The Game No New Trial For You! Back To The End of The Line ...
The Game won't be getting his sexual assault judgment of $7 million reduced, and he won't be getting a new trial either ... for now, at least.
A judge shot down Game's request to reduce the damages he was ordered to pay after losing his sexual assault case ... all over a technicality in how he filed the paperwork.
It looks like Game didn't "present" the motion the right way, and left out important info -- like hearing dates and times ... basic stuff the court needs to even consider the request.
The good news for Game is he can refile the motion -- so he still has a shot to state his case in court, like he originally wanted to do.

Prince Died Without Paying Divorce Lawyer
Prince might be dead, but that doesn't mean he's off the hook with a divorce lawyer who claims the singer signed off without paying his $600k tab.
Cousins Law Firm in West Palm Beach filed a claim with the singer's estate demanding payment of a $599,735.63 bill.
Patrick Cousins tells TMZ the bill dates all the way back to Prince's 2006 divorce from second wife Manuela Testolini.
Cousins says he and Prince were tight and had an agreement the singer didn't have to pay until all the loose ends were tied up. We asked the lawyer what would take 10 years to complete, but he wouldn't say.
Cousins claims he finished everything on April 1 ... Prince died April 21.
Beyonce Sued Stop Roc-ing my Logo in Your Video
Beyonce straight-up jacked the Roc-A-Fella logo and slapped it onto one of her music videos ... so claims the guy who claims he designed the logo.
Dwayne Walker says Queen B never asked permission to prominently display the logo in B's "Drunk in Love" music video ... and now he wants the court to put a stop to it and cut him a slice of the profits.
According to the docs ... Dwayne says he owns the rights to the original Roc-A-Fella logo and it shouldn't have been used in her music vid.
It's interesting ... we took a look at the video and the only time you see anything even resembling the logo is a quick shot of Jay Z's glitzy pendant. The rapper's not named or mentioned in the suit.
It's also worth noting Dwayne sued Jay for $7 million over the logo but lost the case back in September.
We've reached out to Bey's reps ... so far no word back.

The Game Punishment Doesn't Fit Crime Give Me a New Day In Court!
The Game thinks $7 million is too much to pay for allegedly grabbing a woman's vagina ... and he wants a new trial to prove his point.
The rapper filed a motion in his sexual assault case, asking a judge to grant him a new trial with a new jury, or at least slash his $7 mil judgment from last month. Game says the evidence doesn't support such a hefty verdict.
He also thinks the jury had it out for him based on a "prejudicial" video of him and the woman after the alleged groping. Plus, he says he never got a chance to defend himself in person.
You'll recall ... Game said he had to miss the trial because of a severe tooth infection.

Steve Harvey U Can't Escrew Me!! I Never Closed On That Jet
Steve Harvey is getting A LOT of money back for a jet he says he never leased -- all because the company accused of holding his cash hostage never responded to a lawsuit.
Steve filed suit against Oklahoma based Federal Aviation Title Company, claiming he gave them $250k to hold in escrow for a private jet he was trying to lease -- but when the deal went south, he never got a refund.
He says FATC wouldn't pony up the dough because the owners of the jet sued Steve -- putting everything on hold. But Steve says he settled the lawsuit, so FATC needed to hand over the money ... hence the lawsuit.
Steve got a default judgment -- FATC never replied to the suit, and has now been ordered to pay him back, in full.
The only downside for Steve -- not owning a jet.
