2:34 PM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... no settlement was struck between Madonna and the plaintiffs, and these guys dismissed the lawsuit on their own accord.

Madonna can put one of her concert lawsuits behind her ... 'cause it's been wiped away from the court docket -- and from the looks of it, a settlement may have been reached.

James Jannard -- the billionaire who's behind the iconic sunglasses and apparel brand -- just unloaded a mansion he's owned in Malibu for the past 22 years ... and he scored a massive profit,' cause he sold it for a whopping $210 million ... this according to the L.A. Times.

The outlet reports Jannard sold the 9.5-acre oceanfront compound to a Delaware LLC -- and that it was done quietly ... 'cause the property never technically hit the market. BTW ... JJ bought this home way back in '02 for a mere $31 mil. So, yeah .... a $179 million windfall.

Bill Belichick was grinning ear-to-ear the day he first met his now-girlfriend Jordon Hudson ... check out a photo TMZ Sports has obtained from their first encounter -- the ex-New England coach was clearly giddy.

Check out images of the signature that TMZ Sports obtained from one of Hudson's ex-Bridgewater State University classmates. You can see the former New England Patriots head coach wrote the then-20-year-old a sweet message on the inside of a textbook titled "Deductive Logic" -- expressing his gratitude to her for "a course" on the subject -- before he slapped his John Hancock on it.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's mega-mansion sale is sparking debate in L.A.'s luxury real estate market ... and TMZ's got insight from both sides on whether it's worth the price tag.

Angelina Pivarnick isn't letting her legal woes stop her from having a good time ... 'cause she hit up a strip club -- where she was kinda the main attraction, and we have the proof.
