The members of Motley Crue have filed yet another lawsuit against their management, once again claiming they're the victims of a major money and power grab.
In the lawsuit, filed today in LA County Superior Court, band members say manager Burt Stein and his management companies were supposed to watch their back -- but instead took money and made backroom deals without their permission in order to cash in on the band's popularity.
If this sounds familiar, it is. Last year the band sued another manager, essentially alleging the same thing. That case was settled.
We couldn't reach Stein for comment.

TMZ has obtained a copy of a demand letter from Gina Gershon to Vanity Fair. Make no mistake - she's pissssed.
Vanity Fair just published a pretty scandalous story about Prez Bill Clinton. The demand letter claims the article "outrageously insinuates that Ms. Gershon has had an inappropriate sexual relationship with President Clinton. This is absolutely false."
The letter demands "a retraction and correction."
Gershon's lawyers from the bulldog firm Lavely & Singer noted that "Gershon has only been in the same room as President Clinton on three occasions," all with many others present. The lawyers take a shot at Vanity Fair, claiming, "Rumor-mongering was substituted for fact-checking."

That bombshell witness finally took the stand in the R. Kelly kiddie-porn trial -- and she said he's a baller!
Lisa Van Allen testified she and the Prince of Pee got down and dirty on film with the alleged victim on his personal b-ball court in Chicago when she was only 17, and she added that they did it in his log cabin-ish basement.
Of course, Van Allen's testimony took a big blow when she revealed that she sold the tape they made back to R.'s business manager for $20K. The defense gets its turn today.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is a multi-millionaire mogul who leads a life most can only dream of. So why is he pissed off at a rinky-dink website that sells cufflinks?
We're told Diddy unleashed his big-time lawyers on a website called Cuff-Daddy.com, a small, family-owned cufflink seller. They fired off a letter telling them that the business' name was way too similar to his. Wait -- didn't he change his name to Diddy years ago?
We hear the business gets its name from the owner of the company -- he's just a proud dad who sells cufflinks.
The owner of the company tells us they are going to post a disclaimer on the site to minimize any confusion about the name. They also say they hope to resolve this with Diddy's lawyers as quickly as possible, and are in no way trading on his name-- they're just trying to run their small business.
Reps for Combs did not return our calls for comment.

Eddie Griffin's rep has just fired back at the guy who is suing the comedian for an alleged racially-charged ass-whoopin'.
The rep says, "We cannot comment on the details of on-going litigation, except to say that this claim is completely absurd and that it will be shown in time to be without merit."
In the suit, Vince Beane claims he was a production manager on a Griffin pilot when Eddie allegedly flipped out after Beane booked a cheap hotel for the star and his mom. Eddie allegedly said his mom was treated "like a slave nigga" and then allegedly beat him up.
