Justin Bieber isn't ready to write off Conor McGregor just yet ... telling TMZ Sports when it comes to the UFC's violent attack, "We all make mistakes."

Bieber has been following McGregor's career for years -- and publicly supported him when Conor fought Nate Diaz back in 2016.

He even vouched for McGregor's toughness before Conor fought his old friend, Floyd Mayweather.

So, when we saw Biebs out in Beverly Hills following a gym workout with his crew, we had to ask if he was concerned for Conor moving forward.

"I think Conor will be fine," Justin says ... "We all make mistakes."

The big question now ... will Dana White be as forgiving as Bieber when it comes to Conor's future?

John Barrowman was fuming after claiming he tried to help out a homeless guy in a Target store and was disciplined by employees.

Barrowman was at the Target in West Hollywood Thursday when he claims a homeless man approached him asking John if he could buy an $8 t-shirt for him. John says he was happy to help and also picked up a grooming kit, $40 gift card and other items for the man.

The "Arrow" actor claims he was approached by store employees at checkout who told him it was illegal to purchase items for the homeless in their store. Furious, John left the store.

The man who allegedly smashed up Jaime King's car and shattered glass which struck her 4-year-old son has been hit with 4 charges for his violent rampage ... TMZ has learned.

According to new court docs ... 47-year-old Paul Francis Floyd's been charged with the crime of cruelty to child by endangering health -- a misdemeanor -- along with a felony count of vandalism for his destruction of King's 2016 Mercedes.

Floyd's also facing a misdemeanor battery charge, and a count of misdemeanor vandalism for damaging another man's 2017 Lexus during his mini reign of terror.

1:45 PM PT -- Brooke says their date of separation was January 23, 2018. She's requesting joint legal and physical custody of their children.

She lists irreconcilable differences as the cause of dissolution of marriage. She's leaving the spousal support for a future hearing.

Brooke Burke is calling it quits with former "Baywatch" star David Charvet ... TMZ has learned.

Brooke filed for divorce in L.A. County on Friday, pulling the plug on their nearly 7-year marriage.

The couple had 2 kids together -- a boy and a girl -- who are now 10 and 11 years old. Brooke also has 2 children from a previous relationship.

David and Brooke had an island wedding in St. Barts in August, 2011. The couple started dating in 2005 and got engaged in 2006, around the same time Brooke announced that she was pregnant.

They had some major stress in 2015 when they had a neighborhood war with 'Bachelor' creator Mike Fleiss that included a feud over the couple's German Shepherds.

Story developing ...

Conor McGregor will be allowed to board his jet and return back to Ireland as soon as he posts his $50,000 bail ... this according to his bail bondsman.

We spoke with Ira Judelson -- who's become the NYC bail bondsman to the stars (Ja Rule, Katt Williams, Lawrence Taylor) -- who tells us Conor's bail package is as follows:

Conor pays a $50k bond to be released on bail and must report to Ira once a week by phone, otherwise the court could take his passport.

Conor is allowed to travel but all travel must be pre-approved by Ira. No ankle bracelet. Conor gets to keep his passport.

The bail package is expected to become official when the arraignment begins in just a few minutes -- but the judge could always pull a last second audible ... so stay tuned.

Conor is facing several criminal charges including assault and felony criminal mischief for attacking a UFC bus at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Thursday.

If Dolly Parton and Sir Paul McCartney break bread ... who picks up the tab? Dolly actually gave us the answer!

We got the legend Thursday night on her way out of Crossroads Kitchen in L.A., and the first thing our camera guy asked her about was the big L -- LOVE! After all, she WILL always love you ... so she's kind of an expert in the field.

Second topic ... her fabulous dinner. We'd gotten word Sir Paul was inside, so we asked if they were together, and she said yes! Famed songwriter Linda Perry was with 'em too, and walked Dolly out to her car.

Cynthia Bailey's breathing a sigh of relief now that a mini-pumpkin looking tumor is out of her back and locked away in a container.

We got these shots of the Lipoma tumor recently removed from the 'RHOA' star's back. The tumor turned out, thankfully, to be benign -- it was deeply embedded, partially under a muscle. Doctors told her it was much larger than they expected.

For the squeamish ... the fatty tumor is the size of a golf ball. Think orange Silly Putty, but scarier.

Cynthia said she first felt a bump on her back near her left shoulder blade about 2 months ago, but thought nothing of it until it started growing.

The world-famous "Rocky III" statue just got a major upgrade courtesy of the city of Philadelphia ... and the real-life Rocky wasn't about to miss the ceremony!!

Sylvester Stallone, who's in town filming "Creed 2," says he stopped by the bronzen Balboa earlier today to help unveil a plaque made for the statue 12 YEARS ago ... but got "misplaced" somehow (we blame Drago).

Joining Sly at the ceremony was Philly Mayor Jim Kenney ... and a pack of screaming "Rocky" fans!!

"I want to thank the Mayor Jim (Kenney) and his staff, the Philadelphia Police Department and of course the loyal fans that braved the cold. Keep punching, Philly," Stallone said on social media.

Remember, there were only TWO versions of the famous Rocky statue made for "Rocky III" -- and Sly has the other one back at his L.A. home ... which he's been showing off to some of his famous friends.

Dana White is adamant the UFC had nothing to do with planning the Conor McGregor melee -- and slams theories it was all a publicity stunt gone sideways.

"I'm seeing tons of dummies out there saying this is something staged," White said on "TMZ Live" -- "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life."

