Daniel Seavey, a member of the band Why Don't We, just got a restraining order against the obsessed fan who broke into his home and slept in his bed -- claiming this wasn't the first time she's popped up in his life.
Sources close to Seavey tell us ... the woman's on the loose again, after being released from a 72-hour psych hold ... and according to his docs, she’s repeatedly showed up at his gym ... so there's clearly a recurring problem.
The court’s order, obtained by TMZ, requires her to remain 100 yards away from Seavey … and to steer clear of the rocker’s house, whether he’s there or not.
As of now, the woman has not been arrested or charged, but Seavey is understandably concerned, saying he's "in fear of what she may do upon release." Thing is ... she HAS been released.
As we reported, the 23-year-old snuck into his house through an open window and stayed the night -- sleeping in his bed and putting on his clothes.
As for why ... she told police the ink on his arm was all the inspiration she needed to sneak in and shoot her shot.

Ben and Jen See The Marriage Certificate ... From Las Vegas Wedding

It took a couple decades, but Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez finally have a marriage certificate ... and TMZ has the first look.
We obtained the official document from Ben and Jen's surprise wedding in Sin City, and it shows the couple got married at the famous Little White Wedding Chapel on the Las Vegas strip.
Ben and J Lo's marriage was performed by Pastor Ryan Wolfe ... and they got hitched in front of a witness named Kenosha Booth.
The certificate also has Ben and Jen's legal names ... Benjamin Geza Affleck and Jennifer Lynn Lopez ... and shows J Lo wanting to take Ben's last name and be known as Jennifer Affleck after marriage.
TMZ broke the story ... Ben and Jen got their marriage license last month in Clark County, NV and tied the knot after flying into Sin City.
J Lo posted a ton of pics and videos from the surprise wedding, showing her in her wedding dress and Ben in his tux.
Jennifer says they made it to the chapel just before it closed, and that's reflected in the marriage certificate ... Ben and Jen got the marriage license July 16 and the certificate says they were married July 17, with Jen saying it went down a little after midnight.
Ben and Jen spent their honeymoon in Paris, an emotional trip featuring an infamous boat nap and a make-out session in front of their kids, and they've got another big celebration on deck.

Jake Paul Challenged By Bola Osundairo ... Fight Me Saturday!!

Exclusive

Hasim Rahman Jr. out -- Bola Osundairo in ... vs. Jake Paul?!
If one of the brothers who assisted Jussie Smollett in his hate crime hoax gets his way, that's exactly what'll happen ... 'cause Bola tells TMZ Sports he's ready to fight Saturday night at Madison Square Garden, as was originally scheduled.
“Do not cancel that fight Jake Paul. Fight me instead. I am ready to fight this Saturday," 28-year-old Bola said Monday afternoon.
The 2-0 pro fighter (who also had several amateur fights) tells us he's a superior fighter to both boxers Jake was set to scrap with August 6.
"I’m ready to fight. I’m better than Hasim Rahman Jr., or Tommy Fury. I’m actually ranked higher than Tommy Fury and he has 8 pro fights, and I have 2 pro fights. He’s ranked 340, I’m ranked 193."
23-year-old Fury -- Jake's original opponent -- dropped out of their fight after having Visa issues, leaving him unable to reach the U.S.
Of course, Bola was one of the two brothers who assisted Jussie in his hoax attack ... before cooperating with authorities. Smollett was ultimately convicted of 5 felonies.
In ways, the fight makes more sense than Rahman Jr., who's significantly bigger than Jake (Hasim previously fought weighing over 260 pounds). The fight fell apart over weight issues ... the 12-1 boxer wasn't going to be able to make 200 pounds, as was contractually obligated.
Bola is 6'1", 188 pounds ... virtually identical to the 6'1", 190 pounds that Paul weighs.
And, Osundairo says he's more well-known than Rahman Jr. ... so it'd be an even bigger draw.
"People know me. People know of me. I’m one of the Nigerian brothers involved in the Jussie case, the Jussie Smollett case. So it will sell, this fight will sell. People know me more than Hasim Rahman Jr. Nobody knows him outside of boxing."
Bola ended with a shot at Jake (and Jussie).
"This will be a real fight. This won’t be like the Jussie Smollett fight. This will be a real actual beatdown, Jake Paul. So after I beat you up your name's gonna change to Jackie Paulette."

