Rick Ross can finally get back on his "Boss" grind ... a judge gave him approval to start traveling on biz trips, but there are several restrictions -- including an ankle monitor.

Ross was in an Atlanta court Thursday a happy man -- since his travel restrictions were lifted. Ross has been unable to leave town since he posted $2 million bail last month in his assault case.

In court, Rick was told he must give the D.A. 5 days notice of any travel, including flight times, where he's staying, and why he has to go. He gets a 2-hour grace period to get to his house, once he returns to Atlanta ... so he better pray for NO traffic.

BTW ... Rick Ross' voluptuous friend was in court today. Just a hunch ... she'll be on the business trips too.

Chelsea Manning -- the whistleblower currently serving a 35-year sentence for passing classified military documents to Wikileaks -- is facing solitary confinement, partly because of Caitlyn Jenner.

A lawyer for Manning told Buzzfeed News Manning's alleged violations include having an expired tube of toothpaste, disorderly conduct and possessing "prohibited property" ... specifically a number of LGBTQ reading materials, including Jenner's Vanity Fair issue.

Kelly Rutherford is ripping into the judge she says effectively "arrested" her children, and sent them back to their father ... who she claims lied to the court to get his way.

Rutherford says Judge Ellen Gesmer's ruling to send the kids back to Daniel Giersch was "shocking, illegal, and abusive to my children." She adds that Gesmer "lacked sufficient knowledge of the law, or didn't care that she was violating the law."

She insists the ruling violates the Constitution because the children are U.S. citizens.

Rutherford also says her ex lied so he could get an emergency order. She says Giersch told the court he didn't know where Kelly and the kids were, but she says the truth is ... he Skyped with the kids several times, and always knew they were safe.

She saved her last jab for Gesmer, saying ... "She has to live with herself, and if she has a conscience, I suspect she will not sleep well, ever again."

"Deadliest Catch" star Tony Lara didn't suffer when he died ... authorities believe he suffered a heart attack in his sleep.

Meade County Sheriff, Ron Merwin, tells TMZ ... the pathologist who performed the autopsy observed scar tissue on Lara's heart, which is consistent with the effects of a heart attack.

Merwin says they'll know for sure when the toxicology report comes back, but there were no signs drugs or alcohol played a role. We're told Lara's body is being transferred back to his hometown in Alaska.

Jets QB Geno Smith got punched in the face so hard by a teammate ... he broke his jaw, and will miss several weeks of the season.

The player who busted Geno's jaw is 2nd year linebacker Ikemefuna Enemkpali -- and the Jets have already cut his ass over the locker room fight.

Jets officials say Geno will be out for 6-10 weeks healing his jaw.

Enemkpali was basically a bench jockey. The 6'1" 260 lbs backup linebacker had a grand total of 3 tackles last season ... so, it's not like he'll be missed.

Smith, on the other hand, was in competition for the starting job. He posted a pic -- his face doesn't look all that swollen -- and promised "I'll be back."

Kelly Rutherford just lost big in court, and her kids are now on their way to the airport to return to Monaco.

A judge just enforced a court order giving Daniel the right to keep the 2 children in Monaco, while he works out his residency issues with the U.S.

Kelly had refused to return the children after having them for 2 months this summer, arguing the U.S. courts had no authority to order their return. But today a judge disagreed.

We're told Daniel Giersch's mom took the 2 children from the NYC courthouse and they are on their way to the airport to return to Monaco.

There's a hearing on Sept. 3rd in Monaco regarding custody.

Gotta love a good sibling rivalry, and the fact Kim Kardashian's not surrendering ... even though she's pregnant.

8:58 AM PT -- The couple's kids have arrived at court.

Kelly Rutherford defiantly showed up for the court hearing where she's supposed to surrender her children to her ex-husband -- but she did NOT bring the kids.

TMZ broke the story ... Kelly was ordered to appear before a NY judge because Daniel Giersch is demanding Kelly return their two kids to him in Monaco. Kelly's visitation period ended last week, but she's refusing to send them back to Daniel.

He insists Kelly's basically a child abductor now. The judge specified Kelly needed to bring them to court today, but it looks like she's not willing to give in ... not yet.

