Dr. Luke's legal war with Kesha is NOT going to cost him his job with Sony and, in fact, his relationship with execs there is "excellent" ... according to his team.

Dr. Luke's attorney tells TMZ there is no truth to a report that the record label was dumping him a year early, due to the negative publicity surrounding his battle with Kesha over sexual abuse allegations.

We're told, "Luke has an excellent relationship with Sony. His representatives are in regular contact with executives at the highest levels at Sony, and this has never come up."

We reached out to Sony ... which responded with a "no comment."

The man accused of stalking Mandy Moore -- after repeatedly showing up on her doorstep -- is now officially on notice to stay away ... or else.

Moore was granted a 3 year restraining order Wednesday morning against Salahudin Moultaali. The order says Moultaali must remain 100 yards away from Mandy, her home, vehicles and anywhere she's working.

Moultaali was arrested three times in a two week span outside Mandy's Hollywood home last month after he allegedly left notes saying he was God and Satan, and demanded to speak with the actress.

Moultaali is still facing 3 misdemeanor charges for trespassing, stalking and violating a previous temporary restraining order that Mandy had been granted.

More sad and disturbing details in the arrest of ex-Cowboys running back Joseph Randle -- cops say a beer pong game was at the center of the violent incident that culminated with JR hitting people with his car.

TMZ Sports obtained a police report in which cops say they spoke with several witnesses who claim 24-year-old Randle attended a housewarming party in Wichita, KS on Feb. 21st and played a game of beer pong.

But an argument broke out about who won the match -- with Randle pushing the opposing player onto the balcony of the home. The other man apologized and the situation was briefly diffused.

Randle then went downstairs and continued acting aggressive -- so the party hosts asked him to leave.

Instead, cops say Randle ran back upstairs and attacked party guests -- until several people wrangled Randle and literally pushed him out of the home.

One of the hosts followed Randle outside and asked him to leave -- instead, Randle got in the car and punched it in his direction ... striking the man at somewhere between 20 and 30 mph.

The man was thrown over the top of the car. When others came to assist the victim Randle struck again ... hitting 2 more people.

One of the female victims was hospitalized after losing consciousness several times from the attack.

Randle was eventually arrested and hit with a slew of charges including aggravated battery, threats, possession of marijuana and interfering with law enforcement.

The shooting death of ex Eagle Randy Meisner's wife just got even more bizarre -- a pair of cowboy boot spurs literally triggered the rifle that killed her.

As we reported ... Lana Meisner was killed while moving the case holding the rifle. Law enforcement sources now tell us there were 2 spurs in the case, and when Lana picked up the case ...the spurs fell and hit the trigger.

Katt Williams is once again locked up ... after cops found weed and firearms while serving a search warrant at his house.

The Hall County Sheriff's Office in Georgia say the warrant was part of an investigation into Katt that began on March 1, after one of Katt's bodyguards claimed he was beat with a baseball bat and choked after refusing to "engage in criminal activity" at Katt's behest.

The bodyguard claimed Katt threatened to kill him ... but said the assault was carried out by others in the group.

When cops raided Katt's home Tuesday morning ... they found several firearms, and "large quantities" of marijuana.

Katt was booked for aggravated assault, terroristic threats, and false imprisonment. Cops say they will also add the drug and weapons charges.

Robert Downey Jr.'s son has followed in his footsteps, getting his drug record wiped clean.

Indio Downey showed up at an L.A. courthouse Tuesday morning, where a judge dismissed his cocaine case, after he submitted proof he had successfully completed a drug diversion program.

The dismissal comes 2 months after California Governor Jerry Brown gave Robert Downey Jr. a full pardon for his drug convictions.

Indio spoke to Judge Lauren Weis Birnstein in open court, saying, "I would like to say I am truly grateful for the experience I had over the last 20 months in recovery." He went on, "I'm so blessed to have my life back. I hope to be an inspiration to work with others in the future."

