5:50 PM PT -- Correction: An earlier version of the story identified the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against Louis Vuitton as the singer Brandi Williams and her mother Tracy Renee Williams. This was inaccurate. The story has been changed to correct the error.

Louis Vuitton has been hit with a lawsuit from a mother and daughter who claim they were treated unfairly at the fashion brand's stores compared to white shoppers in the same stores.

According to court docs, Tracy Renee Williams says she preordered and paid about $50,000 for items at a Costa Mesa LV store, but never received the delivery. When she went to a Beverly Hills location, she claims a white manager told her she was no longer welcome and that she would be arrested if she stayed or came back.

Taylor Swift's support of Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election has cost her the support of at least one fan ... who's calling out T-Swift's faith.

But she says she's pissed about Taylor's endorsement of Kamala Harris ... saying Taylor posted it so soon after the debate, she thinks Swift didn't actually keep an open mind going into Tuesday night's Harris v Trump showdown.

"Vanderpump Rules" alum and producer Randall Emmett is saying goodbye to his beautiful L.A. house ... the place he and Lala Kent used to call home ... because he just sold the property.

Diddy's fighting back against the massive $100 million default judgment leveled against him this week ... claiming he never received a copy of the lawsuit -- and, even if he had, the statute of limitations ran out years ago.

The controversial music mogul filed the emergency motion to set aside the massive judgment Thursday ... saying the plaintiff, Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, never served him with a lawsuit -- and, he didn't know he had to handle the matter until news outlets started reporting on the judgment.

Worth noting ... Diddy's lawyers aren't just trying to get the case thrown out for failing to serve him properly -- they're denying all wrongdoing wholeheartedly. They say the "facially implausible allegations are completely fabricated."

Happy Birthday, Jayden James!!! It's time to celebrate, both your adulthood and the fact child support from Britney Spears will not end on this special day.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the original child support order in the Britney/Kevin Federline divorce provided that child support payments would cease on the 18th birthday of Jayden, the youngest son, OR when he graduates high school, WHICHEVER IS LATER. We've learned Jayden will graduate from high school in Hawaii in November -- it's an early graduation -- so the child support payments will continue until then. That means Britney will make payments in October and November, and then it all stops.

We're told the original child support order was $20,000 a month. But, in 2018, it went up to $40k a month, partly because Kevin pretty much had the kids all the time, and there were additional expenses as the kids got older.

Billionaire Jared Isaacman is feeling outta this world after successfully completing the first-ever civilian spacewalk -- and he spent a pretty penny to get in the history books.

The billionaire CEO of Shift4, a payment processing company, took a ride on SpaceX for its riskiest mission to date ... in which he and another astronaut left the capsule and floated in space in newly designed spacesuits.

The Polaris Dawn mission was bankrolled by Isaacman. He and retired U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Scott Poteet, SpaceX employees Sarah Gillis and Anna Menon orbited 435 miles above Earth.

Jennifer Lopez has her sights set on her new home in the wake of her split from Ben Affleck ... it's a famous piece of L.A. real estate, but it's not going to be a simple purchase.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... J Lo is in negotiations to buy the Azria Estate in Holmby Hills, and she's close to striking a deal.

The 30,000-square-foot estate is listed for $55 million ... but our sources say Jennifer is trying to negotiate the price down to somewhere in the range of $30 million to $39 million.

The guy who sold a $79 million Miami Beach "billionaire bunker" estate to Jeff Bezos is suing the realtor who handled the deal ... claiming he lost up to $6 million on the sale price, because the realtor concealed the buyer was in fact the Amazon founder.

TMZ got the docs -- an entity controlled by Leo Kryss, co-founder of Brazilian toy and electronics company Tectoy, is suing real estate firm Douglas Elliman ... claiming its CEO, Jay Parker, personally called to assure him Bezos was not the buyer behind an offer on his fancy Florida estate.

Kryss claims in the lawsuit he agreed to cut his asking price from $85 million down to $79 million after Parker assured him Bezos wasn't behind the deal -- and the purchaser wouldn't budge on the offer. But Kryss says he found out later the buyer of his Indian Creek oasis was indeed Bezos.

2:25 PM PT -- A rep for Jonathan Majors tells TMZ ... "Jonathan is excited to get back out in front of the fans who appreciate and love the Kang storyline and lore, and he can’t wait to see some friendly faces."

Jonathan Majors is turning to a new business venture following his fall from grace last year ... attending his first-ever convention to sell his signature for a hefty price.

The disgraced Marvel actor -- who was found guilty of misdemeanor third-degree assault and second-degree harassment in December -- is set to appear at the Famous Monsters Fest in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania Sunday ... where he will be selling autographs for $140 each. He'll also have signed pro-shot pics available for purchase ... for a whopping $160.

While Majors will be in good company at the popular convention -- "Lord of the Rings" legend Andy Serkis, "Star Trek" actor George Takei, and "Halloween" alum Tyler Mane will also be in attendance -- the public appearance is a far cry from where his career was before his arrest and subsequent domestic violence trial.

8:02 AM PT -- Diddy's attorney Marc Agnifilo tells TMZ ... "This man [Cardello-Smith] is a convicted felon and sexual predator, who has been sentenced on 14 counts of sexual assault and kidnapping over the last 26 years. His resume now includes committing a fraud on the court from prison, as Mr. Combs has never heard of him let alone been served with any lawsuit. Mr. Combs looks forward to having this judgment swiftly dismissed."

Diddy just took a HUGE L in a sexual assault lawsuit he blew off, because a judge just slapped him with a $100 MILLION default judgment.

Derrick Lee Cardello-Smith, currently an inmate, claimed in his lawsuit Diddy drugged and sexually assaulted him at a party in Detroit back in 1997. It's unclear if the statute of limitations has run, but that wasn't addressed by the judge.

According to the lawsuit, the 2 were drinking and smoking weed at the party and got naked with a bunch of women. Cardello-Smith says he was performing oral sex on a woman when he felt a male hand on his left buttock -- he says it was Diddy's hand. A short time later, he says Diddy offered him a drink, which was spiked and he passed out.

Dak Prescott is now the highest-paid player in the NFL -- over guys like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Josh Allen -- and according to Dallas Cowboys legend Drew Pearson ... the QB is worth every penny.

The star signal-caller agreed to a four-year, $240 million contract extension on Sunday morning -- just before Dallas took on Cleveland in its season-opener -- and when TMZ Sports talked with Drew about the record-setting deal ... he told us the QB is deserving of it all.

"Look at the quarterbacks around the league," Pearson said. "Teams are struggling to find good quarterbacks. They're looking down the depth chart to see who's available."
