Ashton and Demi Divorce Final
Ashton Kutcher has something to be thankful for this week -- his divorce from Demi Moore was just finalized ... TMZ has learned.
The docs were filed Tuesday afternoon by disso-queen Laura Wasser on Kutcher's behalf, ending the marriage that began in 2005. The two had separated in 2011.
The reason it took so long for the saga to finally end (Ashton initially filed for divorce in Dec. 2012) -- is because they were squabbling over money.
As we first reported, Demi wanted spousal support even though she's worth way more than Ashton. Our sources say she backed off that claim.
We're told ... they ultimately reached a financial settlement and Ashton gave Demi somewhat more than he had to, but at least it's finally over ... and now he can focus on getting hitched to Mila Kunis (if he wants).

Charlie Sheen Goes Off On Children Services ... Again
Charlie Sheen broke his promise not to trash the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services ... because he just went off on the agency ... again.
Charlie tweeted the following, everything with the letters DCFS:
Short story ... Charlie is livid that DCFS is allowing Brooke to eventually establish full custody.
He's violated the gag order before, and this obtuse tweet (or not so obtuse) may not sit well with the judge. Remember, Charlie's lawyer promised he'd be a good boy and muzzle himself.

Marc Anthony's Ex JLo Gets Child Support I Got a Crappy Valley Apt!
Marc Anthony's ex-wife claims the singer has turned a cold shoulder on her children ... forcing them to sell their home and move into a hovel in the Valley ... while he lives like a king -- and to add insult to injury, he pays the very rich Jennifer Lopez a ton of child support ... this according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
Dayanara Torres -- the 1993 Miss Universe -- wants a huge increase in child support -- from $13K per month for their 2 sons, to $113K a month. It's an enormous increase, but she says it's a drop in the bucket for Marc -- who this year boasted he makes $1.25 mil a month -- MINIMUM.
It's especially infuriating for Dayanara, who claims Marc played the poverty card during their divorce, claiming he had such money trouble he had to sell his private island and let some of his staff go. Now get this ... the week the divorce became final, she says he bought JLo a $4 MILLION RING!
Dayanara says Marc goes weeks and even months without seeing their boys, one of whom has special needs. She mentions one instance where he told the boys he couldn't visit because of work, but then they saw him on TV cavorting on a beach with JLo. They were devastated.
Dayanara gives Marc backhanded credit for giving the kids lavish gifts. For example, last XMAS he sent them 4 huge boxes of toys, including an extravagant Lego set. But she says their apartment is so small they have no space to play with them.
She also grouses that Marc actually PAYS JLO child support, and a lot of it -- way more than she gets.

Tracey's not offended either way ... calling the interview "beautiful."

Francesca Eastwood Booze Not to Blame ... for My Stupid Wedding
Francesca Eastwood knows her wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am marriage was a huge mistake ... but she's not blaming her bad decision on alcohol ... 'cause she says she doesn't drink. Ever.
Francesca -- who's already made up her mind to annul her week-old marriage to Jordan Feldstein -- was leaving Mastro's after dinner with friends (sans hubby) when she tried to set the record straight.
Problem is ... we're not really buying what she's selling.
As we previously reported, multiple sources tell us there was a TON of drinking involved when the couple decided to head to a Vegas chapel and tie the knot last weekend.
Plus, would a sober person really swap "I dos" in front an Elvis impersonator???
Yeah, that's what we thought.

Charlie and Brooke Twins May Move to Another Strange House
Charlie Sheen's vagabond twins may be moving yet again, because sources tell us their new guardian -- Brooke Mueller's brother Scott -- may be uprooting them to a fancy beach community.
We broke the story ... Scott Mueller intended to move into Brooke's home in the same gated community where Charlie lives, so the kids could stay in familiar surroundings and attend the same school.
Here's the problem. Charlie is so fed up with Brooke, he wants her out of his neighborhood. Charlie has the power to make her move, because he owns the house and he told TMZ he plans to put it on the market as early as today -- for $4.8 mil, which is what he paid for it.
Sources close to Scott tell TMZ ... if it looks like Charlie is serious, Scott will take the twins to his home in ritzy Manhattan Beach, approximately 20 miles from where they live now. Scott has a daughter the same age as the twins, and he'd enroll them in her school in the beachside community.
As for Brooke ... it doesn't matter where Scott lands -- his home or the one she's in now -- the judge has clarified that she can't live under the same roof until she gets custody back. So, as we reported, she's looking for a condo.
Brooke is currently allowed to see the kids for 3 days a week, with 2 overnight visits.

