Breakups

Larry King is moving on ... once again -- he's divorcing his 7th wife, Shawn Southwick King.

Larry filed divorce docs Tuesday in L.A. Superior Court ... pulling the plug on his 22-year marriage to Shawn. The couple does not have any minor children -- their 2 sons, Cannon and Chance ... are 19 and 20 years old, respectively.

They've been down this road at least once before. In 2010, the former CNN host filed for divorce, and it was actually a race to the courthouse -- Shawn tried to file first, but Larry's legal team was faster on the draw. Didn't matter in the end ... he and Shawn eventually reconciled.

They dealt with more marital turmoil in 2016, when they publicly addressed cheating rumors.

The breakup comes on the heels of Larry's medical crisis in April, where he suffered what doctors described to Shawn as a heart attack.

This will be 85-year-old Larry's 8th divorce ... assuming he goes through with it this time. He married one of his wives, Alene Akins, twice ... that was way back in the 1960s.

Lord, he was born a ramblin' man ...

Mary Lynn Rajskub -- the actress best known for playing Chloe O'Brian on the hit show "24" -- is divorcing her husband of 10 years ... TMZ has learned.

Mary filed legal docs to end her marriage with Matthew Rolph in L.A. on Tuesday. The couple began dating more than a decade ago and had a son, Valentine Anthony, in 2008.

They wed the next year in August 2009.

Along with playing Kiefer Sutherland's trusted sidekick for 8 seasons, she's also had major roles in movies like "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Safety Not Guaranteed" ... and hilariously plays the character Gail the Snail on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."

Rolph is a personal trainer-turned-actor with a few minor roles to his name.

Big bro is doing his damndest to lift lil bro Liam Hemsworth's post-breakup spirits with a little surf and sand Down Under -- problem is, doesn't look like it's working.

Liam and Chris Hemsworth hit up Byron Bay for a beach sesh ... it's their natural habitat, really. They went shirtless, as usual, while hanging with a group of friends and doing some boogie boarding on what looks like a perfectly great day -- despite Liam's glum face.

Chris looked like the life of the party while Liam seemed more brooding. Ya can't blame him, really, coming on the heels of his surprising split from Miley Cyrus ... which, as we first reported, has turned into a nasty, mud-slinging breakup.

Liam's been down in Oz hanging with Chris and his family ever since they dropped the breakup news about 10 days ago.

Liam hit up a bar with some mates over the weekend and looked a helluva lot more chipper during that outing. Maybe the beach just ain't calling him right now.

Liam Hemsworth did not seem the worse for wear Saturday as he hit-up a bar in Australia with some mates.

Liam was chillin' at a bar and restaurant in Byron Bay, where he's been hangin' since his split with Miley Cyrus was made public.

Seems like Liam's the only one who hasn't hooked up since the split. Miley's been with Kaitlynn Carter, Brody Jenner's ex. Brody's been with Josie Canseco, and then there's Liam. Don't get us wrong ... he has options.

Miley released a song a few days ago, essentially saying what we reported last week ... her team says she was frustrated Liam was abusing substances, including booze and pills -- something his side strongly denies. His side claims the breakup is all about Miley's behavior. His side claims she hooked up with Kaitlynn before the split ... her side says they split months ago.

Aaron Carter's having fun living the single life, but he's also taking time to reflect after what he claims was a nasty and physical breakup ... and admits it's time to make some changes.

We got Aaron out at Dream Motor Cars in L.A. where he was shopping for a Lambo. Call it the ultimate retail therapy, because just a few days earlier he got a restraining order against his ex, Lina Valentina.

As we first reported ... Aaron claims she threatened to stab him. She's also a suspect in a domestic violence dispute after allegedly slapping him prior to their split.

Aaron's putting all that drama behind him, and says he's trying to grow from it. The singer's 31 now and views this as a crossroads in his life -- and opened up to us about making "the right decisions" from here on out.

As we first reported ... his most recent drama started when a family member called cops to perform a welfare check at Aaron's Lancaster, CA crib because they feared he would hurt himself and others.

Sources close to Aaron told us he was fine, but thought his pissed-off ex might have called cops out of spite. Regardless, Aaron tells us he just wants to move on.

Bella Hadid's ex showed up at the same club she was at ... and only minutes later, she ran for the hills!!!

The model hit up Catch One Thursday night in Los Angeles, and she had about 40 minutes to herself before The Weeknd came through ... and then she escaped like a bat outta hell!!!

Bella looked super stoked for a night out with her friends, arriving to the Hollywood hot spot in great spirits ... but it's unclear if she and The Weeknd chatted inside.

As we reported ... Bella and The Weeknd broke up earlier this month, calling it quits once again. They've been on and off since 2015 when they were first linked at Coachella.

Based on their history, ya can't rule out another reconciliation ... but, at least on this night, Bella wasn't having it.

