A well-known contestant from "RuPaul's Drag Race" got busted this weekend for allegedly acting a fool -- and then posed for this epic mug shot afterward.

Joey Santolini -- AKA Tatianna of season 2 -- was arrested Sunday in Atlanta for disorderly conduct. Allow us to explain.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Tatianna was taken in by cops after she allegedly followed a nightclub employee back into the building through a door she wasn't supposed to use. According to cops, the employee had just snapped a photo with her, and after that ... he went in through an employees-only entrance.

Joe Giudice Free and Italy-Bound

Joe Giudice just had a bittersweet taste of freedom .... he's out of prison, but also he's been forced out of the United States.

Joe's daughter, Gia, just posted this pic of Joe on his way to the airport outside Washington, D.C., where he boarded a plane Friday at Dulles, bound for Rome.

The pic shows Joe in the car on the way to the airport.

As we reported, Joe convinced a judge to let him go to Italy while immigration officials decide his fate. The feds are in the middle of their effort to deport Joe ... this after his conviction for conspiracy to commit wire and bankruptcy fraud.

Joe served 36 months and was released in March, but he was then held by ICE while he fought deportation.

It sure looks like it's a losing battle for him, and making it worse is that Teresa and the kids are going to stay planted in New Jersey.

Aaron Carter can't take direction well ... or so it seems, after losing his cool with paps.

Todd & Julie Chrisley Settle GA State Tax Evasion Case ... Federal Still Looming

Todd Chrisley and his wife, Julie, can put their tax woes behind them -- at least at a state level -- but they're not yet in the clear of their federal tax evasion case.

The "Chrisley Knows Best" couple reached a settlement with the Georgia Department of Revenue last week stemming from allegations they evaded nearly $2 million in state taxes between 2008 and 2016 ... and it's mostly good news.

According to the Chrisley camp ... Todd and Julie were found to have incorrectly filed for just one year in that time span, 2009, and in the end they agreed to pay $77,000 in overdue taxes.

The Georgia DOR has subsequently dropped its claim the Chrisleys owe more than $2.1 mil in unpaid taxes, interest and fees.

Todd says, "Julie and I knew all along that we had done nothing wrong and that when all the facts came out, we would be fine."

However, a source connected to Ronnie tells us he's claiming Jen injured her shoulder falling back off a fence as he took Ariana away from her. We're told Jen was dangerously dangling Ariana over the fence prior to Ronnie securing his daughter.

We're told he also claims Jen threw herself to the ground and was clinging to Ronnie as he tried to get back to the house with the baby, and that's when she suffered the leg injury.
