Nas/Kelis Tried Reconciling

Published | Updated

Kelis and Nas were ready to call off the divorce and give it a second chance ... but it didn't work.

Kelis is on the stand right now in her ongoing divorce case with Nas. She testified she attempted to reconcile with her estranged hubby in September, but it didn't work.

She's also talking about the difficulty she has earning money -- because with a new kid and not a lot of job options outside the music business, it's tough out there.

One of the big issues in the case -- how much money Nas makes. Kelis testified she knows Nas is set to release two albums next year. The judge asked Kelis what she heard about the albums on TMZ and other newsworthy entities. She said, simply, "Loved it."

So do we.

Hulk Hogan to Judge: I Want My Toilet Seat Back!

Published | Updated

Hulk Hogan is making a huge stink over his beloved toilet seat -- and now he wants to have a sit-down with a Florida judge in the hopes of making his ex-wife give the damn thing back.

TMZ has obtained legal documents, in which the wrestler accuses Linda of stripping his home of all sorts of valuable stuff when she moved out -- including chandeliers, a tanning bed, a wine rack, fixtures, bathtubs, speakers ... and most importantly, "the wooden antique toilet seat from the guest house."

In the docs, Hulk claims Linda's alleged pillaging left the home in such a bad state, that Hulk refuses to let his realtor show the place to potential buyers ... so they can sell it and move on.

A man without his beloved toilet seat is not really a man at all.

Jon & Kate Emergency!

Published | Updated

Jon and Kate Gosselin may have a new player in the divorce. We've learned the lawyer who repped Jon Gosselin at the beginning of his divorce has just filed an emergency petition to intervene in the case .. and it's all over money.

Attorney Charles Meyer withdrew from the case in September, just before Mark Heller took over. Prior to his withdrawal, we're told there was an agreement with Jon that his lawyer's fees would be paid from Jon's share of the property distribution. We're told Jon owes Charles around $43,000 so Charles is asking the judge to make sure he gets paid before Jon gets his cut.

Jon and Kate -- The Final Curtain

Published | Updated

Jon and Kate Gosselin's divorce is heading to a conclusion, after a contentious day Saturday at the arbitration table. We've learned even Jon isn't contesting that Kate should get primary custody and a decision on who gets what in the money department will be handed down within 30 days.

Sources tell us the two issues on the battlefield are the distribution of assets and child support. In Pennsylvania, the courts award "equitable" distribution when it comes to property, but that doesn't necessarily mean 50/50.

Sources tell us neither party asked for spousal support.

We're told Jon and Kate actually agreed to the amounts certain items were worth, but they were far apart on issues relating to how the assets should be distributed.

The arbitration was supposed to last two days -- today and Monday -- but it all got handled on Saturday.

Both Jon and Kate testified in the arbitration. The decision of the arbitration is binding on both of them.

Dodger Divorce -- Sooooo Hollywood

Published | Updated

Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and estranged wife Jamie spent a lovely evening with their respective lawyers at Spago restaurant in Bev Hills recently. Actually it wasn't lovely at all.

Our sources say Jamie and her mega-lawyer, Dennis Wasser (back to camera) asked Frank and his legal eagle, Marshall Grossman, to join them at Wolfgang's joint on October 8th, 3 months after the couple split. Someone we know at a table nearby took the pic.

Grossman tells TMZ it was "awkward ... a chilly evening," adding he thought it was going to be a conciliatory dinner but was more like "the last supper."

We're guessing it went something like this ...

Frank
: Marshall, would you please tell the shrew to pass the salt?
Jamie: Dennis, please tell Frank he's a moron.
Frank: Marshall, tell her at least this moron owns the Dodgers.

Grossman groused that Jamie and Dennis split before the bill came, so Frank picked up the tab.

As for Wasser, he tells us he also reps Wolfgang, so he didn't have to bring a special taster for safe measure.
