LIFE IN THE FAST LANE

Justin Bieber got down with the fastest man on Earth to celebrate a movie about the Olympian ... and he was anything but sorry to be partying with the champ.

Bieber was in London Monday night and showed up to an after-party following a screening of "I Am Bolt" -- a documentary about Usain Bolt's journey to the Rio Olympics.

Unclear if the Biebs saw the film itself, but he definitely raged with the man of the hour afterward.

One Direction's Liam Payne was there for the screening and party too, but was reportedly on the opposite side of the room ... meaning he missed out on the Bolt/Bieber selfies.

Nick Young threw a violent temper tantrum after not getting a foul call in a church league basketball game back in August ... and allegedly beat the crap out of an opposing player ... this according to a new lawsuit.

Young is being sued by Luis Solis -- who claims he was playing against the Lakers star in a game on the court at the Shepherd of the Hills church in Porter Ranch, CA on August 18th.

In the court docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, Solis claims Young became "enraged" after he thought Solis fouled him ... and the ref missed the call.

Solis says Young flipped out -- and beat him down to the ground. At that point, a bunch of Nick's teammates jumped in and began to kick him while he was down.

Solis says he suffered serious injuries including a concussion -- and claims it's not the first time Young has gotten violent during pick-up games. We're told Solis has not filed a police report but is contemplating doing so.

He's suing for unspecified damages. We've reached out to Young for comment. So far, no word back.

Snoop Dogg Hey, 2 Chainz ... LAKERS WHOOPED DAT ASS!

Published | Updated

Snoop Dogg was all about the victory trash talk after his Lakers beat up on 2 Chainz's ATL Hawks this weekend ... telling the rapper, "Y'all can't f*** with us!"

The Doggfather made a video in the aftermath of the young Lakers' 109-94 win over the Hawks ... seizing the opportunity to rub it in Tity Boi's face, who had floor seats at the game.

We'd give you some of the quotes here ... but there aren't enough symbols on the keyboard for us to substitute for Snoop's trademark colorful language, so your best bet is just to enjoy the video.

Earmuffs when necessary.

Ex-Rams CB Troy Hill Charged with 4 Misdemeanors ... In DUI Crash Arrest

Published | Updated

Ex-L.A. Rams cornerback Troy Hill has been hit with 4 misdemeanor criminal charges stemming from his Nov. 19 DUI arrest ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... Hill was arrested around 8 AM on a Saturday morning after officials say he swerved over multiple lanes on an L.A. freeway and crashed into a semitruck.

We're told Hill has now been charged with 2 counts of DUI, 1 count of driving on a suspended license and 1 count of driving without a license.

Hill could face jail time if convicted -- but likely won't ... a plea bargain is almost certain. The usual punishment for someone in his shoes is driving privileges suspended, community service, mandatory alcohol education and fines.

Hill has since been cut by the Rams -- despite the fact he was having a pretty good season.

E.D. GOES OFF

4:31PM PT -- Rams C.O.O. Kevin Demoff says Eric Dickerson is NOT banned from the sideline ... and is welcome at Rams games/practice. Demoff says he has reached out to E.D. in an effort to clear up any miscommunication.

Eric Dickerson says he's persona non grata on the L.A. Rams sidelines -- and it's all over criticisms the NFL great made about the team.

The Hall of Famer went on his radio show on AM 570 LA Sports early Monday and said, "Someone with the Rams told me I'm not wanted on sidelines at games, that what I've said makes the players uncomfortable."

Dickerson did not reveal who made the call -- but sources connected to the situation say it was someone powerful.

Dickerson said the Rams official told him his honesty was making players uncomfortable.

We're told Dickerson is unhappy with the situation -- especially because he's not only been a supporter, but hosted the rookies at his home during training camp in his own "rookie symposium."

PUSHIN' HIS BUTTONS

Dwight Howard might have been at the end of his rope when a Lakers fan called him a "bitch" Sunday night -- because just last week, another heckler told him his mother is a "whore."

It all went down on Nov. 23rd after Dwight's ATL Hawks beat the Pacers in Indiana -- when a fan leaned over the tunnel to the locker room and said, "Good game, Dwight. Have a nice evening. Your mother's a whore!"

Dwight clearly heard it -- but turned and walked away.

But fast forward to Sunday night at Staples ... when ANOTHER heckler leaned over to Howard and said, "Kobe all day! Kobe! Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!"

Howard -- who was signing autographs for fans -- handled that heckling situation with a smile and a wave.

Of course, the straw that broke the camel's back went down a few hours later, after the game, when Howard went off on a fan who called him a "bitch."

Hey, a guy can only take so much ...

Usain Bolt Track 'Wasn't Fun Anymore' ... Before 2016 Olympics

Published | Updated

Usain Bolt struggled to get out of bed to train for the 2016 Olympics -- saying the pressure and stress he was under took the fun out of running.

The Jamaican track legend opened up about his struggles at the premiere of "I Am Bolt" -- the new documentary about his life.

"The workload I had leading up to the Olympics and even at the 2015 World Championships meant there was so much pressure and stress that it just wasn’t fun anymore," Bolt said.

Of course, Bolt powered through it and won 3 gold medals in Rio -- and now he's back to his old self.

“Now that the pressure is gone I’m much more relaxed and happy to go to training because I know it’s not going to be so intense anymore."

Bolt is gearing up for the 2017 World Championships in London ... and says he'll finally hang up his spikes after that.

But it might not be the end of Bolt's athletic career -- he says he plans to train with the German soccer team, Borussia Dortmund, at the end of the 2017-18 season.

"It’s something I always wanted to try to see if I was any good at ... I will do a little training to see whether I am worthy."

Eagles' Nigel Bradham Sued Over Alleged Beach Beatdown ... You Obliterated My Face!

Published | Updated

It was only a matter of time ... but now the hotel worker who claims he was brutally attacked by Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham is suing the NFL star.

As we previously reported, Bradham was arrested in July after allegedly beating the living crap out of a staffer at the Hilton Bentley in South Beach, Miami.

In his lawsuit, the staffer -- a 50-year-old Haitian man -- says he was setting up beach umbrellas for Bradham and his team when the NFL star got upset at what he perceived as "slow service."

The accuser claims Bradham socked him in the face for no reason and then "violently tackled [him] to the ground" where he continued to bash in the guy's face.

The accuser says the beating finally stopped when bystanders began shouting they were calling the police ... and Bradham and his crew fled the scene.

The accuser says he suffered major injuries -- including a concussion, cuts, back pain, a broken eye socket and a broken nose. He's already undergone 2 surgeries to fix the damage.

Bradham was later charged with felony battery and faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. He has pled not guilty in the criminal case.