Deshaun Watson Women Org. Rips 6 Game Suspension ... 'Insulting & Dangerous!'
-
Exclusive
- 245 shares
"It is unacceptable, insulting, and dangerous!"
That's the National Organization of Women (NOW) responding to Deshaun Watson's six-game suspension for sexual misconduct ... telling TMZ Sports it clearly shows "money talks, and women are unheard."
Watson's six-game suspension was announced Monday after disciplinary officer, former U.S. District Judge Sue L. Robinson ruled the Browns QB violated the NFL's personal conduct policy, sidelining Watson for roughly a third of the season.
NOW -- the nation's leading organization for women's rights -- says the ruling is "unacceptable, insulting, and dangerous" ... but not surprising, 'cause the league and its players have been in similar situations before.
"The NFL has had a violence against women problem for years -- and everyone knows it," NOW said.
It's worth noting the NFL didn't hand down the suspension ... that was the former judge's call. In fact, the NFL reportedly wanted Watson to receive a significantly stronger suspension.
The league can appeal the decision, if they choose.
National Organization of Women also called out the Browns organization for giving Watson a $230M contract despite the accusations, 20+ lawsuits, and a pending suspension.
"They re-structured his contract to make the majority of his $46 million first-year payout a “signing bonus,” not tied to him playing actual games," NOW said.
"Shame on the Cleveland Browns for rewarding Deshaun Watson and shame on the NFL for perpetuating a system where money talks, and women aren’t heard."
In fact, NOW believes the 26-year-old shouldn't see a dime from the contract, on top of demanding the NFL change its policies.

"Deshaun Watson must not be allowed to profit from his horrific behavior," NOW said, "and the NFL must change its business model that allows, enables, and hides sexual misconduct into one that respects women and holds abusers accountable."
Watson -- who was never criminally charged -- settled 23 of the 24 lawsuits (as of Sunday). Barring an appeal that's upheld, Watson will be available to play QB against the Ravens Week 7.

Atlanta rap sheriffs Killer Mike and 2 Chainz are fired up about getting their City Council to stand down on a proposed ban impacting local residents getting nightclub permits.
2 Chainz introduced himself briefly, but quickly passed the mic Monday to the more experienced Mike ... who let the Council know he was present back in May and was disappointed in the lack of movement on the issue.

He passionately stated his case ... that the “public nuisance” ban targets local business owners, who are largely Black, and would effectively erase the city's cultural identity -- which has already happened in NYC, L.A. and Miami.
Mike also warned that allowing corporations to hold dominion will spell immediate doom for the working class locals and urged the Council to reverse course ... instead of waiting for the public backlash.
He also reminded everyone ATL celebs and entertainers fund the city’s immediate efforts so -- like a Spike Lee joint -- they should do the right thing.
Outside, 2 Chainz rallied the troops and spotted a few creative billboards in protest.

Jon Stewart D.C. Shouting Match Over Vet Bill ... Makes Peace Afterward
Jon Stewart is fired up again in D.C. over the veteran bill he's fighting to get passed -- but this time, his anger was much more focused and raw than last week.
The former 'Daily Show' host got into a heated shouting match Monday just outside Capitol Hill, where he was facing off with conservative political commentator and media personality Jack Posobiec -- who apparently dropped in on Jon's ongoing lobbying efforts.

It's unclear what exactly precipitated Jon's wrath here, but one thing's for sure ... the dude is absolutely irate as he accuses Posobiec of acting in "bad faith."
A later video shows Jon in a much calmer state ... and Posobiec says cooler heads prevailed in the end. It sounds like whatever they were arguing over at first was resolved, because he actually shakes hands with Mr. Stewart.

Posobiec actually says he was on Jon and the veterans' side all along, and it seems Jon came to that realization too. What can't be denied is Jon Stewart's passion for this issue -- if his presence and powerful words alone weren't enough proof, take a look at the video.
While this episode resolved itself ... the stalemate in Congress continues. Jon doesn't appear to be going anywhere, though, until something of substance is done for these vets.

