While most of the East Coast was hunkering down in the blizzard, NY Yankees legend Derek Jeter wasn't even rockin' a coat -- strollin' around Bev Hills in a pair of ripped jeans like it was '86 all over again.

Jeter's out in L.A. (we're told he's taking meetings with some Hollywood people) -- and Monday night we ran into #2 on his way out of Mastro's Steakhouse.

FYI -- apparently, distressed jeans are "in" ... at least according to GQ and Women's Wear Daily, which recently published an article saying:

"After a few years of dark denim dominance, it's only natural that distressed denim would reenter the game with rips and tears galore."

Def Leppard is so happy right now ...

Beyonce threatened a company that came perilously close to using her name to hawk mugs ... and guess what you can't buy anymore?

Etsy -- a craft website that's a cross between eBay and Pinterest -- was hawking Feyonce mugs. They became a thing ... when someone got engaged lots of people went to the website and bought the happy couple mugs to celebrate the occasion.

The singer felt the pun was more than coincidental -- right down to the accent on the last "e" -- so her lawyers fired off a letter to the company crying foul ... and then threatening them.

Etsy got the message and took the items off the artist's online shop. But all is not well. Etsy still has other feyonce items on its site, including clothing and glassware. And these items are selling big.

A t-shirt company stole Richard Pryor's swag ... according to a suit filed by the late great comic's widow.

Jennifer Lee Pryor says Fret Shirt -- a company that specializes in irreverent tees -- used a pic of Pryor emblazoned with the word "Swag" ... but did so without her permission. Now she's suing to stop production on the line, and get her piece of the profits.

In the docs ... Pryor is demanding they shell out $5 mil in damages.

It's hardly necessary, but Jennifer boasts about Richard's accolades in the suit ... pointing out he won 5 Grammys and an Emmy during his legendary career.

Fox is being sued by a watch company that made a deal to produce special "24" timepieces ... a deal which turned into a financial disaster.

The U.S. Agency Watch Company claims Fox was asleep at the wheel in providing a style guide and approving watch designs branded specifically for "24." The company claims Fox dragged it's feet for months, and by the time they finally got approval they couldn't meet their production deadline.

They say as a result 15,000 orders had to be cancelled.

On the bright side, we're thinking the watches that were actually produced may become collector's items and more valuable.

Sounds like Jack Bauer needed just a few more minutes.

Well that sucks.

The NFL essentially pulled the plug on Marshawn Lynch's plan to wear 24k gold cleats during today's NFC championship game ... threatening to EJECT the running back if he sported them on the field.

We broke the story ... Lynch had hooked up with famous cleat artist SolesBySir and ordered up a pair of the flashy cleats which are worth around $1,100.

But according to Jay Glazer, the league didn't approve -- and told Lynch that he wouldn't be allowed to play since the cleats didn't conform to the NFL's uniform code.

Ultimately, Lynch backed down (he essentially had no choice) and threw on league-approved pair of shoes instead.

Lisa Rinna abides by the motto, "If ain't broke, don't fix it!" -- because she attended two parties ... 10 years apart ... in the exact same dress!!!

Care to venture a guess which photo was taken over the weekend and which was taken in 2005?

She lived the Gucci lifestyle before the divorce ... and now Byron Scott's wife is demanding the Gucci lifestyle AFTER the split too -- telling a judge the Lakers coach needs to pay up so she can continue to live like a BOSS!

We broke the story ... Byron filed for divorce from his college sweetheart Anita Scott last year after 29 years of marriage -- right before he signed a $17 million contract with the Lakers.

But Anita says they were living large way before the Lakers gig -- and in new court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, she spells out why Scott needs to open up his checkbook.

Here's a sample of the life Anita says she was accustomed to during her marriage to Byron:

BALLER MANSIONS
-- Anita says the couple lived in several insane cribs over the years (8 bedroom pad in NJ, 7 bedroom house in New Orleans, swanky 4 bedroom penthouse in Cleveland).

BALLER SHOPPING SPREES
-- Anita says she "regularly" bought clothes from Chanel, Gucci, Prada and Louis Vuitton ... with no specific dollar limit.

BALLER HAIR
-- Anita says she dropped at least $600 every six weeks for hair upkeep ... and $500-per-month on manis, pedis and massages. Plus another $400-per-month on facials and "other personal maintenance."

BALLER VACATIONS
-- The Bahamas. Once a year. First class airfare. Suites at top-rated resorts. Oh, and they'd often pay for additional family members to join along.

