Justin Bieber's Pal I'm No Coke Smuggler... I'm Just a Mogul!

Justin Bieber's pal --and prolific music
producer --Jason "Pooh Bear" Boyd is
blasting reports insinuating he's
involved in international cocaine
smuggling and corrupting the
Biebs.Boyd tells TMZ ... he's NEVER
been a drug seller in any "way, shape,
form or fashion." As for what Boyd
was holding in the Instagram pic
Justin posted Tuesday ... he's scoffing
at reports that it's white powder.
Boyd says it's actually a piece of FRUIT
-- a slice of LIME.And one more
thing ... Photos surfaced this week
showing Boyd with government
officials in Suriname. One of the
officials had a drug conviction.  Boyd
says it was all just a photo op
connected to a Rick Ross rap concert
in the country ... a concert he
produced.Check out the video and
judge for yourself.

'Duck Dynasty' Stars Preaching in Church -- We're Hunting for Salvation

Here's something you probably didn't
know: the stars of "Duck Dynasty" are
hardcore Christian evangelists who
frequently preach at their local
church ... and TMZ has video of some
of last weekend's sermons.A ministry
assistant at White's Ferry Road Church
of Christ in West Monroe, LA tells TMZ,
Phil Robertson and his family have
been active at the church for more
than 30 years.We're told Phil regularly
gives fiery sermons -- but last
weekend, the entire family joined in,
when the church celebrated Duck
Commander Sunday ... a yearly
tradition where the entire Robertson
family preaches to the congregation in
full camo (not kidding).Funny... we're
told the Duck Commander Sunday
tradition existed long before the A&E
reality show.You gotta listen to the
video ... these guys are intense.

Justin Bieber Attacked at Nightclub

Justin Bieber was bum rushed in a
Canadian nightclub by an over eager
partier who tried in vain to tackle him
-- and TMZ has the pics. It all went
down at 3 am today at a Toronto
nightclub. Sources on scene tell us JB
left his safe VIP section to mingle with
the regular folk -- and that's when a
male clubgoer charged at him, got
hold of his shirt (which he was
wearing) and attempted to take him
down, but failed. Which makes
sense ... have you seen Bieber's abs?
Of course you have. In the pics ... you
can see security rushed in stat
(below) and managed to pull the guy
off Bieber -- successfully taking him to
the ground. In the midst of the chaos
we're told JB was seen trying to
defend himself, unleashing a fury of
kicks. The attacker was escorted out of
he club. Police were never called. JB
and his crew also made a hasty
retreat.
