Paul Pierce has been formally hit with two criminal charges stemming from his arrest in Los Angeles earlier this month, TMZ Sports has learned.

Court records we've obtained show prosecutors charged the NBA legend with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol and one count of driving with .08% blood alcohol content ... just 14 days after he was taken into custody on suspicion of DUI.

Pierce, you'll recall, was accused of wrongdoing by cops back on Oct. 7 -- after he had allegedly fallen asleep at the wheel of his Range Rover SUV while in standstill traffic on an L.A. freeway.

The video shows walls of clouds forming a cylinder as the plane flies through the eye ... and DeHart says, "As clear of an eye as you will see in the Atlantic basin."

Dylan tells us he's all good now and the broken nose was just an accident from a rehearsal with 'DWTS' pro Daniella Karagach.

TMZ got the clip -- and it all popped off outside the restroom at the Unruly Agency/Memehouse Productions bash at CBS Studios Saturday night ... where a pirate-clad partygoer was caught shoving a blonde dressed as Buzz Lightyear, who spun around in shock and snapped, "Bro, what the f**?"

Buzz’s sidekick -- rocking a look inspired by Jessie from Toy story -- then came in swinging, smacking the pirate right in the face... only for the pirate to fire back with some serious, adrenaline-fueled shots of her own.

George Clooney was reportedly "boiling with anger" after reading scandalous claims made against him in Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir ... according to OK!

They insisted, "He has never met Ghislaine Maxwell in his life, and he's horrified his name has been dragged into this."

Sunbeam's heated mattress pad caused severe burns to a guy just trying to get a good night's sleep ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

Kenneth Leland Morgan -- the man who allegedly dressed in a Nazi costume before striking a University of Georgia student with a beer stein -- posed for his mugshot in an orange jumpsuit after being stripped of his now infamous Gestapo costume.

TMZ has obtained a booking photo of Morgan, and based on his expression ... he doesn't look too thrilled to be locked up in the Athens-Clarke County slammer while wearing scrubs issued by the jail. It's unclear what exactly happened to his neatly pressed Gestapo uniform, but we imagine the jail took custody of it for the time being.

According to legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Morgan's been charged with felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor simple battery.

Bam Margera is tapping into his own past while weighing in on Britney Spears’ situation ... telling TMZ he’s more than willing to help the pop star if she ever needs a hand.

We caught up with Bam Monday in L.A., where he told us ... back when he was getting treatment at Lamar Odom's rehab clinic, Britney actually lived down the street, and he's considering knocking on her door to offer assistance.

Watch the clip, because Bam makes it clear it’s not really him who could help Britney, but his wife, Dannii Marie -- a stretch coach/nutritionist who laid down the law with him, saying if he drank alcohol, it was basically the same as cheating
