Shauna Sand's husband Romain Chavent is fuming over allegations he beat his wife and threatened to sell naked photos of her children -- chalking the devastating allegations up to Shauna being "completely crazy ... like a buffalo."
In what turned out to be one hell of a candid phone call, Romain ferociously defended himself -- and then proceeded to slam Shauna, claiming her own mother doesn't like her, she fights with half the hairstylists in town and that he's going to blacklist her from the Hollywood nightclub scene.
Here's the transcription -- you just gotta read it:
TMZ: What's going on with this restraining order?
Romain: Yesterday, she called me and said, "I'm at court filing for divorce. You need to come tomorrow morning at 8:30 to sign for divorce or I'm putting a restraining order on you." I thought she was joking!
TMZ: And when did you hear that she actually did it?
Romain: I just heard. The first time I heard about it was on TMZ. Someone called and told me to look at the website.
TMZ: These are some crazy allegations! Are they true?
Romain: SHE'S completely crazy – completely! Of course they are not true.
TMZ: So you didn't take pictures of her kids?
Romain: The pictures are not true. Of course not. This is not the first time - when she was divorcing with Lorenzo, she was making allegations he wanted her to be a prostitute!
TMZ: OK, so you know all this but yet you still chose to be with her?
Romain: She's the nicest person on earth, but she can be crazy. Like a buffalo. She just goes mad. She's bipolar.
TMZ: What about that you punched her breasts?

Shauna Sand has finally had it with hubby Romain Chavent -- the guy who allegedly beat the crap out of her this weekend -- and now she's filing for divorce. Again. Kinda.
A day after Shauna filed a shocking restraining order against him accusing Romain of a disturbing history of violence, Shauna went back to court today to ask the judge to re-open her divorce case against Romain.
Just last week, Shauna and Romain's divorce became official -- but the couple went to court the next day to have it called off. Shauna claims Romain pressured her into having the divorce canceled so he could keep his green card.
Shauna has accused Romain of choking her on multiple occasions, throwing her against a wall, and threatening to sell nude photos he took of her young daughters when Shauna wasn't around.

Shauna Sand is worthless -- just ask her latest ex-husband.
According to court documents filed last Friday, Shauna and Romain Chavent finally really officially are divorced. But here's the best part: Romain had to fill in his gross monthly income as well as Shauna's -- for each he wrote $0.00.
So for all of you out there that said Shauna Sand dresses like a working girl, guess you were wrong.

Madonna is pretty much free to swing A-Rod's way whenever she wants now.
A UK family court gave the go-ahead for her divorce from Guy Ritchie this morning in just minutes. A statement given in court said Madge petitioned for the divorce on the grounds of Guy's "unreasonable behaviour" and said the behavior was "continuing." Also, the hearing revealed the couple haven't lived at the same address in months.
The divorce should be totally buttoned up in about six weeks.

The Madonna-Guy Ritchie divorce might already be settled, with Guy telling Madonna she can keep her Kabbalah coin all to herself.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Madge won't pay out a penny or a pound of her $500 mil fortune to Guy, but their sons (David and Rocco) will split their time between London and New York. An announcement on the settlement could come by the end of the month, says a source.
We've been told Guy could still do pretty well in the divorce -- since Brit divorce law says he's due half.

Linda Hogan's lawyers are taking another vicious swing at Hulk, because Linda says he's purposely sold his many trademarks -- including his wrestling names -- to his best friend to keep her greedy cougar paws off the profits.
In a pile of papers filed in Pinellas County Court, Linda says Hulk handed over the rights to his Hulk Hogan brands (like Hollywood Hulk, Hulkster, Hulkamania), grill, energy drink and more to his best friend Eric Bischoff for an insane discount. Linda's pissed because these are tons of assets she now can't cash in on.
Hulk's attorney, David Houston, told us: "There has been no siphoning of money -- if Linda has to ask again, we'll be more than happy to provide the same answer."
Linda's also trying to keep Hulk's handlebar mustache the hell away from her mother -- because the Hulkster is convinced Linda's been sending their old furniture (from her many remodels of their Florida home) to mommy dearest to keep ... and he wants 'em back.
We're convinced the money fight between these two will never see a three count.

Guy Ritchie knows if you want to have a low key night out ... just hit the town with two huge actors.
The soon-to-be ex Mr. Madonna hung with Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr., his "Sherlock Holmes" stars, in London on Thursday.
Blowing off steam during a messy divorce is elementary, my dear Watson.