White says he was horrified by McGregor's actions and says the whole thing is "just a disaster."

"I still can't believe it's real and that it actually happened."

White says he would NEVER put Conor or any of his fighters in a dangerous situation to sell a fight, and he's livid at McGregor.

Chris Brown went off on the valet parking attendant outside TAO Los Angeles, threatening to put hands on the guy for some reason.

Chris and a group of friends were leaving the hot spot Thursday night, when he got into an argument over the service charge. We don't know the numbers, but it's clear Chris thinks he's being rooked because he says, "I should knock you out."

CB, standing inches from the guy's face, says the only reason he isn't throwing down is because there are too many cameras around. He eventually forks over some dough, but also issues a final threat.

As Chris put it ... there's gonna be a sequel between himself and the valet.

Conor McGregor was just escorted out of an NYPD precinct in Brooklyn -- wearing handcuffs ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

McGregor was arrested late Thursday night for attacking a UFC bus with a dolly -- shattering a window and injuring multiple people, including UFC fighters Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg.

He was arrested for misdemeanor assault and felony criminal mischief and spent the night in the precinct.

McGregor is NOT being released -- he's being transported to court where he will be arraigned.

Also, McGregor's mug shot has now gone public.

Dana White previously told us McGregor is in a ton of trouble ... and outside of the criminal case, he'll likely be sued by several people involved in the incident.

White also told us his fighting future is in jeopardy ... but would not say if the UFC will cut ties with Conor going forward.

Cardi B and her wardrobe choices are inching closer to letting the cat out of the bag about her pregnancy.

She showed up for her "Invasion of Privacy" album release party Thursday night in NYC rocking a very open jacket, albeit a loose fitting one -- and, in the process, gave photogs the first glimpse of her baby bump.

Cardi's still opting to SAY nothing about the baby B she and Offset are expecting ... so, maybe she's just gonna let pictures tell the story. She's the music act on 'SNL' this weekend, and even the promo's screaming BABY ON BOARD.

It's possible she's gonna make the announcement during 'SNL,' after all, even if the camera angles are from the waist up ... everyone in the audience will be able to see what Cardi's got going on.

The Duffer Brothers have a smoking gun to prove they didn't rip off "Stranger Things" ... TMZ has learned.

The brothers are being sued by Charlie Kessler, who produced a short film back in 2012 called "Montauk." He claims he had a meeting with the Duffers in 2014 where he pitched them a series based on the short film. He says he never heard back, but was shocked when "Stranger Things" debuted in 2016, using his script idea and story.

TMZ has obtained emails showing the Duffer Brothers were developing a "Montauk" series as far back as November, 2010 -- 3 1/2 years before Kessler claims he even pitched the show to them.

In 2 emails in November, 2010, the brothers set out their vision ... a "real," "paranormal" "gritty eighties" show. In one of the emails, it specifically says the show is set in Montauk. There is a reference to "the Montauk experiments."

A Google document dated October, 4, 2013, would become the premise for "Stranger Things" ... "Benny (renamed Will for the show) leaves his friend Elliot's house, a bunch of kids are there, eating pizza, dungeons and dragons ... Benny leaves on bike, hears voices, goes into strange world, taken by some evil force."

Two emails from 2014 -- February 27 and April 4 -- both written before the alleged meeting between the Duffer brothers and Kessler, lay out the vision for the show. It reads, "...set in 1980s Long Island" with "a vintage Stephen King feel." The April 4 email mentions a location scout in Montauk.

The lawyer for the Duffer Brothers tells TMZ, "These documents prove that Mr. Kessler had absolutely nothing to do with the creation of 'Stranger Things.' The Duffer Brothers were developing their project years before he claims to have met them."

Chris Brown can sympathize with Conor McGregor -- telling us when it comes to his crazy bus attack, "We all get crazy sometimes."

Brown would know ... especially when it comes to smashing glass -- the singer famously hulked out and threw a chair through a window at "Good Morning America" back in 2011.

Chris was on probation at the time of the window-smashing incident stemming from another violent outburst -- the 2009 domestic violence incident with Rihanna.

As for Conor, he was arrested Thursday night in NYC for the bus attack which injured several people including UFC fighters and at least one executive.

Conor McGregor just surrendered to authorities in connection with the bus attack at Barclays Center ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported, cops wanted to speak with Conor after he threw a dolly into a bus which was carrying several UFC fighters and staffers. Multiple people were injured in the attack -- including fighter Michael Chiesa ... who was hospitalized with lacerations to the face.

Sources tell us Conor has been charged with 3 counts of misdemeanor assault and one count of felony criminal mischief.

We're told one assault charge is for the injuries to Chiesa's face ... and another for allegedly punching someone in the face several times.

We're told the criminal mischief charge is for the damages to the bus, which amounts to approximately $8,000.

TMZ Sports obtained video showing Conor attacking the bus -- so he really has no defense.

Dana White previously told us McGregor is in a ton of trouble and outside of the criminal case, he'll likely be sued by several people involved in the incident.

"This is Us" star Justin Hartley's reeling from the loss of his dog ... but it's his second pooch he's even more concerned about.

We got Justin out in Studio City on Thursday and our guy offered his condolences after the passing of Memphis ... the 11-year-old rescue Justin and his wife, Chrishell, adopted in December 2016. Chrishell said Memphis died earlier this week after his kidneys gave out.

Justin says it's been a tough few days but watch the vid to find out why he's also worried for his second rescue, Gracie. And for what it's worth ... he's also kinda concerned about our guy running into trees.
