Snapchat is about to learn the age-old lesson of an eye for an eye ... through a lawsuit.

Eyebobs -- a company that's been selling glasses since 2001 -- just filed suit against the social media giant, accusing it of ripping out off their eyeball ... logo, that is.

Eyebobs claims Snapchat started using a similar eyeball image this year to promote its new Spectacles -- which are all the rage right now -- saying it's a bullseye knockoff.

Eyebobs wants a judge to rip the eye off Snapchat's Spectacles and force 'em to fork over some loot.

Kim, Kanye, and North West put some culture in their Christmas Friday, with a real nutcracker.

The West crew made a stealth entrance at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center ... slinking into their seats just before the curtain opened for the XMAS classic, "The Nutcracker."

Kourtney and Penelope joined them in the back row.

This is interesting ... there was no entourage or visible security detail. Kim wore no jewelry and little makeup.

They had a good time for sure. North bounced on Kim's lap and danced along to the music.

Spoiler: The Mouse King dies.

Vin Diesel may not have crossed the line with the Brazilian reporter over whom he salivated, because she seemed down with it.

Vin's chitchat with Carol Moreira seemed super creepy at first blush ... but check out the video we got afterward -- she seems smitten with him.

We're told she even asked him for a picture.

She has said she was offended during the interview but you don't get that from the new video.

Someone who was around Vin during the interview tells us he was a little punch drunk after spending a full day doing sit-downs with reporters.

Joey Boots' body was found by another Howard Stern 'Wack Packer' during a live podcast ... and the audio is heartbreaking.

TMZ broke the story ... High Pitch Erik was sent to Joey's apartment after he no-showed for his podcast. When Joey didn't answer the door, Erik got the building manager to check on Boots, and found him dead in a chair.

You can hear Erik's voice quivering when he asks for the show to go off the air just after the discovery.

Celebs have "people" to do lots of stuff for them ... but lots of them become normies the day before XMAS, scrambling to beat the deadline.

We got Sly, Kate Beckinsale, Jason Mewes and lots others at The Grove and the streets of Bev Hils. They even braved crappy weather as they lugged their bags around.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna's massive fight ending with Chyna storming out of the house with Dream wasn't drummed up for their show ... in fact, we've learned cameras weren't even rolling when it went down.

Production sources say film crews weren't at Rob's place last Saturday morning when Chyna allegedly got physical with her baby daddy. We're told things were so bad, Corey Gamble had to rip Chyna off of Rob and even called Rob's sisters over ... but Chyna took off before they arrived.

Our sources say reaction interviews were filmed shortly after the fight, but the brawl itself was the real deal.

For what it's worth, we're told the two got back together just a few days after Chyna left and are co-parenting Dream.

Baby Bash copped to a bonehead move that got him and Paul Wall arrested on drug felony charges Friday ... but says Lone Star cops need to chill a bit.

BB tells us it was just a marijuana party, but then dropped some highly relevant info ... dabs were on the menu at the party. Dabs are a concentrated dose of cannabis made by extracting THC, and that takes you into felony territory.

Jennifer Lopez and Drake are sharing tongue these days ...

Jennifer rocked new custom Timberland boots during late Christmas shopping in Bev Hills ... with her famous moniker taking up prime real estate.

It's interesting she's decided to wear them only days after we reported J Lo and Drake -- a noted Timberland fanatic -- have been spending quality time together.

Ivanka Trump kept her cool this week on JetBlue, while Rob and Blac Chyna did not keep their cool at all. So we gotta ask ...

Stanley Panther says he was BETRAYED by his own NHL team -- claiming he was unfairly fired as the team mascot after a serious bout with depression because the honchos didn't like his attitude.

Joey Boots -- one of Howard Stern's best known 'Wack Packers' -- has died in NYC ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for the NYPD tells TMZ cops responded to Boots' Bronx apartment building at 9:45 PM for a male in need of medical attention.

We're told once emergency workers arrived, Boots was pronounced DOA.

Cops tell us cause of death will be determined by the medical examiner.

Fellow Wack Packer, High Pitch Erik, went to check on Boots after his podcast co-hosts became worried that he didn't show up for his regular gig.

According to a Facebook post from people associated witih the podcast, Boots didn't answer the door, so Erik got the building manager to do a wellness check and found Joey, "sitting in a chair, cold to the touch and with no pulse."

Joey Boots was a fan favorite on the Stern show ... best known for screaming "Baba Booey" during news broadcasts. He even successfully defended his right to yell the catch phrase in a landmark court case.

Hillary's emails got nothing on a political scandal rocking the state of New Mexico ... and it's fitting a "Breaking Bad" star's at the center of it.

Steven Michael Quezada, who played Agent Gomez on the hit show set in N.M., got sued by Patricia Paiz, whom he just defeated for County Commissioner of Bernalillo County's District 2.

Paiz claims Quezada's wife filled out his election documents, which is a violation of campaign laws. What's more, Paiz says Quezada was not even in New Mexico the day the docs were filed, which she says is required under state law.

Quezada is callng BS ... firing back with these photos he says prove he was indeed at the County Clerk's office the day in question.

Short story ... Paiz wants the County Commissioner to rule Quezada was not eligible to run and therefore he can't be elected, which would give her the win by default.

Quezada points to the fact that he kicked her ass ... 62% to 38%.

'SNL' star Pete Davidson is sticking to his guns in his beef with the NFL's weed policy ... saying the league suspending a player for using marijuana to deal with his Crohn's disease is "terrible."

The player Davidson's talking about is Buffalo Bills lineman Seantrel Henderson ... who was hit with a 10 game ban after a 2nd violation of the league's substance abuse policy earlier this year.

Henderson suffers from Crohn's -- a painful, chronic, disease of the digestive tract -- and has argued that he needs pot to manage the pain associated with the condition.