The curtains have been pulled back on mega-producer Brian Grazer's divorce battle -- and let's just say working with Opie sure does pay.
According to docs filed by estranged wife Gigi's accountant, Grazer's cash haul per year is $28 million, 13 mil of which came from just his production co. salary. The rest comes from "corporate distributions ... perquisites ... as well as interest and dividend income." That's a lotta skinny black ties.
Gigi is asking for nearly a million per month in child and spousal support ($988,184), including a grand per month for "furniture and appliance replacement" at their Hawaii house. She spends $7K for "fine art" every month ... just for their San Remo pad. But here's the good news for Brian -- she's only asking for $42 a month to clean the New York pad.
BTW: Who knew there was a computer program called DissoMaster to chop up marital assets? Brilliant.

The nuclear divorce between Christie Brinkley and Peter Cook is ovah -- at least officially.
The final nail in that coffin was filed this week in Suffolk County Court.
Unofficially, buzz is Cook could be in hot water for blabbing to Babwa Walters about the breakup after they signed a confidentiality pact. But we're told by people in the know the punishment for Petey's palaver will be minimal, and probably nothing.
Except for losing the last shreds of his reputation as a human being.

Star Jones just dropped a big one.
She and Al Reynolds were supposed to be in court yesterday for the start of their big divorce -- except it didn't happen because they're settling out of court. Her rep says the pair -- who got married in the subsidized wedding of the century -- have reached an "amicable settlement" and are "moving on."
Especially now that Star's got her new meal ticket -- a chef.

Hilary Duff's dad will be spending up to ten days in jail -- all because of a fight over cash for Hilary's birthday party.
According to Houston Chronicle, mama Duff dragged her ex into court today -- and this is no joke -- to ask for $25,000 to throw a party for Hilary's 21st birthday -- because that's what they spent on Haylie's 21st bday two years ago.
After the judge told Bob he had to shell out $12,500 for the bash -- he decided to sentence Bob to 10 days in jail for contempt of court for selling assets without court approval to the tune of $367,537.
When Bob was cuffed, mama Duff supposedly mumbled "This isn't what I wanted." Apparently all she wanted was a whole lot of money -- something her kids have already made themselves.

Looks like Emily Robison of the Dixie Chicks will be attending the local honky-tonk alone from now on.
Charlie Robison's divorce from Emily was finalized yesterday, because the marriage had "become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities." But just because they don't get along doesn't mean the divorce will get nasty! The two will be joint managing conservators of their three children -- meaning they'll split duties right down the middle -- and they'll dice up their estates just the same.
Charlie filed in January, totally under the radar. The two were married in 1999.

Sources tell us Charlie Sheen has buried a Bev Hills doctor in small change, and Charlie's people think they know who dropped the dime.
Dr. Peter Waldstein, a Bev Hills pediatrician, has treated Charlie and Denise's two kids in the past. Charlie was pissed that the doc was immunizing the kiddies, because he doesn't believe in it. Charlie sent Waldstein a letter, demanding that he no longer treat the kids, but the Dr. fired his own letter back saying he would treat them if they needed medical attention, no matter what.
So, there was this outstanding $380 bill that Charlie paid by messenger today. It was a big box filled with $380, all in nickels. By our calculations that's 7,600 nickels.
We're told the Dr. is donating the loot to the March of Dimes.
Charlie's rep, Stan Rosenfield, said, "Dr. Waldstein should spend more time treating his patients than leaking stories to TMZ." Rosenfield adds, "Maybe Dr. Waldstein would like to be featured in John McCain's next television commercial [famous for being famous]."
For the record, we're not saying who gave us the story.

A-Rod is swinging back against C-Rod in their divorce case, and here's the pitch: You'll eat that prenup and like it.
Alex Rodriguez filed his response to wife Cynthia's divorce filing, and while he slams any suggestion of infidelity as "immaterial and impertinent," he doesn't deny that they were true. What's more, he says that he's going to hold Cyn to their prenup, the terms of which aren't precisely known, but are said to be in A-Rod's favor.
Meanwhile, he does admit that Cynthia is a "loving and nurturing mother" and will agree to help pay support for their two kids.
One other lil' tidbit: A-Rod clearly thinks he and the Yankees are going to the playoffs, saying that he''s required to "travel extensively ... more often than not through the baseball playoffs in October."
We've called Cynthia's people -- so far, nothing.

Nick Carter's mama was arrested this morning, allegedly over a really nasty divorce hearing.
Here's how it went down. Jane Carter, aka Jane Holcomb, aka Jane Schnek, was divorced from a guy named John Holcomb. There are still some legal odds and ends to deal with, including an allegation that she trashed the house they once shared.
John filed legal papers forcing Jane into court, but she didn't appear. So the Florida judge wants her butt in jail for not appearing and he's ordered a bench warrant. She was picked up today in Sumter County at a cemetery where the construction company she works for was doing a project. Perfect.
It ain't Donna Reed, folks.
