Heather Locklear Will Escape Felony Charge In Domestic Violence Arrest

Published | Updated

2:30 PM PT -- The D.A. has charged Heather with four counts of misdemeanor battery on an officer. She's also facing one charge of resisting or obstructing an officer.

She was not charged with hitting her boyfriend, even though that's why she was originally arrested.

Heather Locklear has dodged a bullet, because TMZ has learned she will NOT be charged with felony domestic violence in connection with the fight she had with her boyfriend that landed her in jail.

We broke the story ... Heather was arrested last month after her brother called 911 saying Heather and her boyfriend were drunk and fighting. When cops arrived they observed injuries to the boyfriend and placed Heather under arrest for felony domestic violence.

During the arrest, Heather allegedly became combative and attacked a cop, kicking 1 in the shin and striking 2 others. We're told she will be charged with misdemeanor battery on a peace officer.

Heather also screamed, "You f****** deserve your kids to die! You f****** deserve it! And when you find yourself in that position, think of me!" She also said, "I hope no one f****** burns your entire department down, your f****** police department ..." She also said, "If you ever come back to my house I will shoot you."

As we reported ... cops obtained a search warrant and were looking for a gun registered in her name but did not find the weapon. The search warrant noted Heather had a history of drug and other alcohol-related incidents, including a call in 2012 where she reported to be suicidal.

Heather is currently in a medical treatment facility.

Christopher Darden The Glove DID Fit O.J. Finally Admitted It!!!

Published | Updated

O.J. Simpson copping to leaving the infamous bloody glove at the double murder scene is all former prosecutor Christopher Darden needed to hear to know he was right all along.

Darden, Marcia Clark's co-prosecutor in Simpson's trial of the century, tells us watching "O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession?" proved Simpson and his dream team outsmarted the jury.

In particular, he says Johnnie Cochran's famous line, "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit" just doesn't hold up once you hear Simpson admit he must have left the glove "because they found the glove there." Darden famously came up with the plan to have Simpson try on the gloves in court ... which, of course, backfired on the prosecution.

As for Simpson's hypothetical accomplice named Charlie -- Darden has an explanation, and it's all about O.J.'s imagination.

Nick Gordon 911 Call Shows He Cried Hysterically to Cops

Published | Updated

Bobbi Kristina Brown's ex, Nick Gordon, was the one who called cops and sounded frantic on the phone, claiming his girlfriend was losing it on him ... according to the 911 call.

In the audio, obtained by TMZ, you can hear Gordon crying and sobbing on the phone, saying he "sounds so lame because I'm getting beat up by a woman." He claims she threw a bottle at him.

As we reported ... Gordon was taken into custody Saturday after police responded to a possible domestic violence incident. He told cops his girlfriend, Laura Leal, had attacked him out of nowhere ... but she claims he beat her on the ride home from a bar.

The arresting officer says he saw visible marks on Leal and placed Gordon under arrest. He'd been released on bail as of Sunday evening.

As for the Brown family, Bobby says he's willing to help Leal with services through the Bobbi Kristina Brown Serenity House in the hope she could avoid the same fate as his daughter. Gordon was arrested for another alleged domestic violence incident last year as well.

Gordon was under scrutiny in connection with Bobbi Kristina's death ... he even lost a wrongful death lawsuit, and is currently on the hook for $36 million to her estate.

Blac Chyna's BF I've Got Helpful Tips to Slay 'Hoes' On Christian Mingle

Published | Updated

Tinder and Bumble might have serious competition on their hands thanks to Blac Chyna's new boyfriend, YBN Almighty Jay, who's hyping up Christian Mingle after using it to meet her.

We got the 18-year-old Houston rapper Sunday at the DUB Show Tour at the L.A. Convention Center, and he confirmed the rumor he met Chyna -- who's 11 years older than Jay -- on the religion-centered app. Now, this seems like a serious paradox, but sounds like Jay told a little white lie on his profile.

He's recommending others do the same if they wanna link up with Chyna-types.

BC was at the convention center with her guy -- so, it's hard to argue with his technique when he's got the MILF of his dreams on his arm.

Mischa Barton Denies Crashing U-Haul Into Building Despite Vid of U-Haul Crashed into Building

IN WITH A BANG

Mischa Barton straight-up denies crashing a U-Haul into an apartment building ... and we're guessing she'll deal with this fairly incriminating video once she gets to court.

TMZ broke the story ... the homeowners' association at The Park Wellington Condos in WeHo sued Mischa, alleging she misjudged the height of the carport before slamming into it and causing nearly $27k in damages. Mischa's now filed docs, obtained by TMZ, and she's denying it all.

It's a common move in civil cases to make a blanket denial, but we're guessing the video will be a tough thing to overcome. It shows Mischa clearly shaken right after the crash.

As we reported ... Park Wellington first tried to get Mischa's then-bf, Adam Spaw, to cover the damage, since he rented the truck. That insurance claim was denied, so now the HOA is going after Mischa, who is listed as the driver in the police report.

