Busta Rhymes Cuts a Deal In NY Muscle Milk Brawl

Published | Updated

9:20 A.M. PST -- Busta's attorney, Scott Leemon tells TMZ ... "We are glad the DA's office did their own investigation and agreed that criminal charges were not warranted."

Busta Rhymes won't be sippin' Muscle Milk from behind bars ... he just avoided additional jail time in that whole protein drink mess.

Busta was arrested for assault back in August after he allegedly threw a container of Muscle Milk at a man working out at Steel Gym in NYC. Busta pled guilty on Friday to a lesser charge of harassment in the second degree.

The judge decided Busta's night in jail and recent completion of anger management courses was enough punishment ... he wasn't given anything else.

Woo Hah!!

Rapper Young B Ex-Manager's Trying to ... Jack My 'Love & Hip Hop' Check

Published | Updated

Young B -- best known for her 2006 hit "Chicken Noodle Soup" -- says a former manager is extorting her for a cut of her "Love & Hip Hop: New York" dough, and he might get her tossed from the show.

The rapper says she hadn't heard from Arthur Smith in 5 years, but he recently resurfaced and threatened to sue VH1 if he didn't get 50% of her "participation fee."

B says she signed with Smith in 2006 ... when she was only 16 and "Chicken Noodle Soup" was taking off. In her lawsuit, she says that contract is void because Smith stopped meeting his management obligations long ago, and his label went under.

In other words, as Janet Jackson said ... what have you done for me lately? Young B wants the judge to declare the contract null and void.

Now, a little 'Chicken Noodle' chaser ...

GETTIN' CUFFED

TMZ Sports has obtained footage of Lakers guard Lou Williams handcuffed by police and slammed up against a cop car in front of a casino in Vegas ... but the NBA player insists he did NOTHING wrong.

We've learned ... Williams was detained in front of The Cromwell hotel and casino on the Vegas strip in the early hours of September 13th ... after the Mayweather vs. Berto fight.

Witnesses at the scene tell us, Williams was involved in an altercation with "a large man" -- and cops rushed in to break it up. We're told Williams adamantly denies being involved in a fight.

Williams was handcuffed and slammed up against a police car -- but the Las Vegas Metro Police Department tell us they have NO RECORD showing Williams was formally arrested that night.

We spoke with Lou's agent Wallace Prather III who tells us, "Apparently there was an issue that [Lou] wasn't involved in, which is why they didn't arrest him."

"If Lou was fighting in public in Las Vegas they would have arrested his ass ... he wasn't fighting anyone."

Eventually, cops released the cuffs and Williams was sent on his way.

We reached out to the LVMPD for an explanation -- but we haven't gotten one yet.

Conan O'Brien I Don't Steal Jokes From Bloggers

Published | Updated

Conan O'Brien's no Fat Jewish -- he insists he and his staff came up with the jokes they're accused of stealing from a blogger ... who's not all that original anyway, according to Conan's new legal docs.

Robert Kaseberg sued Conan for copyright infringement, claiming several of his monologue jokes were lifted from Kaseberg's online blog -- but Conan responded to the suit this week, saying his material is 100% "independently created."

Truth is, some of the jokes are very similar -- but Conan says Kaseberg's comedy was so general and based on current events, it can't be copyrighted. For instance, they wrote almost identical shrinkage quips about an announcement the Washington Monument is 10 inches shorter than previously thought.

Conan's kinda calling Kaseberg's jokes lame. Yes, that also comes off like a shot at his own monologue writers, but Conan's bigger point is you can't steal something so unoriginal.

Richie Sambora You Snooze, You're Gonna Lose in Court

Published | Updated

Richie Sambora and his ex-girlfriend Nikki Lund just got socked with a big judgment in small claims court, but not because they were in the wrong ... but because they didn't bother to show up.

The short story ... two former employees sued their clothing company, Nikki Rich, because they didn't get their full salary. The employees made their case but Richie and Nikki weren't there to respond, so the judge issued default judgments for just short of $10k.

We have a strong clue on why Richie and Nikki were no-shows .... he's suing her for extortion and defamation after she allegedly tried to frame him with illegally recording a phone call.

Michael Lohan I Got Burglarized!! And Where There's Smoke There's Kate

Published | Updated

Cops rushed to Michael Lohan's Florida home for a suspected burglary, and we've learned he's pointing the finger at his estranged wife, Kate Major.

We're told Michael's mom, who's been staying at the house with Lohan's two kids, was out running errands Thursday and when she got back it appeared someone had been inside. The biggest clue was cigarettes.

We're told Kate smokes Camels and there were butts on the lawn, and a pack in the kitchen. A back closet was left open and items were missing, so Michael's nanny called the cops.

Law enforcement tells us they were called out for a burglary, but because Kate's name is on the lease, no charges will be pressed even if she did break into the house.

Chris Brown Woman Hospitalized After Alleged Security Beatdown

Published | Updated

Chris Brown's posse is accused of beating a woman so badly at a Vegas party she was hospitalized for whiplash.

