Bieber, Usher -- We Need Somebody To Love ... On A Jury

Justin Bieber and Usher are on the hot seat again for their song, "Somebody to Love," because some pretty powerful judges just ruled ... the duo may have ripped off another artist. The Bieber/Usher collaboration is "Somebody to Love," recorded in 2010. A guy named Devin Copeland, known as De Rico, and his songwriting partner Mareio Overton claim the famous pair ripped off their 2008 song by the same name.   Problem for Copeland and Overton ... a federal judge ruled the songs weren't similar at all and booted them out of court in 2014.  But a federal appeals court just ruled, the first judge was way off base, concluding, the Bieber/Usher hook have an "almost identical rhythm and strikingly similar melody."  So the case now goes back for a full-blown trial where they're seeking $10 million in damages. Listen to the songs. If you were on the jury, would you nail the Biebs?

Floyd Mayweather Gets $15,000 Crystal Cake ... At Miami Victory Party

Floyd Mayweather put cake to camera this weekend ... to show off a custom dessert at a belated Pacquiao victory party ... a dessert that's worth $15,000!!!! It all went down at LIV nightclub in Miami -- where Mayweather was partying with a bunch of people from his TMT crew -- including DJ Jay Bling, Ricki Brazil and P-Reala.  At one point, Mayweather was presented with a 90-pound custom cake from Divine Delicacies (coordinated by his friend Ms. Bling) ... a lemon rum cake that contained more than 10,000 Swarovski crystals!!!! But get this ... we're told Floyd LOVED the look of the cake so much, he didn't want anybody to eat it until the party was over. At one point Floyd said, "I'm serious about nobody cutting my cake!"  We're told everyone obliged ... but when Floyd finally gave people the green light, only a few select people were given permission to dig in -- and didn't come close to finishing the whole thing.   As for Manny ... no cake, no belt, bu

Mayweather's Marriage Proposal -- I'll Love You Forever ... But Your Attitude Sucks!

It's what every little girl dreams of ... a marriage proposal over text message ... complete with crazy Hollywood bribes and a demand that you change your crappy attitude, stat.  And that's exactly what Floyd Mayweather fired off to Shantel Jackson back in April '14 ... according to new court docs obtained by TMZ Sports.  Jackson put the proposal on display in new legal papers filed in her nuclear war with her ex-fiancee ... which shows how Floyd tried to convince Shantel into getting engaged for a 2nd time.  "This is what I offer to you.

"I promise I will get you in 3 A list movies this year and I'm willing to go to counseling to make us work and you can get the stuff you want and I'm willing to change but I need you to have a better attitude." How romantic, right?! Shantel says she shot down the offer (shocker) ... and included several text messages d
