CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

Caitlyn Jenner has just filed legal docs to hold the driver of the Prius in the fatal PCH crash at least partially responsible for the accident.

Caitlyn has filed a cross-complaint against Jessica Steindorff, the Prius driver, who was in front of Caitlyn at the time of the February crash. TMZ broke the story ... Caitlyn's SUV crashed into the Lexus, driven by Kim Howe, then continued on to strike the Prius. The Lexus careened into oncoming traffic and was struck by a Hummer, killing Howe.

Caitlyn is being sued by the driver and passengers of the Hummer, but in the new legal docs she says if she's on the hook she wants Steindorff to absorb at least partial responsibility.

Our sources say the basis for the alleged negligence on Steindorff's part is that she was sitting at the light after it turned green because she had been inattentive.

According to Jessica's attorney, Robert Simon, "It's unfortunate that she continues to not take responsibility for a crash she clearly caused."

The battle over "Lights Out" is officially over ... with Nike and ex-NFL star Shawne Merriman striking a settlement agreement after Merriman had filed an $18 MILLION lawsuit against the company.

Merriman -- who's nicknamed "Lights Out" and created his own Lights Out clothing brand years ago -- initially filed the suit back in 2014 ... claiming Nike violated his trademark by creating their own "Lights Out" clothing line.

At the time, he demanded more than $18 million in damages.

But now, the two sides have ended the legal battle -- filing a joint motion to dismiss the suit in a United States District Court.

A rep for Merriman says the two sides are on good terms -- and issued the following statement:

Master P got paid a quarter of a million bucks to do a New Year's Eve concert in Dubai, but the whole deal fell apart when he couldn't deliver Snoop Dogg ... according to a lawsuit.

A promoter in Dubai says he struck the deal in November 2015 and paid Master P a $255,000 deposit. The promoter says part of the deal was that P would also bring Snoop to perform at the show. The lawsuit doesn't say who would headline.

It does say Master P was supposed to refund the cash if he found out Snoop was already booked. Lo and behold ... the promoter says he discovered Snoop was scheduled to play at the Venetian in Las Vegas.

He demanded the money back, but says Master P ignored him. He's suing for the $255k plus damages for lying about Snoop's availability.

The woman who claimed Chris Brown and his crew hit her and tossed her out of a Las Vegas party ... has now filed a lawsuit against him.

Liziane Gutierrez filed docs in Clark County, NV ... laying out the details of the story TMZ broke: She says she went to Chris' room at the Palms Hotel and Casino, and then someone -- Chris or someone in his crew -- hit her in the "face and/or arm and/or hands."

In the suit, she also says someone in the room took her cell phone.

Gutierrez is suing for battery, theft and also defamation -- over that video Chris posted calling her "too ugly" to be in his party.

As we've reported ... Vegas police cleared Chris of any criminal wrongdoing for lack of evidence.

Harrison Ford's busted leg on the set of 'The Force Awakens' just got the 'Star Wars' production slapped with 4 criminal charges in England.

The U.K.'s Health and Safety Executive brought the charges against Foodles Production Ltd. -- a Disney subsidiary -- claiming it violated health & safety codes when Han Solo went down during filming.

Back in June 2014 ... a hydraulic metal door on the Millenium Falcon slammed on Ford at Pinewood Studios. Foodles will have to face the judge in May.

Good thing they didn't see what happened to Han later during filming!

Teresa Giudice says she would have gotten house arrest if she was just Jane Doe, claiming she was sentenced to hard time because she's a celeb.

Teresa will be on "TMZ Live" Thursday, and she's very clear about her belief ... she had a big fat target on her forehead because she's high profile.

The 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star says her daughter Gia has changed career paths because of the sentence and her mom's harsh treatment behind bars.

Watch 'Live' Thursday ... she also talks about where she stands on the 'Housewives' power rankings.

Former O.J. Simpson prosecutor Chris Darden claims one of his baby mamas has been hounding and harassing him for months, making allegations he traded legal services for sex.

Darden just got a restraining order against Celia Smith, whom he says was upset because he didn't get her an apartment back in June. According to Darden's legal docs, Smith is angry that he got another one of his baby mamas an apartment but didn't get her one.

Darden acknowledges he has a 2-year-old daughter with Smith.

According to Darden, back in June, Smith posted on his law office's Yelp page, "Mr. Darden has sex with his clients if you don't have enough money to hire him, and you have p***y he will take your case." He says she rants on that he has "7 kids by 7 different women."

Darden also says Smith has developed a fixation with the O.J. Simpson case, emailing him under the name "Nicole Brown Simpson." He says she's unstable and needs psychiatric intervention.

Darden says Smith has demanded to know how much money he's getting from the FX show, 'The People v. O.J. Simpson.' He says, "She rejected my true claim that I was neither consulted, contracted, paid or involved in any way with the show."

Kendall Jenner's calling out a skin treatment company in a lawsuit, and the takeaway is this -- she gets paid way more money than we thought, and she's very, very, VERY successful.

Kendall's beef is with Cutera, which used her face and name to advertise their Laser Genesis acne treatment. The ad takes credit for Kendall's "nearly flawless skin" -- but she says she never gave them permission and she never had any deal with Cutera.

The bigger point in this suit comes in the extensive rundown of 20-year-old Kendall's career. As stated in the docs, she has "graced the covers of the world's most prestigious fashion magazines, including Vogue, Vogue Paris, Vogue Japan, Vogue Brazil, Harper's Bazaar (shot by Karl Lagerfeld), Allure, GQ, Glamour, Marie Claire, LOVE, Interview, Paper, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Cleo, Garage, Dazed, Raine and BLANK, amongst others."

