CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

Rick Ross can rap all he wants over 50 Cent's "In Da Club" and Fiddy can't do a damn thing about it ... according to the federal judge who just dismissed the case.

50 sued Rick, way back in 2015, for using the music from 'Club' on the mixtape, "Renzel Remixes." The rappers already had plenty of beef -- remember, 50 had to fork over $7 mil for posting Rick's baby mama's sex tape.

So, you can see why 50 Cent would be pissed about da Boss using his 2003 hit track.

However, Rick's attorney Leron Rogers says the judge in the case tossed the whole thing because, basically ... 50's got no dog in this fight.

The judge said Fiddy does not own the copyright or master recordings for the song. Those all belong to Shady/Aftermath Records, so it was dismissed without merit.

"Ray Donovan" actor Marion "Pooch" Hall was arrested Wednesday night for DUI and felony child endangerment, after allegedly letting his 2-year-old son drive because he was too wasted to steer.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Hall, who plays Daryll, was driving in Burbank at around 7:30 PM when witnesses called 911 after seeing the toddler in his lap holding the steering wheel.

We're told the witnesses were horrified to watch the car veer off and smash into a parked car. Thankfully, there were no injuries. One eyewitness tells us he saw the child crying in the front seat. The eyewitness says he looked in the window and the car seat was just laying among the junk in the back seat. It was not installed.

We're told when police came they smelled a strong odor of alcohol and Hall could barely walk. His blood alcohol level ... .25 -- more than 3 times the legal limit.

Hall was cuffed and taken to jail, where he remains on $100,000 bail.

As for his son ... he was released into his wife's custody.

Jennifer Garner wants her never-ending divorce case over and done with ... so she's now filed legal docs to supercharge the process so she's a single woman by the end of the year ... TMZ has learned.

Garner is asking the judge in her divorce to have the case yanked from the court system and put in the hands of a private judge. The reason -- the courts often move at a glacial pace and Jen is out of patience. A private judge can accelerate the process and handle the final details quickly.

Our sources say Jen's goal is to have a final divorce decree by year's end. She filed for divorce in April of last year and the couple has been separated since June 2015.

We're told the major reason for the delay ... Ben's drinking. TMZ broke the story ... Jen did not want to set a custody agreement in stone until she knew Ben was sober, and he's been up and down for years, and that was the primary reason for the delay.

Now that Ben's out of rehab and sober again, we're told Jen thinks the time is right to formalize the divorce.

Cristiano Ronaldo will not play for his Portugal national team in at least 2 upcoming games while he battles rape allegations in the United States.

Ronaldo -- arguably the best player in the world -- was left off the roster for an Oct. 11 match against Poland and an Oct. 14 game against Scotland.

The 33-year-old superstar reportedly met with Portugal coach Fernando Santos and Portuguese federation president Fernando Gomes and collectively agreed it was best for Ronaldo to step away for a few games.

While they have not released a statement specifically connecting the absence to the rape case -- it's pretty obvious.

As we previously reported, Ronaldo is being sued by Kathryn Mayorga -- who claims Ronaldo raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room back in 2009.

She had initially filed a police report describing the alleged crime -- but didn't identify Ronaldo by name.

In her lawsuit, Mayorga says she later accepted a $375,000 payment in exchange for her silence -- but now, she wants that agreement voided.

Tekashi69 is already working on his defense after a gun turned up when federal agents raided his home ... and he sounds confident there's no way the feds can pin the firearm on him.

Tekashi's defense attorney, Lance Lazzaro, tells TMZ ... a gun charge would be a very difficult case to prove because the rapper doesn't even own a piece.

We broke the story ... Tekashi's Brooklyn home was raided by federal agents, assisted by the NYPD, last week and they discovered a gun. It's not clear what prompted the search, or who owns the recovered items.

Tekashi wasn't home when feds busted through the front door, and 6ix9ine claims he moved out weeks before the raid ... so his defense thinks it's gonna be hard to link anything to him.

