Kat Von D Gears Up for New Season of “LA Ink”

She’s had monumental success over the past five years, and tonight (July 28) Kat Von D will debut her new season of “LA Ink.”

The tattoo artist/author has experienced a ton of good fortune over the past nine months, including a successful gallery opening, book tour, house fire, and engagement, and it’s all fair game for her reality show.

Crazy enough, given her breakup with Jesse James, Kat joked that her man was going to dump her during a recent taping.

Ms. Von D got a tattoo of Jesse’s 3rd grade school photo, and when she showed it to her beau, she nervously joked, “I thought you were going to tell me that you were breaking up with me… I’m just kidding.”

Jesse James to Cops: Photog is Stalking Me

TMZ.Com tells us that Jesse James made a citizen’s arrest just a few minutes ago … TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us a paparazzo called Long Beach cops moments ago and reported that his car had been vandalized outside of West Coast Choppers by Jesse James.

Cops arrived at West Coast Choppers and Jesse claimed the accusing photog had been stalking him. Jesse and the photog made citizen’s arrests on each other.

The cops did not take either person into custody, but they are investigating.

Jesse James Huge Sexual Harassment Settlement

TMZ has learned … a former high level, female executive with West Coast Choppers settled a sexual harassment lawsuit against Jesse James and West Coast Choppers for more than $700,000 in 2007, while he was married to Sandra Bullock … according to documents.

The woman claimed between 2006 – 2007, Jesse James repeatedly made sexual advances, which allegedly included sexual acts.

The woman kept several suggestive emails from Jesse. In one email in 2007, which is included in the file, Jesse wrote to the woman, “Need anything before I split?” She responded, “Some Tums.” Jesse replied, “I have some special fluid that you can drink and it makes it all better ….”

And, she claims after an oral encounter with Jesse, she kept a telltale Clintonesque T-shirt.

The woman quit in 2007 and hired Gloria Allred‘s law firm to represent her. No lawsuit was ever filed, but on September 27, 2007, the matter settled for $725,000.

In the settlement docs, Jesse neither admitted nor denied the allegations
