Grace has been ordered to sit for a deposition on Thursday with a camera rolling .. according to a judge's order obtained by TMZ.

Grace and CNN are being sued by the parents of a woman who committed suicide after appearing on Grace's TV show. The parents claim Grace accused the woman of being responsible for the disappearance of her son.

The parents sued Grace and CNN for wrongful death, but Grace did not want her deposition taped because she feared clips would appear on TV and online, taking her out of context and splicing bits and pieces together to make her look bad -- sound familiar?

The judge ruled that Grace's depo can be videotaped, but the tape cannot be released to the media or anyone else without the court's permission.

The judge said since the parents' lawyer agreed not to release the video to third parties without court approval, there was no need to address "the evils" Grace complained of -- that "disclosure of the videotape of Ms. Grace's deposition" was designed to "harass, embarrass and intimidate Ms. Grace and corrupt the jury pool."

TMZ has learned Reggie Bush's favorite asset will be hitting the town on Super Bowl weekend in a Vault XXL2 Limousine by Armor Horse -- which is a tank/limo hybrid built with composite ballistic panels and bullet-resistant windows.

And that's not all: Both doors on the limo are fitted with emergency gun ports -- so, whether the limo is rockin' or not ... it's best if you don't come a knockin'.

TMZ has learned 26-year-old Jesse Kristofferson posed for the advertisement last year -- and according to Jesse's rep, Jeff Ballard, the people at "Idol" have no idea the ad features the son of a famous singer/songwriter.

Well now they know ... and knowing is half the battle.

Brooke's lawyer, Yale Galanter, tells TMZ his client is "OK, not great ... I'm still very concerned about her."

Galanter says Brooke still has fluid in her lungs from the pneumonia that landed her in the hospital last week.

Doctors have said Brooke cannot fly anywhere until the fluid in her lungs clears up. She's supposed to attend the hearing in Aspen on February 8.

Galanter acknowledges Brooke and Charlie cannot communicate with each other now that she is out of the hospital ... because of the protective order.

Yes, it's true -- Obama is a fan. He didn't blame it on his daughters. He owned it.

Barack Obama -- a "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" lover? Even Khloe was speechless.

James -- who's married to Sandra Bullock -- posted an alert on his Twitter page, begging anyone who may come across the "Fawn Pit Bull" to return her to Jesse's West Coast Choppers bike shop.

We're told the dog was last seen wearing a pink collar ... so keep your eyes peeled Long Beach!

"Cake Boss" head Buddy Valastro was also outside Mastro's Steakhouse in Beverly Hills last night, fist pumpin' in honor of the "Jersey Shore" kids -- but dude did little to distract from that amazing-sounding Mixon menu.

Paula Abdul has a million reasons to appear on "Dancing with the Stars."

ABC has offered Abdul a $1,000,000 development deal, with one catch -- she has to appear on "DWTS," sources tell TMZ.

ABC has been going after Paula for a few years now, trying to get her on "DWTS."

According to the proposed deal, ABC would allow Paula to do "The X Factor" with Simon Cowell. We're told Simon and Paula met a week ago to discuss the show, and it looks like it will happen.

Paula has to make a quick decision -- we're told the ABC offer is contingent on Paula doing "DWTS" this season, which starts in March.

A rep for ABC says they don't comment on prospective cast members.

TMZ spoke to multiple employees at the H.D. in Rancho Mirage, CA., who tell us Tyler randomly picked up the microphone on Saturday and belted out snippets of "Dude Looks Like a Lady" and "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" for all the weekend warriors to enjoy.

And get this: We're also told Tyler took a hit from a helium machine and kept singing Bee Gees style while signing autographs for anyone who asked.

Coolest. Guy. Ever.

We got the former "American Idol" contestant and avid basketball player at JFK last night where we asked if she would do a naked Cosmo spread like the one her father posed for back in the day.

A source inside the Florida preschool/kindergarten where Tiger's daughter Sam attends tells TMZ they decided to hire an Orange County sheriff's officer after a number of "traffic incidents" occurred at the school following the news of Tiger's cheating scandal.

We're told the off-duty cop -- who costs $35 an hour -- was brought on by school officials to not only watch out for Sam ... but to also keep the school's children and families safe from the media circus surrounding Tiger's life.

So far, no Tiger Woods look-alikes have been spotted wandering around school property.

Jose T. Mareque has filed a creditor's claim against Michael Jackson's estate, claiming he filled Michael's home with trees, orchids, roses, poinsettias, tulips and other plants -- only to be stiffed. It's the same home where Michael died.

According to the invoices, Mareque did the work in December, 2008. He says the bill came to $14,722.01, and Michael's people sent a check for $10,000 and that's it.

Slight problem -- the final invoice notes that the services were performed in December, 2009 -- Michael had been dead for 6 months.

We called Mareque who said he didn't know he had put the wrong year. But as we know, ignorance of the lawn is no excuse.

Jessica Simpson's father is accused of being half a cheapskate by a California production company ... over a music video he was having made for an artist on his label.

Frank the Plumber, LLC filed a lawsuit against Papa Joe Records on Friday, claiming Joe hired the company last year to produce a music video for an artist named An-Ya.

In the lawsuit, Plumber claims Joe forked over an initial $75,000 for the video ... but refused to pay the remaining $70,060 balance.

Plumber is keeping the video under lock and key until Joe pays the 70k plus interest and attorneys' fees.

No comment from Joe's camp.

Gary Coleman is finally on his way out of jail.

After being arrested yesterday afternoon in Utah on an outstanding warrant, Coleman finally posted bail today. He was released at 4:43 PM local time.

Coleman is due back in court February 8.

Creditor's claims against Michael Jackson's Estate are like a game of Mad Libs. Here is today's version:

The Jackson estate was sued on January 22 by someone named Craig A. Johnson. He claims he was never paid for the engineering and research work he did.

Johnson is suing for $374,403.24.

Now here's the fun part -- Johnson submitted 345 separate charges for "chart compilations." He doesn't explain what those are, but each hit is anywhere between $865 and $1,950.

TMZ has learned Khloe -- along with Vanessa Bryant and the rest of the Los Angeles Lakers wives -- are currently on a private tour of the White House ... while their husbands are stuck at practice.

We're told the ladies are not expected to meet President Obama yet -- that moment will come later today during a special ceremony honoring the team's 2009 NBA championship.
