CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

Ex-L.A. Kings star Slava Voynov is taking his talents back to Mother Russia in the wake of his prosecution for domestic violence -- choosing to leave before getting deported.

As we previously reported ... Voynov pled no contest to domestic violence stemming from an incident where his wife accused him of kicking and choking her. Immigration officials have had Voynov in custody since earlier this month when he completed his jail sentence.

Deportation was on the table, but Voynov just announced he would leave on his own.

He says, "I sincerely apologize to those in and around the game of hockey, who have been affected by my situation, and I also wish the players of the L.A. Kings success in the future.’’

The Kings say they had already decided to cut Slava, and were going to announce it later this week.

Kellan Lutz says the guy he helped develop a clothing line with turned around and ripped him off to the tune of $1.5 million and now Kellan wants his cash back.

Lutz says in a lawsuit ... he helped develop the "Abbot & Main" clothing company with Daniel Guez in 2013. Lutz says the brand has generated sales in the tens of millions, but he's been short-changed when it comes to royalties.

And get this ... the suit says once Guez got word Kellan was gunning for his cut, Guez started hiding money in accounts that are not in his name -- so it would be hard for Kellan to collect.

Larry Johnson dodged a jail sentence for the Miami nightclub attack where he punched a guy and attacked him with a glass.

The former star running back for the Chiefs pled guilty to battery for the violent incident that went down at the Delano Hotel last October. TMZ Sports broke the story ... Johnson punched the victim and then broke a glass -- action movie style -- and threatened to cut the guy.

Terrell Owens is a suspect in the most ridiculous battery case in 2015 ... and TMZ Sports has learned the alleged weapon was a Starbucks coffee cup.

T.O. was in a Brentwood, CA Starbucks Tuesday when a 28-year-old guy started screaming his name. An annoyed Terrell implored the guy to pipe down. The guy claims T.O. intentionally tripped him as he walked past the former football great.

Fast forward to T.O. getting into a Mercedes to leave, and then the loud talker screamed something. One witness heard, "F*** you, Terrell Owens." Another witness claims the guy said, "Bitch ass n*****."

According to cops, Terrell allegedly got out of the car and threw a paper coffee cup at the guy.

The 28-year-old called the cops and the paramedics, claiming he was injured. When cops arrived they noticed there was no evidence of coffee on the man's clothes ... and no evidence of injury.

Police are investigating. Seriously.

7:30 AM PT -- We spoke to T.O. and he says the situation was even more bizarre and menacing. He tells us the guy was following him and a female friend around the store, then followed them to their car ... and threw a cup of liquid INTO the car.

Terrell says that's when he got out and threw his empty cup at the guy. He confirms he absolutely heard him use the n-word.

7:00 PM PT -- A source familiar with Danity Kane back in the girls' hey day tells us Diddy did not handle the finances or management of group.

Ex-Danity Kane chicks Aubrey O'Day and Shannon Bex claim Diddy milked them for millions -- but all they got out of the deal was a pile of debt.

The duo was on "The Breakfast Club" plugging their new group dumblonde ... when the conversation turned to their old days in DK, and why they're recording independently instead of on a major label.

Shannon's simple explanation for why they didn't get rich of 2 platinum albums -- "We were signed to Diddy." It gets worse from there ... check it out.

We reached to Diddy for a response, but nothing back yet.

Kanye's lawyer, Blair Berk, was in court Tuesday morning, where his LAX battery case wrapped up. Berk presented a letter from the Dean at Los Angeles Trade Technical College, where Kanye did his required 240 hours of community service in the fashion design program.

The letter sings Kanye's praises, "The contribution of the hands-on community service Mr. West has completed with our school has been of great benefit to our students and program."

According to the letter, Kanye did more hours than required -- a total of 262.

Kanye is still on informal probation but assuming he keeps his nose clean, he's in the clear.

One of the 'Hobbit' villains got drunk, and knocked a guy out cold during a Comic-Con after-party, and ended the night in handcuffs ... according to cops and witnesses.

