Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and the L.A. Lakers have been sued by a company that says they all used knockoffs of their big screen in concert.
Large Audience Display Systems claims in a federal lawsuit in Texas, obtained by TMZ, the concerts in question included a large audience display screen that was identical to their patented, gigantic monitors.
Britney uses the screen on her "Circus" tour. Justin used the monitors on his "FutureSex/LoveShow" tour.
Also sued: The Pussycat Dolls for using the screens as well.
The company wants an injunction prohibiting the defendants from using knockoffs in the future, as well as unspecified damages.

Justin Timberlake says the woman who has been harassing him has become so threatening, "I fear for my personal safety," according to the declaration Timberlake submitted to a judge today.
A judge had ordered JT to appear in court, but his lawyer, Marty Singer, convinced the judge the declaration should suffice. Timberlake called the conduct of the woman in question -- Karen McNeil -- "ever-increasing, aggressive and harassing."
JT says McNeil's trespassing on his property was "seriously alarming."
The judge granted a permanent restraining order, which prohibits McNeil from having any direct or indirect contact with Timberlake.

Justin Timberlake didn't show to court this afternoon -- but he still got the permanent restraining order he was after.
Karen McNeil was ordered to stay 100 yards away from JT, his home and his vehicle. She is not allowed to contact him -- directly or indirectly.
Justin's lawyer, Marty Singer, gave the judge a written declaration from his client that apparently was good enough for the judge, who had requested a courtroom cameo earlier today.
McNeil testified for a bit, as did a few of JT's security guards.

Justin Timberlake needs to tell it to the judge himself, in order to make a temporary restraining order against a harassing fan permanent.
L.A. County Superior Court Judge David Cunningham just told Justin's lawyer the star must make his case against Karen McNeil by personally testifying.
Justin's lawyer, legal pit bull Marty Singer, was furious, saying McNeil has violated the TRO 10 times already. And besides, Singer says, Justin is filming a movie and has a contract requiring him to be there.
The judge was unmoved, saying it's unfair to make a common working man appear in court but not a high-profile type who has a high-paying gig.
The judge told Singer he wants him to get in touch with Justin and have him on stand-by.
UPDATE 4:45 PM PT -- Court is back in session and no JT in sight. McNeil herself will take the stand and Justin's lawyers will submit a declaration on JT's behalf.
UPDATE 5:15 PM PT -- McNeil has been testifying for some time now. She says she won't continue to bother JT because she's had enough of arrogant, rich men. Child, haven't we all?

The woman accused of stalking Justin Timberlake believes she is a god -- and claims she tracked down the singer because she wants him to "rule" with her.
It's all scattered in legal documents which Karen McNeil filed today in L.A. County Superior Court in response to the restraining order Justin asked for -- and got -- after she showed up to his L.A. home.
In the nonsensical ramblings, Karen states that she has been targeted by "Babylon witches" who seek to cast their "evil" on her.
In the docs, Karen also mentions several other famous musicians who have also landed a restraining order against her -- including Axl Rose and the guys from Metallica.
Timberlake had argued that McNeil is an "obsessed mentally unstable celebrity stalker, who [Timberlake] does not personally know."
Last week, a judge granted his request for a restraining order against her.

Sad but true ... the woman accused of stalking Justin Timberlake has already been banned from getting anywhere close to the boys from Metallica -- the rockers got a restraining order against her back in March.
The docs were filed in L.A. County Superior Court by drummer Lars Ulrich, who requested Karen Jane McNeil stay at least 150 yards away from all of the members of the band, their families and the people who run the Metallica fan club.
Timberlake was granted a restraining order against McNeil last week after claiming she had been coming to his home, entering through the gate and refusing to leave.
Axl Rose also had issues with McNeil beginning in 1995 -- she was eventually sentenced to a year in prison for violating a court order to stay away from the G 'N' R frontman.

The woman accused of "stalking" Justin Timberlake has a Guns N' Roses connection -- a judge had already banned her from getting near Axl Rose.
Karen McNeil, who Justin calls an "obsessed mentally unstable celebrity stalker," was already sentenced to a year in prison after repeatedly disobeying a court order banning her from coming within 300 yards of Axl's property.
At the time, she told officials she was the Guns N' Roses frontman's wife and communicated with him telepathically.
The pestering didn't stop with jail though -- McNeil reportedly continued to send Axl letters from behind bars.

TMZ has learned Justin Timberlake has filed a restraining order in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
We're told Karen McNeil has come to his Los Angeles house on several occasions -- including yesterday -- by entering through the gate.
She always comes to the house in a cab. Yesterday, when she came to the house, she wouldn't leave so his staff called the cops and she was arrested.
Story developing...

Unbroken up lovers Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel raised their body heat and stayed close to each other after lunch in Vancouver on Wednesday.
Nothing says we're still a couple like matching ripped jeans ... and walking arm in arm.

Mount Kilimanjaro is in for the best week of its life -- it's about to get scaled up by 2 of the hottest chicks on the planet ... at the same time.
Jessica Biel and "Transformers" hottie Isabel Lucas have just committed to go to Tanzania to conquer Africa's highest peak in early January ... and of course, it's all for a good cause.
The two are part of a program called Summit on the Summit -- an effort to raise awareness for clean water. There's a rumor that Biel's BF, Justin Tiimberlake will also join in on the climb ... but really, that would seriously screw up the ratio.

Can you spot what's missing in this picture? How about the leash around Jessica Biel's pit bull, Tina!
Though Jess held tight to Justin Timberlake's two boxers as she left Runyon Canyon yesterday, a third leash for her own pooch was mysteriously absent.
According to Pit Bull Rescue Central, the stakes are "always higher" with this kind of dog, and "while they may not instigate a fight, they won't back down from a challenge."

The Justin Timberlake movie "Alpha Dog" finally has an ending ... the guy it was based on was just convicted of the kidnap and murder of the kid who died in the movie.
Today a jury decided Jesse James Hollywood was the mastermind behind 15-year-old Nicholas Markowitz's death, which happened in West Hills, CA back in August of 2000. He was convicted of first-degree murder and kidnapping.
Hollywood could get the death penalty.

We just heard from Justin Timberlake, who tells us:
I can't find the words right now to express how deeply sadden [sic] I am by Michael's passing. We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music, but of all music. He has been an inspiration to multiple generations and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about music from him and the time we spent together. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.
Timberlake has referred to Michael Jackson as his Idol in the past.
