We're told the emotional memorial was held at the estate of Joanna Miller -- granddaughter of Walt Disney -- because Jasmine was good friends with Joanna's son.

We're told a larger, public memorial for Jasmine will be held on October 4 in Las Vegas.

The Story: The horribly catchy "Move It" song is at the center of a pretty nasty legal battle involving some Americans ... some Germans ... and part of Madagascar.

The US-based record company who owns the rights to the 1993 hit claims some German musicians made a cover version of the song without proper permission back in 2005 -- right after the original song was featured in the 2005 movie "Madagascar."

In the lawsuit, filed in federal court in NY, the Americans claim ze Germans tried to capitalize on the song's recaptured fame by selling the unlicensed cover here in the good ole US of A.

Now, the Americans are suing for damages and demanding ze Germans "destroy all copies of the Infringing Records."

Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart are looking to settle the score with the website that published their naked non-sex threesome tape.

Dane and Gayheart filed a lawsuit today in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming Gawker.com had not only unlawfully posted almost 4 minutes of the private video that was shot behind closed doors, but "maliciously" distributed the video and included nude shots of the fabulous threesome -- the third wheel was former beauty queen Kari Ann Peniche.

Dane and Gayheart want more than $1 million in damages. Their lawyer -- legal pit bull Marty Singer -- is also asking for an injunction to pull the plug on the video.

UPDATE: 5:30 PM ET: Gawker's publisher, Nick Denton, just twittered his response to the lawsuit: "To quote the great Marty Singer -- Eric Dane's lawyer -- if you don't want a sex tape on the internet, 'don't make one!'"

Kobe Bryant will be front and center at the Lamar Odom/Khloe Kardashian nuptials this Sunday ... which means Vanessa and her $4 million ring may have a few pointers for the bride.

In fact, Lamar's rep tells TMZ all the players are planning to attend, but there are still a few question marks. Several have not RSVP'd -- Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Jordan Farmar.

Can't blame the non-committals ... it is last minute, after all.

We've learned Plaxico Burress has arrived at his new temporary home -- the medium-security Ulster Correctional Facility in Napanoch, NY.

This isn't his final destination -- he'll stay at Ulster until processing is completed -- anywhere from a couple of days to a few weeks.

Plax got standard clothing issue, a department ID card and he'll get a standard haircut and shave. He will also be strip searched and fingerprinted. He can make only one 10-minute phone call today.

Plax will be separated from the general population ... confined to a single cell. He gets to leave his cell for an hour in the morning and two hours at night.

For now, it's three meals a day and lights out at 11:00 PM.

Travolta will testify about his interaction with the paramedic/defendant while they were trying to save his son. He will also testify about his reaction to the alleged extortion demand.

Travolta arrived at the courthouse surrounded by Bahamas police officers.

We've learned John Travolta will be the first witness called today in the extortion trial over his son's death -- and after John steps down from the stand, there will be a legal dogfight in the courtroom over what could be the smoking gun in the case.

Sources say Travolta will testify for less than two hours. When he finishes, we're told defense lawyers will mount an objection to the introduction of a secret videotape which allegedly shows the attempted extortion played out.

The video was shot by authorities in the Bahamas. It shows Travolta's lawyers listening attentively as the alleged $25 million extortion demand is laid out on the table.

Prosecutors say former state senator/attorney Pleasant Bridgewater and paramedic Tarino Lightbourne threatened to release an essentially irrelevant document connected to Jett's death unless Travolta anted up.

We're told one video features Bridgewater and another vid puts the spotlight on Lightbourne.

TMZ has learned prosecutors plan to throw the book at Howard K. Stern this morning.

Stern, along with two doctors, have been charged with multiple crimes for alleged prescription abuses involving Anna Nicole Smith. Stern has been charged with six felonies.

Our sources say during a court session this morning, prosecutors will seek to add five additional charges, bringing the number of felony counts against Stern to 11.

Stern insists he did nothing wrong and will fight all charges.

TMZ has learned Joe Francis is hosting Lamar's swan song to bachelorhood tomorrow at Les Deux nightclub in Hollywood. It will be a formal affair ... with stripper poles and "midgets."

