TAKIN' IT ON THE CHIN

Stevie J says Joseline Hernandez's life is all a lie -- right down to her age -- but the fibs weren't enough to convince a judge to issue a restraining order against her.

Stevie came out firing with juicy details about his "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" ex ... hoping they'd persuade a judge to extend a restraining order he got last month.

In his docs Stevie points out Joseline's real name is Shenellica Juneann Bettencourt ... she's 39 years old (not 29) ... isn't even from Puerto Rico ... might STILL be married to someone else ... and the baby in her belly probably isn't his.

The "newly discovered facts" fell flat ... because none of it had anything to do with the price of beans, or in this case granting a restraining order.

Mel Gibson Baby Mama Oksana Grigorieva Loose Lips Cost Her a Bundle

Published | Updated

Mel Gibson's baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva, just got word from a California appeals court ... she made one of the worst business decisions in the history of business ... because they just ruled she's only entitled to 1/60 of what she could have gotten from him had she just shut her trap.

The California Court of Appeals just dropped the hammer, saying Oksana screwed herself when she went on Howard Stern in 2013 and claimed domestic abuse at the hands of Gibson. The actor was on the hook for $750,000 -- a settlement he had struck with her -- but had only shelled out $250,000.

The agreement said she would forfeit the balance if she blabbed about her allegations, and the court said that's exactly what she did when she went on Stern. So, Mel does not have to pay the $500k balance.

Mind you ... Mel had agreed to pay Oksana $15 million if she kept those horrible audiotapes secret, but she changed her mind thinking she could get even more and disavowed the deal. Instead of $15 mil, she eventually struck a deal for $750k ... and that has now been whittled down to $250k.

Maybe she's just bad at math.

Published | Updated

Scottie Pippen and his wife are FURIOUS at Christian Laettner -- claiming he still hasn't paid them back the hundreds of thousands of dollars he owes them ... and they want to collect, NOW.

Around 2007, Pippen invested a ton of money with Laettner and his partners to buy a stake in the Memphis Grizzlies ... but when the deal fizzled, he never got his money back.

Pippen sued Laettner and his partners and was awarded a $2.5 million judgment -- but has NOT received the full amount.

Enter Larsa Pippen ... who took the beef public this week -- tweeting at Laettner, "Hey @laettnerbball are you ever gonna pay us back homie?"

"It's crazy you've been f***ing us around forever @laettnerbball. Homie how do u sleep at night."

Sources connected to the case tell us Laettner still owes at least $600,000 to the Pippens.

Yeah, we'd be pissed too.

Floyd Mayweather's Bodyguard Accused of Battery Man Makes 'Citizen's Arrest'

Published | Updated

One of Floyd Mayweather's gigantic bodyguards has been accused of roughing up a restaurant patron during a heated altercation over the weekend -- and it all culminated in a citizen's arrest.

TMZ Sports has learned ... Mayweather and his security team hit up Hot N Juicy Crawfish in Vegas on Sunday afternoon.

Sources tell us ... a verbal altercation broke out between Mayweather's team and a male/female couple at a nearby table, who were teasing Floyd that they were Pacquiao fans.

We're told things escalated when the couple whipped out their cell phones and began shooting video of Floyd's crew.

The couple claims a bodyguard, who goes by the name Big Pat, grabbed their phone away and wouldn't give it back ... and pushed the man in the process.

The Henderson PD confirms they were called to the scene and the alleged victim told them he wanted to make a citizen's arrest ... which essentially means he wants to press charges for battery.

Cops are investigating. Big Pat has not been charged with a crime and Mayweather's camp is not commenting.

The Kardashians Rail on Tyga ... You Getting Arrested Could Ruin Our Brand!!!

Published | Updated

Members of the Kardashian family were blowing up Tyga's phone Tuesday after a judge issued a warrant for his arrest.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ, several family members got Tyga on the horn and railed on him for being super irresponsible and missing a court hearing. They told him it would be a disaster if he was driving with Kylie and got pulled over by cops and then arrested.

