Twitch Remove Teddy Riley Concert Or Else!!!

Published

Twitch and Amazon have just been accused of intentionally and maliciously screwing with Omnis and Teddy Riley.

Jeff Bezos' companies -- yes, Amazon owns Twitch too -- are accused of blatantly ripping off Teddy's streamed concert April 2 on the Omnis internet platform by taking the entire event and putting it on Twitch.

The folks at Omnis have fired off a cease-and-desist letter to the Twitch folks, demanding they put a quick stop to the whole stealing thing.

According to the letter, obtained by TMZ ... "We further understand that Twitch and its affiliated companies, including Amazon.com, Inc., were fully aware of [Omnis'] rights in the Program at the time it was streamed, and that its infringement ... may have been intentional and in malicious disregard of [Omnis'] streaming platform.

The letter demands that Twitch take down Teddy's concert -- Teddy Riley & Blackstreet a Quarantine House Party -- and fork over any profits, or else a lawsuit's comin'.

Lori Loughlin Judge Calls FBI Alleged Misconduct 'Serious and Disturbing'

Published | Updated

Lori Loughlin just got a signal from the judge in her college admissions criminal case -- that the judge is about to open a can of whup-ass on prosecutors for allegedly coaching a key figure in the case to lie.

The judge just ordered prosecutors to get real over something prosecutors allegedly hid for months, but finally surfaced. TMZ broke the story, Lori claimed in documents that FBI agents were browbeating scammer and ringleader Rick Singer to lie, and when he wouldn't they screamed at him. Singer had told agents the money Lori and others paid were donations, but he claimed that agents -- including one named Liz -- told him he should say the money these parents paid were bribes. When he resisted, he says the started screaming at him.

The judge called the allegations "serious and disturbing," adding, "While government agents are permitted to coach a cooperating witness during the course of an investigation, they are not permitted to suborn the commission of a crime." The crime to which the judge refers is clearly that if Singer swore that which was not true, it would amount to perjury.

The judge is asking for answers from prosecutors. As we reported, Lori says they acted so corruptly, she wants the judge to dismiss the case outright.

Published | Updated

Ranjit Chowdhry -- best known in the U.S. for playing Vikram on "The Office" -- has died in India ... according to reports.

He wrote the screenplay for the 1991 film, "Sam & Me" before becoming a successful character actor in the '90s.

His other credits include "Prison Break," the Queen Latifah movie "Last Holiday," and most recently ... a guest spot on "Law & Order: SVU" in 2013.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Check Out My Palisades Pad ... Yours For $4.2 Million

Published

Jennifer Love Hewitt is selling her Pacific Palisades home, and the palatial pad can be yours ... if you're ready and willing to break the bank.

The "9-1-1" star just put the home on the market for a cool $4,199,000 ... and the pics of the property are amazing.

JLH's former estate is tucked away in the picturesque neighborhood of El Medio Bluffs in fancy schmancy Pacific Palisades ... and it's 3,160 square feet of pure luxury, making it the perfect space to shelter in place.

The contemporary-style pad has 4 bedrooms in an open floor plan, and it's hard to miss with the wood-paneled siding and butterfly-style roof. The backyard is very zen, with a waterfall, pool, fire pit and outdoor fireplace surrounded by bamboo.

The master suite has an expansive closet and dressing room, and the suite leads to a private patio. The spacious main floor is surrounded by glass doors, offering pretty views of the surrounding bluffs and cool ocean breezes.

There's also high ceilings with steel and glass accents, plus an ultra-modern chef's kitchen with a large wine fridge.

Jennifer just bought a bigger property in Pacific Palisades for $6 million, so it makes sense she would list her old pad, which she bought back in 2013 for $3.25 mil.

Stamie Karakasidis of Rodeo Realty has the listing.

Please understand, give the family time to grieve, but know that Steve is no longer in pain."

Steve was open with his fans about his mental health battles. Back in September, someone replied to one of his posts saying, "You've been so active on social media lately that at first I thought you were hacked."

Steve replied, "Nah, just bipolar. I'm on a manic up right now. When I go back into depression I'll vacate everything."

He started his sketch comedy series (think "Garfield") on YouTube in November 2007. He voiced every episode in which he talks to his cats as if they were humans. The short but popular videos drew tons of fans ... with 2.43 million subscribers.

In nearly two decades, Steve racked up more than 770 MILLION views and counting. His most popular video is the "Bad! Bad! Bad!" episode from 4 years ago ... with 17 million views. His last video was posted on December 30.

Steve was 40. RIP