Here's the good news -- Khloe's brother Rob will be there to keep an eye on Lamar ... unless he's distracted by the midgets and stripper poles.

The Rev just sent us the following statement:

"I think it is an unusually harsh sentence for someone who was his own victim. He should be punished but his sentence is way out of proportion with the crime.

Jasmine Fiore's close friends and family attended a private funeral service for the slain model over the weekend -- and we're told it was "an extremely emotional event."

According to someone in attendance, over 200 people gathered at the home where Jasmine grew up in Santa Cruz, CA to remember the brutally murdered bikini model.

We're told friends and family -- including Jasmine's mother, Lisa Lepore, and Jasmine's ex-boyfriend, Robert Hasman -- read poems and told heartfelt stories about Jasmine ... and "everyone was crying."

Our source says plans are in the works to hold a public memorial for Jasmine in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks.

We've learned Megan Mullally was injured in a car wreck last week -- forcing her to cancel two performances of a play she's currently starring in.

Cops tell us the former "Will and Grace" star was involved in a two car accident at around noon last Wednesday in Beverly Hills.

We're told both parties complained of minor injuries -- cops say they have yet to determine who's at fault.

Mullally's injuries caused her to cancel Thursday and Friday's performances of her play "The Receptionist" at the Odyssey in Los Angeles -- but she was back on stage by Saturday ... accompanied by a brace on her wrist.

Lucky for Mullally, the play is currently on hiatus until October 3.

Steven Tyler and his bum shoulder will be gyrating on stage with the rest of Aerosmith next month in Hawaii -- and according to a court order, he's required not to suck at it.

Aerosmith will be performing concerts on October 18 and 20 in the Aloha State after losing a class action lawsuit back in July -- which was filed after the band canceled a 2007 show in Maui.

According to a clause in the settlement agreement, the gigs have to be the same "quality, type and duration" as a regular kick-ass Aerosmith concert -- which includes all aspects of the show, down to the "stage, lighting and sound quality."

Normally this wouldn't be a problem -- but the band was forced to cancel the rest of their 2009 tour in August after Tyler fell off stage at a concert and broke his shoulder ... so he isn't exactly in tip top shape.

Brandee Faria, the lead council for the suit, tells us, "They know they can't come out and do a 30-minute gig ... because I'll be there watching."

Lady Gaga is in the middle of a million dollar lawsuit messier than her blood-soaked VMA performance.

An Irish entertainment company called "Grooveyard" claims they were looking to book talent for October concerts in Belfast and Dublin, when they struck a deal with a NY-based company claiming to rep Lady Gaga.

In the lawsuit, Grooveyard claims they shelled out $320,000 to book Gaga -- but now they believe the guy who took the check may not rep Gaga after all. Here's why:

Grooveyard claims after they began promoting Gaga's shows -- mega-promoters AEG Live hit them with a cease and desist letter, stating AEG has the sole authority to book Lady G.

So now, Grooveyard is pissed, confused ... and demanding their money back in a million-dollar lawsuit filed in NY State court.

What's the lesson here? Don't give someone $320,000 unless you know -- for sure -- who they are.

Anna Nicole Smith and her psychiatrist were captured on film in various contorted sexual positions, according to new legal docs.

We reported this morning that the legal docs describe Anna Nicole and Dr. Khristine Eroshevich naked in a bathtub together. Authorities claim the two women had a personal relationship "that crossed the boundaries of professionalism."

The documents are very specific: "One photo showed both naked women embracing while looking at the camera. In another photo, Dr. Eroshevich is sitting between Anna Nicole Smith's legs while Anna...was in a more reclined position.

In the third photo, Anna Nicole Smith has her ankles on each of Dr. Eroshevich's shoulders while they are holding hands and their clasped hands are resting in the area of Anna Nicole Smith's vagina posing for the camera."

TMZ has obtained court documents filed today, which include a list of Britney Spears' American Express card expenses for the first 11 months of her conservatorship -- the highlight ... she ate at home a lot.

Miss Brit spent a grand total of $5,183.13 at restaurants. Our Britney people tell us the figure is relatively low -- for her -- because daddy Jamie is a cook and did his thing at her house most nights.
