"Baywatch" star Alexandra Paul has just been ordered by a judge NOT to harass her stalker ... bizarre but true.

It all started back in 2011 ... when Nicole Albrecht -- a German citizen -- and her 8-year-old brother knocked on Alexandra's door at her home in Pacific Palisades and asked to use the bathroom. Alexandra obliged.

A short time later, Nicole showed up with a gift to thank Alexandra for the hospitality. But that wasn't the end. Alexandra says Nicole went psycho, showing up 3 more times in a week.

And then Nicole started showing up at Alexandra's gym and nearby pool. At that point Alexandra and her hubby went to court and got a restraining order against Nicole.

Somehow Alexandra and Nicole ended up in a room with a mediator, and they agreed to stay clear of each other at the gym, the pool and Alexandra's home.

Fast forward to October. The two women start running into each other at the pool. Alexandra pitches a fit, telling Nicole she has no right to be there. But Nicole fires back, she's a member of the community pool and Alexandra was horning in on HER space.

So Nicole went to court and just got a restraining order against Alexandra, prohibiting the "Baywatch" star from harassing, intimidating, molesting, attacking, striking, stalking, threatening, assaulting, hitting, or abusing her at the cement pond.

By the way, Alexandra ended up getting the same order against Nicole.

Justin Bieber took a water bottle to the face during a live concert in Brazil this weekend ... just like he did in 2009 ... but this time, he reacted MUCH, MUCH differently.

You remember the 2009 shot, when someone beaned the cute, adorable (shirted) pop star -- and he reacted by smiling and telling the crowd, "Ow! That didn't feel too good."

But Brazil was different -- an unshirted Bieber got smacked (while singing "Boyfriend") ... and reacts by mad-doggin' the crowd and storming off the stage.

How quickly they grow up ...

9:30 AM PT: Looks like Bieber had quite the weekend in Brazil -- during a show the next night a fan bum-rushed the stage ... and was swiftly taken care of by the backup dancers.

Denver Nuggets mascot Rocky the Mountain Lion's motionless body was lowered from the Pepsi Center ceiling last night before their home opener ... but the big mystery is why.

The plan called for Rocky to be lowered from the rafters with a spotlight on him ... but when his descent to the floor began -- Rocky didn't move a muscle ... and instantly collapsed when he touched the ground.

According to reports ... the guy in the suit was checked out right after and walked off the court on his own, but so far ... the team has been hush-hush on what happened.

Good news -- the team should have Rocky back for their next game.

Metallica -- yes, Metallica -- just professed their love and admiration for all things Justin Bieber… and they weren’t kidding … like not even a little bit.

The band was giving an interview with a rock magazine about Bieber's recent take on their mega-hit "Fade to Black," when lead singer James Hetfield admitted, "Are we Beliebers? Yes."

Drummer Lars Ulrich backed James up ... saying, "I think the kid's really talented and obviously to go through what he's going through at that early age must be a mindf**k. So the fact that he still goes out there and does it, I admire that and I think he's super talented, so I guess I am kind of a Belieber.”

Bassist Robert Trujillo added "As long as he stays out of trouble, I'll be a Belieber.”

Right ... ‘cause what’s more heavy metal than staying out of trouble and making good clean pop music for the kids?

Perv.

GHOSTS ARE REAL ... and they love soup ... so says master of all things paranormal, Gary Busey!!!

Busey was leaving a Ralphs grocery store in Malibu yesterday when we asked if he's ever had an experience with the undead -- and boy, did he ever!!!!

"I had a ghost one time come out of a big plate of soup I had ... it was called a soup ghost."

It gets better -- watch the clip.

This is hilaaarious!!!!!

TMZ cameras were rolling when Steve Wozniak (Apple co-founder) met DMX (rapper/habitual arrestee) for the very first time last night ... and it was so awkward!!!!

It all went down at LAX -- after the two celebs got off the same plane ... and the following things occurred:

-- awkward, confusing handshake
-- DMX gets Steve to agree to participate in an actual robbery
-- awkward goodbye fist pound.

Miley Cyrus is more trick than treat this Halloween ... at least judging by the photo of some very X-rated pumpkins she just posted on Twitter.

It's unclear if Miley carved the Jack-o'-lanterns herself -- but she's definitely proud of the 3 pumpkins, 2 of which contain images of people bangin' (one lesbian scene) and another gourd contains an image of a giant marijuana leaf.

