Justin Bieber Former Neighbors Say Pay Big for Ruining Our Lives
Justin Bieber has got to be kidding ... trying to dodge responsibility for allegedly terrorizing a neighbor by trying to turn it into a penny-ante lawsuit ... so claims the "terrorized" neighbor.
It's pretty incredible. Jeffrey Schwartz has already collected $90,000 from Bieber for the now-famous egging of his Calabasas home. Schwartz now wants more ... for all the emotional distress he claims he suffered from the egging, alleged spitting and fight challenges at the hands and mouth of the Biebs.
Justin's lawyers have asked the judge to limit any possible damage award to $25k, but in new legal docs Schwartz counters by saying the singer's lawyers have secretly offered more to settle.
Mind you ... the egging occurred 3 years ago, but Schwartz isn't letting it go. One clue ... Schwartz claims part of Bieber's alleged campaign of terror involved anit-Semitic barbs.
Schwartz and his wife say as a result of the emotional distress they've suffered from headaches, stomachaches and sleepless nights.

The woman suing Sapp is Paula Trickey -- an actress who's appeared in "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2" and "The O.C."

Trickey claims she suffered serious injuries in the collision including "significant and permanent loss of bodily functions." She's demanding more than $15k.
Trickey told the Miami Herald, "There are places in my body I didn’t know existed that are still hurting two years later."

Sapp added, "It's impossible to be @ 2 places at 1 time."
Of course, Sapp was involved in another incident that weekend ... he was arrested for getting physical with 2 prostitutes the day after the Super Bowl.

Bethenny Frankel vs. Lawyers You Screwed Me in My Divorce
Bethenny Frankel got screwed in her divorce -- once by her ex-husband and once by her own lawyers -- so she claims in a new lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, back in 2011, Bethenny bought a Manhattan condo for $5 million. Jason Hoppy, her hubby at the time, suggested she put the property in a trust. She claims she wanted it held in her name alone, but went along with the trust idea and they had their lawyers draft the document.
Bethenny claims, after divorce papers were filed -- to her horror -- she discovered the trust gave Jason a 50% interest in the condo. What's more, he had the right to live there and not pay a penny in rent.
Bethenny claims the snafu made the divorce super messy and it took 3 years to resolve.
She's suing her lawyers for $2 mil minimum.

Angelina Jolie Yeah, We'll Seal Custody Case But Brad's the Bad Guy
Angelina Jolie is down with sealing documents in her divorce and custody case, but she's going after Brad in a big way, saying if the kids have been damaged it's all his doing.
Angelina just filed legal docs saying she agrees with Brad, their business should be kept private, but says it's audacious of him to accuse her of airing their dirty laundry in public. According to legal docs, filed by Laura Wasser, Brad is lashing out because he's "terrified that the public will learn the truth."
Brad went ham on Angelina after she filed unsealed documents trying to prevent him from altering their custody arrangement, but in the new docs she says all he's doing is trying to "deflect from [his] own role in the media storm which has engulfed the parties' children."
She goes on ... "There is little doubt that [Brad] would prefer to keep the entire case private, particularly given the detailed investigations by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Dept. of Children and Family Services into allegation of abuse."
The FBI and DCFS both closed out their investigations, determining no action was warranted.
Short story ... they've both agreed to seal the file, and they pretty much hate each other.

Another off-season ... another Pacman Jones run-in with police.
This time, the Cincinnati Bengals star was arrested Tuesday morning after allegedly getting violent at a Hyatt hotel ... and then spitting on a jail staffer.
Jones allegedly went ballistic at around midnight -- banging on a door and screaming and at one point, cops say he pushed and poked someone ... according to WLWT.
When cops arrived, he allegedly resisted arrest and then spit on a jail staffer while he was being booked.

T.J. Miller Sued You Got High on 'Laughing Gas' ... and Beat the Crap Outta Me
"Silicon Valley" star T.J. Miller became violent and belligerent after inhaling a bunch of "laughing gas" ... so says the private driver now suing him, but Miller says it's a brazen extortion attempt.
Wilson Deon Thomas III claims T.J. hired him back on December 8th to drive him around for the day but things immediately went south when T.J. allegedly started inhaling nitrous oxide -- aka "laughing gas" -- out of Whip-It refills.
According to the docs ... T.J. allegedly went through his entire Whip-It stash and had to call his assistant to bring him more. Throughout the ride, T.J. allegedly complained he spent big money supporting Hillary Clinton and said he was pissed she lost the election.
Wilson says T.J. became increasingly erratic and accused him of being a Donald Trump supporter. During the final drop off, Wilson claims that, out of nowhere, T.J. struck him on the right side of his head and shoulder -- all while still driving.
Wilson says he slammed on the breaks so hard he suffered a violent whiplash. He's suing for medical expenses and other damages. We broke the story ... T.J. was arrested for the alleged assault.
T.J.'s attorney tells TMZ ... Wilson's lawsuit is a pure money grab, adding, "From his first opportunity he has attempted to extort my client TJ Miller by creating a fictitious set of facts and threatening to go public unless he received money. Mr. Thomas is no stranger to the legal system and is all too familiar with filing bogus lawsuits to extort people."
