Close, but no marijuana cigar -- cops pulled over Migos' tour bus in North Carolina, but the group members were NOT arrested ... instead 3 entourage members were nailed.

Police pulled over the bus Thursday night as it was leaving the Migos show in Boone, NC ... because concert security reported the smell of pot coming from the vehicle. No, duh.

Officers searched the bus and arrested one person, for felony possession of marijuana and misdemeanor possession of codeine. Two others were cited for marijuana, codeine and Xanax.

Total haul from the bust -- 26 ounces of codeine and Xanax, and just under a pound of weed. Looks like the codeine was in cough syrup, and marijuana was in cookie form ... as well as the more traditional giant sack.

Quavo and Takeoff went on their merry way after the stop. For some reason, Offset was not at the performance.

A Beyhive of dancers is about to descend upon Coachella next week -- the number has swelled from about a dozen to 100 ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us Beyonce has upped her game for her Coachella performance next weekend. Bey made the decision for a ten-fold increase just this week.

Our sources also say Bey has moved her rehearsals to a much larger studio. And, of course, all the new hires have signed non-disclosure agreements.

From what we're hearing, Beyonce feels the pressure for some shock and awe ... especially after canceling her festival gig last year due to her pregnancy. We're told her stage at Coachella will have all the fixings of an epic performance -- lights, visuals ... the works.

We broke the story ... Beyonce has been putting in 11-hour days rehearsing for the festival, with at least 7 security guards roaming the grounds to ensure a top-secret environment.

At this point, we're told not even her own execs at her record company know what's going on behind closed doors. So, if it's anticipation she's going for ... she's for sure got it.

Blac Chyna's tuning out the drama following her stroller clash at Six Flags ... with help from the audio company that still solidly has her back.

TUNES Audio will 100% continue working with BC, according to TUNES exec John Chase, and the reason is simple -- she's been a total professional in the workplace since promoting the product over the last year.

This, of course, is welcome news amid the fallout from her stroller fight.

TMZ broke the story ... the baby stroller company Momiie pulled the plug on its deal with Chyna just days after her skirmish at Six Flags. The fallout also triggered legal drama with Rob Kardashian.

Chyna ain't sweating it, though ... and maybe this is why -- Chase tells us TUNE Audio's business with BC's been so good they're working on a kids' TUNES headphone line.

Seth Green can breathe easy ... Jamie Foxx ain't licking his chops to deal Seth a beating for licking Katie Holmes' toes.

We got Seth at LAX on Thursday and asked him about his hilariously disturbing scene from his new flick, "Dear Dictator" ... in which he licks and sucks on Katie's toes. Seth plays her boss and in the scene he tells her his wife is basically boring in the bedroom.

We asked Seth if preparing for the scene required lots of alcohol -- NOT the kind you'd think -- and if there were many takes required. Sucking and licking toes can be ticklish ... from what we hear.

Cam Newton was involved in a collision with a dump truck in Atlanta on Thursday ... and TMZ Sports has a photo from the scene.

We're told the Carolina Panthers quarterback was driving his matte black Ferrari F12 (valued over $300,000) when the collision occurred around 4:00 PM local time.

Atlanta PD confirms the accident occurred but says neither party wanted to fill out a police report.

Unclear what caused the collision or who was at fault -- but calm down, Panthers fans, Newton appeared to be okay after the incident. In fact, he was seen walking the car around in his shorts and one of his funky hats.

FYI, Newton is from Atlanta and still lives there.

28-year-old Newton has been involved in car accidents in the past -- he overturned his car in North Carolina back in 2014. He was hospitalized with minor injuries and ended up being okay.

Cardi B's squad is rolling in super tight formation to make sure NO ONE gets the slightest glimpse of what must be a sizable baby bump by now.

We got Cardi Thursday evening outside the London Hotel in NYC, and it was almost like a military operation. She waited for 5 staffers to surround the door of her SUV before stepping a single foot outside.

Once she did, we asked her about the pregnancy and when she was planning to announce the big news. We know this ... it wasn't today, and her team's choreography is on point!

We got a clear shot of her face, but that's it.

TMZ broke the story ... Cardi will be almost 7 months pregnant when she hits the Coachella stage next weekend.

Dana White says Conor McGregor is in SERIOUS trouble following his violent bus attack in Brooklyn ... confidently telling TMZ Sports the UFC's biggest star is "going to jail."

We got Dana in NYC -- just hours after McGregor and his goon squad smashed up a bus filled with UFC 223 fighters at the Barclays Center.

The UFC prez told us he's "very disappointed and upset" with Conor's actions ... and is sure McGregor's punishment will go well beyond anything the UFC could throw at him.

"He's going to jail!!! People are gonna sue him. He's gonna have a bunch of civil lawsuits," White said.

Vivica A. Fox didn't take the high road when confronted by fur protesters at her book signing ... she took the holiest road.

The incident went down Wednesday night at Barnes & Noble in Tribeca where Vivica was signing copies of her book, "Everyday I'm Hustling." The video starts with protesters in full "Stop wearing fur" chants as Vivica patiently lets them do their thing.

Check it out ... Vivica at one point even says, "They're doing their thing." But then she dished it back with a good ol' "God bless you." Not once ... not twice ... not three times ... not four times -- well, just watch.

Judge Judy and CBS just won an enormous victory against an L.A. talent agency that sued the network claiming it conspired with the TV jurist to screw the agency out of profits.

