Sister Wives Divorce
TLC's "Sister Wives" star Kody Brown has traded one wife for another ... TMZ has learned.

Polygamy is confusing so here's the deal. Kody claims to have 4 wives, but he's only legally allowed to marry one. He married Meri before meeting any of the other women, but we've learned he decided he no longer wanted her as the official wife.

As for why Kody made the switch ... we're told he wants to bring Robyn's kids into the family, where they'll have more security.

Warren Sapp

Released Without Bail

... Don't Talk to Victims!

2/2/2015 3:25 PM PST BY TMZ STAFF

020215_warren_sapp_launchWarren Sapp has just been released from custody without bail ... and is allowed to leave the state and go back home to Florida after a judge decided he's not a flight risk.

Sapp just appeared before a judge in Maricopa County, AZ to face charges of soliciting a prostitute and assault. 

During the hearing the judge says there was proper cause for his arrest -- but decided to let him go on his own recognizance because he has no record of failing to appear in other court cases. 

The judge told Sapp he is forbidden from contacting the victims and may not return to the scene of the alleged crime -- but he did get the green light to leave the state and go home. 

Sapp is due back in court on February 23rd.

Exclusive Details

Suge Knight
has just been charged with murder in the death of his friend, and sources say a videotape will be a key piece of evidence.

The L.A. County D.A. just filed the charges in connection with the death of Terry Carter ... who was killed Thursday after Suge ran him over in Compton.   

Suge ran over an adversary -- Cle "Bone" Sloan -- and Carter was accidentally struck and killed.

In addition to murder, Suge was charged with attempted premeditated murder, hit and run resulting in death, and hit and run resulting in injury -- all felonies.

As we previously reported, deputies obtained a video of the incident. Law enforcement sources say the video captures "a portion" of what went down, but authorities tell us it significantly strengthens the case against Suge.

Suge's bail was revoked Monday ... the bail commissioner decided he's a flight risk and might intimidate witnesses.

If convicted, Suge faces life.

EXCLUSIVE

0202-giovanni-ribisi-agyness-deyn-divorce-TMZ-01Giovanni Ribisi is ending his marriage the same way he started it -- totally under the radar.

The "Avatar" and "Saving Private Ryan" star filed to divorce actress Agyness Deyn, citing irreconcilable differences in court docs ... obtained by TMZ.

Giovanni filed in January, but according to the docs the couple separated on December 28. They got married in June 2012 with a totally un-Hollywood ceremony -- reportedly doing the deed at the County Registrar's Office.

They don't have kids ... so their main issue will be splitting up property and assets.

This was Deyn's first marriage and Ribisi's second.

update_grey_gray_barLindsay
 and Dina Lohan have sued Fox News Channel and Sean Hannity claiming they were smeared on the network when someone on Hannity's show claimed LiLo and Dina snorted coke together.

In the lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- there was a discussion about recently deceased celebs, including Philip Seymour Hoffman, regarding celebrity drug use. The panel was discussing who might die next.

Michelle Fields said, "Lindsay Lohan's mom is doing cocaine with her" -- insinuating Lindsay would be the next to go.

Lindsay calls it "malicious innuendo." For the record, she's admitted to doing coke. She also claimed her mom was on coke in a hysterical call she made to her dad in 2012.

0202-main-lindsay-dina-launch
The discussion occurred in February of last year, just days after Hoffman's death.

LiLo and Dina claim it was "a direct smear on the character/reputation of Lindsay and Dina."
