Demi Lovato is doing a lot better and the plan is for her to get out of the hospital this week, but she's now faced with a decision ... go to rehab, or lose a lot of the people close to her.

Sources with firsthand knowledge tell TMZ, Demi has stabilized from her overdose -- an OD that was so bad she was in danger of dying -- and her team is making plans to send her to rehab. The decision is ultimately Demi's, and we're told the people closest to her, along with some of the people who work for her, are going to draw a line in the sand -- either go to a facility for help, or lose our number.

At least one key person who works for Demi tells TMZ, they will quit if she doesn't check herself in. As the source said, "She could die if she doesn't, and that's not going to be on my watch that we did nothing."

If the "you break it, you buy it" rule applies at this duty-free shop ... these guys can expect a VERY hefty bill coming their way.

This insane video captures the mayhem at the Paris Orly Airport as 2 rival French rappers and their respective entourages went AT IT ... with punches, kicks and expensive cosmetics flying everywhere.

At one point, a man is pummeled by at least 3 other guys before they let up

The beefing rappers -- Booba and Kaaris -- were reportedly arrested along with 9 other members of their crews. It's unclear how much damage they caused, but by the looks of it ... they better hope they sell a lot of records after this.

Ohio State has placed head football coach Urban Meyer on administrative leave in the wake of reports that he lied about having knowledge of a 2015 domestic violence allegation surrounding an OSU assistant coach.

OSU issued a statement saying, "The University is conducting an investigation into these allegations. During the inquiry, Urban Meyer will be on paid administrative leave."

"Ryan Day will serve as acting head football coach during the investigation. We are focused on supporting our players and on getting the truth as expeditiously as possible."

Meyer -- one of the highest paid coaches in college football -- also issued a statement saying, " [Athletic Director Gene Smith] and I agree that being on leave during this inquiry will facilitate its completion."

"This allows the team to conduct training camp with minimal distraction. I eagerly look forward to the resolution of this matter."

The man at the center of the domestic violence allegations is Zach Smith -- who was a wide receivers coach for the Buckeyes for years.

Smith was fired on July 23 after he was charged with criminal trespassing after dropping their children off at his ex-wife Courtney's home during a May 12 incident. The court granted a domestic violence protective order against him.

Smith's ex-wife -- the alleged victim -- claims she told Urban's wife about the alleged abuse, but Urban took no action and then lied about having knowledge of the situation when asked at Big Ten media day.

Courtney has alleged Zach had repeatedly abused her physically since 2009. She also produced text messages to college football reporter Brett McMurphy which show a conversation between Courtney and the wife of another OSU coach in which Courtney was assured Urban was addressing the issue with Zach.

All the [coaches'] wives knew," Smith told McMurphy. "They all did. Every single one."

"I do believe he knew and instead he chose to help the abuser and enable the abuser and believe whatever story Zach was telling everybody," Smith said.

Courtney also told laid out the allegations in an interview with media outlet Stadium.

Travis Scott removed a very famous trans model from his "Astroworld" album cover, and although she's publicly taking it in stride ... Travis is getting some backlash that hints at bigotry.

Amanda Lepore tells TMZ she was simply too good looking to make Travis' final cut, saying, "A girl can't help it! I'm too distracting for the eyes! I upstaged everyone in the photograph!" She adds ... "Oh well ... I love David LaChapelle and Travis Scott! Love and kisses."

Amanda's jokey answer echoes what artist LaChapelle said when asked why the final version differed from the one he shot. He's said Amanda "just upstaged every one" and that she "knows the T."

LaChapelle wanted to make it clear, though, that Travis' omission had "nothing to do with hating." What's odd is neither he nor Travis has seriously explained the edit -- and some people online are now accusing the rapper of being transphobic.

It took several months, but Bristol Palin has finally confirmed she and Dakota Meyer are no longer husband and wife ... and she's single.

TMZ broke the story in February ... the couple called it quits less than 2 years after their wedding and were no longer living together. We later found out Meyer filed the divorce docs January 29 in Texas.

But the newest 'Teen Mom' didn't make the news official until Wednesday, when she replied to a question on her Instagram Story about whether she was dating anyone with ... "freshly divorced & single forever lezzbereal (I am not ready to date)"

Bristol and Dakota were married in 2016 and have 2 daughters together. It's still unclear what arrangements have been made between the exes about child custody or support.

Common says if a stand-in for a movie or TV show requires makeup to match skin complexion with the actor ... the director better find a new stand-in.

We got the rapper/actor leaving Equinox Wednesday in WeHo, and he weighed in on the controversy involving the upcoming comedy "Good Boys." We broke the story ... a stand-in for child actor Keith L. Williams was on set in blackface. Common's NOT down with it.

He tells us it's never appropriate to go the blackface route, and doesn't buy the production company's claim it's standard practice to use makeup to match skin tones for lighting purposes. But, even if it is -- he says it's time to end it.

An actor who allegedly choked Paris Jackson and accused Seth Green of pedophilia is now the focus of a police investigation, on the heels of threatening a shootout with cops  ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge of the case tell us LAPD's Threat Management unit opened an investigation of Isaac Kappy on Friday ... for alleged harassment and stalking of Seth and his wife, Clare.

We're told Kappy has repeatedly accused Seth of pedophilia -- most recently in this rambling video he posted last month.

Additionally, we're told he allegedly grabbed Paris by the throat about a month ago during a game night party.

