Nirvana's famous smiley face design was stolen by clothing brand Marc Jacobs ... so says the band in a new lawsuit.

The docs claim, in November 2018, MJ announced the release of its "Bootleg Redux Grunge" collection. Included in the collection were socks, shirts and sweaters. The MJ line featured a squiggly yellow smiley face.

Problem is, Nirvana has owned the trademark to a very similar smiley face design since 1992 ... and says "Bootleg Redux Grunge" is a blatant ripoff of the design.

The lawsuit also claims Nirvana as one of the founders of the "Grunge" music scene ... so even the Marc Jacobs' line name was hatched thanks to the band.

Usher has officially filed from divorce from his estranged wife, Grace Miguel, who he publicly split with earlier this year.

The "Let it Burn" singer filed docs -- obtained by TMZ -- in Atlanta Friday to call it quits on the marriage. The move is anything but surprising ... it was back in March -- on the heels of several allegations and lawsuits claiming Usher spread herpes -- the couple announced things were over.

The docs state December 24, 2017 as the couple's date of separation. They also say the two reached a confidential settlement agreement ... so it's all finished and just waiting on a judge to sign off.

In a joint statement, Usher and Grace said, "After much thought and consideration we have mutually decided to separate as a couple. We remain deeply connected, loving friends who will continue supporting each other through the next phases of our lives."

The two got hitched back in 2015 and did not have any children together.

2:09 PM PT -- According to the police report -- obtained by TMZ -- PP was spotted weaving in and out of traffic in an SUV at a speed estimated to be over 100 MPH. Cops say they pulled him over and ordered PP out of the vehicle and cuffed him ... he then stated his name was Pleasure P from Pretty Ricky.

Cops say PP reeked like booze, and it was so bad, they had to roll down the windows of the police car to air it out. The report says the singer was given a breath test once back at the station -- where he blew a .176 and then a .175 -- more than twice the legal limit.

And, get this -- cops say while he was getting booked, PP asked to call Shaq and the rapper Flo Rida -- a request that was denied.

Pleasure P -- a member of the R&B group Pretty Ricky -- joked about telling the devil to go back to hell 'cause he had some birthday celebrating to do ... and hours later he was busted for DUI.

Pleasure P, who turned 34, was busted in Miami Friday morning and booked for DUI, driving with a suspended license, reckless driving and resisting an officer. Pleasure P -- who left the group in 2007 for a solo career -- was released after posting bail.

It's interesting ... Pleasure P posted a video on Instagram to thank his more than 325k followers for the birthday wishes. He captioned it, "My birthday started off a little slow which is why I haven't been posting the devil was trying to work, but I told his ass to go back to hell because I got some celebrating to do."

Oops.

Selena Gomez is continuing on her road to wellness ... with a positive New Year's message emblazoned on her sweatshirt.

The singer was spotted with a friend Friday leaving Hot Pilates in West Hollywood in a comfy all-black outfit ... including a sweatshirt with the words, "Choose Empathy."

Selena's been a model of healthy living this month after leaving treatment for her mental health ... we've seen her hitting the slopes and going on nature hikes.

We broke the story ... Gomez checked into a facility a couple months ago following what we were told was an emotional breakdown. Sources close to her told us she's happy and healthy now.

Gavin Rossdale's loss is clearly Loris Karius' gain ... 'cause the star goalkeeper had no problems being Sophia Thomalla's rebound in Miami on Friday!!!

The German model -- sporting a tiny green bikini and a pair of Daisy Dukes -- paraded around South Beach with the soccer superstar ... leaning in for kisses and cuddles.

It's interesting ... 'cause Thomalla and Rossdale were just seen out together in Los Angeles a few weeks ago -- but looks like the smokin' hot model is moving on.

As for Karius -- he's been known for dating PLENTY of attractive women -- and doesn't seem to mind one bit that Sophia's so fresh off a breakup.

BTW ... this ain't anything new for Rossdale -- Gwen Stefani got with Blake Shelton shortly after officially breaking everything off with him.

Tekashi 6ix9ine has a plan to get out of jail ... it involves a whole lot of money and convincing the judge he'll be a good boy when he's back on the streets.