Indio was arrested in June 2014 in West Hollywood when cops drove alongside the vehicle in which he was riding and noticed he was smoking something out of a pipe. Cops found coke on the actor's son.

The dismissal erases the entire criminal case ... it's as if Indio was never even arrested.

50 Cent may not the P.I.M.P. he pretends to be ... because when he shows off his cash on Instagram, it's as fake as Courtney Stodden's boobs.

The rap star has responded in court docs filed Tuesday to allegations he's hiding money from his creditors in his bankruptcy case. The creditors saw 50's slew of social media posts in which he showcased stacks of money.

But 50 now says the Benjamins are phony pics and he's not hiding assets ... it's all for show, to maintain his persona. However, last week he filed documents showing the court he has 65 MILLION in assets.

Erin Andrews won a spectacular victory in her peephole lawsuit, but her $55 million verdict is almost certainly going to get slashed many times over.

Of the $55 million, she will never see a penny from pervert Michael Barrett, who is on the hook for $28 million. Marriott is responsible for the remaining $27 million.

Marriott will almost certainly appeal the verdict, which then opens the door to settlement. There are compelling reasons why Erin might want to settle. It's a huge judgment when you consider there's no physical injury ... just emotional distress. An appeals court could overturn the verdict on grounds it's simply excessive. It's a crapshoot to go forward with an appeal ... for both sides.

The legal experts we've spoken with all say the likelihood is the case will settle ... for somewhere around $20 million on Marriott's part.

Now the lawyers' fees. In lawsuits where a case actually goes to trial, lawyers typically get around 40% of the recoverable judgment. So, if Erin settles with Marriott for $20 million, the lawyers would get $8 million, leaving her with $12 million. And Erin's responsible for costs in preparing the case, which we're told could approach $1 million, leaving her with $11 million.

Now the bad news. In cases where someone wins an award for emotional distress without any physical injuries, the award is taxable. So the $11 million becomes more like $6 million.

The good news ... the lawyers will make a fortune.

Chris Brown is striking back at a guy who got shot at one of his concerts, claiming it's not his problem.

Paul Briley says in a lawsuit he was shot a year ago during a Chris Brown concert in San Jose. He claims Brown is responsible because he attracts violence and should have maintained better security.

Briley points to the fact that there have been 2 shootings during Brown's performances where people have been seriously hurt. In the other incident at 1 OAK in WeHo, 2 people were shot, including Suge Knight.

Brown has now responded, saying it's the club's responsibility -- not his -- to protect patrons.

Chris also says it's unfair to say there have been 2 shootings at his concerts, saying the 1 OAK incident was not his concert ... he was just hosting.

Brown is asking the judge to toss the lawsuit.

2:58 PM PT -- Andrews released a statement thanking the Nashville court personnel and jury for their service. She also said, "I've been honored by all the support from victims around the world. Their outreach has helped me be able to stand up and hold accountable those whose job it is to protect everyone's safety, security and privacy."

2:50 PM PT -- Lawyers, jurors and Andrews herself have been invited to speak to the media. Press conference streaming above.

Erin Andrews just won big in her lawsuit against Marriott ... to the tune of $55 million.

The jury divided the responsibility for paying the award ... pervert Michael Barrett must pay just over $28 mil, and the hotel is on the hook for nearly $27 million.

Erin was asking for $75 million, but this is a clear victory on her part. She may never see a penny from Barrett, but she'll be able to enforce the judgment against the hotel.

The jury deliberated for 6 hours before reaching a unanimous verdict.

After the jury was dismissed, some of the jurors hugged Erin and one asked for her autograph.

Erin sued a Nashville Marriott for the stalking incident in which Barrett, secretly videotaped Erin in her hotel room. She claims the hotel was negligent by giving Barrett a room next to hers, at his request.

Barrett already pled guilty to interstate stalking and served 2 years in prison.

