Bruce Beresford-Redman
I'm Ready to Talk
... for a Price!!!

Bruce Beresford-Redman is finally ready to tell his side of the story.
Bruce Beresford-Redman -- the former "Survivor" producer accused of murdering his wife -- is finally ready to tell his side of the story ... but only if the price is right.

BBR's spokesperson has been calling various media outlets, including TMZ, in an effort to score the very first interview with the murder suspect, who's currently behind bars in Mexico.

It's unclear how much BBR is hoping to score from a tell-all.  We're not biting.

BBR's rep, Steve Jaffe, tells us Bruce needs the dough to pay for his legal defense.

Earlier this week, BBR was ordered to stand trial for allegedly killing his wife during a vacation in Cancun back in 2010.  BBR insists he is innocent.

BRUCE BERESFORD-REDMAN
COPS CALLED
IN WAR OVER CHILDREN

0803_monica_beresford_redman_exThe family battle over former "Survivor" producer -- and current murder suspect -- Bruce Beresford-Redman's children is so intense ... police were recently called to enforce a visitation with the kids' aunts.

Bruce's parents and the sisters of his slain wife -- Monica Burgos Beresford-Redman -- have been warring over guardianship of the former couple's two children ... Camila and Alec.

In new documents filed in the case -- and obtained by TMZ -- the grandparents claim the aunts called police when 6-year-old Camila did not want to join them for a visitation.

According to the docs, the grandparents claim Camila and Alec were traumatized -- and they already think "police are bad" for taking their father away.

Bruce was arrested last month and is awaiting extradition to Mexico to stand trial for his wife's murder.

The grandparents wanted to suspend visitation with the aunts ... but instead the judge ruled both sides should stop bad mouthing each other -- and visits should continue as scheduled.

'Survivor' Producer -- Dead Wife's $$$ On Lockdown

Bruce Beresford-Redman may be up the river without a paddle -- TMZ has learned the sisters of his murdered wife just successfully blocked the TV producer from tapping into his wife's assets.

Bruce Beresford-Redman

According to the court order granted yesterday -- obtained by TMZ -- Monica Burgos Beresford-Redman's assets "may not be sold, encumbered or transferred without Court order" ... "Specifically, Bruce Beresford-Redman does not have the authority to encumber Monica's interest."

As we first reported, Monica's sisters -- Jeane and Carla -- filed the petition days after Bruce was arrested in California -- fearing Bruce would use Monica's money to pay lawyers who will defend him on murder charges.

Bruce is still in custody in the United States -- months after Mexican authorities issued an arrest warrant for him ... in connection with the death of his wife.

The move comes just days after Beresford-Redman was arrested in connection with Monica's murder.

Sisters in 'Survivor' Case -- Put the Will To the Test

The sisters of Bruce Beresford-Redman's murdered wife think her signature was forged on a will -- and now they're asking the court to let a handwriting expert determine if it's legit.

0629_bruce_EX_TMZ_03

Long story short, Monica had two wills -- one from 2004 which says Monica's sister gets custody of their two children ... and a 2008 will that gives custody to the godfather of one of the kids.

In documents filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Monica's sisters ask the judge to let them have a handwriting expert analyze Monica's signatures to determine which draft is the real deal.  According to the papers, they think Monica's signature on the 2008 will is fake.

Bruce's parents currently have custody of the kids. Bruce continues to fight extradition to Mexico where he's been charged with Monica's murder.

'Survivor' Producer's In-Laws -- Send BBR to Mexico!

Bruce Beresford-Redman's sisters-in-law are sick and tired of waiting for the U.S. government to extradite the "Survivor" producer back to Mexico -- so they staged a public rally today to prove it.

The sisters of Bruce's wife Monica -- who was murdered last April in Mexico -- marched to the L.A. federal courthouse with a group of friends this afternoon ... chanting "Justice for Monica!" and carrying signs with messages like "U.S. Government, Please Help This Brutally Murdered Mother."

Mexico has already formally asked the U.S. to extradite BBR -- the prime suspect in his wife's murder -- but U.S. authorities have yet to respond.

Beresford-Redman Cell Phone Extradition Defense

Sources tell TMZ Bruce Beresford-Redman's cell phone -- the one Mexican authorities confiscated and then abused -- will become part of his extradition defense.

0630_redman_phone_EX

TMZ broke the story ... Mexican cops seized Beresford-Redman's cell phone after his murdered wife's body was found, and ran up an AT&T bill totaling more than $3,800.

Now we've learned the bill was for a one-month period.  We're told roaming calls were made to El Salvador and elsewhere.  Numerous calls were made to various locations in Mexico.

Sources tell us BBR's lawyer will raise the cell phone abuse issue if Bruce has an extradition hearing.  Here's the defense argument:  The Mexican police are covering for a crime wave committed at the hotel where Monica Burgos Beresford-Redman was murdered.  There were two other suspicious deaths at the hotel and an attempted rape, allegedly by an employee at the Cancun hotel.

The defense has suggested, with tourism plummeting in Mexico, authorities needed a fall guy to prevent further erosion in tourism, and they picked BBR.

If Mexican cops misused evidence in the case -- i.e. BBR's cell phone -- it further compromises their integrity.

'Survivor' Producer Challenges Arrest Warrant

0611_bruce_EX_TMZ_01TMZ has learned lawyers for Bruce Beresford-Redman have filed a formal motion in Mexican court to challenge the arrest warrant filed against their client.

We're told Beresford-Redman's Mexican attorney filed what is called an "amparo" -- a motion claiming Beresford-Redman's human rights have been violated.

Beresford-Redman's legal team feels the investigation into the death of Monica Burgos Beresford-Redman has not been thorough and has unjustly focused on Beresford-Redman ... possibly as a cover for rampant hotel violence.

Earlier this week, Mexican authorities made an official request to have Beresford-Redman extradited back to Mexico.
