CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

Ex-Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to 6 years in prison for the 2013 killing of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp ... after his initial manslaughter conviction was upgraded to murder.

Pistorius admitted he shot and killed Steenkamp in his South Africa home -- claiming he believed she was an intruder.

He was convicted of manslaughter in 2014 and was living under house arrest as part of a 5 year sentence -- but the conviction was overturned and upgraded to murder.

Oscar was facing up to 15 years behind bars -- but the judge felt he only deserved 6 ... partly due to the fact he's shown remorse.

The 29-year-old was taken to prison immediately following Wednesday's hearing. He will be eligible for parole after serving half of his sentence.

Vince Neil has been charged with attacking a woman in Vegas ... an incident which triggered a nuclear argument between Vince and Nic Cage.

Vince allegedly went off on an autograph seeker, grabbing her by the hair and pulling her to the ground. Vince claims the woman got all aggro on him and all he did was push past her. Our law enforcement sources say they have surveillance video showing he manhandled her.

After the altercation, Neil and Nic -- with whom he had just had lunch -- walked out of Aria hotel, where Nic and Neil got into it with each other.

Sean Kingston is pointing the finger squarely at Penthouse Nightclub for allowing its security to beat his butt and jack his pricey chains ... so claims the singer in a new lawsuit.

Kingston says security at the WeHo club was involved in orchestrating the assault in which someone yanked the chains off his neck ... totaling $300k.

Kingston says he was in the VIP section when security told him another VIP guest wanted to talk to him. When he approached the other guest, he says he was assaulted, punched and beaned with a champagne bottle.

As TMZ reported ... cops were called to the venue but everyone involved had already skedaddled.

Kingston is suing Penthouse Nightclub for $900k minimum.

NFL quarterback Tarvaris Jackson is playing defense for a change ... pleading not guilty to allegations he pulled a gun and threatened to shoot his wife during a domestic incident last month.

33-year-old Jackson was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly pointed a loaded gun at his wife during a fight in Florida on June 24th.

As we previously reported, the former QB -- who played in the NFL for 9 years -- was denied a free public defender even though he said he didn't have the funds to hire an attorney.

Looks like he found a lawyer after all ... 'cause according to court docs, an attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf on Friday.

Nick Carter's pockets just got lighter ... because we've learned he made a 6-figure settlement with a bouncer who accused the singer of choking him out.

Sources close to the case tell us the settlement fell in the 6-figure range ... and Nick is the one paying the piper.

As for the criminal case ... you'll remember Carter was arrested for misdemeanor battery back in January while partying at a bar in Key West, FL. The battery charge will go away if he completes 25 hours of community service.

Mark DiCowden -- the bouncer's attorney -- says Carter was a "Backstreet thug" who attacked his client for trying to do his job.

Johnny Manziel has a pretty solid witness in his hit-and-run accident -- a U.S. Army soldier who says the QB didn't do anything wrong when he was T-boned in Dallas last month.

One of the suspects who allegedly threatened violence at a concert featuring The Band Perry is a pilot.

Dzmitry Papou was arrested for making terroristic threats at the Delaware venue where the band was set to perform Sunday night. Cops say Dzmitry and another man made a threat of violence. The band and cops decided it was best to postpone the concert.

We did some digging, and found Papou has a private pilot license, which he got after completing an anger management course. We've spoken with flight schools and the FAA, and there's no general requirement for an anger management course as a condition to getting a pilot's license.

"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Karen King is staring down some serious prison time for allegedly going on a shopping spree ... with someone else's identity.

King was arrested in May after cops say she strolled into Saks Fifth Ave in ATL and racked up a $5k bill on dresses, perfumes, shoes and other accessories. The D.A. just hit her with 3 felony charges -- one for financial identity fraud, and two for credit card fraud.

Each carries a sentence of at least a year behind bars if she's convicted.

TMZ obtained video of the arrest when it went down, and at least Karen can say ... she was dressed to the nines for her arrest! Unclear if the outfit came from Saks though.

Justin Bieber's gonna be steamed over Cleveland again if the lawyer in his alleged photog assault case gets his way.

We're told Bieber was set to be deposed Friday in Miami ... where a photog is accusing Justin's bodyguard of trapping and attacking him. But Justin's lawyers filed docs saying the plaintiff's attorney shouldn't be allowed to bring up 17 other incidents -- such as the Cleveland brawl -- because they're irrelevant.

