Rob Kardashian Nailed for Triple Digit Speeding
Rob Kardashian's mission to bail out Blac Chyna cost him dearly -- TWO huge speeding tickets, one of which could cost him his license ... that is, if he had one.
Rob told us on Monday he'd lost his driver's license, and hinted it had something to do with outstanding tickets. That's not exactly what happened. We've learned Rob's license expired on his birthday, March 17.
His bigger problem is speeding. You'll recall, when BC got arrested in Texas ... Rob hopped in his Bentley and blazed across the desert to rescue her. According to law enforcement sources, New Mexico cops nailed him on Jan. 30 when he was headed east.
Then on Jan. 31 -- on his way home with Chyna -- CHiPs clocked Rob doing 107 mph in a 70 through Blythe, CA.
Rob's attorney was actually in court Tuesday, and entered a not guilty plea for that ticket. The expired license is just a trip to the DMV, but getting out of the 107 is gonna be tougher.

Blake Shelton Big Legal Victory In Defamation Case
Blake Shelton just scored a big victory in his defamation lawsuit against In Touch ... the judge squarely rejected the magazine's bid to have the case thrown out ... and the judge scoffed at the editor's assertion they never wrote he was in rehab ... just that he should go.
The judge was clear ... the magazine was telling its readers Blake had an alcohol problem and went to rehab. The judge said false claims of rehab are libelous ... period. That's bad for In Touch.
The judge went even further ... saying the magazine knew full well when they published the story that Blake had not been to rehab. And, the judge said, the fact that they ran the headline anyway is powerful proof of malice -- something Blake needs to show to win the case.
One more interesting thing ... In Touch pointed to some of Blake's tweets in which he talks/jokes about him being a drunk. The magazine claimed since he cultivates an image of a hard-drinking party boy he can't sue for defamation. The judge called BS on that claim.
The case will now proceed to trial.

Ex-NY Giants WR Preston Parker 2nd Drug Arrest in 3 Weeks ... Did You Just Throw Pot?
It's deja vu all over again for ex-NY Giants wide receiver Preston Parker -- who was arrested for allegedly trying to ditch drugs during a traffic stop this week ... the 2ND time in 3 weeks.
Parker -- who was cut by the Giants in 2015 after dropping a TON of passes -- was pulled over in Boynton Beach, FL on Monday for illegal tint on his black Chevy Malibu. During the stop, cops say he tossed a clear bag of the sticky icky out of his window.
Cops found the bag and tried to take Parker into custody while he reportedly resisted.
But just 3 weeks ago, cops say they had almost the exact same experience with the 29-year-old -- with drama beginning after a stop for tinted windows.
Only that time, cops say Parker tried to ditch COCAINE -- and when they finally pulled him over, they allegedly found a fully loaded gun in his car.
Hope he saved some of that NFL cash for a good lawyer ...

Christian Slater My Dad Almost Killed Me Before I Was Born
Christian Slater doesn't need a medical degree to know his father is suffering from manic depressive schizophrenia -- he says he's gotten all the evidence he needs from his mother.
The "Mr. Robot" star just filed docs to get his dad Thomas Knight Slater's defamation lawsuit tossed, and in the docs he says his mother first told him about his father's diagnosis. He says she told him Thomas was taken to Bellevue Hospital in a straitjacket in 1972 after threatening to kill her and Christian.
He adds his father also pushed his mom into a busy street when she was pregnant with Christian ... according to her.
And there's this -- Christian included copies of rambling postcards he says his dad sent ... telling Christian he'd be nothing without him. For instance, one read ... "I take FULL CREDIT: I'm the vital ingredient."
We broke the story, Thomas sued his son for talking about his diagnosis in an interview.
Christian says his dad, an actor, hasn't worked since 1988 due to his mental health issues.

Jared Fogle Prosecutors Say Shocking Sex Texts Justify Sentence
Jared Fogle got what he deserved ... more than the maximum recommended sentence for child molestation ... this according to prosecutors who just submitted Fogle's text messages showing shocking depravity.
Fogle is asking an appeals court to throw out his 15.6 year sentence, claiming the judge should not have sentenced him to more than the max recommended in the plea deal -- 12 1/2 years.
The U.S. Attorney just filed legal docs saying Fogle's conduct warrants the harsher sentence, pointing to text messages he sent to a woman who apparently procured minors for his sexual pleasure.
In one text, Fogle writes, "Is your Asian friend available?" She responds, "Are you going to pay me, too, or can I come back?" He replies, "I'll pay you big for a 14 or 15-year-old."
Fogle and the woman then haggle over price -- he's willing to pay $400 if the child is 16 or younger. He then says, "Do you have any access to any young girls? Like 15 or 16?" She asks, "Why, baby?" He says, "Cause it's what I crave."

