These swingin' stars are a little too tied up to have a worry this summer. Take a page out of their book, and let this gallery of babes on hammocks rope you into just hanging out this weekend.

Prince's family is going after the doctor who prescribed pain pills for him, claiming he failed to properly treat him for opioid addiction so he's to blame for his death ... according to a new suit.

The family claims Dr. Michael Schulenberg last treated Prince on April 20, but failed to appropriately diagnose and treat the rocker's addiction ... which ultimately led to his fatal fentanyl overdose on April 21.

According to the docs ... the doctor's failure played a substantial part in Prince's death.

As you'll recall ... the family already sued the hospital that treated Prince's first opioid overdose, along with the Walgreens for dispensing narcotic prescription medications to him for an invalid medical purpose and failing to make sure he was using the drug properly.

This new suit also includes that hospital and Walgreens, along with Schulenberg. TMZ broke several stories about Prince getting various prescriptions filled from a Walgreens near his home in the days before he died. We posted a pic of Prince pacing the night before his OD -- looking frail and nervous -- as a member of his team got his Rx.

Surveillance video shows Prince visiting Dr. Schulenberg's office the day before he died.

The ex-boyfriend of "Floribama shore" star Kortni Gilson blew off a judge who ordered him to stay clear of her and started sending her creepy messages ... and that just landed him in jail.

Logan Fairbanks has had a hard time letting go ... and that's a ridiculous understatement. He threatened to cut Gilson into pieces and even showed up at a bar she was at with a knife ... this according to the police report.

Gilson already had a restraining order on him, so she could have had police lock him up right then and there, but for some reason she didn't.

Gilson breathed a sigh of relief in April when Fairbanks went radio silent on her, but the silence was broken in June when he reappeared. He started sending her text messages, including ...

"I still love you it's never gonna change, bye for now baby momma." He went on to text he didn't care if he went jail.

That was enough because Gilson gladly obliged, called the cops and informed them he had violated the restraining order. Problem was ... cops couldn't find him.

Fast forward to Wednesday ... police located Fairbanks and arrested him for aggravated stalking, stalking and violating the restraining order.

Former NFL QB Erik Kramer wants to erase his marriage from the books ... claiming his 2015 failed suicide attempt left him with a lack of mental capacity to legally consent to marriage.

According to new legal docs ... Kramer says his wife, Courtney Baird, stole $50k of his money before they wed, and she's now filed for divorce.

He says before they got married, Baird "exerted undue influence upon me to convince me, given my weakened mental state, that her actions were not wrongful."

Now, Kramer claims his 2017 marriage -- which lasted less than a year and a half -- never should have happened in the first place ... because he suffered a traumatic brain injury when he shot himself in 2015.

Kramer was reportedly suffering from depression, which some believed was triggered by head injuries during his playing days, when he attempted to kill himself.

Kramer maintained he was not diagnosed with any concussions during his NFL career, and did not link his suicide attempt to CTE. Nevertheless, he says he has still not recovered from the brain injury from the suicide attempt so when he said "I do," it was without the necessary mental capacity to seal the deal.

Baird want the divorce judge to divvy up their earnings and also wants him to pay spousal support. She'd get neither if the marriage is annulled.

We broke the story ... Kramer's wife filed for divorce in June on the heels of his arrest for domestic assault. She also got a domestic violence restraining order.

Urban Meyer says he flubbed his news conference following the announcement of his three-game suspension Wednesday ... and is now trying to make up for it by apologizing to Courtney Smith.

"Let me say here and now what I should have said on Wednesday," the coach tweeted.

"I sincerely apologize to Courtney Smith and her children for what they have gone through."

As we previously reported ... Meyer was hit with a three-game ban after university officials say he "failed to take sufficient management action" when it came to the handling of assistant coach Zach Smith and his alleged domestic violence toward Courtney.

Meyer caught serious heat when discussing the suspension with reporters ... mostly for the crass tone he took when he was asked if he had a message for Courtney.

Now ... Meyer is realizing he messed up, saying he should have handled that question -- and the entire Zach Smith situation -- differently.

"My words and demeanor on Wednesday did not show how seriously I take relationship violence. I sincerely apologize. I was taught at a very young age that if I ever hit a woman, I would be kicked out of the house and never welcomed back."

"I have the same rule in my house and in the Football Program at Ohio State. Over the years, we have worked hard to educate and remind our coaches and players of the seriousness of relationship violence."

Meyer added, "I understand my lack of more action in this situation has raised concerns about this commitment. I once again apologize for this, and I extend my empathy to all women, men and families who are affected by relationship violence."

Faizon Love was a sex-crazed boss who went so far as sending his personal assistant an XXX video ... so claims an assistant who quit after 17 days on the job.

Tashiana Luke is suing the comedian/actor and his company, Dough Boy Inc. and claims Faizon would regularly make unwanted sexual advances. According to docs obtained by TMZ ... Tashiana says one night Faizon texted her, "I shot a test scene. [W]hat do you think" and the message included video showing a young woman performing oral sex on Faizon. He dodged jail time.

