The jogger who rock legend David Crosby hit with his car ... is getting $3 million to settle a lawsuit.

Jose Luquin sued Crosby over last year's accident in California's wine country ... where the singer, doing 55 mph in a Tesla, hit Luquin as he was jogging with his 14-year-old son. Luquin suffered a broken leg, arm, and shoulder and also damaged a kidney.

As we reported ... Crosby himself called 911, and told responding officers he had not been drinking.

However, in the lawsuit filed by Luquin's attorney James McKiernan ... Luquin claimed Crosby had ingested "alcohol and/or prescription drugs and/or non-prescription drugs and/or other intoxicants and hallucinogens."

In the settlement -- first reported by CalCoastNews.com -- Crosby did not cop to being intoxicated. Luquin is getting $2,950,000 and his son is getting $50,000.

It's unclear if that's coming out of Crosby's pocket or his insurance company. We've reached out to Crosby's camp ... no word back.

LeBron James is channeling his inner-Birdman ... telling his haters straight up, "Put some respeck on my name!"

Bron just issued a love letter to his critics ... putting 'em all on blast for doubting his ability and insinuating he's a crap stirrer behind the scenes.

"They said u lost a step, wasn't explosive as once was, the best days was in the real view, questioned your drive, your leadership, your commitment, you don't have killer instinct, going back home is the worst mistake in your career, he got the coach fired, players traded, won't work between him and Kyrie, Him and Kev won't work, love your teammates to much, there's no way he can deliver a championship in his hometown, etc etc etc.... But guess what THATS NONE OF MY BUSINESS."

Then came the hashtags -- "#StriveForGreatness #ThisOneIsForTheLand #PutSomeRespeckOnMyName Hahahaha!!! Yes sir"

He ain't gonna say it no more.

Conor McGregor is all about spreading the wealth -- buying his entire family brand new BMW 5 Series whips after he got rich in the UFC ... this according to Conor's dad.

Tony McGregor spoke with The Independent in Ireland ... and explained how the UFC surprised his family with a gaggle of Beamers back in 2015.

"He came home from an American trip last year, and I saw this fleet of cars coming around the corner with him in the lead car, a black BMW 5 Series," Tony said.

"I presumed it was an entourage chauffeuring him home, but he told me to hop in and asked if I liked the car? I said it was lovely and he handed me the keys and said, 'Good, because it's yours.' He bought one for everyone in the family, which was really nice."

Besides his parents, Conor has 2 sisters -- so, maybe he got a 4 car deal?

Of course, Conor LOVES cars -- and has bought himself a bunch of expensive rides ... including a couple of Rolls-Royces.

Tony dropped a whole bunch of Conor gems ... including:

-- He didn't approve of Conor's career at first. "He was able to prove me wrong, which has made me so proud."

-- Conor started boxing at age 12 after playing soccer as a kid.

And the most shocking part ... Tony says Conor was a really quiet kid who stayed out of trouble.

Iggy Azalea and Nick Young are done ... engagement off ... broken up ... for good.

Iggy took to social media to announce the breakup ... saying, "Unfortunately although I love Nick and have tried and tried to rebuild trust in him - It's become apparent in the last few weeks that I'm unable to."

Of course, Young was secretly recorded on video a few months back by Lakers teammate D'Angelo Russell seemingly admitting to cheating on Azalea.

At the time, Azalea said she was furious ... but decided to give Young one last chance.

FYI -- the two have dated for several years ... and were engaged to be married.

One half of P.M. Dawn ... singer Attrell Cordes, who was best known as Prince Be ... has died.

PM Dawn, which also included Cordes' brother, Jarrett, were huge in the early '90s. They're best known for their #1 hit "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss."

It appears Cordes was also living with diabetes. A post on the group's Facebook page read, "Prince Be Rest In Peace forever more, Pain from Diabetes can't harm you anymore."

#RIP

Disney finally fenced off the Seven Seas Lagoon on Friday and posted proper alligator warnings ... nearly 3 days after Lane Graves' tragic death.

Construction workers encircled the lagoon with poles and strung ropes between them on the same shoreline where the 2-year-old was attacked.

"Beach Closed" signs remain up and they've added other signs warning of gators and snakes too.

Walt Disney World Resort Vice President Jacquee Wahler says the new signage is temporary while they work out permanent, long-term solutions.

Wahler says they're also "reinforcing training with our Cast for reporting sightings and interactions with wildlife and are expanding our communication to Guests on this topic."

T.I.'s stepdaughter was busted for trying to get a gun through TSA at Hartfields-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta.

Zonnique Pullins was arrested early Thursday morning after a TSA agent spotted the semiautomatic pistol in her purse ... with the help of an X-ray machine.

We're told Pullins stated she had a weapons permit but didn't have the paperwork to prove it. It didn't really matter ... you can't carry a gun onto a plane.

