Breakups

Chris Pratt gave us a peek into the current state of his relationship with Anna Faris, and it's pretty clear he still has love for her.

Check out the video ... it starts out a little rough, with Chris explaining he didn't get an invite to the Emmys.

After some dinosaur talk, he squarely addresses Anna and says she killed as a presenter and then gives a plug for her show.

As we reported, the couple has separated and both have stopped wearing their wedding rings. But it sure seems ... no hard feelings.

Fergie looked visibly uncomfortable answering personal questions about her life with Josh Duhamel just days before announcing their split.

Fergie sat down with "Cubby and Carolina in the Morning" on KTU 103.5 in NYC last Friday and was hit with a range of questions about her life with Duhamel. Not only was she asked about the possibility of welcoming a new kid into their family ... but she was asked about their sex life too.

Fergie does a great job of dancing around the questions ... but you gotta imagine she was squirming inside considering they announced their split less than a week later.

Fergie's fully owning the single life down in Brazil ... in a micro-mini outfit and no Josh Duhamel wedding ring.

Ferg touched down in Rio Wednesday, and tried to draw eyes away from her leggy leopard-print outfit and knee-high boots by holding up her left hand. She flaunted 4 rings spelling out F-E-R-G. Mind you, this was the day before she and Josh announced their separation.

As we reported, they split earlier this year, and say they took time to adjust before announcing it.

Fergie's down there to perform in the Rock in Rio music festival. Josh is back home with their son, Axl, and was seen Wednesday ... still wearing his wedding band.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel are separating after 8 years of marriage.

The couple just released a statement saying, "With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year. To give our family the best opportunity to adjust we wanted to keep this a private matter before sharing it with the public. We are and will always be united in our support of each other and our family."

The two were together in July.

The couple has one child, 4-year-old Axl.

They initially began dating when Fergie appeared on Duhamel's show, "Las Vegas." They dated 5 years before tying the knot at a lavish event in Malibu.

During their marriage, the two would often talk about their love affair -- even appearing on Oprah together -- Josh said Fergie was the yin to his yang, and the best thing that had ever happened to him.

Mel B is playing the sex tape card in her effort to convince a judge to seal her divorce and restraining order case from the public.

According to new docs filed by Mel, and obtained by TMZ, Stephen Belafonte intends to enter 54 videos as exhibits in their legal battle. Mel says Belafonte's made it clear he intends to disclose sensitive info and videos in court -- and she admits at least one of the videos "includes sexually explicit" images of her and Stephen.

Mel believes the court has a duty to shield her kids from being exposed to the sex tapes and any other explicit material he intends to air in court.

Scarlett Johansson is officially a single woman again.

She's finalized her divorce from Romain Dauriac ... according to court records submitted Tuesday in Manhattan. They also settled their custody battle, but the terms are sealed ... according to the NY Post.

Scarlett had asked for primary custody of their 3-year-old daughter, but Romain wasn't down with that ... reportedly because he wants to move back to his native France.

The couple got married in 2014, and Scarlett filed for divorce in March of this year.

Jesse Williams is basking in bachelorhood after settling his child custody feud with his estranged wife.

Paps spotted the actor Wednesday at a gas station in Los Feliz, where he was rockin' a free t-shirt -- literally. The rest of his outfit also says as much.

We broke the story ... Jesse struck a custody deal with his wife, Aryn Drake-Lee, where they'll both share joint legal custody over their 2 little ones ... with conditions, of course.

Mel B's being accused of harassing another potential witness in her divorce war with Stephen Belafonte ... and this time the woman claims Mel wants her to lie about rape.

TMZ has confirmed ... a 22-year-old Swedish student allegedly had threesomes with Mel B and Belafonte and made sex tapes -- just like with their former nanny, Lorraine Gilles.

The student claims she got a surprise call from Mel and, according to the Daily Mail, Mel told her ... "Your sex tape is already out there and your name is already out there and you have to be in court in about 2 or 3 weeks."

Mel allegedly told her it's the law for her to appear in court, and insinuated she wanted the student to testify that Belafonte raped her in the sex tape. She claims Mel said ... "I know about the sex act and that you were crying and saying 'no' and I want you to be in court for that."

The Swedish student denied Belafonte raped her. Our sources say Mel then became angry and tried to badger her into saying he did.

Janet Jackson was verbally abused by her estranged husband, Wissam Al Mana, particularly while she was pregnant with their son ... this according to Janet's older brother, Randy Jackson.

Randy claims Wissam called Janet a "bitch" every day while she was expecting. Randy added, "It came on later in the relationship, verbal abuse and being [made to feel like] a prisoner in her own home."

He went on to tell PEOPLE Janet's been breaking down into tears backstage during her recently resumed world tour ... because "the abuse is still going on" through harassment related to the custody battle over Eissa.

