Details of Cee Lo Sexual Assault Accusation Surface
(TMZ) The woman accusing Cee Lo of sexual assault has told police ... "The Voice" judge attacked her inside a popular L.A. sushi restaurant ... TMZ has learned.

As we first reported, the LAPD has launched an investigation into the woman's allegations. Sources tell us, detectives went to the restaurant last week and interviewed several employees, including the manager, to determine if anyone saw the alleged attack.

We're told the accuser is NOT an employee of the restaurant ...she's someone Cee Lo brought to dinner.

Cee Lo tells us the woman's claims are not true and that he hasn't been to the restaurant for 3 months.

Our sources say, the accuser told cops the alleged incident occurred several months ago. It's unclear why she waited so long to file a police report. more on this story

Doctor Grounds Lil Wayne Following Medical Emergency
(TMZ) Lil Wayne is under strict orders from his doctor to stay off airplanes for the foreseeable future ... after his mid-flight medical emergency last week, TMZ has learned.

We broke the story ... Weezy was hospitalized Friday following two seizure-like episodes on board back-to-back flights.

He's been recovering since at his mama's house -- but sources close to the rapper tell us, Weezy's doctor has ordered him to rest for the next week at least ... which means no working, and definitely no flying.

We're told Wayne's been to the doctor twice since his hospitalization and has nurses coming to check on him regularly.

The rapper's telling friends he feels the seizures were a result of working himself too hard after his jail stint -- and has been calling the health scare a "life-changing event" and an "eye-opener."

We're told Weezy is planning to return to his Miami home shortly -- but he won't be taking a plane ... he'll be traveling inside a luxury bus. more on this story

The Black Keys' Auerbach Produces Song For TV's Nashville
(Gibson) The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach has produced a track for a forthcoming episode of TV's country-music drama, Nashville.

Auerbach manned the boards for "Bitter Memory," an unreleased Lucinda Williams tune performed on the show by actress Connie Britton's character, Rayna Jaymes, according to Rolling Stone. "We wanted a wild producer," said guitarist Buddy Miller, who's overseeing the show's original music along with executive producer T Bone Burnett.

Miller went on to say three versions of the song were cut – a "writing" version, a rockabilly version and a version played on an Omnichord. "What TV show is gonna have an Omnichord in it?" Miller joked. "I mean, that probably doesn't happen that much in Nashville, but then, on the other hand, it probably happens more [there] than it does anywhere else is the world." The production gig is one of many Auerbach has taken on this year, including work on Dr. John's latest CD, Locked Down, and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' The Lion the Beast the Beat. more on this story

Michael Lohan Helped Send Octomom To Rehab
(TMZ) He failed miserably at getting Lindsay Lohan to enter rehab -- but Michael Lohan was one of the main reasons Octomom is now getting help for drug abuse ... because he personally arranged for her treatment program ... TMZ has learned.

Michael tells us, he's been running a nonprofit organization based in Florida for the last nine months that stages interventions for people in need of substance abuse treatment ... and so far, he's already performed over 25.

Sources close to Michael tell us, Octomom's manager recently voiced her concerns to him about the mother of 14's Xanax dependency -- so Michael decided to take action last week, making arrangements for Octomom's treatment program.

According to sources, Octomom's team -- with Michael's help -- then staged an intervention, and Octo agreed to get help.

Michael tells us, "The most important thing is the willingness to realize and surrender to the issue and commit to getting help, which Nadya did!"

He adds, "If it wasn't for her manager Gina, my good friend, Tim Chapman at the Chapman house/Teen savers and Gina's daughter, this would not have been possible. They deserve a lot of credit!"

Octo's currently in a 30-day in-patient program, but she still gets to call her kids twice a day. more on this story

(TMZ) San Francisco Giants fans got their wish ... the "good luck" monkey -- whose birth coincided with a string of Giants victories -- WILL be named after one the World Series winning players, and TMZ has learned who gets the honor.

Sergio (the monkey) rose to fame during the NLCS -- when the Giants went on a 3-game winning streak right after its birth.

Fans claimed Sergio's miraculous birth was responsible for the Giants' wins -- and demanded the zoo name the "Lucky Langur" after a current Giants player.
