Celebrity Divorce

Nas may be loaded, but it makes no difference. He's just filed legal papers asking the judge in his divorce case with Kelis to block her from getting spousal support.

In the papers, filed by his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, Nas is also asking for joint custody of their two-month-old boy.

Kelis is asking for $72,728 a month -- which means they are now exactly $72,728 apart.

We got the estranged wife of Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt leaving Philippe Chow last night with a group of her lady friends. The only guy in the picture: Fuller, who took the wheel when it was time to head out.

As TMZ previously reported, Frank fired Jamie from her job as CEO of the Dodgers after he found out about her relationship with Jeff -- citing an "inappropriate relationship with a subordinate employee" ... i.e. Jeff.

TMZ obtained a restraining order issued against Jeff Fuller, Jamie's new guy. Jeff's wife at the time -- Michele Christine Fuller -- claimed in May 1995, when she was seven months pregnant, she called 911 after Jeff pushed her into a wall and knocked her down.

Fuller also says in December of that same year, after the baby was born, Jeff -- with whom she had already separated -- came to her home and started banging on her window, trying to force his way into the house.

She wrote in her declaration: "I am very afraid. He is becoming more and more violent, and I believe he will start to act on some of his threats."

The judge issued the restraining order on December 20, 1995.

TMZ has obtained a letter Michele sent to Jeff today saying she doubts the legal papers -- which we obtained from microfiche at the courthouse -- are authentic: "I do not think they are authentic or at least they may have been altered."

She adds it was a difficult time in her life and she said and did "things that I later regretted." Michele does not believe she said what was in her declaration.

Michele adds, "[He] was not violent towards me and in fact, I can't imagine [him] being violent towards any woman."

In legal papers filed with the family law judge, the Dodgers organization is asking to be heard as a friend of the court, opposing Jamie's bid to be reinstated as CEO of the operation.

The Dodgers organization claims, "Simply stated, this Court has no jurisdiction to order the Dodgers to do anything because it is a non-party to these proceedings."

According to the legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the Dodgers claim Jamie "has been paid her $2,000,000 a year salary in full through December 31, 2009. She was an at-will employee. The marital dissolution should not be used to interfere with the lawful control and management of the Dodgers."

And get this ... the legal papers state, "Given the dysfunction which was caused by the Petitioner's prior employment, her inappropriate relationship with a subordinate employee and the clear acrimonious relationship between her and Mr. Court (sic), if she were reinstated by order of this Court it would no doubt lead to this Court being called upon to oversee the day to day management of the Dodgers."

The Dodgers allege Jamie was fired "for having an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate employee, Mr. Jeff Fuller, her self-described '24 hour driver' and '24 hour security.'"

The Dodgers grouse that Jamie wants the Dodgers to reinstate her as well as Fuller -- "Translation: She wants the Dodgers to pay her live in boyfriend for his companionship" while working for the organization.

In court papers filed today, Frank describes a conversation he had with Tommy Lasorda back in September, in which the Dodger Hall-of-Famer "surprised" Frank by asking if he was going to an event honoring Lasorda at the Smithsonian in D.C.

Frank claims he had "no knowledge" of the event -- and it was Jamie's duty to tell him about stuff like that.

Frank claims the Lasorda incident was just another example of how Jamie was keeping Dodgers management out of "the loop" -- and uses this example to justify firing her from her job as CEO of the team.

In the documents, filed today by Frank's lawyers, he says he and Jamie signed a marital property agreement in 2004 that spelled out two things: all their residential real estate is her separate property -- while The McCourt Company, Inc., and the Dodgers are his separate property. Frank says Jamie proposed this deal.

In the papers Frank says he "entered into this agreement to honor the request of my wife and ensure that she would have tens of millions of dollars in assets that would be protected from the claims of my creditors."

Basically, the document claims Jamie got what she wanted, and that Frank is "registered with Major League Baseball as the sole owner" of the Dodgers.

Frank goes on to say in the court filing that Jamie wanted a new agreement that would make all their assets, including the Dodgers, community property -- but in May he told Jamie he would not sign that deal.

The couple separated in July, which is when -- according to the documents -- Jamie asked Frank to move out of their Malibu home, and asked him to make Jeff Fuller "just her driver."

We're told Jamie and Jeff have been dating since the McCourts split. The Dodgers fired Jeff in mid-October.

The lawyer, legendary Bert Fields, tells TMZ Frank and Jamie were in the middle of a "happy marriage" in 2004, when Jamie agreed to sign the Marital Property Agreements that Frank presented to her. Those agreements directly addressed ownership of the Dodgers, among other valuable assets.

Fields also tells us that while Frank now claims those Marital Property Agreements gave Frank sole ownership of the Dodgers, Jamie has an "unimpeachable witness" who will attest to the fact that Frank has repeatedly acknowledged Jamie's community property ownership of the team.

FYI -- Fields joins a legal team consisting of family law attorney Dennis Wasser, who has repped stars like Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg.

This is only day one of the official divorce battle ... it's gonna be one hell of a fight.

In the docs, Jamie says they faced a "myriad of creditors" and for that reason certain assets were held solely by Frank -- notably the Dodgers.

Jamie says when she signed the agreements giving away her rights to the Dodgers, she was not represented by legal counsel. Jamie demands that the court declare "that any purported capital Marital Property Agreements are null, void, and unenforceable."

Furthermore, Jamie says the homes she and Frank had were held by her solely -- not as community property.

UPDATE: Jamie is demanding some serious spousal support -- asking for $320,967 per month if her job is reinstated.

But if she doesn't get her old job back, Jamie wants $487,634 per month.

Frank McCourt -- owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers -- is heading to divorce court courtesy of his wife Jamie.