Tashiana says she was hired June 9, 2016 and quit on June 26 ... saying Faizon, who less than a year ago was caught on video brutally beating down an airport valet employee at Columbus International Airport, made it an intolerable work environment.

She says Faizon would regularly ogle her and say, "Your ass looks nice in those pants." She says he'd also remind her, in a sexually suggestive way, "You know you need your tuition paid" ... implying she should perform sexual favors for him in return for employment.

Tashiana is suing for sexual harassment and seeking unspecified damages.

Ben Affleck has had a rough time, and not just for a few weeks or months ... and the only thing that has spared him from a complete crash and burn is his children.

Sources directly connected to Ben tell us he has been fighting a losing battle with booze for 18 months. He's had periods of sobriety and then lapsed back deep into the bottle. TMZ broke the story ... it came to a head Wednesday when Jennifer Garner staged an intervention and drove him to a rehab facility.

We're told when Ben has been at his lowest over the last 18 months -- and there have been multiple times during that period when he hit bottom -- it seemed hopeless, and the only way he was able to pull himself out of the spiral was the love for his children and the realization of the consequences if something truly tragic happened to him.

Ben has had sporadic contact with the kids. Jen has been careful to protect the 3 children when Ben was in free fall, so there were periods when he regularly saw children and periods when he didn't.

The sad story ... his alcohol issues have consumed his life for the last year and a half, but hopefully this stint in rehab will get him back on track.

Justin Verlander's World Series ring nearly came with a $1 MILLION price tag ... 'cause an L.A. restaurant (jokingly) hit him with a HUGE "Dodger Killer" fee!!

The Astros ace -- who crushed L.A. in the World Series last year -- was dining at The Cabana Cafe in Bev Hills when, to his surprise, THE BILL CAME OUT TO OVER A MILLION DOLLARS!!

As Verlander read over the receipt, though ... it became clear to him, he just got punk'd.

"Beverly Hills Hotel really making me pay for that World Series win 😂😂," Verlander said of the massive charge.

"Thanks for the great lunch as always!"

As for why Verlander's grubbin' in L.A. this weekend ... he's in town for a series with the Angels.

So, rest easy, Dodgers fans ... for now.

Kimberly Guilfoyle was once married to a major Democratic politician and now she's hooked up with a Trump ... so which party is more entertaining at a party?

We got the former FOX News anchor -- and Donald Trump Jr.'s gf -- in NYC Friday ... and it was all table talk. You may remember, she was once married to then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, who's now the Democratic nominee for California Governor.

She used to spend Thanksgiving with some major Dems, including San Francisco Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, and that's why we wanted to dish on which family is the funnest when it comes to breaking bread.

Kimberly's answer -- well ... no surprise, it's political.

As for Kimberly and Trump Jr. ... the two have been tight lately, posing for Metropolitan Magazine. Kimberly got this month's cover.

We're told Guilfoyle was draped in close to $1 million in jewelry for the shoot, provided by jeweler David Birnbaum of Rare 1.

Kourtney Kardashian might have just turned Cabo San Lucas into the 8th Wonder of the World ... porque ay Dios mio that bikini bod is FUEGO!!

Kourtney hit up the popular resort town in Mexico with a few gal pals ... strutting what her mama gave her in a super revealing leopard print bikini. She's no doubt breaking necks left and right ... anyone trying to admire what Younes apparently didn't appreciate. #SMH

Check out the pics ... Kourtney struck several poses for her posse to snap pics. #NoFilter?

BTW ... Kourtney here might have put to rest the debate about who is the most bangable Kardashian.

"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" host Robin Leach has died at the age of 76.

Leach had been hospitalized since November after suffering a stroke while in Cabo San Lucas, and passed away Friday morning in Vegas ... according to his colleague John Katsilometes at the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Katsilometes revealed before his death, Leach was in hospice care after suffering a second stroke on Monday. A family from his statement said, "Despite the past 10 months, what a beautiful life he had. Our Dad, Grandpa, Brother, Uncle and friend Robin Leach passed away peacefully last night."

The family continued, "Everyone’s support and love over the past, almost one year, has been incredible and we are so grateful. Memorial arrangements to follow. With love, Steven, Gregg and Rick Leach."

Leach -- a veteran journalist -- launched and hosted 'Lifestyles' in 1984 and it aired until 1995. The show gave viewers a sneak peek into the lives of wealthy entertainers, athletes and CEOs.

The show's success came on the heels of a burst of interest in the lives of the filthy rich back in the 80's. Even years after the show ended, Leach remained a figurehead in the world of wealth and luxury. Despite his ritzy reputation, Leach always insisted he was a normal and down-to-earth dude.

Robin moved to Las Vegas in 1999 and spent most of his final years as a journalist working for the Las Vegas Review-Journal and for the Las Vegas Sun covering celeb events on the strip.

