The man accused of killing "King of the Hill" voice actor Jonathan Joss is claiming self-defense -- according to his lawyer.

Attorney Nico LaHood says Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez -- known as "Freddy" to friends and family -- is pleading not guilty, and insists he's innocent, adding ... "It’s difficult for anyone who's been accused of something they didn’t do, especially murder."

Alvarez was arrested earlier this month after allegedly shooting and killing his neighbor, Joss, during a heated argument in San Antonio, Texas, according to cops. The late actor’s husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, immediately dubbed it a hate crime -- claiming homophobic slurs were hurled by Alvarez before the fatal shot.

Pacman Jones went off on cops during his public intoxication arrest earlier this month -- unleashing a verbal tirade on them before throwing elbows at one ... and his wild behavior was all captured on police video that TMZ Sports has just obtained.

Cops initially stopped the former NFL star in Covington, Ky. on June 7 to question him about a dispute at a nearby bar ... and almost immediately, Jones became combative.

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... the 'Addams Family' star sold her Silver Lake estate for $4 million.

Therabody has a proud history of innovation and collaboration, and we take intellectual property rights very seriously. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these allegations and look forward to sharing the facts through the appropriate legal process.”

Celebrity-approved chiropractor and MoveU founder Dr. Mike Wasilisin is cracking more than backs ... 'cause he's taking legal action against Therabody for allegedly stealing his designs.

This is what we know ... in the Tuesday complaint obtained by TMZ, Dr. Mike -- whose clients include Antonio Brown, top comedians, talk show hosts, athletes and Bollywood stars -- says he shook hands with Therabody founder Dr. Jason Wersland years ago ... just to have that deal thrown out.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ … Utah prosecutors leveled three new charges against the reality star on Tuesday -- including aggravated sexual assault, aggravated assault, and domestic violence in the presence of a child.

Per the docs ... Cashel slapped and choked his ex-girlfriend while sexually assaulting her last November. This after he allegedly withheld any physical contact for a month because the alleged victim asked him to get a job to help support their child.

Eva wasn’t just any beach bunny -- she was a chic one, rocking her bikini with an unbuttoned light blue shirt, fedora, and shades.

She was all about that ocean life -- splashing around, flashing a big grin, soaking her hair, and living it all the way up. Basically, beach day: conquered!

Safe to say, Eva’s got summer on lock ... and next stop: the Bezos-Sanchez wedding!

Rapper Silentó began his 30-year prison sentence this week with an unrecognizable appearance, sporting a completely shaved head.

Silentó's expression is emotionless in the mug shot, and his T-shirt appears oversized and hanging off his neck.

In a stunning move, the day before closing arguments in Diddy's federal criminal trial in NYC, prosecutors have pulled back on some key testimony during the trial -- specifically attempted kidnapping, attempted arson, and aiding and abetting sex trafficking.

Prosecutors said in a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, the Government is following His Honor's instructions to "streamline" the jury instructions.

Prosecutors are still arguing Diddy allegedly kidnapped former employee Capricorn Clark (who was taken to a building and given a lie detector test to determine if she stole Diddy's jewelry), and Cassie (when she was allegedly held at the London Hotel) -- but, they're simply suggesting the "attempted kidnapping" language be removed from the instructions to the jury.

Terrifying scene in Michigan -- a helicopter took a tumble and in a catastrophic crash ... right next to a lakefront restaurant, and the whole thing was caught on camera by stunned diners.

There was total panic at Cabana Blue Lakefront Sports Bar & Grill -- diners sprinted from their seats to the wreckage, trying to help the chopper’s passengers after the horrifying crash.
