Logan Paul's CryptoZoo legal nightmare is officially over ... 'cause TMZ has learned a judge has reaffirmed the August dismissal of the class action lawsuit against LP, which accused him of defrauding investors in his failed NFT project.

The case stemmed from CryptoZoo -- Logan's 2021 NFT game that promised players could earn money by breeding "virtual animals" ... but the project never really got off the ground. Disgruntled investors filed a class action lawsuit last year, claiming Logan and his team "rug-pulled" the project and misled buyers.

According to a magistrate judge, the plaintiffs failed to link Logan directly to their alleged losses. This week, a district judge agreed.

Shakira's not the only victim of some shady tax collecting over in Spain ... at least according to international lawyer Robert Amsterdam, who is warning Americans and their businesses about what he says is a bait-and-switch scheme.

Following a press conference Thursday, Amsterdam unloaded on the Spanish government and its tax collectors ... he says the government incentivizes inspectors with a bonus system where they get a slice of the tax they collect.

Amsterdam says the Spanish government lures in foreign businesses and celebs with desirable tax credits and incentives, then turns around years later and declares the certificates meaningless and hits them with astronomical tax bills.

Marc, who delivered a stirring closing argument at Diddy's criminal trial this summer, says his feeling is Diddy will walk free before the date provided by the feds ... in part because he thinks Diddy will be a model citizen behind bars.

Chrishell and Chelsea got the short end of the stick here ... they were MIA from Wednesday night's party at Gravitas in Beverly Hills.

Yvette Nicole Brown says young women should care about the size of a guy's heart instead of his bank account ... while encouraging them to revisit some of those dudes they may have written off as just friends.

In an exclusive preview clip obtained by TMZ, the Barstool Sports star goes full beast mode on the TikTok hunk during one of the show's most brutal challenges, "Murderball." The wild footage shows Brianna sprinting across the mud before delivering a sharp kick straight to Mark's stomach, sending both of them crashing into the dirt as they wrestle for control of the ball like total warriors.

In addition to the muddy mayhem, the remaining recruits also take on the nerve-racking "Postman’s Walk" ... a 165-foot rope bridge suspended 200 feet above a canyon floor, which they have just 10 minutes to cross.

"Love Island USA" hunk Pepe Garcia might be off the island ... but he’s still serving up the love -- literally -- pouring body shots on a wild night out!

The party popped off Tuesday at a Dave & Buster’s in L.A. ... where Pepe took his responsibility seriously -- aiming the alcohol straight for the belly buttons of "Too Hot to Handle"s Joey Joy, and Tony Alejandro from Netflix’s "The Mole" and "Battle Camp."

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ ... a judge ruled most of the facts asserted in the legal docs from Sia's ex Daniel Bernad were old news -- that information was known back in August, when they entered into their temporary physical custody arrangement ... which gave Sia primary custody of their kid and limited monitored visitation for Daniel.

As we reported, Daniel was asking the court for an emergency order granting him sole custody of their 1-year-old, Somersault Wonder Bernad, calling Sia a "serious and immediate danger" to their son over allegations of drug use.
