Fights

That stupid, red parking sign that bashed Kanye West in the face last month will NEVER HURT ANYONE AGAIN ... 'cause it's just been raised WAAYYY above head-bashing range, TMZ has learned.

The sign (sporting a 1-0 record in street fights) ... famously K.O.'d Mr. West back in May when the rapper was trying to walk to a nearby restaurant while shielding his face from the paparazzi.

Kanye went BALLISTIC after the sign attack ... and unleashed a legendary screaming, running, angry tirade at the photogs.

Now, we've learned the people who own the property have decided to take action -- raising the sign by several feet ... so it towers over any regular-sized person.

Of course, it's possible the sign-owners made the move to prevent a future lawsuit ... but as for Kanye, we're told he hasn't made any sort of legal threat since the incident.

Bottom line -- the streets of Bev Hills are now safe for walkers ... unless you're a giant.

Dina Lohan says she's come West to support daughter Lindsay Lohan who is struggling to get better in rehab -- but hey, if she can make a buck along the way -- or 50,000 of them -- why not?

As we told you ... Dina and Michael Lohan went nuclear on each other Thursday during a taping of a new show that uses lie detectors to settle disputes. Dina and Michael were at each other's throats over Lindsay, infidelity ... the usual.

So why would Dina and Michael go on a show? To help Lindsay get better? Unlikely. To settle their differences? That's never gonna happen. The reason is simple. Dina got $50 grand, and it didn't feel dirty because we're told she got Lindsay's permission in advance.

We're told Dina plans to use the money to bail herself out of the financial mess over the family's Long Island home, which has been teetering on the edge of foreclosure.

Nicolas Cage's son Weston and his wife Nikki Williams are officially divorced, TMZ has learned -- but the crazy part ... she gets to keep her wedding ring, despite promising to PAWN IT OFF.

As we reported, 22-year-old Weston filed for divorce back in 2011 -- not really shocking, considering they were both arrested for domestic violence against each other after they tied the knot earlier that year ... following a two-week engagement.

The divorce is now final -- but according to the order, obtained by TMZ, 24-year-old Nikki gets to keep her wedding ring ... along with the rights to her entire song catalog, including a track called "Pawn My Wedding Ring."

The song was written last year, after Weston filed for divorce, and it contains the lyrics -- "It started perfect, you were a different person / But you changed on me after the honeymoon was done."

It continues ... "And because it's not worth anything / I'm about to pawn my wedding ring / Get rid of everything that was right or wrong." See? It's right there in black and white.

Meanwhile, Weston gets to keep his musical equipment, bank account, and songs ... including fluffy uplifting hits like "Souless Eyes," "Vampire Sentiment," and "Heathen Sanctuary."

Whyyyyy wouldn't Dina Lohan take a lie detector test on national television? Because she's a liar who has something to hide ... so says Michael Lohan.

Our photog spotted Lindsay Lohan's dad at LAX on Friday and asked him all about the nuclear fight he had with Dina ... after their appearance on talk show called "The Test" turned into an all-out bash fest.

As TMZ previously reported ... Michael and Dina went on the show -- which utilizes lie detectors and DNA tests to help guests resolve conflicts -- to hash out their past. Michael submitted to two polygraphs, while Dina submitted to zero. Each side left the show pissed off and accusing the other of lying.

The Wanted is out for some boy band blood ... challenging their squeaky-clean pop-nemesis One Direction to a 5-on-5 boxing match (however that works) ... but it's for a good cause.

Max George -- The Wanted's front man and ex-LiLo lover -- told the NY Daily News​ that he and his band mate Jay McGuiness are 100% on board with the idea and not just to bash One D's faces in, but to raise money for charity.

Max told the paper, "We would like a boxing match — them against us. It would be brilliant for TV and I have no problem with it at all.”

Plus, Max says, it would finally settle any beef between the bands -- whose fans often pit them against each other on social media -- explaining, "They’ve got 12 million followers on Twitter and I get that they have an army of kids, but instead of doing that ... if they have got an issue, why don’t we actually do something financially -- like make some money for a charity, and blow off some steam in a boxing ring."

