Federal prosecutors are presenting their closing argument in the Diddy criminal trial ... and they're telling the jury it won't take much to find Diddy guilty of racketeering conspiracy.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik told jurors in court Thursday … to convict on the RICO charge, they only need to find Diddy agreed he or another member of his organization would commit at least two criminal acts under that charge.

Those acts, prosecutors say, include drug distribution, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and sex trafficking of Cassie Ventura and "Jane."

Liver King's not going to hold domain over all of Austin, Texas for the foreseeable future ... 'cause if he sees Joe Rogan coming, he's gotta head the other way.

According to Liver King's release conditions, the social media influencer must stay at least 200 yards away from Rogan and his family members ... and, there's a no-contact order as well -- so, no hitting him up over the phone or social media either.

Liver King can't possess any weapons ... and, within a week of his release, he needs to go in for a mental health evaluation.

A member of the "Grandpa Robbers" gang, who was just convicted in the multimillion-dollar heist of Kim Kardashian's jewels in Paris, has reportedly died.

Didier Dubreucq's reported death comes as he'd been battling lung cancer -- and just a month after he was sentenced to 7 years in prison -- with 5 suspended -- in connection with the 2016 case.

The convicted criminal was hospitalized during the armed robbery trial as he received treatment for his cancer. He was not in court as his guilty verdict was announced on May 23.

Federal sources tell TMZ ... Daniel Park -- who was being housed in the Metropolitan Detention Center downtown -- stepped up on a table on an upper tier of the facility and jumped ... plummeting to the ground floor.

Prison staff attempted life-saving measures ... but authorities said the 32-year-old was declared dead at the hospital later that day. It's unclear how many stories he fell.

The "Party of Five" star beelined it to court Tuesday in Utah and filed for a temporary restraining order against 'Real World' star Kelley Wolf ... TMZ has confirmed.

Scott's filing includes his declaration and another declaration from Michael Wolf, who appears to be one of his siblings.

Diddy's federal criminal trial is entering the final stages, and now we have a sense of how closing arguments will play out ... or at least the schedule and timeline are taking shape.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys were in court Wednesday while jurors were not present, and they hashed out a schedule for closing arguments ... with prosecutors going for 4 hours starting Thursday morning, and the defense making their case the following day.

It was a pretty boring day inside the courtroom, with Diddy keeping a singular AirPod in his ear for much of the proceedings and mostly looking down at his lap. Two of Diddy's sons, Quincy and Justin, were in court too, and they were fighting to stay awake, as was much of the gallery.

The man accused of killing "King of the Hill" voice actor Jonathan Joss is claiming self-defense -- according to his lawyer.

Attorney Nico LaHood says Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez -- known as "Freddy" to friends and family -- is pleading not guilty, and insists he's innocent, adding ... "It’s difficult for anyone who's been accused of something they didn’t do, especially murder."

Alvarez was arrested earlier this month after allegedly shooting and killing his neighbor, Joss, during a heated argument in San Antonio, Texas, according to cops. The late actor’s husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, immediately dubbed it a hate crime -- claiming homophobic slurs were hurled by Alvarez before the fatal shot.

2:50 PM PT -- Jonathan Feldman, General Counsel at Therabody, tells TMZ ... “We believe the claims in the lawsuit are without merit. Therabody has a proud history of innovation and collaboration, and we take intellectual property rights very seriously. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these allegations and look forward to sharing the facts through the appropriate legal process.”

Celebrity-approved chiropractor and MoveU founder Dr. Mike Wasilisin is cracking more than backs ... 'cause he's taking legal action against Therabody for allegedly stealing his designs.

This is what we know ... in the Tuesday complaint obtained by TMZ, Dr. Mike -- whose clients include Antonio Brown, top comedians, talk show hosts, athletes and Bollywood stars -- says he shook hands with Therabody founder Dr. Jason Wersland years ago ... just to have that deal thrown out.

“Love Island” contestant Cashel Barnett has been held in a Utah jail since last month, facing charges of allegedly brutally assaulting his ex-girlfriend in front of their child ... and now he's facing even more felonies for allegedly sexually assaulting the same victim.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ … Utah prosecutors leveled three new charges against the reality star on Tuesday -- including aggravated sexual assault, aggravated assault, and domestic violence in the presence of a child.

Per the docs ... Cashel slapped and choked his ex-girlfriend while sexually assaulting her last November. This after he allegedly withheld any physical contact for a month because the alleged victim asked him to get a job to help support their child.

In a stunning move, the day before closing arguments in Diddy's federal criminal trial in NYC, prosecutors have pulled back on some key testimony during the trial -- specifically attempted kidnapping, attempted arson, and aiding and abetting sex trafficking.

Prosecutors said in a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, the Government is following His Honor's instructions to "streamline" the jury instructions.

Prosecutors are still arguing Diddy allegedly kidnapped former employee Capricorn Clark (who was taken to a building and given a lie detector test to determine if she stole Diddy's jewelry), and Cassie (when she was allegedly held at the London Hotel) -- but, they're simply suggesting the "attempted kidnapping" language be removed from the instructions to the jury.

More drama in the Fat Joe civil case ... his accuser's attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, just got arrested for allegedly mowing down a process server with his car in NYC.

Justin Baldoni's lawyer promised to refile four claims against Blake Lively but he missed the deadline to do so ... and now he tells us his client "will be pursuing additional legal options" against Blake.

Bryan Freedman tells TMZ ... they are proceeding with discovery in the Lively case and they are confident they will be able to prove there was no harassment or any smear campaign, as Blake alleges.

Freedman is also brushing off the fact a judge earlier this month threw out Baldoni's lawsuits against Blake, Ryan Reynolds and The New York Times.

After 28 days of intense witness testimony the prosecution and defense in Diddy's criminal trial in New York have rested their cases ... and they're gearing up for closing arguments.

Prosecutors rested Tuesday after their 34th and final witness, a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations, and then the defense rested without calling a single witness.

Diddy did not testify, but he did briefly speak up in court when confirming it was decision not to take the stand ... he said he was doing good and he thanked the judge for doing an "excellent job."

Rare moment in the Diddy criminal trial ... the music mogul just spoke up in court ... telling the judge how he's feeling, thanking him for doing a good job, and confirming his decision NOT to take the stand before his defense rested their case.

The brief exchange Tuesday started with Judge Arun Subramanian asking Diddy how he was feeling.

Diddy said, "I'm doing great, your honor. I've been wanting to tell you thank you, you're doing an excellent job."

The end is near ... federal prosecutors just rested their case in Diddy's criminal trial in New York.

SNDY prosecutors just finished questioning the last of their 34 witnesses Tuesday afternoon and told the judge they were resting their case ... and then the jury was dismissed for a lunch break.

With jurors out of the room, Diddy's army of defense attorneys is now arguing a motion to dismiss the five charges against Diddy ... they say the judge should throw out the case against Diddy before it even gets sent to the jury because prosecutors did not prove their case.

Kevin's lawyer, Marty Singer, is responding ... and he vehemently denies LaBella's claims.
