Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Accused of Scaring Fan's Face
(TMZ) A female rap fan says she was permanently scarred by a Bone Thugs-n-Harmony performance ... when one of the rappers flung his microphone right into her face ... this according to a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.

The woman says she was hanging out near the front of the stage at a Bone Thugs show in Missouri in 2010 ... when Layzie Bone began to swing the mic in the air.

According to the suit ... Layzie "lost control of the microphone, launching it into the crowd" and striking the woman right in the head.

The woman claims she suffered bruises, contusions and severe lacerations to her head which left permanent scars. She also claims she became sick, sore, lame and disordered as a result.

Now, the woman is demanding Layzie and the rap group fork over some serious cash to make things right -- more than $25,000.

Calls to Bone Thugs have not been returned. more on this story

Madonna Vs Ricky Gervais At The Golden Globe Awards
(popmusiclife) Madonna stole the headlines from host Ricky Gervais at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards. For starters, Madonna picked up the Best Original Song award for "Masterpiece" from her new film, "W.E."

Then, Gervais poked fun at the pop icon as he introduced her as a presenter, giving the crowd hints that "she's always in Vogue, she's a Material Girl, and she's just 'Like A Virgin,'" before coughing sarcastically.

Madonna was quick to respond when she arrived at the mic, saying "If I'm just like a virgin, Ricky, why don't you come over here and do something about it," before adding, "I haven't kissed a girl in quite a few years, at least not on TV." more on this story

90210 Star Sues Co-Star
(TMZ) Brian Austin Green has declared war on a former "90210" co-star who allegedly screwed him out of $200,000 ... and the accused happens to be the mother of his 9-year-old kid.

B.A.G. has filed a lawsuit against Vanessa Marcil-Giovanazzo -- the chick who played Donna's troublemaking cousin on the show -- claiming he let her BORROW a ton of money back when they were dating ... but she NEVER paid him back.

In the lawsuit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Green claims he fired off check after check after check to Vanessa ... but insisted "the monies were not gifts" and she promised to pay him back.

Green claims in 2000 -- BEFORE he knocked up Vanessa -- he loaned her up to $50,000 at a time ... and in total, lent her more than $200,000.

In the docs, Green says each time he loaned her money, he and Vanessa agreed that she would pay back the money "promptly" whenever he asked for it. Green says he came calling in November 2011 ... but she refuses to fork over the dough.

Green is demanding all of his cash back -- plus additional unspecified damages.

Calls to Vanessa's rep have not been returned. more on this story

Heather Locklear Out Of The Hospital But Family Wants Her in Rehab
(TMZ) Heather Locklear is out of the hospital, but we've learned her family wants her back in -- at UCLA Hospital.

As we first reported, Heather went to rehab last October in her battle with prescription drug addiction ... and it wasn't her first time.

Sources tell us the family wants her in a hospital setting this time around -- not a boutique rehab place -- and UCLA has one of the best facilities in the country.

You may recall, Lindsay Lohan spent time at UCLA's Stewart and Lynn Reskick Neuropsychiatric Hospital in August 2010, but she was released early.

As of Friday, we're told Heather did not want to go to rehab again ... period. more on this story

Kate Major Arrested For Battery and Resisting Arrest
(TMZ) Kate Major -- on-agan/off-again girlfriend of Michael Lohan -- was arrested early Sunday morning in Boca Raton, FL for battery and resisting arrest ... TMZ has learned.

We've learned Major was booked into jail at 3:10 AM. She is being held on charges of battery, battery against an officer, EMT, or firefighter, and resisting an officer with violence.

We don't know if Michael Lohan was involved in this one ... but we do know he's in Florida ... so place your bets. FYI ... there's a permanent restraining order in place prohibiting Michael from being near Kate.

Major was kicked off an airplane back in November and arrested for misdemeanor battery after getting into a scuffle with another passenger. No charges were filed.

She checked out of rehab just last week. more on this story

Beyonce Hospital Suite Nightly Rate Revealed
(TMZ) The lavish hospital executive suite where Beyonce gave birth is a lot cheaper than you think ... at least it's a lot cheaper than we thought.

An official at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC tells TMZ ... there are 7 suites in the VIP section where Beyonce gave birth. Each executive suite costs between $700 and $800 a night.

We're told the suites have "reconfigurable designs." Translation -- the dividing walls are movable so the VIPs can expand into more than one suite.

In Beyonce's case, the official wouldn't be specific, but we're told she had at least 4 suites -- which could explain the 4 flat-screen TVs. So Beyonce probably paid $3,200 a night -- she can afford it.

