Mel pled no contest in March to misdemeanor battery.  He's currently on informal probation.

Bob Marley
's widow is smoking mad over a relative pimping out the family name to sell everything from concerts to fish, poultry, energy drinks and booze -- and she's suing to stop him.

Rita Marley and nine of Bob's kids filed a federal lawsuit against Richard Booker -- Bob's bro from another father ... for trademark infringement and unauthorized use of Marley's likeness.

According to the suit, Booker's been real busy -- registering the trademark "Mama Marley" to sell ... among other things ... fish, fish and chips, fish cakes, fish croquettes, fish fillets, fish mousse, and fish sausages. Yes, Bob loved him some fish.

In addition, the suit claims Booker is using Marley's name and image to market an annual concert in Miami, known as the 9 Mile Music Festival. For those not in the know ... 9 Mile is the Jamaican village where Bob was born and buried.

Bob's family says they have the rights to all things Marley and want all of Booker's profits. They also want a judge to order Booker to stop all future use of the name.

Interestingly, next year's headliners at that 9 Mile Music Festival include Stephen, Damian and Julian Marley -- all plaintiffs in the suit.

Kim Kardashian
is calling shenanigans on Kris Humphries' claims that she defrauded him ... and made him a disposable groom in a sinister reality TV wedding plot ... and one of our staffers has a pretty solid theory on what really happened between them ... it's all about high school.

Plus, we interview Abraham Lincoln ... well, a really good impersonator named Michael Krebs ... what does he think of Daniel Day Lewis playing Abe in the new Steven Spielberg movie?

And, Harvey's wild OJ Simpson / prison connection ... also the hottest TV wives EVER and how much our staff will sell their bodies for.  Seriously.

Kim Kardashian: Does Kris Humphries Think I'm Some Sorta Dummy??? Top

Kim Kardashian
is telling friends ... she's incredulous over Kris Humphries' claim that she used him as a disposable groom just to get a pop on her reality show.

Kim is bragging -- and on this one she has a right to brag -- she and her mom are marketing geniuses, so why would she set herself up to be skewered in the media by dumping her husband after only 72 days?  Kim acknowledges the split has been rough on her image and she would never have intentionally self-destructed.

And, Kim says, if this were really a wedding truly made for TV, she would have made it "way better," telling friends, "I'm no dummy.  The divorce would have been just as dramatic and dragged out as the wedding." 

Kim is telling friends Kris' latest move is "pathetic," adding, "Why fight over any of this?"

Gary Dourdan in court
An angry judge just ripped Gary Dourdan a new one ... after learning the former "CSI" star illegally texted his former GF ... allegedly.

Dourdan pled not guilty to felony domestic violence charges for allegedly breaking Nicole Vail Cannizzaro's nose.

Immediately after Dourdan was arrested last month, the police got a restraining order which prohibited the actor from contacting his ex, but the D.A. claims Dourdan violated that order by texting her.

Judge Keith Schwartz told Dourdan, "I don't mess around with domestic violence cases ... You understand?"

The judge issued a 3 year restraining order and gave Dourdan an ultimatum -- stay the hell away from her, or he's going to jail ... NOW.

Tiger Woods may not be the golfer he once was but hey, the guy still knows how to draw a crowd.

Woods was mobbed by a bunch of golf groupies -- sadly for Tiger, all men  -- pushing and shoving for his autograph as he headed to the first tee Wednesday at the Tiger Woods Invitational in Westlake, CA.

The charity game benefited the Tiger Woods Foundation, which we're assuming isn't for underprivileged mistresses and porn stars.

'Cowboys & Aliens' Lawsuit -- Comic Book Writer Says Movie Producers are Robbers!!! Top

Filed under: Celebrity Justice, Exclusive, Movies

1201_ca_ex_doc
You can't legally own the exclusive right to produce a cowboy movie.  And you can't legally own the right to produce an alien movie.  But a comic book writer claims he does own the combo and that's why he's suing the producers of "Cowboys & Aliens."

Steven Busti claims he created the concept for "Cowboys & Aliens" way back in 1994 -- 17 years before the movie was produced.

Busti wrote a comic called "Cowboys and Aliens" that was published in a comic book called, "Bizarre Fantasy."  Busti's story line goes like this ... aliens landed on planet Earth and invaded the Old West.  That's pretty much the same concept for the 2011 movie and the graphic novel published by the film's producers 5 years earlier.  Busti alleges many other similarities as well.

So the question -- Did the producers know about Busti before they penned the graphic novel and the movie?  Well, according to a lawsuit filed today in federal court in Texas, Busti notes back in 1994, his "Cowboys and Aliens" was featured in Comic Shop News on the same page that also featured a story about Scott Mitchell Rosenberg -- who produced the 2011 film.  So there!

1201-cowboys-sub

Busti is suing for copyright infringement and is seeking unspecified damages. Worth noting ... as poorly as it was reviewed, the movie made over $100 million.