Jakaria, a 28-year-old insurance agent, tells us she was hanging with Brown and his crew early Sunday at Palms Casino Resort. She says everyone had to leave their phones with his security, and when she went to pick up her 2 phones, his team thought she was trying to steal someone else's.

That's when Jakaria says Brown's security guard got violent, grabbing her by the hair, shaking her around and throwing her to the ground. She says the guard tried to stomp on her but someone mercifully stepped in.

Jakaria says she got home but realized she was in bad shape so she called an ambulance. Doctors told her she had whiplash.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ cops took a battery report and they're looking into the incident.

Kate Major Keep Michael Lohan Away Once He Returns My Maserati!

Published | Updated

9:30 A.M. PST -- Michael tells TMZ he's the one who paid for the car. In fact, he claims he's been supporting Kate for years, even before they were married.

Kate Major is keeping the war with Michael Lohan alive by getting a restraining order against him ... but before they cut ties, she wants her car back.

According to the docs obtained by TMZ, Kate wants Michael to stay 500 ft clear of both her and the Boca Raton school their older son attends.

Kate wants radio silence, but only after Michael returns her Maserati ... she wants the judge to order him to hand over the keys STAT.

Kate also wants spousal support ... $1,000 a week, or $2,000 every other week. She wants child support as well but doesn't say how much.

In her docs ... Kate describes emotional and physical abuse at Lohan's hands. As we reported, police rejected her claim that Michael slapped one of their kids.

Kate got a temporary stay away order. There will be another hearing later this month, where the judge will decide whether to extend the order.

The judge told Kate to take up the money stuff with the family court.

Kris Jenner Sued For Jacking Kim K. Video Game Idea

Published | Updated

Kris Jenner and her agent strung along videogame developers just long enough to rip off their ideas and create the cash cow known as "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" ... according to a new lawsuit.

Kung Fu Factory, the developer, says it was contacted through a rep for the Kardashians in 2011, saying they were interested in creating a Kardashian-themed videogame. According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, Kung Fu says it did the deed ... presenting a proposal for the game to Kris' rep.

Kung Fu says its version was very specific ... including everything from how Kim, Khloe and Kourtney's characters would look, to how the game would be played. However, months went by without any final decision from the Jenner/Kardashian camp ... until Kung Fu finally heard the game talks were "dead."

The videogame jocks say "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" -- released in 2014 -- has many similarities to their copyrighted proposal.

Kung Fu wants unspecified damages, including profits from the game ... which are huge. Forbes estimated it would haul in $200 mil in its first year alone!

Fun fact: The Jenner/Kardshians have a type (and we don't mean black). Kris' agent mentioned in the suit is named Brian Siegrest -- who sounds like the evil twin of Ryan Seacrest, who of course is executive producer of 'KUWTK.'

Michael Lohan Cleared of Criminal Child Abuse Kate's Allegations Unsupported

Published | Updated

Cops have cleared Michael Lohan of criminal child abuse, despite Kate Major's assertion he struck one of their kids.

Kate told child services Michael choked her on Oct 11 during an argument and slapped their son in the face.

Kate showed cops a video she shot during the argument ... according to the police report, the video did not prove Kate's assertion that Michael struck their son. We're told Michael also played audio for cops in which Kate acknowledged he never struck their kid.

TMZ broke the story ... the kids were taken by child services because of the hostile environment they were living in with Michael and Kate ... and the bitter arguing in the video helped prove the point.

Cops were called again to Kate's house just a few days later on Nov 2 after she said Michael came banging on her door. You can hear from the 911 call ... it seems Kate was scared for her life.

Michael's mother currently has custody over the couple's 10-month-old and 2-year-old after a judge's ruling on Tuesday.

Jared Fogle Citizens Write Judge ... Let Him Rot In Jail

Published | Updated

Jared Fogle and his plea deal have triggered outrage by common citizens who are writing to the judge, asking her to lock him up and throw away the key.

Judge Tanya Pratt has been getting letters, some obtained by TMZ, expressing indignation over the 5 to 12 year sentencing range.

One woman complained Jared used his wealth and charity to lure underage kids into having sex with him, making him worse than "a stranger in a panel truck."

Another person complained her son got 10 years for texting a minor and trying to meet up ... a meeting that was never even consummated because of an FBI sting.

The sentiment from people writing in is clear ... if the punishment fits the crime, Jared should get life.

One person is slightly more forgiving, recommending 50 years, writing, "many children who are victims of sexual crimes commit suicide, do drugs or victimize other children."

Pratt will make a decision on Fogle's fate later this month.

Bill Cosby D.A. Election Makes Prosecution More Likely

Published | Updated

Voters in a Philadelphia suburb have spoken and made Bill Cosby a bigger target for prosecution.

Kevin Steele was just elected District Attorney of Montgomery County, where an investigation has been reopened in connection with claims made by Andrea Constand that Cosby drugged and assaulted her.

Steele was running against Bruce Castor, who served as the D.A. when the case was initially rejected back in 2005. Castor had said Constand's credibility was questionable, and during the campaign Steele blasted Castor for his decision, squarely addressing it in TV campaign ads.

During his victory speech, Steele said, "You made a choice to take it forward, to fight for victims, to fight for people who have been the subject of crimes."