The Kardashians don't want this kind of street cred because they think it messes with the heart of their brand.

As for why Tyga was a no-show, we're told he's in Turks and Caicos, celebrating Kylie's 19th birthday ... which is Wednesday. We're told he's already hired a lawyer to clean up the mess.

As we reported, Tyga is on the hook for $480k after his Malibu landlord got a judgment for back rent and damage. The court hearing Tuesday was so the landlord's lawyer could grill Tyga to find out where he was keeping his money.

'LHHA' Joseline Hernandez My Co-Star Tried Running Me Over ... Keep Her Away!!!

Published | Updated

Joseline Hernandez claims her new "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" co-star, Tommie Lee, tried running her down with her car and threatened to kill her, and a judge must have believed her ... because Tommie's now been ordered to stay more than a football field away from her.

The way we hear the story ... Tommie Lee tried mowing Joseline down not once, but three times, while she was walking to an ATL store. We're told Tommie Lee got out of the car and threatened to shoot Joseline in the face, but alternatively would get some goons to do her in.

They fight on the show, but running people over is a whole other thing, so a judge has now ordered Tommie Lee to stay 500 yards away.

As for how they'll co-exist on the show ... it just wrapped for the season, so there's a good cool-down period.

Amber Heard Cried, Yelled, Screamed ... You're Not Taking My Depo

Published | Updated

Amber Heard refused to go under oath Saturday for her deposition, crying, yelling and screaming in defiance ... so claim Johnny Depp's lawyers, who want the judge to call BS on her and dismiss the domestic violence case.

TMZ broke the story, Amber showed up around 11:50 AM Saturday for a 10 AM deposition. She was there until around 9 PM but never even walked in the deposition room, where lawyers, a court reporter and videographer were waiting.

According to new legal docs filed by Johnny's lawyer, Laura Wasser, Amber repeatedly refused to submit to questioning. According to the docs, at 2 PM Wasser and company wanted Amber to leave the adjoining office where she had been waiting and enter the conference room so the depo could begin.

According to the docs, Amber refused to enter. At 5:30 PM, Wasser again requested Amber to enter the depo room and again she refused. She never went in the room, instead, according to Wasser, she began crying and carrying on in the adjoining office.

Wasser says Amber also refused to turn over documents she had requested.

Johnny's team now wants one of 2 things ... either an order prohibiting Amber from testifying when the case goes to trial next week, or an outright dismissal of her domestic violence case.

Published | Updated

Ed Sheeran straight up jacked the heart of Marvin Gaye's famous panty-dropping song, "Let's Get It On" ... so claims Gaye's co-writer's heirs in a new lawsuit.

Sheeran stands accused of ripping off the melody, harmony, and rhythm compositions from "Let's Get It On" for his smash hit, "Thinking Out Loud."

Ed Townsend and Gaye co-wrote the song. Both are dead, and Townsend's heirs are now suing Sheeran, claiming he lifted key parts of the '73 classic and used them in 'Thinking.'

Sheeran's been accused of similar tactics in the past. He was sued back in June for allegedly ripping off chunks of another songwriter's work for his song, "Photograph."

We've reached out to Sheeran, so far no word back.

Tyga Judge Orders Arrest

Published | Updated

Tyga better not run into cops today, because if he does they'll arrest him.

Kylie's BF was a no-show in court Tuesday, where he was supposed to appear so lawyers for his former landlord could grill him about his finances. The landlord got a $480,000 judgment against the rapper who fell way behind on rent and left the Malibu home in shambles. Tyga hasn't paid the judgment, so the landlord wants to know where Tyga's hiding his assets.

Attorneys for the landlord were in court today, explaining the landlord was upset over stories he saw that Tyga bought Kylie a $200,000 car for her birthday, which he claims is a fraudulent transfer of assets that should go to satisfy the judgment.

