Halle Berry is firing back at Olivier Martinez, calling BS on his claim she was violent toward their 13-year-old son ... saying she's a domestic violence victim and advocate, not a perpetrator.

Halle filed a voluminous response to Martinez's petition to change their custody agreement from joint legal and physical custody to temporary sole custody, with Halle getting only visitation. He ended up getting a modified version of what he wanted.

Olivier claims Halle got angry at Maceo a week ago while he was playing a VR game and put him in a headlock, choking him. She denies the claim.

The Biggest Boss is free again ... and Rick Ross is already looking forward to fancy trips to Dubai and Paris ... and his last order of business is pasta with "heavy marinara."

Here's how Ross is celebrating his jail release ... Dubai on Friday, Paris on Saturday and a Sunday meal complete with a bowl of rigatoni smothered in marinara sauce.

Rick Ross got a rude awakening in court Thursday morning ... because after his lawyer played the celebrity card in a bid to get him sprung from jail, the judge wasn't impressed.

Ross -- real name William Roberts II -- appeared before Judge Mindy Glazer following his Wednesday arrest on battery charges in Miami, and his attorney Bradley Horenstein asked whether the rapper's release could be "expedited" because of his fame and concerns for his safety in jail.

The Marine's mother, Victoria Ingalls, told The Free Press that she and the rest of her family have been subject to non-stop harassment and death threats ever since she was mistakenly served with the lawsuit and their home address was added to the official court docket.

Online vigilantes began searching for "Matthew Ingalls" as soon as the lawsuit was filed ... and they found the address and posted it online, along with a phone number ... completely unaware that the wrong Matthew Ingalls was identified.

Tennessee can move forward with convicted murderer Christa Pike's execution, the Supreme Court has ruled.

On Wednesday, the court decided to lift the stay of execution that had been ordered just an hour before her lethal injection. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.

Pike's lawyers were trying to get her sentence changed to life in prison, arguing that her attorneys had failed to present her history of sexual abuse and mental health conditions. That's why her execution was paused just an hour before her scheduled lethal injection.

Bill Cosby allegedly failed to show up for a deposition in a civil lawsuit he's facing ... and his legal adversaries are telling the judge it's the third one he's missed ... and they want him to face some serious consequences.

According to legal documents filed by the lawyers for several women who are suing the disgraced actor and comedian, Bill was scheduled to be deposed from September 22 to September 24 ... but they say Cosby unilaterally canceled on September 21 ... despite receiving proper notice of the dates he was to be deposed.

They claim this is the third time they've had dates set for a deposition that Cosby's team has called off at the last minute ... citing an instance in April and another in June. 

And now the plaintiffs are asking the court to hit him with serious sanctions or, at the very least, an order blocking him from testifying so he "cannot benefit from his delay tactics."

Christa Pike is a cold-blooded murderer who should be put to death ... at least according to prosecutors fighting her request to pump the brakes on her scheduled execution.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, the feds are asking the court to deny Christa's recent request to send her case to another court for further proceedings about whether she received ineffective assistance of counsel at her sentencing … but prosecutors insist this is just another effort to relitigate a previously rejected claim.

In their filing, the prosecutors make their position clear, writing, "On January 12, 1995, Christa Gail Pike beat, tortured, and killed Colleen Slemmer because Pike 'just felt mean that day.'"

They go on ... "Pike cut Colleen's throat six times, struck her in the back with a meat cleaver, and crushed her skull with a piece of asphalt."

Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike was supposed to be executed this morning ... but her execution was paused just an hour before her scheduled lethal injection.

According to a court notice obtained by PEOPLE, Pike was granted a stay "until further order" by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

The court reportedly said it needed time to consider Pike's latest filing, where her attorneys claim the state had reversed its position that she'd fabricated her claims of sexual abuse.

Sunny Hostin is out on an island over the Cornell gang-rape case ... defending the seven accused frat bros and questioning how the story is being reported.

Sunny -- who prosecuted sex crimes for 10 years -- said the woman described voluntarily drinking, using ketamine and consenting to sexual activity, including two threesomes. She also noted three of the accused men allegedly never touched her, and another told people to leave the room.

The Challenge's CT Tamburello is finally making progress on his divorce from OnlyFans model Catalina White as his relationship with 'RHOA' star Phaedra Parks grows stronger ... TMZ has learned.

As TMZ first reported, Catalina filed for divorce in January but dismissed the case months later, claiming she felt pressure from CT. The reality star then filed his own divorce.