Rob Kardashian has settled with the photog who accused him of robbery -- stealing her camera equipment -- and this will almost certainly mean the end of the criminal case against Rob.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Rob has agreed to pay Andra Viak the value of the camera equipment.

TMZ broke the story ... Viak was waiting for Rob in the parking garage at a West Hollywood gym in March and when Rob started taking his clothes off she started taking pics. Rob then grabbed her camera's memory card and kept it.

Prosecutors charged Rob with battery and petty theft. There was a hearing in court today and the lawyers told the judge a civil settlement had been reached.

Our sources say Viak is now satisfied and doesn't want to pursue the criminal case. It's pretty much a formality that the judge will end the matter without prosecution.

The community mall in Calabasas was teeming with action this morning ... as Keyshawn Johnson arrived in the Prius that cornered Justin Bieber and his Ferrari ... and angry residents unloaded on the Biebs.

Keyshawn was mum about the showdown ... but it was cool to see how the former NFL star rolls (hybrid style).

In the meantime ... an older crew from the 'hood made it clear ... they think Bieber is a rich, entitled, spoiled brat who just wasn't brought up right.

Everyone watches hockey for the fights ... and last night, the L.A. Kings announcer did his part to set up Keyshawn vs. Bieber by calling out JB during the live broadcast.

Right before the 3rd period, the camera found Bieber and some pals sitting rinkside at last night's Game 7 between the Kings and the Sharks (Go Kings Go!).

The announcer -- clearly abreast of the whole "Keyshawn Johnson vs. Justin Bieber Showdown in Calabasas" -- had a personal message for Key ... come and get him, HE'S RIGHT HERE!!!!

Justin Bieber has a pat defense these days ... as in, "I'm being framed," and we've learned that's exactly how he's attacking 2 criminal investigations targeting him.

CRIMINAL CASE #1:

The L.A. County District Attorney is currently deciding whether to prosecute Bieber for allegedly spitting in a neighbor's face and threatening to kill him after the neighbor confronted the singer for driving his Ferrari at breakneck speeds in the neighborhood.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... Bieber's people have told the D.A. they have a witness who will swear under oath ... Justin didn't spit. Our sources say the D.A. will not make a decision until they're able to interview the witness. FYI ... law enforcement sources tell us they have at least one witness -- aside from the alleged victim -- who will testify he saw the Biebs spit in the guy's face.

CRIMINAL CASE #2:

As we first reported ... Justin's being investigated for reckless driving after allegedly racing his white Ferrari Monday night on the streets of his gated community. Sources connected with the singer are quietly floating the defense that Justin was not driving.

Here's the problem. We broke the story ... Keyshawn Johnson chased Bieber down in his Prius and then blocked his driveway. We're told Keyshawn actually ran up the driveway into the garage and eyeballed Bieber jumping out of the car and running into the house. Law enforcement also tells TMZ ... multiple witnesses "clearly saw" Bieber driving the car.

We're told the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. will refer the latest Ferrari case to the D.A. shortly. If things keep up, the D.A. is gonna need a special Bieber prosecutor.

Pretty boy Andrew Keegan has been BANNED FOR LIFE from a fancy L.A. bar/restaurant after drunkenly attacking a bouncer outside ... then ramming the guy with his motorized skateboard -- this according to new legal docs.

TMZ broke the story ... Keegan sued James' Beach restaurant in Venice, CA back in November, claiming several bouncers beat him up in 2010 for no reason ... while he was minding his own business on the street.

But the bouncers are now telling a much different story, seeking to countersue Keegan for assault and battery -- claiming the former '90s child star attacked them first ... all because they refused to grant him entry into the restaurant.

The bouncers claim Keegan was visibly drunk/high and could barely stand -- and when they told him to buzz off, he flipped out ... pushing and battering the bouncers, then ramming one bouncer in the shins with his motorized skateboard.

According to the docs, filed by attorney David Diamond, the owner of James' Beach then informed Keegan he was banned for life.

