Celebrity Divorce

Sources tell us, Charlie -- who did bad mouth Denise during the show by calling her a "dognapper" -- sent Denise an email this morning at 10AM PDT threatening that if she did not turn over her pug ... he would continue trashing her on stage.

We're told Denise sent Charlie a response, saying she would never turn the dog over ... and that Charlie could say whatever he wanted about her.

As TMZ first reported ... Denise isn't turning over the dog because she believes Charlie mistreated the pug and is responsible for the death of the dog's companion.

Roseanne and her ex, Ben Thomas, are in the middle of a trial to determine if Roseanne has to foot the bill for Ben's trips to Hawaii to visit their son, Buck. Roseanne lives in Hawaii and Buck attends school there.

During the trial today in L.A.County Superior Court ... Roseanne's legal team said they are in the process of filing for "sole legal and physical custody" of Buck.

Her attorneys expect to complete the process once the judge rules in the current trial.

Outside court, we asked how it went -- and Roseanne simply put her hands together to pray.

A company called Creative Energy Options filed a lawsuit against Kate in Pennsylvania -- claiming back in 2009, she requested one of their marriage counselors to "fly to Los Angeles, CA to perform marriage counseling, then refused to pay for services or travel fees."

TMZ spoke with Dr. Sylvia Lafair -- president of C.E.O. -- who tells us they've reached out to Kate several times in hopes of receiving their payment but she never came up with a check. Lafair adds, "There are commitments that people make ... and they should be followed through."

C.E.O. is seeking $10,476 in damages.

Leisure -- who also starred in the 80s sitcom "Empty Nest" -- cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.

In the court docs, Leisure asks that his ex be denied spousal support.

Sources tell us 12-year-old Cade was visiting Chuck from Colorado, where he lives with him mom, Lori Geyer. Chuck claims the boy was depressed and upset and didn't want to go back. And, Chuck says, Cade complained he was "living with a severe toothache for 2 to 3 months."

Chuck took Cade to a dentist, but feels his son's "health and safety are at risk."

Chuck's lawyer mentioned in court the boy was allegedly abused by being forced to perform physical labor -- including snow removal.

The judge ruled that the Colorado courts have jurisdiction over custody so a hearing has been scheduled there on Tuesday.

Ashlee and Pete have been spotted out together numerous times since she filed for divorce last month ... but this is the first time we've seen them getting physical.

The reason for the divorce -- a midlife crisis, according to Vicki.

According to the docs filed last week in L.A. County Superior Court, Pontius' wife Claire Nolan (pictured above) is requesting the split.

36-year-old Pontius married Nolan back in 2004. They have no children together.

UPDATE: In the docs, Nolan cites "irreconcilable differences" -- and claims the two officially separated back in 2009.

The docs were filed in L.A. Superior Court this week, officially ending the marriage. According to the documents, London and Spradling were married in 1999 and separated all the way back in 2002!

The court docs go on to say Spradling will have sole legal and physical custody of their 15-year-old daughter and London will have to fork over $1,000/month. Neither side was ordered to pay spousal support.

Billy Ray filed the docs in Williamson County, Tennessee, stating, "The parties are attempting a reconciliation."

Billy Ray has been saying Miley Cyrus' fame compromised their family.

Billy Ray and Tish have been seen out together over the last few weeks.

Ashlee and Pete hit up In-N-Out and Taco Bell, but there is no reconciliation. Pete is leaving town today for a month-long series of concerts, and she wanted to boost his spirits before he left.

Our sources say Pete never wanted the divorce and would get back with Ashlee in a second, but she definitely wants out of the marriage.

They're both trying to stay on good terms for the sake of their son, Bronx.

Never underestimate the reuniting power of a Double-Double.

Sources close to Brooke tell TMZ, Charlie's former mother- and father-in-law are uprooting themselves from Florida to make the trip -- and they're looking for a more permanent place in L.A. at this very moment.

As we previously reported, Charlie and Brooke struck a custody agreement on Thursday -- the terms of which remain confidential ... but it seems Brooke could use some help.

We're also told Brooke is launching a new anti-publicity campaign -- insisting she will make a better effort to shield her kids from the media storm surrounding their father.

So far, no official word from Brooke.

Wilde filed the papers last week in L.A. County Superior Court -- citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce.

The 27-year-old "House" actress and her husband Tao Ruspoli have been married for eight years. They separated last month.

The couple has no children.

Their attorneys tell TMZ, "Brooke and Charlie have reached an agreement that resolves their differences. For the benefit of the children, the terms of their agreement will not be disclosed. They ask the public for privacy on this matter."

As TMZ first reported, Charlie and Brooke also struck a deal a week ago ... but she backed out when Charlie tweeted about the agreement.

Ever since then they've been in heated negotiations ... and a showdown was scheduled for court Friday morning -- but we're told that's now canceled.

Danza cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split.

Tony and Tracy Danza have two daughters, Katherine, 23, and Emily, 17.
