Rihanna had a violent run-in with an old foe -- angry protesters interrupted the singer's perfume launch.

Rihanna was at a Macy's in Brooklyn on Monday for the release of her new perfume line "RiRi" when the fur-huggers lashed out. You can see from the video -- security quickly steps in to remove the protesters but not before Rihanna took notice.

This isn't the first time the singer has been criticized for wearing animal products -- she was attacked by PETA in 2012 for wearing snake-skin boots.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are trying to do a good thing for the guy who desperately needs a kidney and is trying to score one by dangling a pair of rare Yeezy Boosts ... but there's a problem.

Matt Neal, a 26-year-old Michigan man has Berger's disease, which causes kidney failure. He's on a transplant waiting list but perilously far down. So he came up with the idea of trading his Yeezys for an organ.

Kanye and Kim heard his story and were moved ... they say if he ends up making the trade they'll give him a brand new pair of the impossible to get pricey kicks.

Now the tough news. Federal law makes it illegal for anyone to offer money or merchandise in return for an organ. There's no wiggle room ... the law is clear.

Short story ... Matt needs help. The good news ... Matt's Facebook solicitation has moved lots of people, some of whom say they'll donate a kidney for free, which is totally legal.

Nick Cannon saw Chris Brown's shoe collection and thought "Aww, that's cute" ... and decided to post a few pics of his closets ... on both coasts!

Cannon jokingly called out CB -- who recently showed off his collection. Nick captioned his pic, "@chrisbrownofficial I got stairs and ladders too! LOL! #LACloset BTW my people I'm NOT showing off or bragging by any means, but I have to show young @chrisbrownofficial a lil Sumpn' real quick."

Looks like some of Mariah's shoe game rubbed off on Nick.

Nicki Minaj seemingly abandoned her $11k ready-to-wear Emilio Pucci gown at a NY wedding venue.

Butch Yamali, owner of the Coral House reception venue in Long Island where Minaj's brother got married over the weekend, tells TMZ … they found Minaj's gold dress NWT hanging in the bridal suite.

Coral House has been trying to get the dress back to Nicki, but it hasn't been easy ... they’re afraid to hand it over to the wrong person. They say someone's already called asking for the dress, but Yamali was suspicious enough that the person wasn't from Nicki's camp so he didn't hand it over.

We're told Minaj dropped $40k on her brother's wedding ... so the dress is pretty much chump change.

Pretty on fleek.

Chris Brown's crotch hole at Sunday's concert could easily have been avoided if he simply followed the "Hit The Quan" dress code.

We caught up with iHeart Memphis, the rapper responsible for the dance craze, who notes Brown was absolutely killing it with his moves until his pants ripped at the seams.

According to Memphis, Breezy's skinny jeans are to blame for the wardrobe snafu, and says Chris needs to bone up on the proper "Hit The Quan" attire.

Yes, there is a right and a wrong. Pay attention, Chris.

Amal Clooney continues to steal her husband's shine.

George Clooney and the missus were in Ibiza over the weekend with pals Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford at a launch party for Casamigos ... George and Rande's tequila.

Amal in a little gold dress -- the perfect chaser for a shot of Casamigos! Seize the marketing opportunity, George.

A reality show may have let the cat out of the bag on Jennifer Aniston's wedding dress ... and nobody noticed.

It went down on an episode of "Say Yes To The Dress," where a fittings specialist at Manhattan wedding dress institution Kleinfeld revealed she picked out an $8,400 Mark Zunino gown for Aniston's wedding.

The episode aired back in April.

We reached out to Kleinfeld ... no word back yet.

Kanye West is inspired but not innovative in the fashion department ... so says fashion guru Robert Verdi.

Verdi -- who's hosted "Fashion Police" and designed for stars like Hugh Jackman and Mariska Hargitay -- says Kanye thinks more highly of his fashion skills than other in the biz.

Sorry, Kanye West ... but you can't hold a candle to Michael Jordan in the shoe department -- not for Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins, anyway.

TMZ Sports talked to Hawk about the fire sale he just announced -- he's unloading his whole collection -- 11 pairs -- of Yeezys. He says their total value is about $60k!

But Andrew says some things are priceless ... like his Air Jordan 11s. While he's happy to make a deal with anyone on the Yeezys, he tells us there will be NO sale on his 18 pairs of Jordans.

The Browns star admits he's got a bit of a shoe addiction, but at 29 he's trying to be a grown up -- which is why he's clearing out his closet. Partially.

