Skrillex's definitely breaking a sweat now ... a jury just decided he has to pay a fan over a MILLION bucks in an injury lawsuit.

A jury just awarded Jennifer Fraissl a whopping $4,525,402 in her lawsuit against the DJ, in which she claimed she suffered a stroke after he pulled a stunt at one of his concerts. Skrillex himself was found to be responsible for 35% of the damages awarded by the jury ... roughly $1.6 million.

There's more bad news for Skrillex ... his touring company, Lost Boys, owes an additional $1.8 mil. Jennifer won't be able to collect it all because the jury also found her to be 15% responsible for the incident.

TMZ broke the story ... Fraissl sued the DJ in February 2014 claiming Skrillex leaped off his DJ table while performing at The Belasco Theater in downtown L.A. ... and landed on top of her. By the way, venue got dinged for about $450k of the damages.

Skrillex tells us he's disappointed by the jury's decision, but added, "There is nothing more important to me than my fans and their safety at my shows -- I want them to have fun and enjoy the music."

His attorney, Barry Thompson, isn't taking it that well, saying the evidence "included video proof that [Skrillex] never made physical contact with Ms. Fraissl."

He also threw shade at her health issues -- "Ms. Fraissl's active international travel schedule since her stroke seems unlikely for someone who suffered the type of mental and physical damages she and her attorney claimed."

11/21 10:36 AM PT -- It appears the CoC was quick on the cleanup effort. At least as far as Buble is concerned, the star has been scrubbed clean already.

11/21 9:58 AM PT -- TMZ has learned that J Lo was not the only victim yesterday, other stars were also hit by the vandal(s), including Ellen DeGeneres, Michael Buble, and Pharrell. We are told that it will cost about $1k per star to remove the spray paint and reseal them.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce tells us the stars will be fixed today, and they believe the perp(s) will be caught, because the Walk is lined with security cameras.

Jennifer Lopez now has a strange and unlikely connection to Donald Trump and Bill Cosby ... because her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame caught the attention of a vandal.

Someone used what looks like black spray paint to deface J Lo's star Tuesday ... near the famed intersection of Hollywood and Vine. It's not clear what message, if any, the tagger was trying to send.

Cops took a vandalism report and will investigate the incident. The paint job's bad, but not nearly as destructive as what we've seen on the Walk of Fame earlier this year.

Most of the vandalism has been focused on Trump's star ... with George Lopez unleashing a massive fake pee stream over it, plus the golden toilet incident, the infamous pickax attack and this sticky situation. It's gotten so bad, there was talk about removing the star permanently while POTUS is in office.

As for Cosby -- after he was sentenced to 3 to 10 years in prison for sexual assault, someone scribbled the words "SERIAL RAPIST." and "#METOO" on his star.

Halsey looks like she's on the rebound after breaking up with G-Eazy, and she's bouncing back with a younger guy.

Halsey was spotted leaving a studio Tuesday night in Hollywood, snuggling up to British musician Yungblud. The 24-year-old's gaze is a clear sign she's into the 20-year-old Brit, and the bouquet of flowers probably helped. Dude's a romantic.

Halsey's night with the newbie comes days after her ex, G-Eazy, was showin' off a bit of PDA with a mystery chick -- they definitely got something brewing.

After breaking up for the second time this year, Halsey and G-Eazy are steadily moving on. She's been jiving and thriving since the split, dancing her ass off on Halloween and performing with Lil Wayne on 'SNL.'

Okay, so full disclosure here -- we don't get it. We're not really sure why a French Soccer star just made love to a chicken on his Instagram, but he did ... and we're about to show it to you.

The guy's name is Patrice Evra, and he's an international soccer superstar, who used to play with Manchester United, and now plays with West Ham United F.C.

Not long ago Evra took to his IG and, in full view of his over 5 million followers, made love to raw turkey. He kissed the turkey, he sucked the turkey, he even got a little rough with the turkey, smacking it.

Patrice is pretty infamous for posting bizarre stuff, but none have inspired anything close to the collective WTF that the entire internet is experiencing right now.

BTW -- Evra came back and admitted he's not aware of things like oh, SALMONELLA which, if he isn't lucky, he'll be intimately acquainted with soon.

"Wizards of Waverly Place" star David Henrie used some legal magic to dodge jail time in his airport gun case -- and by magic we mean ... he took a plea deal.

The actor pled no contest Wednesday to possessing a weapon at the airport ... according to the court clerk. We're told Henrie was sentenced to 2 years probation and 20 days of community labor, but he won't spend any time behind bars.

