Published | Updated

Jimmy Choo was downright sole-less -- threatening factories and launching a campaign to crush its departed co-founder's new company ... according to a new lawsuit.

Tamara Mellon, helped put the iconic luxury shoe and accessory brand on the map, but quit in 2012 ... and launched her own shoe line, TMB, a year later.

In the docs, Mellon says JC set out to punish her by issuing ultimatums to all the factories it deals with for manufacturing: Work with Tamara, and Jimmy Choo takes its heel biz elsewhere.

She says the threatened factories had no choice but to dump her, forcing her to go into bankruptcy and lose millions she personally invested. Mellon is suing her old cohorts for damages in excess of $4 million.

We reached out to Jimmy Choo, so far no word back.

MLB's Hector Olivera Found Guilty Of Assaulting Woman ... Sentenced to Jail

Ex-Atlanta Braves outfielder Hector Olivera was found guilty of misdemeanor assault on a woman stemming from an April incident outside of a hotel in Arlington ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Olivera was arrested on April 13th outside the Ritz-Carlton after cops say he got physical with a woman early that morning.

Olivera had pled not guilty -- but the case went to a bench trial and the judge found him guilty, this according to Arlington prosecutors.

We're told the 31-year-old Cuban-born player was sentenced to 90 days in jail with 80 days suspended.

We spoke with Olivera's lawyer, Mark Schamel, who tells us he will appeal the conviction next week.

Olivera -- who was a member of the Braves at the time of the incident -- was suspended by MLB for 82 games after the league ran its own investigation and determined he did inflict harm on the woman.

He was traded to the Padres back in July before being released altogether. He's currently a free agent.

Lawrence Taylor Pleads Not Guilty to DUI ... In Cop Car Crash

Published | Updated

Lawrence Taylor isn't going down without a fight -- pleading NOT GUILTY to DUI in an incident where he allegedly sideswiped a cop car ... despite the fact cops say he essentially confessed at the scene.

As we previously reported, LT was arrested in Palm Beach, Florida on Friday evening after a lane change gone bad -- allegedly hitting a motor home and a cop car in the process.

During Taylor's arrest, cops say they asked how much he had to drink and he replied, "Apparently too much."

Cops also say LT reeked of booze and blew a .084 on a breathalyzer taken 5 hours after the crash.

But despite all of that ... LT's attorney went to court Wednesday and entered a not guilty plea on the NFL legend's behalf to 2 charges -- DUI and not carrying a driver's license.

No word on when Taylor's due back in court.

Ex-49ers tight end Bruce Miller has been hit with 7 felony charges for allegedly attacking a 70-year-old man and his son ... including assault with a deadly weapon -- a cane.

Officials say 29-year-old Miller was drunk when he went into the Marriott Fisherman’s Wharf hotel in San Francisco early Monday morning and tried to force his way into an occupied room.

The 70-year-old man and his 29-year-old son tried to explain to Miller that he was in the wrong room -- but Miller allegedly got violent and attacked both men ... knocking the elderly man unconscious and breaking bones in his face.

Miller was arrested -- and now the San Francisco District Attorney's office has announced the 7 felony charges and 1 misdemeanor filed again him, which include:

-- 1 count of felony assault with a deadly weapon (weapon alleged is a cane)

Ryan Lochte Nailed by USOC ... No White House Visit, No World Championships

Published | Updated

The USOC dropped the hammer on Ryan Lochte because his full punishment includes a ban from the next swimming National Championships meet ... which could put his swim career in jeopardy.

Lochte is also banned from visting the White House with the rest of Team USA Olympians. TMZ Sports broke the story ... Lochte will be banned from swim meets for 10 months, but the USOC just released the full list of punishments he's facing.

He has to return the money he was awarded for winning a gold medal at the games ... perform 20 hours of community service ... and he will have no access to training centers.

