1026_vince_mcmahon_connecticut_getty_bnVince McMahon just piledrived the state of Connecticut ... and won -- a judge has ruled that state officials have no right to turn away voters who sport WWE clothing to the polls on Tuesday.  

It's a quick victory for McMahon ... who filed legal papers earlier this week, after the Conn. Secretary of the State issued an order empowering election officials to turn WWE-clothing wearers away from polls ... simply because his wife is running for U.S. Senate.

McMahon -- who owns the WWE -- released a statement saying, "I am pleased that Connecticut voters have had their freedom of expression to wear WWE merchandise and their right to vote restored."

This time around, Cannon says the experience is "absolutely emotional" -- adding, "the greatest gift on earth is a child."

Woman in Charlie Sheen Hotel Room Will Press Case

Capri Anderson

We've also learned Anderson, aka Christina Walsh, has already lawyered up, hiring a high-profile Beverly Hills attorney -- not Gloria Allred.  

Our sources say Anderson claims after she locked herself in the bathroom, Charlie tried getting in and began repeatedly punching the door.  She alleges she feared for her life.

We're told Anderson wants the Pitkin County D.A. to attempt to violate Charlie's probation in the domestic violence case and she plans to fly to Apsen in the next few days to make her case.

Sources in Pitkin County tell us as far as the D.A. is concerned, any complaint that criminal activity occurred in New York must be filed in New York, not Pitkin County.  We're told, however, that if Anderson flies to Aspen, the D.A. has "an open-door policy" and would see her.

As one person on her team told TMZ, beyond the Pitkin case, "We're weighing our legal options."

Law enforcement sources in NYC tell TMZ ... when cops interviewed Anderson at the hotel, she did not say she felt Charlie was holding her against her will.

Anderson tells us, "Waves 4 water are my heroes. They get things done ... and yes, Playboy wrote them a check when I shot the cover (Jan. 2011 issue) directly for 25Gs."

Pam adds, "I've also donated personally. I wish I could do more.  Indonesia, Haiti and Pakistan are all in need of these filters. Spread the word!"

1028_tyra_banks_EX_TMZ-01Tyra Banks has been granted a permanent restraining order against a "mentally unstable celebrity stalker" who has allegedly been targeting Tyra and her family since 2006.

As we previously reported, Tyra believes Williams poses a serious threat to her safety ... citing that he's left several items on her property in the past ... and just last month, he was arrested for trespassing at Tyra's home.

Sources connected with Capri Anderson, aka Christina Walsh, tell TMZ her lawyer contacted one of Charlie's attorneys.  Sources tell us Capri's lawyer sent an email to legal pit bull Marty Singer yesterday ... informing Singer that Capri has lawyered up.  We're told Singer's response was simply, "Ok. So what?"

Capri claims Charlie threatened her in the hotel room, although she made no mention of this to NYC cops. 

We're guessing this one won't be as easy as Rachel Uchitel.

In the docs, filed in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ -- Forstmann claims Agate is such a bad guy that he used "drugs and prostitutes" to lure in customers for his printing business.

Forstmann claims Agate's business failed as a result -- and he's become so desperate for cash, that he's made up lies about Forstmann in an attempt to then extort him. 

As for Agate's accusations that Ted obtained "inside information" from Roger Federer to gamble on tennis matches -- Forstmann says that's all BS too ... and he has the phone records to prove it.

Forstmann's rep, Michael Sitrick, tells TMZ that Forstmann will ask the court to strike Agate's claims in their entirety.

1004_staub_EX_TMZ_01
A TMZ photog saw the whole thing go down just minutes ago -- as Danielle was served for a defamation lawsuit her ex-boyfriend Steve Zalewski is bringing against her.

Danielle was just starting down the red carpet at a Halloween event in Woodridge, NJ when the process server walked up with an envelope and said, "Here, Danielle ... you've been served."

1029_staub_tmz_video_v2Danielle was stunned, but didn't miss a beat -- she simply handed the envelope to her publicist and continued down the red carpet into the party.

According to sources, Zalewski is suing Danielle for defamation
because she has repeatedly accused him of secretly shooting a
sex tape of her -- which he denies doing.

'Bad Girls' Chick -- Shoppin' Her OTHER Sex Tape...!!!!

1026_erica_langston_Tmz_EXWhat do you do when one of your three-way sex tape partners blocks the sale of the flick? If you're "Bad Girls Club" hell-raiser Erica Langston ... you simply sell your OTHER sex tape. Duh.
Sources tell TMZ Langston and one member of the ménage à trois -- her boyfriend Adrian -- tried to sell their masterpiece to Vivid Entertainment head honcho Steve Hirsch earlier this week ... but sex tape partner numero tres threw a wrench in the deal.

We're told #3 -- who happens to be one of Langston's "BGC" castmates -- demanded way too much scratch for the tape ... around $200k ... so the deal went sour.

But our sources say Langston had an ace in the hole -- another sex tape with Adrian ... sans her financially demanding XXX cohort. 

We're told Hirsch made a new offer for the two-person porno ... and that the deal is all but sealed.

Don't Blame Eva Longoria for BMW Crash.....!!!

Probably not good news for the other guy -- who recently filed a lawsuit against Eva, claiming it was all her fault. Eva vehemently denies it was her fault.

TMZ obtained a photo of Sheen wearing the watch at his dinner party with Capri Anderson just hours before he lost the timepiece.

But team Oksana objected, arguing Mel has another nanny who is perfectly capable of transporting Lucia.  And Oksana claimed in her legal papers she feels Mel already has too much visitation.

In the end, the judge kept the status quo, which means Mel must return Lucia tonight.

1027_tila_tequilla_EX_TMZ_03
This is refreshing ... Tila Tequila just convinced a judge someone was harassing her, because she just won a restraining order against a photog who claimed Tila kidnapped his alleged girlfriend.
 
According to docs filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Tila wanted Garry Sun ordered to stay 100 yards away from her ... but the judge said 10 yards would do. That's funny on so many levels.

As we first reported yesterday, Garry filed an application for a restraining against Tila -- claiming she kidnapped his so-called girlfriend Shyla Jennings on October 19 and then threatened to kill him.

Shyla has since told us Garry's claims are totally BS ... and that she has "no idea who Garry Sun is."

Security quickly arrived to the Hot Topic and ordered the kids to leave the store.

But sources close to Angelina tell us the reality star has a welt on the back of the head which proves her story. We're told Angelina is still talking to police to figure out her next move.
