Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz let the music take control at Coachella ... vibing with one another while artists took the stage -- and leaning in to suck a little face.

The two stars were spotted hanging out at the popular music festival in the desert on Friday ... and, they were spotted smooching up a storm -- leaving the rest of the crowd behind and enjoying their own private moment in public.

Beckham and Peltz are clearly very much in love ... putting on a united front in public -- support Brooklyn definitely needs now while he feuds with his little brother Romeo.

Scott Shriner and the rest of Weezer are living embodiments of the axiom "the show must go on" ... 'cause they performed at Coachella mere days after Shriner's wife was arrested.

The beloved rock band hopped up to perform at the popular music festival in Indio Saturday ... and, they played some of the hits -- belting out songs like "My Name is Jonas" and "Hash Pipe."

Watch the clip ... Shriner looks focused on the music -- shredding alongside Rivers Cuomo onstage, a significant achievement given the difficult position his wife is in.

Diddy is taking a page from O.J. Simpson's playbook and assembling a dream team of lawyers to defend him at his upcoming trial ... but don't ask Mark Geragos about making the cut and taking the reins.

In the latest episode of the "2 Angry Men" podcast Harvey Levin asks Mark about a fact we've known about for weeks ... that Geragos is going to have a significant role in Diddy's case when it goes to trial next month in New York.

Mark does everything he can to deflect ... changing the subject, bantering with Harvey and then shifting the focus to turn this into competition of who has more people over to their homes.

Spoiler ... it's Mark by a landslide, and Harvey's got an admission of guilt when it comes to peeing in some bushes.

But the big story here is we've learned Mark is going to tackle the Diddy case and defend him in court ... we've known about this for three weeks and just brought it up to Mark now, and ya gotta see how he deflects.

Mark joined the podcast after scoring a legal win in court on behalf of the Menendez Brothers ... and while he tells us he's been busy working for Erik and Lyle, we know Geragos can multi task with the best of them.

Nathan Hochman and his team of prosecutors presented their case to the judge for withdrawing the petition to resentence Erik and Lyle -- a petition that was filed by the previous D.A. George Gascon, and which the newly elected Hochman vehemently opposes.

The brothers -- wearing prison blues -- were seen on a video screen in court, and visibly reacted as prosecutors repeatedly stated that they had not changed since their conviction ... because they never admitted their claim they purchased guns in fear for their lives was a lie.

12:53 PM PT -- The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office confirmed in a news release Friday the use-of-force incident is under investigation. Officials said deputies were responding to multiple reports of a man walking in traffic and making obscene gestures at drivers Thursday night. The suspect, identified as Le Chau, allegedly began fighting with the female deputy who was first to arrive and who tried to handcuff the man. The fight went to the ground, and a second arriving deputy helped detain the suspect ... who allegedly ignored requests to stop resisting and fighting, resulting in the strikes to his head.

Chau was handcuffed and then treated at a hospital. When he was later booked for resisting an officer with force or violence, battery on a police officer, and disturbing the peace by intoxication, officials say, he again "initiated a physical confrontation" with deputies, resulting in more charges. The Sheriff's Office says Chau has been arrested more than 20 times since 2014, with multiple convictions for resisting an officer.

Law enforcement in Louisiana used a suspect's head as a punching bag during an arrest in broad daylight on a public street -- and the vicious beatdown was all caught on video.

Check out the wild footage, obtained by TMZ ... two cops are trying to restrain the man who is lying on his side on the the ground in Harvey, LA, in the New Orleans metro area, around 6:30 PM Thursday.

As you can see ... one the officers is kneeling down to cuff the man while the other cop is standing over him during the struggle.

At one point, Cooper -- wearing shades and a gray sweater -- stopped to talk to Erik's wife, Tammi Menendez, and Erik's adopted daughter, Talia Menendez.
