Fairly Legal

The Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York -- where music mogul Diddy is currently being held as he awaits his sex-trafficking trial -- was subjected to an "interagency operation" Monday ... feds confirm to TMZ. Investigators from several federal agencies arrived at the facility early this morning.

A spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons tells TMZ ... the operation at the federal jail is a collaboration between the FBOP, the U.S. Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General, and other law enforcement partners as part of "intensive efforts to improve conditions" at the controversial facility.

The rep said the agencies' "interagency operation" was "designed to achieve our shared goal of maintaining a safe environment for both our employees and the incarcerated individuals housed at MDC Brooklyn."

Diddy's kids are sticking together during this challenging time ... with his sons showing up to celebrate their sisters at a high school football game.

Christian Combs posted a clip to his Instagram Friday night ... showing the crowd cheering for the cheerleading squad receiving some sort of honor on the field.

The clip captured Christian hanging out with his big brother Quincy -- Kim Porter and Al B. Sure!'s son who Diddy legally adopted back in the day.

Zachery Ty Bryan has been arrested ... with cops booking the former "Home Improvement" star with DUI and driving without a license -- and, the whole interaction was caught on police cameras.

According to the arrest docs, the former child star was approached by Oklahoma police at approximately 6:47 AM on Friday ... when cops say they made contact with Bryan who was fast asleep in the back seat.

Officers say they spoke briefly to Bryan before leaving him be ... but, later saw him driving. At that point, cops say they conducted a traffic stop, pulling him over to the side of the road where he told the officer he was intoxicated.

10/25 -- 4:27 PM PT -- Leah Remini is one step closer to being officially single as a judge has signed off on her divorce from Angelo Pagán ... TMZ has learned.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ ... a judge put his John Hancock on Leah and Angelo's divorce filing Friday -- the former flames signed off on their settlement earlier this month.

Per the docs, Leah and Angelo's single status will officially be restored in March 2025.

David Eason is in the clear after his ex, Jenelle Evans, accused him of trespassing and theft while she was out of the state ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for the Columbus County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina tells TMZ ... the case was investigated after Jenelle accused David of violating a court order and trying to steal the "Teen Mom" alum's motorbikes while she was out of town, but officers determined nothing was taken that he wasn't allowed to take. We're told the case has now been closed.

As we reported, David was the one who called for the authorities to do something called a civil standby ... which the sheriff's office said was done to make sure the stuff he took didn't violate the no-contact order.

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón is trying to get the Menendez brothers out of prison to score some quick political points ... so says his opponent in November's election.

We spoke with Nathan Hochman, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney General who is running to replace Gascón as L.A. County's D.A., on "TMZ Live" Friday ... and, he tells us he finds the timing of GG's announcement "incredibly suspicious."

Hochman points out the habeas writ was filed last year in May, and the motion for resentencing was filed in February ... so, if D.A. Gascón really thought Erik and Lyle deserved to get out of jail, Hochman asks, why did he wait to advocate for it?

The Menendez brothers' prison is taking no chances with security threats following the major update in the infamous siblings' case ... TMZ has learned.

A source within the California Department of Corrections tells TMZ ... prison security has been beefed up after L.A. County D.A. George Gascón's announcement, in which he confirmed he would ask a judge to resentence Erik and Lyle Menendez -- who are currently serving life without the possibility of parole sentences for the 1989 murders of their parents, Kitty and José Menendez. Gascon filed the document officially asking a judge to resentence them Thursday evening.

We're told guards are working overtime to keep everyone safe inside the prison ... as well as outside the facility, given the likelihood that lookyloos will descend upon the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego County.

Lil Durk is being named by the feds as the top mastermind behind the murder-for-hire plot conspiracy in the attempt on Quando Rondo's life that left his cousin dead ... and may have been trying to flee the country when he was arrested!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained the federal complaint against Durk, which hits him with a conspiracy charge related to the alleged murder-for-hire.

The complaint comes on the heels of the previous indictment of 5 of his alleged Only The Family gang members, who prosecutors say were on the scene of the August 2022 shooting of Saviay'a Robinson, AKA Luh Pab.

