Flavor Flav Arrested in the Mother of All Traffic Stops
Flavor Flav was arrested early Thursday morning in Las Vegas by highway patrol and got nailed for so many alleged crimes ... it might be easier to tell you what cops didn't pin on him.
Only sorta kidding, but here's what they booked him on:
-- DUI
-- Possession of marijuana
-- Open container
-- Speeding
-- Bogus registration
-- Driving with a suspended license
According to Nevada Highway Patrol, this all began when cops spotted Flav at 12:30 AM 2005 black BMW and going 73mph in a 45mph zone.
Flav was busted for speeding last year in NY on the way to his mother's funeral. When cops ran his license, they found it was suspended 16 times.
He swore to a judge he fixed the problem, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Mark Cuban Tiger Killed Me Slowly, But Surely At Poker Tables
Mark Cuban suffered a slow, painful poker death at the hands of Tiger Woods, but wants to make it clear ... he's still got a few pennies left to invest on "Shark Tank."
Cubes tells TMZ Sports, Tiger did hit him hard during the charity poker tournament in Vegas last weekend, and says Tiger's secret weapon was being a "very patient" player. Odd, since Woods is known to be anything but than when he's stinking up a golf course.
And the Mavericks owner says, despite the hysterical video he posted of Tiger's poker face right after their game -- he didn't lose everything. He says, "We didn’t have any big bets like people made it seem."
In other words, Cuban was just billionaire broke -- as in, still filthy rich to the rest of us -- and only until he walked 20 feet to the nearest ATM.
Who are we kidding? Someone delivers his cash to him.

Floyd Mayweather's Uncle Vows to Beat Up Woman ... After He Gets Maced
Floyd Mayweather's uncle says he was going to make a woman "feel the real deal" ... after she blasted him with pepper spray in Vegas ... insinuating he was going to beat her up ... and TMZ Sports has the video.
FYI -- Roger Mayweather was a famous champion fighter in his own right who went on to train Floyd for some of his biggest bouts ... and worked in Floyd's camp for the Pacquiao fight.
In the video, which we're told was shot on March 14th in a discount shop in Vegas ... the 54-year-old admits he was blasted with mace ... and vows revenge on the woman who did it.
Sources connected to the incident tell us ... Roger had approached two women and began to hit on them ... saying they had "fat asses."
But we're told the women weren't having it ... and tried to tell him to leave. When Roger pressed on ... one pulled out the pepper spray, fired on him, and ran out of the store.
In the clip, shot moments after the incident, the photog suggests the women were lucky Roger didn't punch them -- to which Roger replies:
"Man, don't worry about that ... I don't even wanna think about what I'm gonna do to her ass when I see her, for real."
He continues, "When I see her again, she gonna feel the real deal."
We're told the people at the store wanted to call the police -- but Roger insisted they leave the cops out of it.
FYI -- Mayweather was convicted of battery in 2011 for attacking a female boxer he used to train at his Las Vegas apartment.
We reached out to Roger -- his camp told us they have "zero comment."

Mariah Carey I'm Back at Caesars!! Fans Highly Doubt It

Sources at the hotel tell us the box office has been flooded with calls today from gun shy fans who are concerned they're going to get stiffed like the crowd did on Wednesday ... when Mariah had to cancel due to bronchitis.
If it's any consolation to the worry worts --- our Mariah sources say all signs point to MC performing. Doctors cleared her, and she attended a rehearsal. In order to save her voice, we're told she whistled the songs ... and even that sounded pretty good.
It's a big weekend ... besides tonight's show, she's pulling a double on Sunday. We're told Mariah will perform for the Billboard Awards at the MGM Grand around 5 PM, and then shoot down the Strip to Caesar's for her show at 8 PM.

Taylor famously goes to great lengths to protect her music, but a lot of fans think if she really had a problem with the livestream she shouldn't have signed up in the first place.

Mariah Carey Diamonds Get Her Every Time ... Fan Sucks Up with Jewelry
Mariah Carey is smiling from earhole to earhole because one of her fans -- with money to burn, apparently -- laid a cool 4 Gs worth o' jewels on the diva as a pretty sweet thank you gift.
Sources tell TMZ ... Mimi invited jeweler Eric Meier to her opening Vegas show at Caesars Palace, and to prove he's her biggest fan -- he handed her a pair of black diamond drop earrings in an 18 ct. rose gold setting.
We're told the Orion earrings are worth nearly $4k, but we're guessing he got a decent discount since they're available at his store, Diamonds Don't Lie. Still, it's the thought that counts ... as you can tell from Mariah's face.
Now imagine what Eric would have given to be the guy she cuffed and blindfolded onstage.

50 Cent Jeweler Says Rapper's Crew Brutalized Him Stole Expensive Jewelry
50 Cent is smack in the middle of a criminal investigation after a guy claims 50's goons pistol whipped him and stole a quarter of a million dollars in bling.
Robert Marin, who owns LAX Jewelry Co., tells TMZ he went to Vegas during fight weekend because he wanted to sell the rapper a watch and chain worth $250K. Marin says he met 50 at Drai's nightclub, showed him the jewelry and 50 was in, but they needed to negotiate a price.
Marin says they stayed at Drai's until the wee hours Saturday and 50's crew invited him to see Floyd Mayweather's gym ... an offer he couldn't refuse. Marin claimed when they arrived things turned ugly. He says 2 of 50's guys pistol whipped him, stole the jewelry and fled.
Marin has filed a robbery report and Vegas cops are investigating.
50's people say the story is BS ... his attorney Scott Leemon tells us, “On behalf of 50, I can adamantly deny that he or his security had anything to do with these baseless and false allegations.”

Now, 21-year-old ATown's a pretty diminutive guy ... but still had to be held back by Snacks, his much bigger brother/manager.

Shortly after the incident he let his fans -- like French Montana, Waka Flocka Flame, and Nick Cannon -- know he'd survived.

Brandon Davis 'Firecrotch' Guy Gets Burned By Massive Casino Debt
Lindsay Lohan's nemesis Brandon Davis blew through $300k in one amazingly awful Vegas night -- but he was gambling with casino money, and hasn't paid the debt ... so now they want payback.
Brandon -- an heir to the Davis oil fortune -- was sued by the Wynn Las Vegas and the Bellagio for unpaid markers which he got on Nov. 7, 2014. In docs, the casinos say Davis has been ducking them ever since his epic bad luck streak.
So, the Bad Check Diversion Unit of the Clark County D.A.'s Office is stepping in -- ordering Davis to pay at least $9,257/month until he's paid his tab ... which has now ballooned to $323,962.
Pretty funny -- the guy who infamously blasted Lindsay for being poor is now deep in debt. Still, it's a good excuse for a "firecrotch" #tbt.
