CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

5:50 PM PT -- Police reviewed the case and changed the charge to misdemeanor domestic violence.He's still facing a felony for aggravated harassment.

Corey Clark -- the season 2 "American Idol" contestant who was famously rumored to have had an affair with Paula Abdul -- was arrested Wednesday night for felony domestic violence.

Clark was cuffed by Yuma, Arizona cops and is currently behind bars at the Yuma County Detention Center.

In addition to the felony domestic violence charge, Clark was also booked for aggravated harassment and failure to comply. We don't know the nature of the relationship between Clark and the alleged victim.

Clark is due in court Thursday afternoon.

Clark sued Fox after he was dropped from the show for not disclosing a prior arrest. He had been arrested after a scuffle with his sister. He pleaded no contest.

9:15 AM PT -- Chris posted a statement on Instagram, saying he'll be in Australia in December.

It looks like Chris Brown will be denied entry into Australia because officials from that country say the Rihanna beating makes it clear ... he's not of fit character to enter their borders.

Chris was scheduled to tour in the country in December, but Immigration officials want to lower the boom, saying, "People need to understand if you are going to commit domestic violence and then you want to travel around the world, there are going to be countries that say to you, 'You cannot come in because you are not of the character we expect in Australia."

The Prime Minister of Australia echoed the sentiment, saying it was "brilliantly expressed."

There were protests in Australia over his planned tours in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. The visa has not been denied yet, but the handwriting may be on the wall.

Brown's application for visas have been rejected in Britain, Canada and New Zealand.

Actor-turned-church-leader Andrew Keegan claims his reputation is ruined over Kombucha ... and he wants $33 mil to make it right.

Keegan got some bad press after his church -- Full Circle Venice -- was slapped for selling Kombucha to its members. Turns out the hippie elixir had enough alcohol so it couldn't be sold without a license. The California Dept. of Alcoholic Beverage Control raided the church and cited some of the members.

Here's what made Keegan irate ... Examiner.com reported he was arrested for the illegal sale of Kombucha. Keegan -- who became famous playing Joey in "10 Things I Hate About You" -- says he wasn't even there and was not arrested.

He says Examiner.com has a network reaching 20 million monthly readers and his name is now mud ... which is why he wants $33 mil.

Bombshell allegations in the Patrick Kane rape case ... with the accuser's lawyer claiming someone stole the rape kit evidence bag and dropped it off at her mother's doorstep.

The accuser's attorney, Thomas J. Eoannou, held up the bag during a news conference -- verified its authenticity -- and said, "The rape kit evidence bag has been tampered with."

Eoannou says the bag was delivered anonymously -- and he's demanding law enforcement immediately open an investigation into how the bag was removed from police custody in the first place.

Eoannou added, "In my 30 years plus of being both a prosecutor and a defense attorney, I have never seen an evidence bag outside a of police lab, a prosecutor's office, or a courtroom, let alone find one in the door way of a rape victim's mother's home."

"This evidence bag has been ripped open. The purpose of an evidence bag is to protect the items of evidence from tampering. The bag itself is even critical evidence to the chain of custody."

Caitlyn Jenner will not be prosecuted for vehicular manslaughter in February's fatal PCH car crash, but there's one string attached, TMZ has learned.

Well-placed sources connected with the L.A. County D.A.'s Office tell us, the people assigned to review the case have determined Jenner's conduct was negligent, but not criminal. We're told the people making the decision are also relying on the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept., which investigated and came up with the same conclusion.

Matt Groening is literally living a Joni Mitchell song ... his neighbor paved paradise and put up a parking lot, and he's pissed.

Matt is enraged one of his neighbors is taking an ax to four 100-year-old pine trees, which he says are on protected property.

The "Simpsons" co-creator says the neighbor wants to pave over the area to accommodate her cars.

The Santa Monica neighborhood is up in arms. Bobby Shriver, the former Santa Monica mayor and member of the Kennedy clan, along with his wife, Malissa, tried to stop the chainsaw massacre by protesting to the City of L.A. Turns out, the trees are on the border between Santa Monica and L.A. and the stumps rest on the L.A. side.

