Colin Stough, the 20-year-old “American Idol” fan-favorite, has been arrested for alleged drunk driving in Tennessee after a car crash, TMZ has learned.

Authorities tell us … Colin was taken into custody early Friday after highway patrol responded to a single-vehicle crash on I-840 East near the 37-mile marker in Williamson County, which is just outside of Nashville.

Colin was arrested and charged with DUI, underage consumption of alcohol, and failure to exercise due care, TMZ is told. It was not clear if he suffered any injuries in the crash, but he was taken to the hospital and cleared before he was booked. He has since bailed out.

Idol fans remember Colin from season 21 when he placed third behind winner Iam Tongi and runner-up Megan Danielle back in 2023.

Just 18 when he auditioned for “American Idol” … Colin blew away judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan when he auditioned with Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man.”

Seems Elon Musk is truly going to colonize Mars … even if he has to do it himself, ’cause the tech mogul just welcomed his 14 child!

Elon helped break the news Friday along with Shivon Zilis, with whom the billionaire already had three children.

SZ made the announcement on X, naturally, saying … “Discussed with Elon and, in light of beautiful Arcadia’s birthday, we felt it was better to also just share directly about our wonderful and incredible son Seldon Lycurgus. Built like a juggernaut, with a solid heart of gold. Love him so much ♥️.”

As TMZ previously reported … Ashley St. Clair sued Elon last week, requesting sole custody of the child she alleges they had together, who goes by R.S.C. … who Elon has yet to publicly acknowledge as his.

The 26-year-old claims Musk wanted to keep the baby news quiet … and she alleges Elon has seen the baby boy only three times since the child was born sometime in September.

Ashley makes it clear in her suit Elon has had nothing to do with the baby’s care and upbringing … and recently told TMZ Elon has allegedly ghosted her completely since she went public with the baby news.

And if that weren’t enough baby mama drama … around the same time as the lawsuit, Musk’s former partner and mother of three of his children, singer-songwriter Grimes, pleaded with him on X to stop ignoring their child’s “medical crisis.”

Marshmello has felt “Happier” than he does right now … ’cause cops say thieves broke into his Los Angeles home earlier this week.

We’re told Marshmello’s security came to his crib Thursday afternoon and found the house ransacked … and when they watched the security system video, they saw the hit went down Tuesday.

Law enforcement tells TMZ the burglars made off with a safe. The LAPD responded and took a burglary report.