An L.A. County Superior Court judge just ruled CBS' decision to pay Judy $47 mil a year was legit -- what she was worth.

Rebel Entertainment had a deal to get 5% of the profits from the show, but since 2010, CBS said the show was actually running in the red because it had to pay Judy an enormous salary. Rebel claimed it was a conspiracy between CBS and Judy to prevent the agency from getting any cut of profits. Rebel seemed to be saying Judy wasn't worth $47 mil.

The judge begged to differ, and it seems Judge Judy's deposition was a big factor. When Judy re-negotiated her deal, CBS tried to counter her demand but she made it clear there would be no real negotiation -- it was a take-it-or-leave-it offer, and CBS capitulated. The judge said Judy was worth it.

The judge noted Judy's show was a "resounding success" ... fact is, without her there would be no show.

Nas and Kelis are duking it out in court again ... and this time it involves a Jewish holiday.

Nas has filed legal docs asking a judge to penalize Kelis because she refused to turn over 8-year-old Knight ... she says it's because the kid wanted to stay with her during Passover. Nas says it was his weekend and the whole Passover thing doesn't make sense.

He says she's been difficult generally when it comes to getting Knight. He says once when he arrived at her house, she screamed at him telling him he couldn't take the child. Nas says Kelis has refused to let him pick up the child from school on several occasions.

He's asking for $22,000 for all the lawyers' bills he's had to pay when she's allegedly violated their custody agreement.

Here's video of UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock schoolin' Steve Aoki on the finer points of being a fighter -- like taking shots STRAIGHT TO THE BALL BAG.

The painful intro-to-MMA sesh went down at the UFC Performance Center in Vegas ... where Steve was filming a music video for his new EDM collab with Laidback Luke, "It's Time" (get the reference?).

Ken, who was playing Aoki's trainer, was slappin' abs on a core workout when he missed low ... and Steve immediately tapped out on account of the "electric shock across my whole groin."

"Instant stoppage right there," Shamrock said.

The full video -- ft. an Aoki vs. Luke DJ superfight and Octagon announcer Bruce Buffer -- drops on Friday ... but we got a sneak peek for all you candy kids.

Fun fact: Laidback's a WORLD CHAMPION Kung-Fu fighter ... so we hope Shamrock taught Steve some other MMA skills, too.

"Napoleon Dynamite" star Efren Ramirez says ICE and the Trump Administration are hanging an ex-gang member out to dry, and essentially signing the death warrant of the 19-year-old kid.

Efren is fired up about "Henry" ... the former MS-13 member whose story is now getting national attention. Quick backstory -- "Henry" fled El Salvador and sought asylum in the U.S. to escape his life in the international crime organization. He turned informant, in exchange for placement in witness protection -- but instead got tossed in a detention center, and is now scheduled to be deported.

Efren, who's of El Salvadorian descent, insists MS-13 will kill "Henry" as soon as he's sent back to El Salvador. As Efren sees it, "The fact he risked his life to give information that he knew, he was promised to be protected."

12:18 PM PT -- TMZ Sports now has video showing Conor picking up a dolly and smashing the side window of the bus.

We spoke with Dana White ... who tells us Michael Chiesa was "cut to pieces" in the attack and is currently hospitalized for his injuries. It's unclear if he will fight as planned at UFC 223.

White says Rose Namajunas was also on the bus and very shaken up after the incident -- telling us she almost broke her hand.

We asked Dana if he will fire Conor as a result of the incident and he told us, "This is bigger than us firing him."

TMZ Sports has obtained video of Conor McGregor and his entourage going BERSERK at the Barclays Center ... attacking a bus leaving the arena with several UFC fighters including Khabib Nurmagomedov.

An object was thrown through one of the bus windows -- and the damage left one fighter, UFC lightweight contender Michael Chiesa, cut up and bloodied.

Unclear who was responsible for shattering the side window but it's clear people on the bus suspect it's Conor.

A member of Conor's entourage then grabbed a chair and threw it at the front windshield of the bus. Conor grabbed a chair and tried to attack as well, but was restrained.

Fighters were at the arena doing media ahead of UFC 223 ... and McGregor was videotaped by several witnesses running around the arena before the incident.

Police sources tell us NYPD got a call for a fight at Barclays involving 25 males ... and EMS was called to the scene to treat injuries.

Unclear what may have triggered the incident, but Khabib did get into a heated confrontation with Conor's good friend and training partner, Artem Lobov, Tuesday at the UFC fighters' hotel in New York.

JWoww says Sammi Sweetheart's sex doll stand-in offered some good times for the 'Jersey Shore' cast ... but it sounds like she misses the real McCoy.

We spoke to Jenni 'JWoww' Farley Thursday ahead of the premiere of their reunion season on MTV, and she tells us Sammi REALLY should have joined her fellow guidos and guidettes for their comeback ... rather than be recast with plastic.

We broke the story ... 'Jersey Shore' producers replaced Sammi with a sex doll version of herself, which J says was done all in good fun ... maybe too much fun, actually. Sounds like that doll's been through some things. We'll let her explain.

Either way, JWoww says Sammi missed a huge opportunity to cash in on her "Jersey Shore" fame, even if she's in a "different place" now ... post Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, whom she dated during the OG run.

J seems to think folks should finish what they started, and that goes for Sammi, too -- who, btw, was apparently made aware of the sex doll gimmick. Maybe she'll reconsider for Season 2 ... which JWoww says is greenlit.