We're told any patient can use the rooms, provided it satisfies the needs and treatment of the patient.

The official indicated there has been intense interest in the suites, repeatedly telling us patients can book them subject to availability. more on this story

(TMZ) Lindsay Lohan goes before Judge Stephanie Sautner tomorrow for her second probation progress report and she will once again pass with flying colors ... but this time it came down to the wire ... sources tell TMZ.

As the judge dictated back in November, Lindsay was required to complete 12 morgue visits and 4 psychotherapy sessions by Tuesday's court hearing. Sources close to Lindsay tell us she's done just that ... but she completed the last 2 morgue visits on Friday and Saturday.

According to our sources, Lindsay has been a model morgue employee. Translation -- She gets the job done with no drama and she's friendly with the staff.

After tomorrow's hearing Lindsay will be at the halfway mark of her probation. She has another hearing February 15, where she'll have to show proof she completed another 12 morgue visits and 4 therapy classes. And on March 29 -- her final hearing -- she must show she's completed the remaining 17 morgue visits and 6 therapy classes.

Should Lindsay slip up at any point, she gets 270 days behind bars. more on this story

Bob Marley's Brother Fights Back Against Trademark Suit
(TMZ) Bob Marley would be totally irie, mon ... with his half-bro making huge money off Bob's name and likeness -- at least according to the brother's new lawsuit against Bob's estate.

Bob's widow and several of his children sued Richard Booker for trademark infringement last month ... claiming Booker was selling everything under the sun -- food, booze, concerts, and more -- by slapping the Marley name on the products.

Now, Booker -- who had the same mother as the late reggae superstar -- filed a countersuit against 56 Hope Road Music ... the company controlling Bob's estate.

In the documents, Booker says he's using the family name "with the consent, authorization and by the instruction" ... of Bob and their mom, Cedella.

Booker wants the court to throw out the estate's lawsuit against him -- and give him the all-clear on continued use of the Marley name. more on this story

Storage War Over Late Grease Star Jeff Conaway's Stuff
(TMZ) "Grease" star Jeff Conaway's been dead 8 months -- but TMZ has learned, there's a three-way war brewing over the stuff he left behind ... and right now, there's no clear winner.

Jeff's estranged wife filed legal docs in L.A. County Superior Court -- claiming she's the rightful heir to a bunch of stuff Jeff had squirreled away in an L.A. storage facility ... and she wants access to it, stat.

But the facility is refusing to let her in -- because according to legal correspondence filed with the court, Jeff's old girlfriend is ALSO vying for all the stuff inside the storage units ... citing a "living trust."

A rep for the storage facility tells TMZ, it's caught in the middle of a feud between an estranged wife and an ex-girlfriend. Since the facility doesn't know who is the rightful owner, it's refusing access to ANYONE ... until it gets the official word from the court.

Meanwhile, the storage company tells us, it has placed a lien on Jeff's estate -- for a total value of $3,600 -- claiming a storage payment hasn't been made since July, 2011.

So far, the judge hasn't made a decision. more on this story

Serious Pimp Vs Jersey Shore's Situation
(TMZ) Serious Pimp apparel claims The Situation defrauded the company out of tens of thousands of bucks.

TMZ has learned ... Serious Pimp is slapping The Sitch with a lawsuit today, claiming the "Jersey Shore" star made a deal with the company -- he would get a $25,000 advance in return for promoting a line of t-shirts on the show, Facebook, Twitter and various other places.

According to the lawsuit, The Sitch and his brother had the right to approve the t-shirt designs, but they never said yay or nay. They simply disappeared -- allegedly -- and never returned the dough.

Serious Pimp planned on co-partnering with The Situation, hoping to make a bundle on the shirts, so they claim the greasy defendant should not only return the advance, the company wants lost profits as well.

BTW ... Snoop Dogg endorses some of Serious Pimps' products.

The Situation's rep could not immediately be reached for comment. more on this story

Mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger Love Child Officially Divorced
(TMZ) Arnold Schwarzenegger's baby mama, Mildred Patty Banea, is officially a single woman ... nearly four years after she filed for divorce from her husband ... TMZ has learned.

Baena's divorce made the news shortly after it was revealed she had the Governator's love child because her divorce docs stated she and her husband had no minor children.

Baena originally filed for divorce in February 2008, seeking nothing in support. Finally, on January 3, she filed for a default judgement ... and it was granted that day.

Arnold, of course, is in the middle of his divorce from Maria Shriver. But as TMZ first reported, Shriver has been having second thoughts on pulling the plug and Arnold has recently been spotted wearing his wedding ring. more on this story
