Fairly Legal

Dan Schneider está llevando a los productores de "Quiet on Set" a los tribunales, alegando que lo difamaron al retratarlo falsamente como un abusador sexual de niños mientras estaba en Nickelodeon, arruinando su reputación.

El famoso productor de televisión acaba de presentar una demanda por difamación obtenida por TMZ, que arremete contra la docuserie y sus creadores, incluyendo Warner Bros. Discovery, Maxine Productions, Sony Pictures Television y otros, por insinuar falsamente que abusó sexualmente de los niños que trabajaron en sus programas en el pasado.

Los abogados de Dan no se andan con rodeos y están criticando a "Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV", como un "ataque deliberado". Como ustedes saben, Dan creó "The Amanda Show", "Drake & Josh", "Zoey 101", "iCarly" y "Victorious" durante su mandato en Nickelodeon, y en "Quiet On Set", fue el foco principal.

12:29 PM PT -- El abogado de Harvey Weinstein, Juda Engelmayer, le dice a TMZ que su equipo legal tiene curiosidad por ver si los fiscales pueden conseguir a los testigos adecuados para hacer que esto pase de nuevo. Cree que uno de los denunciantes originales  ya perjurio a sí misma, por lo que no cree que tengan un caso realmente.

Engelmayer dice que Weinstein está listo para el desafío a pesar de sus problemas de salud, y dice que Weinstein tiene un renovado rayo de esperanza y el vigor restaurado

Harvey Weinstein se va a enfrentar de nuevo al tribunal penal de Nueva York, porque los fiscales dicen que van a volver a juzgarlo a finales de este año.

Jonathan Majors looked lighter than air at the beach with Meagan Good -- and it seems they both know the criminal saga is over ... 'cause they're kissing like there's no tomorrow.

The couple hit up Malibu Tuesday ... putting their love on display by locking lips and cuddling up on the sand. Jonathan -- who has been training hard at the gym recently, which shows -- beamed as he effortlessly carried Meagan on his back and into the ocean at one point.

The duo even braved the Pacific Ocean ... screaming out with laughter when they were hit by one brisk wave. As you can see ... the lovebirds were fully wrapped up in each other.

Dan Schneider is taking producers of 'Quiet on Set' to court -- claiming they defamed him by falsely portraying him as a child sexual abuser at Nickelodeon, and ruining his reputation.

The famed TV producer just filed a defamation lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, slamming the docuseries and its creators -- including Warner Bros. Discovery, Maxine Productions, Sony Pictures Television and others -- for falsely implying he sexually abused the child actors who worked on his shows back in the day.

Dan's lawyers don't mince words ... blasting "Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV" as a "hit job." As you know, Dan created "The Amanda Show," "Drake & Josh," "Zoey 101," "iCarly" and "Victorious" during his tenure at Nickelodeon ... and in 'QOS,' he was the main focus.

12:29 PM PT -- Harvey Weinstein's attorney, Juda Engelmayer, tells TMZ ... their legal team is curious to see if prosecutors can whip up the right witnesses to do this again. He says he believes one of the original complainants perjured herself already ... so they don't think the D.A. has a case.

If they do wanna run it back, though, Engelmayer says Weinstein is up for the challenge ... despite his health issues. He says HW has a renewed glimmer of hope and restored vigor.

Harvey Weinstein is going to be put through the wringer again in criminal court out in New York -- because prosecutors say they're retrying him ... which will happen later this year.

Un tribunal acaba de declarar a Donald Trump en desacato por violar una orden que le prohíbe hablar del caso penal de dineros para sobornos, y aunque solo tiene que pagar multas por ahora, el juez lo está amenazando con la cárcel.

El ex Presidente sufrió una bofetada el martes, tras recibir algunas sanciones de parte de un tribunal de Nueva York, que le impuso una multa de $9.000 mil por cada violación de la orden de silencio emitida en este caso y que exige que todos cierren la boca y no hagan declaraciones públicas al respecto, incluyendo Donald Trump.

Si bien puede parecer poca cosa, y ciertamente lo es para un tipo como Trump, su señoría mantuvo la posibilidad de encerrarlo temporalmente si sigue hablando.

Donald Trump just got held in contempt of court for violating a gag order in his criminal hush money case -- and while he only has to pay fines for now ... the judge is threatening jail.

