12/8/25 -- 1:18 PM PT -- Attorney's John W. Harris tells TMZ ... "Unfortunately, Mr. Frost's characterization is entirely misleading and factually incorrect. Despite the defense attorneys' attempts to distort the record, these devices are being provided by our clients pursuant to a voluntary agreement between the parties, not under compulsion.

He adds, "As we have consistently stated, the Robinsons' victims have nothing to hide. They look forward to their day in court and to seeing justice served."

Smokey Robinson's attorney Christopher Frost tells TMZ ... "We are pleased with the Court’s ruling. Plaintiffs’ motives have been clear all along. File a vile and salacious complaint, and then bring these plaintiffs out a handful at a time so it looks like there are new and independent allegations, when the truth is that these people all worked together to contrive this lawsuit."

He continues, They are now keeping the public in the dark about the truth by hiding behind a confidentiality order and refusing to produce any documents at all. We know the types of communications these plaintiffs had with our clients prior to deciding to sue them, so we are pleased to finally be able to access information that will help the court, a jury, and the public know the truth.”

Smokey Robinson won a legal battle in his legal war against his sexual assault accusers ... a judge granted the singer's request for the anonymous accusers to turn over their cell phones.

"Vanderpump Villa" star Marciano Brunette is suing "Secret Lives of Mormon Lives" star Demi Engemann for defamation ... he says her sexual assault allegations against him are a bunch of baloney.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Marciano claims Demi is damaging his reputation by falsely calling him a "sexual predator" and accusing him of sexual assault.

He says she's lying about their interaction last year at the "Vanderpump Villa" in Italy ... claiming the kiss they shared off camera was totally consensual, despite how Demi has been portraying things on social media and TV.

The man known as the real-life "Mrs. Doubtfire" for allegedly collecting his mom's pension checks after she died is now being featured in surveillance video carrying out his alleged scam dressed as an elderly woman.

Check it out ... the 56-year-old dude -- decked out as a 70's matron with make-up on his face -- walks with a cane into a registry office in Italy to renew his mom's expired identity card so he can continue receiving pension checks. He's also seen on surveillance video strolling out of the building after allegedly perpetrating the fraud.

During the visit, a council employee quickly noticed the phony mom's neck looked like a tree trunk, and he had wrinkles all over his face, which appeared "unnatural," according to local media reports.

Luigi Mangione's critical hearing in his state murder case was put on ice Friday, because the defendant's under the weather.

Judge Gregory Carro made the announcement just as court was set to begin Friday ... saying Mangione had fallen ill. The judge said the hearing will resume Monday.

We got LM's defense heading out of the courthouse -- dressed their best to impress the judge -- but they were mum as to what was ailing Luigi.

The Justin Baldoni vs. Blake Lively legal battle just got even weirder ... Baldoni testified he told Lively he was circumcised, even though she didn't ask about his phallic status.

In a deposition transcript, obtained by TMZ, Justin describes a discussion with Blake about whether she and Ryan Reynolds' baby would be circumcised ... and says he shared with his "It Ends With Us" costar that he was snipped. He also said Ryan was "in and out of" that convo.

When attorney Michael J. Gottlieb asked Baldoni if Lively had ever asked if he was circumcised, Baldoni answered, "Directly, no."

12:11 PM PT -- A rep for Charlie tells TMZ ... "Brooke has been in and out of rehab for the past 15 years, while Charlie has had 100% custody of the kids, which is why she is not entitled to any child support."

Charlie Sheen's ex-wife Brooke Mueller is banging down his door, ready to collect on the huge bill -- about $15 million -- she claims he owes her for unpaid child support.

Brooke informed an L.A. County judge she wants Charlie to cough up the money ASAP. In docs filed Thursday, and obtained by TMZ, she says the ex "Two and a Half Men" star owes her $8,967,600 in child support plus another $6,418,643 in accrued interest.

And, the kicker ... mama wants it paid in full in 30 days!

Brooke explains Charlie was ordered to pay her $55,000 per month in child support in April 2010, and there were no issues until July 2011 ... when he started sending either partial payments or failed to make any payments at all. So, she wants the court to make him pay what she's rightfully owed, plus $25,000 in attorney fees and costs.

Brian Walshe made numerous calls in the days after Ana disappeared in 2023 ... including to her lover -- and, prosecutors played the voicemail he left in court Thursday.

Walshe called William Fastow on January 4 ... trying to reach him multiple times -- though Fastow said he avoided picking up the phone multiple times since he knew it was his lover's husband trying to reach out to him, and he worried about some sort of confrontation.