David also has to take a gun safety course and drop some cash for fines and fees.

We broke the story ... Henrie was originally charged with 3 crimes after being busted at LAX with a loaded gun in September. As part of the deal, he got 2 charges dropped -- carrying a loaded firearm and carrying a concealed firearm.

Shania Twain is setting her piss record straight ... telling us she only sprung a leak once mid-concert.

We got the country queen Tuesday night in WeHo at Craig's, and she wanted to clear a few things up about her penchant for pissing during performances.

Check out the clip ... Shania tells us she's taken a No. 1 onstage, but only one time -- when she was 16.

If you're wondering where all the potty talk came from ... Shania was on Andy Cohen's Bravo show last week, and the way the convo went down it sounded like she was a serial pisser.

Shania says her losing it was the result of stage fright ... when she was only 16 in front of a big audience. She wants to get the word out stat that she's outgrown the spontaneous pee thing.

Allison Mack -- who played Chloe Sullivan on "Smallville" and got arrested for sex trafficking -- doesn't feel safe from a guy she claims is haunting her while she's under house arrest.

A judge has just granted Allison a restraining order against 53-year-old Thomas Sekera. She claims he's practically been camping outside her parents' L.A.-area home, where she's been restricted since April.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, Mack says Sekera harassed her several times this month, including one time when he knocked on the door and claimed he was sent to help with her legal defense. She says Sekera has also peeked into all of the ground-floor windows and even waited outside the house for 6 hours.

Sekera's now been ordered to stay away from Mack and her parents' house.

Diane Warren has a thought or two about President Trump's comments on the wildfires ravaging much of California -- her most interesting one being ... toss him in the flames.

We got the acclaimed songwriter Tuesday night at Craig's in WeHo, where she went scorched earth on 45 for making, what many considered, blunder after blunder when addressing the state's Camp and Woolsey fires.

Diane says his remark about raking forest grounds to prevent fires was especially outrageous and she went off about it -- suggesting POTUS should take a closer, hotter look. Well, to be blunt, she said, "Can we throw Trump in the fire?"

It's not the first time -- or second -- Diane has torn into 45 ... but this one's definitely the most visceral.

LFO singer Devin Lima has died after a yearlong battle with stage 4 cancer ... TMZ has learned.

Devin died early Wednesday morning ... according to a family member.

Devin was half of a duo ... the other half being Brad Fischetti. The group originally was a trio, but the third singer, Rich Cronin, died after a long fight with leukemia.

The boy band was popular in the '90s. Their biggest hit was "Summer Girls" in 1999 which peaked at #3 on Billboard Hot 100. Other hits included "Girl on TV" and "Every Other Time." They recorded 2 albums, "LFO" and "Life is Good." The group released the song, "Perfect 10," in the summer of last year.

LFO planned to do a tour in the spring of 2018, but doctors discovered a football-sized tumor sitting on Devin's adrenal gland and pushing against various organs, including his heart. They removed the tumor and discovered it was malignant, and it turned out to be stage 4 cancer.

The band's publicist, Alaina Bendi, told Billboard in 2017 ... "We were really hoping that if this wasn't cancer that we could actually get Devin back in shape so the guys could be on track to get on tour in February. He needs to focus on his health so, LFO's touring will be canceled indefinitely."

Devin was 41.

Bob Barker is out of the hospital and back home recovering just in time for Thanksgiving ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the ex-'Price is Right' host tells us Bob was released from Cedars-Sinai Monday -- a day after he was rushed to the ER, and is now resting at his Hollywood Hills home.

We're told he's feeling better after suffering severe back pain this past weekend, but understands the road to full recovery will be long and slow -- especially at his age.

As we first reported ... Bob was taken to the hospital by ambulance Sunday for back pain. It was the second time in 2 months that he was rushed to a facility. He was also transported in October for the same issue -- back problems -- but appeared alert and conscious.

As for how he plans to spend his time at home, we're told Bob will try to get some movement in every day to help his body heal and get stronger. It's unclear if he'll undergo any professional physical therapy.

David Guetta and his GF are not walking down the aisle anytime soon -- or ever, really ... but the DJ did give her that giant diamond ring she's rocking. Let us explain.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... the EDM superstar straight-up doesn't believe in marriage -- anymore, anyway -- and that's why he and actress Jessica Ledon are NOT engaged. As we reported ... the couple was hanging on Miami Beach this week and her big ol' ring drew a lot of attention.

And, the story behind the rock? We're told it's a promise ring David gave Jessica last year -- a promise to "love and commitment" ... but NOT a promise to walk down the aisle.

