Chris Young is accused of starting a fight with a Tennessee bureaucrat in a bar -- but now, new video appears to show he didn't do much of anything at all ... or so it seems, anyway.

You'll recall ... the country singer was arrested earlier this week after law enforcement officials alleged he got physical with an agent from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission out in Nashville Monday night -- this after they came in to check IDs and driver's licenses.

The arrest affidavit claims Chris blocked the TABC agents from exiting the bar they were at -- alleging he then put hands on one of them ... and even claiming he struck one of their shoulders. That resulted in some sort of scuffle ... and with Chris being booked.

He's facing charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault on an officer -- but with this new video here ... many are questioning whether Chris did anything whatsoever.

Chris' attorney has been decrying the charges, insisting these clips of the incident -- which are making the rounds online and elsewhere -- make it crystal clear ... he's innocent.

His client has a court date later in February to answer for these charges ... but Chris' lawyer is pushing to have them dropped outright, and based on what's depicted here -- he might have a point. It certainly looks like Chris didn't start any fight ... the other dude did.

Cameron Dicker The Kicker looked more like Cameron Dicker The Chugger on Sunday night ... 'cause the Chargers star ripped off his shirt and gulped down an entire beer in seconds while at the Ducks game!!

The 23-year-old -- who made 94 percent of his field goal attempts for LA this season -- made the trek down to Anaheim to catch the Ducks' tilt against the Rangers ... and it didn't take long for him to send the crowd into a frenzy.

While appearing on the Honda Center's jumbotron in the second period ... he ditched his top and sucked down all of his suds while his buds joined in.

After he finished the beverage, he held up his jersey and fired up everyone in attendance.

Unfortunately for Dicker and the Ducks, the home team wasn't able to use the burst of energy to pull out a win ... Anaheim went on to lose the game, 5-2.

But, Dicker had a blast regardless ... writing on his IG page that it was all "a great time."

La cantante de country Elle King —borracha—, desafinó en un concierto para celebrar el cumpleaños número 78 de Dolly Parton, olvidando la letra de una versión de la canción mientras maldecía.

King subió al escenario el viernes por la noche en el Grand Ole Opry después de haber bebido demasiado y fue grabada en varios videos estropeando su homenaje a Parton, mientras interpretaba el tema del icono de la música, "Marry Me".

Échale un vistazo a las imágenes subidas a TikTok, King está de pie frente a un micrófono mientras canta la canción, pero su voz comienza a quebrarse y se olvida de la letra.

King entonces confiesa que no sabe la letra, suplicándole a la multitud que no se lo diga a Parton, mientras dice groserías por el micrófono.

En un momento dado, King incluso se burló de los fans por comprar entradas para el espectáculo, explicando: "Ni siquiera voy a (groserías) mentir... ustedes compraron entradas para esto (groserías), no van a recuperar su dinero".

Un fan respondió gritando: "No lo quiero", lo que provocó que King respondiera: "Bien, porque no lo vas a conseguir".

Pero, King no había terminado todavía, añadiendo: "Te voy a decir una cosa más... hola, mi nombre es Elle King. Estoy (maldice), muy borracha".

Otro fan publicó una queja en X sobre King, diciendo que "arruinó la noche con su horrible, borracha y profana actuación", mientras afirmaba que "Parton se habría mortificado".

El Grand Ole Opry comentó el post, expresando que "lamentan profundamente y se disculpan por el lenguaje que se utilizó durante la segunda actuación del Opry de anoche".

Country singer Elle King drunkenly played off-key at a concert celebrating Dolly Parton's 78th Birthday, forgetting the words to a cover song while cursing up a storm.

King hit the stage Friday night at the Grand Ole Opry after admittedly having one too many drinks – and was caught on multiple videos botching her tribute to Parton, while performing the music icon's tune, "Marry Me."

Check out the footage uploaded to TikTok ... King stands at a mic as she belts out the track, but her voice starts cracking and she forgets the lyrics.

King then confesses she doesn't know the words, pleading with the crowd not to tell Parton as she peppers them with foul language.

At one point, King even mocked the fans for purchasing tickets to the show, explaining, "I'm not even gonna (curses) lie … y'all bought tickets for this (curses), you ain't getting your money back."

One fan shouted a response, "I don't want it," prompting King to reply, "Good, 'cause you ain't getting it."

But, King wasn't done yet, adding, "I'll tell you one thing more … hi, my name is Elle King. I'm (curses), hammered."

Another fan posted a complaint on X about King, saying she "ruined the night with her horrible, drunk, and profane performance," while claiming "Parton would have been mortified."

Grand Ole Opry commented on the post, expressing that they "deeply regret and apologize for the language that was used during last night’s second Opry performance."

