Amber Heard Hangin' a Lot with Elon Musk
Amber Heard -- who's in the throes of a divorce with Johnny Depp -- is spending a lot of time with a guy who makes Johnny look like a pauper -- billionaire extraordinaire Elon Musk ... TMZ has learned.
Our sources say Amber has known the Tesla inventor for several years, but in the last few months they've been spending a lot of time together.
Just last weekend Amber and her sister were hanging out in Elon's hotel bungalow in Miami. We're told she had a 1-on-1 dinner at his L.A. house 2 weeks ago. We're told she recently went to Elon's L.A. area office to spend time with him. And we're told he's paid several visits to her home.
No one in Amber's camp is calling it "dating," but we're told the amount of time they spend together has definitely increased.
Elon -- who's worth an estimated $12.7 billion -- is also going through a divorce with Talulah. They married, divorced, remarried and she filed for divorce for a second time in March.

Jay Mohr Files for Divorce from Nikki Cox
Jay Mohr has filed for divorce from Nikki Cox, but we're told it could go the way of Patrick Dempsey.
Mohr filed legal docs Tuesday to end his 9-year-marriage and followed up with an emergency petition Wednesday for full physical custody. In his papers, he claimed Nikki suffers from depression and self-medicates and he worries their 5-year-old son might be at risk if left alone with her. The doc say the drug problem is "serious" and "ongoing."
The judge said he wanted to hear from both, so set the hearing for next month.
In the meantime, Jay and Nikki told us Thursday, "We are very married. Very in love. Very happy and that's really all there is." Translation ... they're trying to work it out.
The divorce docs, filed by Jay's lawyers, Samantha Spector and Joseph Koenig, cite irreconcilable differences. There's also a prenup, according to the filing.

Johnny Depp I Won't Give Amber My Financials Till She Shuts Her Trap
Amber Heard leaks like a sieve, at least when it comes to yapping to the media, so claims Johnny Depp, who does not want to give her any of his financial info unless she swears to keep it private.
Johnny just filed legal docs, obtained by TMZ, in which he concedes Amber is entitled to know something about his financial situation in order to get her cut in their divorce, but he says she has refused to sign a confidentiality agreement.
In the docs Johnny's lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser, claims Amber and her team have been blabbing to the media, suggesting that a TMZ story about details in their settlement negotiations came from Amber's camp.
Johnny also has a problem with the scope of Amber's demands for financial docs. She's asking for records from Johnny's Hollywood Vampire bandmates -- Joe Perry, Alice Cooper, Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum -- which he says is absurd.

Arnold & Maria 5 Years Later ... We're Still Married!!!
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have both moved on with their lives since the split in July 2011. He's had a girlfriend for several years, and she's got a boyfriend. He's established a strong bond with 18-year-old son Joseph Baena. She's moved, redecorated, etc. Oh, they're still married.
It's one of the weirdest divorces in memory. They didn't have a prenup and we're told they essentially worked out a property settlement several years ago ... splitting up the estimated $400 million fortune. There have never been any custody issues. The kids are now all adults. Yet neither Maria nor Arnold have done anything to move the divorce past the finish line.
We're told Arnold and Maria haven't really shared why they continue to stay married. There are theories it's too painful for either to walk away from $200 million, but that really doesn't make any sense. There are others who say it's because Maria is super religious and doesn't believe in divorce, but Arnold could still pull the trigger if he wanted.
Our sources say neither is interested in ending the marriage. It just goes on, as they lead separate lives.

NBA's Byron Scott I Can't Afford My Ex-Wife's Lifestyle ... I'm Unemployed!!
Ex-Lakers coach Byron Scott says he can't keep paying for his ex-wife's baller lifestyle, 'cause he hasn't found a new job yet.
As we previously reported, Scott signed a $17 MILLION contract with the Lakers right after he filed for divorce in 2014. He'd been married to his high school sweetheart, Anita, for 29 years.
Since he was making around $300k per month at the time, the judge ordered him to pay $26k per month in spousal support.
But in new court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, Byron claims his financial situation has changed drastically ... 'cause he got fired in April and isn't pulling those huge NBA checks anymore.
Byron says his only form of income these days is a $50k-per-month deferred compensation check from the Cavs ... and half of that already goes straight to Anita.
On top of that, Byron says he probably won't find a new job 'til next year .... 'cause every team has filled their coaching spots and "there will not be a need for an analyst or commentator" at this point in the season.
Byron is asking the judge to cut off all spousal support payments ... at least for now. The case is due back in court later this month.

Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner Divorce Gone Nowhere
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck announced their split in June 2015, yet they haven't moved an inch in ending their marriage ... sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ.
Divorce papers have not been filed, and we're told neither side has taken any steps to dissolve the marriage.
Ben has been living on the family property since the split, in the guest house.
It's unusual for a couple to announce the end of their marriage yet take no action for more than a year ... and still live within eyeshot of each other.
We're told the inaction is largely about protecting their kids and creating a structure for co-parenting 10-year-old Violet, 7-year-old Seraphina and 4-year-old Samuel.
Our sources say this is not an issue of reconciliation ... although no one's saying that's impossible. As one source put it, "It's just been status quo. Nothing's changed."

Ralphie May Killer Typhoon a Threat to My Kids
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
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.

Lamar Odom Files Divorce Docs ... Umm, Exactly What She Said
Lamar Odom just filed his response to Khloe Kardashian's divorce petition ... and it shows the exes are lockstep when it comes to this breakup.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, Lamar lists the exact same date of separation as Khloe did -- December 13, 2013. Ditto for court's ability to award spousal support to the other. As we reported, our sources say they have a prenup.
They even agree each will pay for their own attorneys, a rarity in Hollywood divorces.
Now that Lamar's officially responded ... seems like it's just a matter of time before this is final. Typically, it's about a 6 month wait in Cali before the court signs off.

Gwen Stefani Hollaback To My Maiden Name
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
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.
We got Courtney Love at LAX Tuesday, who squarely sided with her daughter, essentially saying Isaiah's a scammer.
'Airplane' Director David Zucker I'm Getting Divorced ... But It's All Good

According to the divorce docs, David's asking for physical custody of their teenagers -- a boy and a girl -- but surely wants to share legal custody with Danielle.
And yes, we'll stop calling you Shirley.

Johnny Depp Amber's SCUM to Me Now
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.
It's not the first time Johnny's tattoos turned ugly. Back in the day, when he was dating Winona Ryder, he had a tat that read, "WinonaForever." When that relationship fizzled, he changed it to "WinoForever."