The National Championship ban -- which falls outside his 10 month suspension -- is a real shot, since it also means Lochte can't compete in the World Championships ... which could hamper the 32-year-old's hopes of competing in the 2020 Olympics. On the other hand, Michael Phelps got the same ban, and ended up kicking ass this year.

The other swimmers involved in the Rio incident -- Gunnar Bentz, Jack Conger and James Feigen -- got 4 month suspensions ... and will also be banned from the White House visit.

Bentz will also do 10 hours of community service.

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?!!

Ryan Lochte Suspended for 10 Months

Published | Updated

Ryan Lochte just got his punishment for his Rio gas station hijinks, and we're told the U.S. Olympic Committee was tough, but not career-ending.

USOC-connected sources tell TMZ Sports ... Lochte has been suspended for 10 months. There are additional sanctions.

We're told the punishment was handed down not just by the USOC but by the IOC and USA Swimming as well.

The punishment is harsher than Michael Phelps' 6 month suspension for his 2 DUIs. The punishment was debated within the USOC, because Phelps put people's lives at risk and Lochte arguably didn't lie about a material fact. We're told some of the USOC decision makers felt Lochte's punishment was too severe.

The other 3 swimmers involved in the Rio incident were also suspended, but for less time. At least one of them got a 4 month suspension.

Lil Wayne Pissed After Swatting Call 'I'm Tired of This ****, Take Me To Jail'

Published | Updated

Lil Wayne got a rude awakening from cops inside his home, and went from calm to furious very quickly when he realized what was happening -- an apparent swatting call.

We've learned Miami Beach police responded to a call last week of an unknown male shot and bleeding at Wayne's home. When cops arrived, they entered through an unlocked garage door and found Wayne sleeping at 2:53 PM.

According to police docs ... Weezy was initially cooperative and even gave cops permission for a K-9 unit to search the home. But just moments later ... cops say he got pissed and screamed, "I'm tired of this s*** ... take me to jail."

Cops say they cuffed the rapper, but when they didn't find a victim they let him go. We're told Wayne calmed down and told officers he understood they were doing their job.

The same thing happened to Wayne last year, when cops got a report someone had shot 4 people inside the house. Again ... it was a hoax.

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?!!

9:15 AM PT -- Cops tell us they got a couple of names twisted ... the jewelry actually belonged to Future the Prince, Drake's DJ on the tour ... not Future.

Honest mistake.

Elon Musk Tesla Shareholder Sues ... Don't Burn Our Money to Save Your Crappy Solar Co.

Published | Updated

Elon Musk's trying to save his legacy off the backs of Tesla shareholders ... so claims a Tesla shareholder who's suing the icon.

The shareholder claims Elon's move to infuse his failing SolarCity with $2.6 billion of Tesla stock is outrageous, self-involved and irresponsible.

According to the docs ... Elon's trying to run Tesla like a privately held company, moving money around not because it's right for the car company but to build his own legacy of changing the world.

The lawsuit claims Elon doesn't have his eye on the ball ... that Tesla itself is operating in the red, burning cash, and he should focus on building electric cars. The stockholder calls Elon's obsession with SolarCity "a dangerous distraction."

The shareholder says SolarCity is a stinker ... the company went on the auction block recently and didn't attract a single bidder.

Madonna, Guy Ritchie Child Custody Over Rocco Settled

Published | Updated

Madonna has settled her bitter custody fight over Rocco with ex-hubby Guy Ritchie ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, the exes were due in court Wednesday but hours before informed the judge they had resolved their differences.

As we reported, Madonna and Guy were at each other's throats over where Rocco would live. The 16-year-old bailed on Madonna's tour last December and began living with Guy in London. Madonna claimed Guy has poisoned her son against her.

The singer and Guy haven't gotten along for years, and fought constantly over child-rearing issues. She was the disciplinarian and she felt Guy was way too permissive.

It seemed they worked things out months ago. Madonna spent time with Rocco in London and he lived with her during part of the summer. He even partied with mom in Cuba a few weeks back for her birthday.

