Marie Osmond's late son, Michael Bryan, told his roommates that he believed a former girlfriend had drugged him to the point he blacked out three days before he jumped to his death .... sources tell TMZ.
We're told Michael's roommates told law enforcement they planned on going out with Michael three nights before he died ... but he told them he couldn't go because he had made plans.
Sources say Michael didn't come back to the apartment that night. He returned home and told his roommates an ex-girlfriend had contacted him, saying she was in town. Michael told his roommates he had blacked out and eventually awakened, only to find himself laying in a street several blocks from his apartment. Michael told his roommates he believed the ex-girlfriend had drugged him.
The roommates told law enforcement Michael had been sick for the next two days ... up to the time he died.
We're told law enforcement contacted the ex-girlfriend, who says she wasn't even in town the night Michael claimed she drugged him.
The L.A. County Coroner's Office is awaiting toxicology reports to determine if drugs were in Michael's system when he died.

TMZ has learned Jesse James' ex-wife, Janine Lindemulder, is going to court to wrestle custody from Jesse ... and the trigger was the Michelle McGee/Sandra Bullock meltdown.
We've learned Janine has filed legal papers in their custody case involving six-year-old daughter Sunny. Currently Jesse has full custody of Sunny. Janine lives in a halfway house, after being locked up for tax evasion.
We're told until this week Janine knew she didn't stand a chance of gaining even partial custody from Jesse. She felt Sandra Bullock was such a stabilizing family influence, a judge would shut her down.
But Janie now believes Sandra will divorce Jesse and she feels she has a shot at getting some custodial rights.
Her court date is set for June 14.

Octomom Nadya Suleman received a very nice letter from someone who says he is truly sorry her house may go into foreclosure and, he says, "I can only imaging the anxiety that this must be causing you and your family." But this guy isn't just talk ... he's willing to pay off her home if Octo stars in a sex tape.
TMZ has obtained a letter from Steven Hirsch, Prez of Vivid Entertainment, to Octomom, in which he offers to pay off the balance due on the house -- around $460,00 -- if she's willing to take it lying down.
As we first reported, the person who sold Octo and her dad the La Habra, CA home says he'll initiate foreclosure proceedings if she doesn't caught up the $460k by the end of business on Tuesday.
Hirsh writes in the letter, dated March 20, "We have extensive experience in working with beautiful and sexy women." Hirsch cites Kim Kardashian, Shauna Sand, and former Miss USA Kelli McCarty.
No word from Octomom on what could surely be a star turn.

At least he actually answered questions this time.
UPDATE: Here are some highlights of Tiger on the Golf Channel. A lot of the same stuff, but a few different parts.

TMZ has learned there is a photo of Jesse James making the rounds and in it he is wearing a hat that looks identical to the one Michelle McGee is wearing in her Nazi photos ... and he is making the Nazi salute.
We've seen the photo -- which reportedly was taken two years ago -- and there is no mistaking it's Jesse. The hat Jesse is wearing is nearly identical to the one Michelle has on in the infamous photos, except for the rope across the front (see above).
The woman selling the photo told TMZ she didn't actually take the pic -- it belonged to a friend who worked with Jesse and the friend does not know she is selling it.

A paramedic report in the Michael Jackson case reportedly says Dr. Conrad Murray withheld a key fact from the EMTs -- that he had administered Propofol to the singer.
The report, published by News of the World, states what TMZ has previously reported -- that paramedics felt Jackson was dead when they got to the singer's home but Dr. Murray, as the senior medical professional present, demanded that Jackson be taken to the hospital.
According to the report, Jackson had flatlined by the time paramedics arrived at the house, and he had no blood pressure, pulse or breath, and his pupils were dilated.
According to the report, Dr. Murray told paramedics Jackson was exhausted because he couldn't fall asleep and he had given Jackson Lorazepam -- a sedative. Omitting the fact that Dr. Murray gave Jackson Propofol is no doubt something the paramedics should have known about and will almost certainly be used by prosecutors in the trial.

A sliver of good news for Jesse James -- if Sandra Bullock divorces him, it can't possibly get as ugly as the violent break-up of his prior marriage.
TMZ has obtained legal docs in Jesse's divorce from Janine Lindemulder. James filed several declarations, accusing Janine of various acts of brutality -- including punching him, bludgeoning him in the back of the head with a flowerpot, swinging a steel bone sculpture at him, trying to run him over with her car, socking him in the eyeball because he used her parking space, and going Naomi Campbell on him with a cellphone.
James says on one occasion, when Janine was pregnant, she began hitting and chasing him in their bedroom, and he grabbed her by the hair to hold her at bay.
Bullock will probably choose to bludgeon Jesse with a Beverly Hills lawyer.
