Tia Carrere's Divorce -- We'll Split the Movie Script
Tia Carrere did one hell of a job protecting her assets in her divorce from photojournalist Simon Wakelin -- but there's one thing (besides their kid) that the two will have to share ... a movie script they worked on together.
Earlier this week, an L.A. County Superior Court judge finalized their divorce -- and the legal papers show that the two have a pretty solid prenup that takes care of most of the property ... besides a script they wrote together for a movie called "Wave Dancer."
According to the docs, Tia will walk away with a vast majority of the assets, with one big exception -- the couple has agreed to split "all income derived from the script."
FYI, production on the movie, starring Tia, is expected to begin sometime this year.
Only in Hollywood.

Jesse James' Ex -- I'm Following Jesse to Texas!
Jesse James is going to have company in Texas ...because his ex-wife Janine Lindemulder claims she's moving to Austin to be closer to their daughter Sunny.
As we previously reported, the judge in their child custody case had ruled that Jesse could take Sunny to Austin, so she could be closer to her former stepmom Sandra Bullock ... who has a close relationship with the 6-year-old.
But this morning in an Orange County courtroom, Janine's attorney announced that the former porn star intends to follow Jesse to Austin ... and wants some money to help with the transition.
Janine wants $9,000 a month in child support -- with $3,500 of that earmarked for Janine's living expenses. But she didn't get it .
For now, the judge ordered Jesse to pay Janine $50,000 for attorney's fees ... and set his child support rate at $2,000-per-month.
As for custody -- Janine will get Sunny on the weekends ... right after school lets out on Friday afternoons.
UPDATE: The judge just upped Jesse's child support payments to $3,000 a month. Outside of court, Janine told TMZ she considered today's hearing a "win" ... and that she's ready to head to the Lone Star State.

Christina Milian to The-Dream You Screwed Me!
Christina Milian wants a judge a throw out the divorce papers filed by her baby daddy The-Dream -- claiming that he not only lied about the status of their relationship ... but he also cheated on her.
Milian is pissed over The-Dream's claim that they were legally separated when he filed the divorce docs back in February ... just nine days before she gave birth to their daughter.
In her legal response, filed last week in Georgia, Milian claims the marriage wasn't really kaput when he filed the divorce docs -- and subsequently had "marital relations on numerous occasions."
But Milian also claims that if the court does grant the divorce -- it shouldn't be based on The-Dream's claim that the marriage is "irretrievably broken" -- but rather because the The-Dream was cheating on her.
But it gets worse ...
In the docs, Milian admits that she signed a settlement agreement with The-Dream in which both parties waved any alimony or ownership rights to the other person's property.
But Milian claims she only signed the docs because The-Dream brought them to her bedside when she was 9-months pregnant ... when she was in no condition to sign such important papers.