The rapper's lawyer, Lance Lazarro, tells TMZ ... he's putting a bail package together for the rapper in hopes of getting him sprung from the federal prison facility where he's being held, so he can enjoy some freedom until his trial begins in September.

We're told the plan is to ask the court to set 69's bail at $1.5 million, and Lazarro will also make the case that Tekashi's not a danger to the community ... nor is he a flight risk.

6ix9ine's lawyer says he wants to file the motion before his next scheduled court appearance in late January. If the judge rules in his favor and grants bail, the rapper can await trial from the comfort of his own home once he posts the $1.5 mil.

As we reported ... prosecutors have pics and videos linking Tekashi and his crew to at least 3 armed robberies and/or shootings in Brooklyn earlier this year.

And, despite the mounting evidence in his racketeering case, Lazarro's made it clear 69 has no interest in taking a plea deal if one is offered.

Omarion didn't leave his sense of humor in the Year 2000 ... he's telling us his social media post about blocking people 18 and under at the door of the upcoming B2K concerts was one big joke.

Omarion was on "TMZ Live" Friday and confessed his Instagram post outlining exactly who and what was acceptable at next year's B2K reunion tour shouldn't be taken seriously. He's inviting everyone to the throwback shows, no strings attached.

But, if you still feel like digging through your closet and busting out your best gear from the 2000s, he's hoping to see tons of do-rags, Air Force 1s and oversize tees in the crowd!

This video is amazing!!!

Kyrie Irving hooked up a homeless fan with more than $240 IN CASH before playing the Rockets in Houston on Thursday -- and the reaction is INCREDIBLE!!!

The guy who shot the video, Thomas Moreno, tells us ... the Boston Celtics superstar was walking to the team bus when he was approached by a man who was telling people he was destitute.

Kyrie stopped and chatted with the guy ... and then, the big moment happened -- Irving reaches into his pocket, pulls out the cash and hands it right to his new friend.

BOOM!!!!

The guy was so happy, he literally jumped for joy and started hugging random people! He also chased after Kyrie to thank him for the generous gift.

We reached out to Kyrie and the Boston Celtics for comment -- but so far, haven't heard anything.

But, the video basically speaks for itself.

Ariana Grande has bailed on her New Year's Eve weekend concert due to illness ... TMZ has learned.

Ariana was set to headline at the Cosmopolitan hotel Saturday night, but moments ago we learned the plug has been pulled.

Sources connected to Ariana tells us the singer has been sick all week and wasn't getting better. We're told she has bronchitis.

The show was to be held at The Chelsea -- a 3,200 seat venue inside the casino -- and some resale tickets were well over $1,000 a pop. Vegas is a hot spot for big time performers during the holiday.

We're told Ariana will reschedule at a later date.

This caps off a rough year for Ariana ... most recently her difficult breakup with ex-fiance Pete Davidson.

WWE superstar Becky Lynch is already dreaming of "WrestleMania" dominance -- telling us she's dying to "slap the head off Ronda Rousey."

Lynch was supposed to battle Rousey at "Survivor Series" back in November -- but she suffered a serious injury to her face and was pulled from the match.

But, Lynch says she still has a sense of "unfinished business" with Rousey ... and wants to settle things once and for all on April 7 at MetLife Stadium.

Despite the rivalry, Lynch praised Rousey for all that she's done for women's pro wrestling, women's judo and women's MMA ... but warns that she "just hasn't faced a real test yet!"

Meanwhile, Lynch is training her ass off -- recently hitting up Conor McGregor's famous training center in Ireland, the Straight Blast Gym ... where she worked out with Conor's trainer, John Kavanagh.

"John Kavanagh put me through the ringer," Lynch said ... "It was great."

McGregor has raved about Lynch -- praising his fellow Irish superstar publicly and telling her to call "any time you need backup."

So, will the two connect and beat some ass as the greatest Irish tag team ever? Don't rule it out ...

12:30 PM PT -- According to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Michael and Jennifer want joint physical and legal custody of their 16-year-old daughter. It appears they'll work out dividing their assets privately including a couple vehicles and several bank accounts.

8:38 AM PT -- Michael tells us the decision to split with Jennifer was an amicable one and they went to court to file the docs together. They've been in the process of splitting amicably since June 2017 but that was delayed when production on "Roseanne" abruptly stopped.