The crash came less than a month after Mischa's infamous meltdown.

NYC Helicopter Crash Passenger Posted Takeoff Video Minutes Before Going Down

Published | Updated

One of the passengers who died on that helicopter that crashed into NYC's East River captured the aircraft's takeoff and posted it moments before they went down.

Trevor Cadigan (closest to camera) was recording video as the Eurocopter AS350 lifted off from a New Jersey heliport. Trevor, and others onboard, smiled and gave a thumbs-up to the camera. Tragically, their flight only lasted 11 minutes.

As we reported, the chopper crashed Sunday and slammed down into the river, killing all 5 passengers. The pilot, Richard Vance, was the only survivor.

Vance told investigators a passenger's bag might have hit an emergency fuel shut-off button, causing the chopper to lose power and eventually crash. The NTSB is investigating.

Cadigan was a video journalist from Dallas who worked for Business Insider.

NOT FEELING WELL

Tim McGraw collapsed onstage during a show in Ireland with his wife, Faith Hill, and she broke the news to their fans ... the show would not go on.

The couple's Soul2Soul Tour was in Dublin Sunday night, and right after he performed "Humble & Kind" ... Tim reportedly dropped to his knees, then sat down. He left the stage, and Faith came out to say, "He's been super dehydrated. I apologize, but I made the decision that he cannot come back out onstage."

Tim was in the middle of a pretty grueling part of the tour that included 3 cities in 3 days.

He'll have some time to recover -- he and Faith aren't scheduled to perform again until May 31 in Virginia.

Dennis Rodman Pleads Guilty to DUI ... Miraculously Avoids Jail

Published | Updated

Dennis Rodman just pled guilty to two counts of misdemeanor DUI stemming from a January arrest in Newport Beach ... but he's somehow managed to stay out of jail -- at least for now.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Rodman was busted around 11 PM on Jan. 13 when cops saw him swerving and blasting music with a blood alcohol level of .21 -- more than double the legal limit.

The big issue for Rodman ... he was on probation at the time for a 2016 wrong way car crash and had been ordered to stay clean or else face jail.

But Rodman struck a plea deal with prosecutors in which he agreed to plead guilty and, in exchange, he only got 9 months of an alcohol program.

His probation was revoked -- but is now reinstated -- and instead of sending Rodman to jail, he was essentially given a slap on the wrist and told that if he messes up again in the next 2 years, he'll go to jail for 90 days.

Rodman went to rehab immediately after the arrest and insists he's now sober and plans to stay that way.

Nicole Murphy Not Ruffling Feathers Just My Pink Bikini!!

Published | Updated

Nicole Murphy can dip into all the pools she wants -- as she did in Miami this weekend -- but it won't make her any less sizzling hot.

Nicole slayed in a pink ruffled bikini Sunday, seemingly continuing what we've dubbed her "50 Never Looked So Good" tour. It's been rolling since the night we got her out celebrating the half-century mark.

Hair and nails done? Of course. Matching jewelry? Ditto. Shades on standby? Check. The whole ensemble does some serious wonders.

But then, again ... Nicole can turn any scene into an absolute smoke show. Literally, anything. Remember her pumping gas? Or, when she actually upstaged a freaking movie premiere? We rest our case.

OK, one last question ... how in the hell is Nicole still single?!

O.J. Simpson Confesses to Murder

THE CONFESSION

After 24 years any mystery surrounding the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman is over ... because O.J. Simpson confessed.

FOX aired "O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession?" Sunday night and Simpson walked publisher Judith Regan through what happened on June 12, 1994. He starts out adamant -- he was just talking hypothetically, which is weird, because if he didn't do it what's his basis for creating the hypothetical.

Simpson starts by talking about his "friend Charlie" ... whom he says for some reason went to Nicole's to snoop around. He says Charlie came over to Simpson's home, told him what was going on and Simpson responded, "Whatever is going on it's gotta stop!" Unfortunately, Regan didn't ask Simpson what Charlie said was going on.

Simpson says, hypothetically, he and Charlie drove to Nicole's with a cap, gloves and a knife under the seat and parked in the alley. Simpson says he walked around the property and Ron Goldman appeared, saying he was at the restaurant where Nicole dined and was returning the sunglasses her mom left behind.

Simpson says he got angry at Ron -- presumably thinking he was there on a date with Nicole -- and started screaming at him. Nicole came out, things got heated, she told O.J. to get the f*** off her property, and then he says Nicole fell and hurt herself. In fact, he swung the knife at her and hit her in the face with the blunt end.

Now the confession ... Simpson loses the hypo and starts talking very clearly -- undeniably -- in first person, saying Ron got in a karate stance, O.J. responded, "You think you can kick my ass?" and then he says, "I remember I grabbed the knife." O.J. eventually checks himself when he realizes he's talking in first person and actually starts laughing ... seriously. Check out the video for the rest.

