Hot Vegas

Three 6 Mafia rapper Crunchy Black is a man who knows what he wants when it comes to drugs ... but according to cops he isn't too good at getting it.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the Oscar winner was roaming the streets of Vegas early Tuesday when he was stopped for walking into an intersection when the "do not cross" light was flashing.

It didn't take long for cops to discover meth.

According to the police report, Crunchy's response was hilariously incriminating. He said, "Oh damn. I was trying to buy that powder, not meth."

For bad measure the 'Three 6' rapper also had 2 warrants for his arrest. He was booked for possession and for providing a phony name. He's still in custody.

Crunchy has other problems. He's still a wanted man in Minnesota after allegedly beating his girlfriend in a hotel room.

A rep for Crunchy Black tells us the rapper wants to move forward with his life and will handle the charges in court. Some advice ... don't move forward when the "don't walk" sign is flashing.

Now that he's been booted from "Dancing with the Stars," NFL wannabe Michael Sam was looking to drown his sorrows in Las Vegas this weekend -- by kickin' it at the pool with Sammy Hagar.

The former Van Halen frontman and the former NFL player hung out at the Azure Luxury Pool at the Palazzo hotel ... where Sammy was trying to promote his new poolside bar.

Rapper YC -- aka Yung Chris -- just learned fidelity is a key part of marriage ... especially the night before your wedding.

YC and his GF of 5 years, Tia Anderson ... decided to elope at the end of March, and invited a handful of family and friends to join them at the Bellagio in Vegas. What they didn't plan on was the smokin' hot bartender.

YC's rep Kali Bowyer says Tia spotted YC -- best known for his hit, "Racks" -- getting handsy with a hotel bartender on Friday night ... and immediately pulled the plug on the Saturday ceremony.

YC's telling friends nothing happened with the drink-slinger, but admits it was heading in that direction. Not that it matters to Tia ... the damage was done.

As for the ring -- we're told Tia's keeping it. If YC's looking for ice ... try the bartender.

His name is Barry
He's got a ring on
And husband Garry's got one too
We all scratched and said "Who knew?"

Barry Manilow was belting out one of his many hits at the MGM Grand in Vegas with a shiny wedding ring on his finger.

The pic doesn't show it, but we're guessing he's excited that it's out he married his longtime manager Garry Kief last year.

Now we know who Barry can't smile without.

The weekend of the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight will be LEGENDARY for pimps, hos, marks, mark ass marks, trick ass marks, punk bitches and skip skap scallywags alike.

At least according to one of the most famous (and perhaps the most celebrated) pimp of all time ... Bishop Don "Magic" Juan.

The Bishop was hangin' at Berri's Cafe on Third in L.A. when he told us Sin City will be a virtual ho-asis on May 2nd ... because hos go where the money is.

"People are bringing hundreds of thousands [of dollars] just to throw away," Bishop says.

The competition for the hottest Mayweather/Pacquiao post-fight party is over ... cause Jay Z just announced he's getting in the game ... with V.I.P. tables running up to $50k-a-pop.

It's all going down at Marquee nightclub at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Vegas -- just down the way from where Manny and Floyd will be facing off on May 2nd.

We spoke with party honchos who tell us they expect this to be the biggest after-party on the strip -- despite fierce competition from stars like Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown and 2 Chainz.

If you don't have $50k, don't worry ... there are cheaper options.

General admission tickets are $100 -- if you have a penis.

Tickets for females are significantly cheaper ... $30.

Gender equality -- it ain't for everybody.

Dennis Rodman -- unofficial ambassador to North Korea -- is celebrating his 54th birthday like a true dignitary ... with a MASSIVE PORN STAR BASH ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Three of the biggest porn stars in the biz -- Katie Morgan, Tasha Reign, and Teagan Presley -- will help The Worm blow out his candles at Sapphire gentlemen's club in Vegas on May 1st.

The club is gonna be insane that weekend -- not just because Rodman + porn stars = insanity ... but also because it's the weekend of the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight.

We're told Rodman and the X-gang will be hanging out in a private area of the club -- and guests can buy tix to enter for $250-a-pop.

As everyone knows ... Dennis loves birthdays -- just last year, he serenaded Kim Jong-un. No word if Mr. Supreme Leader plans to return the favor.

Nicki Minaj is cashing in on the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight -- headlining a HUUUGE concert after the brawl ... with VIP packages going as high as $10,000-a-pop!

TMZ Sports has learned ... Nicki -- along with Funkmaster Flex, Sevyn Streeter and Jeremih -- will be performing at Chateau nightclub at the Paris in Las Vegas directly following the fight.

Tickets start at $80 ... but gets more expensive the more baller you get.

The top V.I.P. package runs about $10k and includes 10 tickets, a V.I.P. table, 4 bottles of Belvedere Vodka, 4 bottles of Dom Perignon Rose Champagne, 2 bottles of Hennessy, 24 Waters & 24 Red Bulls.

And get this ... if you can't make it to Vegas, you can still watch the show -- because we're told it will be broadcasting via Pay-Per-View as part of the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight package.

In other words, if you order the fight ... you also get the post-fight concert.

Seems Richard Sherman's elbow's all better -- 'cause the guy was healthy enough to get on the 1s and 2s at a crazy pool party in Vegas this weekend ... with his pal Brody Jenner!

The two -- along with Richard's teammate Kam Chancellor -- took over the DJ booth at Tao Beach at the Venetian ... providing the beats as a bunch of young, hot, barely-dressed (mostly drunk) people partied their faces off.