We know Tekashi hasn't been in NY much over the past few weeks ... he was recording music in Colombia with Kanye West, and he had a show in Russia, where a fan got beat up by his crew.

The bodyguard who bailed on Kim Kardashian West just before she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris is being sued ... TMZ has learned.

Pascal Duvier and the company he worked for -- PROTECTSECURITY -- are being sued by Kim's insurance company for $6.1 million ... the amount the insurance company paid Kim for the stolen jewelry that was taken at gunpoint October 3, 2016 at a Paris hotel.

As we reported, Duvier left the hotel room and followed Kourtney and Kendall to a nearby club, leaving Kim without security. The lawsuit also claims there were a number of security breaches in the hotel the bodyguard failed to correct. Among other things, the front gate to the courtyard of the hotel was missing a lock, and the intercom to the door was not functioning ... things the bodyguard should have flagged.

The lawsuit, filed by AIG, claims the breaches allowed the masked gunmen to enter the hotel and make their way up to Kim's unit, where she was gagged, tied up and put in a bathtub.

The lawsuit blasts the concierge for not having any security training, but neither he nor the hotel are being sued. You'll recall he was held at gunpoint and taken up to Kim's unit where he unlocked the door.

Kim is not suing ... AIG paid Kim's claim and is now going after the individual and company it believes were negligent and caused the robbery.

8:50 PM PT -- A spokesperson for Lil Peep's family denies Jones having any connection to the rapper.

6:57 PM PT -- In a joint statement to TMZ from Matt Miller (Wicca Phase Manager), Tom Chiari (Run For Cover Records) and Adam Mcillwee (Wicca Phase Springs Eternal) we're told "Michael Jones is not and has never been a member of Gothboiclique. Any statements to the contrary are 100% false."

Lil Peep's death was not a wake-up call to at least one of his fans, according to cops who arrested the guy for giving a young woman a fatal dose of drugs ... shortly after Peep's funeral.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the DEA, assisted by NYPD, arrested and charged Michael Jones Wednesday for distributing heroin and fentanyl. We're told the drugs resulted in the death of a woman named Diana Haikova.

Jones, who was part of Peep's group called Goth Boi Clique, was ID'd in a newly unsealed federal indictment.

Law enforcement sources say Jones and many other friends of Peep were in Long Island for his funeral on December 2, 2017. They partied in Manhattan for 3 days to honor their friend and on Dec. 5 we're told Mike met Diana -- who wasn't a member of the crew -- at a hotel party ... then allegedly gave her heroin and fentanyl back at her apartment.

Cops say she was found dead at her place a couple days later, and they believe Jones was the one who supplied the drugs. We're told an indictment against him also claims he distributed heroin a couple months later.

As you'll recall ... Peep died after overdosing on Xanax and fentanyl. Many other drugs were discovered in his system as well. He was only 21.

Machine Gun Kelly's crew beat the crap out of the actor who mouthed off to the rapper at an ATL bar -- and the just-released video shows the brutality.

TMZ broke the story ... actor G-Rod called Kelly a "p***y" for a tweet referring to Eminem's then 16-year-old daughter as "hot."

The surveillance video is from the confrontation at the hotel 2 hours later, and you see a member of Kelly's posse run up behind G-Rod, put him in a bear hug, pick him up and body slam him. Not for nothing, but G-Rod goes about 230 lbs.

Three other men from MGK's crew then come up, stomping and punching the crap out of him. You don't see Kelly in the video.

One of the guys is MGK's drummer -- his name is R00K. Another is a guy who goes by the name Slim.

G-Rod was badly injured and told TMZ he will drop the criminal investigation he launched as well as a lawsuit if MGK fights him in the Octagon.

His response to the surveillance video: "Real f**king manly of this BITCH!!! Tell him I'll take him plus 1 of his goons to get him to my weight class!!! And I'll drop all charges!!" MGP***Y"

Cristiano Ronaldo is firing back against allegations he raped a woman at a Vegas hotel back in 2009 -- saying, "Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in."

