Kesha and Dr. Luke produce two rival lawsuits

THERE'S A NEW music feud and it's not Simon vs. Garfunkel, East Coast vs. West Coast or Adam vs. Blake.

It's 27-year-old Kesha (a/k/a Kesha Rose Sebert) vs. 41-year-old super-producer Dr. Luke (a/k/a Lukasz Sebastian "Luke" Gottwald).

According to a lawsuit filed by Kesha, and reported by TMZ.com, the "Animal" singer was sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused for nearly 10 years by Dr. Luke, with whom she signed when she was 18.

Kesha claims Dr. Luke made repeated sexual advances toward her and says he would force her to use drugs and alcohol to remove her defenses.

Among her claims: She was forced to snort something before flying and the doctor forced himself on her while while she was drugged.

Another time, while drinking with Dr. Luke, he gave her "sober pills" (not a real thing). The next day, Kesha claims she woke up naked, sick and sore in Dr. Luke's bed, clueless how she got there.

("Law & Order: SVU" will never run out of stories.)

Kesha claims Dr. Luke said to her: "You are not that pretty, you are not that talented, you are just lucky to have me."

Nothing like a supportive boss.

Kesha, who's being repped by famed lawyer Mark Geragos, is now seeking to get out of her contract with Dr. Luke.

As for Luke, he filed a counter-suit, saying Kesha is a liar who's only trying to get out of her contract.

Luke says the whole case is being concocted by Kesha's mom and her new management firm. Luke says he's had a copy of a draft of Kesha's abuse lawsuit for months, claiming she was trying to extort him with the court case unless he let her go.

Luke's lawyer, Christine Lepera, says Kesha and her mom have already admitted the statements are false.

E! News reports that Iggy Azalea recently got into a screaming match with a paparazzo at a supermarket.

And it wasn't because he had too many items in the express line.

The pap snapped some shots of Iggy buying food and the rapper snapped, "I hope you have Ebola, I hope you die - you're a bleeping bleep."

(Tattle note: For future insult reference, you really don't want anyone in your supermarket to have Ebola - even though you should be safe even if they sneeze on your produce.)

Later Iggy Instagrammed:

"Something is only 'the way it is' for as long as one ALLOWS it to be. What I'm comfortable consenting a paparazzi do doesn't require anyone's opinion but my own. I don't see why that's hard for some to fathom. Judge me for spazzing if you like but you only saw the 30sec aftermath which was classy in comparison to what he said to us inside the grocery store where we discovered him lying on the floor after we had repeatedly & politely asked him to leave multiple locations during the course of the day."

News flash: Iggy Azalea buys food.

* Alicia Keys held a protest in NYC yesterday to raise awareness about the 200-plus Nigerian schoolgirls who were kidnapped by Boko Haram militants in April.

Yesterday marked six months since the girls were abducted. Keys kicked off a protest with 30 others at the consulate general of Nigeria, chanting, "Bring back our girls" and "When do we want them? Now! Now! Alive!"

Keys, who is pregnant, said in an interview that she felt touched to take action because she is a mother. Her son, Egypt, turned 4 yesterday.

* Christina Aguilera will be returning to "The Voice" next season, replacing Gwen Stefani - because you can't have more than one female judge at a time.

Pharrell, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will return. Gwen may return down the road.

* Although it's unlikely that Robert Downey Jr. will star in another "Iron Man" movie, he is expected to team up with (or against?) Chris Evans in "Captain America 3," which is expected to be an adaptation of Marvel's "Civil War" saga, which put Cap and Shellhead on different sides of the government's plan to create a superhero registry.

Tattle doesn't think it's ever a bad idea to put Downey in a movie, but one has to wonder what the folks at Warner Bros. are thinking. Their not-so-popular Superman and their new Batman and Wonder Woman are teaming up in a DC movie not directed by Christopher Nolan. That was risky enough. But at least the 2016 comic-book landscape was free of the wildly popular Iron Man.

Not anymore.

* Chris Rock will host and Prince will perform on the Nov. 1 "Saturday Night Live."

* According to Variety, Sofia Coppola will re-team with Bill Murray ("Lost in Translation") for a Christmas TV special in which Murray will sing Christmas carols.

We kept waiting for the punch-line but it appears to be serious.