Later that night, the gang took the party to Tao Nightclub ... where Jenner has a DJ residency.

We're told the guys were cool, took pics with tons of fans -- and gambled a little bit later that night.

Thanks to our friends at SpyOnVegas.com for the pics.

Cross another couple of stars off the ringside list for the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight -- because Chrissy Teigen says there's no way in hell she and John Legend are paying $87k for tickets!

We broke the story ... a high end NY ticket broker is selling the first ringside seats for $87,500 each -- and says he's got multiple "serious" buyers lining up to throw their money around.

Which brings us to Chrissy ... who loves boxing ... who's married to a guy who also loves boxing ... who happens to be super rich ... and who also refuses to spend that kind of money on tickets.

And she's not the only rich star who says the tickets are a ripoff ... "Shark Tank" star Robert Herjavec is also refusing to pony up the dough.

Seems an $87,500 price tag isn't deterring rich people from the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight ... because the broker selling the seats tells TMZ Sports he's already got "serious" buyers lined up.

We broke the story ... the guy who runs Precision Concierge New York (PCNY) says he's secured 39 tickets to the fight, including ringside seats, which he's selling for $87,500 each.

Hours after he posted the tix and the prices, Oren Schneider says he's already had real interest from legit buyers looking to throw around some serious dough.

"I've been getting phone calls all day," Schneider says ... but so far, the ringside tickets have not been officially snatched up.

A high-end NY-based "hospitality service" says it has the very first authentic ringside seats to the Mayweather vs.Pacquiao fight ... and they could be yours for $87,500-a-pop!!!

TMZ Sports spoke with Oren Schneider -- the head of Precision Concierge New York (PCNY) -- who tells us he has 39 tickets to the fight ... ranging from upper level to ringside seats.

The prime seats -- $87,500 for 6th row ringside ... but he only has two at the moment.

So, how did he get the seats since tickets have NOT gone on sale to the general public? Oren says he knows some very powerful people connected to the fight.

We called reps for the MGM Grand, Top Rank (Pacquiao's promoters) and TMT (Mayweather's people) who all told us the same thing -- it's possible the tickets are legit, but they didn't come from them.

As far as PCNY's legitimacy goes ... they've been registered as a legit business in New York since 2011 ... and we've spoken with several entertainment industry people who vouched for 'em.

That being said, here are some of the other prices:

(2) Lower 13 Row G @ $42,500 each (center ring)
(2) Lower 13 Row M @ $36,500 each (center ring)
(2-4) Lower 15 Row M @ $23,500 each (just off center ring)
(2-5) Lower 15 Row T @ $16,000 each (just off center ring)
(2-4) Lower 14 Row W @ $14,650 each (just off row R @ $12,500 each (corner)
(2-4) Lower 19 Row X @ $10,100 each (corner ring)
(2-4) Upper 209 Row L @ $7,850 each (corner to ringside)
(2-4) Lower 5 Row R @ $12,500 each (corner)
(2-4) Lower 19 Row X @ $10,100 each (corner ring)
(2-4) Upper 209 Row L @ $7,850 each (corner to ringside)

Hope you saved up.

Destiny's Child was back in business Saturday night in Vegas for the Gospel Music Awards ... and we're talkin' Beyonce.

Actually the star was Michelle Williams, who picked up the award for Music Video of the Year for her song, "Say Yes." The song features Beyonce and Kelly Rowland, but they don't go by D.C.

The girls performed the song, and it's really great. The crowd loved it.

Scott Disick was a wild man in Vegas, scoring a big fee for hosting Friday night festivities at 1OAK.

Disick, you know, bailed on rehab a week ago because he said he had business obligations. Before he left his cushy Costa Rican facility, he partied at 2 nightclubs. He kept it going last night.

No evidence Disick, who famously has problems with alcohol abuse, was boozing it up in the club.

You hear Disick scream in the video, inviting clubgoers to orally pleasure his friend.

David Arquette is an artist at heart ... even with ass in his face -- and the freshly tagged wall of a Vegas strip club proves it.

Our stripper sources tell us ... Arquette and his boys were at the Hustler Las Vegas last weekend for his bachelor party -- but instead of draining their bank accounts for lap dances .. they went outside and put a fresh layer of graffiti on the side of the club.

David's been dabbling in graffiti, and as a Hustler L.V. regular ... we're told the club manager gave him and his crew the green light to tag at will. The whole thing took about an hour, but David's no fool ... his posse went inside for few dances before calling it a night.

At least that's the story they're telling his fiancee, Christina McLarty.

If you're gonna be in Vegas for the big fight ... and you're not at an MGM property ... you may be S.O.L. -- because MGM honchos are blocking competitors from showing Mayweather vs. Pacquiao ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Here's what we know ... MGM has an exclusivity deal which blocks rival hotels on the Vegas Strip from showing the fight -- and that includes in-room, in bars, in the casino ... anywhere.

Of course, the fight is happening at the MGM Grand on May 2nd -- and clearly, the company is looking to completely corner the local market.

We contacted several non-MGM properties which confirmed the blockage -- and a rep for a major rival hotel told us, "We aren't able to air the fight, that's true. And our guests won't be able to have it in-room either. It's a contract the MGM has. Unfortunately, it blacks out non-MGM properties."

Vegas is expecting hundreds of thousands of people to come in to town for the fight -- and now it seems they'll all have to fight for space at one of the MGM's 14 Vegas properties.

Good luck.
