Paris Jackson is taking extreme measures to protect herself from Isaac Kappy, the actor who allegedly choked her, including amping up her security and moving out of her home ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the case tell us Paris has continued getting text messages from Kappy, and they're rambling and downright scary. We're told the tone of the texts is similar to the letters Kappy sent to Seth Green -- loving and caring, but also sounding like he's coming unhinged.

We're told Paris initially responded to Kappy's texts because she feared he was suicidal and wanted to be supportive.

TMZ broke the story ... Kappy was good friends with Paris and Seth up until last month when he allegedly choked Paris during a game night party. He also posted videos accusing Seth and his wife of being pedophiles, and intimated he was prepared for a shootout with police.

Our sources say Paris isn't taking any chances. We're told she's relocating, and now has armed security with her at all times. She's also blocked his number.

2:13 PM PT -- A judge just granted Weinstein's legal team permission to publish the emails in the criminal case.

Harvey Weinstein says there are around 40 emails that will show he didn't rape one of his accusers.

Weinstein's lawyers just filed legal docs saying the emails show the accuser was not a rape victim, but rather a consensual partner in a relationship with him. We're told the 40 emails were sent just after the alleged rape, and the emails present a picture of a woman who was showing affection for him.

We're told Weinstein did not use a personal email, but rather one from The Weinstein Company and, when he was fired, the company wouldn't give him access to the account. His lawyers got access, but the bankruptcy judge issued a protective order prohibiting them from disseminating the emails.

Weinstein's lawyers now want permission to use the emails as an exhibit in a motion to dismiss the indictment, on grounds the Manhattan D.A. knew of the emails but never presented them to the grand jury that indicted Weinstein. His lawyers say that amounts to misconduct -- failure to present crucial evidence -- and warrants dismissal of the indictment.

Ashley Greene's new husband likes to keep it real and raw ... and she's more than willing to accommodate!

We got the "Twilight" star at LAX Wednesday and asked her about her recent honeymoon in Hawaii ... where Ashley and Paul Khoury hit up a nude beach. Turns out, Paul likes to hang loose and she was happy to tag along ... in her own way.

As Ashley tells it ... her Australian hubby's baring all at home all the time, so a few strangers checkin' out the goods is no big deal. But, the newly married couple had to be strategic about the whole thing ... turns out the nude beach might not even be legal!

Chris Pratt isn't slow-playing the whole "meet my girlfriend" thing with his kid -- 'cause the trio was looking like a picture-perfect fam Wednesday in Malibu.

The "Jurassic World" star was with his son, Jack, and his new boo, Katherine Schwarzenegger, for a dinner date at Soho House. The good news for Chris ... Kat and Jack seem to be getting very familiar with each other.

Remember, they all just went to church together Sunday and afterward grabbed some sweet treats ... for Jack and Chris.

Can't blame Chris for moving things along at a brisk pace -- Anna's definitely done the same with her BF in the time since she and CP filed for divorce.

Camille Hyde says she's seen blackface used on the set of some productions ... and it makes people uncomfortable.

We got the "American Vandal" star Wednesday in L.A.'s Larchmont Village neighborhood where we asked for her thoughts on a young actor stand-in being darkened to match the complexion of Keith L. Williams in "Good Boys"... which upset some members of the crew.

Camille says the practice of using makeup to make a stand-in match the actor's skin color isn't totally unheard of -- in fact, she tells us she's seen it done herself.

As for how it was handled ... Camille says the issue was brought up then -- much like it's being brought up now -- and believes speaking your truth is the best way to address it.

Common says if a stand-in for a movie or TV show requires makeup to match skin complexion with the actor ... the director better find a new stand-in.

We got the rapper/actor leaving Equinox Wednesday in WeHo, and he weighed in on the controversy involving the upcoming comedy "Good Boys." We broke the story ... a stand-in for child actor Keith L. Williams was on set in blackface. Common's NOT down with it.

He tells us it's never appropriate to go the blackface route, and doesn't buy the production company's claim it's standard practice to use makeup to match skin tones for lighting purposes. But, even if it is -- he says it's time to end it.

The filmmakers behind an upcoming comedy used makeup to darken the face of a child actor's stand-in -- a la "blackface" -- but the film's production company says it's common practice.

Sources connected to the film, "Good Boys" -- produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg -- tell TMZ ... 11-year-old Keith L. Williams' stand-in was on set last week in Vancouver, and wearing dark brown makeup on his face.

We're told the stand-in was also rocking an afro wig and fitted in a fat suit. Williams was on a break at the time, but our sources say the sight of his stand-in was upsetting to at least one person on set.

Other sources connected to the production company, Good Universe, tell us it's "not uncommon for lighting purposes to match actors' skin tones" ... and they insist this is not a blackface situation.

We've spoken to others in the industry who say their experience is, rather than using makeup, casting directors typically make a point of hiring stand-ins who match the actors' complexions.

