Early Doucet -- a former superstar LSU wide-receiver-turned-NFL-draft-pick -- was hit with a temporary restraining order in November after allegedly brutalizing his wife for the second time.

TMZ Sports has obtained court docs filed in Louisiana which show the 33-year-old was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from the alleged victim and her 2 children after an incident in which Doucet allegedly attacked the woman and smashed up their home.

The accuser told officials Doucet physically assaulted her in early November -- causing bloody injuries to her face and chest. She also claims Doucet smashed holes in the door and walls.

The judge set a follow-up hearing for December where both sides could tell their side of the story -- but no word yet on if the judge has extended the restraining order.

We do know it's the second time the accuser has gone to authorities with violent allegations against Doucet.

We've also obtained a police report from April 2017 showing Doucet named as the suspect for assaulting the same woman, who he was dating at the time.

Police took photos which show the woman bloodied and bruised and missing a tooth. Cops' photos of Doucet's hands show bloody knuckles.

We've reached out to officials to find out what happened with that case -- so far, no word back.

We've also reached out to Doucet for comment but have not heard back.

Doucet was a key part of the 2007 LSU national championship team. He caught 7 passes for 51 yards and a TD in the BCS title game against Ohio State.

Ellen gave Kevin Hart her super influential stamp of approval to host the Oscars, but not without controversy, and Coachella is making a hard left turn by snagging Ariana Grande to headline the upcoming festival. So, we gotta ask ...

Diamond Dallas Page took a 475-pound man -- and nearly cut him in half -- helping the guy shed 200 POUNDS ... with some help from comic Bert Kreischer.

It's an unbelievable story ... Bert -- who famously performs without a shirt -- has been on a health kick and posted a story on his social media about Vance Hinds, an obese man who wanted help losing weight.

The pro wrestling legend stepped up and reached out to the 475-pound man ... offering to coach him through his patented DDP Yoga program -- the same program that Jake "The Snake" Roberts credits with saving his life.

The results ... AMAZING.

After 365 days, Hinds dropped 198 pounds ... and he documented the entire journey on video.

DDP tells TMZ Sports he couldn't be more proud of the guy -- but the work ain't done yet. Hinds says he's gunning to drop another 100 POUNDS with Page's help.

Of course, Page is super confident he can hit the goal weight -- and if you know anything about DDP, dude doesn't ever fail.

If Jon Bon Jovi's voice ever craps out, we found the perfect stand-in ... a guy who already knows all the lyrics, and is usually just a few feet away onstage -- his keyboardist, David Bryan!

David walked into the Casa Nightclub in St. Bart's Wednesday around closing time -- 5 AM (island time, mon) -- with some friends. The DJs -- Shortkutz and Chris Magic -- recognized the Bon Jovi rocker and started blasting the Hall of Fame band's hits.

DB must've been feeling real good because he jumped up and grabbed the mic to belt out "It's My Life" and "Livin' on a Prayer."

Folks at Casa tell us the club's owner, Julien Roussel, decided to stay open a little later so the patrons could enjoy the free concert and keep singing along.

David sang 5 of the band's hits when it was all said and done before waltzing out of the joint.

BTW ... Bon Jovi goes on tour in May, but we're pretty sure Bryan will be back on keys and backup vocals. For now.

Don't let these two almost identical images of Trevor Noah make you feel anything less than incredible ... discover your superpower and see if you can figure out the differences between these two super similar images!

Hulkamania is about run wild on 'Monday Night Raw' ... for the first time in years.

The WWE legend, Hulk Hogan, will return to 'Raw' on Monday to honor his good friend "Mean" Gene Okerlund, who passed away Wednesday morning.

Hulk and Gene were great friends for decades -- their interviews were classic. Hulk tweeted about Okerlund after his passing saying the guy was "the best partner I ever had."

"We never rehearsed or did anything scripted from a writer. Gene would ask me, 'Hey big man what do u want to do?' I would always answer 'just follow you brother' and it worked from 1980 - 2017. RIP my brother HH."

Unclear exactly how the tribute will play out -- but expect it to be emotional.

As we previously reported, Gene's health went into decline roughly a month ago when he suffered injuries due to a fall at his Florida home.

He was transferred to a nursing home, but was never able to recover.

Okerlund passed away Wednesday morning with his wife, Jeanne, at his side.

He was 76.

"The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Danielle Staub says her estranged hubby's doing everything he can to extend their broken marriage ... purely because he's an attention whore who's trying to torment her.

Danielle was on TMZ Live Friday and did not mince words about why she thinks Marty Caffrey won't give her a divorce, even though HE filed for it last year. As we first reported, cops removed Marty from their Englewood, NJ home Thursday after Danielle got a protective order against him.

She told us how Marty's allegedly been messing with her by toying with different things in their house ... and, generally, making her life a living hell.

Danielle also took a shot at herself though -- not over her marriage -- but over the way she treated her 'Real Housewives' castmates during the last couple of episodes. Bitchiness officially withdrawn.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West looked like the happiest couple in Miami ... embracing and locking lips on the balcony of their killer new pad.

The two were spotted at the South Beach condo Friday ... it's the $14 MILLION purchase Kanye surprised Kim with for Christmas. Our sources say the two plan to split time with their family between their estate in Hidden Hills and the Miami residence.

