Suge Knight is a wanted man in California ... again ... TMZ has learned, TWO separate warrants have once again been issued for his arrest, stemming from a couple alleged joyrides with a bum license.

Knight had two hearings this month regarding both cases -- one from 2011 and one from 2012 -- when cops busted him driving on a suspended license ... but we're told he blew both off.

Bench warrants were subsequently issued for each case -- both for $20,000.

It's the second time bench warrants have been issued for Knight in these cases -- back in February, warrants were issued for the same reason (blowing off a court date) but those warrants had previously been resolved.

Calls to Knight's people weren't returned. Please don't hurt us.

Busy week, with lots of alleged bigotry front and center -- from Alec Baldwin's Twitter rant, to Paula Deen's Titanic-like career plunge. So we gotta ask ...

6:45 AM PT Arenas was booked for misdemeanor possession, and has been released without bail. We're told there were 100 POUNDS of fireworks in the truck.

Ex-NBA star Gilbert Arenas' 4th of July is gonna suck -- 'cause he got nailed by cops early this morning for illegal fireworks -- A TON OF ILLEGAL FIREWORKS -- as in a full truckload of 'em ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us Arenas was pulled over by California Highway Patrol around 2:30 AM in Los Angeles for speeding in a Ford pickup -- but officers immediately saw that the truck was filled with fireworks ... sitting in plain sight in the bed and cab of the truck.

We're told Arenas was arrested and will be booked for possession of illegal fireworks, and cited for speeding -- he was allegedly doing 80 mph -- and driving without a license.

It's unclear exactly how much fireworks were in the truck, but it was enough that the LAPD bomb squad was called to handle the illegal booty.

Our camera guy counted around 20 boxes being unloaded ... very carefully.

Arenas -- whose last NBA team was the Memphis Grizzlies in the 2011-12 season -- was infamously busted for gun possession when he brandished a loaded pistol in his Washington Wizards locker room back in 2010.

Chris Brown just learned that ole saying -- mess with Miss Russian L.A. ... get charged with hit-and-run. Or something like that.

Anyway, CB's screwed after a fender bender with the chick.

8:10 AM PT Chris' lawyer, Mark Geragos, just told TMZ, the criminal hit-and-run charge against his client is "B.S." Geragos says Chris gave the other driver his Virginia driver's license and also gave her an insurance card.

Geragos says Chris has 2 cars, and the Fireman's Insurance card he forked over was for his Lamborghini -- not the Range Rover he was driving. Geragos acknowledges Chris didn't have a California DL, but says it's ridiculous to charge him with hit-and-run given that he turned over sufficient identifying info.

Chris Brown went insane on the woman whose car he hit last month, screaming at her, "Who do you think you are, Bitch?" ... and it got so bad, Karrueche Tran yelled to Chris, "Don't touch her, don't touch her!"

In a written statement to cops -- obtained by TMZ -- the victim, Olga Gure-Kovalenko says after Chris rear-ended her Mercedes, they pulled to the side of the road, got out and they both took pictures of the vehicles.

Things went South quickly when Olga asked for Chris' driver's license, registration and insurance info. Karrueche handed over HER DL, and Olga wisely said she needed to see Chris' DL. Karrueche said she was the owner of the vehicle so Chris didn't need to supply any info. Olga says she persisted and asked for Chris' info.

When Chris and Karrueche refused to cooperate, Olga felt she needed to get a picture of the 2 of them in case they split. As soon as she snapped the pic (above), she says Chris and Karrueche went nuts.

Olga says, "The guy [Chris] tried to grab camera or me. I jumped back, the girl [Karrueche] screamed, 'Don't touch her, don't touch her!'"

Olga says Chris then started to rant, "You are a bitch! Who do you think you are, bitch? Do you think if you driving Mercedes so got money, bitch?"

And then Olga says Chris dropped this, "Do you think I am just a black n***er."

Olga says Chris continued screaming and then "slammed a door and drove away fast and noisy."

Olga says Chris also "bragged about how much money he has and offered up false registration."

Chris Brown has been charged with criminal hit-and-run ... TMZ has learned.

