Kim says Dennis Shaun Bowman started by tweeting her last September, telling her how much he loved her.

According to the docs, filed by attorney Jeremiah Reynolds, Bowman then moved from Georgia to Calabasas, California -- where Kim lives -- to get closer to her.

In the ensuing months, Kim claims Bowman started showing up at Kim's appearances in the L.A. area acting bizarrely, sometimes wearing joker face paint.

At one point Bowman tweeted Kim, asking her not to be angry at him for missing a phantom dinner date they were supposed to have in Atlanta.

Bowman believes he's in a love relationship with Kim, according to the docs.

Things got really scary when Bowman started tweeting Kim's boyfriend, Reggie Bush, challenging him to a fight.

And, according to the docs, LAPD's Threat Management unit advised Kim the threat was serious enough that she should get a restraining order.

Under the order, Bowman must stay 500 yards away from Kim Kardashian and have no contact with Kim.

Michael Jackson's estate does not want to pay Joe Jackson an allowance, because Michael Jackson did not want his dad to be a beneficiary under the will and Joe wants to use the money for lavish expenses -- not maintenance.

According to legal docs just filed, estate lawyers say Joe was never legally dependent on Michael Jackson during his life.

And, according to estate lawyers, the so-called "maintenance expenses" Joe wants include vacations, air travel, hotels, assistants and legal fees.

And Joe Jackson says the allowance will include money so he can "support his children or grandchildren."

Attorney Rex Butler tells TMZ, Levi has told Bristol on several occasions he wanted her to come to his house to pick up checks for Tripp's support. Butler says Levi also told her "it would be nice" if she brought Tripp along when she picked up the checks, because Levi wanted to spend time with his son. Butler says on each occasion Bristol was a no-show.

Butler says Bristol is partly to blame for the fact that she hasn't gotten the support she wants. Butler tells TMZ on one occasion Levi was prepared to hand over $3,000 ... but Bristol never showed.

As for why Levi didn't just put the check in the mail ... Butler says, "Why should he have to do that. He's not dangerous to her."

As we first reported,

late Thursday asking for $1,750 a month in child support from Levi, claiming he's only paid $4,400 since Tripp was born. Levi's manager says the Playgirl model has forked over more than $10K.

Butler would not tell us how much Levi made in 2009, but says it's significantly less than $250,000.

And, Butler says, Bristol's been driving around in a $60,000 Cadillac Escalade that he believes Sarah Palin bought ... and he thinks Sarah is controlling Bristol and is behind the latest legal move.

UPDATE: Bristol's lawyer tells TMZ, "Bristol has set forth the facts regarding child support in her affidavit filed in court. The law in Alaska is clear: a parent is obligated to support his or her child. It is unfortunate Bristol has to seek court intervention in this regard."

Court documents were filed by Bristol's lawyer late Thursday afternoon in Alaska, demanding $1,750 a month in child support from Levi, retroactive to the birth of son Tripp on December 27, 2008.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Bristol believes Levi has pulled in "in excess of $105,000 in 2009 through various media interviews and modeling related activities." The $105,000 figure is significant, because under Alaska law a non-custodial parent must pay 20% of income up to $105,000 a year -- which comes to $1,750 a month.

Bristol says in her sworn statement, "I have received limited and sporadic financial assistance from Levi." Bristol says Levi has forked over only $4,400 over the 13 months of Tripp's life -- $3,000 on September 9, 2009, $1,400 on December 19.

Bristol's request is for temporary support, pending a permanent child support order.

UPDATE: Levi Johnston's manager, Tank Jones, tells TMZ Levi has paid Bristol more than $10,000 since Tripp was born. Jones also says Levi does not make money off of every interview he does, though he did not say exactly how much Levi has made.

As we first reported, the FBI is investigating an allegation of a murder for hire plot -- i.e., hitman -- against Cryer, costar of "Two and a Half Men." Someone has told the FBI the plot may involve Jon's bitter custody fight with Sarah.

The threat was taken so seriously last Friday, "Two and a Half Men" was taped without an audience and security poured into the sound stage.

Trigger told TMZ last week she was unaware of any murder for hire plot.

A law enforcement source says the threat has abated, but the investigation is ongoing.

18 months after he was evicted from the "BB" house, Steven Daigle was so comfortable in front of the cameras, he decided to sign on to a man-on-man-on-man sex tape with a company called C1R.com.

We're told Daigle was approached with the idea by porn director Chi Chi LaRue -- who originally met Daigle at a "Big Brother" wrap party.

Daigle tells us, "I didn't expect my life to take this path, but when I was presented with the opportunity, I dove in head first... literally."

The New York Jets and the Indianapolis Colts are both on the hot seat for selling AFC Championship clothing BEFORE this weekend's AFC Championship game -- but there's good news ... the losing team's gear will go directly to the people of Haiti.

