

Xscape is the group's name but Tamika Scott could barely make it out of the jumpsuit she was wearing onstage over the weekend, instead going down like a pile of bricks.

The foursome was playing the Spectrum Center Saturday in Charlotte when, during the dance break for "Hot Boy" ... Tamika had a wardrobe malfunction of epic proportions.

Scott, Tiny, Kandi Burruss, LaTocha Scott and their dancers start off strong, barely missing a step, until it's time for the top layer to come off.