So far, King and Parton have not publicly addressed the matter. But Parton's sister, Stella, weighed in on the controversy, calling King a "hillbilly."

Diddy and alcohol giant Diageo were ensnarled in a nasty legal battle last year -- but that's old news now ... 'cause TMZ can confirm both parties have buried the hatchet.

Both Diddy and Diageo tell TMZ simultaneously ... "Sean Combs and Diageo have now agreed to resolve all disputes between them. Mr. Combs has withdrawn all of his allegations about Diageo and will voluntarily dismiss his lawsuits against Diageo with prejudice."

The statement continues ... Diageo and Mr. Combs have no ongoing business relationship, either with respect to Cîroc vodka or DeLeón tequila, which Diageo now solely owns."

The Bad Boy music mogul sued the company last year -- accusing them of racism for allegedly neglecting his tequila line, DeLeón Tequila. Diddy claimed Diageo put this booze on the backburner, and alleged there were racist intentions behind it.

Diageo, of course, denied that ... and said they'd tried dealing with this behind closed doors -- but once Diddy opened the legal floodgates, they were ready to defend themselves.

This case has been playing out quietly behind the scenes, but now ... it's suddenly over. Diddy's withdrawing his lawsuit against Diageo -- and while there's no mention of it explicitly ... this certainly smells like a settlement of some sort.

Diddy y el gigante del alcohol Diageo se vieron envueltos en una desagradable batalla legal el año pasado, pero eso ya es parte del pasado porque TMZ puede confirmar que ambas partes han decidido enterrar la pelea.

Tanto Diddy como Diageo le dicen a TMZ simultáneamente: "Sean Combs y Diageo han acordado resolver todas las disputas entre ellos. El Sr. Combs ha retirado todas sus acusaciones sobre Diageo y desestimará voluntariamente sus demandas con prejuicio".

El comunicado continúa: "Diageo y el Sr. Combs no tienen ninguna relación comercial en curso, ni con respecto al vodka Cîroc ni al tequila DeLeón, que ahora Diageo posee exclusivamente".

El magnate de la música Bad Boy demandó a la empresa el año pasado, tras acusarla de racismo por descuidar supuestamente su línea de tequila, DeLeón. Diddy afirmó que Diageo dejó la bebida de lado y alegó que había intenciones racistas detrás de ello.

Diageo, por supuesto, lo negó y dijo que habían tratado de hacer frente a esto a puertas cerradas, pero una vez que Diddy abrió las compuertas legales, estaban dispuestos a defenderse de vuelta.

Este caso se había estado desarrollando en silencio entre bastidores y ahora repentinamente se acabó. Diddy ha retirado su demanda contra Diageo y aunque no se menciona explícitamente, esto sin duda huele a un acuerdo de algún tipo.

Criss Angel realizó el acto de desaparición perfecta durante su último show, la desaparición de un hombre problemático causando disturbios.

Los testigos le dicen a TMZ que el mago estaba realizando su show "MINDFREAK" la semana pasada en Las Vegas Planet Hollywood, cuando un hombre en la segunda fila comenzó a causar problemas y su comportamiento solo empeoró a medida que el espectáculo continuó.

Según un informe de la policía obtenido por TMZ, al hombre, Brandon McDonald, se le pidió que guardara su teléfono, pero no lo hizo. Intercambiaron palabras y luego las cosas finalmente escalaron con McDonald supuestamente lanzando puñetazos.

Los testigos nos dicen que a partir de ahí se desató el infierno cuando los de seguridad vinieron a sacar al hombre. A continuación se produjo una refriega y otro asistente fue agredido.

Nos dicen que fue solo cuando McDonald trató de agarrar a un guardia de seguridad por detrás que Criss intervino para someterlo, ayudando a la seguridad en la escolta McDonald fuera del teatro.

Cuando llegó la Policía Metropolitana, McDonald fue arrestado por agresión.

Criss Angel pulled off the perfect vanishing act during his recent show ... the disappearance of a belligerent man causing a disturbance.

Witnesses tell TMZ the magician was performing at his show "MINDFREAK" last week in Vegas' Planet Hollywood ... when a man in the second row of the audience started to cause a scene ... and his behavior only worsened as the show continued.

According to a police report, obtained by TMZ, the man, Brandon McDonald, was asked to put his phone away but wouldn't comply. Words were exchanged and then things eventually escalated to McDonald allegedly throwing punches.

Witnesses tell us from there all hell broke loose as security came to remove the man. A scuffle ensued and another ticketholder was assaulted.

We're told it was only when McDonald tried to grab one security guard from behind that Criss stepped in to subdue him ... assisting security in escorting McDonald out of the theater.