The judge issued a bench warrant, which means Tyga could go to jail.

The rapper's finances have been curious for a long time. He's had cars repoed, he's been evicted, but he still lives like a king. He recently rented a mansion for $46k a month.

Amber Heard I Have Medical Proof Johnny Abused Me Before

Published | Updated

Amber Heard plans to put Johnny Depp on the stand if her domestic violence/divorce case goes to trial, and she also plans to show the judge evidence she sought medical care in the past for a prior alleged domestic violence incident.

Amber's exhibit list includes a 2014 pic of her holding pills, and it appears her lawyer will try to connect the meds to domestic violence. The exhibit list also references medical records relating to a prior alleged act of domestic violence.

She also plans to submit videos and audios of Johnny interacting with her at their home.

Amber's lawyer, Samantha Spector, submitted their witness lists, which includes her good friend Raquel Pennington and Raquel's boyfriend, Joshua Drew ... both of whom were in the apartment building on May 21, the night she says Johnny brutalized her.

She's also calling iO Tillett Wright, the woman with whom Amber was on the phone during the incident.

As for putting Johnny on the stand ... Amber's lawyer wants to ask about the incident on the 21st as well as alleged prior domestic violence incidents.

Johnny plans to call 23 witnesses, but Amber's list is much shorter ... 7.

Johnny Depp Slew of Witnesses in Amber Heard Trial ... And Secret Photo

Published | Updated

Johnny Depp is locked and loaded for his trial next month ... his lawyers have submitted a list of nearly 2 dozen witnesses to support his claim ... Amber Heard is lying when she says he brutalized her.

Among the witnesses ...

-- The 2 responding officers on May 21 -- the night Amber says Johnny attacked her. Both officers will testify they saw no evidence of injury nor was anything broken in the loft.

-- 5 concierges in the building, all of whom saw Amber between May 21 and May 27, and all of whom have said in depositions they saw no injuries on Amber's face.

-- 2 security guards who were in the unit on May 21, who will testify Johnny did not strike Amber.

-- Jodi Gottlieb, Amber's publicist. We're told Depp's lawyer, Laura Wasser, tried taking Gottlieb's deposition but she was not available. And Gottlieb is important because she was allegedly present during discussions between Amber and her lawyer.

-- And then there's Hilda Vargas, the housekeeper. According to the witness list, "Ms. Vargas will testify about a discovery in the home." The documents do not describe the discovery.

-- Of course, Amber is on the witness list. She will be called as a hostile witness.

There are also a number of exhibits listed, including Amber's domestic violence arrest report from the State of Washington and documents from the Australian dog smuggling case. We're told Depp's lawyers will press the point that Amber lied when she said she didn't know it was illegal to bring the dogs into the country.

And finally, this ... a mysterious photo. Johnny's legal docs explain, "For privacy reasons, this exhibit is being served on petitioners [Amber and team] and will be supplied to the court at the time of hearing."

Kris Jenner Prius Driver ... She Made Me Homeless

Published | Updated

Kris Jenner knocked a man right out of his home and onto the street ... but it's not her fault.

Turns out the Prius owner with whom she collided last week was living in his car, and now he's car-less and homeless.

Jack Way tells us he's an actor/model in the entertainment industry, but work has been hard to come by, and he's been living in his car the last few months to make ends meet.

The Prius was totaled after Jack cut in front of Kris' Rolls at a Calabasas intersection. Here's the problem ... it appears the accident was his fault and he doesn't have collision insurance, and he doesn't have the money to get a new whip.

So, Jack's calling on friends for a place to sleep every night while he regroups. He even set up a GoFundMe.

He's also lawyering up ... he's been in touch with Larry H. Parker, who gets some people $2.1 million ...

Omarr Baker just went to court, asking a judge to hear his argument that he has a life estate in the Minnesota home Prince built for his mom. Omarr says he took care of Mattie Shaw for years, until she died in 2002, in exchange for the right to live there until his dying day.