Blake Shelton I Drink, Get Over It!
Blake Shelton sent a message to his fans -- and possibly In Touch magazine -- about his boozing habits during his latest concert.
Blake played the Tortuga Music Festival in Fort Lauderdale this weekend ... and while onstage he took several healthy swigs from a cup that read, "I drink, get over it" -- and he made sure cameras captured the phrase.
Blake recently filed a defamation lawsuit against In Touch for its cover story about him hitting "rock bottom" and going to rehab. In Touch says there's no defamation, since Blake's proudly created a hard drinking image.
We suspect these pics might end up in court.
As Blake puts it (in song) ... "Cause the more I drink, the more I drink."

Rick Ross Sorry Mr. President Did I Beep?
Rick Ross was like a loud fart in a quiet room when his ankle bracelet went off over the weekend at the White House.
Ross was there along with a bunch of other rappers -- Nicki Minaj, Busta Rhymes, J. Cole, Wale and DJ Khaled -- to support Obama's Brother's Keeper youth initiative, ironically to keep men of color out of trouble.
It was a serious and fancy affair ... enough to get Ross in a suit, which covered the ankle monitor he has to wear ... a condition of release in his kidnapping case.
Sources on scene tell TMZ Obama finished his speech when Ross' anklet ripped through the silence.
We're told Ross was even surprised ... the anklet's new and it randomly beeps.
So ... whoever heard it blurted it?

Donald Trump Sued I Never Begged Him for a Job ... He Wanted Me!
The Trump campaign brushed off Jacobus, saying ... "This is just another frivolous lawsuit and an attempt to gain notoriety at the expense of Donald Trump."
Donald Trump went on the attack against a GOP strategist, dismissing her as a loser who was desperate to get a job with his campaign, but in a new lawsuit she insists it was the other way around.
Cheri Jacobus is pissed that after she was critical of Trump -- calling him a "bad debater" on CNN -- Donald and campaign manager Corey Lewandowski blasted her on TV and Twitter.
Lewandowski went on MSNBC and said Jacobus "came to the office on multiple occasions trying to get a job from the Trump Campaign, and when she wasn't hired clearly she went off and was upset by that."
Trump tweeted, "Turned her down twice and she went hostile. Major loser, zero credibility."
Really dumb @CheriJacobus. Begged my people for a job. Turned her down twice and she went hostile. Major loser, zero credibility!
@realDonaldTrump
But in her defamation lawsuit, Cheri says Trump's people started actively recruiting her back in May 2015. She includes multiple emails and Facebook messages with Corey and other Trump staffers ... who encouraged her to join the campaign. They even discussed salary ... Cheri wanted $19k/month to be Trump's communications director.
They never sealed the deal ... she says negotiations soured in June 2015. Cheri says Trump and Lewandowski's lies damaged her rep in the political biz -- she's suing for at least $2 million.

Kanye West The LIES of Pablo ... Sued Over Tidal Promise
Kanye West pulled a fast one on his fans by backing out on a promise that Tidal would be the ONLY place to get his new album ... at least that's how one pissed off fan sees it, and he's suing.
You'll recall, Kanye vowed "The Life of Pablo" would never be available on Apple or Spotify or any other streaming service besides Tidal ... which of course is owned by his pal Jay Z.
Justin Baker-Rhett says that was enough to get him to sign up for Tidal -- and it worked on 2 million other Yeezus fans who also bought subscriptions. In his class action lawsuit, he says the bump saved the floundering service because the new users added $84 million to Tidal's bottom line.
My album will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale... You can only get it on Tidal.
@kanyewest
But then lo and behold ... 'Pablo' was up on Apple Music, Spotify and eventually Kanye's own website too.
Baker-Rhett feels like he and other fans were tricked into "paying for Tidal's rescue." He clearly regrets dropping that $9.99 for the service. He's suing Kanye and Tidal for damages.

