Ralphie May Killer Typhoon a Threat to My Kids

Published | Updated

Ralphie May's children are about to be right in the path of a massive typhoon that's already killed dozens -- or so he believes, which is why he rushed to court to block his estranged wife's vacay plans.

Ralphie's ex, Lahna Turner, was planning to take their 2 kids to China from July 9-18 for what she called an "educational trip." Ralphie wasn't down with that because he says Lahna's been interfering with his custodial parenting time.

The comedian also busted out meteorology to sway the court -- referencing super typhoon Nepartak. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, he said the storm was on track to hit Shanghai during the vacation.

The court sided with Ralphie and put the kibosh on the Lahna's plans.

Probably for the best ... Nepartak destroyed Taiwan last Thursday, killing more than 20 people, and then headed toward mainland China.

Lamar Odom Khloe Pulls Rug ... And House Out From Under Him

Published | Updated

Lamar Odom is a vagabond without a home, after Khloe kicked him out of the Calabasas rental.

As we reported, Khloe rented the $25k a month home for Lamar just blocks from hers, soon after he OD'd in Vegas last year. She wanted to be near him to help in his recovery.

Well, the last straw was dropped last month after family members found a crack pipe on the property.

We're told Khloe threw Lamar out of the 6,400 square foot pad. The lease is up at the end of the month and we're told she won't renew.

TMZ broke the story ... Khloe filed for divorce in May ... for a second time.

Gwen Stefani Hollaback To My Maiden Name

Published | Updated

Gwen Stefani closed the final chapter on her 13-year marriage to Gavin Rossdale by legally changing her last name back to Stefani.

A judge gave approval last week for Gwen to restore her maiden name. She had legally changed it to Rossdale after the couple tied the knot in 2002.

Their divorce was finalized in April -- after Gavin had been allegedly caught cheating with their nanny.

Gwen still went by Stefani when it came to her stage name, which was a good move in the end.

Frances Bean Cobain It's War ... Ex Wants Kurt's 'Unplugged' Guitar

Published | Updated

The multi-million dollar guitar famously owned by Kurt Cobain -- the last one he played before killing himself -- is at the center of Frances Bean Cobain's nasty divorce.

Frances' estranged hubby, Isaiah Silva, claims she gave him Kurt's Martin D-18E as a wedding present. It's the same instrument the Nirvana frontman famously strummed during his epic "MTV Unplugged" performance.

The acoustic-electric is something of a holy grail for Nirvana fans. For starters, only about 300 were made before Martin discontinued the model. Kurt, who was left-handed, had the bridge and nut replaced so he could play it upside down.

Frances denies giving Isaiah the guitar, and wants it back, with good reason. It was once insured for $1 million and experts now think it's worth several million bucks.

IT'S NOT HIS

Johnny Depp has gone from calling Amber Heard the love of his life to the scum of the earth ... all with a simple tattoo alteration.

Depp inked his arm in Amber last year, shortly after they married. He inked the knuckles on his right hand, "SLIM" ... her nickname.

In the last week or so, he changed the L to a C and the I to a U ... and you don't need to watch "Wheel of Fortune" to know it now spells SCUM.
