Completes Rehab Stint for Alcohol
30 minutes ago BY TMZ STAFF
We're told Hamm checked himself into Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut at the end of February. It's a high-end facility.
The final season is already in the can.
Hamm's people tell TMZ, "With the support of his longtime partner Jennifer Westfeldt, Jon Hamm recently completed treatment for his struggle with alcohol addiction. They have asked for privacy and sensitivity going forward."
Justin Bieber
My Killer Bodyguard ...
Is Just A Big Puppy
3/24/2015 4:18 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
Biebs isn't playing around when it comes to Esther -- the same adorable little Silky Terrier he wined and dined at Mastro's in Bev Hills on Sunday ... it looks like he's put his top dog, Michael Arana, on the job.
The good news ... if Arana can handle himself against a gaggle of Miami cops or some unruly London paps like he did in 2013, he can more than handle picking up Esther's doodie.
No shame in taking care of the lil' doggie, as long as he's not getting paid in kibble.
'Millionaire Matchmaker' Hottie
My Ass Loves Ball Sports ...
That's No Stretch!
3/24/2015 3:32 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
"Millionaire Matchmaker" star Candace Smith made the perfect love connection on an L.A. beach Tuesday ... between her ass and the paparazzi.
Candace -- a former beauty queen -- hit the sand for some volleyball and a pigskin toss (looks like she has game) ... with her pal ex-Miss USA Susie Castillo.
Like all finely tuned athletes ... Candace knows nothing's more important than stretching. Well, that and a very small bikini.
Check out the pics -- these ladies worked up a serious thirst.
Darren Sharper
Eligible For Hall Of Fame...
Despite Rape Conviction
3/24/2015 3:01 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
Despite the fact he'll be locked up for the next 9 years, convicted rapist Darren Sharper is still eligible to be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame -- and based on his numbers alone, there's a real possibility it could happen.
TMZ Sports spoke with Joe Horrigan -- Executive V.P. of the Selection Process for the Pro Football HOF -- who tells us there's nothing in the bylaws preventing a convicted criminal from being enshrined in Canton.
Horrigan says as long as the player has been out of the league for 5 years and has made at least 1 All-Pro team ... that person is eligible.
That being said ... the Exec. V.P. says it's POSSIBLE voters will take Sharper's crimes into account when voting for the former New Orleans Saints superstar -- but they're not supposed to.
FYI ... Sharper played 14 seasons in the league and was a 6-time All-Pro ... widely considered one of the best safeties of his era.
Sharper last played in 2010 ... so he would be eligible as early as 2016.
Stay tuned ...
Ray J
Quits 'Love & Hip Hop'
I Choose Princess Love Over Money
3/24/2015 2:46 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
According to our sources, Ray J feels the negativity and conflict which defines the show has screwed up his relationship with Princess Love. They've been having problems ever since her arrest in February and we're told Ray J thinks they can't solve their problems while he's part of the show.
Our sources say Ray J offered to shoot scenes that were uplifting and free of strife, but producers weren't interested, so on Monday he bailed.
We're told producers will throw a Hail Mary Wednesday, meeting with Ray J and his manager, David Weintraub, in an attempt to change Ray J's mind, but as things stand now ... he's done.
Mackenzie McKee
My Stupid Hubby was Huntin' Hogs
While I Was In A Ditch
3/24/2015 1:33 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
"Teen Mom 3" star Mackenzie McKee blames her no-good husband and diabetes for the crash that almost totaled her SUV ... but mostly her husband.
The MTV star told us on TMZ Live ... she was looking for Josh when she drove her Kia Sorento into a ditch.
She told us what Josh was doing in the Oklahoma boonies ... turns out he's just wild about hogs.
As for why Mackenzie didn't get insurance when she drove the car off the lot ... well, remember, she was 16 and pregnant.