Keegan allegedly continued his assault until the cops arrived ... and then took off on his board ... only to return minutes later. The bouncers claim they had to call cops a SECOND time to get rid of Keegan for good.

Keyshawn Johnson is still furious with Justin Bieber -- claiming the pop star is "playing with dynamite" by endangering Keyshawn's family with his reckless driving.

TMZ spoke with Keyshawn's agent Jerome Stanley who tells us ... Keyshawn is "very, very, very livid" with Justin for blazing through their Calabasas community in his Ferrari on Monday ... right where Keyshawn was walking with his children.

As we previously reported, Keyshawn chased after Bieber in his Prius -- and tried to confront the singer at Bieber's house -- but JB ran and hid inside of his home when Key pulled up.

"Keyshawn is taking the situation very seriously," Stanley says ... "He wants Justin to slow down and be a responsible neighbor."

Cops received multiple phone calls from concerned neighbors reporting Justin's dangerous driving -- and now the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. has launched an investigation into the matter.

We asked Stanley if Keyshawn plans to aid in the investigation -- to which he replied, "Keyshawn is a law-abiding citizen and he'll do whatever it takes to help the authorities."

When Justin Bieber allegedly raced his Ferrari past ex-NFL stud Keyshawn Johnson ... he learned a valuable lesson -- never underestimate an angry man in a Prius!

Especially one way bigger than you.

Former "Bachelorette" contestant Kasey Kahl won't have to cozy up to a prison cellmate -- he was just sentenced to 3 years probation for a huge bar brawl in Fresno last year.

Kahl struck a sweet deal in the case, agreeing to plead no contest to one felony assault charge ... while another assault charge was dropped.

As we previously reported ... Kahl was arrested for bashing a man and his girlfriend in the face during a fight outside Club Habanos in Fresno back in January 2012.

The St. Augustine PD is doing some hardcore backpedaling ... admitting they ACCIDENTALLY told the media Maurice Jones-Drew was charged with battery, when in fact, he hasn't been charged with anything ... yet.

Earlier today, the S.A.P.D. issued a statement to the media ... which stated very clearly, "The [S.A.P.D.] has filed charges of misdemeanor battery against Jacksonville Jaguars player Maurice Jones-Drew that stemmed from an altercation at the Conch House 'Reggae Sundays.'"

Now, a rep for the S.A.P.D. tells TMZ ... they screwed up and "misrepresented" the situation.

According to cops ... no charges have been filed against Jones-Drew, however, he IS being investigated for allegedly punching a security guard in the face ... and is a "person of interest."

TMZ has obtained a photo of Maurice Jones-Drew -- taken hours before his alleged beach bar fight -- and one thing's for sure ... tank tops are not slimming.

The photo was taken on Sunday May 26th at The Conch House in St. Augustine, FL -- where MJD and some of his friends were partying before MJD allegedly socked a bouncer in the face.

We broke the story ... the Jacksonville Jaguars running back has been charged with battery stemming from the incident.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew has been charged with battery after allegedly KO'ing a security guard at the Conch House in St. Augustine, FL ... TMZ has learned.

According to the police report obtained by TMZ, MJD is accused of striking the security guard with a closed fist on the guard's left cheek, knocking him out.

According to cops, the punch was intentional.

The incident went down during "Reggae Sundays" at the Conch House restaurant on May 26.

According to the police report, witnesses say ... MJD's buddy was told by security to stop touching a young female. The buddy allegedly "slapped" a security guard on his chest ... and a melee ensued.

One of the security guards reportedly put MJD's friend in a headlock to stop the fight ... and that's when MJD stepped in and clocked the guard.

After the incident, the security guard spoke with police -- and cops noted that the guy's jaw was "swollen a great deal and had a large lump on his jaw bone."

The security guard was hospitalized after the incident -- and doctors found contusions and a bone bruise, but no broken bones.

We reached out to MJD's people for comment -- so far, no word back.

1:25 PM PT -- The St. Augustine P.D. says they screwed up ... and misinformed the media that MJD had been charged with a crime when, in fact, he has not been charged ... yet.

Cops say MJD is a person of interest -- and officials are still investigating.