One neighbor, Jerry Rubin, actually chained himself to one of the trees in protest.

Matt and company won a temporary reprieve ... the City of L.A. ordered the tree hackers to stop until they determine conclusively whether she has a right to chop the pines down.

As they say ... you don't know what you got till it's gone ...

Stone Temple Pilot's ex-frontman Scott Weiland is being sued by the same people who tried to help him win a lawsuit of his own.

G&M Law claims they represented Scott in 2013 when he was sued by Stone Temple Pilots for allegedly sabotaging their tour. G&M says they worked a ton of hours for Scott, including filing a countersuit against STP ... but Scott dropped them for another firm a year later.

The G&M lawyers say they were cooperative during the transition to the other firm but claim Scott still stiffed them on the tab.

They're asking for more than $50k for the work they did on the case.

Nick Prugo -- the guy who masterminded the Hollywood "Bling Ring" -- got busted for another nefarious plot ... this time he allegedly tried to hire someone to rape his longtime nemesis.

Prugo was arrested and charged with solicitation to commit sexual assault, as well as 3 counts of stalking. Prugo's friend, Edward Feinstein, was also taken into custody and charged with the same crimes.

The D.A. says Prugo and Feinstein posted an online ad in January 2014 ... looking to hire men to go to Dawn Daluise's home and rape her. Prugo has a sordid history with Daluise.

She's an esthetician who was also arrested for trying to hire someone to murder a rival skin care shop owner last year. When she got busted she told cops Prugo violated his parole by going out of state ... and he ended up going back to jail briefly.

Irwin Winkler -- who produced a slew of huge hits including "Rocky," "Raging Bull" and "The Right Stuff," is suing Warner Bros., claiming the movie company hid millions of "Goodfellas" dollars from him.

Winkler, who produced "Goodfellas" in 1990 for $30 mil, says in his lawsuit Warner Bros. has repeatedly told him there were no net profits from the flick, and it actually lost money ... despite the fact it grossed $275 million.

Winkler says the movie company concealed "a vast amount of the film's actual receipts."

The core of the dispute seems to deal with home video sales, which Winkler says totaled more than $140 million.

A Warner Bros. spokesperson tells us, "The allegations are baseless and we will vigorously defend."

50 Cent has filed a lawsuit against a guy who he claims falsely represented to E! he wanted to do a reality show featuring a "young white girl" working at G-Unit.

50 claims he paid Andrew Jameson $270,000 to make deals for him, including TV projects. 50 says Jameson went rogue after his deal expired and went to E! and made a deal for 50 called "The Unit." Jameson suggested to a G-Unit employee to get a "young white woman" on board to make the show more sellable.

50 says in legal docs he was appalled when he found out, calling texts about the suggestion "highly offensive."

When 50 finally talked to E! to explain he didn't want to do a reality show, he was told Jameson had already closed the deal. 50 says he refused to do the show and it "severely damaged" his relationship with NBCUniversal, E!'s parent company.

50 wants all sorts of damages, totaling more than $800k.

The man accused of stabbing Morgan Freeman's granddaughter pled not guilty to her murder ... as prosecutors painted a graphic picture of the scene witnesses and police saw the day she was killed.

Lamar Davenport appeared in a Manhattan courtroom Tuesday morning with his attorneys to enter his plea. He's been on psychiatric hold since E'Dena Hines' death on August 16.

Prosecutors say witnesses saw Davenport on top of Hines in the middle of the street that day, and the knife was still in her chest when police arrived. The D.A. said she had 25 stab wounds -- initial reports said it was 15 -- and she was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Davenport's attorneys said he was about to begin psychiatric examinations at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in NYC.

Kylie Jenner's been on a 3 year campaign to get revenge on a teenage girl she considered a rival for Jaden Smith's affection ... according to legal docs which read like an episode of "Gossip Girl."

In the docs, 17-year-old Chelsea Clark says Kylie was pissed because Jaden wanted to get with Chelsea. She says Kylie called her and said, "Leave my boyfriend alone cause you will never be like me."