He adds, "The Yeezy market is crazy because it fluctuates, but the Js gotta stay!"

Donald Trump is getting out-Trumped by a radio DJ who's trying to snatch the candidate's catchphrase -- "Make America Great Again" -- and then sell it back for a $100k.

Bobby Estell is such a huge Trump fan he tried to score a hat with the slogan, but the website was sold out. So, Estell ... star of the 'Bobby Bones Show' on iHeartRadio ... decided to make his own and found out the clothing trademark for the slogan was up for grabs.

Estell filed a trademark application, and he's now first in line to own exclusive rights to make and sell clothing with Trump's red hot campaign slogan.

Estell's lawyers tell us their client would be willing to hand over the trademark ... for a price. All he wants is a one-on-one with Trump, AND a $100k donation to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Ya gotta think the Donald at least admires Estell's entrepreneurial spirit -- if not his price tag.

Nelly is already a certified sneakerhead -- courtesy of his song "Air Force Ones" -- but he solidified his position in the shoe lovers hall of fame when he told us about his all-time FAVORITE pair.

Nelly was in NYC when we got a hot second to talk sneakers with him. No hesitation on his part -- his Jordan 3s get top ranking in Nelly's closet. Probably explains why he keeps 'em "all white, crispy."

But which pair did he drop $600 to lock down? Check out the clip ... and keep in mind, sounds like he got a good deal. We checked, and they're going for around $800 today.

Joe Simpson claims the guy suing him, Jessica and family for $12 million is simply trying to extort the Simpson family over a supposed deal that never came to fruition.

In the lawsuit -- filed in New York -- Papa Joe does say he was working with Jeffrey Bowler in 2010, but says that deal "died on the vine" way back when and has nothing to do with the mega deal that came five years later.

Furthermore, Joe says the deal he was working on with Bowler was to license her makeup line only ... and had nothing to do with selling the entire product line.

Tom Brady walked into a NYC courtroom dressed for success in his effort to have his 4 game suspension overturned -- we'll see if it works.

The Patriots QB arrived for the appeal ... tanned like a Greek god, in a sharp blue suit (probably picked out by Gisele Bundchen) with a white pocket square. Meanwhile ... his opposition, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell also looked good ... no pocket square though.

Jessica Simpson has been sued because her dad Joe allegedly stiffed a guy out of an enormous finder's fee when she sold the majority stake in her fashion company ... but what's really interesting about the lawsuit is the sale price.

Jeffrey Bowler claims he made a deal with Joe Simpson for a 10% finder's fee if Bowler could find a buyer for The Jessica Simpson Collection. It's a strange deal, because Bowler says it was made nearly 10 years ago over the phone and never committed to writing.

Fast forward to April 2015, when Bowler claims Jessica sold a majority stake in the business for $120 million. Bowler claims he put Joe in touch with the buyer, arranged the meeting and helped seal the deal.

Bowler says in the lawsuit Jessica, Joe, Tina and Ashlee screwed him out of his $12 million commission.

Forget about the finder's fee. It's interesting Bowler claims the majority stake went for $120 mil. There are many reports calling The Jessica Simpson Collection a billion dollar business. On one hand, it would seem the majority stake would go for much more than $120,000,000.

It's possible the "billion dollars" is gross sales, which gets whittled down a lot.

A rep for Jessica says Simpson "has never met Mr. Bowler nor has she ever had any dealings with him whatsoever."

Dwyane Wade took it wayyyy back to 1990 with a jumpsuit and blazer combination for his latest Esquire magazine photo spread ... that was apparently styled by MC Hammer.

We know Flash loves him some fashion, and this time he pushed the envelope ... big time. Only a cape could make this outfit any better.

Wade hashtagged the pic ... "#ifyoucantpullitoffyouwontunderstandit." He might be right.

"A super dope homeboy from the Chi-town, and he's known as such, and this is a beat ... "

You know the rest.

H/T BSO.

Lenny Kravitz will NOT 86 leather pants from his tour, despite the biggest wardrobe malfunction in history.

Our sources say, Lenny was privately horrified his penis made a grand entrance during a concert after his tight leather pants exploded.

A lesser man might hang up the leather for a safer pair of trousers, but the 51-year-old is not deterred. We're told he will continue to wear leather.

Some thought he'd hold a grudge against Saint Laurent, the manufacturer. But Lenny is chalking it up to a bad pair, and will continue to wear the duds during his show.

Lenny continued his European tour Thursday in Denmark. Come to think of it, if it happens in Denmark it's probably no big deal.
