Sean Kingston I've Been Kidnapped Over Jewelry Cops Investigating
Sean Kingston claims he was kidnapped by a jeweler in a dispute over a $225,000 watch ... and LAPD is now on the case.
Here's what Sean says ... he bought the watch from a jeweler and made payments to the tune of $185k, but didn't pay the balance because he felt the watch wasn't worth any more. The jeweler begged to differ and they had a number of arguments.
Sean told cops he and the jeweler met Tuesday at 1:50 AM at a downtown L.A. parking lot, to make a trade ... he'd give the watch back and the jeweler would give him a watch worth a solid $185k. Yes, it sounds weird.
Sean says he got in the back of the jeweler's car but instead of trading, the jeweler allegedly snatched Sean's watch away and refused to give him another watch. Sean says he went nuts, demanded the watch back and refused to get out of the car.
Now for the jack move. Sean says the jeweler and his posse locked him in the car and drove away to a secluded area and threw him out of the car. Cops say if true, it's kidnapping.
We know it's a little confusing. Here's a road map ...

NYC Designer to Puma You Jacked My Logo ... Now Pay Up!
Athletic clothing giant Puma -- home of Usain Bolt -- is trying to pull a fast one by capitalizing on New York City's hipster movement, but it's using a trademarked logo to do it ... according to a new lawsuit.
Puma recently started putting "LES NYC" -- shorthand for NYC's hipster mecca Lower East Side -- on some of its kicks, according to docs filed by Robert Lopez ... the honcho at LES Clothing Co.
In his suit, Lopez says his company's been using the initials on hats, shoes, hoodies, and more since 1999. Lopez says he has a trademark, and Puma's gear is confusing fans of his brand. Busta Rhymes and DJ Khaled are among the NY celebs who rock Lopez's line.
He wants Puma to stop using the logo in the future, destroy any remaining inventory with it, and fork over any profits already made from it.

Marshawn Lynch Shoe Kid Gets Free $2,000 Pair ... 'Inspiring Story'
Marshawn Lynch's generosity is spreading ... because the kid who got $500 from Beast Mode just got free $2,000 shoes from a company that also wants to help him become successful.
The kid at the center of the action is 17-year-old Terrance Downs -- who was mopping up at a Dallas McDonald's when Lynch walked in and they struck up a conversation about Lynch's Buscemi shoes.
Downs told Lynch about his plans to start a fashion store -- so Lynch gave him $500 so he could buy a pair of his own Buscemis to help get him on his way.
Now, we've learned Rob Heppler -- the co-founder of Buscemi -- found out about the story and was so moved, he reached out to the kid to help him on his journey.
In fact, he's hookin' the kid up with a pair of the multi-color 100mm kicks -- which retail at $1,950 (they're hand painted with gold plated hardware and real snakeskin leather).
"Marshawn's goal was to help Terrance grow," Heppler said ... "We felt that having him put his money toward starting his business would help that."
"Now, he'll look really sharp when he opens his boutique."

A rep for The Stockroom, a popular BDSM store in Silverlake, CA, tells TMZ, Rih Rih's stylist reached out over the weekend for product that had to be churned out in 48 hours.
The $2,000 plus order was for custom latex catsuits to outfit the "S&M" singer for a music video she's shooting Monday and Tuesday in L.A. We're told the stylist requested full-body black and dark navy catsuits created by Syren Couture latex, a high-end latex company.

Derrick Rose Launches 'Shark Tank' Star ... Yeah, I'll Rock Your Shirt
A former "Shark Tank" contestant closed a BRAND NEW DEAL -- but it wasn't with Mark or Lori or Mr. Wonderful -- she made it happen with NBA superstar Derrick Rose.
The entrepreneur is Kaeya Majmundar -- who appeared on the show last year with a collapsible "BZbox" and scored herself a deal with Lori Greiner.
But that was then ... now she's onto designing shirts -- and recently approached Derrick Rose about a design that featured his son's face right on the front.
"I graduated from college 3 months ago. So I moved from Atlanta, back to Chicago. I knew there were well-known people who lived in my residence building, so I started hanging out in the lobby from like 1 to 3 everyday. I met Derrick, and we became friends."
Kaeya says she noticed that Rose's son P.J. made a face during a post-game press conference that became a viral Internet meme ... so, she put it on a shirt and asked Rose and P.J.'s mom Mieka Reese if she could sell it.
Turns out, he was all about it ... and even rocked the shirt Thursday night after the Bulls defeated the Thunder. Kaeya says business immediately exploded.
"We got a 300 percent spike immediately. I got a crazy amount of orders ... This is bigger than the 'Shark Tank' effect. We told Derrick and he was very happy."
BTW, Kaeya says her bigger plan is to expand another line of shirts she invented that can be used as carrying bags ... 'cause you know how entrepreneurs be.
