CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

Blake Shelton says he has never been to rehab and says the magazine that claimed he had almost ruined his career.

Blake has filed a sworn declaration in his lawsuit against In Touch, which claimed he went to rehab after hitting "rock bottom."

Blake has a laundry list of items the magazine published he says are false:

-- "I have never been to rehab."

-- "I did not then nor have I ever hit rock bottom."

-- "I do not drink excessively, binge drink or have a drinking problem."

-- "I do not drink vodka before 11 AM."

-- "I am never drunk, intoxicated, or unable to perform my job on 'The Voice.'"

-- "I do not slur my words or stumble when I drink."

-- "I have never urinated on a mailbox."

He goes on to say the mag lied in accusing him of infidelity. He says, "My ex-wife Miranda Lambert did not catch me with a bunch of naked women in our Tennessee home."

Judy Smith says, "The story was categorically false. Blake said enough is enough and decided to fight back."

Ralphie May's estranged wife is poisoning their 2 children against him and refusing to let them see him ... according to new docs filed in his divorce -- which is getting VERY nasty.

Ralphie is upset because Lahna Turner is keeping the kids in Los Angeles ... while he's at the home in Tennessee -- but he says what really ticked him off is that she destroyed their Ketubah.

The Ketubah is the Jewish marriage contract, and Ralphie says she shattered the glass box that held theirs, then stabbed it repeatedly with scissors ... right in front of him and their children. In the docs, he also says she ripped photos off the wall and cursed at him.

Ralphie insists the family lives in Nashville and the divorce should be handled there. For her part, Lahna calls Nashville more of a vacation home where the family spent some holidays. She says home is L.A. ... where the kids are enrolled in school.

Jared Fogle has been sued by one of his child porn victims ... the first of what will probably be many similar lawsuits.

A girl identified as "Jane Doe" claims she was a repeated guest at the home of Russell Taylor, the man who shared child porn with Fogle. According to the suit, Taylor had installed multiple hidden cameras concealed in clock radios, positioned to capture minors changing their clothes and bathing.

"Jane Doe" says between March 2011 and January 2015, Taylor got nude video and pics of her and other minors. The lawsuit goes on, claiming Fogle solicited the videos from Taylor, who was more than accommodating.

Rose McGowan's dog crushed a woman's skull and now she lies in a bed severely brain damaged and is gunning for millions of dollars ... so she claims in a new lawsuit.

Elna Ebner claims she and her daughter were taking a walk in the Hollywood Hills last July when Rose's dog walker came along with her large mutt, Mrs. Noodle, and a small pooch. The 85-year-old woman says Noodle jumped up and planted its paws on her, causing her to fall backwards.

Ebner claims her head hit the cement, cracking her skull. We're told Ebner suffered extreme brain damage and now lies in her bed with 24 hour care.

Rose is a named defendant in the suit because she owns Mrs. Noodle, but we're told Ebner has made a multi-million dollar demand to the actress' insurance company. It has not been resolved.

Rose tells TMZ, "Elna walks through the neighborhood every day. She's a trooper. I was working in NYC when my dog walker stopped to talk to two of my neighbors, an 85 year old mother and her older daughter. My sweet as pie foster dog, Mrs. Noodle, a large but terribly gentle mixed breed, put her paws on the knees of a woman that stands 4'7"."

Ted Cruz just folded like a cheap suit after being threatened by -- get this -- some yoga guys.

Breathe Yoga Wear went after the candidate for hawking a yoga mat called "Breathe" -- a play on his jab at Trump during a recent Republican debate.

Turns out the company owns the "Breathe" yoga franchise, so it challenged the Harvard Law grad, threatening to haul his butt into court if he didn't back down.

Cruz, who had been selling the mat on his campaign website, may stand up to Trump, but he went all downward dog, yanking the "Breathe" branding from public view.

So now he's just selling plain yoga mats. Not a bad plan B if the whole campaign thing doesn't work out.

Chris Brown has turned the tables on the woman who was arrested for trespassing at his house -- because now he won't stop threatening her on social media ... according to her, anyway.