When Metropolitan Police arrived, McDonald was arrested for battery.

Forest Whitaker's ex-wife, Keisha Nash Whitaker, died from alcoholic liver disease ... TMZ has learned.

We obtained Keisha's certificate of death -- issued by L.A. County -- and the document says Keisha suffered from the disease for years before it ultimately killed her.

The certificate also says acute renal failure -- a symptom of anorexia -- was another significant factor contributing to her death.

TMZ broke the story ... Keisha died last month, and the death certificate shows she was at Northridge Hospital Medical Center in L.A. County when she passed.

Keisha was married to Forest for more than 20 years before he filed for divorce in 2018 ... and they had 3 daughters together.

She worked in Hollywood as a model, and her death certificate makes note of her career ... saying she worked 15 years in the modeling industry.

Keisha met Forest on the set of the 1994 film, "Blown Away," and the couple tied the knot years later ... in 1996.

She was only 51 at the time of her death.

La exesposa de Forest Whitaker, Keisha Nash Whitaker, murió de una enfermedad hepática alcohólica ... TMZ ha averiguado.

Obtuvimos el certificado de defunción de Keisha, emitido por el Condado de Los Ángeles, y el documento dice que Keisha sufrió de la enfermedad durante años antes de morir.

El certificado también dice que la insuficiencia renal aguda, un síntoma de la anorexia, fue otro factor importante que contribuyó a su muerte.

TMZ dio a la noticia, Keisha murió el mes pasado y el certificado de defunción muestra que estaba en Northridge Hospital Medical Center en el condado de Los Ángeles cuando falleció.

Keisha estuvo casada con Forest durante más de 20 años antes de que él solicitara el divorcio en 2018. Tuvieron 3 hijas juntos.

Trabajó en Hollywood como modelo y su certificado de defunción toma nota de su carrera, diciendo que trabajó 15 años en la industria del modelaje.

Keisha conoció a Forest en el rodaje de la película de 1994 "Blown Away" y la pareja se casó años más tarde en 1996.

Solo tenía 51 años cuando falleció.

John Mayer destroyed Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen on CNN's New Year's Eve show ... turning them into laughing hyenas as cat butts populated his side of the screen!

John joined the 2 best friends on the broadcast from a cat cafe in Tokyo. JM never made clear why alcohol mixes with felines, but even if he did it would not have made a difference.

Anderson couldn't hold it together, as John used his deadpan humor at the Cats in the Box Cafe to render the 2 hosts unable to carry on a convo.

Maybe part of the reason is that CNN seems to have changed its "no drinking" policy because the 2 ACs were taking some pretty serious shots every hour.

David Njoku helped the Browns clinch a playoff berth on the field on Thursday night ... and then he helped Cleveland's fans celebrate off of it -- shooting booze with Dawg Pound supporters in a parking lot!!!

The star tight end was seen performing the awesome gesture just minutes after Cleveland's 37-20 victory over the Jets.

In video from the scene, you can see Njoku -- who had 134 receiving yards in the "TNF" victory -- grab a shot glass, surround himself with fans and give a little toast before he throws the drink back.

The 27-year-old, though, had already gotten the party started well before he met the supporters outside Cleveland Browns Stadium ... he was spotted on the TV broadcast chugging a beer when he jumped into the stands following the dub.

Of course, it's great to see Njoku in good spirits ... because, remember, the former first-round pick nearly lost his eyesight in a terrifying fire accident on Sept. 29th.

Dwayne Johnson NO es el virgen de In-N-Out Burger que dice ser.

"The Rock" publicó un divertido video a principios de esta semana afirmando que estaba probando In-N-Out Burger por primera vez. El clip generó mucha atención y resultó ser buena publicidad para la cadena.

Mientras disfrutamos de la producción de Dwayne y su entusiasmo por las hamburguesas In-N-Out, las patatas fritas, el proceso de drive-thru sin problemas y sus amables empleados, nos dimos cuenta de que ha hecho esto mismo antes.

De hecho, esta es la TERCERA vez que Dwayne menciona ir a In-N-Out por primera vez.

Curiosamente, Dwayne publicó un video en Instagram en agosto de 2022 documentando una comida de In-N-Out Double-Doubles, patatas fritas y su propia marca de tequila.

Por supuesto, Dwayne mezcló tequilas reposado y blanco en el mismo vaso para lavar su In-N-Out el año pasado, así que tal vez se olvidó de todo el asunto.

Pero luego está el hecho de que The Rock también publicó sobre su "primera" experiencia en In-N-Out en 2017, esa vez fue solo una selfie con un par de empleados de In-N-Out en la ventanilla de autoservicio.

