Coachella

One member of the Lohan family caused serious problems at Coachella this weekend -- garnering noise and smoking complaints at a Palm Springs hotel -- but it wasn't the Lohan you'd expect ...

Sources tell TMZ, 24-year-old Michael Lohan Jr. was staying at the Hyatt Grand Champions Resort in Indian Wells, CA -- and around 3AM Friday morning, the hotel received a noise complaint about his room.

We're told hotel management paid a visit to Michael's room after the complaint -- and the party inside agreed to keep the volume down.

But it didn't end there -- we're told someone then made a complaint about someone smoking in Michael's room ... and hotel management was forced to pay the room ANOTHER visit.

We're told management informed the room's occupants it was non-smoking only -- and the smoker put out his cigarette.

We're told the hotel did not assess Michael a smoking fee.

MiLo Jr. tells TMZ, “I drove from LA to the desert at 1am and went to sleep within 20 minutes of arriving ... Others went to another room where a noise complaint may have been filed. Never were we involved in a complaint nor do either of us smoke cigarettes."

Tupac's famously protective mother Afeni Shakur agrees with the rest of the planet -- the rapper's resurrection at Coachella this weekend ... in the form of an incredibly lifelike hologram ... was mind-blowingly awesome.

A rep for Afeni tells TMZ, she was absolutely positively THRILLED with Tupac's virtual performance -- when he appeared alongside Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg during the headlining show at Coachella last night ... walking back and forth across the stage like he was actually present.

Afeni didn't attend the performance -- but we're told she watched it unfold live on the Internet ... but while it was thrilling, the entire experience was bittersweet.

The rep says Dr. Dre asked Afeni for approval to incorporate Pac into his performance -- and she said yes. As a thank you, we're told Dre made a donation to the rapper's charity ... The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation.

Tupac came back to life this weekend ... as a hologram ... and it was frickin' AMAZING!!!.

Pac was resurrected for the Coachella music festival in California ... and "performed" a couple of his greatest hits ... including "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" with Snoop Dogg.

We're told the crowd went INSANE ... especially when 2pac first appeared to the crowd ... rising up from the ground until he was standing on the stage.

The movements were remarkably lifelike ... grabbing his crotch and pointing his mic to the crowd like the good ole days.

At the end of his performance, a light shines on Pac ... and he dissipates into thin air.

Lindsay Lohan is telling friends she doesn't feel she did anything wrong by going to Coachella this weekend -- because the judge in her probation case told her to avoid clubs ... and Coachella doesn't qualify.

Our sources tell us, Lindsay feels she didn't thumb her nose at Judge Stephanie Sautner, because Coachella is really just a gigantic concert and she was just there for the music.

We're told Lindsay went to a few different events during the weekend and was very conscious lots of people were whispering about her -- specifically, that she was in the danger zone by even showing up. The way she feels ... she's gone to Coachella for the last 4 or 5 years so she didn't think this year was a big deal.

Lindsay insists she didn't have a drop of alcohol during the weekend -- she feels she can control herself, even in a situation filled with temptation.

Lindsay is currently under investigation for allegedly assaulting a woman at a hotel bar, but Lindsay claims she wasn't even out that night.

Lindsay Lohan has clearly discounted/ignored the advice of Judge Stephanie Sautner who urged her to stay away from the club scene, because she was front and center at hard-partying Coachella this weekend.

She was there with a dude, didn't drink as far as we can tell, but nonetheless the temptations at the music festival are endless.

On the upside, she looked good.

Nate Dogg isn't letting a little thing like death keep him away from Coachella this weekend -- sources tell TMZ, the rapper will be making a very special guest appearance on stage ... in the form of a HOLOGRAM.

Sources tell us, Dr. Dre didn't want to leave Nate out of his Sunday performance -- so he's incorporating his old friend using hologram technology ... the same technology that broadcast Mariah Carey's image across Europe last year ... at 5 simultaneous concerts.

We're told an image of Nate will be projected onto the Coachella stage -- alongside Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Warren G, and Daz Dillinger -- to make it appear as though he's actually performing on stage.

According to sources, Nate will perform several songs.

The singer passed away last March -- just weeks before last year's Coachella festival.

Chappelle made a rare public appearance at the Coachella Music Festival in California this past weekend ... hanging out with his friend Erykah Badu during the Kanye West performance.

It was all during a performance by Duck Sauce on Sunday -- so the bill kinda makes sense.

And just for good measure ... check out Danny feeling it last year at Deadmau5. Awesome.

The Sexy Sax Man -- real name Sergio Flores -- was scheduled to perform at a roller skating event Saturday morning ... but Flores tells TMZ, he got bumped at the last second for MGMT's lead singer Andrew VanWyngarden ... who wanted to DJ a set.

Sergio tells us, he feels "completely blindsided by Coachella organizers" -- adding, they didn't even comp his ticket.

But Sergio didn't get TOTALLY rejected -- Flores tells us several fans tracked him down and chanted his name until he emerged from his tent that night. So the Sax Man broke 'em off a piece of George Michael's "Careless Whisper" ... and thank god ... we got the footage.