Danielle Patti filed for a temporary restraining order against Chris, claiming he's repeatedly harassed her on his social media platforms and said he'd like to see her dead. She also says they used to date.

Patti is the same woman who ... as we reported, was arrested in December when she allegedly drove onto Chris' property and refused to leave.

In the docs, filed by Patti herself, she tells it differently ... claiming she was trying to leave, but couldn't because someone parked a car in front of hers. She says Chris called the cops and she was arrested. She claims she was cleared of all charges.

A self-described "objectivist, atheist and independent/former radio DJ" is suing "The Breakfast Club" for allegedly defaming and threatening him during a radio interview.

DJ Star says in a new lawsuit The Game went all rogue on the show back in September when he threatened to break Star's jaw, because he was pissed off that Star was in a feud with 'Breakfast Club' star DJ Envy.

Star, who represents himself in the lawsuit, does not explain the reason for defamation, but we know he's pissed off because he believes Envy derailed his career and Game jumped in the fray.

DJ Star wants $10 mil to make things right.

"The Breakfast Club" had no comment.

Cesar Millan wants the world to know he held the bacon when it comes to the pig that was attacked at his training facility -- 'cause the animal's all grown up and healed.

Millan posted the most tranquil appearing clip of the swine tooling around his Dog Psychology Center, and seeming happy as a pig in, well ... ya know. Naturally, the clip has closeups of the pig's ear ... and it does look healed.

Cesar thanked fans for supporting him and said, "the pig has lots of new friends."

You can't help but notice how much bigger the pig is compared to the bloody scene on "Cesar 911." It's unclear how much time has passed since that episode was shot.

"Bar Rescue" host Jon Taffer has one qualification for his employees ... attain hot chick status, so claims a guy who is suing the host for discrimination.

Tsang Han Wang -- an Asian-American guy is his 20s -- claims in his lawsuit Taffer hired him as a project manager, but fired him because the host "preferred to have young, attractive females employed."

Wang claims hot women were given jobs way above their skill set because Jon liked them. He says, "Taffer enjoys being surrounded by women, and acts like a bachelor despite being married." The suit goes on to explain, "He has spoken publicly on methods of picking up girls from bars."

Wang says the hot chicks took over his job and Taffer then concocted a plan to 86 him by giving him a job he couldn't do ... programming and writing code for the BarHQ app.

Wang, who's repped by Cody Knight, claims sex and racial discrimination.

We reached out to Spike TV for comment ... so far, no word back.

Jon wasn't talking hiring practices when he got him a couple years ago, but he did tell us there is a different arena where looks count.

Justin Bieber dug into his pockets -- but not very far -- to settle with a paparazzo who sued him.

Jose Osmin Hernandez had sued Biebs for assaulting him 3 years ago, claiming the singer kicked him MMA style and punched him at The Commons in Calabasas during a date with Selena Gomez.

Sources tell us the case has settled but the amount is in the "legal nuisance" territory, meaning Bieber would have paid more in attorneys' fees so it made sense just to throw some money at the guy.

The case has been dismissed.

Ashanti not only faced her stalker in court Wednesday ... he went after her with a barrage of provocative questions.

Devar Hurd is on trial for the third time ... this time it's a retrial for felony stalking targeting the singer.

Hurd, who's representing himself, grilled Ashanti, reading back some of the tweets he sent her, including, "eating p**** from the back tastes better from a flight to Russia." He asked her if she saw his tweet, and she responded she had, "I saw the disgusting tweet and was insulted."

Hurd was undeterred, firing back, "Why didn't you tell me to stop or block me?"

And then the stalker said, "I know how you are when it comes to our sex life ... us f****** is very emotional on both ends." To that, Ashanti said nothing ... she just crossed her arms and closed her eyes.

Hurd also laid into Ashanti about her provocative concerts, saying, "You do lap dances for your performances, correct?" And then he added, "I don't have a problem with it, I'm just saying."

Hurd sent other lewd text messages, including "wrap your thick ass thighs and legs around my shoulders and neck and palm my head and put my mouth on your tight p****."