En su publicación de febrero de 2017, Dwayne añadió un largo pie de foto explicando que su esposa y su hija querían In-N-Out. También prometió "destruir múltiples hamburguesas" si su película "Moana" ganaba un Oscar unos días después... bueno, la película no lo consiguió.

Así que Dwayne ha estado en In-N-Out y ha probado la comida antes de afirmar esta semana que estaba teniendo su "primera experiencia" en la popular cadena.

Anthony Bourdain dijo una vez que conseguiría más likes en las publicaciones de IG sobre In-N-Out que en las fotos con grandes celebridades y parece que Dwayne también quiere algo de eso.

Dwayne Johnson is NOT the In-N-Out Burger virgin he claims to be.

"The Rock" posted a fun video earlier this week claiming he was trying In-N-Out Burger for the first time ... leading to a lot of attention, headlines and pats on the back.

While we enjoyed Dwayne's production and his zest for In-N-Out hamburgers, fries, the smooth drive-thru process and their friendly employees ... we noticed he's done this same thing before.

In fact, this is the THIRD time Dwayne's mentioned going to In-N-Out for the first time.

Funnily enough, Dwayne posted a video on Instagram in August 2022 documenting a cheat meal of In-N-Out Double-Doubles, fries and his own brand of tequila.

Of course, Dwayne mixed reposado and blanco tequilas in the same glass to wash down his In-N-Out last year ... so maybe he forgot about the whole thing.

But then there's the fact The Rock also posted about his "first" In-N-Out experience back in 2017 ... that time it was just a selfie with a couple In-N-Out employees at the drive-thru window.

In his February 2017 post, Dwayne added a long caption explaining his wife and daughter wanted In-N-Out. He also promised to "destroy multiple burgers" should his "Moana" movie win an Oscar a few days later ... well, the movie came up empty.

So, Dwayne's at least been to In-N-Out and tried the food before claiming this week he was having his "first ever" experience at the popular chain.

Anthony Bourdain once said he would get more likes on IG posts about In-N-Out than pics with huge celebs ... and it seems Dwayne's wanting some of that engagement too.

Colin Burgess -- the original drummer for AC/DC -- has died, this according to the heavy metal band's Facebook page.

In a statement posted Friday night, the iconic group wrote, "Very sad to hear of the passing of Colin Burgess. He was our first drummer and a very respected musician. Happy memories, rock in peace Colin." His cause of death was not disclosed.

In 1973, Burgess became a member of AC/DC with sibling guitarists Angus and Malcolm Young, singer Dave Evans and bassist Larry Van Kriedt.

Burgess didn't last very long after AC/DC cut their first hit, "Can I Sit Next to You Girl" and played their first gig at Chequers nightclub in Sydney, Australia.

Within a year, Burgess was given the boot after the band accused him of getting wasted on stage during a 1974 performance. The drummer tried to save his job by claiming someone had spiked his drink, but his excuse fell on deaf ears.

AC/DC replaced him with a number of other drummers, including longtime member Phil Rudd. The group even re-recorded "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" with Rudd on drums.

Burgess also played drums in a popular Australian rock band called The Masters Apprentices between 1968 to 1972. In 1988, he and the other members of the group were inducted into Australia's ARIA Hall Of Fame.

Burgess was 77.

Colin Burgess, el baterista original de AC/DC, ha muerto, según informa la página oficial de Facebook de la banda de heavy metal.

En un comunicado publicado el viernes por la noche, el emblemático grupo escribió: "Estamos muy triste por el fallecimiento de Colin Burgess. Fue nuestro primer baterista y un músico muy respetado. Felices recuerdos, rockea en paz Colin". Su causa de muerte no fue revelada.

En 1973, Burgess se convirtió en miembro de AC/DC junto a sus hermanos guitarristas Angus y Malcolm Young, el cantante Dave Evans y el bajista Larry Van Kriedt.

Burgess no duró mucho después de que AC/DC grabara su primer éxito, "Can I Sit Next to You Girl" y diera su primer concierto en el club nocturno Chequers de Sydney en Australia.

Al cabo de un año, Burgess fue despedido después de que la banda lo acusara de emborracharse en el escenario durante una actuación en 1974. El baterista intentó salvar su puesto alegando que alguien le había echado algo en la bebida, pero su excusa no fue escuchada.

AC/DC lo sustituyó por otros bateristas, incluido Phil Rudd, miembro desde hacía mucho tiempo. El grupo incluso volvió a grabar "Can I Sit Next To You Girl" con Rudd en la batería.

Burgess también tocó la batería en una popular banda de rock australiana llamada The Masters Apprentices entre 1968 y 1972. En 1988, él y los demás miembros del grupo fueron incluidos en el ARIA Hall Of Fame de Australia.

Burgess tenía 77 años.
