ARNOLD & MARIA
It's NOT
Over Yet

Exclusive
0520-arnold-maria-getty
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver are in no rush to get divorced ... and there are 2 lines of speculation -- either they're so rich it doesn't matter, or they may actually get back together.

Several sources connected to the former couple tell TMZ ... neither Arnold nor Maria feel any urgency to get a judge to make the divorce official, even though all of the money and custody issues have been worked out.  The reason, they say, is simple ... They're worth approximately $400 million -- which they agree they'll split down the middle -- so it's not like they need the divorce to buy a house. 

Short story -- neither one of them is in a hurry to pull the trigger, because it will have NO IMPACT on their day-to-day lives.

And other sources say there's a different reason why they haven't gotten divorced -- they are not done with each other, and there's still a chance they'll get back together.  Our sources say both Arnold and Maria have sent mixed messages to their friends and family -- at times saying they want the divorce, and other times talking about how they still feel love for their longtime partner.

One source says ... lately Maria is more amenable to divorce because she's hearing that Arnold has a girlfriend.

FYI, Arnold and Maria were together last weekend at their daughter Christina's graduation ... looking pretty happy.

Stay tuned ...

'Parenthood' Producer
Fatass, Racist Man-Nanny
Corrupted My Kids

Exclusive
0520-brian-grazer-tmzLegendary producer Brian Grazer wants to strip his ex-wife of sole nanny-hiring powers -- claiming the last "manny" she hired was a fat slob and a racist whose attitudes have rubbed off on the kids.

Grazer -- who divorced his wife Gigi back in 2009 -- filed the declaration in new legal docs, claiming the 20-something-year-old man she hired to look after their sons (aged 9 and 13) was the worst possible influence imaginable.

According to the docs, the manny in question was terribly educated, disrespectful toward Grazer and others, used extremely foul language and was also a racist.

Grazer says the manny resigned a few weeks ago, but Grazer still believes the bad habits have rubbed off on his kids.  The legal docs do not give specifics about the offensive things the manny and the kids said.

Grazer now wants a judge to modify his and Gigi's parenting agreement, giving both parents equal say in who takes care of their kids ... and not just nannies either ... teachers and coaches too.

Grazer -- who pays Gigi $40,000 a month in child support -- also wants more custodial time.

Porsha Williams
Kordell Changed the Locks On Me!

Exclusive
0516_porsha_kordell_01
Kordell Stewart REAALLLY doesn't wanna see his estranged wife Porsha Williams anymore ... 'cause the ex-NFL star just changed the locks on the family home to keep her out ... this according to Porsha.

The "Real Housewives of ATL" star just filed new docs in her divorce war with Kordell ... and it appears the nasty split just got even NASTIER.

According to the docs, filed in family court in Georgia and obtained by TMZ, Porsha claims Kordell has locked her out of their residence on multiple occasions ... and she had to have her lawyer beg Kordell's people for a key.

Sources close to the situation tell us Kordell isn't playing ball -- and hasn't forked over a key.

But there's more ... according to the docs, Porsha tried to work things out with Kordell in a mediation session, but she claims he blew the whole thing off ... and called it a "waste of everyone's time."

Porsha wants a judge to force Kordell to either allow her to use the house ... or pay her enough cash so she can get a "suitable alternative residence."

Sources tell us Porsha is currently living with her mom in ATL -- guess she feels it's just not a "suitable residence" for a grown woman.

Calls to Kordell's people have not been returned.

Deion's Estranged Wife
Allegations of
Credit Card Abuse

Exclusive

Deion Sanders
' estranged wife would've SCOFFED at a $6k credit card bill when she was happily married to a rich guy ... but now, she's RUNNING from it, this according a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.

We've learned ... Capital One has slapped Pilar Sanders with a big, fat lawsuit in Texas for allegedly failing to make payments on a $6,160.25 bill ... an amount she used to consider chump change.

We've been reporting for months ... Pilar and Deion are at WAR -- and Prime Time even kicked her out of his Texas mansion. Pilar has lawyered up and wants a cut of the NFL legend's fortune, estimated at more than $250 million.

But for now Capital One just wants its $6k ... and according to court docs, the bank says it reached out to Pilar in January, 2013, demanding she cough up the cash ... but she never paid.

Now, C.O. is suing for the full amount plus court costs.

What's in your wallet?

A rep for Pilar tells TMZ ... any financial strain Pilar is under is because Deion hasn't paid her the money she's owed in a timely manner.

Rodney Mullen
Freestyling Again ...
After Filing For Divorce

Exclusive
0516-getty-rodney-mullenSkating pioneer Rodney Mullen is about to put his focus back on freestyling ... the "Godfather of Street Skating" has filed for divorce from his wife of 13 years.

Rodney and Traci Mullen were married in April of 2000, and have no kids. They signed a prenup a month before the wedding according to divorce docs ... and Rodney wants it enforced -- in particular, the section that frees him from paying spousal support.

Rodney cites irreconcilable differences for the split.

If you've seen kids doing tricks involving kicking and flipping their boards around on the street or at the skatepark, you've seen Mullen's influence -- he either invented them or had them improved upon during his '80s heyday.

Demi to Ashton
What's Mine is Mine ...
What's Yours Is Mine!

Exclusive
0515-demi-moore-ashton-kutcher-tmz
Demi Moore has been like a heat-seeking missile ... squarely aimed at the bank of Ashton Kutcher ... sources connected with the couple tell TMZ.

Our sources say Demi -- who ironically is richer than Ashton -- has demanded spousal support from Ashton.  It's particularly surprising because we're told Demi recently got around $15 million belatedly from ex-hubby Bruce Willis in connection with their divorce.   If the case doesn't settle it's virtually certain a judge would reject Demi's spousal support claim.

