The guitarist from Bad Religion has another bad situation with his ex-wife -- he just got a new restraining order against her.

Greg Hetson was granted the protection from Alia Hetson ... after filing docs saying Alia banged on his front door earlier this month around 3 AM, and yelled for him to come talk to her. She left, but returned an hour later to knock on his bedroom window.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Greg says he completely crushed any hope of them getting back together at the end of November, and insists she's been stalking and harassing him ever since. He also suspects she broke into his place through a doggy door.

The exes have gone back and forth with restraining orders and police visits for years.

For now, she has to stay 100 yards away from Greg.

Meghan Markle could be going in a way different direction than Kate Middleton for her wedding dress ... IF she goes with Israeli designer Inbal Dror.

Dror confirmed Monday she was contacted by the Royal Family about possibly dressing Meghan for the big day with Prince Harry -- and TMZ has obtained the 3 sketches she submitted.

While Kate's Alexander McQueen was more of an a-line gown, Dror's designs are all body-hugging. All 3 include long sleeves -- a tradition for royal brides. See Princess Di, Kate and even Camilla.

Most of Dror's designs go for $8k to $10k, but this is next level. Keep in mind, Kate's dress was reportedly almost $500k. It's not a done deal either -- Dror will certainly be competing with other top designers.

Meghan's got great taste, though -- Dror dressed Beyoncé for the Grammys last year, and she's also fitted Naomi Watts.

Justin Bieber won't have to apologize -- at least not in public legal docs -- for allegedly jacking a vocal loop for his hit single "Sorry."

TMZ broke the story ... Biebs was sued in 2016 by indie pop singer Casey Daniel aka White Hinterland who claimed "Sorry" contained, "unique characteristics of the female vocal riff," similar to her 2014 single, "Ring The Bell."

Looks like Casey and The Biebs figured things out on their own because she filed docs to dismiss the lawsuit.

Mark Salling made good on his plea deal by marching into court Monday and pleading guilty to possession of child pornography involving a prepubescent minor.

Salling was in the L.A. courthouse and, as we expected since he struck the deal in October, pled guilty. Prosecutors say more than 50,000 images of child porn and child erotica were found in the ex-"Glee" star's possession. The victims were ages 3 to 5.

Prosecutors recommended he get 4 to 7 years in prison under the plea deal -- as opposed to the 20 years he was facing under a max sentence. The judge will sentence him in March.

The famous tattoo artist who inks up NBA stars including LeBron James, Tristan Thompson and Danny Green is suing the company behind the NBA2K17 video game ... claiming they used his art without permission.

The man behind the suit is James Hayden -- a famous Cleveland-based tat artist who's been inking up LeBron for years ... and owns the copyrights on several designs he put on the NBA star. Ditto for Tristan, Danny and Kyrie Irving.

In his suit, obtained by TMZ Sports, Hayden claims he owns the copyright to Bron's famous "Gloria" tattoo as well as his "Lion Design" and LJ's shoulder stars.

Problem is ... Hayden says the makers of the video game -- 2K Games Inc. -- created the players in the NBA2K16, '17 and '18 with such detail, they even got the tats right.

The suit reminds us of the time Mike Tyson's tattoo artist -- the guy behind the face tat -- sued the people in "The Hangover 2" for not getting his permission to feature the design in the movie.

Now, Hayden is suing for a portion of the NBA2K franchise profits. He didn't specify a number -- but the game is a huge success, so we're guessing he's gunning for several million bucks!

Donald Trump Jr. crossed the line of decency by posing with a giant cookie frosted with a Barack Obama caricature ... this according to a pissed off Dallas restaurant owner.

Stephan Courseau owns Le Bilboquet, the French eatery where the photo op went down, and he tells TMZ ... he never would have allowed the cookie to see the light of day. He says the frosted image -- attempting to recreate Obama's "Hope" posters -- is laced with racist overtones.

Some critics have said it looks like a "racist minstrel show on a cake of Obama."

Jr. held up the cookie while posing with Ted Cruz, and it drew immediate backlash. Courseau says his regular customers flooded him with calls, asking how he allowed this to happen.

Courseau says he wasn't at the private event, and his manager left shortly before the cookie was brought out. He says he's disgusted and understands customers being angry. He is too.

Don't tell Fetty Wap ya can't mix business with pleasure ... because doing just that put a huge grin on his girlfriend's face.

The rapper surprised his girl, Yaya, Sunday at her Omaj by NoiR clothing line launch party in Ridgefield Park, NJ. The outerwear collection is slated for a spring release but friends and family got a preview along with a $100k surprise from Fetty.

He proudly announced he's sinking that chunk o' change into her biz ... after he performed and walked the runway for her.

"Love & Hip Hop: New York" star Mariahlynn hosted the event, but Fetty definitely stole the show.

The husband of a former contestant on the reality show "Bridalplasty" who was murdered by her lover is suing her estate to get money he says he paid to pay her debts.

Derek Michael Harryman claims he's out $235,622.63 after making repairs to the home he shared with Lisa Marie Naegle as well as paying her tax debts ... this according to new docs obtained by TMZ.

In docs, Derek says he filed a creditor's claim but more than 30 days has passed and he's heard zilch from the estate or its administrator, Danielle Neagle-Kaimoana, whom he's also suing to get the dough.