By the way ... he also acknowledges dropping a glove on the property, which totally blows up the theory cops planted a glove.

Case closed.

She was boozin'. He was smokin'. These two live a helluva life.

Bobby Brown Offers to Help Nick Gordon's GF ... I Won't Let Him Kill Again!!

Published | Updated

Bobby Brown says he's willing to do whatever it takes to make sure Nick Gordon's girlfriend doesn't suffer the same fate as Bobbi Kristina.

Bobby -- through his attorney Christopher Brown -- says he'd like to personally lend a helping hand to Laura Leal, and offer her services through the Bobbi Kristina Brown Serenity House. Bobby says, "Domestic violence killed my daughter ... I do not want to see any more families destroyed at the hands of domestic violence and I do not want any more women to suffer like my daughter did."

The offer comes a day after Gordon's arrest for domestic violence. As we reported ... Leal told cops he struck her several times after picking him up from a bar. Cops noticed visible marks and arrested Gordon.

As you know ... Gordon was under scrutiny in connection with Bobbi Kristina's death in 2015. There were allegations of domestic violence before she was found dead. He was eventually found liable for her death in the wrongful death lawsuit filed by Bobbi Kristina's estate, and owes the family $36 million.

Page Kennedy Arrested For Felony Domestic Violence

Published | Updated

A rep for Page says, "Authorities intervened in a private matter against the wishes of both parties, resulting in the arrest." He adds it was an isolated incident, and Page and the woman will address it privately "as a couple moving forward."

The rep denies there was any abuse.

"S.W.A.T." star Page Kennedy has been arrested for felony domestic violence ... TMZ has learned.

The 41-year-old actor, whose credits include "Bones" and "Cold Case," was allegedly in a fight at his home Saturday night with a woman. Law enforcement tells TMZ the verbal argument turned physical and someone called 911.

When cops arrived they discovered the alleged victim had minor injuries, and that was enough for cops to cuff Kennedy and take him to the station.

He was held on $50,000 bail. He was released Sunday.

Lil Wayne & Birdman Hug It Out In Miami Legal War Rages On

Published | Updated

Lil Wayne and Birdman accidentally reunited Sunday night in Miami, and despite the fact they're still warring in court, they seemed to be getting along like the good ol' days.

We're told the estranged Cash Money/Young Money partners arrived separately at LIV on Sunday. 2 Chainz got on stage at one point, and Weezy hopped up with him. Birdman kept a relatively low profile. Solange and Jason Derulo were also there in the crowd.

Wayne and Birdman eventually ran into each other and went in for the man hug.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

They've both said they're cool with each other on a personal level -- they also kicked it like this back in 2016 -- but Wayne's still suing Birdman for $51 million. Wayne's accused Birdman of withholding millions from him in their deal, and wants out of Cash Money.

Birdman, of course, is refusing to drop the "Carter V" album.

Kate Upton Declines Interview In Paul Marciano Sexual Assault Investigation

Published | Updated

Kate Upton has refused to be interviewed by a lawyer who was hired by the Special Committee of the Board Directors of Guess to investigate her claim Chief Creative Officer Paul Marciano sexually assaulted her.

Upton had said publicly she would cooperate with the Guess investigation, but then changed her position when she learned the law firm that was involved in the probe was Marciano's personal law firm. She called it "smoke and mirrors" and a "PR stunt to impress shareholders."

TMZ has learned the Special Committee hired Glaser Weil, a high-powered L.A. law firm that has no ties to Guess or Marciano, to conduct the investigation. Marciano's personal firm is now out of the picture.

Our sources say attorney Patty Glaser contacted Upton's lawyer and asked if Upton would now sit for an interview. We're told Upton's lawyer said his client would not do the interview with Glaser because some of the information in the probe was already gathered by Marciano's law firm, so the investigation was tainted.

We're told Glaser assured the lawyer she was the only one in charge of the investigation, she had no preconceptions and wanted to be fair to both sides. Her lawyer didn't budge ... at least not so far.

Upton has claimed Marciano grabbed her breasts and forcibly kissed her neck and face, among other things, during a photo shoot in 2010.

Marciano is currently on hiatus from Guess after a number of other women lodged complaints.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Shades Elon Musk Shoot for Model 3s, Then Mars!!!

GET IT TOGETHER, MUSK!

Arnold Schwarzenegger is wondering what the rest of the world is wondering -- what's taking Elon Musk so long to get that Model 3 going?!

We got Arnold at SXSW in Austin (yup, we're everywhere) and our guy wanted to know if Arnold would ever volunteer for Elon's Mars trip. Arnold quickly fired back and went after Elon's Model 3. For the uninitiated ... the electric sedan -- with a base price of just $35k -- has been Elon's master plan to bring an affordable car to the electric vehicle market. But Tesla's struggled to produce the sought-after car with yet another production halt.

What's more ... Elon's missed nearly every goal and his target of producing 5,000 Model 3s per week has been pushed back to June. But it sounds like Arnold's ready to help. We think.
