Lindsay Lohan is getting by with a little help from her friends ... and a yacht captain doesn't hurt either when you're dealing with a broken engagement.

Lindsay popped up on board a boat in Sardinia, Italy on Tuesday, clearly looking to put some space between herself and fiance Egor Tarabasov. As we've reported, she fled London after the weekend blow up where she accused Egor of strangling her -- and police responded to their apartment.

LiLo admitted she made a mistake when she exposed the fight -- she called it "private matters" -- by blasting it all over social media. She says she's now taking time for herself ... all while staying in touch with her 7 million followers.

The folks at Japan's Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park have a message for "Pokemon Go" -- have some damn respect.

The memorial sits right where the first nuclear bomb was dropped on a city, and officials are pissed it's currently a "Pokestop." Park organizers want the game's developer, Niantic Inc., to remove the landmark from the game by Aug. 6 -- the anniversary of the 1945 atomic bombing.

The site's become a go-to spot since the game's release in Japan last week. Niantic -- an American software company -- does have a form to request exclusions, but it makes no guarantees.

Games apparently don't respect the dead.

Hillary Clinton made her own dramatic entrance -- via satellite -- at the DNC Tuesday night as she officially became the first woman nominated to run for President of the United States.

Hillary popped up in the jumbotron following a montage of all the previous Presidents -- and the crowd went wild during an awkwardly long 45 seconds of staring at Mrs. Clinton's face in the screen.

"1984"-ish moment aside ... she had a few poignant remarks about the historic moment, and attempted to inspire young women around the country.

Also memorable ... Meryl Streep's intro to a video package earlier in the evening. Somewhere Howard Dean is texting, "LMAO."

Lindsay Lohan's got more than fiancé trouble ... a filmmaker is going after her for the $10,000 he claims he gave her without getting a damn thing in return.

Matt Martin made a movie called "Little Mermaid," not the Disney one, and approached a Lindsay associate about having her pump the flick to her nearly 5 million Instagram followers.

Matt says in the legal letter, obtained by TMZ, he struck a deal with Yossi Bechor back in October after learning he often arranged deals on Lindsay's behalf. He says the deal was $10k and executive producer credit ... for LiLo to post 3 promos for his film, but 3 months rolled by without a peep.

Martin says he's reached out to team Lindsay and Yossi several times to no avail. So now he's demanding he get the dough back, or he'll sue.

We reached out to Lindsay and Yossi, so far no word back.

Lydia Hearst's bachelorette party was a perfect fit for her last name -- no cheesy Vegas strip club, instead her turn up went down inside historic Hearst Castle.

Sources close to Lydia -- who's engaged to TV host Chris Hardwick -- say she took 18 friends to the San Simeon, CA landmark built by her great-grandfather ... newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst.

Her guests included Cara Santana, Michelle Trachtenberg, Clare Grant (Seth Green's wife) and actress Jillian Murray. The ladies were treated to a 2-hour VIP tour ... complete with a swim session in the famed indoor Roman pool (usually off limits). The floaties were pre-approved.

We're told private events at Hearst Castle typically cost up to $22,000 ... but with the family discount Lydia's tab came to $0.00.

Perks of royalty.

Johnny Depp believes he can't get a fair shake in his courtroom showdown with Amber Heard until his lawyers grill her in a deposition -- and if that doesn't happen it could cost him dearly.

Depp's team was in court Tuesday for an emergency hearing to settle critical issues in the case. His side says Johnny has every right to confront Amber over her "meritless" accusations of domestic violence.

In docs, Depp says if he can't depose her he'll be behind the 8 ball in his effort to defend himself, and could lose the case. And there's this -- he's worried a loss could affect him emotionally and financially. He points out a permanent restraining order would appear on future credit checks.

Yes, even with an estimated net worth of $400 mil ... he's worried about credit.

As we reported ... Amber's depo has been delayed because they couldn't agree on a date, but the judge settled the matter. It's now scheduled for August 6 -- a Saturday.

Being a Blood or a Crip is now a legitimate qualification for employment, because a new show is actively seeking real-life bangers who want to be TV stars.

Central Casting is staffing up for the upcoming CBS adaptation of the movie "Training Day." Specifically, they're looking for "gang member types" of actors to portray members of L.A. area street gangs during a Wednesday shoot.

CC would not elaborate on what it considers "gang member types."

The call out makes it clear that experience is not a prerequisite -- we're assuming they're referring to acting experience. Welcome to L.A. ... where anyone can be discovered.

Jay Mohr was serious about sticking with Nikki Cox ... even though he filed divorce docs, he now wants to drop the whole thing.

Jay filed a request for dismissal Monday in L.A. -- just 6 days after the divorce petition. As we reported ... Jay told us last week he and Nikki are "Very in love. Very happy and that's really all there is."

It was clear they were trying to work things out, and a source close to the couple tells us there was a "full reconciliation" over the weekend.

The dismissal also covers Jay's emergency petition to get full physical custody of their 5-year-old son.

No, Chrissy Teigen is not on vacation in Hawaii, but she's definitely hanging loose with John Legend ... and 3-month-old baby Luna.

The ridiculously gorgeous fam is chilling on a yacht off St. Tropez ... like a ton of other celebs this week. We're guessing Luna and John are big fans of mama Teigen's outfit.

Mom boobs -- they're not just for kids.

Brock Lesnar will NOT be disciplined by the WWE for his UFC 200 drug test failures ... and WILL perform at SummerSlam as planned ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Conrad Murray still insists he didn't have a hand in Michael Jackson's death -- despite his guilty conviction and 2 years in jail -- and even believes he wasn't the worst doctor in MJ's life.

Murray was on "TMZ Live" to talk about the new book he wrote about Michael, who was his patient and friend. But Murray claims Jackson concealed details about other drugs he was on -- besides the Propofol administered by Murray.

Watch the clip ... Murray refused to own up to having any role in Michael's homicide -- instead he backed up the bus over the late Dr. Arnold Klein.

By the way, Murray's claims about getting railroaded by the coroner and Propofol not being in Michael's system? Read the report ... he's got it wrong.

You can see the rest of the interview on Tuesday's "TMZ Live."

Russell Taylor -- the ex-CEO of Jared Fogle's charity -- claims the secret cameras he installed in his home weren't meant to record child porn.

Taylor, who is serving a 27-year sentence for child porn and child exploitation, is responding to a lawsuit filed by one of his alleged victims who claims he knowingly recorded child porn and shared the material with Fogle.

In his handwritten doc, obtained by TMZ, Taylor says, "This was not the purpose I set the cameras up for." But on the claim he shared the footage with Fogle -- he pleads the 5th.

He also says he's broke and doesn't have a lawyer ... hence the handwritten response.

TMZ Sports has obtained insane footage of ex-NFL quarterback Marcus Vick -- Michael Vick's brother -- literally running from cops during an incident back in April ... before being captured at gunpoint.

Atlantic Records wants the identity of the person who leaked a song off the "Suicide Squad" soundtrack, and it's demanding Reddit help find the culprit.

In docs, Atlantic says it sent a few digital copies of the Twenty One Pilots track "Heathens" to a tight-knit group ... roughly a week before it was scheduled to drop to the public.

The recipients included the band and several label execs, but the following day the track surfaced online. Atlantic says someone uploaded it to Dropfile.io, then shared the link on Reddit.

Atlantic says it was ultimately forced to release the song later the next day, and therefore lost revenue since the planned marketing campaign was still a week away.

They want the court to issue a subpeona to Reddit to identify the users who posted the track.