The ex-Prez got slapped with some sanctions Tuesday in NYC, where a court imposed a $9,000 fine -- a thousand for each violation of the gag order that's been issued in this case, which demands everyone shut their yap and not make public statements ... including DT.

While it might seem like small potatoes -- and it certainly is for a guy like Trump -- hizzoner held the prospect of temporary incarceration over Trump's head if he kept running his mouth.

Britney Spears necesita mucha ayuda en este momento, y la solución podría ser una nueva tutela y una tonelada de medicamentos... al menos eso cree el Dr. Charles Sophy.

Tuvimos al famoso psiquiatra de Hollywood el lunes en "TMZ Live", donde ofreció su opinión profesional respecto a la situación de Britney. Recordemos que últimamente la cantante se ha mostrado errática, gastando millones de dólares y haciendo que su estabilidad económica comience a peligrar.

Escucha lo que el Dr. Sophy piensa que necesita Britney en este punto... Él cree que un intento por una segunda tutela podría ser la solución.

Britney Spears needs a lot of help right now -- and the answer may lie in a new conservatorship and a ton of medication ... so says Dr. Charles Sophy.

We got the famed Hollywood psychiatrist Monday on "TMZ Live," where he offered up his professional opinion on Britney's situation -- this as she appears to be unraveling at the seams ... with her finances in shambles as she continues to spend excessively.

Take a listen to what Dr. Sophy says he thinks Britney requires at this point ... from his POV, he believes a second round of a court-ordered conservatorship might be what's best.

Britney Spears is in "serious danger" on both the mental and financial front and is doing way worse than she was under the conservatorship ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.

As for her mental health, our sources say Britney is "completely dysfunctional." Since the conservatorship ended, she has no supervision and, according to sources, has radical mood swings that we're told are "shocking."

We're told she's almost totally isolated and, as it was put to us, dangerously unstable.

Haley Pullos got thrown into jail this week over her DUI case -- and from the way she looked going into court ... it's almost as if she knew what was coming.

The "General Hospital" star was photographed walking into court Monday -- and she definitely didn't look too happy with what she was about to face. As it turns out, Haley ended up pleading no contest to one of the charges against her ... driving under the influence with .08 BAC causing bodily injury.

Officers at the time claimed they found edibles and mini-bottles of tequila in her car -- and that she showed clear signs of intoxication. Even before this nasty wreck -- which landed the other driver in the hospital -- police alleged she'd been involved in an earlier hit-and-run incident.

Britney Spears está en "grave peligro", tanto mental como financieramente, y está mucho peor de cuando estaba bajo la tutela... fuentes directas le informan a TMZ.

En cuanto a su salud mental, nuestras fuentes dicen que Britney es "completamente disfuncional". Desde que la tutela terminó que no tiene supervisión, y según las fuentes, tiene cambios de humor radicales que nos dicen que son "impactantes".

Nos dicen que está casi totalmente aislada, y según nos han dicho, peligrosamente inestable.

Suge Knight dice que los problemas legales de Diddy no son nada para alegrarse. Extrañas palabras teniendo en cuenta las décadas de mala sangre entre los dos, y revela sus sentimientos en un nuevo documental "TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy".

El ex ejecutivo de Death Row habló con nosotros desde la cárcel sobre su rival de toda la vida, y aunque muchos esperaban que se regodeara sobre el asalto a las mansiones de Diddy, Suge dice que sintió simpatía por Puff.

Suge dice que sus pensamientos fueron a los niños de Diddy y el impacto negativo de las acusaciones tienen en la cultura hip-hop.

Diddy's legal troubles aren't anything to cheer about, says Suge Knight ... a shocking sentiment given the decades-long bad blood between the two, and he reveals his sentiments in a brand new documentary "TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy."

The former Death Row exec spoke with us from prison about his longtime rival, and while many expected him to gloat about the raid on Diddy's mansions ... Suge says he felt sympathy for Puff.

Suge says his thoughts went to Diddy's kids and the negative impact the allegations have on hip-hop culture.

10:04 AM PT -- Diddy sources tell TMZ, "Aubrey O'Day got her big break because Diddy and Bad Boy cast her in their show with her group, Danity Kane. Last year, when he reassigned his portion of the publishing to Bad Boy artists, an unprecedented move within the industry and which he did not have to do, not all artists signed an NDA, contrary to what she claims."

Aubrey O'Day claims Diddy was trying to buy her and other ex-Bad Boy artists' silence when he gave back their publishing rights ... which she says weren't worth jack.