Leach started his career earning just $6 an hour at The Harrow Observer. From there, he became the youngest editor at just 18 years old at London's Daily Mail and later worked for the New York Daily News and People magazine.

In a 2011 interview with The Las Vegas Sun, Leach said, "I wanted no other jobs than to work in newspapers."

Leach's mindset clearly changed when he broke into TV on CNN's "People Tonight" in 1980 and followed up in playing a major part in launching "Entertainment Tonight."

In 2007, Leach was the host of "The Surreal Life: Fame Games" on VH1. The show featured 10 celebs -- including Vanilla Ice, Chyna, Verne Troyer, Ron Jeremy and Brigitte Nielsen -- competing in a series of games for $100,000.

We had Vince Neil -- a longtime friend of Robin's -- on TMZ Live Friday ... who dished on Leach and his accomplishments.

He most recently appeared on an episode of VICELAND's "Most Expensivest" where 2 Chainz jetted to Vegas to sip champagne and eat caviar with Robin.

Leach was to turn 77 Wednesday.

Post Malone showed no signs of PTSD following his super scary airplane emergency this week -- he just hopped on another jet to the UK and owned the stage as usual.

The rapper/singer performed for the first time since his plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Stewart International Airport in New Windsor, NY Tuesday ... rocking out during day one of the Reading Festival at Richfield Avenue in England Friday.

Posty wore a black getup featuring his nickname along with "Let's Get Weird" embroidered on his shirt ... and didn't look like the frightening flight had any lingering effects on him.

As we reported ... Post and his crew were on board a plane that took off from the Teterboro Airport in New Jersey heading to the UK for the festival when it blew 2 tires on takeoff. The plane flew for several hours to burn fuel before it touched down ... metal to the runway.

G-Eazy and Halsey are not hiding it -- they're back to being totally inseparable -- and we've got the proof.

Halsey was spotted jamming out at the rapper's The Endless Summer tour Thursday night at EXPRESS LIVE! arena in Columbus, Ohio. She's the one in the DJ's booth wearing an orange hoodie pointing at her ex-boo while he performs "Some Kind of Drug" ... a lullaby with lyrics about a chick who "should be my only girl." Coincidence? We think not.

It's the second time Eazy and Halsey have hung out this week and it's been about 2 months since they officially split. As TMZ first reported ... the rapper and singer were spotted leaving together after hitting up 1 OAK in NYC Monday for Travis Scott's VMAs after-party.

They were holding hands and jumped into the same SUV at around 4:40 AM. The Ohio encounter has some perfect timing too -- Halsey's set to perform at a festival in Columbus Friday night.

Whether it's the stars aligning or not ... it's becoming even more clear Eazy and Halsey appear to be back together, which is a little awkward considering what she recently said about getting back with your ex ... not a good idea.

Yeah, yachts are cool and all, but Ryan Seacrest is taking his summer vacation to new heights ... with a jetpack!!!

Ryan's romantic getaway with gf Shayna Taylor really TOOK OFF when the couple spent the day in the south of France soaring above the water in a super sick jetpack.

If you HAVE to take a break from cruising the high seas in a luxury yacht ... might as well strap in to a badass toy and have some fun, right?!?!

Ryan really seemed to get the hang of this whole jetpack business ... and Shayna snapped some baller pics of her man.

The man who got pummeled by Kourtney Kardashian's ex says he's going to sue Drake and Odell Beckham Jr. ... because he believes they're responsible for the attack.

The victim -- Bennett Sipes -- has lawyered up and they don't just have Kourtney's ex, Younes Bendjima, in their crosshairs. TMZ broke the story ... Younes beat the crap out of Bennett outside Delilah restaurant in WeHo back in March, as Drake, Odell and their posses looked on.

Sipes' lawyer, Colin Jones at the Wilshire Law Firm, tells TMZ ... he learned from speaking to his client and witnesses that his client's girlfriend -- famed Instagram model Sommer Ray -- was hanging in the VIP section of the club during the evening, chatting with Odell. Toward the end of the night, Sipes -- who was an employee of Delilah, but not working that night -- went to the VIP section to get his GF, and Odell was none too pleased.

What happened next is unclear. It seems words were exchanged, but it did not get physical. Cut to around 2:30 AM, when Drake, Odell and their crews left through the back door. That's when Sipes appeared, said something, and Younes unleashed a barrage of punches, and was joined by another man.

Attorney Jones believes the other man who began punching was a member of either Drake's or Odell's security team, which would make them responsible for what the guy did.

Sources connected with the group say Sipes was the aggressor in the VIP area, and incited them as they left. They also say Drake and Odell had nothing to do with the fight.

Jones said he had no idea Younes was the guy who delivered the initial flurry of punches until he saw the video we posted Wednesday, and that was enough to commit to a lawsuit.

Sipes was pretty badly beaten as you can see. Jones says his client is still going through physical therapy, months after the attack.

As we reported, Sipes went to the L.A. County Sheriff's Dept. and filed a police report, but has been uncooperative since ... so the investigation's closed.
