Breakups

"West Wing" star Dule Hill has filed for legal separation from his wife ... TMZ has learned.

Hill filed the docs in L.A. County Superior Court against wife Nicole Lyn, citing irreconcilable differences. His wife Nicole's a TV actress known for her role on the Canadian show "Student Bodies."

Nicole also DJs under the name Ms. Nix.

Dule and Nicole were married in July 2004 and separated just days after their anniversary in 2012, eight years later. They have no minor children.

Trying to keep up with the status of the relationship between Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez is proving to be maddening -- as the on-again/off-again (repeat 7x) couple was on again last night after the American Music Awards.

Bieber and Gomez didn't show up to the AMAs together, but they did walk hand-in-hand into Bootsy Bellows nightclub in West Hollywood for an AMA after-party.

As TMZ first reported, Gomez's main beef with Bieber is the fact he tends to hang around A LOT of supermodels. Our sources say Biebs is starting to think they're better off as friends.

But if he is trying to win her back, Jenny McCarthy did him no favors last night by practically molesting him on stage after handing him an award.

UPDATE: As of 1:00 AM. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are single, and Justin now thinks it may all be for the best.

Feelings: As of 1:00 AM, Selena wants to right the relationship and get back to boyfriend/girlfriend status. Justin is now telling his close friends he's on the fence, partly because Selena has been so erratic. You'll recall, Friday night she stormed out of a restaurant they were eating at and wouldn't open the gate to her home to let him in.

Justin thinks they may be better off as friends ... unclear if there's a benefits package.

SOURCE OF FRICTION: Supermodels (see photo below).

STATUS LATER TODAY: Anyone's guess.

You're a 20-year-old female pop star and you've just broken up with a famous fella ... who better to understand what you're going through better than the Queen of Breakups ... Taylor Swift.

Yes, Selena Gomez shared a meal in L.A. last night with the woman who has famously been linked and then unlinked with the likes of Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer, Cory Monteith, Toby Hemingway, Jake Gyllenhaal, Zac Efron, Garrett Hedlund, Eddie Redmayne, Harry Styles and Conor Kennedy.

Just hours after the two had a nuclear fight, Justin Bieber's white Ferrari was seen pulling out of Selena Gomez's home early Saturday morning.

As TMZ first reported, the on-again/off-again couple went out to dinner Friday night, but left after just 10 minutes. The two then drove separately back to Selena's place (Justin was a few minutes behind) but she denied him at the gate.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez got in an epic argument during dinner Friday and let's just say ... they didn't even make it to the appetizer.

A source inside the San Fernando Valley Japanese restaurant tells TMZ ... the "couple" had an argument while inside the restaurant and Selena left less than 10 minutes into the meal. Justin quickly followed with his head bowed.

According to a photog on scene ... Selena drove home with Justin trailing a few minutes behind. When Justin got to her place ... she denied him entrance at the gate and Bieber drove off.

WNBA superstar Chamique Holdsclaw threw a brick through the window of her ex-GF's Range Rover .... then poured gas all over her car -- presumably to set it on fire -- this according to the 911 call placed moments after the alleged attack.

The call was placed by the friend of then ex in question -- another WNBA player named Jennifer Lacy. The caller describes Holdsclaw as "mentally unstable."

According to the caller -- who sounds frantic and scared on the phone -- Chamique "tried to destroy" her ex's car ... then fled the scene.

"Strawberry Wine" singer Deana Carter has filed for legal separation from her husband, TMZ has learned.

Deana -- also famous for her song "Did I Shave My Legs for This?" -- filed the separation docs in L.A. County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences."

In the docs, Deana claims she separated from her husband Brandon Malone in August 2011 -- fewer than two years after the couple got married.

Deana wants spousal support, and is asking the court to make Brandon pay her attorneys' fees.

As quickly as Selena Gomez blocked Justin Bieber from her life via her telephone and whatnot, they hooked up again ... capping off a 24-hour rendezvous at a swanky Beverly Hills hotel.

