Jessica Simpson's parents are splitting the baby in their divorce ... going halfsies on Jessica's massive life insurance policy.

TMZ has obtained the legal docs outlining the terms of Joe and Tina Simpson's divorce -- and Jessica's life insurance policy is just the tip of the iceberg.

Joe and Tina have also agreed to split their interest in Jessica and Ashlee's management fees ... a huge number in itself.

As for the couple's remaining division of property ... here's the breakdown:

Joe gets half of their Sherman Oaks house, all his personal effects and bank accounts, the 2012 Mercedes SLS and 2011 Mercedes S63, and a bunch of stocks ... including Twitter. He also gets $237,285 in an escrow account from the sale of their other L.A. home.

Tina gets the house in Waco, TX, over ten bank accounts, a 2010 Range Rover Sport, 2011 Porsche 997 coupe, and other stuff.

Who wants to be the children of Gene Simmons? The answer is absolutely everyone, because when Gene gets sick of his kids freeloading at home, he gets them out by buying them their own crib.

Gene's wife Shannon has been house hunting -- checking out this nice $2 million fixer-upper in Sherman Oaks (below) Sunday.

Apparently the digs aren't suitable for 24-year-old Nick and 20-year-old Sophie ... so the search continues.

BTW, as for why the 3,800-sq.-ft. house wasn't right ... the yard just wasn't big enough for their dogs.

Justin Bieber and his famous neighbors might be in luck ... some of them are really pissed off that a producer is trying to shoot a reality show in their gated community, but we've learned there may be a fatal flaw in the producer's plan.

TMZ has obtained a copy of the rules and regulations for The Oaks of Calabasas Homeowners Association -- and there's a whole section putting the brakes on filming inside the gates.

According to the rules, filming on a lot is only permitted if there's NO impact on the surrounding common area ... in other words, if the producer tries to shoot the comings and goings of Justin, Keyshawn Johnson, Travis Barker, Shanna Moakler, Kourtney Kardashian or the Jackson family ... he'd be squarely violating their right to privacy.

And the kicker ... no film shoots can exceed 5 days in length without prior approval from the Board ... pretty much the nail in the coffin for any reality show.

Shanna Moakler -- one of Bieb's neighbors, tells TMZ, "The reason we are all there is for privacy."

She adds, "I don't care about filming in your home, but a show on the community is in poor taste and invasive."

The HOA will probably agree.

"Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans has been thrown out of her home -- following her heroin arrest this week ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to the troubled MTV star tell us ... Jenelle and her husband Courtland Rogers had been living together at Courtland's mother's house ever since they got married. But after Jenelle and Courtland were arrested for assault and heroin possession in North Carolina this week, Courtland's mom decided she'd had enough and banned J.E. from the home.

Sources say ... Jenelle's stuff was packed up in boxes Tuesday -- and the 21-year-old was told to come collect her crap, or else.

We're told Jenelle arrived to the home late Tuesday night -- accompanied by her mother and a police officer -- but even the cop couldn't prevent the drama that ensued.

Sources say ... Jenelle fired some profanity at Courtland's mom -- and accused the family of stealing her laptop computer -- before eventually leaving the scene in a huff (with her boxes).

We're told Jenelle had a pit bull that she cared for at the home -- but decided to leave the dog with the Rogers family. The sad part -- sources say Courtland's mom can't afford to care for the dog on her own, so she's now searching for a family to adopt the little guy.

As for Courtland, we're told he's NOT banned from the house -- and the family is "open" to having him back at the home.

Calls to Jenelle have not been returned.

15-year-old "Modern Family" star Ariel Winter is moving on up ... into a big new house with her big sister ... and TMZ has learned, Ariel didn't pay a cent for it.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ, the San Fernando Valley house was paid for entirely by Ariel's sister Shanelle Gray and Shanelle's hubby David Barry Gray, a wealthy heir to the Pepsi fortune. The couple has plenty of dough -- they're both working actors and have a successful business on the side.

TMZ has learned ... the rich & famous residents of "The Oaks" in Calabasas, CA received a newsletter informing them about a "fresh, new docu-series with the working title of 'Calabasas 91302.'"

FYI -- The Oaks is home to a TON of stars ... including Bieber, Travis Barker, Romeo, Kourtney Kardashian, Shanna Moakler, Keyshawn Johnson, Mitch Richmond, the Jackson Family and many others.

In the letter to residents, the producer reveals the goal of the show -- to give viewers "an inside look at the true Calabasas life and all that it entails" ... which includes fancy cars, competitive families, and spending, spending, spending.

It's a safe bet ... the producer will view footage of The Biebs and other celebs as a big bonus, but we're hearing it's not sitting well with residents, and a big fight appears to be brewing.

The producer says he's still looking to cast 4 to 5 families -- and even reminded the neighborhood, "Calabasas was the stage several years ago for MTV's 'The Newlyweds' starring Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey."

... And we all know how that turned out.

Tough times have hit Kim Kardashian and Kanye West ... they may not have a roof over their heads to care for their newborn child. The stark reality is ... they may be homeless.

Here's why the couple is in dire straits ...

- Kim's $5 million Beverly Hills home has been sold, and she needs to be out by Aug. 1.

- Kanye's $3.3 million Hollywood Hills house is about to be sold -- and he's already moved out.

- Contractors have ripped apart the couple's new Bel Air estate ... the one they bought in February for $9 million ... and there's NO WAY it'll be ready in time.

So what is a young, struggling couple to do? They're considering the worst option for any couple ... the in-laws. In this case, they may stay with the Queen of F***ing Everything until renovations are completed at the new digs.

But there's one more option they're seriously considering ... renting a crib for $50k a month.

