Court was in brief session ... when a cop logged in for a virtual hearing, rocking business up top, and party down below ... leaving the judge absolutely shook.

You gotta see the vid -- Detroit Police Officer Matthew Jackson logged in for a proceeding of Michigan's 36th District Court on Monday ... and thanks to a very unlucky camera placement, the whole courtroom got an eyeful of his "uniform" ... boxers included (thankfully).

The courtroom gasped in unison... and Judge Sean Perkins blurted out in horror, "You got some pants on, officer?" Guess you could say justice really was hanging by a thread.

It looks like Dr. Phil's going to be asking for some advice in the near future ... because he just took a major loss in his company's bankruptcy trial.

A U.S. bankruptcy judge ordered the proceeding to switch over to a Chapter 7 liquidation case ... as opposed to keeping things in a standard Chapter 11 bankruptcy case on Tuesday, according to Variety.

The trial's centered on the fate of Merit Street Media, a television network startup which was the result of a collaboration between Christian not-for-profit broadcaster TBN and Phil's Peteski Productions. The company was launched in April 2024, and it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July this year.

Kenneth Leland Morgan -- the man who allegedly dressed in a Nazi costume before striking a University of Georgia student with a beer stein -- was denied entrance into the college bar, Cutters, because of the Gestapo uniform, TMZ has learned.

According to a police report, obtained by TMZ ... customers at Cutters say they met Morgan outside the bar, along with bar staff, and told him "he couldn't come in while dressed as a Nazi."

As the argument grew heated, Morgan's alleged victim -- identified as Alexandra Lang -- apparently swiped at his Nazi armband to remove it. According to police, Alexandra moved away from Morgan but witnesses say he responded by pulling her towards him and striking her in the face with "a large glass beer stein."

Sia's divorce from her second husband is getting nasty ... because a custody battle just broke out with both of them hurling accusations at the other.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Sia's estranged husband Daniel Bernad is asking the judge for sole custody of their one-year-old, Somersault Wonder Bernad, alleging she is a "serious and immediate danger" to their son, but Sia says he's already restricted to monitored visits because of a child porn investigation.

In the papers, Daniel says, "Sia is an unfit and unreliable parent struggling with substance abuse and addiction, rendering her incapable of providing safe or stable care for Summi. I am the only safe and reliable parent for our son. I am a doctor, young, healthy, and have no criminal history or drug or alcohol addiction issues."

It appears the olive branch DDG extended to Halle Bailey earlier this month may be working ... 'cause they both agreed to drop their domestic violence order requests against one another.

In a new stipulation filed by the parties and signed off on by the judge, the exes worked out temporary custody issues for their 1-year-old, Halo, while agreeing to dismiss their respective DVRO requests. They each reserved the right to resurrect the DV claims in the event of any future incident of abuse ... but, it's a start to show they're trying to move past their differences.

As for custody, they've worked out a temporary arrangement that gives DDG custody on Wednesdays and certain weekends.

Kenneth Leland Morgan -- the man who allegedly dressed in a Nazi costume before striking a University of Georgia student with a beer stein -- posed for his mugshot in an orange jumpsuit after being stripped of his now infamous Gestapo costume.

TMZ has obtained a booking photo of Morgan, and based on his expression ... he doesn't look too thrilled to be locked up in the Athens-Clarke County slammer while wearing scrubs issued by the jail. It's unclear what exactly happened to his neatly pressed Gestapo uniform, but we imagine the jail took custody of it for the time being.

According to legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Morgan's been charged with felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor simple battery.

Tyler Robinson -- the 22-year-old who prosecutors say murdered Charlie Kirk -- just scored a small legal victory in court ... and it's all about optics.

ICYMI ... the media mogul and businesswoman appeared on BBC’s "The Graham Norton Show" and said she's totally confident she'll be a "qualified lawyer" in 2 weeks -- when the results of her test are released. This had people thinking she may know something a little extra ... but a source close to Kim tells TMZ that's simply not true.

TMZ’s got the docs ... Bijou just filed to change her 11-year-old’s name from Fianna Francis Masterson to Fianna Francis Phillips, to scrub any link to her convicted ex.

She’s just waiting on a judge to sign off ... it’s a big move -- especially since Bijou stood by Danny through both his criminal trial and retrial, before finally filing for divorce a week after he got slammed with 30 years to life in prison for 2 counts of forcible rape in 2023.
