Travis Scott Scores Sweet Justice, Baby!!!
Safe to say Travis Scott is having a GREAT week ... first the birth of his baby girl and now a victory in court.
A clerk at the Rogers District Court in Arkansas tells TMZ ... the rapper's case for inciting a riot is closed after Travis struck a deal, pleading guilty to disorderly conduct. The more serious charges -- endangering the welfare of a minor and inciting a riot -- were tossed.

After his guilty plea and paying some fines, the matter's considered closed. Good ... cause daddy's booked for at least the next 18 years.

Larry Nassar Sentenced Again Gets Up to 125 Years in Prison
Larry Nassar was just sentenced to an additional 40-125 YEARS in prison ... less than 2 weeks after a judge signed his "death warrant" with a 40-175 year term in a separate case.
This time, the disgraced ex-Team USA doctor was being charged for sexual assault crimes he committed at Twistars USA Gymnastics Club in Lansing, Michigan.
Last week, he heard impact statements from dozens of his victims ... and was nearly attacked by the father of 3 girls he abused.
Nassar issued an apology to his victims in court ... but the judge wasn't buying it, telling Larry -- "I am not convinced that you understand what you did was wrong. Clearly you are in denial. You don't get it."
FYI, Nassar was already sentenced to 60 years for child porn crimes ... bringing his minimum years behind bars to 140.
Have fun in prison, scumbag.

Natalee Holloway Mother Sues Oxygen You Tricked Me Into Giving DNA for Phony Show
4:20 PM PST -- Oxygen sent over this statement:
“We were disappointed to learn of the complaint and its inaccurate depiction of how the series was produced, and we want to reiterate our deep compassion and sympathy for all members of the Holloway family. The documentary series was developed by a production company in close collaboration with Dave Holloway and his long-time private investigator. The show followed his continued search to find answers about his daughter Natalee from a lead he had received. We had hoped, along with Mr. Holloway, that the information was going to provide closure.”
Natalee Holloway's mom is suing Oxygen Media, claiming they duped her into providing a sample of her DNA under the false claim they had discovered what they believed were her daughter's remains.
Elizabeth Ann Holloway says in the lawsuit, Oxygen set out to do a 6-part docuseries on Natalee's 2005 disappearance. The premise was that the network had new evidence concerning her disappearance. Elizabeth says she was told they found human female remains that could be her daughter's.
Elizabeth says Oxygen lied to her ... no such remains were ever found. She says she was horribly embarrassed and never would have provided her DNA or participated in the show had she known the truth.
She's also suing on behalf of her daughter using a legal theory called "outrage." She says the series was not legit ... rather it was a "pre-planned farce."

Charles Oakley is officially off the hook in his criminal assault case stemming from his altercation with NY Knicks owner Jimmy Dolan at Madison Square Garden last year ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Oakley was arrested back in February 2017 for getting physical with security who tried to remove him from MSG after a heated exchange with Dolan. It took an army of security to subdue Oakley.
The ex-Knicks star was charged with assault, harassment and criminal trespass ... but accepted an ACD (Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal) -- which would expunge the arrest from his record if he agreed to keep his nose clean for 6 months.
If he didn't accept the ACD, Oak would've been facing a maximum of 1 year in city jail if convicted.
Now that time is up -- and Oak held up his end of the deal ... so his case has been thrown out.
We spoke with Oakley's attorney, Alex Spiro, who says "Mr. Oakley has been completely vindicated. The New York legend lives on."