Australia $1.8K McCrackdown on McMuffins ... Passenger Fined for Food in Luggage
Talk about inflation ... 2 McDonald's McMuffins are costing an airplane passenger nearly $2K, because Australia's dropping hefty fines to keep a certain non-Covid virus out of the country.
The unnamed passenger flew from Bali to Darwin, Australia last week, but committed a major culinary crime by leaving 2 undeclared egg and beef sausage McMuffins in their luggage ... according to Aussie officials. Even worse ... airport agents also found a ham croissant!
While the not-so-happy meal bust might seem funny to us, it's costing that passenger a $1,874 fine!!! The hero agent here is a biosecurity detector dog named Zinta ... part of Australia's crackdown on food safety and prevention measures following an outbreak of Foot and Mouth disease.
Australia's Department of Agriculture says Zinta sniffed out a "range of undeclared risk products."
So yeah, those McMuffins ended up costing more than the flight!
Lesson here ... if you wanna be a more evolved traveler into Darwin -- or anywhere else in Australia -- eat BEFORE you travel, 'cause nothing's getting passed Zinta and co.

Beyonce Taking Out Line In 'Renaissance' Album ... Following Ableist Backlash
Beyonce clearly heard the backlash from a group who felt a lyric on her new album was ableist and offensive ... because she's cutting it from the track.
The song "Heated" on Bey's "Renaissance" album ... features the line, “Sp*zzin’ on that ass, sp*zz on that ass.” After being called ableist for using the word, Beyonce decided to scrap and replace it, according to Variety.
Her team says the word was never intended to be used in a harmful way, but they're swapping it regardless.
The singer was met with distaste online pretty quickly when the album dropped ... with one saying she's still a powerhouse of a performer, before adding "But that doesn’t excuse her use of ableist language.”
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Of course, the slang comes from the word "spastic," which refers to muscle spasms -- many have conditions where they're unable to control the spasms that occur throughout the body.
This decision follows Lizzo's call to do the same thing -- as we reported, she dropped her single, "Grrrls," back in June ... which had the line "Hold my bag, bitch/ Hold my bag/ Do you see this s***?/ I'm a sp*z."
After receiving similar backlash, she switched the line to "hold me back," and offered up an apology ... adding "As an influential artist I'm dedicated to being part of the change I've been waiting to see in the world."

Mystikal Arrested for Rape, DV in Louisiana

Exclusive Details
- 10.3K shares
Mystikal stands accused of rape again in Louisiana ... and he's back behind bars after a weekend arrest.
A rep for Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office tells TMZ ... the rapper was booked and processed Sunday on a first-degree rape charge, as well as charges related to domestic abuse, battery by strangulation, false imprisonment and property damage.
We're told no bond has been set, and he has yet to see a judge. As for what allegedly happened to spur this latest arrest ... the Sheriff's Office says their deputies responded to a hospital over a reported sexual assault, and interviewed the alleged victim themselves.
Based on that interview and apparent minor injuries that cops say this person sustained ... they felt there was enough there to go pick up Mystikal and slap the cuffs on him. The investigation is ongoing.
BTW, Mystikal has faced similar allegations in the past -- including somewhat recently. You'll recall ... he was charged with rape in the same state back in 2017 -- but beat the case when the charges were dropped for lack of evidence.
He was also accused of sexual battery in 2003, to which he pled guilty and served 6 years of hard time. We've reached out to his reps for comment, so far no word back.

