Intruder Arrested at Frances Bean Cobain's House

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Cobain's housesitter came across the man when she returned home today. We're told the man -- a white male in his 20s -- claimed he knew Cobain and she had given him permission to stay there.

Original Charlie Brown Angry About Peanuts Remake

56-year-old Peter Robbins -- who voiced Charlie in the 1960s "Peanuts" specials -- telling us, "What's the point? If it's to reintroduce the character of Charlie Brown to a new generation, it's been passed on successfully for 46 years. That's the beauty of it."

Robbins -- famous for voicing Charlie's trademark "AAUGGGHH!!" -- says, "If they were so creative why don't they come up with some new characters."

He adds, "It just seems to me they're trying to steal the thunder of these great classics, and from what I can tell, they're not qualified."

"It's perfect the way it is."

But not every former member of the "Peanuts" gallery is a hater -- the original voice of Pig-Pen (Geoffrey Ornstein) tells us, he can't wait to see it.

But he'll have to wait a while -- it's not due out til 2015. Good grief. more on this story

The Bachelor Winner Courtney Robertson Returns Engagement Ring

Robertson -- who called it quits with "Bachelor" Ben Flajnik last week -- hit up a Neil Lane jewelry store in L.A. Sunday to say sayonara to the 3-carat rock.

A man named Gholamreza Rezai filed the lawsuit against Tyga and his music company, claiming Tyga signed a one-year lease in June, agreeing to pay $16,000 per month to live in the luxurious pad ... but he stopped paying rent last month.

Rezai claims Tyga expressed a desire to move out by September 30th -- informing Rezai that fans kept showing up at his front door ... and Tyga was worried the home didn't offer enough security.

According to the suit, Rezai refused to terminate the lease agreement and demanded September's rent -- but Tyga still wouldn't ante up.