CLICK HERE TO READ THE DOCUMENTS

TMZ has obtained legal docs in which Jamie McCourt has officially petitioned to end her marriage of 30 years, citing "irreconcilable differences."

In the documents, which exceeds 100 pages, Jamie mentions one hefty community asset -- the Los Angeles Dodgers.

"There are substantial community and quasi-community assets and obligations of the parties, including but not limited to the Dodgers' baseball team, the Dodger organization, and the property surrounding Dodger Stadium and Chavez Ravine."

In the documents, Jamie demands her job back as CEO and Vice-Chairman of the Dodgers ... as well as the huge set of perks and benefits that go with owning the squad.

Here are the benefits Jamie is requesting:
- travel by private jet
- 5 star hotel accommodations
- travel expenses - Unlimited
- business dinners 5 nights per week
- business lunches 5 days per week
- parking spots at Dodger Stadium
- flowers in the office
- making Dodger Legends available for events without charge
- provision of Dodger autographed items as requested for use in business and charitable activities
- hair and makeup for Dodger events
- access to team doctors for McCourt family members
- access to the owner's suite for Dodger home games and non-baseball events at the stadium
- Tickets to All-Star games and playoff games -- even if the Dodgers aren't playing
- a pass to all National League games

Then there's this: Jamie lists her monthly living expenses at $488,928 -- THAT'S PER MONTH!!!!!!!!
Of those expenses, $333,000 goes towards her residence and vacation homes.

In the documents, Jamie claims the McCourt estate is valued in excess of $1 BILLION.

Jamie lists the date of separation as July 6, 2009.

Attention single ladies: Corey Feldman is about to be on the market.

TMZ has learned Susie Feldman has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple, who appeared on a reality show with Corey Haim, was married seven years and they have a five-year-old son together.

Susie is seeking full custody and wants Corey to pay for her attorney's fees as well as spousal support.

Marshall Grossman, lawyer for the L.A. Dodgers owner, tells TMZ. "If that is her story then 'security chief' Jeff Fuller has a body double. This 911 call was phoney as any fair observer would realize. Clearly the police recognized its foolishness as no action was taken and Mr. McCourt was never even contacted."

Increasingly, Jeff Fuller seems to be the man in the middle here.

Fuller -- an heir to the Pillsbury fortune who was fired as Director of Protocol for the Dodgers earlier this month -- is romantically involved with Jamie ... though sources say the relationship began after her break-up with Frank.

UPDATE: Jamie McCourt's attorney tells TMZ, "I reiterate, the facts speak for themselves."

Kate Gosselin's lawyer just released a statement regarding the judge's decision this morning to force Jon to hand over the cash he ripped out of the couple's joint bank account a few weeks ago:

"We are clearly pleased that the monies taken by Mr. Gosselin have been returned to the marital account, and we look forward to recouping additional monies taken by Mr. Gosselin at the time of the parties' private arbitration hearings.

A total of at least $235,000 was taken by Mr. Gosselin, and despite his initial comments denying responsibility, we have established that Ms. Gosselin needed emergency relief to prevent her economic claims from being compromised."

We got these pictures of Jamie yesterday, lunching in Malibu with Jeff Fuller -- the new guy in her life. Now, in the awkward department, until recently Jeff was the Director of Protocol for the Dodgers.

We're told Jamie and Fuller began seeing each other after she split with Frank. Fuller was fired from the Dodgers in mid-October.

BTW, Fuller's late mom was an heir to the Pillsbury fortune ... translation, he's loaded.

As for Frank ... he was lunching yesterday with some dude at Hotel Montage.

Last week, Avril signed over the deed to the multimillion dollar Sherman Oaks home to Deryck, naming him the new "sole and separate" owner -- just four days after she filed for divorce on October 9th.

But the house also came with a lot of debt -- as of October 14th, there was still over a million dollars left on it to pay off.

Tom Sizemore's ex-girlfriend says the actor knocked her up with twins then left the three of 'em to fend for themselves -- because he allegedly bailed on a massive amount of child support.

According to a lawsuit filed last week in L.A. Superior Court, Sizemore owes babymama Jinele McIntire $58,800 in child support for the couple's two boys, who were born in 2005.

In the first line of the lawsuit, Jinele makes her point clear, "TOM SIZEMORE is a DEAD BEAT DAD."

Jinele says because of Tom's non-payment, she's been forced to live with a friend while the kids stay with her brother in Texas. She adds Sizemore "has made no attempt to see them there."

Jinele also claims Tom last saw the boys when he was taping "Sober House" -- a gig Jinele says paid $200,000. She also claims Tom made another $200,000 for "Celebrity Rehab."

Besides the overdue child support, McIntire is also seeking health insurance coverage for the kids and $50,000 for attorney's fees.

TMZ obtained the "Notice of Termination" Frank MAILED to his soon-to-be-ex wife Jamie -- who was fired from her job as co-CEO of the team the day before the Dodgers were eliminated from the playoffs. Mind you, this letter was sent just 2 weeks before the couple's 30th wedding anniversary.

The letter begins, "Dear Jamie -- This is to inform you that your employment with and positions as Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairperson of Los Angeles Dodgers LLC, as well as any and all of the positions that you hold ... are hereby terminated effective immediately."

Though hard to believe, it gets even colder:

"Because your employment is held at-will, the Organization is not required to have cause to terminate your employment and may do so for any reason or no reason at all.

However, your actions, including, but not limited to, your insubordination, non-responsiveness, failure to follow procedures, and inappropriate behavior with regard to a direct subordinate, have made this decision necessary."

And for good measure, we've also learned Frank locked Jamie out of her office today. We're told Jamie called her assistant and asked her to open the office door -- she was informed her key no longer worked.
