CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

'Real Housewives of NY' star Heather Thomson is desperate to give her company's manager the boot after she says he squashed any chances of featuring the brand on 'RHONY.'

Thomson is suing Eric Rothfeld, who manages and owns part of Yummie by Heather Thomson, because she says he refused to allow the show's cameras in their building. In the suit, Heather says Eric's decision hurts their bottom line ... since being on the show would be a great promotional opportunity for Yummie.

She says Eric's killed other media opportunities as well, but since he's part owner of the company ... Heather can't just fire him. She's trying to put a new manager in Rothfeld's position, but he's fighting that.

Heather wants a judge to validate the steps she's already taken to 86 Rothfeld as manager.

A German soccer superstar is declaring war on a Chinese toy company -- claiming they ripped off his name and image to make a Nazi action figure ... but wait'll you hear the company's defense.

The man at the center of the controversy is Manchester United player Bastian Schweinsteiger -- who played on Team Germany's World Cup team last year ... he's a big deal.

He also looks A LOT like the WWII German Army Supply Duty toy named "Bastian" that's being hawked by Chinese toy company DiD.

Well, Bastian doesn't feel like imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ... when Hitler's involved ... so he's preparing to sue the company.

But a rep for DiD says it's all one big misunderstanding -- "We think that all Germans look like that. Bastian is also a very common name in Germany.”

Wow.

The DiD rep added, "It is a complete coincidence that the figure ‘Bastian’ looks like Schweinsteiger."

The boyfriend of Chris Brown's baby mama just learned a very expensive lesson -- showing up late for court can cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

King Ba, who was dating Nia Guzman when Royalty was born, missed his scheduled hearing in his check forgery case last week. As we reported, the judge issued an arrest warrant. A source connected to Ba tells us he eventually showed -- a day late, and the judge raised his bail from $5,000 to $40,000 as a penalty for his tardiness.

Ba paid immediately, but then ran into more problems because he had a Cali medical marijuana card. The judge called BS since Ba lives in Texas, and we're told he now has to undergo 5 drug tests, and can't leave Harris County.

Khloe Kardashain may have had fun bankrolling a massive midnight fireworks display for her now ex-boyfriend James Harden, but a dog living nearby was allegedly so freaked out he'll never be the same, so the owner is now suing her.

James Ferguson, a Marina del Rey resident, filed the lawsuit in small claims court, claiming the explosions created "a disturbance that harmed our family and pet."

James was not specific -- whether the pooch now freaks out at loud noises or craps on the carpet -- but he clearly thinks the damage is severe, because he's suing for $7,500.

Khloe, Harden and a bunch of guests watched the fireworks show on a boat just outside Marina del Rey. Thousands of sleeping locals were not amused.

Bethenny Frankel's hugely successful Skinnygirl brand is under attack by a copycat ... according to a new lawsuit.

Frankel's company SG Marks is suing Travis and Stacey Labarge, claiming the couple's Skinnygirl Tea is a rip-off of the real deal. Bethenny's co. says her fame is what drove the brand's success and the Labarges are just piggybacking on her hard work.

SG Marks wants the court to strip the Skinnygirl name from all of the Labarges' products -- and it's also seeking monetary damages.

Thabo Sefolosha says he's not 100% committed to suing New York City over the police incident that left him with a broken leg.

It's true that Thabo's attorney Alex Spiro filed a notice of claim with city officials clearing the way to file a lawsuit, as first reported by the NY Post.

But Spiro tells TMZ Sports the notice is just a way to keep the option open while they decide IF they'll actually pull the trigger on a lawsuit.

"To reserve the rights of Mr. Sefolosha, filing the notice of claim was a necessary step," Spiro says ... "At this time, no final decision has been reached."

That being said, if we were the betting type ... we'd still have our money on lawsuit.

Perry Ellis President and COO Oscar Feldenkreis is getting dressed down in a lawsuit from a high ranking employee who says the honcho has strict rules ... about blacks and gays.

Joseph Cook, an openly gay senior executive for the clothing company, says Feldenkreis offended him several times. He says when it came to advertisements, Oscar demanded there were "no blacks" or "anyone who looked too gay" pictured.

On another occasion, Cook says he was summoned for jury duty and Feldenkreis told him he could avoid it by "telling them you hate ni**ers and f*gs."

Cook is asking for an unspecified amount of cash.

Metal god Glenn Danzig made a BIG impression on a fan this weekend -- unfortunately he allegedly made it on the fan’s face by beating the crap out of him, and now cops have launched an investigation.

The alleged victim, Neil Dalton, says 60-year-old Danzig stopped his Sunday night concert in Montreal to berate him for taking pics. Danzig famously has a "no photos" rule at shows, and Dalton claims the singer threatened to break his neck.

Dalton says the tongue-lashing was just the start -- he claims security dragged him outside, beat him up ... but inexplicably let him back into the show, briefly. He claims security hauled him out again, but this time Danzig showed up to join the beatdown.

Montreal PD confirms Dalton filed a police report later that night, and they're investigating.

If this sounds familiar, might be because we got Danzig punishing another photo taker back in July.

Chris Brown and Suge Knight were a recipe for violence at a 2014 Sunset Strip VMA party, and a model who was shot in the butt is now suing the club, claiming it turned a blind eye to the danger.

Megan Hawkins says 1 OAK knew Chris Brown had gang ties and also knew Suge was bad news, yet both ended up in the club without adequate security to protect patrons.