We're told "Good Boys" producers were aware someone had filed a complaint, and they were in the process of addressing the grievance.

For the record, we're told the stand-in is a light-skinned African-American kid.

Laurence Fishburne went on a late-night stroll down the Hollywood Walk of Fame ... but, don't worry, no fights broke out.

The legendary actor was outside Katsuya in Hollywood, looking pretty chill and especially comfortable in some casual toe shoes. Easy to see who's staying cool for the summer.

Laurence strolled past Susan Saint James and French actress Michèle Morgan's star ... which explains why it was pretty quiet on that stretch of the Walk of Fame. Not much controversy there.

With Ronda Rousey's movie career taking off, the UFC legend says she's aiming high -- and wants a very specific role if Quentin Tarantino goes forward with a 3rd installment of "Kill Bill."

We got Rousey in NYC where she was promoting her new flick "Mile 22" -- where she stars alongside Mark Wahlberg and John Malkovich. Ronda thinks the movie has a real shot to win an Oscar.

But, moving forward, Rousey says she REALLY wants to play a "grown-up B.B. in 'Kill Bill 3.'"

Of course, B.B. was Beatrix Kiddo's (Uma Thurman) daughter in the original movies.

Tarantino has talked about possibly making a 3rd 'K.B.' flick -- but there's nothing in the works.

Han Solo's 4-pocket black blazer in the OG 'Star Wars' movies -- as well as other real props from some of your fave flicks -- can now be yours ... for a boatload of cash.

Prop Store -- a well-known auction house -- is about to host the UK's largest live auction of film and TV memorabilia for the 5th year in a row late next month. The public can place their bids on over 600 iconic original movie props starting September 20 in London.

Just to give you an idea of how epic this thing will be, here are some of the items hitting the auction block:

-- Han's jacket (expected to fetch up $1.3 million).

-- Indiana Jones' original fedora (up to $397k).

-- Marty McFly's 'BTTFII' hoverboard (up to $66k).

-- The "Jumanji" game board (up to $13k).

-- The "Edward Scissorhands" costume (up to $105k).

NY Giants co-owner Steve Tisch -- who's also a huge movie producer -- says he's down to put Odell Beckham Jr. in one of his flicks ... BUT, there's a catch.

"After a long career," Tisch tells TMZ Sports.

Still ... Tisch has produced movies like "The Equalizer," "Southpaw" and "Forrest Gump" (he won an Oscar) -- and can you fathom OBJ in any of those down the road?!

As for if Tisch envisions the receiver spending that long football career in New York ... he didn't exactly specify -- but his tone seems to suggest the Giants DO want to pay him long-term.

... and so it begins!

Magic Johnson and his wife, Cookie, have boarded their private jet bound for Italy -- where the family will begin their annual $3 MILLION summer vacation!!!

Remember, the Johnson family vacation is straight BALLER -- they rent out insane yachts and sail around the Amalfi Coast ... while visiting with their rich and famous friends.

In fact, Samuel L. Jackson and his wife are already in Europe -- guessing they'll meet up very soon as they usually do.

In the past, Magic's yachts have featured everything from movie theaters to dining rooms and impressive gyms with treadmills and free weights. We'll see if they upgrade for the 2018 edition!

Bon voyage!

Harvey Weinstein made his living making movies, and now it seems he's using movies as an escape from his legal woes, because he's becoming a fixture at a Connecticut movie theater.

Weinstein hit up the Bow Tie Royale 6 Theater in Westport Monday night, where he caught 'Transylvania 3' and "Mission: Impossible - Fallout." He tried to go semi-incognito, wearing all black, a hat and sunglasses.

A theatergoer who recognized Weinstein said he was laughing and "having a good time with the kids in the theater."

We're told this was the second night in a row he showed up at the theater.

James Gunn's future in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise is now in the hands of Disney -- a future his own brother won't try to predict after the cast's public cry of support.

We got Sean Gunn at LAX Monday just hours after he and the rest of the 'Guardians' actors penned an open letter going to bat for their fired director after he was canned over a week ago for old tweets that made light of rape and pedophilia.

The actor doesn't have much more to add beyond what the letter says clear as day -- that the 'Guardians' "fully support" James -- but he does elaborate on what he thinks is happening to his big bro ... a full-on character assassination that he chalks up to mere lies.

Mark Zuckerberg's been getting the meme treatment for supposedly looking like a 'Star Trek' character -- ever since he testified to Congress -- but the actor himself doesn't see it.

We got Brent Spiner Monday in Malibu where we asked if he'd seen the hilarious Zuck memes putting him on the 'Next Generation' set as the android, Data.

Brent admits both his character and the Facebook CEO appear to stay out of the sun, but he ain't buying they're dead ringers or long-lost relatives.

Then again ... it's hard to tell if Brent's trolling us here with his answer -- especially because he was definitely trolling our photog on a bunch of things, including the proper pronunciation of Data.

But c'mon, Brent. You're Zuck's role model, admit it!
