Disney Channel Star Staring Down Nearly $800k ... Thanks 'Bizaardvark'!!!
Teen star Ethan Wacker's Disney Channel sitcom, "Bizaardvark," should be called 'Cash Cow' ... as far as he's concerned -- 'cause the kid's in line to earn way more than half a mil off the franchise.
We got a hold of the 15-year-old's contract, filed in court because he's a minor, and for the first 2 seasons alone -- 41 episodes -- he's hauled in more than $375k. If the Mouse House signs up for 2 more seasons, with his raises, Ethan could earn more than another $400,000.
The contract also accounts for a potential "Bizaardvark" movie -- Ethan gets $150k for that. He'll bank $75k per movie if Disney opts to use him in any other flicks ... plus some bonus change -- $500 a pop for public appearances.
Your parents were right. It pays to study ... your scripts.

Tyrese Judge Says No More Corporal Punishment
Tyrese may have regained 50/50 custody of his daughter, but turns out there were strings attached.
The judge issued a series of conditions, including:
-- Neither Tyrese nor Norma Gibson can use corporal punishment in disciplining 10-year-old Shayla.
-- Tyrese must take parenting classes focused on appropriate disciplining of his daughter.
-- Both Tyrese and Norma must enroll in "high conflict parenting classes."
-- Tyrese and Shayla must enroll in joint therapy with a psychologist. Shayla must also undergo individual counseling.
According to the order, Tyrese has Shayla for both XMAS and New Year's -- and all of his visits with her must be spent in Southern California ... until April 30.
As we reported, Norma claimed Tyrese brutally disciplined their daughter, but the judge didn't buy it.

David Otunga Jennifer Hudson Did Me Dirty Throw Out Her Restraining Order!
Jennifer Hudson played super dirty by sneaking into court to get an order of protection against baby daddy David Otunga to get a leg up in their custody dispute ... so claims Otunga's lawyer.
Attorney Tracy Rizzo just filed legal docs asking the judge to throw out the order of protection a judge granted Thursday, forcing Otunga out of the family home and requiring him to stay clear of Jennifer and their 8-year-old son, David Jr.
Rizzo says she and David were blindsided by the order of protection and Hudson's lawyer never gave them any notice of the hearing. She says Hudson's endgame was to "gain an unfair advantage" in their custody negotiations which reached an impasse Wednesday, trying to make David look like the villain.
In the new docs, David is clear ... "All of the allegations ... are false. I have never physically pushed J. Hudson or in any other way harmed or threatened J. Hudson or our son."
Rizzo wants a hearing next Tuesday to vacate the order of protection, and David wants to be with his son for Thanksgiving.
David claims he's been the primary caregiver of David Jr. since birth. Jennifer says she's been the primary caregiver.

Jennifer Hudson Cops Throw David Otunga out of Family Home After She Gets Order of Protection
Jennifer Hudson had the cops come to her Chicago-area home Thursday night and throw baby daddy David Otunga out ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the case tell TMZ, Hudson went to court Thursday without telling Otunga and got an order of protection, claiming he is a risk to both her and their 8-year-old son, David Jr.
The police came, allowed Otunga to pack a bag and ordered him out.
Sources tell TMZ the catalyst for the order of protection is turf and custody war. Our sources say the couple has been broken up for several months ... after David allegedly found out Hudson was dating someone else.
David stayed in the family home -- which is owned by Jennifer -- partly because he's been the primary caregiver since she's on the road a lot. We're told the couple has been negotiating a custody arrangement for the last few weeks, but the negotiations broke down after both David and Jennifer dug in ... each wanting primary physical custody of their son.
Our sources say Jennifer demanded that David leave the home, and when it became apparent he wasn't going to comply she went to court for the order of protection. She's also filed a petition for full physical custody.

Jennifer Hudson Splits With Fiance Who Says She's Afraid She'll Lose Custody
Jennifer Hudson and fiancé David Otunga have split after nearly 10 years -- and Jennifer was granted a restraining order -- but David's attorney says it's only because Hudson's afraid to lose their kid.
Otunga's attorney, Tracy Rizzo, tells us, "David Otunga has been trying to negotiate the terms of an amicable parenting agreement with Ms. Hudson for several weeks now. However, when it became apparent to Ms. Hudson that Mr. Otunga would be the parent granted residential care of the child, as a result of Mr. Otunga being the child's primary caregiver while Ms. Hudson pursues her career all over the world, Ms. Hudson decided to file a meritless Petition for Order of Protection in an effort to gain an unfair advantage in the custody dispute."
Rizzo continues, "As a result of Mr. Otunga's career in the WWE, Ms. Hudson felt that she could give an award winning performance in court to portray herself as the victim. Mr. Otunga has never abused or harassed Ms. Hudson or their son."
In a statement to People, Hudson's rep says Jennifer requested the protective order, "in the best interest of their son." The statement never accuses Otunga of getting physical with Hudson, but we're told Otunga wanted to make it clear, he never touched her.
Hudson and the former WWE star got engaged in 2008 after less than a year of dating -- soon after welcoming their son, David Daniel Otunga Jr. -- the two never officially tied the knot.

Blac Chyna Sued That Family Pic Ain't Yours to Post!!!
Blac Chyna just got slapped with a lawsuit over a photo of herself, Rob Kardashian and her son ... which she posted but does NOT own ... according to the suit.
A photo agency -- FameFlynet -- is going after Chyna for the December 2016 shot showing her and Rob taking King Cairo out in Calabasas. According to the suit, the photo was legitimately licensed and posted by several websites on December 2.
The agency's beef is with Chyna for reposting the image from one of those websites on her Instagram page ... while stripping FameFlynet's credit. BC has since deleted the shot that included Rob -- maybe on account of the nasty breakup -- but she still has a pic of her and King from that day.
The agency wants Chyna to fork over all profits she made from posting the shot.

Cristiano Ronaldo Flexin' with Jr. in Shirtless 'Shoot ... Twinning & Winning!!
Here's shirtless Cristiano Ronaldo and Cristiano Jr. proving they've got the best genes AND the best jeans -- reppin' dad's designer denim and looking fly as hell doing it.
The soccer mega-star teamed up with his 7-year-old kid for the launch of the CR7 junior collection -- expanding on the line of signature jeans he dropped earlier this year.
There are actual kid sizes, FYI ... the Cristianos were just having some fun letting Jr. twin out with Sr. for the photo shoot.
The real question -- are Ronaldo and son gonna be the next LaVar and Lonzo Ball?!
CR7 adult jeans are priced between $69-$179 ... so they're still a ways away from Big Baller status.
