Blac Chyna got railroaded by the Kardashians' attorneys -- not the K sisters themselves -- in her effort to trademark herself as a member of the fam ... and now Kris Jenner's doing damage control.

Sources close to BC tell TMZ ... Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe reached out to her and assured her their lawyers were following standard ops when they filed docs to block Chyna's application to trademark "Angela Renee Kardashian" -- not singling her out.

The assurances were necessary after the language the lawyers used. We broke the story ... the docs said all 3 sisters would "suffer damage including irreparable injury to their reputation and goodwill" if Chyna got the green light to use the Kardashian name in entertainment.

We're told Kris personally told Chyna there's no beef ... it was a simple mix-up and she's calling off the legal eagles. For now, everyone's saying the right things to make Chyna feel better about the legal diss -- but, fact is, her trademark still hasn't been approved.

The Oakland fire relief effort is flush with Hollywood celebs like Chelsea Handler, NFL coaches and tech companies all sending dough.

We found out Chelsea donated $5,000 Tuesday to an online relief fund. Lena Dunham also pitched in $500. Their donations went to YouCaring -- a crowdfunding site -- which started an account for victims of the tragedy and their families.

Other celeb donors include Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda, who gave $250 ... Nick Zinner from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs gave $250 ... and Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave dropped $5,000 in the bucket.

Art and technology app VSCO is based in the Bay Area and pitched in $7,500.

The fund has raised more than $540,000 as of Thursday, with a goal of $750k.

Courteney Cox, Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow got the band back together and, for some reason, looked kinda sour at the end of the night.

The chick half of the "Friends" did dinner at Craig's in WeHo, and by the looks on their faces ... you'd swear they were discussing foreign policy or national security over the meal. Maybe they just weren't down for cameras -- Lisa couldn't wait to hop in her Porsche as she slipped out the back door.

Then again, every celeb knows photogs are part of the deal at Craig's.

Renee Zellweger had serious issues with her boyfriend's ex-wife trying to pry into her personal life ... so she's desperately trying to get a judge to nip it in the bud.

Renee's boyfriend, rocker Doyle Bramhall, is battling his ex, Susannah Melvoin, over child support. According to docs ... Melvoin wanted Renee's income, living expenses and business deals ... admitted as evidence in the case.

It appears Melvoin wants to paint a picture of what she thinks is Doyle's lavish lifestyle with Renee, but Renee's not having it. She fired back in docs, saying her personal and professional life are separate from her bf's case -- and Melvoin's just trying to force a confrontation in court.

She got it. Renee testified, but mostly about a few gifts she'd bought for Doyle. She didn't seem too pissed outside court, and we're told there were no fireworks ... even though Susannah was there.

Chris Paul is super happy that his friend, Kobe Bryant, just had his 3rd baby girl -- but he has a message for the NBA legend ... "Keep going 'til you get a boy!"

Blen Joseph doesn't play by the traditional rules of pool ... meaning she'll get all up on the table for a shot if she damn well pleases -- but we're cool with that.

The curvaceous model chalked up and knocked some balls around in the billiards room of self-help guru Tai Lopez's pad ... then hit the pool outside too.

Kanye West is back in the public eye -- surfacing exactly where you'd expect him to Thursday in Los Angeles.

The 'Life of Pablo' rapper was spotted at an art installation at the Pacific Design Center ... and he was sporting blonde hair -- a different look from what he had before his hospitalization for a mental breakdown.

Good to see 'Ye getting back into what he loves.

As we first reported ... he's also making music in his home studio.

Judge Reinhold made a super awkward joke with a Miami disc jockey about cocaine, 16-year-old boys and one of the Judge's classic movies ... just hours before his arrest.

Reinhold phoned into the “Paul and Young Ron" show Thursday morning and reprimanded a DJ for letting his kid watch "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."

In Reinhold's defense ... the flick is rated R for some of the best nudity, drug and solo sex scenes ("Doesn't anyone f***ing knock anymore?") in Hollywood history.

Judge might have a good point. Just a curious reference considering what went down shortly after this.

We just got Judge Reinhold's mug shot from his Dallas arrest, and looks like he lost his sense of humor once it came time for booking.

We broke the story ... Detective Rosewood from the "Beverly Hills Cop" movies was busted for disorderly conduct after allegedly making a stink with TSA at Dallas Love Field airport.

He was all smiles on his way into the station.

Things always get more serious when you hear ... "And turn to the left."

Shia LaBeouf knows Soulja Boy doesn't mean it when he says don't come to Atlanta, 'cause Soulja's a sweet kid at heart -- or at least that's what he's assuming.

Paps got the actor-turned-MC out Thursday in Studio City, where they asked what he had to say to Soulja ... who issued an ultimatum in rap's biggest -- meaning, silliest -- beef since Drake vs. Meek Mill.

Judge Reinhold was arrested at Dallas Love Field airport Thursday after allegedly causing a ruckus during an attempted TSA pat down ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the "Beverly Hills Cop" star was being patted down and for unknown reasons was giving TSA agents a hard time. We're told agents offered to search him in a separate room but he refused.

We got video of him in handcuffs at the airport, and you can hear someone give a shout out ... to Reinhold's 'BH Cop' character.

Dallas cops showed up and arrested him for misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

Judge was pretty damn smiley on his way into Dallas County Jail for booking.

Story developing ...

Hillary Clinton is back on the attack ... blaming the Internet, at least in part, for her loss to Donald Trump -- and she's demanding some big changes.

HRC surfaced in D.C. for Sen. Harry Reid's going-away event, but when she got on the mic she went off about "fake news" stories taking over the web. Since her defeat, there's been a lot of talk about websites posting fabricated stories about Clinton and their impact on voters -- not to mention the wave of Wikileaks ... allegedly fueled by Russia.

Songwriters for Justin Bieber, Drake, Shakira and a bunch of other celebs are getting robbed blind by an "illegal cartel" of radio stations ... according to the company trying to shut 'em down.

Global Music Rights is suing virtually the entire radio industry for colluding to drive down the payments to all songwriters ... including those repped by GMR, such as Drizzy and Biebs.

According to the docs ... the Radio Music License Committee negotiates rights for 10,216 radio stations as a whole. GMR says because the RMLC negotiates rights in bulk ... individual artists (who write their own songs) are getting screwed.

Translation: if stations compete against each other to buy rights to the best songs ... the artists will make more dough. #FreeMarket

Daniel Petrocelli, the attorney for GMR, says the "cartel" stays together successfully because it keeps compensation to songwriters low.

Former Senator and astronaut John Glenn -- the first American man to orbit Earth -- died in Ohio Thursday ... surrounded by his family. He was 95.

Glenn was at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center when he passed away. His wife of 73 years, Annie, was reportedly by his side.

Glenn was part of NASA Mercury program and in 1962 he became our first astronaut to orbit the planet aboard the Friendship 7 ... and was hailed as a true American hero for the feat.

He also served in the military during World War II and the Korean War.

He was elected Senator in Ohio in 1974 ... and served until 1999.
