Colton Haynes Reaches Divorce Settlement ... Amicably with Jeff Leatham

Published

Colton Haynes and Jeff Leatham are one giant step closer to being single again after hammering out a divorce settlement.

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Colton's attorney, Marci Levine, filed the settlement Wednesday in L.A. Superior Court ... a little more than a year after he filed for the divorce.

You'll recall, the "Teen Wolf" star and celeb florist Jeff had only been married for about 6 months when they split up. Sources connected to the ex-couple say they did not have a prenup, but they were still able to reach an amicable split.

We're told there was no hassle over finances -- both sides agreed to keep their earnings during the brief marriage separate. One source told us by the end of the settlement negotiations it was as "amicable" and "peaceful" a divorce as can be ... especially in Hollywood.

It didn't last long, but boy did it start spectacularly. Remember, Jeff proposed in Cabo, complete with fireworks and a video appearance from Cher. Their celeb-packed wedding ceremony in Palm Springs was officiated by Kris Jenner and guests included Sofia Vergara, Joe Manganiello and Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

A judge still has to sign off on their divorce settlement ... and then it's back to bachelordom, officially.

'Mr. Olympia' Shawn Rhoden Hits Legendary Gym Amid Rape Case ... Appreciates Fan Support

Published | Updated

Shawn Rhoden isn't letting his rape case get in the way of his training ... the 2018 Mr. Olympia hit the legendary Gold's Gym in L.A. this week -- and thanked all his fans for their support.

The 44-year-old bodybuilder is accused of raping a female bodybuilder at a Utah hotel back in October 2018 ... but he's adamantly denied the allegations, pleading not guilty in court and releasing several denial statements.

But, the guys that run the Mr. Olympia contest have barred Rhoden from competing in the 2019 tournament regardless, saying they were breaking off their relationship with the superstar until his case played out in the court system.

Rhoden fans have started a change.org petition to get the Mr. Olympia honchos to change their mind, and more than 17,000 people have already signed it.

Rhoden clearly appreciates the love ... because after we got him getting in a lift in at The Mecca in Venice -- he shouted out his supporters and gave us a bunch of thumbs ups.

Rhoden also says he has yet to hear from the Mr. Olympia competition since the petition has gained traction.

By the way, the gym we spotted Rhoden at is one of the most legendary in the country ... some of the greatest bodybuilders ever -- including Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime -- have pumped iron there.

Clearly, Rhoden is still training like he'll be in some physique shows sooner rather than later.

Krysten Ritter Welcomes 1st Child ... It's a Boy Named Bruce!!!

Published | Updated

Krysten Ritter's a proud new mom after giving birth to a baby boy, and she gave him a name fit for a superhero ... or a rock star.

According to the birth certificate -- obtained by TMZ -- the "Jessica Jones" star's firstborn child's name is Bruce, and the little guy has 2 middle names ... Julian Knight.

The baby's father is Ritter's longtime boyfriend, The War on Drugs' frontman, Adam Granduciel ... whose real last name is Granofsky. So, their son's full name is Bruce Julian Knight Granofsky.

As for the little guy's name ... it could be related to Ritter's Marvel Comics connection. Jessica Jones is a Marvel character much like The Hulk -- aka Bruce Banner -- but that's clearly rank comic book fanboy speculation on our part.

Or, maybe she and her baby daddy are fans of DC Comics hero Bruce "The Batman" Wayne? Yeah, we're stretching.

More likely is the fact Krysten's a big Bruce Springsteen fan. Sometimes it's just the simplest option.

According to his birth certificate, Lil Boss (that's officially his nickname now) arrived July 29 at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Ritter first revealed she was pregnant in February, and showed off her baby bump at a premiere event for season 3 of 'JJ.'

Congrats!!!

Nice grab, dude!

By the way, the Diamondbacks ended up beating the Phillies in a 6 to 1 beatdown. Wonder if Dad can hit!?

