Kris Jenner Alleged Stalker Ordered to Stay Away for 3 Years
Kris Jenner won't have to worry about an obsessed ex-security guard for a while ... he's been ordered to keep his distance for 3 years.
The judge signed off Wednesday morning on a permanent restraining order against Joshua Jacobs ... who was arrested for felony stalking at Kris' house earlier this month. As we reported, it was the third time he'd been busted trying to get to the house.
Kris immediately got a temporary restraining order, but today's ruling extends that protection for herself and her family. Jacobs remains in custody.
Jenner was not in court, but her attorney, Shawn Holley, tells us, "The Jenner and Kardashian families take safety very seriously, and will vigorously pursue all remedies available to them, both in criminal and civil court, to ensure they are protected."

Bill Cosby Attorneys Play Race Card Only One Black Juror Out of 11
1:25 PM PT -- The 12th juror's been selected, and she's a black woman. Full jury breakdown now is 7 white men, 3 white women, 2 black women. No Latinos or Asians.
Bill Cosby's fate will be decided by a jury that is almost entirely white, and his attorneys are already crying foul.
Cosby, his lawyers and prosecutors are back in a Pittsburgh court Wednesday to complete jury selection, but 11 have already been seated and only one of them is black. Cosby's team is accusing the prosecution of "systematic exclusion" of black jurors, but the judge is shooting down the argument ... for now.
He said he'll consider it if the defense presents some stats to back up the racism claim.
The 12th juror and 6 alternates still need to be selected in the sexual assault trial.

Chuck D Sues Production Co. ... Hands Off the Public Enemy Story!
Chuck D's getting screwed by a deal that's shutting down his effort to tell Public Enemy's story ... so he claims in a new lawsuit.
The legendary rapper's suing Alt House Productions because he says he agreed to let the fledgling company to produce a documentary about Spectrum City ... the group that eventually became Public Enemy. Chuck says the deal did NOT give the company exclusive rights to his story or Public Enemy's.
In docs, obtained by TMZ, Chuck admits signing an amendment to the deal which had a clause about his "life story," but says he didn't have a lawyer present, and had no clue what he was signing.
Chuck says another production company wants to tell Public Enemy's story, but the deal with Alt is mucking it up. He's suing to block Alt from locking up rights to his or his legendary group's story.
Translation: Chuck's fighting the power. Or, put another way ...

The family of 31-year-old Travis Ward -- along with another man injured at the concert -- says the rapper's appearance at the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, CT drew a violent crowd. It also says the venue allowed "thugs" to remain on the premises to incite violence after the concert.

Karrueche Tran Snoozes and Loses Against Chris Brown ... For Now
Karrueche Tran didn't get what she was gunning for in court Tuesday, because the judge expected flesh and blood to testify against Chris Brown, not a voice over the phone.
TMZ broke the story, Karrueche planned to get on the horn with the judge rather than appear in person, because she's shooting a TV show in New Orleans. She was expected to take the judge through what she claims are a series of death threats and violent encounters at the hands of Chris.
The judge wasn't having it, saying in order to get a permanent restraining order against Brown she had to either appear in person or give 12 days notice before the hearing that she would appear via phone.
The case was continued so Karrueche could file the proper paperwork.
As for Chris, he was also a no-show. His lawyer claims he was never served with legal docs, despite video which seems to show otherwise.

Chris Brown Will Be A No-Show At Karrueche Restraining Order Hearing
Chris Brown's lawyers will have a steep mountain to climb Tuesday when they essentially tell a judge, "Who you gonna believe, us or your lying eyes?"
We're told Chris will not appear in the hearing where Karrueche is gunning for a permanent restraining order against Brown, whom she claims has threatened to shoot and kill her, in addition to brutalizing her on several occasions.
Karrueche got a TRO, which is about to expire, and she was required to serve Chris with the petition for a permanent order ... something he dodged until a process server handed him the papers earlier this month as he was leaving his birthday party in Houston.
Big problem for Chris ... the service is on video, and the judge will see it in the courtroom.
We're also told Karrueche will not appear in person ... she'll testify on the phone, because she's shooting a TV show in New Orleans.

Cris 'Cyborg' Justino Cited For Battery For Punching UFC Fighter
Cris "Cyborg" Justino was cited for battery for punching UFC fighter Angela Magana in the face at a UFC fighter retreat in Las Vegas this weekend ... TMZ Sports has learned.
According to the Las Vegas Metro Police narrative, Magana says Cyborg punched the left side of her face after the two fighters got into a verbal argument. Police say they reviewed surveillance video that showed Cyborg throwing a punch, hitting Magana in the face once.
According to officials, witnesses jumped in and broke up the fight.
Cops say Magana -- a 33 year old UFC strawweight -- transported herself to the hospital and was treated. According to the narrative, a doctor at the hospital diagnosed A.M. with an "acute head injury, cervical strain, and laceration of the lip."
She returned to her hotel room and called cops.
Magana told police the fight sparked over comments that were made on social media.

Michael Jackson Estate Hey, Lifetime & Netflix ... Make Your Movies, Just No MJ Tunes
The new Lifetime and Netflix movies about Michael Jackson and his pet monkey, Bubbles, won't feature any of MJ's music if they know what's good for them.
Sources close to Michael Jackson's estate tell TMZ the new flicks, 'Searching for Neverland' and the recently announced animated feature, "Bubbles," are not authorized -- therefore, they're not allowed to use ANY of Michael's materials ... especially his music.
We're told MJ's estate is holding off on legal action for now, but if they hear anything like, oh let's say "Billie Jean," "Thriller," "Beat It," "Rock with You," "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" or any of his hits ... they'll round up the lawyers.
The reason they're not heading to court now? The estate reps haven't seen the movies. 'Searching for Neverland' drops next week, though, so things could change by Monday.
Here's the real question ... can a movie about Michael Jackson even exist without his music, his videos or his pictures? We think not. Soooo, good luck with that, guys.

Scott Disick Burglary Smells Like Inside Job
Scott Disick's home was almost certainly broken into by someone who knew him and knew the property ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ -- not that Scott seems the least bit concerned.
Our sources say it appears Sunday's burglary was an inside job, because the crook or crooks knew exactly where the security cameras were before breaking into the house through a backdoor because they moved the cameras so they could enter undetected. After entering, they opened a bunch of drawers.
Cops also believe the burglars knew full well Scott was out of town, appearing at a gig in Vegas for his birthday. It was heavily advertised beforehand.
Scott was back home by Sunday around 9 AM, hanging with friends and rambling incoherently. Seemed like the party was still going from Vegas, and he was NOT sweating the burglary.
The break-in comes almost a year to the day from the time Scott was hit the first time ... someone broke into his home and stole some super expensive watches. Law enforcement tells us Scott believes he knew who did it but didn't want to rat them out.
As for what was taken this time around ... we're told an inventory hasn't been taken yet.
