Jeffrey Epstein's got a loose connection to Michael Jackson ... the attorney who asked Epstein in a deposition if he had an oval-shaped unit tells us he was taking a cue from a famous MJ trial.

Spencer Kuvin, the lawyer who grilled Epstein in the infamous 2009 deposition, tells TMZ ... he got the idea to question Epstein about his alleged "egg-shaped penis" from the King of Pop's kid-sex trial.

He says the prosecutor in the MJ case wanted to enter into evidence graphic photos of splotches on Michael's penis so an alleged abuse victim could identify the skin discoloration known as vitiligo. MJ had originally submitted to having the graphic photos taken during a 1994 investigation into whether the pop star molested a boy.

8:49 AM PT -- According to the arrest warrant, obtained by TMZ, Girlalala's longtime boyfriend, Shanoyd Whyte, called 911 himself after shooting her inside a car parked in a residential driveway, even flagging down deputies when they arrived.

Deputies say blood was immediately visible in the vehicle, with heavy saturation on the front passenger seat and pooling on the floorboard. Blood droplets were also found on the pavement outside the open door, along with medical debris from first responders.

Inside the car, deputies recovered a holstered handgun behind the front passenger seat. Neighbors reported hearing two gunshots.

Paul "PK" Kemsley is clapping back at his estranged wife ... saying Dorit Kemsley's claim he hasn't reached out once to see their kids during the "RHOBH trailer is nonsense.

Dorit's allegation landed in the explosive new Season 15 trailer, where she suggested to Mauricio Umanksy during a sit-down dinner that PK has been completely absent from their children's lives. The estranged pair share two kids ... 11-year-old son Jagger and 9-year-old daughter Phoenix.

Shawn Wayans just finished watching the new Eddie Murphy documentary on Netflix ... and he's speculating on what it would look like for Eddie to return to standup comedy.

We caught up with Shaun Tuesday at LAX, where he told us ... "I think he'd have no problem doing it once he commits to doing it. The only difference between him doing it now and him doing it back in the day is he had time to develop his ideas without it being exposed to the world."

Shawn explained that starting out on obscure open mic nights and in small clubs gave Eddie a chance to get his jokes really funny before bringing them before a larger audience to critique. Not like today, where Eddie's fame means any public appearance is captured on a camera phone and aired out on social media.

We spoke with the 34-year-old musician this week, fresh off her performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu Stadium in Madrid, Spain, before the Commanders-Dolphins game, where she addressed the controversy.

Pasian was slammed by some viewers online, but none of it had anything to do with her vocals. Instead, it was the mini black dress and thigh-high garters that set people off, with critics knocking the look as "classless."

However, the league office didn't see it that way.

8:23 PM PT  -- Smokey's attorney Christopher Frost tells TMZ, "These plaintiffs are part of the same group of people who have conspired together against the Robinsons and are laying out their claims for maximum adverse publicity.

We have already explained in the Robinsons’ lawsuit against this group for defamation, civil conspiracy and elder abuse that, all along, this has been an organized, avaricious campaign to extract money from an 85-year-old legend. This group of people, who hide behind anonymity, and their attorneys seek global publicity while making the ugliest of false allegations."

Frost adds, "We have sought the Court’s intervention multiple times to require these anonymous individuals to divulge essential information, turn over relevant evidence, and to share deposition transcripts with the District Attorney. For obvious reasons, this group of Does and their attorneys refuse to be forthcoming with all the evidence possible to investigate their own claims. Once the public can see the truth, their avaricious motives and fabricated claims will be revealed.”

Smokey Robinson's newest sexual battery accuser is a man who claims the Motown singer once grabbed the guy's hand and tried to force it onto his erect penis.

Smokey is being sued by four Jane Does claiming they used to work as housekeepers for the music star and his wife, Frances Gladney Robinson ... and now two more alleged victims want to join the suit, a fifth Jane Doe and a John Doe.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the male accuser claims he started working for the Robinsons at their Chatsworth residence around 2013 ... he says he would clean and detail their cars early in the mornings and on numerous occasions Smokey came outside wearing only his underwear and would touch and fondle his erect penis in clear view of John Doe.

The guy claims "Smokey Robinson’s sexual arousal was vivid and unmistakable during these incidents." He also claims Smokey sometimes made sexually suggestive gestures and remarks towards him, including beckoning him toward a nearby room.

He says he would reject Smokey's alleged advances by telling him, "Put some clothes on."

The guy claims things escalated around 2022, when in one incident, Smokey grabbed the guy's hand "without consent and attempted to force it onto his erect penis."

After the alleged incident, the guy claims the Robinsons fired him. He says one year later, Smokey's wife requested he return to work and he did. He says Smokey went right back to appearing partially clothed, touching himself and making sexually suggestive remarks in his presence.

He claims Smokey's repeated sexual harassment, indecent exposure and unwanted physical contact resulted in humiliation, emotional distress, and ongoing fear for his safety and dignity ... and he says he stopped working for the Robinsons "after learning of similar conduct toward other victims and out of concern for his own well-being."

The new Jane Doe who wants to join the lawsuit claims she worked for the Robinsons as a housekeeper. She says on more than 10 occasions Smokey grabbed her hand and attempted to force her to touch his erect penis.

When the four women sued Smokey in May for sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment and gender violence, his lawyer denied the allegations and chalked it up to a shakedown.

Tekashi 6ix9ine and Kodiyakredd of the Island Boys are denying rumors swirling around a home invasion at Tekashi's Florida home ... 6ix9ine tells us it wasn't staged, and Kodiyakredd says he's not one of the masked gunmen seen on video.

There's been tons of online speculation about the commotion at Tekashi's home this past weekend -- we first reported the home invasion -- and some folks are convinced Tekashi orchestrated it ... while others think Kodiyakredd was one of the men wearing ski masks.

The Palm Beach County Sheriffs Office tells us miscellaneous items were taken from Tekashi's home but no vehicles were taken.

After her interview Tuesday with Vivica Fox, Sherri Shepherd told TMZ there's clearly still a lot of love between the actress and her ex 50 Cent.

Chatting with us in NYC, she said, "I think they still love each other ... I really do."

It's easy to see why she'd say that about Vivica. During the "Kill Bill: Vol. 1" star's "Sherri" appearance, she dished that she had "fabulous" orgasms with Curtis. So it's safe to say, she remembers him fondly. But what about 50?
