Prince's record label is through playing around with Jay Z -- it just sued the rapper's company for illegally streaming just about every hit song the late singer ever released.

Prince's NPG Records is suing Roc Nation for overstepping an agreement Prince signed with them before his death. According to the docs, Prince made a deal for Roc Nation to stream -- through Tidal -- the last album he released before his death ... "Hit N Run: Phase 1."

But NPG says Roc Nation decided it also had the greenlight to stream almost all of Prince's catalog, and started doing that on June 7, 2016 ... which would have been his 58th birthday.

NPG says none of that streaming was authorized and it's now suing Roc for copyright infringement, and also to block any continued streaming of his music ... outside of that final album.

They don't mention a specific dollar amount, but the damages would be enormous. According to the docs ... Tidal jacked "I Wanna Be Your Lover," "1999," "Little Red Corvette," "Cream," "Purple Rain," "Controversy," "Pop Life," ... just to skim the surface.

Seriously, the list goes on for more than 3 full pages.

George Hamilton's son, Ashley, just welcomed his first baby, and officially ushered his famous dad into grandfatherhood.

TMZ has learned Ashley and his entertainment lawyer GF, Renee Karalian, had a baby girl via C-section Tuesday afternoon at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. She came in weighing 8 lbs 2 oz. Ashley's mom, Alana Stewart, was at the hospital ... along with 77-year-old George.

It's George's first grandkid, and Alana's second.

Ashley, who's 42, has been married twice before -- to Shannen Doherty and model Angie Everhart -- but never had kids. Check that one off the list.

We're told the baby's arrival will be featured on their upcoming reality series, "The First Family of Hollywood."

Conor McGregor has a message for Floyd Mayweather -- if you wanna talk smack, "SAY IT TO MY FACE!"

We just shot the UFC superstar on the streets of NYC -- where he's still getting all sorts of love from fans -- and told him about the comments Mayweather made about him Monday.

McGregor called full B.S. on Floyd's claim that he didn't watch UFC 205 -- and then Conor straight-up called him out.

Jake Harris was found battered and bloodied on the side of the road after getting tossed from a vehicle ... according to law enforcement.

Cops tell TMZ ... the former "Deadliest Catch" star got in an SUV Saturday night with 2 to 3 other people after leaving a casino in Washington state, but got into a fight and was thrown out of the vehicle.

Sources close to the situation tell us Jake's ID, wallet and cash were stolen before he got 86'd from the car. Cops found him on the side of the road and took him home. Jake decided later to go to a hospital for a head wound, and we're told he's still in ICU.

Cops haven't identified any suspects. Jake's brother, Josh, posted a video about the attack.

Brendan Dassey poses a "serious public safety issue" if he's released from prison and the state of Wisconsin wants him to stay behind bars until a higher court makes a final decision on his conviction.

The state filed an 11th hour motion to block Brendan's release. As we reported, a judge ordered him to be set free because his rights were violated when cops interrogated the then 16-year-old without an adult present.

His conviction, chronicled on the Netflix series "Making a Murderer" ... was overturned back in August.

Joanna Krupa is NOT getting nude for something called "Super Sexy Saturday," but she is going after a Florida strip joint for using her mug and bod to promote the event.

Joanna is suing Pink Pony Tampa, claiming the club slapped her image all over advertisements for the "dance and shower" shows. The former 'Real Housewife' wants off all promos, and she wants to be paid her fair market value for the ads that are already out there.

According to docs ... Joanna says she never agreed to rep the joint, and even IF she chose to jeopardize her career at an "all nude all friction strip club" ... she'd charge an arm and a leg.

Translation: Everyone has their price.

Joanna even got an appraisal on her likeness, and says she can command $100k per photo! Colombian model Lina Posada is also suing the Pink Pony, but says her shots are worth a more reasonable $20k each.

We've reached out to the club, so far no word back.

French Montana hasn't had enough of occupying the same space as Nick Young ... 'cause he strolled into a hot L.A. restaurant Monday night just moments after his girlfriend Iggy Azalea's ex-fiance got there.

Awkward ... or was it?

Like we said, French is dating Iggy, Iggy was engaged to Nick earlier this year. Until, well, you know.

It all went down at Catch in West Hollywood (the current IT spot) where Nick stepped out with his new GF, super hot singer/songwriter Paloma Ford.

