The newsroom trashed him when he sang "My Way" as a dare on TMZ Live ... then music legend Paul Anka saved him ... and now Harvey Levin has unveiled his very own MUSIC VIDEO!!



Anka -- who wrote the song back in 1968 -- took Harvey to the legendary Capitol Records building in Hollywood last Friday night to lay down the tracks.

If you like it ... or even if you don't ... you can purchase the song on iTunes -- and 100% of the profits will benefit two OUTSTANDING charities ... Pet Orphans and Ace of Hearts Dog Rescue.

Still, we gotta ask ...

Paul Anka has just raised the stakes in his bitter divorce -- he just filed a defamation case against his estranged wife, Anna Anka.



The defamation is interesting, but the backstory is riveting. Among other things, Paul claims Anna didn't marry Paul out of love -- he claims Anna's real intent "may have been to leverage Paul's celebrity status to get herself a television show." And a TV show she got -- "Swedish Hollywood Wives."

Paul says Anna was wacky, claiming one time during a concert tour in the Middle East she obsessed that her son would be "kidnapped and sold into slavery" and worried about "a major child porn industry in Israel and Ethan will be put into it."

Paul claims Anna's fits of anger were epic. As for the alleged defamation, Paul claims Anna gave interviews to the Swedish press, claiming she did not have a prenuptial agreement with Paul and that she had a right to half his money, adding, "You won't believe how much I'll get when this is over."

Paul says Anna falsely implied that he forged her name on the prenup and that he says is the defamation.

Paul Anka had a bunch of people over on Christmas Eve -- cops, according to law enforcement sources.


We've learned Ventura County Sheriff's Department deputies responded on Wednesday and Thursday. In both cases, Anka called 911. Anka tells TMZ his beef on Wednesday was that Anna Anka copped an attitude when he came over to visit their son and his step-daughter -- Paul has been living in a hotel since he filed for divorce earlier this month. Paul called 911 after Anna refused to let him play with their son.

As for Christmas Eve, at around 2 PM, Anka went to see his kids again. Anka says when he arrived Anna took the kids upstairs into a room and locked the door. He says Anna then went ballistic when she realized Paul brought a security dude over to get video from a security cam showing what happened the day before.

Paul left, came back at around 5 PM, and claims Anna refused to serve him dinner and began telling relatives in Swedish not to speak with him. And, Anka says, she put black tape over the security camera. So he called 911 ... again.

Law enforcement sources tell us they responded both times, and no one had been harmed and no one was arrested.

Last year, Anna was arrested for felony battery after Paul claimed she struck him with a piece of ice. That case was dropped.

Regrets, he has a few.

And now the latest installment in the bashing of Paul Anka's soon-to-be ex-wife Anna -- courtesy of the place where Paul buys his cars.



Eric Brooks -- the president of L.A. Car Connection -- sent Paul a letter on Tuesday to comfort him during the big split ... by describing Anna as one of the most foul-mouthed, over-the-top and unreasonable people on the planet.

Brooks even offers a few anecdotes to prove it:

-- "I have never heard so much vulgar words and profanity come out of someone's mouth within a 30 second episode."

--"She left her lights on and her battery was dead and really tried to blame it on the 'piece of **** car' she bought."

--"When I recommended that she [get new tires] because I could see the metal sticking out of the tires ... She blamed it on the piece of **** car ... a Mercedes Benz S63."

Brooks finishes it off by saying, "I can assure you that you deserve much better."

We think the people at Canyon View Training Ranch for Dogs will agree.

Paul Anka's wife is accused of going so ballistic on the people she hired to train her dog, that the company not only fired her as a client -- they blasted off a letter to Paul explaining how "impossible" she is to work with.



In the letter, obtained by TMZ, a rep from the "Canyon View Training Ranch for Dogs" explains how Anna Anka "verbally abused" a dog trainer last month over a scheduling conflict.

The letter also claims Anna "interrupted, belittled, and yelled" at their staff on the phone -- often hanging up on them and making extremely unreasonable demands like "YOU WILL pick up my dogs by 12 o'clock" and "You will do as I said, when I said it."

The company ultimately told Anna she wasn't welcome back -- a theme that seems to be common in her life.

As TMZ previously reported, Paul filed for divorce from Anna last week after a domestic incident ... their 2nd in two years.

Multiple police cars rolled out to the home of music legend Paul Anka Thursday morning after cops received two 911 calls about a domestic dispute between Paul and his wife Anna.

According to law enforcement, 2 calls came in from the couple's mansion in Thousand Oaks, California around 7:49 AM.

When cops arrived to the home, they reported no visible injuries -- and no arrests were made. But according to Paul, there was one hell of a stand-off.

TMZ spoke to Anka, who told us the couple has been having "escalating" problems for months and he's been staying at a hotel. Anka says on the day of the incident, he had rolled by the house to take the couple's kids to school, when he and his wife began arguing over the maid -- who Anna had fired the day before.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Anna called 911 and told them she was afraid because Paul had pulled a gun on her during an argument the night before. But Paul says his whole house is under video surveillance, and when officers arrived, he played the tape -- which showed no such incident. Cops took a report -- but no arrests were made.

Hours later, Paul filed for divorce in L.A. County Superior Court.

The Ankas are no strangers to domestic disputes -- around the same time last year Anna was arrested for felony domestic battery after she allegedly threw a piece of ice at Paul ... and split his head open. Paul eventually forgave his wife and refused to press charges.

Paul Anka's wife got arrested after she allegedly split his head open with a piece of ice.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the alleged incident occurred on Nov 28 at the couple's home in Thousand Oaks, just outside of L.A. We're told that Paul and Anna, who have a kid together but married just last summer, got into an argument that turned physical. Our sources say during the brouhaha, an ice bucket hit the ground and Anna picked up a piece of ice and threw a fast ball, hitting Paul in the noggin.

Paul went to the hospital, got two staples put in his head to close the wound, returned home and called the cops at 3:05 the next morning to report Anna missing. When cops arrived Anna wasn't there but when she returned they arrested and booked her for felony domestic battery.

The Ventura County D.A.'s office rejected the case, though they're not saying why.

BTW, Paul is 67-years-old and stands 5'6" and weighs 140. Anna is 37, towers over him at 5'7" and weighs 120 pounds.

Paul Anka told TMZ, "It was a stupid little event. It was nothing." Anka said he called the cops because she was missing at the time he returned from the hospital, but cops arrested her after seeing his injuries. He says he never pressed charges, and he and his wife are "fine". Paul says Anna has "been having a tough time with her ex over custody issues," which has stressed her out.

In the '50s, Paul Anka became a teen idol with hit songs like "Diana" and "Put Your Head on My Shoulders." Guess what he looks like now!