Brooke Mueller Stick Fighting With Twin Sons
Charlie Sheen's ex-wife Brooke took her kids for a walk in Beverly Hills yesterday and began to entertain them mid-hike by turning her walking stick into a sword ... and flailing it around like He-Man.
As we previously reported, her brother Scott was awarded temporary guardianship over the twins while Brooke deals with her latest drug issues ... and he was there too.
It may seem innocent -- but teaching her kids how to wield a giant stick properly when they're being accused of constant violence by ex-guardian Denise Richards seems kinda dumb ... so we gotta ask ...

Simon Cowell Lauren's Divorce Settlement Simon, Stay Away From Her Son ... OR ELSE!
Simon Cowell's baby mama, Lauren Silverman, signed a divorce settlement agreement which has a shocking penalty -- if Simon goes near her 7-year-old son, she has to pay her ex a $50,000 PENALTY!
TMZ is privy to the unbelievable settlement agreement, which also provides that if Lauren violates the Simon stay-away clause 3 times, she loses all contact with her son, Adam, until a court deals with the violations.
The Simon stay-away clause only lasts until January, 2015. So presumably the kid can be around Simon in a year ... if he's still part of Lauren's life.
But the plot thickens. The settlement agreement also provides Andrew Silverman, Lauren's ex, cannot trash Simon to Adam and has a legal obligation to make sure no one else around him talks smack.
And there's a clause in the settlement that provides Lauren and Andrew both agree to prevent Adam from calling anyone other than them "mother" or "father." Translation: Simon is not your daddy.
Andrew agrees to pay Lauren $3k a month in child support ... a modest amount and it goes to what TMZ has been reporting ... that Simon will become the cash cow.
Finally, Lauren and Andrew agreed to change the cause of divorce from adultery to "broken down irretrievably."

Simon Cowell's Baby Mama Screw Lawyers ... I Got a Billionaire Divorce Mediator
Simon Cowell's baby mama Lauren Silverman and her ex won't be settling any future disputes through overpaid lawyers -- they've enlisted a trusted mutual friend to hash out their differences ... a man who also happens to be a famous BILLIONAIRE.
According to the divorce settlement, Lauren and Andrew Silverman have named Sir Philip Green as a mediator. Green is the current CEO of the Arcadia Group, which owns the likes of Topshop, and is worth a reported $5.3 billion.
Under the settlement, Green will be one of two mediators (the other being attorney Martin Edelman) for the next 5 years.
We're told the reason Green was named a mediator is because Lauren, Andrew, and Simon each consider him to be a close friend -- and feel comfortable using Green as a neutral go-between.
How do they all know each other? We're told Green introduced Simon to Andrew and Lauren years ago (while Andrew and Lauren were still together) and all four of them hit it off.

Charlie Sheen DODGES Contempt Bullet For Violating Gag Order
Charlie Sheen just learned a cool lesson -- you can call a judge in your custody war an "anus brain" and get away with it, even with a gag order ... and that's exactly what just happened.
We've learned the judge in the DCFS case called all the lawyers in this afternoon for an emergency meeting. Sources connected with Brooke Mueller tell TMZ ... the judge wanted to have a chit chat about Charlie's latest Twitter rant and his appearances on TMZ Live.
You'll recall Charlie exploded on Twitter Friday, calling the folks at Child Services "lascivious and incompetent." Sheen then directed his ire at the judge, calling him "Mr. I'm Italian judge anus-brain."
And Charlie went on "TMZ Live" a couple weeks ago and blasted Brooke, calling her an evil whore who's endangering their children.
Our sources say the judge decided it would NOT be in anyone's best interest to hold a contempt hearing, for fear it would turn into a "circus." So we're told Charlie's lawyer promised his client would muzzle himself and be a good boy. And that was good enough for the judge.
