Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Martin Cold Play Slow Play in Divorce
Gwyneth Paltrow needs to tell her estranged hubby to get off the dime, because we've learned he never responded to her divorce petition and the judge has taken notice.
Gwyneth filed for divorce April 20, 2015. Chris was served with legal docs on May 18th and the case has laid dormant since then. According to legal docs the Coldplay frontman never filed an answer to her divorce petition.
The judge has now notified Gwyneth and Chris, the actress may now be eligible to get a default judgment. Typically, that means she'd get what she asked for in her divorce petition. We broke the story, Gwyneth wants joint custody of their 2 kids. BTW ... she filed her petition without a lawyer.
But, as we reported, we're told business managers for Gwyneth and Chris have been privately hashing out a settlement, mostly involving their considerable assets. Based on what we know, it looks like Chris and his team simply never got around to filing an answer, which they'll probably do now.
Either way, if Chris doesn't snap to, he may wake up suddenly single.

Mike Tyson I Like Brad Pitt Even Though I Caught Him with My Ex
Mike Tyson says he thinks Brad Pitt is a "really nice guy" -- which is interesting considering he once caught the guy about to have sex with his estranged wife.
Iron Mike was on "The Real" when he was asked to recall that infamous moment back in the '80s when he caught his then (estranged) wife Robin Givens sneaking around their house with Pitt.
The whole thing is funny ... Tyson says he was actually at the house hoping to bang Givens one last time before they hashed it out with divorce lawyers when he saw Robin with Brad.
Mike says he doesn't think they actually banged -- though he thinks they were about to -- and says Pitt was goofy and stoney when he confronted the actor.
Now, almost 30 years later ... Tyson says he holds no grudges against Pitt -- and praises him as a nice guy.
Wonder how Brad feels about the whole thing.
By the way, the episode airs Feb. 29th (check local listings).

Ray J Stop Selling My Old Kim Kardashian Drama
Ray J's done dealing with the Kim Kardashian skeletons in his closet ... his lawyer just fired off a cease and desist letter to an old business partner he thinks might be leaking old, degrading interviews.
The first interview surfaced on YouTube Thursday under the title "Ray J's Doctor Diagnoses Kim Kardashian Smelly Na-Na" ... which should give you an idea of the material.
We're told the interview was recorded 8 years ago to accompany a book deal that was eventually canned. There's more where it came from too ... like Ray J talking about dating Whitney Houston at the time of her deadly overdose, which he wants to keep a lid on.
Ray J and his lawyer are giving the old biz partner -- Maxwell Billieon of Billieon Group -- until Monday to come forward and explain why he posted the material without Ray J's permission.
If he doesn't cop to it, Ray J plans on suing.

Rose McGowan Files for Divorce
Rose McGowan is pulling the plug on her marriage ... filing for divorce.
According to the divorce docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Rose cites the boilerplate "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for ending her 2 year marriage to David Leavitt, who works as a visual artist.
The couple had no kids and we don't know if there's a prenup. Rose's net worth is reportedly around $18 mil.
The 42-year-old actress is asking the judge to reject any claim for spousal support.
It looks like there won't be much of a fight, because the papers indicate there will be a "stipulated judgment," which sounds like a settlement between the 2 of them.

Master P I'm Not What I Used to Be ... So Back Off Sonya
Master P is a shadow of his former self in the money department, so he wants his estranged wife to lower her expectations and he's asking the divorce judge for help.
The mogul sent a letter to the judge -- obtained by TMZ -- in which he says Sonya Miller is bleeding him dry with $10k a month in child support and more than $16k a month in spousal support.
He says her taste for the high life is insatiable ... he gave her $8k to find a new place to live and she wants another $20k to get a better crib. What's especially galling, he says, is that she needs a new place because she's alienated her landlord with loud parties and "rude and vulgar" conduct.
Master P says all he cares about is the welfare of his children, and he's distraught that Sonya just sits around and allegedly smokes pot with their 19-year-old daughter, who dropped out of high school.
P was frank in one of the documents, saying, "This is not the 90s, you guys don't know my situation."
It's interesting, Sonya's view is that she helped P build a $200 million empire, and now she wants a big piece of the pie.

Gilbert Arenas 'Behaving Badly' Ordered to Co-Parenting Class
Gilbert Arenas has been "behaving badly" and needs to change ... so says a judge who just ordered the ex-NBA star to attend co-parenting classes with his ex ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Gilbert and Laura Govan -- the mother of his 4 children -- were just in L.A. County Superior Court ... where they've been battling out a custody arrangement ever since their nasty split last year.
But on Monday, the judge admonished Arenas in open court -- saying, "Gilbert is behaving badly. He needs to change."
As we previously reported, Laura has claimed Gilbert is a "reckless parent" -- and was furious after he posted a video of their 8-year-old son dangerously riding on the front hood of a Polaris back in December.
The hostility between Laura and Gilbert goes back way further than that -- but on Monday, the judge told them they NEED to learn to get along for the sake of the kids and ordered them to 12 hours of co-parenting classes, which must be taken together.
If they don't complete the classes, the judge could alter the arrangement again -- affecting everything from Gilbert's financial obligation to visitation.
They're due back in court in July -- giving them 6 months to figure things out.
Good luck ...