Antonio Brown Cryo Injury Sidelined Me For Months ... Says Justin Gatlin

Published | Updated
Justin Gatlin
COULD BE MONTHS ...

Bad news, Raiders fans ... Justin Gatlin says he suffered a similar cryotherapy injury as star receiver Antonio Brown -- and the U.S. sprinter says it took him MONTHS to get healthy.

The superstar Olympian famously got frostbite on both his feet and ankles after a mishap in the cryogenic chamber back in 2011 -- and the guy says the injury hurt like hell.

In fact, when Gatlin joined "TMZ Sports" (weeknights on FS1) on Wednesday, he said of the frostbite, "It was a disaster. I had, like, boils and blisters all over my ankles."

Gatlin says the injuries were similar to the ones Brown posted on social media a couple weeks ago ... and says he thinks it could be a while before AB is healthy again.

"He's not going to be able to run those routes properly without healing his feet totally."

Gatlin says the recovery process for the injury was brutal, telling the guys, "Every day I had to get those blisters popped by hand by a therapist ... It just got really, really bad."

Good news for Brown ... Gatlin says AB should still be able to resume cryotherapy treatments once he's all healed up by using a more localized form of the cold stuff.

As for AB, the Raiders have been mum on a timeline for the stud wideout ... only calling him day-to-day.

Gatlin says he's friendly with Brown and would be more than willing to offer the WR advice on how to treat the injury.

FYI, Gatlin is 37 years old and still one of the TOP sprinters in the world ... so, AB might wanna give him a buzz.

Guess Who This Striped Sweetie Turned Into!

He married the love of his life, but on their 11th wedding anniversary, she tragically died in his arms after a fight with cancer.

Now, he's got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Meghan Trainor & Daryl Sabara Don't Stop At 'Home Alone' ... Gotta Reboot 'Spy Kids'!!!

Published | Updated
Meghan Trainor & Daryl Sabara
SPY KIDS GROWN UP

Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara WANT IN on the remake craze, telling us they're super down to reboot his breakout role ... with a twist.

We got Meghan and her husband Wednesday in New York City ... and because everyone is freaking out about Disney re-imagining "Home Alone," our guy gauged the couple's interest in bringing back to life another movie about kick-ass kids.

Meghan's crossing her fingers the franchise gets the green light for new installments ... telling us she would absolutely LOVE to join the cast alongside her hubby.

Daryl, who starred in the OG version way back in 2001, is super down too, and explains why Meghan would have to get a role this time around. He also has some ideas about what has to be different.

Serious question: We can't still call Daryl a spy KID, 18 years later, right?

Anyway, it's no wonder Meghan and Daryl want a slice of reboot pie ... studios are making a killing on remakes this year, including "The Lion King" and "Aladdin."

Dog the Bounty Hunter Targeted in $430k Dubai Scam!!! Other Celebs Hit Too

Published | Updated

Dog the Bounty Hunter just got a sweet, sweet offer -- $430,000 to fly to Dubai and make a speech, and if that sounds too good to be true ... that's only because it's really a total ripoff.

Here's the thing, though, the six-figure check is very real ... and Dog could cash it, but then he'd really be screwed. His literary agent, Alan Nevins at Renaissance Talent, tells us the dough was delivered Wednesday morning to his office by FedEx, and it immediately set off all sorts of alarms.

We're told this all started last month when Alan got an email, seemingly from the office of Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan -- the real Deputy Prime Minister of United Arab Emirates -- offering to pay Dog a handsome fee to speak at an economic empowerment convention for small business owners on August 31.

They sent a contract that was very sophisticated -- with all the proper clauses regarding travel, taxes and indemnity -- so both sides agreed to follow up and see where it all led. Dog joked to Alan that if it turned out to be fake, maybe he could help break up a money laundering scheme.

Sure enough ... things got sketchy after they negotiated a fee and signed the deal. First off, all communication was by email -- the foundation claimed that was due to the 11-hour time difference between L.A. to UAE.

