CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

Kanye West and Damon Dash didn't tarnish a Latin singing group's name by promoting murder, violence and drug sales in a movie collaboration ... at least that's what a judge ruled.

TMZ broke the story ... West and Dash were sued last year by a member of Loisaidas, a group that's been around since 2008. Member Michael Medina said the rap duo tarnished Loisaidas' brand after they released a movie in 2015 with the exact same name.

However, a judge disagreed ... and on Thursday dismissed the suit. The reasoning? ... "Loisaidas," which refers to Manhattan's Lower East Side, is fair game considering that's where the film took place and had nothing to do with the singing group.

Martin Shkreli -- the controversial pharma exec people love to hate -- might have to part ways with some rare and historic treasures ... like an Isaac Newton manuscript!

New York state's tax board is going after Shkreli's insane collection of artifacts to pay down the more than $2.8 million he owes in back taxes.

The collection, kept in Shkreli's office, is nuts -- it includes a signed Charles Darwin letter, and an antique Enigma machine -- notably used by Nazi Germany to encode military communications. Also on the table:

-- Stacked, 2003 photograph of Jeff Koons

-- Original lithographs by Joan Miro

-- Signed letters from Augusta Ada Countess of Lovelace

-- Original Glass & Collage Chessboard sculpture by Dustin Yellin

-- 6 pills by Damien Hirst

The judge hasn't signed off on the order for Shkreli or his company to turn over the items. The infamous one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang album he purchased is not on the hit list.

Not yet, anyway.

"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Stevie J says Joseline Hernandez is out to ruin his character, and calls her allegations he molested his 6-year-old daughter ... a sick attempt at revenge.

Joseline posted a message to Twitter earlier this month, claiming Stevie had molested the daughter he shares with Mimi Faust for years.

Stevie remained quiet about the claim until Wednesday when he filed for, and was granted, a temporary restraining order against Hernandez. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Stevie calls Joseline volatile, jealous and says she's filled with an evil sense of revenge after their nasty split.

George Clooney just got legal protection from a mentally unstable guy who waged a war of harassment against the actor, his wife and others ... the question -- will it stop the guy?

Mark Bibbee sent 189 pages of rambling, delusional and disturbing documents to Clooney's team, among other things making veiled threats against the actor and Amal. Among the emails ... reference to an assassination plot against George H.W. Bush and the JonBenet Ramsey murder.

According to the docs, Bibbee has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and possible schizophrenia.

There's a disturbing reference to the Orlando massacre, in which Bibbee writes, "Orlando is a false flag event to cover for LGBT criminal & pedophiles."

The judge ordered Bibbee to stay 100 yards away from Clooney, Amal and his team for 5 years and to cease all other contact.

Clooney and Amal are currently at their home in Italy and seem unfazed.

The 15-year-old girl voice of "Dora the Explorer" attempted to bully a classmate into smoking by calling her a p**** ... according to a lawsuit filed the classmate's parents.

The parents just filed new docs in the suit which include quotes from the anonymous student describing the encounter. She says Fatima Ptacek was encouraging her to smoke a vape pen. The girl says, “I told her I didn’t want to, but she called me a ‘p—y’ and my competitive side kicked in.”

In the docs, the girl adds Ptacek “said some very unkind, hurtful things that in the moment made me feel vulnerable.”

The girl's parents are pissed because after the incident their daughter was expelled from her $40,000/year Manhattan private school, while Ptacek merely got a 3 week suspension ... according to the NY Post.

Robert Downey Jr. has a full week of work ... but he's not going to make his customary $20 - $40 million for the project. He'll make $15 a day ... as a juror.

We've learned Downey is an alternate juror in a car accident case which is being tried in L.A. Downey has been there since Monday, and the jury won't even start deliberating until Friday.

As for how he got selected, one source connected with the case tells us, "Everyone just thought he was a fair guy." He didn't make a big deal he's a movie star. To the contrary, he identified himself only as Robert Downey and said he was in the film industry.

We're told Downey's been super friendly and attentive during the trial. It's not exactly a riveting case. Two biomechanical engineers are testifying, along with both drivers, and 4 eyewitnesses. The injuries were not horrific ... we're told best case scenario the case is worth $50k.

The lawyers asked only a few questions before settling on the actor. He assured them neither he nor anyone in his family was in a car crash that resulted in injury.

One source connected with the case said, "He actually seems happy to be here."

Lil Wayne violently coldcocked a bouncer who was trying to do his job ... so claims the doorman, who's getting ready to sue the rapper.

The bouncer's attorney -- Arsineh Aghakhani from Los Angeles City Law -- says she's preparing the lawsuit against Lil Wayne for battery after her client claims the rapper attacked him while working the door last month at Hyde nightclub for a BET Awards after-party.

We're told Weezy's entourage was upset they got searched, and after an argument erupted ... Wayne allegedly came from behind and punched the bouncer in the face. Wayne's bodyguards also allegedly shoved the staffer up against a wall ... and we're told he suffered a dislocated jaw and shoulder injury.

As we previously reported -- the bouncer filed a report with LAPD. Wayne has denied punching the guy, but admits there was a brief altercation.

Actress and poker champ Jennifer Tilly is getting death threats from some creep who has the Orlando nightclub massacre on the brain.

