Fairly Legal

Alec Baldwin's asking the court not to reconsider its dismissal of the New Mexico criminal case against him over the fatal 2021 "Rust" shooting ... saying the state's conduct was egregious.

The actor's lawyers -- Alex Spiro and Luke Nikas -- put in the motion asking the court to deny the prosecution's request to reconsider its decision to dismiss the case against Baldwin ... saying prosecutors have presented no new evidence as to why this case should move forward.

Baldwin's lawyers lay out the whole narrative of the trial as they see it ... saying the state's egregious misconduct in concealing certain ammunition evidence merited dismissal of the case -- and they urge the court to stand by that decision.

Consequence is having a hard time wrapping his head around Diddy actually having 3 hots and a cot inside his Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn -- a guy of his stature rarely ends up in a place like that!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the Queens MC in Bev Hills this week and he tells us flat-out that taunting and waging war against federal investigations is a big no-no in the streets.

We broke the story ... Diddy was denied bail twice amid the ongoing sex trafficking investigation -- and Cons gives the thumbs down to the alleged "Freak Off" crimes.

Diddy's persona non grata on the airwaves, it seems ... 'cause more radio stations have decided to keep his music off their air -- with the arrest proving a final straw for several of them.

TMZ has reached out to multiple radio corporations ... who tell us many stations have slowly banned Diddy's music, with some making the move after the video of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel surfaced.

Sources connected to radio platform Audacy tell us most of their stations pulled the few Diddy titles they were playing in late May/early June after the bombshell clip exploded.

12:07 PM PT -- The jury has just voted to sentence Carly Gregg to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the first-degree murder and attempted murder convictions and 10 years for evidence tampering. The judge says the sentences will run concurrently.

Carly appeared much more composed during sentencing ... no tears streaming down her face -- remaining calm while the judge explained the appeal process.

A jury has handed down their verdict in the murder trial of Carly Gregg, the 15-year-old charged with fatally gunning down her mother with a .357 Magnum in March.

Tekashi 6ix9ine has been slapped with a lawsuit from his ex-girlfriend, who claims the rapper subjected her to a long history of physical, sexual, emotional, and financial abuse ... and says when she broke up with him, he retaliated by posting explicit videos of her on social media.

TMZ has obtained the court docs ... in which reggaeton singer Jorgina Lulu Guillermo Diaz, professionally known as Yailin La Más Viral, alleges the rapper drugged her, abused her, and stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from her to fund his own luxury expenses.

Yailin also alleges Tekashi -- real name Daniel Hernandez -- manipulated, shamed, and coerced her to undergo unnecessary plastic surgery and other cosmetic procedures.

11:40 AM PT -- The NYPD tells TMZ ... the second suspect, a 17-year-old male, was arrested and charged on Thursday in Queens on 2 counts of first-degree criminal mischief and 1 count of first-degree reckless endangerment.

Two people are accused of going for an underground joy ride ... with police arresting one and searching for the other after they say the duo tried to operate a subway train -- but, ultimately crashed.

New video, released by the NYPD, shows two people -- a man and a woman -- in a dark subway car in Queens last week. The woman is wearing an all-pink outfit, complete with a pink shower cap. The man's in a blue tank top and red athletic shorts.

The video only shows the two walking through the car ... but, cops say they then tried to play conductor -- getting the subway to move about 50 feet before crashing it.

Diddy was placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center in NYC ... but he's not suicidal, at least according to his lawyer.

Diddy's attorney, Marc Agnifilo, tells TMZ ... the suicide watch directive issued by MDC officials was merely a routine measure for "new, high-profile inmates."

Agnifilo noted he spent 6 hours Thursday with Diddy at the federal lockup and the music mogul turned criminal defendant was "not at all suicidal." In fact, Agnifilo says, Diddy was "strong, healthy, confident and focused on his defense."

Josh Flagg isn't sold on Diddy's current listing for his Los Angeles-area home ... noting the mansion has a number of hurdles to overcome -- especially after the recent "Freak Offs" allegations.

We caught up with the "Million Dollar Listing" star on Melrose Place in Los Angeles, where he offered his professional real estate opinion on Diddy's Holmby Hills home -- which was listed for over $60 million earlier this month.

