Conor McGregor is NOT currently receiving treatment for substance abuse, despite Chael Sonnen suggesting otherwise ... 'cause a rep for the UFC superstar tells TMZ Sports he's not in rehab.

The American Gangster dropped the bombshell allegation on his "Good Guy/Bad Guy" show with Daniel Cormier on Monday ... calling BS on Conor's claim that an injury forced him to back out of his fight against Michael Chandler.

The two hosts were discussing how both Conor and Michael have a history of promoting alcohol products ... and while Chael didn't mention the former champ-champ's name directly, it's clear that's who he was talking about.

Tommy Richman's breakout hit "Million Dollar Baby" isn't winning over Funkmaster Flex -- one of NYC's biggest DJs and gatekeepers -- but, luckily, Tommy has more than one song, and holds no grudges!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the buzzing Virginia-born artist and his creative director Josh Belvedere Tuesday as they jetted off to Paris Fashion Week.

Tommy's become internationally known since 'MDB' blew up in April on Billboard and TikTok and tells us it's been a trip to witness the phenomenon -- even little kids love his track, as he points out!!!

Justin Timberlake isn't shying away from the spotlight following his DWI arrest -- in fact, he's stepping right into it later this week ... 'cause he's all set to perform in the Windy City.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... JT will, in fact, perform in Chicago starting Friday -- which kicks off two tour dates there in town that were previously scheduled. We're told Justin has every intention to hit the stage in Chi-Town for both Friday and Saturday's shows.

No word on whether Justin will address the DWI arrest -- directly or indirectly -- but at the very least, we're told his fans can expect their regularly scheduled programming from him.

Christina Ricci is unloading her Los Angeles area home -- and she's aiming to double her earnings with the price tag.

The actress listed her Woodland Hills, CA home Monday ... and if you have an extra couple million (and change) lying around, the property could be yours.

CR is asking for a cool $2.249 million for the crib -- and despite the steep ask, Christina's residence is certainly worth the Benjamins ... it's got all the bells and whistles of luxury.

Howie Mandel is setting the record straight on his wife's "tipsy" fall in Las Vegas, which left her in a pool of blood ... he says she wasn't drunk, she was just feeling the effects of some marijuana gummies!!!

The "America's Got Talent" judge joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and told us the real story behind his wife Terry's nasty spill in their hotel room at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas.

Howie's clearing the air here because he and his wife are upset some media outlets claimed she was drunk when she fell ... an inference after Howie told "Live With Kelly and Mark" his wife was "tipsy" after a night of too much partying.

Riley Strain's disappearance and subsequent death captured the nation's attention -- and now we finally know how he died ... as we've obtained his autopsy report.

According to the docs ... Riley's official cause of death is listed as drowning and ethanol intoxication -- with the manner cited as accidental. There's more info here as well ... including what his BAC was when his body was examined ... officials say a concentration of 0.228.

One other thing that his family might be interested in ... the autopsy report notes there was no evidence of significant trauma to his body. There were traces of THC found in his system as well.

Bill Belichick was grinning ear-to-ear the day he first met his now-girlfriend Jordon Hudson ... check out a photo TMZ Sports has obtained from their first encounter -- the ex-New England coach was clearly giddy.

The pic was taken at some point during a February 2021 flight -- after the future Hall of Famer had sat next to Hudson as they were both headed from the Boston area to Florida.

Our sources say at one point during the trip ... Belichick leaned in to inquire about some school work Hudson -- a college student at the time -- had been working on, and they hit it off.

FUBU's head honcho Daymond John says he's surprised to see there's a TV series based on his company that's in the works -- and according to him ... it doesn't have his blessing.

TMZ Hip Hop linked up with Daymond Monday in Bev Hills -- this on the heels of the announcement that Radar Pictures and For Us By Us Studios are teaming up to bring FUBU's origin story to the small screen.

Thing is ... Daymond tells us he was never approached about this -- and says it's actually his story to tell ... writing off the announcement as clickbait, and not viewing it as authentic.

Alec Baldwin was super sloppy with firearms on the "Rust" movie set before the infamous fatal shooting ... at least that's what prosecutors are claiming ahead of his trial.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors in New Mexico say they intend to introduce evidence Alec was negligent with a firearm on set even before cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed with a gun Alec was holding.

The prosecution claims at one point during filming, Alec recklessly pointed and fired a blank round at a crew member while using the crew member as a line of sight.

9:03 AM PT -- TMZ has obtained the police report tied to Justin Timberlake's arrest -- and the cops spell out exactly what they say they saw while Justin was on the road. Per the doc, Sag Harbor police say they first spotted Justin after he blew past a stop sign a little more than half a mile away from the American Hotel ... where he left a get-together with friends.

Cops say that's when they started following Justin ... at which point they claim he failed to stay in a straight line on the road -- tailing him for about another half mile before they finally hit the lights. Justin was eventually pulled over at an intersection -- which is in a residential area, mind you -- and at that point, cops say they suspected he was under the influence.

The signs that cops cite for their determination ... bloodshot/glassy eyes, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath, unable to divide attention, slowed speech, unsteady afoot ... and cops go on to say he performed poorly on all field sobriety tests.

Looks like what happens in Vegas didn't quite stay there for Howie Mandel ... who spilled the beans on his wife's wild night out and the gruesome facial injury that followed.

Howie recounted this wild story Monday on "Live with Mark and Kelly" -- where he was chatting up the hosts and telling them about his wife Terry taking a tumble in their hotel room during a recent trip to Vegas.

Watch ... Howie says Terry ended up falling and smacking her face -- which resulted in her skull being exposed and blood pooling around her -- and he showed off photos of her injury.

Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs was accused of dragging the mother of his child down a set of stairs and injuring her before his arrest on Sunday, TMZ Sports has learned.

Tuscaloosa Police Dept. officers wrote in the docs the woman then claimed Buggs dragged her down the stairs ... causing her to break off several "clip-on toenails." They also state the woman had "scratch marks" on her wrist from the altercation.

Adele gave one young fan the experience of a lifetime, and we're not sure who was more excited about the moment ... Adele or the little girl dressed just like the singer.

The Grammy winner came across her mini-me during her Vegas residency Sunday night as she sang "When We Were Young," and she beamed as she stumbled upon the girl dressed in a tiny version of one of her iconic looks -- a black and white Schiaparelli couture gown designed by Daniel Roseberry.

In the video -- posted by the fan's mom, Alexandra Arguello -- Adele is seen making a beeline for the little girl and declaring, "I love your dress."

Jessica Biel spent Monday working on her new show in NYC ... hours before her hubby Justin Timberlake was booked in the Hamptons for driving under the influence.

The actress was photographed in NYC filming the TV adaptation of Alafair Burke's novel "The Better Sister," alongside Elizabeth Banks and Corey Stoll. Ironically, the new show is a crime thriller ... which perhaps now hits a little close to home following JT's arrest.

Jessica's set was not too far from where Justin's arrest occurred ... and this seems to explain what JT was even doing in town. As it turns out, his wife was working nearby.

Denzel Washington is reminiscing about his days working with Whitney Houston -- saying he saw past her tough exterior and felt a deep need to cushion her from life's harsh blows.

At the American Black Film Festival, host Chaz Ebert echoed Denzel's observation about the late star's vulnerability on the set of the 1996 comedy, "The Preacher's Wife." Denzel, surprised his need to protect Whitney was obvious for all to see, asked, "You really got that?"

As Chaz confirmed it was, Denzel nodded knowingly, "Well, of course" -- adding, "I always felt like I wanted to protect her. You know? She wanted to be so tough, but she really wasn't. That's all. Okay."