Law enforcement in L.A. tells us they got a call from Tilly last month when the suspect tweeted a photoshopped pic of her head next to a bloody knife ... with the message, "funny memes about the massacre in Orlando," and "kill the @Jtillathekilla2" -- which is Tilly's username.

According to legal docs obtained by TMZ, the suspect posted several other images of decapitated people on his or her page with a caption about beheading women, written in Portuguese.

The "Family Guy" and "Monsters, Inc." star told cops the posts made her scared for her family's safety as well.

The Kardashians are calling BS on a new cosmetic line with their namesake ... saying they're pissed cause it's misleading their fans.

"Kardashian Beauty" launched over the weekend plastering the sisters' names and faces on its website. But the sisters want to make it absolutely clear -- they're NOT part of the company in any way, shape or form.

A little backstory ... back in 2012, the Kardashians teamed up with Boldface cosmetics to license and distribute color cosmetics. The sisters claim due to Boldface's mismanagement, the partnership didn't last long ... and Boldface ultimately went belly up. Haven Beauty stepped in 2 years later but that partnership went downhill over disagreements with Haven's owners.

That brings us to now ... the Kardashians and Haven Beauty are locked in a nasty legal war and we're told Haven Beauty's gone rogue and forged ahead anyway, launching "Kardashian Beauty."

A rep for the Kardashians tells TMZ the sisters vigorously reject ANY involvement with the company.

"Over the weekend, new cosmetic products were announced on the Kardashian Beauty cosmetic social media pages with pictures and statements from Kourtney, Kim and Khloe. The three Kardashian sisters are not in business with this cosmetic company."

They go on to say, "The people selling the Kardashian Beauty brand and their predatory owners knew this and are attempting to mislead the Kardashians' fans by stating that the Kardashians are still involved. This outrageous conduct is a legal matter and will be dealt with accordingly."

Rock band My Morning Jacket allegedly caused a car accident so bad it disfigured the victim ... who's now taking the guys to court.

Margarito Gonzalez filed a lawsuit against singer Jim James and the band. Gonzalez claims James was behind the wheel of a Mazda 2 driving the other MMJ members in Denver when he struck his car. In the suit, Gonzalez says the singer was driving recklessly and following too closely.

Gonzalez says James' negligence injured him so badly, it's stopping him from enjoying his life as he did before the 2013 wreck.

TMZ Sports has obtained Draymond Green's mug shot -- showing the NBA star smiling while wearing an "Attack the Glass" shirt ... after allegedly hitting a Michigan State football player.

Take a deep breath Bills fans (and Fantasy owners) ... LeSean McCoy will NOT be suspended for his role in a Philly bar brawl earlier this year ... so says the NFL.

A rep for the league confirmed the information with TMZ Sports.

McCoy was initially accused of attacking a couple of off-duty police officers during a brawl at Recess Lounge back in February -- though he was NEVER arrested.

Officials later decided to NOT charge McCoy with a crime due to insufficient evidence. Despite footage from inside the club, the Philly District Attorney said it was unclear who started the fight.

Estella Warren's jaw was crushed and she was knocked out cold after she was attacked by a man she repeatedly rejected ... according to the actress.

The "Planet of the Apes" star got a temporary restraining order after she says a man whose boats she helped redecorate began harassing her ... first breaking into her apartment and threatening her life, shoving her and spitting at her before jumping off the balcony.

Estella says a week later she was jogging near her home and spotted the man waiting for her outside. She says she shouted at him to stay away and called a neighbor for help.

That's when the man started cussing her out, punched her from behind and knocked her out. Estella claims she was left with a concussion from the blow.

Estella also says she was harassed with numerous voicemails ... plus 63 texts sent within an hour. The man ultimately was charged with misdemeanor assault and making annoying phone calls.

Cleveland Browns player Isaiah Crowell's apology for a tasteless social media attack on cops is falling on deaf ears -- and in fact, police tell TMZ Sports ... they'll pull out of the Browns' stadium in protest.

Crowell got blasted for posting an illustration last week of a cop getting his throat slashed by a masked person. He posted it on Wednesday -- after Alton Sterling and Philando Castile's deaths, but the day before 5 Dallas officers were shot and killed.

The running back deleted the post and the Browns demanded he publicly apologize, which he did.

Lenny Dykstra may need a prologue for his just released memoirs ... disclosing he did it all for nothing, because the feds want all the profits.

Uncle Sam claims the ex-MLB great still owes more than $150k in restitution stemming from his 2012 bankruptcy fraud criminal case ... this according to legal docs obtained by TMZ Sports. He has to pay restitution because he committed bankruptcy fraud, by laundering and concealing money in his case.

The government is demanding that Lenny's book publisher fork over all the money he makes off his 'House of Nails' memoir until they're square.

The autobiography -- which details his insane life on and off the field -- was released a couple weeks ago. He celebrated at a NYC strip club.

Matthew Morrison's refusing to pay his acting coach $182k ... claiming in a new lawsuit he never struck a ludicrous deal with the guy.

The former "Glee" star denies ever verbally agreeing to pay Peter Mattaliano 2.5% of his acting salary from any TV or movie roles. Matthew says Peter is demanding "this outrageous figure based upon a purported oral agreement" in May 2011.

Matthew denies ever agreeing to that deal, and says he actually did pay Peter generously in excess of what acting coaches are normally paid ... although he doesn't say a specific amount.
