Celebrity Divorce

Brandi Cibrian claims the "CSI: Miami" star has left her essentially high and dry since he took off back in August after 8 years of marriage -- refusing to give her a dime for food and gas.

According to documents filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Brandi claims Eddie is raking in $60,000 a week on his show, but he's currently only paying for Brandi's "household bills."

Now, Brandi wants some serious jack so she can take care of the couple's two young children -- as well as herself. She's asking for $39,963 a month in spousal support so she can pay for things like the kids' schooling, the car, medical bills and of course -- pilates.

Earlier this year, the O'Neals had been pitching out a show called "Love Shaq," based on several family-style reality shows like "Meet the Barkers," "Newlyweds" and "Til Death Do Us Part" -- but unlike those couples, the O'Neal's marriage fell apart before the show ever aired.

TMZ got in contact with A&E, who confirmed they had seen the pilot -- and told us they are still "considering" whether or not to purchase the show. FYI -- the show is obviously not in production at the moment.

But the show could be dead before A&E gets to make a decision -- as we previously reported, Shaunie's already moved out -- pulling their kids out of their Florida school and relocating to L.A.

In an interview with the L.A. Times, Jamie denied her husband's accusations that she was engaged in an "inappropriate relationship" with former Dodgers employee Jeff Fuller before things ended with Frank, saying, "I have never been with another man until the marriage broke up. Ever. Ever."

Jamie added, "I never even had a date until I was separated -- besides my husband."

Jamie also mentioned she had a plan to buy the Dodgers outright saying, "I don't need to be the controlling interest, I just love baseball that much and want to stay a part of it and lend my expertise any way I can."

It's unclear when and how Jamie plans on making her move.

For more than 15 months, the Rolling Stones member has been very publicly runnin' around with a very young, very hot Russian cocktail waitress (left) -- and it seems Ronnie's wife has finally had enough.

TMZ has learned Shaunie filed legal papers yesterday in L.A., even though the couple lives in Florida. The petition says although Shaunie is filing for legal separation, she intends to file for divorce. She lists "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for separation.

We're told Shaunie pulled her kids out of school in Florida several days ago and they are with her now in L.A.

Why, you ask, would Shaunie cross the country to file in L.A.? Well, a spouse generally does a lot better in the spousal support department here in California. Shaunie is asking for both spousal and child support -- though she did not specify an amount for either.

Shaunie claims in her papers to be a resident of L.A. since November 8, 2009 -- 2 days ago.

The date of separation is listed as 11-9-09. The couple has 4 minor children. Shaunie wants legal and physical custody of all the kids.

They have been married for 6 years, 11 months.

And, in a scene straight out of "War of the Roses," the judge ruled Jamie gets exclusive rights to the family swimming pool in Holmby Hills between 6 AM and 2 PM.

The judge also ruled Jamie gets exclusive use for now of the couple's Malibu home, each gets 2 trips to their various homes to remove their valuables and neither one can remove the other's name from their credit cards.

Frank fired Jamie last month after the bitter split in a marriage that lasted nearly 30 years.

Here's the lowdown. This past weekend we posted a story that Jeff Fuller -- who was fired by the Dodgers last month as either the Director of Protocol or a driver -- was accused in 1995 by his then-wife of brutalizing her when she was 7 months pregnant .... pushing her into a wall and knocking her down. The wife -- who now goes by Michele DesMarteau -- got a restraining order against Jeff.

We also posted a letter Jamie's rep forwarded to us from Michele to Jeff, which said Michele believed the legal documents we obtained had been altered and that Jeff was never violent.

Now ... Michele contacted us yesterday and said she never wrote the letter Jeff's rep forwarded to TMZ. She says Jeff asked her to make the "false statement" but she refused. She says he wrote the letter knowing the incident really did occur.

Jeff tells TMZ Michele "approved" the letter. He did not say if she wrote the letter or if he wrote it. Interesting.

NFL on CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz made one really bad call -- with a 29-year-old woman -- and it set a divorce in play that will cost him nearly a million bucks a year for the rest of his life.

A Connecticut judge ordered the famous announcer to pay his ex-wife $864,000 a year in alimony -- and the only way out is death ... or if his ex-wife remarries.

The judge's decision comes in light of Nantz's admission that he began dating a 29-year-old woman before he ended his 26 year marriage. Smooth...

Nantz also has to pay $1,000 a week in child support for their 15-year-old daughter for the next two years.

Jim's wife also gets the couple's Westport mansion -- no word if he gets to keep the couch he's probably been sleeping on.

Look, up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... the guy who played Jimmy Olsen on "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" filing for divorce.

Justin Whalin filed for the Big D last week from his hot wife, Reina Flynn, this according to documents obtained by The Daily Planet TMZ.

The dynamic duo had been married for three years -- they have no minor children.

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.