Wissam's attorneys said they would not dignify the hurtful allegations with a response.

The L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services is concerned about the well-being of Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian's baby ... so much so they've gone to court to make sure she's protected.

TMZ has learned the Dept. has gone to L.A. County Dependency Court so a judge can determine if Dream is safe.

Sources familiar with the case tell TMZ, DCFS opened an investigation involving Chyna's alleged drug use, and this was before Rob and Chyna split up.

As we reported, Chyna has obtained a restraining order against Rob after claiming he beat her.

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt have clearly made their son a priority in their separation.

Anna spent Saturday with 5-year-old Jack. She took him to an L.A. carnival.

Sunday was Chris' turn. The two were spotted grabbing some ice cream.

The couple announced their split last month after 8 years of marriage. Neither has officially filed for divorce and there's always a chance they could get back together ... but they've both been out without their wedding rings, which is not a hopeful sign of reconciliation.

Jesse Williams and estranged wife Aryn Drake-Lee have reached an agreement in their divorce ... at least temporarily on the subject of custody of their 2 children ... and there's an indirect connection to Minka Kelly.

The warring couple will share joint legal custody ... which means all decisions made regarding the health, welfare and upbringing will be made between the 2 of them.

The agreement, obtained by TMZ, provides neither parent can make derogatory remarks about the other in front of the children. They also can't use the children as messengers.

And, the agreement provides that neither Jesse nor Aryn "shall introduce a person with whom he or she has a romantic relationship to the children until the relationship has endured at least 6 months."

The agreement does not break down the physical custody arrangement.

TMZ broke the story ... Jesse has been linked to Minka Kelly.

Anna Faris is drowning her breakup sorrows ... in pizza and a diet coke?

Photogs spotted Anna for the first time since she and Chris Pratt announced their split after 8 years of marriage.

Sources connected to the couple tell TMZ, neither Anna nor Chris have filed for divorce. Based on what we know neither Anna nor Chris have even lawyered up.

Anna and Chris announced their split on August 6. One source tells TMZ there was a "serious" underlying issue between Anna and Chris, but the source said there's definitely a chance this will not end in divorce.

For what it's worth, Chris wasn't wearing his ring one week after the split.

'Bachelor' stars Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi didn't even make it to the 6 month mark.

They've broken off their engagement, but in true Hollywood fashion ... they're doing everything they can to make it seem amicable.

They released a joint statement saying they still have love and admiration for each other.

Nick proposed to Vanessa on the season 21 finale of "The Bachelor," which aired in March, and it seemed like they might make it when Vanessa popped up during his "Dancing With the Stars" gig.

Truth is, odds were against them ... these 'Bachelor' hook-ups rarely work out.

Mel B is accusing her ex of putting media exposure ahead of their children's well-being, and now she wants her legal battle with him sealed from the public.

Mel filed docs asking the court to seal her ongoing domestic violence case against Stephen Belafonte because it's attracting so much media attention, it's harming her kids.

Mel says reporters and photographers are waiting whenever she drops off their daughter to visit Stephen, and suspects he's alerting media to the visitation schedule. She says, "While [Stephen] may enjoy the media attention, the minor child of this marriage did not ask to be placed in the center of this mounting storm."

Sources connected to Belafonte tell us he absolutely denies exploiting the case or giving the media a heads up.

In the docs, Mel also says testifying about the alleged abuse in open court would be "further abuse" against her.

A hearing's set for next month for the judge to decide whether to seal the case.

Jesse Williams is firing back at his estranged wife's claim he's not involved enough as a parent -- saying, essentially, she only gets to be at home with the kids because HE has to bring home the bacon.

Jesse filed docs responding to Aryn's allegations ... and says she has the "incredible privilege of being a stay-at-home mom with a full-time nanny" ... purely because he's putting in hard work every day. In the docs, he goes on to say Aryn is punishing him for providing for his family.

The punishment? He says Aryn restricts and "micro manages" the time he gets to spend with their 2 children since their split. He says his FaceTime calls to them frequently go unanswered, and when Aryn does answer ... she sometimes leaves the TV on to distract the kids.

As for Aryn's claims Jesse bullies her ... he says the only aggression the children have witnessed is Aryn screaming at him. According to the docs, Aryn once repeatedly slammed the front door on Jesse's leg while yelling at him.

We spoke with Aryn's lawyer, Jill Hersh, who tells us "it is a shame that Mr. Williams chose to place the children and his family's transition in the public domain."

Hersh added, "Aryn has been working tirelessly to maintain Mr. Williams' bond with their children and it is important to remember that his one-sided allegations are made with a specific goal in mind. The judge is fully informed on both sides and will be making the final decision."

Worth pointing out ... Hersh's comment is an almost word-for-word duplication of comments Jesse's team made in response to Aryn's filing last week.