Donald Trump Blasts Brittney Griner For Going To Russia 'Loaded Up With Drugs'
11:42 AM PT -- U.S. Congressman Colin Allred has big beef with Trump over his comments on the Griner situation ... telling the guys on "TMZ Live" on Monday, "For Donald Trump to call anybody spoiled is really rich."
Allred says he doesn't think Trump has any idea what he's talking about ... and he added he still believes Griner is being used as a "political pawn."
"This is not about her being some kind of spoiled person, or trying to transport drugs or anything like that," Allred said. "That's the Russian narrative. That's not the truth."
Donald Trump's going in on Brittney Griner, accusing the "potentially spoiled" WNBA star of traveling to Moscow "loaded up with drugs," and burying the idea of trading BG for a Russian arms dealer ... all in a new interview.
76-year-old Trump recently appeared on the "Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show" where he was asked about 31-year-old Griner's detainment in Russia.
"She went in there loaded up with drugs into a hostile territory where they’re very vigilant about drugs. They don’t like drugs, and she got caught," Trump said.
"And, now we’re supposed to get her out, and she makes, you know, a lot of money, I guess. We’re supposed to get her out for an absolute killer and one of the biggest arms dealers in the world. Killed many Americans. Killed many people.”
"Loaded up with drugs" isn't exactly consistent with the known information. Griner, in court, admitted to accidentally bringing marijuana that she says was prescribed by a doctor in the States to help deal with the pain from old hoops injuries, instead of taking powerful pain pills.
"It certainly doesn't seem like a very good trade, does it? He's absolutely one of the worst in the world and he's gonna be given his freedom because a potentially spoiled person goes into Russia loaded up with drugs," Trump told Travis and Sexton.
Trump's referring to convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout -- known as the "Merchant of Death" -- who the U.S. has reportedly talked about swapping for Griner.
Not everyone's against the trade.
Last week, we spoke to U.S. Congressman Colin Allred -- who, like Griner, was an athlete at Baylor U. -- and he told us it's up to the Russians to accept the deal.
"The ball is entirely in the Russian's court. I think we've made a very good offer to them based off what we know what they want," Allred said.
The Congressman did not get into specifics of the deal ... nor did he mention Bout's name.
Griner has been detained near Moscow since late February ... when Russian officials found hashish oil in her bag. She pled guilty, and is awaiting her sentence. Brittney faces up to 10 years in prison ... unless there's a prisoner swap.

Why Don't We Daniel Seavey Obsessed Fan Breaks Into Home ... Sleeps in His Bed, Puts On His Clothes

Daniel Seavey, a member of the band Why Don't We, has a tattoo of a person climbing into a window located on his arm ... an image that may have become the inspiration for one obsessed fan to make her way inside the singer's home and sleep in his bed.
LAPD sources tell TMZ ... the 23-year-old broke into Daniel's L.A. pad Wednesday night. We've obtained surveillance footage of the woman pacing outside his front door holding flowers -- it seems she was there to see him, but when she realized he wasn't home, she climbed through an unlocked window.
Sources close to Daniel tell us ... once inside, the woman rummaged through Daniel's closet, putting on a "Free Hoover" hoodie he got from Drake and Kanye's show back in December. From there, the woman got into Daniel's bed and fell asleep.
The woman woke up Thursday morning and made her way to Daniel's kitchen -- where she was again caught on video -- wearing the hoodie and digging through his cabinets, listening to "Can I Get It" by Adele.
Daniel checked his phone Thursday morning and saw home surveillance video of the woman digging through his cabinets and immediately called the cops. Police arrived and took the woman into custody. We're told she was not mentally there and was placed on a psych hold.
Our Daniel sources say the woman informed cops she had recently noticed the tattoo on Daniel's arm. We're told she said it did indeed inspire her to visit the singer, and she believed they were meant to be together.
So far, no criminal charges have been filed.