Johnny Manziel's fiancee, Bre Tiesi, almost had one of her lips torn off by a dog ... but it looks like she's gonna be OK after one of the Kardashians' plastic surgeons worked his magic.

Bre detailed the scary incident on social media -- saying her lip was "legit hanging off" after she tried to break up a canine throwdown involving her two pups.

But the IG model wasn't about to let a random ER doc mess with her kisser ... so she hit up Garth Fisher -- a Beverly Hills surgeon who's worked on Kris Jenner -- and he stitched her up, good as new.

Well, not exactly ... but Bre says she should be scar-free in just a few weeks!

Not like she wouldn't be smokin' hot either way.

Sarah Palin's oldest son allegedly broke into his parents' house and beat his dad bloody until cops showed up and busted him ... TMZ has learned.

According to an affidavit by the arresting officer, Sarah called police in Wasilla, Alaska Saturday saying her son, Track, was "freaking out" and on "some type of medication."

As cops were responding, they got an update that Track had broken through a window at the Palin house and was assaulting his father, Todd. Upon arriving, cops say they found Todd fleeing in a vehicle and bleeding from the face ... with Track still inside.

While trying to subdue him, the officer says Track called the cops "peasants" and told them to drop their guns. Eventually, they arrested him and got the full story.

According to Todd, he and Track got into a heated argument earlier in the night about picking up his son's truck. Todd told Track not to come since he'd been drinking and was on pain meds, but Track came anyway.

Todd told cops that he had armed himself with a pistol and was prepared to "protect his family." That's when Track busted through the window, disarmed his dad and started pounding on his head ... before Todd was able to escape.

Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias are first-time parents -- she gave birth to twins over the weekend ... TMZ has learned, but the real miracle is ... no one had a clue she was pregnant!

Sources in Miami tell us Anna had a boy and a girl Saturday in Miami, and their names are Nicholas and Lucy. The only thing overshadowing the blessed occasion is the fact they kept this whole thing a secret for 9 months.

Fact is ... Anna's been way out of the spotlight for more than a year now. The last photo we can find of the 36-year-old in public is this shot on a boat in Miami ... from November 2016.

This is definitely their M.O. -- the couple's always been super private.

They've been together since 2001, and although there have been marriage rumors for years -- fueled by a HUGE rock on her hand -- neither's ever confirmed it.

Congrats to the fam ... and welcome to MILF-dom, Anna!

Danica Patrick is officially single ... her 5-year relationship with NASCAR driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is over after the guy publicly pumped the brakes when it came to marriage.

How do we know? Because Danica shared her frustration about the relationship situation back in July.

Here's the deal ... 35-year-old Danica had pulled an April Fool's gag on social media claiming one of her rings was an engagement ring.

So, when we saw Danica and Ricky out we asked if there was any movement on the engagement front. She told us Ricky had not proposed but added, "I was ready yesterday."

That day never came ... and now the relationship is over.

One of the guys who successfully pitched the Paint Brush Cover to Mark Cuban and the rest of the "Shark Tank" team got swept up in a cocaine bust this week.

John DePaola was arrested Sunday as part of a massive drug bust in New Jersey in an operation prosecutors are calling Operation Snowball. Law enforcement officials believe DePaola is one of 9 people tied to a cocaine distribution ring.

The group was allegedly moving about one third of a kilo per week. Cops say they confiscated more than 700 grams of coke, and $14,943.

A DJ was killed after high winds took down a massive stage at the Atmosphere Festival Sunday in Brazil.

30-year-old DJ Kaleb Freitas was performing when the stage collapsed. He was rushed to the hospital after suffering a head injury and was reportedly pronounced dead after arrival.

There were about 5,000 people at the festival at the time of the accident, and three others were injured. An investigation has been launched as to why the festival didn't shut down amid severe weather warnings about gale force winds.

XXXTentaction's count of felony charges is now into double digits -- prosecutors added 8 additional, bringing his total to 15, and they're all related to witness tampering ... TMZ has learned.

According to prosecuting documents ... prosecutors believe the alleged witness tampering went down in October 2016 ... when XXX was initially arrested for domestic violence. He's accused of beating his then-pregnant ex-girlfriend.

Law enforcement sources tell us XXX made multiple phone calls while behind bars, which were recorded ... as all prisoner calls are. We're told evidence from those phone calls led to the new charges.

We broke the story ... XXX was sent back to jail last week because the new charges constituted a violation of his bond. Prosecutors believe he tried to coerce the girlfriend into not testifying.

The rapper's being held without bail, and no longer has phone privileges ... judge's orders.

It was 20 years ago today the world lost Chris Farley ... and his BFF, David Spade, says he still misses the comedy legend like crazy.

Farley died on Dec. 18, 1997 after an accidental drug overdose at his apartment in Chicago. His career was on fire following a legendary 5-year run on "Saturday Night Live."

In 1995, he starred alongside Spade in "Tommy Boy" -- which wasn't just a hit in theaters ... it's become a cult classic that's still quoted all the time (#FatGuyInALittleCoat anyone?!).

"20 years ago today," Spade posted on Instagram ... "I miss."