Then there's the website for the alleged event -- mansourfoundation.org -- which looks very real, and even allows you to make donations. However, only by snail mail or email ... NO credit cards. Alan thought that was weird and tells us he called the host hotel listed on the website, only to find out no such event was going down there.

Another red flag came when organizers in "Dubai" told Alan they'd had trouble wiring funds to the bank where he has his business account, so they asked for his personal account at a different bank.

Dog and Alan knew it wasn't real at that point, and decided to walk away -- but lo and behold the live check arrived. The catch was organizers asked Dog to donate $250k of the funds back to the organization.

Alan says he did some research, calling the Portland bank that issued the check and the Portland construction company -- Benson Industries -- that allegedly wrote it. Both are real! Alan says the bank confirmed it's an active account, but wouldn't say for whom. Benson told him they had no knowledge of any such check being cut.

Federal and local law enforcement sources tell us this scam is like the new Nigerian Prince letter ... except with much higher dollar amounts to target rich celebs. We're told, a rash of celebs have been hit up lately -- and if Dog had deposited the check, the funds would have vanished a few days later. So, if he'd sent back the $250k, it would've come out of his own pocket.

We're told it's next to impossible to track down these scammers -- so, Dog dodged a big bullet.

Macaulay Culkin Here's Your 'Home Alone' Reboot ... Ya Filthy Animals!!!

Published | Updated

Macaulay Culkin's joining the chorus of fans roasting Disney for its plan to reboot the classic "Home Alone" franchise ... with a harsh and hilarious reality check.

The OG Kevin McCallister just shared a photo on his Instagram of himself looking bloated and disheveled in his undies ... sitting on an old couch, plate of food in hand, Chinese takeout strewn about and laptop on his lap.

Or, in his own words ... representing what an updated "Home Alone" would actually look like.

Macaulay's had a pretty good sense of humor about reprising his iconic Christmas movie role that launched him into superstardom way back in 1990 ... including this ad for Google this past holiday season.

Clearly, he couldn't resist another parody ... and even kept a touch of the holiday spirit with that snowman pillow in the background.

In case you missed it ... Disney's CEO Bob Iger announced Tuesday the company's plan to reboot several famous Fox franchises it recently acquired. Along with Culkin's smash hit, Iger says it's rebooting "Cheaper by the Dozen," "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and "Night at the Museum."

It was probably inevitable, but to many fans it's a terrible idea, and can best be described with the same word Kevin used for Buzz's girlfriend -- Woof!!!

Kylie Jenner She Pasta Time Shopping ... Before Boarding Mega-Yacht!!

Published | Updated

Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott and the rest of the brood arrived on Italian soil, but before they traded land for sea, they did what every self-respecting tourist does in Italia ... they shopped.

Kylie and Co. arrived in Positano ... where they joined Scott Disick and Sofia Richie, Kris Jenner, Corey Gamble and Kylie's friends just days ahead of her 22nd birthday.

The group beelined it for a couple stores before boarding a tender that chugged its way to their floating palace ... the $250 million mega-yacht, "Tranquility."

TMZ broke the story ... Kylie & Co. boarded a private jet Tuesday filled with family and close friends to begin her big bday celebration. It's gonna be extravagant ... with a little help from the 29-person crew.

TMZ broke the story ... Kylie boarded the private jet with the train of what looks like a wedding dress poking out of the garment bag as it was dragged along the tarmac. It could have been fully covered up, but we're guessing it may have been a gag ... which Kylie often pulls. We're told they're not getting hitched on the trip.

YouTuber Brooke Houts Abuses Her Dog on Camera!!! LAPD Launches Investigation

Published | Updated

YouTube loser Brooke Houts beat, shoved and spit on her Doberman -- and it's all captured on a gut-wrenching piece of footage she accidentally uploaded for the world to see.

