All the talk of celebrities being caught on video participating in Diddy‘s “Freak-Offs” is BS — so says Diddy’s lawyer, Teny Geragos, who came out swinging on TMZ’s “2 Angry Men” podcast.

Geragos flatly told Harvey and her dad, Mark Geragos, no celebs are on any of the tapes seized by the feds during the raids at Diddy’s homes.

Likewise, Teny says none of the criminal charges against Diddy involve minors … something that has gotten a tremendous amount of play in the media. She says the media has gotten this case utterly wrong.

There have been allegations of Diddy sexually abusing minors in civil cases, and Teny has a lot to say about that … and to say she has disdain for some of the civil lawyers would be a gross understatement.

Teny zeroes in on attorney Tony Buzbee, who has filed a slew of civil cases against Diddy. She scoffs at his first news conference, saying he was ambulance chasing by putting a 1-800 number behind the podium in an attempt to recruit clients.

Harvey asks her why Hollywood has been so incredibly silent when it comes to Diddy, and she was locked and loaded, saying Buzbee made it clear he was going to leverage Diddy to get other celebs to open their wallets out of fear if they didn’t, he’d file a public lawsuit and ruin them. She notes there’s at least one lawsuit against Buzbee alleging extortion.

Check out the full podcast … Teny makes it clear, Diddy and his legal team are fighting back with defamation lawsuits and they will keep coming when baseless allegations are publicized.

David Johansen, the frontman for proto-punk band New York Dolls and actor known for his work in the Bill Murray classic “Scrooged,” has died.

Johansen died Friday at his New York home … his death was confirmed by his stepdaughter, Leah Hennessey to multiple outlets.

The iconic rocker with a deep, gravelly voice announced last month he was suffering from stage four cancer, a brain tumor and a broken back — although his cause of death has not been announced.

Then in 2004, New York Dolls reunited … with Johansen, Sylvain Sylvain and Arthur Kane releasing three albums and touring.

Johansen dabbled in acting … and is best known for playing the Ghost of Christmas Past in the ’80s holiday classic “Scrooged.”

David is survived by his wife, Mara Hennessey, and his stepdaughter, Leah.

He was 75.

Gene Hackman shockingly does not have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for fans to grieve their loss … but there is a restaurant in New Mexico where some are paying their respects to the legend.

Doug Lanham, a close friend and former business partner, tells TMZ … fans have begun dropping off notes and flowers to his Santa Fe restaurant Jinja Bar & Bistro … which was co-owned by Hackman for several years after he walked away from Hollywood a two-time Oscar winner and film icon.

In addition to being regarded as one of the best actors to ever grace the silver screen … Hackman was also a prolific painter — and did nearly all the amazing work that hangs from Jinja’s walls.

As we previously reported … despite leaving the restaurant industry, Doug says Gene would often come by for a meal — and usually pick up the tab for customers.

Doug remembers Gene as a jokester who would play silly little tricks on him … like putting his finger to Doug’s back and telling him to “reach for the stars” — pretty hilarious given Gene won an Oscar for the western flick, “Unforgiven.”

Gene and his wife Betsy were found dead in their home Wednesday — and an investigation into just what happened is ongoing. Santa Fe authorities said on Friday Gene’s pacemaker showed its last event was on February 17 … making investigators believe that’s when he died.

Gene was 95 … Betsy was 65.