We've learned the L.A. City Attorney has filed 2 criminal charges against Brown, in connection with a minor accident last month where Chris rear-ended a Mercedes and allegedly refused to fork over his driver's license number and gave bogus insurance info and then left the scene.

The City Attorney has charged Chris with hit-and-run -- for leaving the scene without exchanging proper information. He's also been charged with the crime of driving without a valid license. The crimes are punishable by a maximum of 6 months in jail for each offense.

We've also learned the City Attorney will refer the matter to the L.A. County D.A. for a possible probation violation in the Rihanna beating case. Worst case scenario -- if the judge in that case concludes Chris broke the law and thereby violated his probation, he could be sentenced to prison for 4 years.

Farrah Abraham might have two D's on her chest, but she got all A's in her drunk classes -- the "Teen Mom" passed her alcohol ed classes with flying colors.

As TMZ previously reported ... the anusly-gifted porn star copped a plea deal with prosecutors earlier this month -- pleading guilty to DUI. She got 6 months probation and was ordered to complete an alcohol education course.

The "Backdoor Teen Mom" took her punishment like a man. We're told she was on her "best behavior" in booze school.

Farrah took the classes in Texas (where she lives), rather than Nebraska (where she was arrested) and even got a diploma! Well, really it's just a certificate of completion.

Champagne anyone?

Justin Bieber's neighbors are being urged to call the cops on the singer and his lil buddies ... TMZ has learned.

The Home Owner's Association in Bieber's Calabasas hood fired off a letter to its residents ... addressing a certain unnamed "celebrity" neighbor who has been wreaking havoc on their streets.

It's clear the HOA is targeting the Biebs ... "The storyline concerns one of our celebrity residents confronting another celebrity resident over alleged dangerous driving."

Translation: Bieber was a douchebag to Keyshawn Johnson, who confronted JB after his Ferrari roared through the neighborhood.

The letter does not specifically mention the escapades of Lil Twist and Lil Za, who zoomed through the gated community Thursday and went off on a resident.

The letter urges residents to call a Sheriff's Dept hotline if they spot the Biebs or his lil posse driving recklessly.

The letter also makes it clear ... residents who violate HOA rules are subject to disciplinary action from the HOA board in the form of fines and other penalties.

5:10 PM -- The plane just took off with Bieber inside. We don't know if the monkey made it in time.

Justin Bieber has pissed off a private jet company ... because his plane has been grounded in Miami for 8 hours, while Justin searches for his pet monkey ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Justin rented a private jet to take him from Miami to Burbank. The plane was supposed to take off at 11 AM ET, but the Biebs called to say he was running late.

Hours passed ... and he showed up at around 3 PM. But we're told he wasn't ready to smoke out of Miami because he needed to pick up his monkey from West Palm Beach.

Four more hours passed, and the monkey hasn't surfaced at the airport. We're told Bieber actually chartered a helicopter to bypass street traffic and retrieve the primate.

We're told Bieber has 30 minutes left at the time of this post ... before the pilot pulls the plug because he's about to run out of duty time.

Justin Bieber's housemates -- Lil Za & Lil Twist -- are law-breaking, aggressive punks ... who dangerously rocketed through the streets of Calabasas and cussed out their neighbor ... and TMZ has the footage.

The latest incident went down Thursday inside Bieber's exclusive gated community -- The Oaks -- where one of Bieber's neighbors witnessed Za and Twist tearing up the streets in JB's cars ... a black Range Rover and the infamous white Ferrari.

You'll see a lady with a camera driving 25mph -- the speed limit -- as the two cars are stopped in front of her ... one in the oncoming traffic lane.

As the woman passes Bieber's cars ... Za and Twist turn on the jets and screech past her at speeds way in excess of the limit.

It all comes to a head at one of the gates in the community, where Za gets out of his car, aggressively confronts the woman -- and proclaims he's a resident of The Oaks with this glib gem ... "I live with Justin Bieber and you know I do."

He then tells the woman, "F**k you. Get the f**k out of here."

The L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. is not impressed that Tyler, The Creator claims he was driving Justin Bieber's Ferrari at crazy speeds on Memorial Day ... because they just sent a criminal case targeting JUSTIN to the L.A. County D.A..

