Billionaire David Geffen's refusing to reveal how wealthy he truly is in an attempt to minimize his spousal support payments to his estranged husband, David Andrew Armstrong (AKA Donovan Michaels) -- at least that's what Armstrong says is going on.

According to new legal documents obtained by TMZ, Armstrong is accusing Geffen of refusing to submit his financial documents to the court because he thinks he can skirt around California’s financial disclosure laws, all "in an effort to achieve aggressive spousal support limitations."

Armstrong says it's completely unfair, likening the situation to "a case of David and Goliath" because the financial gap between him and Geffen is so wide. He further claims he is being "unfairly outspent" and that his ex "is prepared to win by any means necessary."

Break out the popcorn, we've got a can't-miss train-wreck documentary coming through ... it's the latest installment in the ongoing saga of the Fyre Festival ... and we've got a sneak peek of the impending drama!

Billy McFarland tells TMZ ... he's been filming a new documentary as he attempts to launch PHNX, a December festival he's billing as his big comeback. Billy says he's rented an island and that cameras are following every move ... waiting to see if it's a redemption story ... or another disaster.

The project is expected to drop by late December or early January, and we're told the filmmakers are currently in discussions with multiple streaming platforms.

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli no longer have a "Full House" ... so, they've decided to get rid of the one they still share -- and they've found a buyer!

The 6-bedroom, 9-bathroom home in the Hidden Hills area near Los Angeles went under contract Wednesday ... the couple had listed the pad for $14,950,000.

The contemporary farmhouse boasts nearly 12,000 square feet of living space, which includes a fully-equipped gym, custom home theater, chef's kitchen and wine cellar. There's also a swimming pool, spa, bocce ball court and BBQ area on the grounds.

Ellen Greenberg's parents say Philadelphia officials are still trying to clean up the city's mess from a botched investigation ... which is why no one will admit Ellen was murdered.

Sandee and Josh Greenberg joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday to talk about a medical examiner recently reaffirming their daughter Ellen's death as a suicide ... and, they told us it's all spurred on by corruption.

According to the Greenbergs, they weren't surprised at the ruling ... because it's the answer they've gotten from city officials for years ... which they see as an attempt to simply get to them to stop digging.

1:00 PM PT -- Bhad Bhabie posted a response to her father on Instagram... captioning a post, "I paid 25k actually to terminate my FATHER [s] parental rights years ago. I tried to refix are [our] relationship but it didn’t work. The only reason I gave him another chance was because LV suggested I have my father in my life."

The post has screenshots of an alleged email from his attorney agreeing to accept a sum of $25k to resolve all the "outstanding issues" and to terminate his parental rights.

Bhad Bhabie's dad Ira Peskowitz says her new song "Honest" is anything but ... in a new interview with TMZ.

In the song, BB suggests her dad didn't want her in his life ... and only wanted to get in touch after she became famous, rapping, "I hope he wastes away. What kind of father sacrifices a relationship for 20K."

Ira clapped back, saying, "Every one of those statements is a complete lie. I didn't sell her for $20,000. I was trying to be part of her life way before 'Dr. Phil' and right before she went on 'Dr. Phil.' I have documentation to show that I tried to get her into a program to try to help her out."

Alfonso Ribeiro was back doing what he does best -- putting smiles on faces -- and this time, it wasn’t the Carlton dance, it was his vocal pipes stealing the show.

TMZ snagged the fun clip ... the 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' star hit up L.A.’s Lakeside Country Club on Saturday -- and had the whole place vibin', belting out Bruno Mars & Mark Ronson’s "Uptown Funk."

Everyone was groovin’ as Alfonso nailed the upbeat jam ... commanding the mic stand, grooving hard, and letting the band ride his rhythm all the way through.

Motown pioneer Smokey Robinson says there's a not-so "Quiet Storm" blowing through our lives with the emergence of A.I. ... and he suggests artists do what they can to protect themselves.

The soul and R&B legend told us at LAX Monday he thinks A.I. is "probably one of the most dangerous things that's ever happened."

According to Smokey, the only thing you can do to fight people using A.I. against you is try to own your image and likeness -- something he's already done.

Snoop Dogg was the life of the party at a shindig that burst with plenty of libations -- his 54th "C-Day" celebration ... boosted by his dozens of friends, fam and celebrity rap pals!!!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained footage from inside Snoop's legendary '80s-themed gathering last night inside his sprawling compound in Inglewood ... which opened its doors to a plethora of talent within the entertainment world.