Brian eventually left the message played in court ... in which he tells Fastow he hasn't heard from Ana for several days.

7:00 PM -- Attorney Joe Tacopina tells TMZ ... "Tyrone Blackburn is truly astonishing -- just when I thought his web of lies couldn’t sink to new lows, he manages to outdo himself yet again.

JT continues to tell us ... "Time after time, he’s been scolded by judges for fabricating cases or fined for falsifying legal matters, so it’s undoubtedly clear that he’s a pathological liar."

Joe ends with ... "It’s only a matter of time before he’s disbarred for making a complete mockery of the legal profession."

More drama in the Fat Joe civil case ... his accuser's attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, is getting called out for blaming a legal mistake on artificial intelligence software.

Here's the deal ... Fat Joe's attorneys filed legal docs claiming Tyrone cited cases that didn't exist in his opening brief, and then Tyrone blamed the mistakes on a LexisNexis AI feature.

Well, seems Tyrone's excuse made its way back to LexisNexis, and now the company is speaking out and pushing back against Tyrone.

A doctor who pled guilty in connection to Matthew Perry's death found out his fate Wednesday ... the judge sentenced him to 30 months -- about 2.5 years -- in prison.

Jeffrey Epstein's notorious pedophile island is beginning to come into full focus ... the Congressional House Oversight Committee just released never-before-seen photos and videos of Epstein's private island of perversions -- and the footage is downright creepy.

First, we're taken on a video tour by a camera person who brings us all around Epstein's Island -- Little Saint James -- in the Virgin Islands. We are given an insider's look into the private quarters of the late financier, as well as his sterile all-white bedroom with a canopy bed and a box of tissues on a nightstand. We're also given a sneak peek inside Epstein's bathroom with beauty products, toiletries, and a bottle of Johnson's baby powder on the shelves.

Then, we're given a video tour outside the compound, and we see a gigantic pool with a hose floating in the water. A statue of a native person shooting a bow and arrow stands alongside the pool.

"Last Comic Standing" finalist Rebecca Corry is not joking about animal rights in Los Angeles ... her nonprofit just sued the city, the cops, and Mayor Karen Bass, among others ... over the unethical treatment of animals in city shelters and on downtown's Skid Row.

All jokes aside ... Corry isn't just a comedian, she's also an animal activist and founder of the Stand Up For Pits Foundation, which dedicates itself to saving the lives of pit bull-type dogs.

In the new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the foundation is suing Bass, the LAPD, Los Angeles Animal Services, L.A. Animal Services Manager Annette Ramirez, and the City of Los Angeles -- claiming they're all to blame for not following the law in caring for stray animals, and causing widespread animal suffering.

For the first time, police body cam footage of Luigi Mangione's arrest was shown at length during Tuesday's hearing in NYC, revealing Luigi pretended to be homeless when police first questioned him.

As you know ... Luigi was approached by police December 9, 2024 at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, five days after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was gunned down outside a Manhattan hotel.

In the video, one of the 2 officers first struts by Luigi to test how he reacts, but Luigi plays it cool, sitting at a table and attending to his laptop computer.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan's divorce settlement wasn't public, but now we've got a financial nugget from how it all played out ... they're getting a chunk of the other's retirement plans.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Channing and Jenna signed off on a 50 percent split of the other's retirement benefits from the Screen Actors Guild-Producers Pension Plan.

It's unclear how much that slice of the pie is actually worth ... but the docs say the retirement benefits are calculated by dividing pension credit earned during their 2009 to 2018 marriage by total pension credit earned.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is steaming mad at Netflix and 50 Cent ... because he's going scorched earth on a new docuseries that's about to hit the streaming service.

In a statement, Juda Engelmayer, a spokesperson for Diddy, tells TMZ ... "Netflix's so-called 'documentary' is a shameful hit piece" and "confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release."

As you know, 50 promoted the docuseries Monday on "Good Morning America" before its Tuesday release on Netflix, and he previewed never-before-seen footage of Diddy recorded just prior to his September 2024 arrest.

50 also had a very different view on what Diddy's reaction would be to the series, saying the music mogul would think it was "amazing" and "the best documentary I've seen in a long time" with the exception of some bits and pieces. 50 added that Diddy would ultimately "see the truth in it."

Luigi Mangione's eyebrows were a dead giveaway he was the man wanted for gunning down a health care executive in cold blood ... at least according to folks who were eating at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania.

In a pretrial hearing Monday in New York, state prosecutors played the 911 call that led to Luigi's arrest at a Mickey D's in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

In the audio, the caller states there's a man in the McDonald's who other customers are suspicious of who "looks like the CEO shooter from New York."
