Troubled "America's Next Top Model" alum Renee Alway SHAVED OFF HER HAIR before facing the judge in her burglary case -- in an effort to convince the judge she's a changed woman.

Alway -- who placed 3rd on ANTM during Season 8 -- appeared in a Palm Springs courtroom Thursday stemming from a 6-hour armed standoff with police last month.

Nothing really happened during the hearing ... except for the debut of Alway's new haircut.

So, why the extreme new 'do? Alway's sister tells TMZ ... the former model wants to "start over" and believes the first step is a radical new look ... hence the buzz job.

Plus, we're told ... Alway hated the way her hair looked in her mug shot, which probably made it easier to part ways with her mane.

FYI -- Alway's been arrested at least 4 times this year ... so, if she REALLY wants to fix her life, it's gonna take more than a haircut.

She's due back in court in August.

Ready to feel old? Here's the cast of "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" at some event in Germany today ... and they make Yoda look sprightly.

Hard to believe it's been 30 years since ROTJ was released in 1983.

FYI, from left to right, it's Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca), Warwick Davis (Wicket the Ewok), Ian McDiarmid (Emperor Palpatine), Anthony Daniels (C-3PO), and Mark Hamill (Darth Vader's whiny son).

Not pictured: Harrison Ford (Han Solo). Because he's too rich.

We know Shakira's hips don't lie, but her ass is another story -- because even though she put on a sexy g-string to hit the beach in Hawaii ... she kept her goods under wraps!

Why so cruel, Shakira? TMZ investigates!

Don't worry ... this fall doesn't appear to be alcohol-related -- just seems like Selena lost her footing on the way out of her car.

Luckily, a bodyguard was there doing the job he was hired to do -- protect her body -- and kept her from face-planting in the gutter.

Happy belated!

Beyonce was caught in a real-life EMERGENCY on stage at her concert last night when her hair got tangled up in a stage fan -- and the crew scrambled to free the singer, MID-SONG!!!!!

Queen B was performing "Halo" in Montreal when disaster struck ... but like the PRO that she is, Beyonce continued to sing during the incident, NEVER ONCE MISSING A SINGLE BEAT.

Eventually, a crew member with a pair of scissors cut Beyonce free ... and she sashayed away from the devil equipment.

After the show, Beyonce posted a poetic note to her fans explaining the situation ... saying, "I got snatched."

In the end, Beyonce kept her composure throughout the entire ordeal ... and she just might be the toughest performer on the planet.

We have some good news, and we have some bad news. The good news: Dave Chappelle's arms are still jacked as ****. The bad news: he still hasn't brought back "Chappelle's Show."

Dude's got great taste in clothes though -- he was out shopping at Barney's in Beverly Hills over the weekend.

Now bring back "Chappelle's Show."

Tina Turner became Mrs. Erwin Bach during a massive wedding ceremony in Switzerland this weekend ... but the bride wasn't dressed in white, she was lean and mean in green.

The 73-year-old singer had been shacking up with her 57-year-old beau for the past 27 years -- but finally decided to make it legal when he proposed to her in April. FYI -- Bach is a German music executive.

According to reports, 120 people attended the lakeside ceremony near Turner's home in Zurich -- including Oprah, David Bowie and Bryan Adams. The ceremony is said to have been "Buddhist-inspired."

As for Tina's dress, the emerald gold stunner was reportedly custom-designed by Giorgio Armani.

Bar Refaeli had some issues with her bikini riding a little too high up during a yacht trip off the coast of Spain this weekend.

Fortunately, she managed to fix the problem. Here's the proof:

Family members of "America's Next Top Model" finalist Renee Alway are deeply concerned the model's in too deep with drugs -- now they want to recruit the big guns to help, like Dr. Drew or Oprah.

TMZ broke the story ... Renee was arrested last month for attempted burglary -- after cops say she was hiding out in a Palm Springs home that wasn't hers. They also say she had a gun and charged her with possession of narcotics.

We spoke to Renee's sister who tells us ... Renee has a serious drug problem and can no longer take care of herself. She says she's homeless and the night she was arrested she was in "survival mode."

Renee's mother tells us ... the model's substance abuse has gotten so bad, they had to cut her off. "We stopped giving her money, which was feeding her drug problem."

Now the family just wants to see Renee get better, and say they need the best of the best to make that happen. Her sister says, "I am trying to find her some professional help. I would like to get her help from Dr. Drew, Dr. Phil or even Oprah."

Renee is currently behind bars at a correctional facility in Banning.

With San Diego's International Comic-Con in full swing there is one sultry participant that has delivered year after year with incredibly clever (and more importantly sexy) costumes for your viewing pleasure.

Geek out on some of Adrianne Curry's best looks from her convention closet.

It's a battle of the bronze!

Beauty queens and nudie pics go together like Farrah Abraham and porn ... the latest example, a photo of Miss Alabama flashing her giant knockers -- which is being shopped to the highest bidder.

Our sources tell us ... someone is hocking a pic of Madeline Mitchell, who repped Alabama in the 2011 Miss USA pageant. At the time she was known as the hot chick who was in a horrific car crash.

As for the pic -- we've seen it. It's a selfie and she's topless -- showing off her HUGE southern melons -- smiling from ear to ear. Her hoo ha is covered.

It's unclear how the seller got the pic ...or if there have been any offers.

"Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara threw on her whitest bikini in Greece this week ... and flashed a vertical smile to all of the locals.

Sofia seems to be on a butt-flashing kick these days ... as evidenced by this, this, this and this.

God, we love you.

It's a skinny tie showdown!

42-year-old "Mad Men" stud Jon Hamm (left) and 40-year-old "Argo" actor/director Ben Affleck (right) combined their man-machismo to pose together backstage at the 2013 ESPY Awards last night.

Like a spitting image of The Situation, Justin Bieber once again blew his top ... and flexed his abs HARD for some shirtless photos on a boat in Connecticut.

Complete with soggy sagging basketball shorts and Marky Mark inspired underwear, Bieber hung topside with his posse -- Including Little Za and Twist -- to soak in the sun.

Dude seems to be allergic to shirts these days -- he's been showing more skin than that guy from "Silence of the Lambs."

So ... when Andy Murray's girlfriend agreed to play the Wimbledon champ in a game of smash ball on the beach this week ... think she felt a tad bit inadequate?

26-year-old Murray and his 25-year-old GF Kim Sears celebrated his big Wimbledon victory with a beach trip to the Bahamas ... and the first order of business -- beach tennis.

Meanwhile, Andy's top Wimbledon opponent, Novak Djokovic, was last seen at a village in Serbia ... riding a tractor.

Murray wins. Again.