And to tie the whole thing together, there's a sign that reads, "Happy F**king Halloween."

You stay classy, Miley.

Britney Spears is already picking up some Vegas hangers-on … ‘cause Mini-Britney is launching her own rival act on the Strip -- and TMZ has learned it’s opening the same night as big Brit's show.

Sin City sources tell us ... Mini-Brit, aka Elena Gant, is steppin’ up large ... kicking off a new show at Beacher’s Madhouse in the MGM Grand Hotel on Dec. 27th… the same night Spears opens at Planet Hollywood.

And 12" isn't the only discrepancy between the ladies (5'4" to 4'4") -- Britney is set to rake in about $310,000 per show … while mini-BS will make a slightly shorter stack of $310 per night.

Still undecided about which show to check out? If you order an expensive bottle of booze at Mini-Britney's gig … a little person flies out of a stuffed elephant’s BUTT to deliver it to you.

Stay classy, Vegas.

Kanye West has been called a lot of things ... a lot ... but after his concert in L.A. last night, one star compared the rapper to Picasso, Oscar the Grouch and "that n**ga from Phantom of the Opera."

Marlon Wayans was among the tons of celebs that hit up K's show at Staples Center -- along with Fergie, Craig Robinson, Andy Garcia and Sean Kingston.

After the concert, Marlon broke down the whole thing -- saying, "He's an artist man. I didn't see his face the whole time ... like the n** ga in Phantom of the Opera."

Marlon is clearly referring to the crazy masks Kanye's been wearing during his tour. He also addresses the wardrobe and the music -- and it's equally hilarious. Check out the clip.

Justin Bieber ventured deep into the Guatemalan jungle to help a group of poor villagers construct a badly needed schoolhouse this weekend ... and TMZ has the pics.

After Justin performed in Guatemala City on Saturday, he joined up with Pencils of Promise -- an organization dedicated to building schools for communities in need.

JB was choppered into a remote area outside the city on Sunday ... where a makeshift construction crew was already busy putting up walls for the new school.

In a video posted on his blog, Bieber says the town was overrun with poverty -- "I'm not talking about poor, I'm talking about 10 people living in a little shack."

Inspired, Justin ditched his shirt and went to work -- grabbing a wheelbarrow and helping to build a wall for the school.

He also took off his shoes and gave them to one of the local children.

Afterward, Bieber says it was, "one of the most amazing powerful experiences of my life."

Bieber says the experience helped him grow as a person -- saying, "I feel like they helped me as much as I helped them."

Don't expect to see Jason Momoa slap-battling anymore random dudes at bars ... 'cause the "Game of Thrones" actor says he's hanging up his mitts for good.

Momoa was catching a flight out of LAX when we asked about the video that went viral this week of his dominating slap sesh ... and Khal Drago told us that was his final battle.

Momoa says the dumbass in the video who challenged him was a friend -- and after the battle the guy's hands healed quickly. Why do we think Jason's friend would have a different opinion?

Oh, yeah ... because we've seen the video.

First order of business ... turn my bedroom door into a Gucci shrine!!!

We'd say it looks lame ... but Rampage is really strong.

The fate of the Los Angeles Lakers rests in the hands of Kobe Bryant ... which is why it might be concerning that his hands are near the mouth of A LIVE MAN-EATING LION!!!

Kobe faced down the king of the jungle at an L.A. studio today ... during a commercial shoot for Turkish Airlines. Kobe's a celebrity spokesman for the airline.

Check out the pics above ... that's Kobe sticking his right hand (his shooting hand, mind you) directly up to the lion's mouth.

Fortunately, Kobe emerged without a scratch ... and he's lucky ... 'cause as everyone knows, big cats can be dangerous to humans. Just ask Adam Sandler ...

We now know why Madonna broke up with her 26-year-old ex-boyfriend Jesus Luz ... the guy kisses ... like a St. Bernard.

The photo was taken today in Italy. We don't know who the unlucky girl is, but we're really hoping she brought a towel ... and some industrial strength disinfectant.

FYI, Madge and Jesus first got together in 2008 when Jesus was just 21 (and Madonna was 50) and split in 2010. They probably had some other problems too.

Looking like she accidentally got her head stuck in a giant block of moldy Manchego, Lady Gaga stepped out in Berlin earlier today, definitely not scrounging for attention.