Everyone from hip-hop staples such as Doug E. Fresh and Flavor Flav, to NBA legend Paul Pierce, DJs Whoo Kid and Battlecat, to comedians Mike Epps and Kwawe Siegel were in the building, and Tha Doggfather attempted to meet and greet with as many people as humanly possible.

David Geffen's estranged husband has withdrawn his salacious civil lawsuit against the media mogul, and is choosing another course, which takes much of his enormous money demand off the table.

David Armstrong (AKA Donovan Michaels) filed his civil lawsuit back in July, alleging the 82-year-old billionaire targeted the 32-year-old, whose trauma was weaponized for Geffen's "personal gratification and public image."

Armstrong claims he gave up his modeling career after allegedly being promised Geffen would take care of him financially for life. The former couple did not have a prenup -- Armstrong says he's entitled to community property. We're told Geffen, who has been retired for 15 years, has no community income.

Sam Rivers -- the bassist for the nu metal group Limp Bizkit -- died Saturday ... and now we have more of a clue as to what happened.

A spokesperson for the St. Johns County, Florida Fire Rescue tells TMZ ... they responded to a call Saturday for a "nonresponsive person in cardiac arrest."

The final cause of death is still unclear, but a rep for the St. Johns County Sheriff tells TMZ ... "Deputies responded to an attended death at that address." An "attended death" is one in which the deceased has been a patient under medical care for a serious or life-threatening illness that will likely lead to death in a relatively short period of time -- days or months, but not years.

Willie Robertson’s been knee-deep in filming "Duck Dynasty: The Revival" S2 -- and this time, he’s rolling without his late dad ... which he tells TMZ actually feels fitting, knowing the man himself.

We bumped into Willie Monday in NYC, and he told us straight up -- Phil probably wouldn’t have enjoyed being part of the show anyway ... the dude was never really into the cameras.

Catch the full clip ... Willie admits it was tough not having Phil there, but says the family takes comfort knowing he’s moved on to his "forever home."

"Dancing with the Stars" cohost Julianne Hough has seen all your lusting over Season 34 breakout star Robert Irwin ... and she told us some of it might be crossing a line.

She chatted with TMZ at LAX Monday, saying, "I saw there's this older millennial group of women trying to do the math to see if that's appropriate or not." Julianne laughed before ultimately deciding ... eh, it probably isn't.

Julianne also seemed proud of the 21-year-old Aussie for turning down an offer from Chippendales to join them in Las Vegas, saying, "I think that's the right choice."

Dramatizations of infamous serial killers use real pain to make a quick buck, and "Monster: The Ed Gein Story" is just the latest show to do it ... so says a prominent filmmaker with a connection to the series.

We spoke to Osgood Perkins -- son of the legendary actor and star of "Psycho," Anthony Perkins -- about the new series ... because his dad plays a prominent role in at least one episode.

If you haven't seen the show, or know about the story, then spoiler alert ... Ed Gein's a vicious real-life killer and necrophiliac whom Robert Bloch -- the writer of the novel "Psycho" -- loosely based his main character, Norman Bates, on. Perkins played the character in the Alfred Hitchcock film classic.

There's a new audio recording in the Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively saga ... and it reveals Justin's business partner trashing Blake's allegations of inappropriate behavior during a secretly recorded phone call.

Claire Ayoub -- who wrote and directed a film called "Empire Waist," produced by Wayfarer and Baldoni -- says she recorded her phone chat with Wayfarer's billionaire co-founder Steve Sarowitz.

In a September 2025 declaration, Claire said she'd endured "repeated, negative interactions" and "verbal abuse" from Baldoni when they worked on "Empire Waist" ... and that's why she recorded the call.

Playboi Carti's alleged assault on a limo driver was even more sinister than originally thought ... because he's now accused of threatening to shoot the chauffeur.

TMZ obtained the audio dispatch calls from the October 2 incident in Utah ... and, as you can hear, cops sprang into action after driver Carl Reynolds reported what allegedly happened to him while driving the rapper to his tour rehearsal. with his GF, Giovanna Ramos.

Investigators responded to an intersection in Park City, where Carl had pulled over after Carti allegedly socked him in the face during a heated argument with Ramos.

Lori Loughlin has separated from estranged husband Mossimo Giannulli, but if she thinks she's going to get a chunk of the fashion designer's fortune in the split, she might have to think again.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... a prenuptial agreement Lori signed when she married Mossimo in 1997 provides their assets are separate property. We're told it's something Mossimo insisted on before they married.

What's more ... Mossimo was worth north of $100 million at the time. It's unclear if the prenup changed, but if it didn't, it looks like she's screwed.