According to police docs, obtained by TMZ, Manu Bennett was hanging with a bunch of people in a San Antonio hotel room ... drinking and having a good time ... until he was asked to leave. Witnesses told police that Bennett -- who played Azog in the 'Hobbit' -- had too much to drink.

Before Bennett left the room he stared down the other guests, and when one of them dared to ask, "What?" ... witnesses say the actor unloaded a knockout punch to the guy's face.

The victim's nose was broken and bleeding. Cops showed up and went to Bennett's hotel room. At first he didn't remember the fight, but then claimed he was defending himself.

Bennett -- who also stars in "Arrow" and the "Spartacus" TV series -- was arrested and booked for assault.

Lil Wayne failed to pay one of his utility bills -- problem is, that utility is a PRIVATE JET -- and now he has to fork over $2 million!

Wayne lost a lawsuit from Signature Group, a company that leases private jets to the rich and famous. We broke the story ... Signature went after Weezy for missing payments during the first 2 years of a 3 year deal with the company.

According to the suit, Wayne had more than $1 million on his tab as of July 2014. For his part, Wayne claimed he never signed a contract with Signature.

The court disagreed, and ruled in favor of Signature. Since it's been a year since the suit was filed, the $1 million ballooned to $1.8 mil ... late fees are a bitch. Wayne also has to pay $200,000 in attorney's fees.

He is now free to move about the cabin.

Warren Sapp is not going to jail for a probation violation in his prostitution case -- as prosecutors had requested ... and instead, the charges have been dropped ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Kim Richards will NOT do jail time for her drunken antics at the Beverly Hills Hotel, but she didn't get the community service she was after.

Her case was plea bargained and the judge just sentenced her to 30 days community labor. This is not office work. It involves real labor, like graffiti or garbage removal.

Kim tried to convince the judge she couldn't do strenuous work because of a foot injury, but the judge wasn't buying it.

The judge also placed Kim on 3 years probation. She's been ordered to stay 100 yards away from the Bev Hills Hotel.

And there's more. Kim must attend 52 AA classes ... one a week for the next year.

Kim has major issues still ... as we reported, last week she went to several smoke shops in the San Fernando Valley where we're told she was looking for Xanax.

Ron White might want to keep a closer eye on his finances after his assistant allegedly stole $400k from him ... and now cops are on the case.

According to legal docs, White hired Brendan Vaughn as an assistant for his wife Margo in 2012, who was undergoing cancer treatment. Vaughn had been given a credit card for business purposes and gained access to Ron's bank accounts on his own.

To his horror, Ron's financial adviser told him Vaughn was allegedly using the card to foot the bill at nightclubs and hotels. The adviser says Vaughn was making cash withdrawals, buying clothes and even making payments on his BMW.

Chris Brown and the folks who accused him of bailing on ATL Black Gay Pride Weekend have settled their differences ... and all it took was CB forking over $12,500.

According to our sources, a deal really was in place for CB to perform at the September 7 event, but details of the performance never got to Chris.

We're told the talent agency that booked the gig for Chris believed the event promoters had breached the contract -- by using the wrong pic of Chris on posters -- so they never told him about the deal, which is why he never showed.

Michael Jordan's good name has been dragged into a criminal investigation after a guy allegedly used fake money to score a pair of his famous Air Jordan shoes, and the seller got beat up during the deal.

Ice Cube and Forever 21 are not only a totally unexpected pairing, it's an illegal one -- according to the guy who says the retail giant ripped off his pic of the rapper to make a buck.

The t-shirts in question show Cube's snarling face slapped on a mocked up Oakland Raiders logo. Perfect for that 20-something chick who's just dying to rep old school rap and the silver and black ... right?

Patrick Hoelck says not so fast. He's the photographer who took the famous pic of Ice Cube used on the t-shirt, and he says Forever 21, and another merch company called Control ... never got his permission.

In the lawsuit he just filed ... Hoelck says he sent both companies letters back in June demanding they yank the shirts. They didn't, so now he wants a jury to shut 'em down, and award him their profits.