The soccer superstar is being sued by Kathryn Mayorga -- who claims she met CR7 at Rain Nightclub in the Palms hotel in June 2009 and he invited her up to his penthouse suite to party and hot tub.

There are photos of Mayorga and Ronaldo hanging out at the nightclub together that evening.

While changing her clothing, Mayorga claims, "Ronaldo entered the bathroom, exposed his erect penis and asked [her] to perform fellatio."

Mayorga says she refused and wanted to leave -- but Ronaldo "pulled [her] into a bedroom and onto a bed and attempted to engage in sexual intercourse."

Mayorga claims she tried to fight Ronaldo off -- but he turned her onto her side and sodomized her while she screamed "no, no, no."

In her suit, Mayorga claims she reported the incident to the Las Vegas Metro Police Dept. -- but didn't identify Ronaldo by name out of fear of retaliation.

Mayorga claims immediately following the 2009 incident, Ronaldo and his team of "fixers" coerced her into signing a settlement and nondisclosure agreement -- in which she got $375k in exchange for her silence. She's seeking in her lawsuit to void the deal.

Now, Ronaldo is speaking out ... adamantly denying the allegations.

"I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me," Ronaldo said.

"Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in. Keen as I may be to clear my name, I refuse to feed the media spectacle created by people seeking to promote themselves at my expense."

"My clear conscious will thereby allow me to await with tranquillity the results of any and all investigations."

The Game has a sexual assault case hanging over his head, and the judge is giving him 48 hours to comply, or the U.S. Marshals will be on his ass ... TMZ has learned.

Game's been lagging on producing a ton of documents in the sexual assault lawsuit he lost nearly 2 years ago. You probably don't remember at this point, but the rapper lost the case filed by Priscilla Rainey ... a contestant on his reality VH1 reality show, "She's Got Game." He was ordered to pay her $7 million.

According to docs, a federal judge has ordered him to hand over a bunch of documents ... including his financial records, but he hasn't. An arrest warrant has been issued, but the judge has given him until Friday at noon, Central Time to turn over the records.

If he doesn't, The Game's got a date with the U.S. Marshals ... whether he wants it or not.

There's a massive police response to Miranda Kerr and Evan Spiegel's Brentwood neighborhood ... all for a suspicious guy residents feared was about to break into homes ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple patrol cars raced to the streets around Miranda and Evan's mansion Tuesday afternoon. Law enforcement sources tell us a resident called cops after a man was spotted knocking on several doors in the hood.

We're told cops arrived and suspected the guy was under the influence, and also discovered he has outstanding warrants. He allegedly resisted arrest, and that's why cops immediately called for backup.

Miranda and the Snapchat co-founder bought their crib in 2016 ... about a year before they got married in their backyard.

The suspect who caused all this ruckus has been taken into custody.

Crisis averted.

LeSean McCoy's ex-girlfriend Delicia Cordon has filed new court docs claiming the NFL star physically abused her during their relationship ... alleging he once literally kicked her out of bed.

It's all part of Cordon's ongoing lawsuit against McCoy, in which she accused him of orchestrating the violent home invasion back in July when she was pistol whipped by a masked intruder.

McCoy has adamantly denied any involvement in the incident. He has neither been arrested nor charged with a crime.

Cordon filed new docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, going in greater detail as to why she believes McCoy is involved ... and points to a history of violence.

Cordon says McCoy first got physical with her after the 2016 NFL season -- noting, "He would often grab [her] in a manner that was painful and would leave [her] skin reddened."

"McCoy did not care who was around when he would become enraged."

She added, "McCoy once physically kicked [her] out of the bed."

Cordon claims she and McCoy dated on and off since 2016.

Cordon claims the Buffalo Bills star would always shower her in gifts to get back into her good graces -- and she stayed quiet because she didn't want to hurt his reputation and jeopardize his NFL career.