The photog's attorney, Mark DiCowden, filed a response saying it's all fair game for the depo since incidents like Justin's fight after an NBA Finals game show a pattern of bad behavior, similar to what allegedly happened in Miami.

The judge says he'll decide which side is right ... once they figure out a new depo date.

Denver Broncos safety Shiloh Keo just pled guilty to a misdemeanor DUI charge stemming from his arrest back in February ... but he won't spend any time behind bars.

Keo -- who recovered the Patriots' onside kick during the AFC championship game and helped send the Broncos to the Super Bowl -- was popped for DUI on February 13th in Ada County, Idaho.

Today, he pled guilty to one count of misdemeanor DUI -- and, in exchange for his plea, the 28-year-old got 1 year probation and a suspended license. He also has to speak at 8 high schools and pay a $952.50 fine.

Wells Fargo has enabled two crooked employees to fleece a famous Mexican singer out of her hard-earned money ... so claims the performer in a new lawsuit.

Latin Grammy winner Ana Bárbara accuses the bank and two of its employees of opening up several accounts and then taking more than $416k. Bárbara, who speaks limited English, says she trusted them when she signed up for the accounts.

Bárbara -- who's sold over 6 million albums -- claims one of the employees fessed up to the theft. And now the singer also wants Wells Fargo to pay nearly $900k for loss of income after claiming she had to cancel concerts in Mexico and Bolivia to deal with this mess.

Bárbara accuses Wells Fargo of creating a corrupt business culture that presses its employees into fraudulent practices to meet unreachable sales. The lawsuit points out the L.A. City Attorney's Office has gone after the bank for these practices.

We reached out to Wells Fargo, but got no comment.

Rick Ross has always been an industrious guy -- figuring out ways around the word "no" -- so it's no surprise he figured out a way to get a luxurious spa treatment, GPS ankle bracelet and all.

The rapper had celeb massage therapist Loyale, of Green Room Massages, stop by for a 4-hour poolside session.

The video's hysterical, watching Loyale maneuver around Rozay's monitoring bracelet.

Loyale tells us she customized RR's session to lower his blood pressure. The price tag ... $1k, and he left a big fat tip.

What do you get when you combine chicks and "Empire"? A lawsuit.

Alta Tseng and Jessica Corbin claim they launched their Fempire brand in 2004 to encourage female empowerment and promote female trends. They cemented their brand by snagging a trademark for what has become a mini-empire, which includes apparel and blogs.

Along came Lifetime, which launched a slate of women-driven shows it refers to as "Fempire."

You know the drill. Alta and Jessica want Lifetime to stop ... and, of course, they want moolah.

Ex-Dallas Cowboys cornerback C.J. Spillman was just sentenced to 5 years in prison after he was convicted of sexual assault.

The 30-year-old was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a Texas resort back in 2014. He admitted to the sex, but claimed it was consensual.

Spillman -- who played in the NFL from 2009 to 2015 -- was convicted of sexual assault during a hearing on Thursday. He was facing up to 20 years in prison.

We're told Spillman appeared to be in good spirits after the verdict was read. He was there with his mother and kept telling her, "It's going to be okay."

We're told Spillman plans to appeal.

Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant is being sued by a customer who claims their garnish messed him up something fierce.

John Santos claims in a new lawsuit he was chowing down on calamari at Pump in WeHo when he felt a sharp pain in his mouth.

Santos says he realized in short order he was chomping on shards of glass, and it didn't take long for blood to ooze from his mouth.

John alleges he instantly alerted the manager, who scurried over and removed the plate.

Santos says he has medical bills from Urgent Care to prove his injuries. He's gunning for more than $25k.

Lisa's hubby, Ken Todd, tells us they serve 500 meals a day and nothing like this has ever happened. Ken seems suspicious, saying Santos came to the restaurant asking for a king's ransom.

WWE legend Jerry "The King" Lawler is off the hook in his domestic violence case -- prosecutors have dropped the charges against him and his fiancee.

66-year-old Lawler and his 27-year-old fiancee, Lauryn McBride, were arrested in Memphis on June 17th -- after they both accused each other of violence ... and someone broke out a GUN.

Officials were initially unable to determine who was the aggressor -- so they arrested both Lawler and McBride. They were then ordered to stay away from each other.

But now, officials have dismissed the assault charges against both parties -- we're guessing the decision was based on the fact there were no major injuries and neither side wanted to go forward and testify against the other.