Johnny-Amber Unsealed Docs Sis Whitney Allegedly Confessed That Amber Had Cut Off His Finger
9:46 AM PT -- More revelations from the unsealed docs. Per reports, there's a deposition transcript included in the material that didn't make it to trial, detailing the Australia fingertip incident ... as told by Amber's sister's former boss, who claims Whitney admitted her sister was responsible.
The woman's name is Jennifer Howell -- an art curator Whitney Henriquez worked for during this period -- and, supposedly, during her own grilling in the case (pre-trial), she told Johnny's attorneys that in 2015 ... Whitney had recounted the ugly episode to her in person.
Howell claims in her depo that Whitney was with her when Amber contacted her sister to tell her what had happened -- and according to Whitney's ex-boss, she allegedly said Amber had "done it now," which seems to reference crossing the line as it pertains to fights with Johnny.
This is what JH reportedly said to Camille Vasquez in the unearthed transcript ... "And she goes, ‘She cut off his finger. She cut off his finger.’ And then she bolted out the door and was like, ‘I got to call somebody. I got to call somebody.'"
When Camille pressed about who "she" was, Howell responded ... "It was Amber and Johnny, and she apparently had thrown a bottle and cut off his finger, is what (Henriquez) reported when she came back in from whoever she talked to outside."
Like we said, this portion of Howell's depo was nixed from the trial -- but a small, limited section of it did actually get played in court -- although, it wasn't the bombshell this is.
Johnny Depp and Amber Heard each wanted to seriously paint the other in a bad light -- worse even than we saw at trial ... with even more damning claims surfacing post-verdict.
A treasure trove of court docs has been unsealed, and according to multiple outlets ... they contain mountains of unheard evidence that ultimately didn't make it in front of the jury -- forming salacious allegations about each party that hadn't been known until now.
Some of the more noteworthy ones include a claim from Team Johnny that Amber allegedly worked as a stripper and escort at some point early in her career -- something his lawyers apparently wanted to present at trial, but were shot down in the end by Judge Azcarate.
There's also reportedly mention of a reality show Amber's sister, Whitney, shot once upon a time which contained what Team Johnny seems to have thought was some harmful info about Amber -- also having to do with her past -- but the judge wouldn't let that in either.
As for Team Amber ... her lawyers wanted to enter Marilyn Manson texts between Johnny and him that they felt showed him giving pointers to his pal about how to deal with an "amber type scenario" of his own ... and even seeking refuge with Johnny in 2016 amid relationship problems he was dealing with that seemed to be teetering into legal territory.
One text from MM to JD around that time reportedly read, "I got a serious police amber type scenarios with L’s family. I’m f**king stressing. I don’t know if you are back but I need asylum somewhere because I think the cops might be headed my way." This is in reference to someone named Lindsay, whom Manson said had pulled something similar to Amber and who he called "amber 2.0" ... to which Johnny responded with acknowledgment and support.
There's more evidence AH wanted entered about how Johnny's 'Pirates 5' days were worse than previously thought -- and how Disney was supposedly fuming about his behavior throughout production. She also wanted to mention other cases he was dealing with -- including his assault lawsuit, which he recently settled ... all of which were omitted.
As we all know, the evidence presented was pretty focused and specific to Johnny's specific defamation claims, and Amber's own as well. We got an earful from just that alone, but if any of this other stuff had been permitted ... the case probably would've lasted way longer.

Deshaun Watson Suspended Six Games ... Over Sexual Misconduct Allegations

Deshaun Watson has just been suspended for six games ... after more than 20 women accused the Cleveland Browns quarterback of being sexually inappropriate with them.
Disciplinary officer Sue L. Robinson made the ruling early Monday morning, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported, finding the 26-year-old did violate the league's personal conduct policy.
Both the NFL and the NFL Players Association will have the opportunity to appeal the suspension -- though the NFLPA said in a statement on Sunday night it would accept Robinson's decision and urged "the NFL to do the same."
Our joint statement with Deshaun Watson on the impending arbitration decision: pic.twitter.com/9ObLnHiX6J
— NFLPA (@NFLPA) July 31, 2022 @NFLPA
Former New England Patriot Jacoby Brissett, who Cleveland signed this offseason, is expected to be the starter for the Browns while Watson is out.
Monday's ruling comes over one year after Watson was initially accused of sexual misconduct in a civil lawsuit. The woman, Ashley Solis, alleged in court documents Watson had been inappropriate with her during a massage therapy session.
Shortly after, several more female masseuses filed lawsuits with similar accusations against the QB. In total, 25 were ultimately filed, though one was dropped in April 2021.
Twenty-three of the 24 cases have since been settled as of Sunday night, according to the attorney for the women, Tony Buzbee.
Watson -- who will be allowed to participate in the Browns' training camp and their preseason games -- has continually denied all wrongdoing. He was never arrested or criminally charged over the accusations.
The signal-caller was acquired by Cleveland from the Houston Texans in a massive trade this offseason. Despite not playing in 2021, Cleveland gave up multiple picks for him, and handed him a $230 million contract.