Meek Mill is a week into his 90 day house arrest but his lawyers just filed an appeal to change his sentence, so he can work.

We're told Meek doesn't have a problem with the time ... it's the stipulation about not being able to rap or perform that's got him bent out of shape.

Sources close to the rapper tell TMZ Meek has a studio at his home and he wants to continue churning out music. His famed lawyer, Joe Tacopina, filed the appeal.

A Philadelphia judge ordered the house arrest for violating his probation in a drug and gun possession case, and isn't allowing him to rap or perform.

Ex-NFL running back Joseph Randle has been ordered to receive treatment at an inpatient facility after his own legal team raised concerns about his mental health ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Randle's life has been falling apart -- having been arrested 6 times in 17 months in several bizarre incidents ... including underwear theft, casino fights and allegedly running someone over with his car.

Now, TMZ Sports has obtained court docs filed in Kansas stemming from his February car attack arrest in which his attorneys say a mental health professional has raised concerns about Randle's mental health and "his ability to make decisions and control his behaviors."

The mental health professional recommended Randle receive at least 30 days in an inpatient treatment facility.

The judge in the case sided with Randle's team -- and ordered him to receive treatment as part of his bond ... and will allow him to work with the NFL Players Association to select the facility.

As part of the terms of the bond, Randle must submit weekly progress reports detailing his treatment.

The wife of former Eagles member Randy Meisner was shot and killed Sunday at the couple's home.

Lana Rae Meisner was shot dead in the couple's Studio City home. The police are now conducting a death investigation.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, an hour and a half before Randy called to report his wife had been shot, Lana Rae called 911 to report domestic violence at the house. She claims he was waiving a BB gun and "acting erratically."

The second call came in at 6:59 PM ... Randy told cops his wife went into another room, closed the door and he heard a gun shot. He says he went into the room and discovered she was shot in the head.

We're told at 4:45 AM Monday Randy was taken to the hospital after "acting in an altered state."

The couple has had many conflicts in the past. Randy's kids tried to get a conservatorship based on his alleged mental instability. At some point he was in an Encino hospital where he threatened to kill everyone there with an AK-47.

Kelly Clarkson went nuts on Dr. Luke, saying he's a terrible person and that she was "blackmailed" by Sony to work with Luke ... similar to claims Kesha has been making.

Kelly was on KIIS FM in Australia Monday and said she likes everyone she works with ... except Luke. She says they've clashed in a very bad way and he's a known liar.

DJ's Kyle and Jackie O pressed Kelly about Kesha's rape claim, but she says she's had no similar experience with Luke and couldn't judge.

A Massachusetts company could hit the jackpot on the "House of Cards" casino game ... and it won't even have to pull a lever.

The Netflix show's production company, Media Rights Capital, is being sued by a company called D2.

According to legal docs ... D2 has owned the rights to the "House of Cards" mark for use in gaming since 2009, when it registered the phrase for a radio show of the same name.

The company also obtained the rights to have "House of Cards" slapped on hats, t-shirts and bumper stickers long before the drama debuted on Netflix in 2013.

D2 claims MRC even attempted to register the mark themselves but were denied since D2 already had it ... but nevertheless went forward with selling merch with "House of Cards" stamped all over it.

D2 says MRC even took it a step further when they licensed "House of Cards" -- which D2 says it owns -- to gaming giant IGT to make two slot machines -- "House of Cards Power and Money" and "House of Cards Welcome to Washington" that were installed in casinos.

D2 wants to put a stop to the slot machines and is looking to score damages.

Vida Guerra is worried someone's on her ass ... and she wants help from the LAPD to keep it safe.

According to our sources, the butt model filed a police report claiming she's been receiving emails from an obsessed fan. We're told the guy has been professing his love for her, making a full-court press for a happily ever after relationship.

Law enforcement sources tell us the LAPD doesn't feel the emails are particularly threatening ... just really creepy ... but they've opened an investigation just to be safe.