TMZ has learned ... Bieber had a driver take him to LAX Wednesday night, where they picked up Selena ... and rolled over to her home. We're told Bieber spent the night at SG's place.

The next morning, the two hitched a ride to the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills ... but entered the building at separate times, presumably so no one would snap a shot of them together.

WNBA star Jennifer Lacy believes her ex-GF Chamique Holdsclaw bashed in her car -- and fired a gun -- because she was upset Jennifer broke up with her last year ... this according to sources connected to the situation.

We're told ... Jennifer and Chamique dated for roughly 4 years ... and broke up sometime last year. Jennifer is NOT dating anyone else.

Our sources say Jennifer is the one who decided to end the relationship ... and apparently, the split didn't sit well with Holdsclaw.

After the attack, we’re told Chamique desperately tried to contact Jennifer, but Lacy -- still afraid for her life -- did not respond.

As TMZ first reported, Holdsclaw was arrested last night -- after turning herself in to Atlanta police.

We're told Jennifer is upset and embarrassed by the situation -- but as one source puts it, "She really hopes that Chamique gets the help she needs."

WNBA legend Chamique Holdsclaw -- one of the greatest female basketball players of all time -- is a wanted woman in Georgia ... after allegedly FIRING A GUN during an explosive altercation with her ex-girlfriend.

According to the Atlanta Police Dept., a warrant has been issued for Holdsclaw's arrest over an incident that occurred just after noon on November 13.

Holdsclaw's ex-GF Jennifer Lacy -- who's also a WNBA player -- told police ... the drama began when she noticed Holdsclaw following her after she finished a workout at a local church.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Lacy felt scared ... and called a friend who agreed to meet her at a nearby location.

Once Lacy arrived, she claims Holdsclaw got out of her car ... and approached Lacy's car while carrying a baseball bat.

Lacy told cops ... Holdsclaw began bashing in her car windows ... before pulling out a pistol, sticking the gun INSIDE THE CAR and firing a shot ... while Lacy was still in the vehicle.

After firing the shot, Holdsclaw allegedly fled the scene. When cops arrived, officers say they recovered a 9mm shell casing.

Selena Gomez spent the last day blocking her phone numbers and other communication devices so Justin Bieber cannot contact her ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Selena wants no contact with Justin, so whatever they tried hashing out during their sit-down last Sunday didn't work. She has blocked her phone (which includes texting). For some reason, she's still following Justin on Twitter, but we're told she's blocked him on all forms of contact.

And ... we've learned ... the breakup absolutely, positively involved another woman -- though our sources didn't know which one. There's been speculation that it's a Victoria's Secret model. We don't know for sure if it's her, but we know it involves another woman.

Justin Bieber should not get back with Selena Gomez because it's time the 18-year-old started banging random supermodels (said the devil) -- but the ladies of TMZ don't think he can close the deal.

Justin Bieber met Selena Gomez for a chit-chat Sunday at a NYC hotel ... but they are still officially single ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected with the former couple tell TMZ ... they met to talk about the conflict that caused them to break up -- the sources wouldn't ante up specifics but we're told it was Selena who pulled the plug.

We're told nothing was resolved and they have NOT gotten back together.

Justin -- you're 18. Go with door #2.

It's NOT over between Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez ... sources very familiar with the situation tell TMZ.

Two Things.

Thing 1: Justin is not involved with anyone else. There are pics of Justin with a Victoria's Secret model circulating, but there's nothing there.

Thing 2: Justin would like to get back with Selena, and thinks it can happen. We're told the way Justin sees it ... they've broken up a bunch of times before and this is just another blip.

We're told he's not freaked out ... he thinks there's a good chance they'll make up.

Ah young, very rich love.

Just one day after news broke that he and Selena Gomez were no more, Justin Bieber chose to perform the most famous break up song in recent pop music history ... Justin Timberlake's "Cry Me a River."

JT's famous track came after he broke up with Britney Spears way back in 2002. Bieber is no stranger to the song, having performed it several times over the years, but it was a telling song choice when JB decided to perform it a capella last night.

So we ask ...