Sources say Demi wants Ashton to help pay for the renovations to her New York apartment ... something he's unwilling to do.  BTW ... we're told the apartment (in the ritzy San Remo building) is worth somewhere between $25 mil and $40 mil!

There are other sticking points.  We're told Demi is upset because Ashton got involved in an online business and she feels entitled to part of it.  Problem is ... he got involved AFTER they split, so it's almost certainly his separate property.

Our sources say Ashton is willing to give Demi something to end the battle ... the question is how much?  Demi scored big in her divorce from Bruce Willis -- getting a reported $90 million.  Her net worth is estimated at $150 million.  Ashton's reportedly $10 million behind her.

In the end, our sources say Demi is backing off a bunch of her demands and the case could settle as early as next month.

Puddle of Mudd Singer
ARRESTED
Accused of Battering Ex-Wife

Exclusive
0514_wes_scantlin_01
Puddle of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin was arrested in L.A. last night after cops say he roughed up his ex-wife in front of several witnesses ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... police were called to a business in West Hollywood around 3:30 pm after someone reported Scantlin shook his ex-wife and then tried to drag her by the arm or the shirt.

When cops arrived ... we're told deputies spoke with witnesses and the victim -- and decided to arrest Scantlin for domestic violence.

We're told Scantlin was extremely uncooperative during the arrest -- one source tells us, "He was very mouthy."

Sources tell us Scantlin -- who penned the hits "She Hates Me" and "Blurry" -- is currently in custody and bail has been set at $20,000.

It's been a rough month for Scantlin, who was arrested on May 7 on warrants stemming from his cocaine case.

Michael Lohan
Pays Massive Delinquent
Child Support Bill

Exclusive
0510_michael_dina_01
Michael Lohan
is no longer a deadbeat dad -- not that he's an upstanding one mind you, but at least he's current on his child support.

We got proof he just paid ex-wife Dina Lohan $30,422 in back child support.

And here's how he got there.  Michael was ordered to pay $1,500 per month for his minor children ... but he didn't, so the bill ballooned over the years.

FYI, only one of the Lohan kids -- 16-year-old Cody -- is still underage.  It's likely the back child support also covers the time when Lindsay's lil' sister Ali was a minor (she's 19 now).

Michael paid just in the nick of time ... Dina went to court last month, asking a judge to hold Michael in contempt ... but Michael apparently beat the judge to the punch by cutting the check.

0510_lohan_check
Michael tells TMZ, "I admit I withheld part of [Cody's] child support because I was angry about certain things that were happening ... I was wrong and I'm making things right with Dina and my children."

As for Dina ... she says she's grateful, but needs to know he'll keep paying until Cody becomes an adult.

Terrence Howard
Nasty Divorce War Over
Ex-Wife Gets Bicycle

Exclusive
0507-terrence-howard-michelle-grant-getty
The dust has FINALLY settled in Terrence Howard's bitter divorce -- a judge finalized the split this week, TMZ has learned ... and the "Red Tails" actor made off like a bandit in the property settlement.

According to the divorce order obtained by TMZ, Terrence gets the lion's share of marital property -- including both houses in Pennsylvania and all 25 of his bank accounts.

And the embarrassing part ... Terrence's ex Michelle Ghent has been ordered to return the actor's 2011 Range Rover. (She gets to keep her bike ... and a BMW).

Terrence was ordered to pay Michelle $5,800 a month in spousal support for the next three years -- not a huge sum for someone of Terrence's means. Bottom line: He scored big.

You'll recall, Michelle filed for divorce in February 2011 -- a year after their wedding -- and the split was nasty ... with Michelle accusing Terrence of viciously beating her ... and Terrence accusing her of being a disgusting racist.

On a lighter note ... here's Terrence talking about Oprah's "tig ol' bitties."

Nick Lachey
Best Part of Divorcing Jessica Simpson?
No More Grab Ass w/ Joe!

050813_nick_lachey_bravo_launch

Nick Lachey says the best part about being divorced from Jessica Simpson is that he no longer has to play grab ass under the table ... WITH PAPA JOE!!

Nick and his brother Drew appeared on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen last night ... and dropped some truth bombs about the Simpson family.

Among the highlights ... Nick says he hasn't spoken with Jess in YEARS ... and sent jaws crashing to the floor when Andy asked, "What is the best thing about no longer having Joe Simpson as a father-in-law?"

Nick Lachey Joking?

  • Yes
  • No
It gets better -- check out TooFab.com for the rest.

Nick and Jessica divorced in 2006. Lachey says he hasn't spoken with Jess in years.

We're guessing he hasn't reached out to Joe either.

Porsha Williams
My Divorce Is 100% REAL
... But I Wish It Wasn't

Exclusive
0507_porsha_willaims_kordell_stewart_tmz_articlePorsha Williams says her divorce from former NFL star Kordell Stewart is ABSOLUTELY NOT a publicity stunt or a contrived plotline for "Real Housewives" ... but she wishes it was.

After TMZ broke the story that Kordell pulled the plug on the marriage back in March ... several media outlets called B.S. on the split, claiming it was a cheap P.R. stunt concocted in the hopes they would stay on the show for another season.

But Porsha's rep tells us ... the notion of a phony divorce is "absolutely ridiculous" ... explaining, "Given everything this abrupt divorce filing has put her through in the public, [Porsha] would never bring something like this on herself, especially with them having a child in the house."

The rep adds, "[Porsha] wishes things could have been different [with Kordell] but that simply is not possible.”

We also spoke with Porsha's attorney, Randy Kessler, who says the two sides are trying to keep the split amicable and are working on reaching a separation agreement as quickly as possible. 

The two were married in 2011 and have no children together ... but Kordell has a son from a previous relationship.