If convicted, Hurd could get 4 years in prison.

Ex-Michigan State basketball star Mateen Cleaves was arraigned in his sexual assault case Wednesday morning -- pleaded not guilty to the charges -- and was ultimately released on bond.

As we previously reported, the 39-year-old -- who also played in the NBA -- has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a motel room last year. The woman, 24, says she escaped after the assault and got help from someone in a nearby room.

Cleaves was charged with:
-- Unlawful Imprisonment (15-year maximum penalty)
-- Assault with Intent to Commit Criminal Sexual Penetration (10 year maximum penalty)
-- Criminal Sexual Conduct 2nd Degree (15-year maximum penalty)
-- Two counts of Criminal Sexual Conduct 3rd Degree (15-years maximum penalty).

Moments ago, the judge let Cleaves out on a $150,000 personal recognizance bond -- which means he promised to show up to the next hearing ... and if he doesn't, he'll be forced to pay $150k.

The prosecutor in the case is PISSED ... claiming Cleaves is receiving undeserved special treatment -- specially because his arraignment was moved up a day without her knowledge.

"I don't know how they do things in Genesee County but we try our best to be as transparent as possible when my office is involved," prosecutor Kym Worthy said.

"There was an agreement with all of the parties that the defendant would turn himself in and be arraigned in open court‎ tomorrow -- not for him to have a back door arraignment."

Jared Fogle got a surprise beatdown in federal prison from an inmate who has major issues with child molesters ... TMZ has learned.

According to docs, Fogle got jumped in the rec yard at Englewood prison in Colorado back on January 29, and it was not much of a fight. An inmate named Steven Nigg pushed Fogle down and then unloaded a barrage of punches to his face.

Nigg, who's in for a weapons charge, left Fogle with a bloody nose, swollen face and scratches on his neck. 60-year-old Nigg was also injured -- a small cut on his left hand from delivering the whuppin'. Prison officials put Nigg in solitary as punishment.

We spoke to Nigg's family and they're not surprised. We're told Steven's pissed because so many child sex predators are housed in the low security facility, and Fogle was just the last straw.

Jared's attorney had no comment. We don't wanna say karma, but ... oops.

The folks suing Mark Wahlberg and The Rock for allegedly ripping off the idea for the HBO show "Ballers" have now put a price tag on the lawsuit ... $200 MILLION.

As we reported, Everette Silas and Sherri Littleton filed the lawsuit in December, claiming there are 27 similarities between "Ballers" and a show they created back in 2007 called "Off Season."

"Ballers" -- a show in which The Rock is a retired football player who becomes a financial advisor -- has been picked up for a second season.

Silas and Littleton claim they brought the idea to Wahlberg, The Rock and their managers in 2009 but the project fell apart over a creative credit. They claim the similarities include

-- Both "Ballers" and "Off Season" are about football players and their lives off-field

-- Both are set in Miami

-- Both center around African-American athletes

Charlie Sheen is pleading (celeb) poverty with his other ex-wife, Denise Richards ... insisting his child support payments to her have to be reduced, just like Brooke Mueller's.

Charlie's filed docs that are almost identical to what he filed nearly 2 weeks ago. Just like Brooke, he says he's been paying $55k per month to Denise. She's been getting that amount since 2009, but now it's too much for him to handle because "my income has drastically declined."

One of the people behind The Fappening -- the hacking and release of nude pics and vids belonging to more than a dozen celebrities -- was busted by the feds, and is now pleading guilty.

Ryan Collins was charged with unauthorized access to a protected computer. The feds say Collins is responsible for hacking into the computers of more than 100 victms -- at least 18 of them famous -- and downloading their photos and videos.

According to the docs, he got in through Apple iCloud and Gmail accounts between Nov. 1, 2012 and Sep. 2, 2014 ... using a phishing scheme.

Some of the famous Fappening victims included Kate Upton, Jennifer Lawrence, Kirsten Dunst and Hope Solo. It's unclear if Collins hacked their accounts in particular. He has not been charged with leaking the material to the public.