Giersch is not in court, but his mother is there ... hoping, we guess, to take custody of her grandchildren.

Leonardo DiCaprio fought the French and won ... but all he has to show for it is a few grand.

The "Titanic" star was awarded $9,000 in damages from the French magazine, Oops! Leo filed suit a few months back over a cover story alleging he got Rihanna pregnant, and didn't want the baby.

Frederic Truskolaski, owner of the mag, expected to lose the lawsuit ... but was anything but magnanimous in defeat, trashing Leo and making more claims that could make him another $9k lighter.

Gossip Cop first reported Leo's win.

Tony Lara -- who appeared on the hit discovery show "Deadliest Catch" -- died in his sleep Saturday. He was 50.

Lara was found early Saturday morning at a private residence in Sturgis, South Dakota. So far, authorities have no cause of death, pending autopsy results.

Football great Frank Gifford died suddenly Sunday morning ... according to a statement from his wife Kathie Lee and their kids.

Gifford's family says he passed away of natural causes at their Connecticut home. He was 84.

Gifford was an NFL Hall of Famer with the NY Giants ... and also a famous broadcaster for "Monday Night Football" from 1971-1997.

He married Kathie Lee in 1986 and they had 2 children -- Cody and Cassidy ... who is now an actress, and had her first starring role this summer in "The Gallows."

Frank had 3 other children (and 5 grandkids) from his first marriage.

Bobbi Kristina died after her boyfriend gave her a toxic cocktail, and when she fell into unconsciousness he put her face down in the bathtub ... so claims the lawyer who represents Bobbi Kristina's estate.

The attorney filed a $40 million lawsuit against Nick Gordon in June, but court documents just filed in the case outline shocking allegations that, if true, would clearly amount to homicide.

The lawyer says at 6 AM on January 31st -- hours before Bobbi Kristina was found face down in the tub -- Nick Gordon came home from an all-night cocaine and alcohol bender. The suit claims he reviewed camera footage and became irate.

The suit says Gordon began screaming at Bobbi Kristina, accusing her of cheating and calling her a "whore and bitch."

Their argument then went from room to room, and at some point the suit claims Gordon gave Bobbi Kristina a "toxic cocktail" that rendered her unconscious.

The lawyer then says Gordon dragged Bobbi Kristina to the bathroom where he placed her face down in a tub filled with cold water.

According to the docs, Gordon got in bed, put his head on a female guest's ankle and said, "Now I want a pretty little white girl like you."

Fifteen minutes later the suit says another person (presumably Max Lomas) discovered Bobbi Kristina in the tub.

The suit also says when Bobbi Kristina was pulled from the tub, one of her teeth was hanging loosely from her mouth, indicating she had been injured.

And this is odd ... the suit says authorities found a dust pan at the bottom of the tub.

Tony Stewart could have avoided striking and killing Kevin Ward Jr. but instead chose to terrorize Ward by driving recklessly... so claims Ward's parents, who have filed a wrongful death suit.

The parents say Stewart had complete disregard for Kevin's life a year ago when his race car struck and killed the 20-year-old.

The lawsuit claims Stewart gunned his 700 HP car as he drove by Ward. Stewart's car slid and struck Ward with the rear tire, hurling him 25 feet. The suit claims Stewart gunned the engine to "terrorize" Ward.

There were rumors of beef between the two, which fueled speculation Stewart intentionally plowed into Ward with his car when he ran onto the track ... something he denies.

Stewart was cleared of criminal charges. Authorities also say Ward was high on weed when he got out of his car.

Ward's family still believes the death was avoidable and they want to take it to a civil jury.

Reps for Stewart have no comment.

Aldon Smith's arrest Friday was his last straw with the San Francisco 49ers ... they've cut him.

Harrison Ford's plane crash was caused by engine failure related to a loose part ... the National Transportation Safety Board announced Thursday.

In their report on the March 5 crash, the NTSB said the carburetor's main metering jet became loose, which likely stemmed from when the plane was rebuilt 17 years earlier.

The report also says Ford's shoulder harness was not properly reinforced, which contributed to the severity of his injuries.