The shirts became available earlier this week on each team's website -- both teams took serious heat for jinxing themselves by producing the gear.

But there is a silver lining -- TMZ spoke to a rep from the NFL Consumer Products Department who told us, "The shirts will be donated to World Vision and sent to Haiti."

Hope the Haitians like the Colts ...

As TMZ previously reported, a tax lien was filed against the Gosselins after Lancaster County claimed they owed $2,691.75 in city water charges.

But according to new court documents filed last week, the Gosselins are finally in the clear -- because someone finally forked over the cash.

One problem down -- about 30 billion to go.

Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband, who we lovingly refer to as Prince Von A-Hole, says he's running as an Independent when Ahnuld's seat is up in 2011.

The only upside we see to this: The Prince vows to spend all his time in Sacramento ... which means he'll be far far away from L.A.

We're told L.A County Animal Care and Control launched the investigation after the dog escaped, went to a nearby ranch and attacked Gerty the pet pig. The pig suffered minor injuries ... the rancher shot the dog dead.

As for what kind of dog -- it depends who you ask. Linda says it was a lab/hound mix. The rancher says it was a pit bull.

Linda offered to pay the rancher for the pig's medical bills -- and said the dog's death is "devastating."

Michael Jackson's brother, Randy Jackson, is in the middle of a creditor's claim filed against the estate and according to legal docs ... Randy is on the side of the creditor.

Stabler & Associates, a company that claims it was hired to handle Michael Jackson's business matters -- in particular, a humongous Bank of America loan and the funding of his 2004 child molestation trial -- claims the estate owes the company $275,446.08.

Here's the problem. The statute of limitations has run on the debt. But Perry Wander, lawyer for Stabler & Associates, tells TMZ the company relied on Michael and Randy's repeated promises that the debt would be paid, so the estate should not be able to raise the technical, statute of limitations defense.

Howard Weitzman, lawyer for Michael Jackson's estate, is unmoved, telling TMZ, "The claim needs to be investigated and it appears to be barred by the statute of limitations."

And this is interesting ... included in the $275,446.08 -- a late penalty of $81,946.08.

TMZ has learned Rampage was driving a new black Audi R8 -- valued at more than $100k -- home from the Audi dealership in Orange County, California on Tuesday when he was hit by a woman driving a very not expensive black car.

We're told Rampage was not injured in the wreck, but the back end of his badass ride suffered some pretty extensive -- and expensive -- damage.

Rampage tells TMZ police arrived on scene and cleared him of all wrongdoing. The UFC fighter added, "I am thankful and happy no one was hurt. I tried to make sure the elderly woman that hit my car was OK ... she didn't speak much English, but I could see she wasn't hurt in any way."

As for his own condition, Rampage said, "I am fine, the little old lady is fine, but my car got hurt, and for that I'm sad."

The maid, Maribel Banegas, issued a formal letter of apology to Victoria - in other words, she waived the white flag. The letter is contained in settlement documents obtained by TMZ.

Banegas claimed Victoria flew into a rage at her Malibu home, fired the maid and then pointed a gun at her and threatened to kill her.

Victoria countersued, claiming the maid was a lunatic, slamming doors, hurting her dog and demanding money. Victoria says she pulled the gun and cocked it out of fear.

In the letter of apology, attached to the settlement, Banegas says, "I can now understand why you felt that I was threatening to you, which, in turn, led you to defend yourself."

The maid goes on, apologizing for "any unintentional injury to your little dog, Mei-ling."

The terms of the settlement are confidential.

Jon Cryer -- who stars with Charlie Sheen in "Two and a Half Men" -- told authorities his life was in danger -- possibly by a hitman -- and TMZ has learned the FBI is investigating.

Cryer sounded the alarm last Friday. Sources tell us Cryer told law enforcement he believed his ex-wife hired a hitman to kill him.

Cryer and his ex have been embroiled in a bitter custody fight, which has gotten even more intense recently.

Sources tell us the FBI has been on the case for a week. As far as we know the agency has no suspects. The FBI declined comment.

As we first reported, security descended on the set of "Two and a Half Men" last Friday and the show was taped without an audience. We're told this Friday's show will also be taped without an audience ... but it's for creative, not security reasons.

Our sources say Cryer has told people the threat has abated and he feels more secure.

Cryer's ex-wife told us last Friday she was unaware of any threat against Jon.

Several passengers on Sully's miracle flight have been calling Chartis Aerospace Insurance Services -- the company selling salvaged Airbus A320 -- trying to buy a commemorative piece of the plane.

Dan Akers -- the person running the auction -- says Chartis will sell the plane in one big chunk, not pieces.

Bristol was ordered to watch a 48-minute video, titled "Listen to the Children." Alaska judges require both parents in a custody dispute to view the video, which explains the impact divorce/separation has on children.

Bristol hit the play button Saturday and got a certificate of completion.

This may come as a shock -- Levi hasn't watched the video.
