Akon Sued Your Mama Screwed Me On Pimped Out Floors

Published | Updated

Akon will be walking on water if his super baller glass floor ever gets installed -- but the contractor says it ain't happening until he gets paid, and Akon's mom stops flaking out on the plans.

Durable Steel Structures filed a lien against Akon's Georgia mansion ... claiming it's owed $36,765 for work already done on the home. Both Akon and his mother are named on the lien.

The contractor tells TMZ he's done a lot of work to design a glass floor that will make it seem like you're walking above a coral reef. He says the plan is to have LED lights projecting the reef images below the glass. Can you say P-I-M-P?

Only problem -- the contractor claims once it came time to install the floor, Akon's mom couldn't make a decision about the lighting ... so now he's left holding the bag.

Mama Akon and son also had a problem with a contractor in 2012, who sued ... claiming he was owed $51,941 for work on the same house.

We contacted Akon's camp ... but no word back yet.

Nick and Mariah The Cost of Emancipation from Mimi

Published | Updated

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have a prenup with a confidentiality clause ... and if she blabs out of school she gets socked for twice what he'd have to pay if he violates it.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... if Nick violates the confidentiality clause he has to pay her a $250,000 penalty, but if she spills the beans she has to pay him $500K.

And the prenup makes it clear ... Mariah came into the marriage with a boatload of money ... Nick, not so much.

The prenup says Mariah is worth $150 million ... she has so much, $30 million is listed as "miscellaneous." Nick came into the marriage in 2008 with a little less than $500K.

He's done well since then, making millions on his various projects, but when they married he ended up buying her engagement ring for $500,000 but took a loan out for $470K. The ring was reportedly worth $2.5 mil, but that's not what he paid.

As we reported ... they've already worked out a full property settlement agreement.

The Cincinnati Bengals player -- whose 4-year-old daughter is ferociously battling cancer -- had been at odds with Leah's mother ... who claimed Devon wasn't living up to his end of a "voluntary" child support arrangement they struck over the summer.

Leah's mother, Channing Smythe, claimed she needed the cash for living expenses ... saying she couldn't work because caring for Leah is a full-time job in itself.

But now, Channing says the two sides were able to work out their money issues -- telling us, "He is helping me out financially" ... noting that Devon is still playing a huge role in parenting Leah.

"I am very happy that we are working together for Leah."

Rick Springfield Ass Trial Ends Well Injured Fan Not His Fault

Published | Updated

Rick Springfield and his ass have been cleared of knocking out a fan and leaving her disabled during a concert more than 10 years ago.

A jury found the 80s rocker was not negligent in the case -- Vicki Calcagno sued, claiming she was rendered unconscious when his butt somehow struck her during a 2004 State Fair concert. She claimed she'd been permanently disabled.

Springfield -- whose ass would never been confused with Nicki Minaj's or J.Lo's -- actually testified this week during the trial in Syracuse, NY ... and said he had no memory of the alleged incident.

He took a celebratory pic in court with attorneys after the verdict.

And now ... a lesson for Rick, and his ass.

Bill Cosby Accuser Chloe Goins is a LIAR I Wasn't Even There

Published | Updated

Bill Cosby has PROOF he was not even at the Playboy Mansion the night one of his accusers claims he sexually assaulted her ... so says Cosby's lawyer.

Legal pit bull Marty Singer tells TMZ ... on the date in question -- August 9, 2008 -- he has flight and telephone records that clearly place Cosby in New York City ... 2,500 miles from the Mansion.

Chloe Goins claims Cosby gave her a drink at the Mansion during the Midsummer Night's Party and the next thing she knew she was naked in a bedroom as Cosby sucked her toes and masturbated.

Goins filed a police report this week with the LAPD, but it's problematic. The alleged incident occurred a little more than 6 years ago, and the statute of limitations is 6 years for all sexual assaults except rape -- the rape statute is 10 years, but up to this point Goins never alleged penetration.

Singer says Cosby's team will be "providing documentary evidence to the appropriate authorities which conclusively establishes Mr. Cosby's whereabouts on August 9th."

And one more thing ... the August 9th party was extensively covered by the media, and photos were published of the various celebs in attendance, including Paris Hilton, Matthew Perry, Jim Belushi, Jason Statham and Bill Maher. There are no pics or mention of Cosby.

New England Patriots Scalpers Busted for Hawking Fake Championship Tix

Published | Updated

New England fans beware -- a trio of New Yorkers made thousands off Tom Brady and the Patriots by selling fake tickets to Sunday's AFC Championship game ... according to cops.

The alleged counterfeiters were busted by police in a Boston suburb on Thursday after a Patriots fan called cops suspecting he'd been ripped off by the sellers.

Police say the fan responded to a Craigslist ad for tickets, met the sellers at a Holiday Inn ... and forked over $900 for 4 tickets to the Pats-Colts showdown. It's unclear why he thought the tix were fakes.

Cops busted the suspects -- all from NY in their early to mid 20s -- and seized thousands of dollars in cash ... as well as more counterfeit tickets.

They've all been charged with larceny and attempting to commit a crime -- and are being held on bail.

Travis Barker, Shanna Moakler Arrested Over Death Threat

Published | Updated

Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler were handcuffed and thrown in the back of squad cars for making criminal threats against each other ... she claimed he threatened to kill her, and he claimed
she threatened him right back.