The final straw for police was a threatening tweet he posted last Wednesday. Kappy said, "In light of the interesting traffic happening around my house I want to make something CRYSTAL CLEAR: while I am a VERY strong advocate of peaceful disclosure, make no mistake, assets are in place and if you kill me or even try, it will rain .50 cals in the Hollywood Hills."

We're told the threat of a .50 caliber bullet shootout was enough for LAPD to open the case.

Before Draymond Green's alleged violent confrontation with Tristan Thompson ... the NBA star was partying with LeBron James and Kevin Durant and witnesses say he was in a great mood.

There are reports Draymond and his crew went from LeBron's Uninterrupted party at The Highlight Room to Delilah nightclub ... where Green approached Thompson and was struck in the face by the NBA star.

Some reports say Draymond was trying to apologize to Tristan for disrespecting him after the NBA Finals -- but TT was having nothing of it and had to be restrained.

Witnesses who saw Draymond and LeBron at The Highlight Room say the guys were hanging out and enjoying the evening ... no static, no tension.

We got video of Draymond and LeBron having a conversation before leaving for the next spot with KD -- but unclear what they were talking about.

Give Kelsey Grammer credit ... dude swings for the fences when it comes to live karaoke and, save for one particular note, he nailed it!!

Kelsey and a bunch of cast and crew members from his Netflix movie, "Like Father," hit up LONO in Hollywood for an after-party following Tuesday night's premiere. Seth Rogen -- who stars alongside Kelsey in the flick -- was also at the tiki bar, but the show belonged to Kelsey.

We're told Kelsey followed his wife onstage after she performed Dolly Parton's "Jolene" and brought the house down with his rendition of David Bowie's "Let's Dance." Watching Kelsey move to his own beat is a thing of beauty ... and even when his chops gave out, Kelsey kept going.

The NYPD is investigating J.R. Smith for allegedly stealing a cell phone from a fan and throwing into a construction site ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... they got a call around 2:30 AM on Sunday morning from a guy who says he tried to take a picture with the Cleveland Cavs star outside of The Park, a hot spot in Chelsea.

Smith allegedly turned the fan down -- telling him no photos -- but he snapped one anyway ... and Smith snapped too.

We're told ... Smith allegedly approached the fan and snatched the phone out of his hand and then launched it into a nearby construction zone. The fan claims his $800 phone was damaged and he has filed a report with police.

Smith has not been charged with a crime -- but we're told cops would like to speak with him asap.

We talked to J.R.'s attorney, Alex Spiro, who vehemently denies the allegations ... saying, "the claim is nonsense and we do not have anything to say about nonsense."

Richie Sambora is in an incredibly good mood despite some sad news in his love life -- and it might be because he's down to keep a working relationship with his now-ex.

We got the Bon Jovi guitarist Wednesday at LAX just a day after he and longtime GF Orianthi announced they were taking a break to focus on family and other endeavors. Richie echoed what he and O had already promised their loyal fan base ... we'll be back.

TMZ broke the story ... Richie and Orianthi issued a joint statement saying they were temporarily ending their 4-year relationship -- thanking fans for supporting their music act, RSO, and vowing to rekindle in the future for more tunes.

Gina Rodriguez is having herself one hell of a birthday week -- celebrating on the beach by packing on the PDA with her boyfriend ... or should we say fiance???

Nothing prudish about these shots of "Jane the Virgin" and Joe LoCicero frolicking Tuesday down in Tulum, Mexico. All this fun went down shortly after Gina posted shots of herself with a huge rock on her left ring finger -- so, they could be celebrating more than a bday.

Gina hasn't announced she and Joe are engaged ... yet, but she was still wearing the ring during their wet and wild makeout session. All signs suggest she said "yes."

Fun fact -- LoCicero is an actor too, best known for playing the role of Don Quixote Stripper on ... "Jane the Virgin."

Kim Kardashian West lashed out at Tyson Beckford, strongly insinuating he isn't into her because he's not into women ... this after he body shamed her.

A photo of Kim was posted on social media Tuesday and Tyson commented, "Sorry. I don't care for it personally," adding "She's not real, doctor f**ked up on her right hip."

Kim fired back, "Sis we all know why you don't care for it."

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what Kim's saying, people on social media are going nuts, some calling her homophobic.

The filmmakers behind an upcoming comedy used makeup to darken the face of a child actor's stand-in -- a la "blackface" -- but the film's production company says it's common practice.

Sources connected to the film, "Good Boys" -- produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg -- tell TMZ ... 11-year-old Keith L. Williams' stand-in was on set last week in Vancouver, and wearing dark brown makeup on his face.

We're told the stand-in was also rocking an afro wig and fitted in a fat suit. Williams was on a break at the time, but our sources say the sight of his stand-in was upsetting to at least one person on set.

Other sources connected to the production company, Good Universe, tell us it's "not uncommon for lighting purposes to match actors' skin tones" ... and they insist this is not a blackface situation.

We've spoken to others in the industry who say their experience is, rather than using makeup, casting directors typically make a point of hiring stand-ins who match the actors' complexions.

We're told "Good Boys" producers were aware someone had filed a complaint, and they were in the process of addressing the grievance.

For the record, we're told the stand-in is a light-skinned African-American kid.

Laurence Fishburne went on a late-night stroll down the Hollywood Walk of Fame ... but, don't worry, no fights broke out.

The legendary actor was outside Katsuya in Hollywood, looking pretty chill and especially comfortable in some casual toe shoes. Easy to see who's staying cool for the summer.

Laurence strolled past Susan Saint James and French actress Michèle Morgan's star ... which explains why it was pretty quiet on that stretch of the Walk of Fame. Not much controversy there.
