Stephen Collins My Awful Wife Owes Me a Mil For Molestation Recording

Published | Updated

Stephen Collins is on the attack ... demanding a million dollars from his wife for secretly recording his confession that he's a child molester ... TMZ has learned.

Faye Grant appeared in court Wednesday AM for the first day of their divorce trial. Stephen was a no show, but we obtained docs which outline his new demand. He claims Faye should pay because he can't get work as a result of TMZ posting the audio.

Stephen says Faye had no right to secretly record him in his therapist's office -- that she had a legal duty to protect his privacy. And he claims she's responsible for leaking the recording to TMZ.

Stephen wants a million bucks ... presumably deducted from her share of the community property, which we're told is valued at around $14 million.

The trial was delayed because Faye's lawyer told the judge he didn't want to rep her anymore because of a fee dispute ... so she needs a new lawyer.

Tyler Perry Star I'm Convinced My Husband Will Kill Me

Published | Updated

Tasha Smith says she agrees with her husband that someone in their house has reason to fear murder ... but she says it's her.

The "Why Did I Get Married?" star just filed legal docs, claiming hubby Keith Douglas flies into jealous rages, calling her a "f***ing d**e" and accusing her of sleeping with other women. She says, "When he's in a rage, I feel that he is capable of killing me."

We broke the story ... Douglas has similar concerns, saying Smith flies into booze-fueled rages and threatens to kill him, warning him to "not fall asleep or something will happen."

Douglas got a restraining order last week, requiring Smith to stay an absurd 2 yards away from him while they're in the house together ... but we're told Douglas has since moved out.

Smith says she'll call a bunch of celebs in their divorce case to validate her claims of abuse, including Tisha Campbell Martin and Elizabeth Rohm.

Smith says in her docs she's friends with Michael Jace -- "The Shield" actor who allegedly shot and killed his wife -- and says she told her husband she was worried she'd end up like Jace's wife.

Both deny the allegations the others have made. Fortunately, they didn't have kids together.

Johnny Weir I Got the Dog and Faberge Egg ... My Ex Gets Squat

Published | Updated

Johnny Weir's ex believes the judge in his divorce case screwed the pooch ... because Johnny has been awarded full custody of their tiny little dog.

And there's more in the bad news department for Victor Voronov ... he doesn't get to keep the $20,000 Faberge egg that was a big bone of contention in their nasty divorce.

We found out Johnny and Victor quietly went to court late last week and the judge laid down the law over some precious items. The Japanese Chin, Tema, was the biggest source of heartache. Victor sobbed back in March, as he watched Weir scoop Tema up and remove her from their home.

The judge also gave Johnny's lawyer permission to sell their wedding rings and the pricey egg to cover legal fees.

Johnny threw a crying fit over the egg -- which led to a 6-hour standoff at their storage facility.

Victor also got shut down in his attempt to get more spousal support, so all he gets is a grand a month.

Why do we think this fight's not over?

Terrence Howard Between IRS and My Wife I Choose Taxes

Howard is using his massive tax debt to torpedo his wife's bid to squeeze money out of him.

He owes the feds $1.2 million ... and the State of California $156K. So the nerve, he says in new court docs, of ex-wife Michelle Ghent to demand nearly a half a million bucks in back spousal support and legal costs.

Howard says in the docs he paid her $2,000 this month ... which is all he can afford.

We'll see if the blood/turnip argument works.

This is Ricki's second divorce. She split from Rob Sussman in 2004.