It happened last month, but we just got the legal docs. On December 7, the two got into a verbal fight over a reality show Travis wants to do with their 2 kids. It's surprising, but the former couple STILL live under the same roof.

According to the docs -- which were filed by Shanna so the family could be evaluated for a possible custody change -- Travis said, "If I could, I'd put a bullet in your head." She then called the cops, who came to their L.A. home. Travis then told cops Shanna threatened to have her boyfriend come and beat him up.

They were then both cuffed, arrested and taken to the station.

Shanna told cops things have gotten extremely bad between the two of them. She said he would say to her, "F*** you bitch,' calling her a "f***ing piece of garbage and calling her "a cigarette smoking, coke-snorting bitch." She also has an email in which he said, "My poor kids have a whore for a mom."

Shanna says the drummer's erratic behavior started after the 2008 plane crash -- she claims he was suffering from mood swings while weaning off pain meds.

Sources tell TMZ ... charges will not be filed against either one. But, we've learned, The L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services was contacted and they are investigating.

O.J. Simpson's Heisman Livin' On the Streets for Years

Published | Updated

The man who became the custodian of O.J. Simpson's 1968 Heisman Trophy lugged it around the streets for years ... TMZ Sports has learned.

We've learned the person is in the crosshairs of the LAPD -- because he's the guy who called USC a while back inquiring about how much he could get for the trophy.

SC called the LAPD stat and forked over the guy's cell phone number -- and the LAPD went on the hunt.

We found the guy ... and he tells TMZ Sports he came into possession of the trophy in 1996, two years after it was stolen from Heritage Hall on the SC campus.

The man swears he's not the guy who broke the case and made off with the statue (we confirmed he was in jail at the time of the heist) but he did say he traded for it with a burgundy Honda Accord and $500 cash. And get this ... the guy he got it from had the Heisman buried in his backyard. Kind of a hint something was up.

After 17 years ... the man says he decided to return the Heisman -- for a reward. He took a photo of the trophy (seen above) to prove he's legit.

It may be a little more than coincidence that his change of heart happened right at the same time the LAPD got a search warrant that targeted him.

Bottom line -- cops nabbed the Heisman but they're still on the hunt for culprits.

No comment from O.J. ... 'cause we were still too scared to call.

Chris Brown Probation Revoked Over Shootings Probation Dept. Wants Singer Locked Up

Published | Updated

Chris Brown has had his probation revoked in the Rihanna case, in part because he was present at 2 separate nightclubs when people inside were shot, and officials are worried about more shootings and think Chris should serve time behind bars.

Chris showed up for a progress report Thursday, when the judge told him the probation report presented multiple problems. First, the report mentions the shooting last Sunday in San Jose when Chris was on stage. Five people were injured.

The judge also said the probation report expressed concern over another shooting at 1OAK during VMA weekend last August. Again, Chris was on stage and several people were shot, including Suge Knight.

And the judge said Chris left the county for San Jose without getting the court's permission, which is a violation of his probation.

As for why the shootings are an issue, they were raised in the probation report. The judge noted so far there's no evidence Chris was criminally involved, but the probation officer says, "There is also concern that when he performs or attends at some of his public events, people will get shot or seriously injured."

The probation officer also notes Chris has been arrested twice while on probation -- once for assault in DC and also for throwing a rock at his mom's car in rehab. And the officer notes Chris was "making comments about knives and guns during a group [rehab] meeting."

The probation officer -- who thinks Chris is focusing too much on his career rather than community service and rehabilitation -- recommends to the judge that Chris serve time. The officer says the singer has shown "a pattern of making choices that are counterproductive."

The judge will hold a formal hearing March 20. If hizzoner determines Chris "willfully" violated probation, he could be in big trouble. The violations are felonies, which means prison is on the line.

"Mob Wives" star London Rene --- Natalie Guercio's bf -- is killing two birds with one stone ... filing a civil lawsuit against the guy who allegedly stabbed him AND the club he claims let it happen.

According to a lawsuit filed Thursday in Brooklyn, Rene says Output Club fueled the vicious attack by serving Rodolfy Lopez (his alleged attacker) alcohol even after he was visibly drunk ... a clear violation of New York law.

In the suit, Rene also blames the club (and it all its owners) for its terribly lax security team ... which he says allowed the incident to occur.

As far as his alleged attacker goes ... Rene is suing Lopez for assault and battery and says he suffered terrible injuries -- both mental and physical.

Rene is seeking unspecified damages. We reached out to Output Club for comment ... so far, no word back.

We broke the story ... both 55-year-old Kevin and his 18-year-old son Tristen were arrested at the family home in Florida after an allegedly drunken Tristen got physical with Kev.

According to the police report, Kevin took Tristen down to the ground hard after Tristen spit in his face. Tristen claimed Kev used his signature choke-slam move and caused him to black out.

Bill Cosby Alerts Playboy Mansion ... I Need Ammo Against Accuser

Bill Cosby and his attorneys are turning the Playboy Mansion upside down ... and hitting up Hugh Hefner for anything to help take down Cosby's latest sexual assault accuser.

TMZ broke the story ... Chloe Goins filed criminal charges against Cosby for an alleged 2008 incident at the Mansion ... where she claims Cosby was masturbating and sucking her toes.