Michael Fishman, famous for playing Roseanne Barr's TV son, is on the road to ending his marriage with wife Jennifer Briner after more than 19 years of matrimony.

Jennifer filed docs Thursday for legal separation. The couple tied the knot in 1999, when Michael was a teenager, and have two children together. It's unknown what led to the split.

Michael played D.J. Conner as a child actor on "Roseanne" from 1988-97, and reprised the role for this year's reboot.

We got him back in October outside NBC Studios in NYC where we asked him about Barr's departure from the show, and he called continuing the program without her "bittersweet."

As you know, Roseanne's character was killed off the show by an opioid overdose during the season premiere. Ratings for the reboot's second premiere were significantly less than the first ... (10.8 million vs. 18.2 million).

Kanye West gave Kim Kardashian a $14 MILLION Xmas present.

Kanye made a deal to buy a mega-unit in a super, super exclusive Miami Beach condo building, dubbed "Billionaire Beach Bunker" ... TMZ has confirmed.

The 18-story building is occupied by hedge fund gazillionaires and ridiculously rich land developers.

We're told Kanye scoped the place out on his own while in town for Art Basel, and Kim had never even seen it. Kanye has fairly deep ties to the city. He's a regular at the Basel. Kim also did a show there ... "Kourtney & Kim Take Miami."

Our sources say Kanye secretly made the offer this month and surprised Kim on Xmas day.

The unit sounds awesome. It's 4,700 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths and an insanely large terrace. The building is tricked out with a gym, pool and spa.

Obviously, it's right on the beach.

They actually got a deal ... sort of. It was originally listed at $15.5 million.

Page Six first confirmed the story. The deal is set to close next month.

Barack Obama had a busy year -- especially when it comes to entertaining himself -- because he's got a looooong list of his favorite songs, movies and books.

The former Prez just shared 3 year-end lists of his 2018 faves, including 22 songs (and a jazz album) that feature tracks by J. Cole, Janelle Monae, Cardi B and 2 from Jay-Z -- "Wow Freestyle" feat. Kendrick Lamar and "Apes**t" ... which obviously features Beyonce.

Noticeably absent from his tracklist -- Kanye West.

Barack also shares his top 15 movies of the year -- which range from blockbuster hits like "Black Panther" to critical darlings like "Eighth Grade" and early Oscar buzz films like "If Beale Street Could Talk." He also lists the Mr. Rogers documentary, "Won't You Be My Neighbor?"

But, the standout on his trio of favorite lists is in his book roundup, for which he breaks his alphabetical format to list his wife Michelle's book, "Becoming," numero uno ... and includes the note, "obviously my favorite!"

Another notable book is Nelson Mandela's "Long Walk to Freedom" ... but there are so many more, including several he says appeared on earlier lists.

Seriously, how does the guy find the time?

Grover may have taken his "blue" schtick a little too far -- because it sounds like the muppet may have dropped an f-bomb on "Sesame Street."

... or maybe he didn't.

IT'S LIKE THE BLUE OR WHITE DRESS DEBATE FOR YOUR EARS!!

Here's the deal, Grover was talking with another muppet about cameras during a recent episode ... when he made a very excited comment.

Some people think he said, "Move the camera, yes, yes, that sounds like an excellent idea."

Others think he said, "Yes, yes, that’s a f*cking excellent idea."

So, is Grover's mouth dirtier than Oscar the Grouch's trash can? Or are people with dirty minds just hearing what they WANT to hear, instead of what Grover actually said?

It's just like the "Yanny" vs. "Laurel" debate all over again ... except this time puppets and kids are involved.

And, the winner of Miss Africa 2018 is ... whoever saved her from major scalp injuries!!!

Miss Congo, Dorcas Kasinde, won the African beauty pageant hosted by the Cross River State Government Friday, but immediately after she was crowned ... her hair went up in flames.

It appears the people onstage waving around celebratory sparklers to honor Miss Congo were responsible for setting her hair ablaze, but it seems like they noticed right away ... and hopefully the fire did her no harm.

Kasinde reportedly beat out Nigeria’s Chiamaka Nnaemeka and Zambia’s Gladys Kayumba to take home the crown, and was awarded with $35k and a sport utility vehicle.