Clark says Kylie then had people follow her and sent threatening messages to her over social media. She says at one point Kylie said, "This is war."

The alleged conspiracy gets even darker ... because, in the docs, Clark says she hurt her back in a car accident which she believes Kylie masterminded.

Clark requested a temporary restraining order, but it was denied. The court asked her to bring the threatening messages to court on Monday, but she was a no-show. There's a hearing scheduled for Oct. 9.

Kylie's camp tells us she's never heard of Clark and has no idea who she is.

Sources close to Jaden tell us he doesn't know who Clark is either.

Sean Penn has sued Lee Daniels for $10 million, claiming the "Empire" creator dragged him through the mud and accused him of hitting women, just to make Terrence Howard look better.

Daniels did an interview in which he said, "[Terrence] ain't done nothing different than Marlon Brando or Sean Penn, and all of a sudden he's some f***in' demon.... That's a sign of the time, of race, of where we are right now in America."

Penn claims in his lawsuit Daniels' comments were "reckless and malicious" and Sean has falsely "for years been the subject of scandalous, scurrilous, and baseless attacks."

Penn has been caught on video attacking paparazzi and prosecuted for it. As for women, there have been numerous reports that he allegedly brutalized Madonna in the late '80s, and numerous publications reported he was charged and convicted. We did some checking, and it appears the story about being charged and convicted is incorrect ... he was never charged.

Penn says in the lawsuit, "Daniels' defense of Howard (and his improper invocation of two of the greatest actors and humanitarians of our time, Brando and Penn, in doing so) is apparently part of a misguided campaign to profit and further bolster and brand his show 'Empire.'"

Penn is suing Daniels for $10 million.

Rihanna is "hot" because she's "not too dark" ... and that's what a guy claims was said in the firm that manages the singer's finances.

A fired employee claims the firm -- Flynn Family Office (FFO) had a sexist culture and comments were allegedly hurled that were racist. The fired employee claims one of the company's partners would say things like an assistant "lost points in [his] eyes because she was too dark."

FFO -- which also reps Kelly Ripa, designer Tory Burch and Katie Holmes -- also allegedly tolerated discussions about sex tourism and the relative "hotness" of Asian women.

And the suit claims there was loose talk about women, including comments such as a worker having an "ass of steel."

A second millionaire on "The Millionaire Matchmaker" in less than 2 months has been charged with brutalizing a woman ... and the latest one was so bad, the guy was arrested for attempted murder.

John Bonavia was featured on 'Millionaire Matchmaker' on March 20, 2014. According to the show, he's a financial adviser and worth $1 million.

On Sept. 12th, the Beverly Hills Police Dept. got a call from Bonavia's neighbor, who was alarmed after hearing screaming and pounding coming from Bonavia's house.

Law enforcement tells us, when cops arrived and knocked, Bonavia was uncooperative, so they forced their way in and found Bonavia and a woman, whose face was battered and bloody.

The woman was in bad enough shape that cops arrested Bonavia for attempted murder. The D.A. later charged him with felony injury on a cohabitant. He was also charged with making criminal threats.

And this isn't Bonavia's first brush with the law. In May 2014, another girlfriend accused him of hitting her with his fists and choking her.

And earlier this month, another millionaire from 'Millionaire Matchmaker' was charged with forcible rape, rape by use of drugs, forcible oral copulation, sexual penetration by a foreign object and attempted sodomy by use of force, and 2 counts of administering drugs to commit rape.

Ron White's former assistant says he's no embezzler, because everything he spent on White's dime was with the comedian's approval.

Brendan Vaughn insists White gave him carte blanche to write checks totaling thousands of dollars. White begs to differ ... claiming Vaughn bought clothes, paid for hotel rooms and racked up credit card bills on his dime.

Vaughn insists White and his wife knew he was buying all the stuff and never complained, including White's business manager who keeps track of all the bills.

And Vaughn says, all of the charges were work-related, and the hotel and clothing charges were purchased for events he attended with the Whites.