As for the condo ... it's located in an 18-story building called the "Billionaire Beach Bunker" with 4 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths with 4,700 square feet of living space and a massive terrace. The building is tricked out with a gym, pool and spa.

Not to mention ... the place is just steps from the beach.

By the looks of the pics with Kim at the new pad ... Kanye DEFINITELY won Christmas this year.

Katt Williams' ex-GF, Hazel-E, is ringing in the New Year with a new man -- starting fresh with football star Lucky Whitehead.

The cute new couple hit up Ruth's Chris Steak House in Virginia on New Year's Eve, wining and dining on surf and turf as they snuggled up in a booth. You can tell they're definitely loving each other's company.

After the meal, Lucky showed Hazel the wild side of his hometown of Manassas, VA by partying the night away at Breakers Sky Lounge.

It's a new relationship, but the former 'L&HH' star was already feeling Lucky's vibe ... doing some grinding on her hunky new bae.

Hazel and Katt dated for 2 years before breaking up in March 2016 ... the exes recently tried to rekindle their romance, getting back together and splitting again after only 3 weeks.

We're told Lucky -- who played for the Dallas Cowboys and the NY Jets -- recently slid into Hazel's DMs and she decided to give him a chance. So far, so good.

12:14 PM -- A rep for Instagram tells TMZ the ad has been removed and adds, "We're sorry. This ad was approved by mistake. We reviewed it again and removed it from future delivery in people's feeds."

The company reviews millions of ads each week and sometimes mistakes are made ... that's clearly what happened here -- as the ad violates IG company policy -- and it was taken down.

Demi Lovato just went nuclear on Instagram ... for allowing a disgusting ad fat-shaming women to end up on her feed.

The singer blasted the social media platform Friday with several posts ... going off after a sponsored ad for a mobile game appeared. Demi wasn't having it ... straight-up asking how the mobile app "Game of Sultans" can get away with fat shaming.

You can see in the ad a character on the left labeled as "obese" and the one on the right dubbed "pretty" ... we guess subtlety is not part of the game.

Demi's message -- the ad's wrong on so many levels because it can inflict pain and harm on those who struggle with eating disorders. This, of course, struck too close to home ... Demi's been open about her body image and food shaming herself.

She's adamant, "Keep this bulls*** off mine and other's feeds who could be easily effected by this disgusting advertisement."

Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney has strong opinions on Kevin Hart, Ellen DeGeneres, gay rights and forgiveness.

We got the New York Dem, who's also openly gay, Friday on Capitol Hill, and he made it clear -- Kevin Hart has made "stupid" comments about gay people. That said, he was quick to add that people are capable of change -- something he has seen firsthand on the House floor.

As for Ellen, Maloney praised her for carrying the torch on behalf of the LGBTQ community, but at the same time said she does not speak for the entire group. He says we should celebrate the fact there are many voices and they should all be heard.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is taking her dance routines to our nation's capital -- brushing off her GOP haters and showcasing the dance moves they shaded ... right outside her Congressional office.

The freshly sworn-in Congresswoman from New York posted this clip Friday morning in response to a right-wing Twitter account digging up video of her dancing with friends back in college. Alexandria said, "I hear the GOP thinks women dancing are scandalous. Wait till they find out Congresswomen dance too!"

ICYMI ... an old clip showing AOC happily dancing on a roof with other Boston University students surfaced online Wednesday, the day before she was sworn into Congress. The clip was clearly meant to be a smear, though it actually sparked some strong defenses in support of Alexandria.

We got AOC right after her hallway dance, and she was in good spirits! She even fangirled out for a minute about members of "The Breakfast Club" loving her moves ... before she returned to her congressional duties.

She who dances last ...

Britney Spears is going on an indefinite work hiatus to help care for her dad while he recovers from major health issues ... meaning her new Las Vegas show will be put on ice.

Britney announced her decision Friday, saying she's going to "devote all of her time to her family and their efforts to care for her father during his recovery from a life-threatening illness."

Her dad, Jamie Spears, became seriously ill 2 months ago after his colon spontaneously ruptured and he was rushed to a Vegas hospital. Britney says he was lucky to come out alive ... but he has a very long road ahead.

Spears adds the decision was very tough for her, but makes it clear ... she will not be performing in her new "Britney: Domination" show, which she recently landed residency for at MGM's Park Theater.

Jamie is responsible for saving Britney's life back in 2007, when he said he feared he would wake up one morning and get a call from the coroner. He devoted his life to her and is largely responsible for her dramatic turnaround, both personally and professionally.

He became Britney's conservator in 2008 and still serves in that role to this very day.

Beyonce thrilled fans by finally revealing the dress she wore when she and Jay-Z renewed their vows, but the biggest surprise is she went discount for the gown! Well ... a Beyonce discount, anyway.

TMZ's learned she paid a little more than $10k for her gorgeous white Thelma gown by designer Galia Lahav -- $10,300 to be exact. A lot of money for most of us, for sure, but pennies for a queen.

We're told her stylist went to Lahav's flagship store in April 2018 to purchase the dress, and the designer was made aware the gown MIGHT be used for the couple's 10-year anniversary vow renewal ... but it wasn't a sure thing.

So, it came as a surprise to Galia -- just like everyone else -- when Beyonce shared a split-second shot of the dress at the couple's vow renewal ceremony in her 2018 video recap.

We're told Beyonce's style team has worked with Lahav in the past and bought other items from the store, but this was the first time she was seen wearing the brand.