There's even more about her runway work and department stores and blah blah blah ... we'll spare you.

But in the docs, Kendall says she'd command a fee well into 8 FIGURES to do a worldwide endorsement of a product like Cutera. So, she wants the company to hand over its profits ... which better total at least $10 million.

"Little Women: LA" star Christy McGinity learned rolling through an intersection -- even just a little -- can prove costly.

Christy appeared before Judge Marilyn Milian Monday for a taping of "The People's Court." She was being sued by a woman who claimed Christy slammed into her Mercedes at a L.A. intersection.

Christy climbed a step ladder to give the judge a blow-by-blow, but in the end, it was her admission she rolled through a red light to make a right that sunk her.

Shia LaBeouf and his mom are so determined to get back the money he loaned his uncle, they're willing to kick him and his wife out of their home ... according to his aunt.

Shia's aunt, Sharon Saide, just filed legal docs saying she's the sole owner of the Upper East Side apartment Shia's been trying to take to settle the debt her husband owes.

According to docs, in 2013 the courts ordered Uncle Barry to pay back $840k. Shia had loaned him the money in 2009 to cover business expenses. The sum has ballooned with interest to nearly $1 million.

Sharon says the deed to the apartment is in her name because it was purchased mostly with her inheritance money, and Barry's name isn't on the deed. Her point is Shia can't take it to cover Barry's debt.

She also says the apartment's worth $2.8 million -- way more than what Barry owes -- and her nephew is just trying to "intimidate and pressure" them into giving up the property.

"Mob Wives" star Drita D'Avanzo was arrested Tuesday for allegedly cracking open a can o' whoop ass on a woman in Staten Island.

NYPD sources tells us D'Avanzo got into a verbal dispute with another woman, and when things got heated ... D'Avanzo threw and landed several punches.

By the time the fight fizzled out, cops were on the scene and arrested the mob wife.

"Love & Hip Hop: NY" star Tahiry Jose says the brutal attack by a man backstage at a 2014 NYC fashion show left her $31k in the hole from medical bills and she's suing to get it back.

Tahiry just filed new legal docs in her suit against Carlos Fiasco, the man who copped a plea deal and got off with no jail time, and the fashion show and theater where the assault took place.

In the docs, she lists off her injuries from the assault -- cervical sprain, several disc injuries, wrist derangement, concussion and post-traumatic headaches. She says the pain got so bad she needed an epidural.

Tahiry says she had to drop $8k just for a neurologist and $5.5k for rehab. She's suing for her total medical bill -- the $31k -- plus damages for suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.

Ciara's throwing $15 million rocks from inside a giant glass house ... which is why Future thinks she doesn't have a chance in hell of winning a dime off him.

Sources close to Future tell TMZ, the rapper thinks it's absurd his baby mama filed the slander suit, since she's talked plenty of trash on him. We're told he believes Exhibit A is her 2015 platinum selling hit, "I Bet."

With lyrics like ... "You know that it hurts your pride but you thought the grass was greener on the other side. I bet you start loving me as soon as I start loving someone else. Somebody better than you” -- the song is widely believed to be about Future allegedly cheating on Ciara.

Our source says he could've sued over that, but didn't want to be petty. As for whether he fires back with a lawsuit now -- we're told he's considering it, but hasn't seen Ciara's docs yet. His team claims the process server at LAX failed to deliver.

Bottom line: it's a safe bet this is gonna get much uglier.

Kanye West thinks Bill Cosby is getting railroaded ... if Kanye's Twitter feed can be trusted, that is.

Honestly, Kanye's been on one over the last few hours -- ranting about a bunch of things, but he just topped them all with ... "BILL COSBY INNOCENT !!!!!!!"

It's unclear if 'Ye's been hacked, or if he's just getting stuff off his chest.

What is 100% clear is his album drops on Thursday -- which makes this the perfect time to get as much attention as possible.

We're sure Cosby is not complaining.

Taryn Manning's latest legal showdown with her ex-friend and makeup artist came to an abrupt ending in an L.A. courtroom.

Taryn's accuser, Holly Hartman, did not show up for Tuesday's hearing where she was attempting to get a restraining order against Taryn -- so the judge dismissed the case.

Hartman had claimed the "Orange is the New Black" star brutally attacked her last year in New York City. Taryn denies the attack, saying she's actually the victim and is strongly considering legal action against Hartman.

A die hard Wu-Tang Clan fan's artwork ended up in the band's $2 million album, but he's not happy about it -- he's suing Martin Shkreli and RZA.

Jason Koza says he submitted 9 hand drawn portraits of Wu-Tang members to be posted on a blog called Wu Disciples, but was pleasantly surprised when the group's producer Cilvaringz contacted him in 2014 to say he was working on the "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" record.

Koza says he never heard another word from Cilvaringz or anyone affiliated with the Wu, and then in 2015 he found out the single copy, one-of-a-kind album was completed, and included a leather-bound book with copies of his portraits.

The final dagger came when Shkreli -- who dropped the $2 mil for 'Shaolin' -- allowed Vice to post 3 of his portraits ... Raekwon, ODB and Inspecta Deck .. in a January article.

Koza feels like he's been royally screwed and wants Shkreli, RZA and Cilvaringz to pay up.