Kaitlynn Carter faced the public for the first time since her Italian rendezvous with Miley Cyrus and her smirk said it all ... she's loving the attention.

Brody Jenner's ex and her entourage rolled into The Grove Thursday for an appearance on Whitney Port's live podcast. 'The Hills' star and Kaitlynn covered tons of things but they DID NOT talk about what everyone wants to hear ... Miley and Kaitlynn's hookup.

As we reported ... she spent a helluva weekend in Europe with Miley. They hugged and kissed for the world to see on the same weekend she and Liam Hemsworth announced they were splitting.

They returned to L.A. looking a little spent but their sudden hookup has others scoffing.

Brody's friend and costar, Brandon Thomas Lee, doubled down and told us Thursday night while leaving The Nice Guy ... he thinks Miley and Kaitlynn contrived their makeout sesh to get attention. Earlier this week, he said it's obvious they're just trying to mess with their exes.

As you know by now, Brandon chimed in once Miley and Kaitlynn's pics surfaced and joked with Brody, who came back with his own take. Miley got the last jab in the thread, telling Brody to go take a nap in his truck.

Less than a week later, seems everyone's moved on -- Brody's now hanging with Josie Canseco ... while Miley and Kaitlynn are still hanging out.

As we reported, Miley dropped a new single, "Slide Away," which reflects the real-life struggles of her failed marriage, at least from her perspective. Speaking of failed relationships ... Kaitlynn actually talked about her breakup with Brody on the podcast.

Our friends over at TooFab broke it all down.

Miley Cyrus just dropped a new single -- less than a week after she announced her split with Liam Hemsworth -- and the lyrics seem to reflect the real-life struggles of her failed relationship. In fact, 2 sources say that's exactly what she wrote about.

Miley released "Slide Away" Friday with song artwork that included a bottle of booze and pills floating in a pool. The lyrics are ominous, saying, "Once upon a time it was paradise. Once upon a time I was paralyzed. I think I'm gonna miss these harbor lights. But it's time to let it go."

TMZ broke the story ... sources close to Miley told us she tried desperately to save her relationship, but became tired of Liam's partying. His side stated the drug and alcohol accusations were only a cover for Miley's recent outrageous public behavior.

Miley makes a drug and alcohol reference in the song -- and you have to imagine it's rooted in her struggles with Liam -- saying, "I want my house in the hills. Don't want the whisky and pills. I don't give up easily but I don't think I'm down."

As we reported -- sources close to Liam claimed infidelity on Miley's part -- though those connected to Miley call BS ... saying the couple split months ago. A photo of Liam from June without a wedding ring on seem to back that up.

Another verse in the new single says, “Once upon a time it was made for us, woke up one day and it turned to dust,” Cyrus continues. “Baby, we were found, but now we’re lost. So it’s time to let it go.”

"Little Women: LA" star Christy Gibel is telling a tall tale by claiming her marriage to Todd was sexless ... at least according to Todd, who says they definitely banged.

Todd's filed his response to Christy asking a court to annul their marriage ... pushing back against her claim the marriage was never consummated, and denying her allegations of financial fraud.

According to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Todd says Christy's claim that "we did not have sexual intercourse once" during the marriage is flat-out false and sells his sex game short.

It still sounds like they weren't doing the nasty on the regular, though. In the docs, Todd says he had trouble with his mobility during their time together, so he usually slept downstairs while she slept upstairs. He adds, the short climb up the stairs was just too damn painful for his body.

As for Christy accusing him of financial fraud ... Todd claims he didn't take out loans in her name without her consent. He says he took loans out against his 401k and used some of the money to buy Christy's daughter the "princess bedroom" of her dreams.

Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter just touched down in L.A. following their very eventful Italian getaway ... and the two grabbed a ride together after the flight.

The pair was spotted driving around the City of Angels Wednesday after arriving back in town from their European vacation -- where they seemed to have a great time together -- right as Miley and Liam publicly announced their separation to the world.

ICYMI, the two gals were seen getting pretty cuddly near a pool outside their hotel in Lake Como ... kissing at one point. Sources connected to the pair tell us the two are currently seeing each other, but wouldn't call it dating.

Kaitlynn is newly single as well ... calling it quits with Brody Jenner. It's all good on that end -- BJ's already moved on, and is dating Josie Canseco.

It started out amicable, but the breakup between Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth is now in nasty territory ... with claims of drug use and infidelity.

Sources with direct knowledge of the breakup are telling radically different stories. Sources from Miley's side tell TMZ, she tried valiantly to save the marriage and the dealbreaker was that Liam was drinking a lot and using certain drugs, and she wanted no part of it ... especially since she struggled with substance abuse in the past.

Sources from Liam's side are calling BS, saying the drug and alcohol claims are designed to mask what they say really destroyed their marriage ... they claim infidelity on Miley's part.

As you saw, Miley and Kaitlynn Carter were making out in Italy last Friday ... though our Miley sources made it clear ... she had broken up with Liam months earlier -- we're told Liam begs to differ. He was also without his wedding ring weeks ago.