The recession has been hard on everyone.

Clay Aiken's alleged stalker really wanted to get a good look inside the singer's house ... because according to the 911 call, the woman was armed with binoculars when she hopped his fence.

TMZ broke the story ... 57-year-old Barbara Saylor was arrested outside Clay's North Carolina house April 3rd after allegedly hopping his fence and then peering inside his front window. Clay was home.

It wasn't apparent just how bizarre the incident was ... until now. Check out the 911 tape.

Snoop Dogg's 4/20 party in Hollywood was shut down before the star of the show even arrived ... TMZ has learned.

"Snoop Lion 420 Festival" -- a giant party being held in a Hollywood Hills mansion to celebrate all things cannabis -- started at 11:00 AM ... but quickly crashed and burned thanks to a bunch of fuddy-duddy neighbors.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... multiple neighbors in the surrounding area complained about the noise levels and parking situation caused by hoards of weed-loving partygoers. The fact that the party didn't have a permit didn't help matters either.

Cops arrived and quickly shut it down, putting a kibosh on the all-night festivities.

Our sources say no one was cited.

We're told Snoop arrived to the party just as it was being shut down. Our sources say Snoop spoke to police and was incredibly cooperative and understood why the party was being shut down.

Farrah Abraham needed to get far, far away from her judgy-wudgy mother ... so the "Teen Mom" put not one, but TWO STATES between them.

TMZ broke the story ... Farrah was living at her mom's place in Nebraska, but when mommy-dearest learned Farrah was behind (and in front of) the whole sex-tape scandal ... she kicked her out. Farrah says she chose to leave.

Regardless ... Farrah hightailed it 800 miles south to the Lone Star State. She's now leasing a two-bedroom apartment in Bee Cave (Google it) for $1,150 per month. We're told she's thrilled to be away from her mother.

As for the digs ... it comes with a terrace, foothill views, top-level infinity pool and a fitness center. Plus, we're told Farrah's dad lives just down the street.

It seems the swatters have a flair for irony -- and a vindictive streak ... their latest victim is the California state senator gunning to shut them down ... TMZ has learned.

Senator Ted Lieu was swatted earlier today ... police responded to a 911 call claiming he had shot his wife inside their Torrance, Calif., home ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Lieu tells TMZ ... he was out of town, his wife was home sick and the kids were at school. He vows he's more determined than ever to squash the swatters.

Although Ted's not an A-list celeb like fellow swatting victims Justin Bieber, Ashton Kutcher, Selena Gomez or Justin Timberlake -- he is spearheading legislation that would punish swatters by making them cover the cost of the incident -- around $10,000 a pop.

Grammy Award-winning R&B legend Lauryn Hill is being sued for eviction ... the good news, she's probably going to prison so she won't need that place anyway.

Lauryn's been renting a South Orange, New Jersey mansion since 2009. Things went south when she stopped paying rent last month, so her landlord ran to court and filed a legal ultimatum -- pay your rent NOW, or get out.

Lauryn hasn't paid, so the eviction lawsuit is now full steam ahead.

Lauryn will be sentenced next week for tax fraud. She pled guilty and now faces several years in federal prison.

Lauren Conrad might be old as the "Hills" ... but she's still rich as ever ... plunking down $3.74 million on her new L.A. mansion.

Sources close to the deal tell TMZ, the 27-year-old former MTV star purchased the 4,300 sq. ft. 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom Brentwood home this week.

It's two stories ... with a brand, spanking new kitchen, huge backyard and a basketball court. It was remodeled recently by celeb interior designer Jeff Lewis from Bravo's "Flipping Out."

For everyone who thought Taylor Swift was a little psycho for allegedly buying a house in Hyannis Port, MA to be next door to her BF ... well it may be she's just a smart real estate investor, because she's done it again in a WAY more exclusive neighborhood.

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Taylor has been looking at one of the most famous properties in Rhode Island -- the Harkness House -- an 11k-plus-square-foot mansion that sits on 5.23 acres of prime real estate.

To give you an idea of how rich she is ... the asking price is North of $20 mil.

Taylor brought her family and real estate agent to the property on Monday and nosed around for a while. We're told she spent a lot of time there and really dug it.

Farrah Abraham's sex tape has created a fiery rift between her and her mother -- whom she lives with -- and now, Farrah's packing up and moving out.

You'll recall, Farrah's mom pretended to be blissfully ignorant of her 21-year-old daughter's porno -- telling us Farrah would never star in such a video ... let alone commission it ... protesting, "We have religious beliefs."

Fact is Farrah did it ... and when it came out that she was the one who masterminded the sex tape (info courtesy of James Deen) mama flipped out.

Sources close to Farrah tell us, the two have been arguing tooth and nail ever since ... so today, Farrah packed up a U-Haul and hit the road.

Sources say Farrah's mother gave her the boot ... but Farrah tells us, "After meeting with my counselor today, I've packed up everything and I'm not talking to my mom anymore."

She adds, "My mother will never be a good mother to me and it is too hurtful to deal with let alone have my daughter Sophia around it."

The Sharon Osbourne 911 tape -- where she desperately calls a dispatcher asking for help after a candle at her home lit a table on fire -- may be a clue to the marital strife that led to their split.

We've re-listened to the tape -- recorded January 17 at 4:45 AM -- and you hear Ozzy at the beginning, sounding somewhat incoherent. It's possible Ozzy was no different than normal, but we now know he's only been sober for around 45 days after 1 1/2 years of abusing drugs and alcohol, so that would mean he was using at the time of the 911 call.

On the other hand ... Sharon told TMZ shortly after the incident that SHE was responsible.