Chris was hosting the event when shots rang out, hitting Suge 6 times and the model once.

Hawkins says she was seriously injured and lost work, racked up medical bills and endured lots of pain and suffering.

The club had no comment.

Master P's wife claims her estranged husband is using their famous son to rob her in their bitter divorce.

Sonya Miller just sued Romeo, claiming his dad is using him to hide assets ... making it look like P has a lot less than in actuality.

Sonya gives examples, the main one being their record label No Limit Records, which she and P created in the '90s. She says in 2010 P and Romeo started a label called No Limit Forever, which is essentially the same company with one big difference ... Romeo is the named founder and owner, which means she can't touch it. Sonya believes it's just a ruse and controlled by Master P.

Sonya also makes mention of the reality show on Reelz called "Master P's Family Empire," and she says he got $750k for the first season and she believes P shielded the money by putting Romeo on the payroll docs.

Sonya is very careful in the lawsuit not to blame her son, saying he may just be an unwitting pawn.

That said, we got Romeo out a year ago and he threw some shade on his mom.

The LAX employee Olivier Martinez unloaded on ... is now unloading a lawsuit on Martinez and Halle Berry, claiming he was attacked for no reason whatsoever.

We got video of the incident when it went down back in January -- after Halle and Olivier landed at LAX they were swarmed by paparazzi, and Olivier used their baby's car seat to shove the employee -- named Ronaldo Owens -- flat on his ass.

In his lawsuit, filed Monday in L.A., Owens says he wasn't blocking the couple's path ... and had every right to be where he was as an LAX employee. One angle of the video did show Owens taking a photo with what appears to be his phone.

However, in his suit Owens says Martinez brutally charged at him without provocation -- and he accuses Halle of masterminding the whole thing, saying she gave her husband "carte blanche ability to attack."

He's suing them for at least $5 million.

Owens filed a police report, but the L.A. city attorney declined to prosecute.

UCLA star cornerback Ishmael Adams has officially been charged with misdemeanor battery for allegedly roughing up an Uber driver back in August ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Adams was arrested on August 30th after getting into an altercation with his Uber driver in front of a police station in Westwood.

The Uber driver previously told TMZ Sports Adams -- one of the best cornerbacks in the country -- was "drunk and belligerent" when he picked the guy up from a house party.

The driver said he tried to kick Adams out of the car -- but he got physical, jacked the driver's phone and assaulted him.

Adams was initially suspended by UCLA -- but has since been reinstated and has played in 3 games in 2015.

Blake Shelton has just declared war on In Touch -- suing the magazine over a cover insinuating he checked into rehab after his split from Miranda Lambert ... and he's looking for MILLIONS.

Shelton's beef is over a September 28th cover that featured a picture of Blake along with the headline, "Rehab for Blake ... He Finally Hits Rock Bottom."

In his lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court by Shelton's attorney Larry Stein, Shelton says he's NOT in rehab and has no plans to go to rehab -- and he wants to set the record straight by suing In Touch's parent company, Bauer Media.

In fact, Blake calls BS on several specific lines from the article, including:

-- "Blake has hit rock bottom"
-- "His friends are terrified that he could end up dead at this rate"
-- "Blake's drinking and womanizing are what helped torpedo his 4-year marriage"
-- Mr. Shelton was "caught" by Ms. Lambert with "a bunch of naked women" in their home
-- "His close friends have talked about an intervention"

Blake wants AT LEAST $2 MILLION to make things right.

With all the new info coming to light in the Johnny Manziel domestic dispute -- people are wondering why the QB was allowed to drive off with his GF after she told cops about day drinking, a physical fight and had an injury on her arm.

So, TMZ Sports called up the chief of the Avon Police Dept. for the answers ... here's what Chief Bosley had to say:

TMZ Sports: What is the current status of the case?

Chief Bosley: "The case is currently classified as 'Investigation Suspended.' As far as our investigation, we've talked to everyone that we could talk to. There is not enough to pursue prosecution. If additional information came across, we could then pursue it."

TMZ Sports: Why didn't cops give Manziel a field sobriety test or a breathalyzer?

Chief Bosley: "We base everything on the observation of facts, or the facts that appear to present themselves. The supervising officer on the scene has been a police officer for 17, 18 years. He's a very well trained officer. He observed no probable cause to have Manziel take a breathalyzer, or a field sobriety test."

"We talked to witnesses, and tried to get to a conclusion. I know the supervising officer to be of impeccable character. There were 3 officers on the scene, and I stand by them completely."

David Copperfield may have his next assistant for the "sawing in half" trick -- because the magician claims his accountant screwed up his taxes, costing him $471,000.

Copperfield is suing Robert Baral ... claiming the guy didn't file the magician's Canadian tax returns for 2008 and 2009, and also didn't let him know the previous accountant failed to file a 2007 return.

Copperfield also claims the accountant hired a Canadian firm to deal with the tax snafu and failed to monitor them to ensure things were handled properly.

Lil Wayne's legal team just added insult to his $2 million injury ... they say he owes them $80k for a legal case he lost!

Wayne's attorneys at Garbett, Allen & Roza just hit him with a lawsuit for unpaid fees. According to the docs, Weezy hired the firm to help him fight Signature Jets, which had sued him for, guess what -- unpaid bills.

As we reported ... Wayne lost that case, and has to fork over $2 mil to Signature. Now his lawyers want compensation for their legal representation ... despite the loss.