As one source put it, "This is another attempt by Miley to distract from her infidelity and recent outrageous public behavior."

Aaron Carter isn't taking any chances with an ex-girlfriend he says threatened to stab him with a knife ... he was just granted a restraining order against the woman.

Aaron filed for a restraining order Monday in L.A. County Superior Court against Lina Valentina -- his ex who cops recently named as a suspect in a domestic violence report.

According to the docs, Aaron says Lina threatened to stab him several times and carries a knife with her. He claims she physically abused him during their relationship, shoving him and hitting him in the face.

TMZ broke the story ... police took a report for an alleged incident between Aaron and Lina that went down July 31 around 2 AM at the singer's Lancaster pad. Our sources say Aaron told cops she slapped him in the face, leaving a bruise on his cheek.

The alleged incident happened only days before Aaron confirmed his split with Lina.

Paris Hilton body art is a thing of the past for her ex-fiance, who replaced a tattoo of her name with something more primal ... or at least, primate.

Chris Zylka -- who was engaged to Paris for about 10 months or so last year -- popped into Chronic Ink Tattoo Shop in Markham, Ontario Sunday for a big project ... covering up his Disney-themed "Paris" tat that was spread across the bulk of his left forearm.

We're told Chris -- who's up north shooting a new Netflix show -- explained to the tattoo artist, Winson Tsai, that he wanted to cover up his "Paris" ink before he finishes his shoot by the end of the week ... while also admitting it was time for him to ditch the tat.

Welp, they definitely got the job done -- and in record time too, it seems. Chris' arm, which also featured a lion tat, now has a full-blown gorilla on it ... with leaves, for added effect.

Our sources say the work took about 6 hours total to complete, and that for this type of detailed tat ... it can run folks upwards of $1,300. It's unclear if Chris paid that though.

As for why he opted for an ape -- we're told it's because Chris felt it's a nice, peaceful animal, and his favorite one as well. RIP to that lion (and Disney "Paris" for that matter ) ... those tats are long gone from his arm now.

Wendy Williams' fans can breathe a sigh of relief -- she's shutting down rumors about her show shutting after its upcoming season.

The daytime TV host was hanging with another host, Andy Cohen, on his SiriusXM show Monday in NYC. Afterward, we asked her point-blank if she can put her fans' minds at ease by addressing the show's future. Wendy turned as she got into an SUV and pulled a Mark Twain on us -- meaning, she essentially said rumors of her show's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

According to a recent NY Post report ... some of Wendy's staffers were secretly looking for jobs because there's nothing guaranteed after season 11, which kicks off next month.

Wendy says that's news to her and insists she's not going anywhere.

Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter are seeing each other -- something we're told didn't start until they had both broken up with their spouses -- but our sources say this all came AFTER a valiant attempt by Miley to save her relationship with Liam Hemsworth.

Sources connected to Miley and Liam tell TMZ ... the 2 were struggling with various issues for months, and she pushed for the 2 of them to go into therapy and took other steps to make their marriage work. As one source put it, "He didn't come close to meeting her half way."

It became apparent a while ago it wasn't going to work and they drifted apart. We're told they've been separated for "months." Check out the photo of Liam from back in June, grocery shopping without his wedding ring.

There are new pics of Liam in Australia with brother Chris, and he looks sad. That may well be the case, but we're told in no uncertain terms ... nothing was sprung on him -- it was a long time coming.

As for Miley and Kaitlynn, we're told they did not get together until after their respective splits, but they have history. Miley and Liam were friends with Kaitlynn and Brody Jenner for years. They all lived in Malibu and after wildfires destroyed their neighborhoods late last year, we're told the foursome became even closer.

As we reported ... Miley and Kaitlynn were making out poolside in Lake Como over the weekend. We're told they're seeing each other, with no labels attached.

Liam Hemsworth's looking as devastated as you'd expect, and even his nieces, nephews and big bro Chris are struggling to lift his spirits.

Liam, Chris and Chris' 3 kids hit up a frozen yogurt shop Monday in Australia ... and it's obvious Liam's hurting, fresh off his split from Miley Cyrus. Chris, who turned 36 on Sunday, and his kids -- 7-year-old India and 5-year-old twins Tristan and Sasha -- entertained themselves while waiting for their treat. They obviously couldn't do the same for Uncle Liam.

His only expression was somber ... after he and Miley shockingly split just 8 months into their marriage. While he's hanging with Chris, Miley kept herself busy over the weekend.

As we reported ... Miley and Brody Jenner's ex, Kaitlynn Carter, were spotted canoodling poolside in Italy. The longtime friends weren't shy about expressing their affection -- hugging, kissing and holding hands while they soaked up the sun.

Brody's reaction was to joke pics of him and Liam holding hands are coming soon, which quickly drew Miley's ire. She fired back with a mic drop of her own.