Johnny Depp & Amber Heard Bizarre Video Apology Gets 'Em Off the Hook in Dog Case
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard ended Australia's "war on terrier" by striking a plea deal that required them to record an awesomely awkward video apology.
Depp's wife pled guilty to falsifying immigration docs when they brought their 2 dogs into Aussie land last year. She failed to declare them which violated the country's strict quarantine laws.
Johnny and Amber appeared in a Sydney court Monday morning to enter her plea and submit a videotaped apology. Prosecutors dropped other charges, including illegal importation -- she could've gotten 10 years in prison for that one.
The best part of the deal though is their apology. We won't say it looks like a hostage situation, but ... it looks like a hostage situation.
David Hasselhoff No More Alimony!!! I Want to Retire
David Hasselhoff wants time on the beach -- for retirement, not "Baywatch" -- but an obstacle is standing in his way ... his ex-wife.
The Hoff filed legal docs asking a judge to cut off all spousal support to Pamela Bach, whom he divorced in 2006. David's been paying Pam $21,000 a month for nearly 10 years, and he says she's made absolutely no effort to become self-supporting.
David tells the judge he's getting to the age where retirement should be looming, but he says that can't happen with a gigantic, monthly alimony nut.
The 63-year-old says he's looting his retirement account because his monthly gross -- $112,000 -- is not enough to cover his expenses and spousal support.
David says Pam, who's 52, is a talented actor and producer and could easily get a job.

Derrick Rose Demanded Rape Accuser Turn Over Used Condoms
Derrick Rose gave his rape accuser a list of demands prior to her deposition ... including one very odd request -- used condoms from the night she was allegedly gang raped.
During preparation for a deposition in January ... Rose and his attorneys submitted a request for materials related to the case. They asked the accuser for the usual stuff -- texts, photos and emails. They also asked for "any and all condoms that you retained as evidence from after the alleged rape."
You'll recall the woman claims Rose and 2 of his friends drugged her, then got into her apartment later that night and raped her ... back in August 2013. She's suing for more than $20 million.
It's unclear if Rose's request is based on direct knowledge she held onto condoms that now would be well over 2 years old. It's also unclear how they would impact the case.
Based on the docs, it's clear the accuser produced some of the requested materials ... like texts. We don't know if she ever gave up the jimmy caps.

Katt Williams Stay Out or Else! Banned for Fighting Kid
Pretty soon Katt Williams won't be able to leave his own bedroom without getting arrested -- we've learned he could be locked up if he sets foot on a bunch of properties in Georgia.
A rep for the Gainesville Housing Authority tells TMZ ... Katt's been banned from all 14 of their housing complexes around town because of that brawl he had with a teenager. That went down at the Melrose Apartments -- a property managed by G.H.A.
Law enforcement sources confirm Katt will be arrested if he returns to any of the properties.
We'd say stay home, Katt ... but he's been busted there too.

Tom Cruise Movie Death Untrained Pilot Killed My Husband ... Widow Sues
The widow of a pilot killed on the set of Tom Cruise's Pablo Escobar movie says her husband only died because the filmmakers put his life in the hands of an incompetent flier.
Alan Purwin, a veteran Hollywood stunt pilot, was working closely with Cruise on "Mena" last year. He was a passenger onboard a small plane that went down in the Colombian jungle on the last day of filming.
Kathryn Purwin is suing Cross Creek Pictures, the film's producer, saying Carlos Berl -- the man at the stick when the plane went down -- didn't have the "necessary skills" and had no business flying the aircraft. Berl was also killed in the crash.
Kathryn wants damages and funeral expenses from Cross Creek.

Zac Brown Apologizes to Fans ... I Shoulda Listened to My Daddy
Zac Brown got burned by staying out late and partying, but says he's learned his lesson after getting caught in the middle of a South Florida drug bust.
Zac finally talked about what went down at the Palm Beach Four Seasons a week ago, saying ... "I attended a private gathering at a Miami-area hotel and had only been there for a short time when police officers arrived and arrested two people in the room who had just showed up a few minutes before. I did not know these people and had no idea that there were drugs in their possession."
In his Facebook post, the country music star added, "Everyone is responsible for their actions, and I regret using poor judgment and putting myself in that position."
Zac's post confirmed the story TMZ broke about the drug bust of 4 people he was partying with in the hotel room. Zac did NOT mention the starstruck police officers who asked him for autographs and also lied to protect him.
He also said, "My dad always said nothing good ever happens when you stay out late. It’s a lesson I learned the hard way last week, being in the wrong place at the wrong time."