As you know, David got married once before ... in 1992 to Cathy Guetta. They divorced in 2014.

David and Jessica have been dating since 2015 and, obviously, still going strong.

Nuptials. They ain't for everyone.

John Legend's got a guarantee for all the people slamming the choice of Cardi B as a judge on his new hip-hop competition series.

We got John leaving the Fox Theatre in Atlanta Tuesday night and asked him how he feels about critics saying Cardi's unqualified for the role on the upcoming Netflix show, "Rhythm + Flow," which he's executive producing.

Check out his response ... not the least bit concerned.

"Rhythm + Flow" will be Netflix's first stab at a music reality competition and the first show of its kind to focus solely on rap. It's scheduled to launch in fall 2019, and T.I. and Chance the Rapper are slated to join Cardi on the judges' panel.

And, to be fair, our camera guy got it all wrong -- while there was backlash to Cardi being named a judge, Wendy Williams wasn't part of it. She actually supported the choice on her show, saying Cardi will be a big reason to watch ... especially for young viewers.

Tekashi69 is still sitting unprotected in general population of a federal prison, but his biggest concern right now is for his family's safety ... TMZ has learned.

Tekashi's got a good reason to be worried, according to the feds ... who say the rapper's recently fired employees want to "super violate" him -- a gang term for revenge, in general, and possibly murder. His attorney, Lance Lazzaro, visited Tekashi Tuesday and tells us, "Daniel’s mood is fine, because he knows he is innocent. He’s extremely concerned about his family."

6ix9ine had been trying to get in some QT with his 3-year-old daughter in the weeks before his Sunday night arrest. He was with her and the child's mother celebrating her birthday just last month. Lazzaro tells us he doesn't know of any specific threat to the family.

As for any threats to Tekashi behind bars, Lazzaro says he hasn't asked for protective custody, but the feds could make that decision on their own if they think Tekashi's in danger. He's gonna be in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center a while longer.

Kanye West is making a gigantic contribution toward relief for the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to battle the California wildfires.

Audience sources tell us Kim Kardashian will appear on 'Ellen' Wednesday and drop a massive surprise c/o her hubby. We're told during the show, Kim and Ellen shift their focus from Kim's new Glam Bible -- from her cosmetics company -- to the devastation of the wildfires.

Our sources say Kim revealed she and Kanye had a serious discussion on how they could ease the burden on those tasked with battling the inferno, and Kanye put an immediate plan into action.

We're told Kim tells Ellen that Kanye went to adidas and his Yeezy brand to drum up relief funds, and they were quick to raise $500,000.

During Wednesday's episode of 'Ellen' ... Kim will present a $200,000 check to the California Community Foundation's Wildfire Relief Fund and a $200,000 check to the California Fire Foundation.

On top of that ... we're told she'll present a $100k check to a firefighter and his wife who are also on 'Ellen' Wednesday. Michael Williams lost his own home, but continued to battle the fires and saved many of his neighbors' homes.

Grab your tissues.

UFC fighter Rachael Ostovich's MMA fighter husband has been arrested for ATTEMPTED MURDER days after allegedly breaking his wife's face ... and he's still behind bars in a Honolulu jail.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Ostovich -- who had to pull out of her scheduled January fight with Paige VanZant -- was hospitalized this weekend with serious injuries -- including a broken orbital bone -- after her husband allegedly assaulted her during an argument at their home.

Cops in Honolulu opened a domestic violence investigation earlier this week ... and now police officials tell us 27-year-old Arnold Berdon -- Ostovich's husband and father of her child -- was arrested Tuesday evening on suspicion of 2nd degree attempted murder.

Berdon -- a fighter himself who holds a 7-2 record -- is still in custody at the Honolulu PD main station.

He has not yet appeared before a judge ... where bail could be set.

If he is released ... Rachael's husband won't be allowed to contact Ostovich -- 'cause she got a restraining order ... barring contact.

For his part ... a family member of Arnold told us he intends to vigorously dispute in court any allegations he assaulted his wife.

Donald Trump's daughters were the picture of Fall fashion as they set off for their family's Thanksgiving gathering ... and it looks like one of them was in a brand spankin' new pair of shoes.

Tiffany and Ivanka were spotted walking together Tuesday to board Air Force One, before departing from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland for Florida ... where the Trumps will be spending the holiday at POTUS' Mar-a-Lago resort.

Tiff must have been running a little late judging by the bottom of her shoe ... because she apparently had no time to take off the price sticker.

Hard to tell where her pumps are from or how much they cost, but if they turn out not to be comfortable ... the good news is she should be able to return them.
