Omarion to Brawl Victims: Hey Dumbasses ... You're Suing the Wrong Guy!
Omarion says he feels really, really bad for the two guys who claim they got their asses kicked at one of his concerts ... but the singer tells TMZ -- it's OBVIOUS he's not responsible for the beatdown.
We broke the story ... two men are suing O -- claiming they were seriously injured when a brawl broke out at his Sept. 21 show in NY. The guys believe O is to blame because he advertised "tight security" on his concert poster.
Omarion says he hopes the guys are "OK" ... but he's adamant he's "not liable for anything that has to do with the club."
"It's unfortunate that whoever is trying to get some money out of it ain't smart enough to know what to do," Omarion says ... "but it ain't got nothin' to do with me."
He adds, "I got bread ... but they ain't gettin' none of it."

Tony Parker Winning NBA Finals Could Cost Him $20 Mil
Tony Parker and his fellow San Antonio Spurs are poised to snatch the NBA championship title from the Miami Heat ... but a victory could cost Tony a fortune.
As you know ... the Spurs are up 1-zip in the finals, and the odds are they could win the whole shebang, because let's face it ... the Heat players are a little haggard.
Tony is in the middle of a $20 million lawsuit over the blowout fight between Drake and Chris Brown at W.i.P. Nightclub in NYC. Parker says he suffered lacerations to his cornea when a glass shard from a bottle struck him in the eye.
When Parker filed the suit, he was halfway through a $50 million contract with the Spurs ... and his future seemed uncertain given the eye injury.
Parker is suing the club, claiming it was negligent in not preventing the brewing brawl.
Now here's the problem ... Tony played a fantastic season this year. He could have won MVP if he hadn't sprained his ankle ... and if LeBron James had suddenly retired.
So the $20 million damage claim kind of goes out the window, especially if Tony gets a ring.
Here's the good news -- In a year, he'll sign a new deal, and $20 mil may look like chump change.

Marilyn Manson Dedicates Song to Paris Jackson 'Disposable Teens'
Marilyn Manson dedicated a song to Paris Jackson at his concert in L.A. last night ... a song called "Disposable Teens" -- a track about a teenager who's angry with society.
Manson's dedication was simple -- just telling the crowd, "This song is for Paris Jackson."
The rocker then launched into "Disposable Teens." Here's a sampling of some of the lyrics:
"And I'm a black rainbow ... And I'm an ape of god ... I've got a face that's made for violence upon ... And I'm a teen distortion ... Survived abortion ... A rebel from the waist down."
"You say you wanted evolution ... The ape was a great big hit ...
You say you want a revolution, man ... And I say that you're full of sh*t."
We broke the story ... hours before Paris took a meat cleaver to her arm at her Calabasas home earlier this week, she "threw a fit" because she wasn't allowed to attend a Marilyn Manson show.

Paris Jackson has been in meltdown mode for nearly a year ... this according to sources connected to her exclusive private school.
Our sources from the exclusive Buckley School in the San Fernando Valley tell TMZ ... school officials were aware Paris was dealing with a "major family trauma" when the school year began last September. Based on the timeline, it appears the issue involved Katherine Jackson's mysterious "disappearance" last July.
