Suck on THIS a-one time ... Pauly Shore tells TMZ he's in talks with Andy Dick about doing a sequel to their 1994 flick "In the Army Now."

Dick and Shore discussed the idea on Andy's Internet show yesterday ... with Dick saying, "I've always said we should do 'In the Army Again' ... We should rescue Katy Perry from a USO show gone bad or something."

Now, Shore tells us, "Andy has wanted to do it for awhile ... if they put up the money and the studio lets us do it  ... I'm down to make it happen!"

Shore tells us ... there is a treatment for the movie (a detailed summary of the story) that's being circulated in Hollywood ... but Pauly hasn't read it yet.

FYI -- the original flick grossed more than $28 mil at the box office ... Shore's 3rd highest grossing film.  But despite its cult following, the flick carries a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Yeah, buddy.

Missing "Terminator 3" actor Nick Stahl has told his wife he has checked in to rehab, TMZ has learned. 

The 32-year-old actor was reported missing earlier this week by his wife Rose -- but e-mailed friends yesterday to say he was okay and would be unreachable for the next 30 days so he could get help.

Stahl's wife, Rose, tells TMZ she spoke to the actor last night -- very briefly -- and he told her he checked into rehab. Rose says she double-checked with the rehab this morning to make sure he was still there -- and he was. 

Rose tells TMZ she is not even thinking about divorce right now -- she is just glad he is safe. Rose says the couple's daughter has been asking about Nick's whereabouts lately ... and Rose is glad she can now say that daddy is safe and will be home soon.

Rose says she plans to visit Nick in rehab as much as possible, but she doesn't know how long his stay in rehab will be.

Exclusive Details

Gloria Allred
is now representing John Doe #2, the masseur who is accusing John Travolta of sexual assault, but it's unclear exactly what Allred is doing with him.

As we previously reported, John Doe #2 fired his lawyer and plans to dismiss his case, which was filed in federal court.

Gloria says, "We believe that the lawsuit should be filed in another court and, therefore, the lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice.  We will be conferring with our client regarding what will happen next in this case."

Travolta's lawyer, Marty Singer, tells TMZ, "I'm looking forward to trying the case against Gloria Allred in a court of law, not in the media."   Singer told TMZ his client hasn't paid either John Doe #1 or 2 a penny, calling their claims "ridiculous and false."

Amber Portwood
Back to Jail

Exclusive Details
0511_amber_portwood_01"Teen Mom" star Amber Portwood is back in an Indiana jail cell ... after prosecutors claimed she LIED about having a medical condition to get out of her weekly drug court appointment.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Portwood was a no-show at drug court last week ... after telling officials she was on doctor-ordered bed rest following laparoscopic gallbladder surgery.  Our sources say Amber's attorney told the court she was ordered to remain in bed for 2-3 weeks.

But here's the rub -- we're told Amber's case manager didn't want to take Amber's word for it ... and spoke to the doctor directly ... who called B.S. on the reality star and insisted she WAS well enough to attend her court obligations.

Amber was immediately hauled back to jail for missing the appointment -- and we're told she's expected to stay behind bars for a couple of weeks ... until a judge decides what to do with her.

WWE Star John Cena
Files for Divorce

Exclusive Details
0510_john_cena_Liz_HuberdeauWWE star John Cena has filed for divorce.

Cena filed the docs in Florida, claiming his marriage to Liz Huberdeau is "irretrievably broken." John and Liz were high school sweethearts but only married three years ago.  They have no children.

Now here's the kicker -- Liz has already hired high-powered Miami attorney Raymond Rafool, the same attorney who repped Linda Hogan during her divorce ... and took Hulk to the cleaners.

But it won't be easy -- according to the docs, Liz signed a crippling pre-nup in 2009.

Liz' lawyer has already released a statement, claiming, "Although it is indeed unfortunate that John Cena decided to divorce his high school sweetheart Liz Cena; particularly, after they have come so far in their lives and in his career together, Liz will and really has no choice but to pursue all of her rights and entitlements."

The attorney adds, "Sadly, divorce is not the way Liz thought her perfect love story would end."

update_bar
12:12 PM -- Liz' attorney tells us, Cena blindsided her with the divorce filing. They had been having issues -- and Cena even approached her recently with a pre-divorce financial settlement agreement -- but Liz refused to sign it, convinced the relationship would still work out.

FYI -- It's not uncommon in celeb divorces to bring up pre-divorce settlement agreements because they help simplify otherwise messy splits.

Alleged Stalker Strikes
... Again

Exclusive Details
The Mila Kunis stalker
A homeless man tailed Mila Kunis to a gym Friday -- a man who law enforcement says is a stalker -- and he was detained after Kunis' security sounded the alarm.

As for Friday's incident ... Kunis hid in her Range Rover until cops arrived.

Bankrupt Gary Busey
Acting Crazy
for $4,500 a Week

Exclusive Details
0504_nick_bill2
Just 3 months after filing for bankruptcy, Hollywood legend Gary Busey caught a lucky break -- snagging a steady paycheck by "playing" a crazy person on TV -- but he's still light years from digging himself out of debt.

As TMZ previously reported ... the broke-ass actor filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy back in February, claiming to owe a colossal $500k plus to creditors.

Sources tell TMZ ... Busey is officially back on the employment bus -- he just booked a new scripted pilot, "Mr. Box Office," with Bill Bellamy (above) -- where the actor will play a science teacher who thinks he's an alien from another planet, named Cordar.

We're told Busey will be raking in around $4,500 per week -- per union rules -- playing the delusional, bonkers type character (which is sure to test his acting chops).

According to our rock-solid calculations ... it will take Busey at least 111 weeks of steady shooting to pay off his massive debt ... and that's if he doesn't spend a dime on anything else.

Looks like he'll have to settle for old moccasins and VHS tapes a little while longer.