The judge who will decide the fate of Erik and Lyle Menendez could do way more than what the D.A. is asking for ... he could free them the very day he hears their case.

As we reported, L.A. County D.A. George Gascón has filed legal docs asking Judge William C. Ryan to resentence the Menendez brothers. Based on a new law, the judge could change their sentence -- life without the possibility of parole -- to the possibility of immediately winning parole.

Thing is ... for Gascón to get his way, the Parole Board would have to hold a hearing and then decide if Erik and Lyle have been rehabilitated and are no longer a threat to society.

The Menendez brothers may have just caught a break in their resentencing ... because the judge in their case is notoriously liberal -- and, local attorneys say he's letting them out.

Judge William C. Ryan of the Los Angeles County Superior Court has been assigned the Menendez case ... and, we've talked to a number of prominent attorneys who have argued before this judge and personally know him, and they all highlight his fairness and open-minded nature.

We're told he's smart and fearless ... and supervising judges like to assign him sensitive cases other judges would be afraid to handle.

The Game recently suffered a bit of bad luck in his beloved city of Los Angeles -- returning to his car and discovering thieves made off with his hard-earned belongings!!!

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, "The Documentary" rapper parked his car in the San Fernando Valley on Wednesday, only to return and find someone had broken into the vehicle and taken around $100,000 in bling and designer bags.

Game's true -- not new to this -- and like a baller, had his security deal with the cops on the spot.

Lil Durk was just arrested in a murder conspiracy -- and one of the city keys he received last week has just been yanked before the new smell could whiff away!!!

The Chicago drill rap legend received the keys to Chicago villages Broadview and Bellwood on October 18 ... but Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson hit a U-turn on Friday.

She basically said her village can't afford to be seen doing business with whatever Durk's being accused of!!!

Alec Baldwin just scored another victory in the "Rust" shooting case ... 'cause a judge ruled against the state's motion to reconsider the dismissal with prejudice.

The First Judicial District Court of New Mexico filed its judgment Thursday ... saying many of the arguments the prosecutors made had already been put forward and did not rise to the level needed for reconsideration of the decision.

The judge also noted that even though the state did file its papers by the August 30 deadline, it filed a motion that went far beyond the allotted page limit without asking for permission from the court to do so.

The Menendez brothers are one step closer to their potential freedom ... but L.A. County D.A. George Gascón, who’s recommending the resentencing, is rejecting calls that he’s letting them off the hook.

Gascón spoke to "Good Morning America" Friday, following his big announcement yesterday -- and he made it clear that despite the good news for Lyle and Erik, the murders of their parents, Kitty and José, were brutal acts, and morally they haven't been given a free pass.

He explained his recommendation for their release is based on the belief that the brothers are not the same people they were at the time of the brutal murders 35 years ago ... as they've spent a lot of time doing good works while behind bars.

The Menendez brothers are a step closer to potentially getting out of prison ... because Los Angeles' District Attorney just filed the document officially asking a judge to resentence them.

D.A. George Gascón filed the motion mere minutes ago ... asking a judge to change the brothers' sentences from life without the possibility of parole to life with the possibility of parole. Because of time served, this would allow them to potentially be released from prison immediately.

It's a long document ... but, basically, the D.A.'s office says Erik and Lyle have been upstanding inmates and no longer present a risk to public safety -- so, there's no reason to keep them locked up.

Federal agents swooped in and arrested 5 men in connection to the August 2022 shooting in Los Angeles that killed Quando Rondo's cousin ... and now they're being charged with conspiracy to commit murder for hire in retaliation for King Von's death!!!

Federal prosecutors in California announced the grand jury indictment Thursday of Kavon London Grant, AKA "Vonnie" ... Deandre Dontrell Wilson, AKA "DeDe" ... Keith Jones, AKA “Flacka” ... David Brian Lindsey, AKA "Browneyez" ... and Asa Houston, AKA "Boogie."

Durk isn't a defendant here, but he's been vigorously fighting the label that OTF is a gang in a separate case involving the slaying of his rival, FBG Duck.