So far, no word back from any of the producers.

Oneal Ron Morris -- the faux doctor accused of injecting cement into her plastic surgery patients -- claims all the allegations against her are false, she has no idea why these women would lie ... and she's going to write a book about the whole ordeal.

Three women have come forward, claiming they were injected with cement in their buttocks and face. Morris was arrested, bailed out, and arrested again when a new victim came forward.

Morris says the accusers are ruining her life, and feels she'll prevail in the end.

Judging from her mug shot, she's already done a ton of prevailing in the end.

Spud Webb -- I Was JOKING About Coaching Stripper Basketball Top

Filed under: Spud Webb, TMZ Sports, Exclusive

1201-spud-Ex
Former NBA great Spud Webb is pulling out of stripper basketball -- and, oddly, his rep says the whole head coaching gig was merely an "ill-fated attempt at humor."

In a statement, Spud's rep says ... "Contrary to reports, Spud Webb will not be coaching the Rick's Cabaret/New York Stripper Basketball Team." The rep adds the announcement was taken out of context.

We'll say this ... Spud didn't seem like he was joking when we shot his "announcement" -- at Rick's Cabaret -- with his new strippers team.

The team members tell us, "We sadly accept Spud's resignation, and we wish him the best."

A new coach will be named soon.

Kate Major
Michael Lohan's Achilles' Heel, Kate Major, will NOT be prosecuted for battering a passenger on a Delta flight ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us ... the L.A. City Attorney had a meeting with Kate's lawyer, Trent Copeland, today and prosecutors decided not to file the case.  We're told the City Attorney was impressed that Kate was trying to solve her problem by checking into rehab.  Copeland also made it clear ... Kate was apologetic for her conduct.

As we first reported, Kate was arrested and escorted off a flight from LAX to Tampa after accosting another passenger in first class.  We're told Kate was drunk.

And get this ... Kate was on her way to Tampa, because she had a court date over a restraining order she sought against Michael Lohan for allegedly beating her up.

Dane and Gayheart were reportedly at home at the time, but didn't get hurt. The tree -- which the LA Fire Department says was 50 feet long and weighed 800 lbs. -- also took down power lines ... so the area was sealed off.

Kris Humphries -- I Was Kim Kardashian's Reality Show Pawn Top

Filed under: Kim Kardashian, Kris Humphries, Celebrity Justice, Celebrity Divorce, Exclusive, TMZ Sports, The Kardashians

Kris Humphries and Kim Kardashian arguingSources very close to Kris Humphries tell TMZ ... Kris is gunning for an annulment based on fraud because he feels "he was just slotted in the plot line of Kim Kardashian's latest headline and newest business venture."

We're told Kris believes Kim never intended to stay married to him, but needed a groom to fuel ratings for her show.  One source says, "Once they were finished taping, she just didn't need a groom anymore."

Kris is telling people he feels like a pawn in the game. 

And, we're told, Kris is outraged by people who think he was in on the wedding scam -- according to one friend, "He would have never flown in his childhood pastor to marry them and involve his church."

Finally, Kris feels Kim's own statement that she posted on her blog is a smoking gun ... specifically, "I felt like I was on a fast roller coaster and couldn't get off when now I know I probably should have.  I got caught up in the hoopla and the filming of the TV show."

Bottom line -- the divorce/annulment war is on.

update_bar
Seems Kris has other things on his mind too -- he was spotted yesterday at the airport in Washington, DC with his mother. They were in town to attend a children's health conference ... "Building A Healthier Future Conference." We're told Kris is very active in the cause.

1201_terrell_owens_video_exTerrell Owens has the second most TD receptions in NFL history ... but he's not too big to practice on a crappy field in Studio City, CA -- with a QB who can hardly throw (no, not Donovan McNabb).

T.O.'s still staying in shape because there are rumblings he might join a team -- possibly the Patriots -- for the playoff run.

Watch the video ... dude still looks pretty sharp. Other highlights: people walking dogs in the background, really bad passes, and T.O. chatting up a pretty girl. 

Someone, please sign him soon.

Kim Kardashian -- Placed on Australian Immigration Watch List Top

Kim Kardashian Australian Visa
Australia might become the first Kim Kardashian-free country on Earth ... after their Immigration Department has reportedly put K.K. on a watch list following three separate visa-related incidents. 

Her most recent trip sparked an inquiry, claims the Daily Telegraph, because her visa application says she was a tourist ... when in fact she was there for a heavily-promoted business appearance.

The paper says the trip caused the Department of Immigration to review past trips ... and found she'd done the same thing in 2007 and 2010.

According to the Telegraph, Kim's future visits will be heavily scrutinized. The Immigration Department, while not commenting directly, told the paper, "If people do breach conditions of their visa, then the department can counsel them or cancel that person's visa."