She also admits in the docs she did not reveal the abuse before filing her lawsuit. Translation -- there are no police reports.

In the new court docs, Cordon also goes into greater detail about prior allegations that McCoy would physically abuse his own child and beat their pet dog.

The guy who attacked Pacman Jones -- and then got his ASS KICKED by the NFL star -- has just been sentenced to 1 year behind bars ... court officials tell TMZ Sports.

We broke the story ... Jones was walking through the Atlanta International Airport on July 10 when Frank Ragin -- a man who worked at the terminal -- started talking trash to the NFL star.

Ragin shoved Jones into a wall and then the two began to fight -- with Jones knocking the guy out with a wild overhand right. Ragin also suffered a busted leg in the altercation.

Cops investigated and determined Ragin was the aggressor -- and they arrested him on the spot. He was later charged with 2 counts of battery, 1 count of disorderly conduct and 1 count of terroristic threats.

Ragin ultimately struck a deal with prosecutors where he agreed to plead no contest to 1 count of battery and the other 3 charges were dropped.

The sentence was harsh -- 1 year in jail and roughly 1 year of probation. He also has to complete 70 hours of community service and must stay away from Pacman.

As for Pacman, officials determined he was simply defending himself and well within his rights to strike back. He was not charged with a crime.

Rapper Dave East turned himself in for allegedly attacking a man leaving a party cruise ... TMZ has learned.

East surrendered to cops in NYC Tuesday morning and has been charged with misdemeanor assault ... according to law enforcement sources. The rapper's accused of punching 28-year-old Joel Rosario near Pier 40 back in July as he was leaving the cruise and walking along the marina of Hudson River Park.

Rosario claims he had no arguments or altercations with East on the cruise and has no idea why he was attacked. He was treated for a laceration above his left eye.

Our sources say Rosario didn't even know who East was -- police only ID'd the rapper after investigating the incident. East was charged and released. He's due back in court in December.

Turns out the guy who was arrested for burglarizing the home of Rams wide receiver Robert Woods was targeting celebs ... at least that's what cops say.

Law enforcement sources tell us, 19-year-old Tyress Williams has now been linked to burglaries at the homes of Rihanna, Yasiel Puig and Christina Milian.

As for how cops linked Williams to the various break-ins ... we're told they pulled him over last Friday in connection with the Woods break-in and he had stolen items in his car that belonged to Woods, Rihanna, Puig and Milian.

Cops tell us Williams is the guy in this video kicking in the front door of L.A. Dodgers' star Yasiel Puig. This was the 4th burglary at Puig's home -- twice in the last 2 months. Cops aren't saying if Williams was the culprit in all 4 break-ins.

BTW ... Christina Milian had her house burglarized twice in 4 days. Again, we don't know if cops believe Williams was the culprit both times.

For a long time police were saying celebs were not specifically being targeted by burglars ... the party line was that there was a rash of burglaries in L.A. and celebs were simply some of the victims.

It always seemed ... celebs were easy targets, because they either posted their whereabouts on social media or their schedules were in plain view of the public.

It seems cops now believe ... at least some burglars have a thing for celebrity homes.

As for Williams ... we're told the D.A. will file charges Tuesday.

Bill Cosby's been locked up for a week ... and we've learned he spends his days getting friendly with prison staff, touring the grounds and chatting with his wife.

Cosby was locked up last Tuesday for 3 to 10 years, and is awaiting entry into general population at Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution Phoenix in Schwenksville, PA. Cosby's rep, Andrew Wyatt, tells TMZ the comedian's day starts early with breakfast in his cell.

We're told from there, Cosby is escorted through Phoenix by a personal guide -- Bill's legally blind -- to use the prison's library, yard and other facilities. Dinner and lunch are either in his cell or an open room.

Since he's not in general pop yet, he spends a lot of his time chatting with prison staff. Wyatt tells us Cosby has mentioned many times how respectful the staff is and how well they've treated him.