Anita says she needs spousal support asap, since she doesn't have a job and is living in a cramped 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom condo in Culver City which is "not comparable to the lavish and spacious homes we purchased during the marriage."

Justin Bieber seems fed up with the snipers who claim his Calvin Klein ads are Photoshopped where it counts ... so he did what he had to do to make a point.

Biebs posted the photo Wednesday afternoon with the caption, "Photoshop lol" -- but, as we say in the law, res ipsa loquitur ... the thing speaks for itself.

As TMZ first reported, Bieber's legal team threatened to sue a website that claimed to have an un-retouched photo of Biebs' CK ad ... that made him look much, much tinier ... both above and below the Equator. The site quickly pulled it down, but lots of people remained unconvinced.

Taylor Swift and Lorde donned their favorite pair of mom-approved jean shorts as they enjoyed an afternoon hike Tuesday afternoon in Los Angeles.

Apparently on this particular day, they craved a different kind of buzz.

It only took a matter of hours before the website that posted a GIF making it appear Calvin Klein artificially endowed Justin Bieber with muscles and genitalia folded like a cheap suit.

TMZ broke the story ... Justin's legal team fired off a threatening letter to BreatheHeavy.com, demanding a retraction after the site posted a GIF making it appear that Bieber was way scrawnier and "smaller" than the Calvin Klein photo would suggest.

BreatheHeavy just caved and you can literally feel the fear. The site says, "Bieber denies the photo is real, and I respect that and will believe him."

But the site didn't stop there, quoting Bieber's personal trainer ... who said, "I can definitely confirm that he is a well-endowed guy. I sound weird saying that, but yes.”

Justin Bieber is angry a website made it look like Calvin Klein pumped up his muscles using Photoshop, and unless he gets an admission he's going to court.

Justin's team fired off a demand letter -- obtained by TMZ -- threatening breatheheavy.com with a defamation case for posting a GIF showing Justin transformed from mildly muscly to jacked.

The Biebs and company say the puny photo is fake ... clearly Photoshopped, and it's damaging his brand.

Kylie Jenner is scoffing at reports she got a boob job ... she's saying her busty Instagram photo is just the work of a fancy bra.

Our Kardashians sources say Kylie bought a new Victoria's Secret bra -- called Bombshell -- which increases your bust by 2 cup sizes. It's the bra Taylor Swift wore at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

There are reports Bruce is upset over Kris allowing Kylie to get plastic surgery, but it's not true because she didn't go under the knife.

And, we're told Kris, Kim, Khloe and Kourtney thought the bra made Kylie look so good they ordered some for themselves.

Forget, "When a boy becomes a man." We know what Calvin Klein does when he doesn't.

Check out Justin Bieber's wisp of a happy trail in the pic from the raw video of the photo shoot. Now check out the photo taken for the print ad ... seems like Justin got a digital pelvic merkin.

It's ironic ... CK is trying to make Biebs look more like a man, after being slammed for years for using hairless, nubile young models.

The model who caressed Justin Bieber during his Calvin Klein shoot is getting death threats.
Lara Stone dared to get handsy with Biebs, and some of J.B.'s fans have gone off the deep end.

One girl was direct, tweeting, "I'll kill that girl." In case it was too subtle, the chick followed the threat up with emojis of 3 guns and a knife, and a collage, featuring a girl brandishing a gun.

Another girl was just as crazy, saying, "hi bitch i hate u. touch justins d*** again and ill kill u im not joking."

And there's this ... "back off or i'll kill you, please and thanks. no pressure :).

We reached out to Lara to find out if she's taking the threats serious. So far, no word back.

Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant honored ESPN legend Stuart Scott on the court last night ... with a hand-written tribute to the anchor penned on his sneakers.

Selena deleted the photo Thursday afternoon.

Selena Gomez stripped down and showed way too much skin on her ankles while visiting a mosque in Abu Dhabi -- and now she's getting blasted for her "disrespectful" poses.

Gomez and co. -- Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, Cody Simpson, and Shay Mitchell -- posted a few photos this week taken inside the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque ... which is now getting flooded with complaints.

Folks at the mosque tell us the main issues their members have with the pics are:

1) Selena's exposed leg, and her sexy pose ... both are no-nos. It's a respect thing.
2) Mosque rules prohibit laughing and smiling ... again, it's about respect.

Selena did one-up Rihanna, in a sense. RiRi visited the same mosque last year, but when she posted pics ... she was immediately asked to leave. Mosque leaders went easier on Selena.

Maybe they're just not that into her.