As Josh put it ... the listing price is far too high, suggesting $50 million would be a smarter price point for the manse.

Chris Brown and Lil Durk ripped off another artist's song for their collab "Till The Wheels Fall Off" ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

Breezy and Durk are being sued by music producer Micah Foster, who claims CB straight up jacked his track after Micah played it for Chris on a mixtape.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Foster claims Chris and Durk's "Till The Wheels Fall Off" copies the chorus, hook and arrangement for his similarly-titled song "Wheels Fall Off."

Maitland Ward says the now-infamous "Freak Off" parties the feds claim Diddy was orchestrating sound way more intense than group sex romps on porn sets.

The former "Boy Meets World" star, who now makes her living shooting X-rated content, tells TMZ ... she's never heard of anyone needing IV fluids while filming an orgy for an adult movie -- and those can go for half a day!

Maitland's referencing Diddy's federal indictment, in which prosecutors say Diddy's victims typically received IV fluids to recover from the physical exertion and drug use from the Freak Offs.

Carly Gregg, the 15-year-old girl accused of murdering her mother, is displaying some odd courtroom behavior ... getting a bad case of the giggles while sitting at the defense table.

Check it out ... the Mississippi teen was dressed in a conservative navy blue ensemble as her trial resumed Thursday. Her defense attorneys flanked her on both sides, donning serious expressions during the trial ... though, Carly seemed to get a kick out of the proceedings, as she fought back some laughter.

While it's unclear what exactly prompted Carly's giggles, the video shows her female lawyer writing something on a pad ... which appears to be what sparked the shocking response from the teen.

The investigation into Diddy is far from over ... with sources telling TMZ at least one person has been subpoenaed to testify in front of the grand jury -- and we're told others are open to cooperating with federal prosecutors.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... at least two new people plan to cooperate with the feds' ongoing investigation of Diddy and are willing to testify in front of the grand jury in the coming days.

We're told one of these people is a current sex worker ... who claims they were involved with Diddy back in 2014.

Sean "Diddy" Combs may be holding up okay at the moment behind bars, but concern for his well-being is warranted ... a celebrity prison coach tells TMZ.

John Fuller, a consultant known for his high-profile clients -- he prepared Martha Stewart for her stay in the can -- tells TMZ ... the rap mogul may not be suicidal in his early days locked up, but concern that Diddy's mental health might take a decline over time is valid ... especially if the trial ends up not going in his favor.

As Fuller put it ... Diddy is likely used to getting his way given his A-list status ... however, those days are over, at least for now -- and that may become complicated for him to process.

Method Man wants everyone attaching Diddy's downfall to the state of hip hop music to pump their brakes ... and stop trying to conflate the issues!!!

We caught up with Mr. Meth at ABC Studios in NYC this week, where he told us the correlation between Diddy and hip hop culture is completely lost on him!!!

As you're aware, Diddy was arrested and indicted on sex trafficking, kidnapping and racketeering charges earlier this week ... alleged actions by a world-famous rapper, but not a clear tie-in as far as Meth sees it.

Cassie was out and about in NYC, flashing her smile and soaking up the good vibes ... while her ex Diddy is stuck in a whole different reality -- lonely and behind bars in a notoriously grimy Brooklyn prison.

The singer looked at ease as she headed to the trendy hotspot "Left Bank" for an al fresco dinner Wednesday ... where the fun continued as she appeared to excitedly show her pals something on her phone at the dinner table.

While we can't say for sure, it’s a safe bet that Diddy came up in conversation at some point, especially since he was sensationally denied bail on the very same day.

Video from ex-Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias' September 2023 domestic violence incident has been released ... showing the World Series champion running toward his wife and slamming her into a fence after a soccer game.

The footage backs what TMZ Sports reported just days after Urias' arrest ... when law enforcement sources told us he came up from behind his partner, put his arm around her, forcefully pushed her into the barrier and pulled her hair.

The clip also shows Urias swinging in the woman's direction while bystanders tried to intervene ... although it is unclear if he landed the punch.
