Pharrell Williams I Got the Recipe For the It Girl ...
Pharrell's not done touting his last solo album, "G I R L", even though it dropped nearly 4 years ago -- he's just gotten approval to stamp the title all over a bunch of women's products.
Pharrell got the green light to put "Girl By Pharrell Williams" and "Pharrell Williams Girl" on clothing, lingerie, jewelry, athletic gear, luggage and cosmetics.
He's already got a bunch of successful clothing lines, like Billionaire Boys Club and Icecream, geared mostly towards guys. The 'Girl' trademark, which he applied for last November, makes it clear he's now looking to cater to his female fans.
There's also this ... Pharrell got "GIRL" trademarked for music which applies to recordings, online books and other various medias, as well as electronics.

Meek Mill Arresting Officer Dubbed Corrupt ... by Philly D.A.'s Office
The officer who busted Meek Mill might be one of Philadelphia's most corrupt cops ... this according to the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office.
Officer Reginald Graham -- the guy who played a pivotal role in Meek's 2007 arrest for gun and drug charges -- is 1 of 29 current and former cops the D.A. has placed on a "Do not call" list ... warning prosecutors to keep them off their witness stands following allegations of misconduct.
The list -- first obtained by the Philadelphia Inquirer -- states Graham was "investigated by federal authorities for several alleged acts of corruption." Graham was the only witness in Meek's 2008 trial.
Meek's attorney, Joe Tacopina, said "The release of the so-called 'Do Not Testify' list supports everything in the motions filed by Mill and others wrongfully arrested by Officer Graham for post-conviction relief."
Meek, 19 at the time of his arrest, was sentenced to 10 years probation. He was sentenced back in November to 2 to 4 years in prison for violating probation.

Stormy Daniels Sues Trump Used Alias and Never Signed Our 'Hush' Pact
Stormy Daniels is suing President Trump over a "hush" pact she says they drew up days before he was elected -- but he refused to sign.
In the lawsuit, Stormy claims Trump did her dirty by not signing the agreement, which intended to keep her from talking about their alleged 2006 affair, and hurting his presidential campaign. The ex-porn star says she signed on the dotted line, as did Trump's attorney, Michael Cohen.
She says they used aliases -- Trump was David Dennison and she was Peggy Peterson -- in the contract to maintain confidentiality, but he still never signed it.
According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Cohen contacted the ex-porn star shortly after the Access Hollywood tape came out. Stormy says Trump and Cohen caught wind she might go public, and "aggressively sought to silence" her with the "hush agreement."
As for her signing bonus, the now infamous $130k -- Stormy says it was routed through an entity called Essential Consultants LLC. She says the company was created right before the election purely to hide the source of the payment. Cohen has claimed he used his own personal funds to pay her.
She's suing to get a judge to rule the agreement is invalid ... which, presumably, would clear the path for her to tell all about her alleged relationship with Trump.
NBC News first reported the lawsuit.

Trey Songz Accuser Asks for Restraining Order ... Injury Photos Revealed
Trey Songz could be legally blocked from going near a woman who claims he struck her ... at least if attorney Lisa Bloom has her way.
TMZ has learned Bloom is going to court Tuesday morning ... asking a judge for a restraining order on behalf of the woman who claims he struck her during NBA All-Star Weekend. TMZ broke the story, the woman says she and Trey were at a Hollywood party when he hit her in the face out of jealousy because she was talking to another man.
Bloom says in her legal docs Songz choked her client, then began punching her in the face several times until she fell to the ground and he continued striking her until security pulled him off her. The woman says Songz was hitting with such force it was as if 2 men were fighting. She says she suffered bruises to her face and hand.
The woman also says she was trying to get away and called an Uber, but Songz grabbed her cell phone and threw it down a hill. She says she had a second cell phone and he also took that and threw it down a hill.
The woman filed a police report and went to the hospital just after the incident. Cops are still investigating.
She says she works in the nightclub industry and Songz frequents some of her clubs and she's scared of him ... which is why she's filing the restraining order.
Songz's lawyer, Shawn Holley, tells TMZ, "Trey has not spoken with Ms. Buera nor has he attempted to speak with her since the night of the gathering." According to people connected to Songz, the woman has tried reaching out to friends of Trey since the party, but they did not respond to her.
Holley says there were witnesses present at the party who dispute the woman's account.
Bloom tells TMZ, "We are taking this step today to protect my client's right to peacefully live and work, and we will continue to fully cooperate with law enforcement's investigation of this serious matter," adding, "We are asking just one of them with a conscience to reach out to us and tell us what they saw."
Songz is currently on probation for pleading guilty to 2 misdemeanors after he went crazy throwing anything he could find off stage at his concert in 2016. He also was sued by a fan after he allegedly smacked her phone out of her hand and into her face, breaking her glasses.

WWE's Jonathan Coachman I'm NOT a Sexual Predator ... Slams Accuser
Ex-ESPN anchor Jonathan Coachman is firing back against allegations he was a sexual predator during his time at the network ... saying he's the victim of "vicious lies."
Coachman -- who now works for WWE -- was mentioned in a lawsuit filed by ex-ESPN legal analyst Adrienne Lawrence ... who claims Coachman was part of the "misogynistic and predatory culture" at the network.
Specifically, Lawrence claimed Coachman hit on her and employed tactics from the "ESPN predator's playbook." She claimed Coachman was a notorious sexual harasser at the office.
Lawrence is suing ESPN, not Coachman personally.
But, Coachman is furious and has finally responded to the allegations.
"In 21 years of being a PROFESSIONAL I have never been more offended in my life," Coachman says.
"In my 9 years I can count on one hand the amount of times I interacted with anyone other than a co-anchor. To allow someone to spread vicious lies and flat out fabrications is not ok and it’s time someone stood up for themselves."
"I am also offended that someone can dangerously throw peoples’ names into something for the clear attempt at getting headlines."
"My heart goes out to anyone falsely accused of anything. Trust me it doesn’t feel good. But most of you have been incredible and supportive. Onward and upward."

We'll say this ... Nunberg clearly LOVES to talk! And, for what it's worth, he eventually backed down and told AP he will cooperate with Mueller.