We will say this -- when our photog told French that Young was inside, he told us Swaggy is his favorite Laker.

2:15 PM PT -- It looks like the judge agreed with Von ... according to docs, a temporary restraining order was issued.

Von Miller is going on the offensive -- trying to block a woman from releasing a sex tape shot in Cancun ... and claiming she's demanding $2.5 MILLION or else.

The Denver Broncos superstar filed legal docs in L.A. County Superior Court under the pseudonym "Doe" -- but multiple sources confirm "Doe" is Miller.

In fact, he's described in the legal docs as "one of the most talented people at his craft in the U.S. and the world."

In the docs, Miller says he met a woman named Elizabeth Ruiz during a trip to Mexico in June 2016 -- and the two had sex while they were alone indoors.

Miller says the woman recorded the sex on her cell phone -- but he insisted at all times she keep it private. He claims he reached out to her after the trip and asked her to destroy the recording to which she replied, "Gotcha."

Miller claims the woman tried to sell the video to TMZ -- but TMZ shot her down.

That's when the woman gathered a team and tried to sell the video back to Von for $2.5 mil ... Miller claims in the docs. Miller's people also shot down the request and claimed the woman was trying to extort him.

Miller is now asking a judge to block the woman -- who lives in L.A. -- from going public with the tape.

We reached out to Miller's rep multiple times. So far, no word back.

Ed Hartwell says the last place he belongs is behind bars ... because he's paid estranged wife Keshia Knight Pulliam every dime he was ordered to pay.

TMZ broke the story ... Pulliam demanded Hartwell get locked up after claiming he never came through with mandatory support payments. However, according to new docs filed by Ed, he's paid in full.

Keshia also claimed Ed missed a DNA test deadline for her unborn child -- but Ed's story's a little different -- claiming the "deadline" was something Keshia made up. He does not say whether he'll actually take the test though.

Kim Kardashian was right by Blac Chyna's side for her first OB/GYN visit, and it's safe to say it brought the family a little closer.

This video of Kim, Chyna and Rob was shot at a Bev Hills parking structure back on April 26. At the time it seemed weird they'd be grabbing lunch together because Kim and Rob were beefing.

But now we know they'd banded together for a trip to the Kardashians' OB/GYN, Dr. Paul Crane. We broke the story ... Crane delivered little Dream, as well as Kourtney and Kim's kids.

News of Blac Chyna and Rob's pregnancy didn't leak until May 6, so the timing adds up. It means Blac Chyna was about 2 months pregnant at that point, so safe to say the baby brought the family back together.

Rande Gerber is willing to give away the sofas in his Malibu mansion to whoever buys it ... but the topless shots of Cindy Crawford inside aren't up for grabs.

This video tour of the $60 million beachfront pad the couple's selling features gorgeous custom-made furniture ... and an awesome Herb Ritts photo of the supermodel partially nude.

Enjoy the view! The Pacific Ocean just got upstaged.

Dream Kardashian's birth certificate checks out -- she was born on 11/10, Rob's the dad, Blac Chyna's the mom ... and the doctor who delivered the kid has seen multiple Kardashian vaginas!

TMZ has obtained a copy of Dream's birth certificate, which lists Dr. Paul Crane as the delivery doc. It's an encore performance ... he did the same for Kim, Kourtney and even Kris!

We're told Kim and Kris referred Chyna to the man the Kardashian women trust with their lady bits ... and Crane was booked for the birth.

Donald Trump's election is an inspiration to millions of young women ... so believes Kellyanne Conway, who took the helm and guided Trump to victory.

Conway was in Georgetown Monday and was down with our photog's take ... that her involvement may motivate women to get involved in policy if not politics.

Tim Adams, the man attacked says he does not plan to go forward with charges. The suspect's mother informed a local news outlet her son suffers form Asperger Syndrome.

An anti-Donald Trump protest at Ohio State University turned violent in one scary instant when one student attacked another on a flight of stairs.

Several OSU students marched across campus Monday night to protest Trump's Presidency, and ended up at the Student Union. One speaker was addressing the crowd from the stairs when he got tackled from behind, and smashed to the ground ... and then all hell broke loose.

A spokesperson for the university tells us the attacker was arrested for assault. The victim walked away without serious injuries.
