Snooki's out for blood ... claiming a rival perfume company jacked her trademark scent ... and she wants at least $2.4 million to call it even.

Snooki has filed a lawsuit against Excell Brands in New Jersey, claiming its perfume called "Snazzy" is a blatant rip-off her of her official fragrance called "Snooki."

The former "Jersey Shore" star says Snazzy is so shameless about its trademark infringement, it even says so on the box ... calling itself "our version of Snooki by Nicole Polizzi." She's not lying.

With his junk firmly tucked into a snug mankini, LMFAO frontman Redfoo ran around the beach in Australia this week ... in search of ... pants, maybe?

According to photographers on the scene, Red also knocked out some yoga on Bondi Beach while shooting a new ad for his clothing line.

Fun Fact -- In Australia, mankinis are referred to as "budgie smugglers."

It's worse than the plague ... Justin Bieber's shirtlessness has now spread to his best friends, and chances of survival are slim.

Bieber's pal Lil Twist -- the guy wearing the Jamiroquai hat -- posted the photo on Instagram yesterday, showing just how bad the pandemic has gotten.

We've spoken to several experts who say it's only a matter of time before it spreads to unsuspecting non-douchebags across the country. Board up your windows.

FYI, the photo is also significant because it shows Lil Twist and Bieber are back on good terms after Twist was accused of battering some girl at Bieber's pad earlier this month ... but who cares!!! THIS IS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY!!!

Lindsay Lohan's looking better than she has in years -- but you can still celebrate all her other ups, downs, boyfriends, girlfriends and arrests she's had ... with LiLo trading cards!

Calm down, sickos -- they're not real. Not yet, anyway.

Lady Gaga and Miley Cyrus gyrated, thrusted and she-humped the hell out of the backup dancers at the MTV VMAs last night.

Question is ...

Selena Gomez walked the red carpet at the MTV VMAs moments ago ... sadly half her dress got lost on the way over.

No one bothered to look for it.

MTV rounded up the troops to host an awards show to pay homage to something called a "music video" ... something that hasn't been seen on MTV in a very, very long time.

Still, the stars need an excuse to get together and rock out in wild outfits ... and TMZ has the photos of the craziness as it goes down outside the show!

Miley Cyrus hit the streets of NYC yesterday ... on some sort of fruitless search.

BTW ... we think she looks hot ... ripe for the pickin'.

It's a battle of the most-hated Batmans!

Here's the newly-named caped crusader Ben Affleck (41) with his best Bruce Wayne inspired tuxedo (left) -- and the previously titled worst-winged avenger George Clooney (52) in the same penguin suit (right).

Dear Mexican drug cartels,

Here is Kate Beckinsale ... in a bikini ... in Mexico.

Please don't behead her.

And now, a statement from Brian Wilson's million-dollar beard: "I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH MONEY'S ON THE TABLE ... NOBODY'S CUTTING ME!"

Thank you, Beard.

Despite a flurry of reports the Dodgers pitcher was in negotiations to shave his famous facial hair for a six-figure payday ... Wilson's reps tell TMZ, the Beard was never in jeopardy.

The crew over at MVP Sports Group tells us they never took the razor company's offer seriously because Brian refuses to even trim his trademark, and, in fact ... he's told them the beard is "going with him to the grave."

So, keep calm Blue Crew -- the Beard abides.

Less than a week after celebrating her 55th birthday ... Madonna ventured out in Rome Wednesday wearing a shiny gold grill piece.

2005 called ...

It's a brawl of the Brazilian models!

Ana Beatriz Barros (31) strolled on the beach in Greece with a sexy striped bikini and wild sunglasses yesterday (left) -- while Alessandra Ambrosio (32) wore an even stripier bikini and even wilder sunglasses along side her (right).

Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli is NOT a fan of Pink Floyd, demanding its lead singer Roger Waters remove her photo from his concerts after he called for a boycott against the Holy Land.

FYI, Waters is a vocal supporter of a campaign called Boycott Divestment and Sanctions against Israel (BDS) and even floats a pig-shaped balloon with the Star of David at his shows.

Ironically, Waters' performances also include background video that uses a glamor shot of Bar Refaeli -- and the Israeli smokeshow doesn't like it one bit.

Bar tweeted Wednesday in Hebrew, "Roger Waters, you should remove my picture from videos at your concerts. If you’re going to boycott, then go all the way."

Funny timing, considering Israel and Palestine recently re-engaged in peace talks for the first time in five years.

The best part of Kylie Jenner's Sweet 16 party this weekend? LEAVING ... because on their way out, 150+ guests received insane parting gifts -- in the form of luxury goodie bags valued at over $1000 each -- and TMZ has pics of the loot.

Kylie rung in the big 1-6 this Saturday at the AT&T Building in L.A. with her family and other celebs -- like Drake and Big Sean -- and seeing as she's hitting her peak in life, Kylie naturally pulled out all the stops.

But the parting gifts were the coolest part -- the youngest Kardashian family member handed out swag bags filled with 808 headphones, iPod speakers, Kardashian brand makeup, jewelry from her own jewelry line, gift cards, and a bunch of other crap.

Each bag is valued at more than $1000 a pop -- and with over 150 guests at the shindig, that's a big investment in trinkets.

But it probably didn't come out of Kylie's pocket -- fact is, the Kardashian/Jenner name is such a big deal, vendors undoubtedly donated their stuff for free hoping to get their brands in the press. And congrats, it worked.

Still doesn't beat hosting your Sweet 16 in your uncle's friend's Greek restaurant basement. Opa!