As for the terms of the settlement ... Guy's attorney told AP, Rocco will go back to London for school. Madonna will, no doubt continue to see her son frequently.

Halle Berry, Olivier Martinez Divorce Off For Now

Published | Updated

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez raced to the courthouse last year, trying to beat each other to the punch in filing divorce papers, yet a year later they are poised to dismiss the case and stay married.

We found a legal doc in which the clerk in divorce court sent a notice to both Halle and Olivier, saying they've been asleep at the wheel and done nothing to make the divorce final. The clerk issued an ultimatum ... either do something or the case will be dismissed.

We've spoken with multiple sources, on both Halle and Olivier's side, and they say the same thing. Neither is in a rush to make the divorce final, and they're fine with staying married.

As for why ... we're told Halle isn't convinced she wants a divorce. We're told she still thinks Olivier might change, especially in the anger management department, and if he does she thinks the marriage could work.

Olivier's clearly had anger problems ... the last straw was when he pushed an LAX employee with a baby car seat and got in trouble with the law.

There are other reasons why both Olivier and Halle aren't going through with the divorce. We're told they're getting along great and both are actively involved in parenting both 3-year-old Maceo and 8-year-old Nahla. Although Olivier isn't Nahla's dad, he's still actively involved in her life.

And there's another reason. Halle -- who just turned 50 -- isn't crazy about getting a third divorce. She doesn't think it's good for her, or her kids.

So, we're told the divorce will probably just go away. For now, they're just friends and good parents, but who knows.

Fat Freezing Co. to Kylie Don't Flatter Yourself You Don't OWN Fat

Published | Updated

Kylie Jenner has a lot of nerve threatening a company that will freeze off your fat ... just because the model happens to vaguely resemble her ... so claims the company.

Dr. FatOff is indignant after reading our story over the weekend ... that Kylie is contemplating legal action against the company for deceiving prospective patients into believing she's endorsing him.

Dr. FatOff's lawyer fired off a scathing letter to Kylie's legal eagle, informing him the model is none other than the daughter of one of the company's managers ... and is nothing like Jenner.

The letter says the model, Cassandra, is primarily Latina and Indian. It goes on to say Cassandra, an aspiring model and singer, was hired for her own look and not because of some vague resemblance.

The letter tells Kylie and company to pound sand. Ed Meyer, the rep for Dr. FatOff, tells us the billboard is staying up.

Lawrence Taylor Hall of Fame Timing In DUI Arrest

Published | Updated

You could say Lawrence Taylor's the luckiest guy to ever get busted for DUI -- or at the very least he timed it out perfectly.

We found out the NFL Hall of Famer's arrest Friday in Florida came exactly ONE day after his 6 year probation in his sexual misconduct conviction ended.

A rep for the Rockland County DA's office tells us ... LT filed an application to end his probation early a few months ago. The DA's office was against it, but a judge granted the request and ordered his probation terminated on September 1.

24 hours earlier and the DUI arrest could have triggered a probation violation and jail time for Taylor.

It's possible LT was excessively celebrating the judge's decision when he got into the alleged drunken crash.

Jeremy Renner Settles Latest Legal Battle with Ex-Wife

Published | Updated

Jeremy Renner has settled yet another squabble with his ex-wife ... this time over child support.

Jeremy and Sonni Pacheco have been at war since she filed for divorce in December 2014 after being married for only 10 months.

The latest beef -- Sonni claimed Jeremy was behind in support payments for 3-year-old Ava. They agreed Jeremy would pay around $16k for support and another $24k for her lawyer and accountant.

She's made numerous allegations against Jeremy, claiming he was an unsafe dad because he had guns in the house, despite the fact that he had the guns while they were married and she had no problem with them.

She also griped that Jeremy was posting pics of the kid on social media.

Jeremy has said Sonni needs to move on with her life and get a job. He pays her $13k a month in child support but she wanted more.