Law enforcement sources tell us ... it's virtually certain the D.A. will NOT prosecute the Biebs ... in part because there's only one witness who claims to have seen J.B. behind the wheel, and there's video of Tyler, The Creator maneuvering the Ferrari in the driveway.

Of course, it's possible Justin switched seats with Tyler before entering the driveway, but possibilities don't win criminal cases.

And get this ... Tyler almost certainly won't be prosecuted because no one can finger him driving at breakneck speeds on the streets.

Selena Gomez has the best problems in the world -- her brand new luxury automobile is so fancy ... she can't figure out how to get gas in it.

But you gotta see who helped her stick it in ... the gas tank.

"Reservoir Dogs" actor Michael Madsen has a really bad booze problem that needs immediate attention -- so says the judge in his DUI case ... who just ordered Madsen to check in to a live-in alcohol treatment facility.

Madsen appeared in court in Van Nuys today sporting a nasty black eye. It's unclear how he got the shiner ... but the actor has bigger problems.

The actor had been ordered to appear in court today after the judge revoked his probation stemming from his 2012 arrest ... when he was popped on PCH in a gleaming red hot rod with a blood alcohol level over twice the legal limit (allegedly).

Madsen had struck a plea deal in the case, in which he agreed to attend AA classes -- but we're told he blew them off, so the judge revoked his probation.

Today ... the judge decided he needed some extra help with his alcohol problem ... and ordered him to enroll in a residential treatment facility for at least 30 days.

The judge ordered Madsen not to leave the facility without court approval -- and said the court would reevaluate the situation after the 30-day period based on a progress report from the facility.

"iCarly" actress Miranda Cosgrove claims she was "disfigured and disabled" in a nasty 2011 tour bus crash ... this according to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.

We broke the story ... Cosgrove -- who also happens to be a pop star -- was traveling on a bus in Illinois with 5 other passengers when it slammed into an overturned tractor-trailer that was laying across the highway.

Cosgrove suffered a broken ankle in the wreck ... and was forced to cancel the rest of her tour.

Now, TMZ has learned ... the 20-year-old and her mother (who was also on board) are suing the driver of the bus, the driver of the tractor and the transportation companies ... claiming the whole thing could have been prevented.

In the suit, the Cosgroves claim both drivers were operating their vehicles in an unsafe manner and failed to keep a "safe and proper lookout."

They also claim the tour bus driver failed to hit the brakes in time (...duh).

According to the lawsuit, filed in federal court in Illinois, the women claim they were each "disfigured and disabled" and "have lost their normal lives" as a result of the crash ... though they don't give specific details about their injuries.

They're suing for unspecified damages ... demanding more than $50k each.

Calls to the transportation companies have not been returned.

Fun Fact -- Miranda played the snobby little rich girl in "School of Rock." Great flick ...

Justin Bieber was under investigation for a possible hit and run accident involving a paparazzo overnight -- but police have now cleared him of any wrongdoing ... TMZ has learned.

Justin was leaving the Laugh Factory on Sunset Boulevard around 11:45 PM in his infamous white Ferrari. His pal Lil Twist was there as a passenger, and several paps were on scene shooting the duo.

Once Justin got behind the wheel he motioned for some of the photogs to clear out of the way -- but when he drove off he appeared to pin one of them between the Ferrari and a parked car.

Justin did not stop.

LAPD launched an investigation and interviewed Justin a few hours after the incident ... and he told cops he didn't know he hit the photographer (not a TMZ employee).

Police say the photog was not seriously hurt, but was at fault because he was a pedestrian in the roadway.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Jeff Garlin won't face vandalism charges after allegedly smashing the windows of a Mercedes on Saturday, TMZ has learned -- but he will get a stern talking to.

We broke the story ... Garlin was popped for felony vandalism in Studio City, CA following the incident, when he allegedly flew off the handle while arguing with a female Mercedes driver over a parking spot ... breaking the woman's side window with his bare hand (impressive).

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Garlin will NOT face criminal charges ... he will instead have to sit for a meeting with the L.A. City Attorney, who will lecture him about the incident as well as vandalism laws.
