Courtney Ford is cutting the cord on her marriage ... filing for divorce from her actor husband famous for playing Clark Kent.

The "Dexter" star beelined it to court Wednesday and filed to divorce "Superman Returns" star Brandon Routh after over 17 years of marriage.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Courtney is going with the boilerplate "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split ... and she does not give a date of separation.

"All My Children" star Cameron Mathison has shared harrowing visuals of where his Altadena home once stood -- and now he’s revealing the full story of losing it in the raging Eaton Fire.

Cameron stopped by "TMZ Live" Wednesday amid all the devastation -- and his shock was clear, as he recalled seeing what started as a small glow in Eaton Canyon above L.A. Tuesday evening, only to return the next day to find his home reduced to nothing.

Cameron told us everything -- how he grabbed a few things to evacuate last night, and hit up his estranged wife’s place, before rushing back to save some sentimental stuff.

As devastating wildfires continue to tear through neighborhoods across L.A., displaced residents are scrambling to find shelter -- but many are coming up empty-handed as the city's most well-known hotels are at full capacity ... TMZ has learned.

We've spoken to folks at several hotels across the city who tell us they've been fully booked since Tuesday afternoon, shortly after flames began ravaging the celeb-filled Pacific Palisades neighborhood.

Among them, The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills has reached capacity. While a few cancelations had freed up rooms early on, those vacancies were immediately filled by evacuees seeking shelter. The hotel is offering a 10% discount to guests affected by the wildfires.

Jay-Z wants a piece of attorney Tony Buzbee's hide, legally speaking -- he's demanding a court sanction Buzbee for what Jay calls the false rape lawsuit that's damaged his reputation.

According to Jay's new motion, filed by his lawyer Alex Spiro, Buzbee did not conduct even the most rudimentary investigation into the shocking claims made by his "Jane Doe" client in her lawsuit. The woman alleged Jay-Z and Diddy drugged and raped her after the MTV VMA Awards in 2000 when she was 13 years old.

In his filing, Jay also points out Buzbee did not withdraw the lawsuit after an NBC News interview with the accuser aired, and cast doubt on most of the details in her allegations.

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have lost their home in the massive wildfire that's currently burning on Los Angeles' westside ... TMZ has learned.

We're told the entire family was able to safely evacuate earlier in the day to another location but are devastated by their loss.

The New York Giants won't have a new head coach or general manager this offseason -- and at least one person in Big Blue Nation is just fine with that ... former NY star running back Brandon Jacobs!!

The ex-tailback -- who won two Super Bowls with the G-men in the early 2000s -- told TMZ Sports on Tuesday he's pleased with his old team's decision to keep Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen for 2025 ... explaining, "You can't keep getting new coaches every three years."

"I believe that's the right move," Jacobs said.

Forget the engagement ring -- Zendaya's "T" tattoo also had Golden Globes viewers buzzing ... and TMZ can confirm it’s part of her matching ink with her new fiancé, Tom Holland.

Sources tell TMZ the couple hit up Boston Tattoo Company in Massachusetts the day before Thanksgiving with a clear plan: something small and discreet, staying hidden -- with Tom getting his matching "Z" on his ribcage, mirroring Zendaya's.

It was a family affair -- we're told Zendaya's mom tagged along and got a small tattoo too. As for the lovebirds' pain management? They handled it like pros!

Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber have kicked off the New Year with a new relationship status -- they're both single ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the couple ended their romantic relationship around the end of 2024 -- which explains Austin's MIA status from Kaia's family trip to Mexico for the New Year. (More on that later!!!)

However, we're told there's no bad blood between the former couple ... the relationship just simply ran its course after a good 3 years together.

Scott Wolf is back in the white coat, playing a doctor on a new hospital drama ... but he's not upset about being constantly cast as a physician ... far from it!!!

We got Scott in New York City on Tuesday ahead of the premiere of his new show "Doc" ... where Scott plays what's become a familiar role for him.

Scott says he must give off doctor vibes because this is the fourth show where he's played an MD ... and he thinks "Doc" is the best one yet, comparing it to a former FOX hit, "House."

LiAngelo Ball has a slam dunk with his new song, "Tweaker" ... and he's getting a big seal of approval from DJ Paul.

We got the Three 6 Mafia rapper at LAX and our photog asked him about Gelo's debut single.

DJ Paul says the beat reminds him of '90s rap ... telling us its further evidence the '90s are making a huge comeback, in music and in fashion.

Tasha K is firing back at Cardi B’s claims she's hiding money in her bankruptcy case ... she says the rapper is just trying to financially ruin her and sabotage her career.

In new docs, obtained by TMZ, the blogger alleges Cardi tried to bully her financially and interfere with her bankruptcy case she filed back in 2023 after Cardi scored a huge judgment against her.

She says she thinks it's pretty clear the rapper wants to sabotage her career by trying to condition any settlement of the debt with a broad restriction on her ability to talk freely on her blogs and other social media.

Zendaya and Tom Holland are taking the next step in their relationship ... because they're engaged!!!

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... the "Spider Man" star popped the question between Christmas and New Year's ... dropping to one knee in a very intimate setting in one of Zendaya's family homes in the United States.

We're told Tom didn't make a huge show of the engagement -- it wasn't a big, over-the-top proposal -- instead, it was very romantic and intimate.

Trista Sutter says she's not cut out for life in the military ... because her first taste of Special Forces military training was brutal and intense.

The original 'Bachelorette' star joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday and we asked her about her experience on the upcoming season of FOX's "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" ... and if there was ever a point when she considered throwing in the towel.

The reality show takes a group of celebrities and has them undergo grueling challenges from the playbook of the U.S. military's selection process ... and Trista says she was totally humbled.

Famed Hells Angels biker Chuck Zito says he will NOT be prosecuted for allegedly driving around New York with a bogus license plate ... telling us cops got it all wrong.

We got the "Sons of Anarchy" star at Mulberry Street Pizzeria in Beverly Hills and he told our photog the charges against him were dropped.

As we reported ... the actor and stuntman was arrested in November after a traffic stop in The Bronx. Cops said the Florida dealer plate on his vintage 1968 Chevelle SS was fake, and Chuck was arrested for misdemeanor possession of a forged license plate.

Late New York socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, often referred to in the media as "Catwoman" due to her surgically enhanced cat-like features, is going to be cremated ... and her remains are going overseas.

Jocelyn's fiancé, Lloyd Klein, tells TMZ ... she will be remembered in a small and private funeral in Paris and after she's cremated her ashes will be taken to her ranch in Kenya.

We're told Jocelyn's final resting place will be near family ... her father is buried at the same African ranch, and her mother's ashes are there as well.

Jocelyn's fiancé says she loved Kenya ... so it's fitting that's where her ashes are going to wind up.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have settled their divorce, TMZ has learned, and in a month and a half they will officially call their marriage quits.

In a nutshell, each walks away with what they individually acquired during the marriage. The money Ben earned from his various movie projects is his, and the same goes for what J Lo earned during their 2-year marriage -- and neither will pay spousal support to the other.

Notably, Ben will keep his stake in his hugely successful production company, Artists Equity -- which he created in 2022 -- in which he partnered with Matt Damon.

Ben formed the company in November 2022, about 4 months after he married J Lo, and AE's since churned out hit movies like "Air," "Unstoppable," "The Instigators," "Small Things Like These" and "The Accountant 2."