Cops cuffed Zonnique and booked her for carrying a concealed weapon in an unauthorized area.

She got out Friday AM.

Brooke Shields got justice after a judge ordered her stalker behind bars for 60 days.

Shields was not in court for Friday's hearing in NYC ... where the judge found John Rinaldi guilty of stalking and sentenced him to stay away from Brooke, her family and her Greenwich Village home.

Brooke testified Monday and Tuesday, and recalled frightening encounters with Rinaldi ... including the time he tried to hand her a gift for her daughter.

The NBA has hit Steph Curry with a $25,000 fine for throwing his mouthpiece into the stands -- hitting a fan -- during Game 6 of the NBA Finals ... but it appears he will NOT be suspended.

The NBA's office just issued a statement saying, "Curry has been fined $25,000 for throwing his mouthpiece into the spectator stands."

"The incident, which resulted in a technical foul and subsequent ejection for Curry, occurred with 4:22 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 115-101 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers during Game 6 of The Finals on June 16 at Quicken Loans Arena."

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was also hit with a heavy fine.

"Kerr has been fined $25,000 for public criticism of the officiating during his press conference following the same game."

Meat Loaf's scary collapse during a show in Canada Thursday was triggered by severe dehydration ... so claims a spokesperson for the singer.

The singer collapsed Thursday night during his encore performance of "I'd Do Anything For Love."

Meat Loaf was taken to a local hospital and underwent tests ... his vital signs are stable but he's still hospitalized.

It's a little weird ... Meat Loaf just cancelled a bunch of concerts because of some sort of undisclosed illness. He also just cancelled his Saturday night show in Alberta.

Steph Curry and his wife, Ayesha, claim her father was "profiled" and "almost arrested" by NBA security at Game 6 in Cleveland Thursday night ... in a case of mistaken identity.

Ayesha first went public about the situation after the game -- tweeting, "Police racial profiled my father and told him to remove credentials and tried to arrest him."

Steph echoed her comments to ESPN on his way out of the stadium -- after the Warriors lost to the Cavs.

But NBA security says it can explain ... telling ESPN Ayesha's father bared a resemblance to a con artist named David Aminzadeh who had been using fake credentials to sneak into major sporting events.

Security spoke with Ayesha's dad -- and eventually determined he was NOT Aminzadeh.

Meat Loaf collapsed onstage while performing in front of a Canadian crowd.

The 68-year-old rocker was at the Jubilee Auditorium Thursday night in Edmonton when he hit the floor in the middle of "I'd Do Anything for Love," and lay motionless onstage.

The video is intense ... panic sets into the crowd as they realize the severity of the situation ... and one of the roadies tries to rally everyone with applause.

Meat Loaf recently canceled a string of shows for an undisclosed illness ... his current condition is unclear.

Story developing ...

The 2-year-old boy attacked by an alligator at a Disney hotel in Florida died from a combination of drowning and traumatic injuries ... this according to the Orange County Medical Examiner.

The M.E.'s office made its determination just a day after the body of Lane Graves was retrieved from the Disney lagoon.

For some reason the resort is still hunting for the alligator that killed the boy, despite the fact that all alligators are capable of killing a small child and mistaking it for food. Search teams have already captured and euthanized five gators.

Apparently, she's human after all ... 'cause UFC superstar Cris "Cyborg" Justino says she's in all sorts of pain after being bit by a BLACK WIDOW SPIDER!!

Cyborg says she was working in her garden last week when the spider appeared and sunk its fangs into the fighter's leg -- causing a nasty wound.

"My leg is in a lot of pain," Cyborg says.

Cyborg says she went to the doctor and got antibiotics and cream for the bite wound.

FYI, the black widow is one of the most venomous spiders in North America.

Yeesh.

Disney is acknowledging it may need signs around its properties warning of a hidden danger ... alligators.

A VP for the mouse says, while the beaches remain closed, Disney is reviewing its protocols, including "the number, placement and wording of our signage and warnings."

As we previously reported, Disney resorts in the area have "no swimming" signs posted, but no warnings of alligators ... despite the fact that numerous alligators have populated its lagoons.

It's almost certain the family of the boy who died will sue Disney, but a change in signage would not be admissible to show negligence on the part of the Resort. Courts don't want to discourage companies from improving safety.

Taylor Swift's already moved on  ... to actor Tom Hiddleston, just two weeks after her breakup with Calvin Harris.

TMZ has confirmed Taylor and Tom have formed a dating union. Truth be told ... it wasn't hard to confirm, after photos surfaced of the two passionately kissing.

The 35-year-old Hiddleston played Loki in 'Thor' and there's a buzz he's the new James Bond.

Taylor and Tom were dancing together at the Met Gala back on May 2 when she was still with Calvin.

Tayhid?
