"Real Housewife of Orange County's" Lynne Curtin was just evicted from her home -- and we've learned this wasn't the first time she's gotten the boot.

According to eviction docs we dug up, the Curtins were kicked out of a place waaaay back in 2003 as well. The amount they owed that homeowner: $9,104 ... and, allegedly, they never paid.

So this is no surprise -- Steven Seagal and A&E are now being sued over the reality show "Steven Seagal: Lawman" ... right after A&E filed papers expecting to be sued over the show.

Genuine Entertainment -- aka The Idea Factory -- just filed a lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court, claiming they were in talks with Seagal and his agent to film a reality show.

Factory alleges they approached A&E with ideas for Seagal's show, but were then backstabbed by everyone when A&E moved forward with a reality show featuring Seagal without them.

Factory is suing for a handful of reasons, including fraud, breach of implied-in-fact contract and breach of oral joint venture -- they're suing for an undetermined amount.

Who knew Steven Seagal is still so hot people would sue over him.

A production company claims A&E stole its idea to do a reality show featuring Seagal. The Idea Factory claims it pitched some crazy ideas to A & E, including one where Seagal would live with Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme. A&E was not impressed.

But of course, A&E eventually saw the light and decided to create a show with Seagal, sans Norris and Van Damme -- and sans The Idea Factory.

A&E says the show will portray Seagal's "real life."

Apparently, The Idea Factory has made rumblings of a lawsuit -- and also sent A&E a bill for "a vast sum." So A&E has filed legal papers, asking a judge to say they don't owe The Idea Factory squat.

Everyone from Queen Latifah to last year's winner David Cook sported the inexplicable side bang/spiky top shag.

In his appeal, Nick's dad -- Hulk Hogan -- claims reality show "Hogan Knows Best" is "scripted" and that Nick isn't the wild kid people see on TV. He barely addresses Nick's insane driving and insists the whole thing was an "accident."

Nick writes that the ordeal since August 26 has been difficult and that he's a changed man -- but he still doesn't know how to spell. ("Diffiucult" and "chanegd," for the record.)

Brooke's been looking for a school where she can shoot her VH1 reality show, and she tried to get Florida State University, Central Florida, and South Florida to let her play prospective college student. They rejected her outright, reports the Palm Beach Post, because all the cameras and crew would be too distracting. Never mind that she probably couldn't get into those schools anyway.

Is gangsta twang a new musical genre, because why the hell would Snoop Dogg show up to the CMT Music Awards -- in full on vampire western gear?! Drop it like it's WHAT?!

Teen pin-up and former Lindsay Lohan plaything Aaron Carter is hot property in the reality TV world, but don't expect to see him on the boob tube any time soon.

The littler Carter was offered a spot on the upcoming season of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," and on MTV's "Celebrity Rap Superstar," but had to opt out of both.

Say it isn't so! Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis' hard-partying, firecrotch-calling ways have finally caught up with him. Page Six reports that Davis' wealthy oil family is so disgusted by his behavior that they've financially cut him off.

Greasy Bear's been asking friends for funds to stay afloat, but these days, many of them, including Paris Hilton and Stavros Niarchos, aren't calling him back. Oh, how the Greasy Bear has fallen!

The oily heir has reportedly holed up in Miami with one of his few remaining pals, music producer Scott Storch.

Britney Spears falls in love with dogs just about as quickly as she falls in love with men, y'all. Brit-Brit picked up a new Yorkie puppy yesterday after walking into a Bel Air pet store and spending less than a half hour with the pup. Take that, Jason Alexander!

The pop trainwreck plunked down a cool $3K for the pooch, who, reports People, has been named London. Also new to the Brit menagerie of weird and wacky animals: a parakeet she picked up last month.

Crabby Simon Cowell weighed in on the ongoing feud between Kelly Clarkson and Sony/BMG boss Clive Davis -- and he's firmly in the Davis camp. Clarkson and Davis butted heads over Clarkson's newest album -- with a catty Kelly saying to Davis, "You're 80, you're not supposed to like my album."

Cowell fired back in Davis' defense, telling EXTRA "Clive Davis at 80 is better than 99 percent of the people in the music business in their 20s, 30s and 40s ... and he's not 80 ... [Davis] is the boss of the record company, and it's his job to advise."

Is The Game a cry baby with nothing to offer in the sex department? That's what one of his ex-girlfriends seems to think.

TMZ dug up an old episode of the popular dating show "Change of Heart" from 2000, where the platinum selling rapper, unknown at the time, takes one of the worst beatings of his life from a former lover ... keep in mind he's been shot several times since.

The Game, then 21 years old, claims he called up the show to test the strength of his love for then-girlfriend Sadita. What ensued was 30 minutes of pure humiliation.