Fair warning, the clip will definitely upset all animal lovers ... or anyone with a heart.

In the shocking video, you see Brooke hitting the poor pooch, named Sphinx, multiple times ... yelling at him and forcefully shoving him to the ground ... all in the name of recording an animal prank video for her YouTube channel.

Brooke apparently uploaded the abusive clip by mistake ... before posting the final cut of the prank, which isn't even funny or all that original.

As you can imagine, Brooke is catching TONS OF HEAT ... and she's already issued a lengthy apology, claiming she's not an animal abuser -- despite what you're seeing in the video.

Brooke says ... "I am NOT a dog abuser or animal abuser in any way, shape, or form. Anyone who has witnessed or heard true animal abuse will be able to clearly see that. My dog, in no way, shape, or form was hurt by any action that I displayed in this video." She also claims it's too expensive to hire a trainer for him.

LAPD's Animal Cruelty unit is aware of the video and is investigating.

Irina Shayk Took a Dip in Ibiza ... Lime Doin' Just Fine!!!

Published | Updated

Single mom life seems to be treating Irina Shayk well so far -- VERY well based on how incredible she looks on a family vacay in Spain ... with Bradley Cooper nowhere in sight.

The supermodel's enjoying some yacht and beach time in Ibiza with her daughter, Lea De Seine, Tuesday and it looks like Irina's mom, Olga, was part of the girl squad too.

Irina stood out like she normally does, but even more so thanks to a sexy lime green swimsuit accentuating her figure ... as she hopped off the boat and took a dip in the sea. Wonder if she was inspired by Rita Ora?

We're told Irina and her family had yachts of fun for a few hours before heading back to land and calling it a day.

As we've reported ... Shayk and Cooper agreed last month to share custody of their daughter and live in the same city. Looks like Bradley's might have to step up his vacay game when it's his time with Lea.

The ex-couple started dating in 2015 and had their baby girl in March 2017.

CREDIT CARD STRUGGLES

Jerry O’Connell might want to join a biker gang ... because trying to rent a bicycle sure as hell ain't working!!!

This is the funniest clip you'll see all day ... Jerry's in the middle of Manhattan trying to use a bike-sharing program, but his credit card keeps getting REJECTED!

Jerry admits it's SUPER EMBARRASSING ... and he keeps swiping and swiping ... but no dice.

It's hilarious ... Jerry makes a crack about his awful credit score, and then dips into his wallet to fish out his mom's debit card. Still nothing doing. Side note: Who carries their mom's debit card?!?

Anyway, seems the Citi Bike machine just didn't feel like working -- neither do we -- so it's not like Jerry's flat broke.

Pretty sure Jerry's got money in the bank ... dude's got his own talk show premiering Monday on FOX, and our guy asked who he's dying to interview. Hint: Jerry has royal aspirations.

And, don't sweat it ... he does eventually get a ride. The old-fashioned way.

El Paso Shooter Father is Therapist, Treats Shooting Victims ... Like Singer Eric Keyes

Published | Updated

Singer Eric Keyes says he was at a loss for words when he found his therapist -- who helped him battle PTSD after getting shot -- is the father of the El Paso gunman.

Eric was on "TMZ Live" to talk about the ironic twist. He told us he was in tears when he found out that his mental health counselor, Bryan Crusius, had to cancel a weekly appointment to deal with his own family tragedy after his son, 21-year-old Patrick Crusius, gunned down 22 people inside a Walmart.

Eric, a Texas guitarist and singer, was shot in 2012 at point blank range when a gunman showed up at his house. He said he can't imagine what Bryan's going through, especially when tragedy hits so close to home.

Bryan's had Eric's back for some time now -- he started a GoFundMe campaign for the musician last October after the shooting left him with permanent injuries, like nerve damage in his left arm which meant he couldn't play guitar anymore.

Eric says Bryan helped him overcome his crippling PTSD, and now he just wants to help do the same for him.