David Crosby
Dramatic 911 Call ...
'I Hit a Guy!'
3/24/2015 11:54 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
David Crosby pleaded with dispatchers to quickly send an ambulance to the scene of the accident where he hit a jogger with his car.
During the call, Crosby can be heard begging dispatchers over and over to send help. He tells the dispatcher multiple times that he struck the guy with his car and, just like he told police, he blamed the accident on the sun's glare.
The accident occurred Sunday in California wine country. The victim was treated for serious, but not life-threatening, injuries.
Crosby was uninjured and police are still investigating.
Univision
Threatened by Fired Host
YOU LIED ... Michelle Obama Never Complained
3/24/2015 10:59 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
Univision illegally fired a popular host and falsely painted him as a racist ... all because he was standing up for Latinos and fighting to get them unionized ... this according to the host's angry lawyer.
As previously reported, Rodner Figueroa, who was a host on the popular "El Gordo y la Flaca," did a segment earlier this month in which a makeup artist came on and showed pics of himself transformed into female celebs, including Michelle Obama. Rodner said the Michelle pic looked like someone from the cast of "Planet of the Apes." He was fired as a result.
In a scathing letter to Univision, obtained by TMZ, Rodner's lawyer, legal pit bull Marty Singer, says the network cooked up a phony excuse, claiming it fired him after receiving a formal complaint from Michelle Obama's Office. Singer says it's a lie ... the White House NEVER called.
Singer says the firing was far more sinister. He says Rodner had gone all Norma Rae, trying to unionize Univision, and this was a convenient way to get rid of him and destroy his career.
Singer ends his letter with a Rosa Parks reference, "Make no mistake, despite Univision's best efforts, Latino talent will not be forced to 'sit in the back of the bus' any longer."
Singer is demanding that Univision rehire Rodner and make a public apology ... or else.
Oprah Winfrey
Look at My Nudes!
They're All for Sale
3/24/2015 11:13 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
Oprah Winfrey is holding the yard sale to end all yard sales -- in the form of a massive online auction -- and the items up for sale reveal ... Oprah's a little bit of a freak.
Look past her run-of-the-mill plates, tables, chairs, etc. -- and the thing that stands out is her abundance of nude artwork. For example, there's the set of four framed nude male mythological figures ... expected to fetch between $800-$1,200.
There's also a nude painting by Aristide Maillol ($8,000-$12,000), a few Ellie Dolgin nude statues (around $10,000), and a painting of a nude woman by Richard Edward Miller with an estimated worth of $80,000-$120,000.
There's also a weight set that looks barely used (no shade, just the truth) for about $500, a pen with Oprah's name on it for $50, and some kind of lamb sculpture that lays for about $2,000.
Maybe just stick with the nudes.

'Empire'
Legal Dogfight Over Show Name
3/24/2015 8:45 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
The label is called Empire Distribution -- they do distribution and publishing as well with big artists like Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Too Short, N.O.R.E. and Sean Paul. The label claims FOX has no right to use the name Empire because the show tarnishes its brand.
Empire Distribution has claimed it's being hurt because the fictitious label on the show is run by a "homophobic drug dealer prone to murdering his friends."
Empire Distribution is willing to live with the taint, but only if Fox pays $8 million ... $5 million if the show uses Empire Distribution's artists as regulars.
But now FOX has filed a lawsuit asking a judge to declare Empire Distribution's demand bogus. In the new world order, Fox notes that Empire Distribution is relatively obscure, showing up on the 7th page in a Google search.
FOX wants the dispute put to bed STAT, before season 2 kicks off.

Patrick and Miley hit up Kiwami in Studio City, CA -- not far from her house on Monday night. ET got a shot of them inside ... and all signs point to Patrick getting a pass for his Cabo fiesta with his ex-GF and his BFF's GF.
According to ET's sources in the restaurant, they were very romantic -- kissing, holding hands, and laughing ... probably NOT about his Mexico shenanigans, but looks like she's over it.
Sooo ... wedding still on?

Chris Massey
Lil Twist Is Great ...
At Shining Justin Bieber's Shoes
3/24/2015 7:55 AM PDT BY TMZ STAFF
Chris Massey is throwing shade -- with racial undertones -- at Lil Twist ... the guy who allegedly beat him with a pair of brass knuckles.
Massey ripped Twist as nothing more than Justin Bieber's lackey when we shot him at LAX Monday afternoon. We asked Chris about the warrant out for Twist's arrest ... following the alleged fight at Chris' bro Kyle's house.
At first he played off our photog's question like Lil Twist is a nobody -- but then decided to go HAM with a string of insults, including a shoe shine crack ... which used to be taken as a racist remark. But since that was before Massey's time ... we're guessing that wasn't his intent.
Still, this clip won't sit well with Bieber -- or his shoe guy. JK.
