Kate was headed into the Discovery Channel upfronts (industry speak for 'look what we have') last night for her upcoming shows "Twist of Kate" and "Kate Plus 8" -- where she said "typically you don't work with your ex-husbands." Typically.

War Machine -- the controversial MMA fighter turned porn star -- is in big trouble in Georgia, after he backed out of an upcoming brawl ... through his Twitter page.

Machine (yes, that's his legal name) was scheduled to get in the ring at Wild Bill's Fight Night in Duluth, GA tomorrow night ... but claims he came down with a staph infection that will prevent him from kicking ass.

The fight promoter tells TMZ that instead of dealing with his situation "professionally" -- returning calls, emails, etc -- Machine simply posted a message on his Twitter page stating that he was out of the fight.

Now, the Georgia State Athletic and Entertainment Commission is coming down on Machine -- suspending the fighter indefinitely for breach of contract.

War Machine gave us a full statement about the ordeal. Check it out after the jump.

It went down in a parking lot after an "A.I." show. In front of several people, Crystal told Ryan she couldn't handle the competition.... she said she hated the attention and said to Seacrest, "What's the point?"

Crystal said she was going back to Ohio to be with her family, whom she missed terribly.

Ryan told Crystal that being on "Idol" was like starting a business, and if she won she'd get a recording contract and become a millionaire.

Seacrest sealed the deal by telling her, "The greatest thing I ever did was make enough money so I could buy my mom a house. You can buy your mom a house."

The Background: Several years ago Shawn accused Larry of having an affair with her sister, Shannon Engemann. Sources connected with Larry claim Shawn threatened to leak the story to the media, unless Larry signed a document, giving up his interest in their Beverly Hills estate, along with two other homes in Utah.

The Undue Influence: Sources say Larry took the document to his attorney, mega-divorce lawyer Dennis Wasser, who ordered him not to sign it. Larry, we're told, actually went to Shawn's lawyer, who referred him to a former partner -- and that attorney eventually gave Larry the green light to sign the agreement. We're told Wasser, who had no idea this went down, was furious.

Sources tell us earlier this week, Shawn discovered evidence that Larry has continued to give Shannon expensive gifts -- very expensive gifts.

We're told Shawn was assured by Larry that the gifts had stopped -- but she found evidence to the contrary.

Our sources say Shawn is a "wreck."

As for her meeting today with attorney Robert Kaufman, we're told she has not hired him -- she is sticking with the lawyer who filed divorce papers on her behalf, Joe Mannis ... at least for now.

TMZ has obtained the mug shot for Tiger Woods' alleged mistress #2 Jaimee Grubbs -- taken after she was busted for outstanding warrants in West Hollywood last night.

Grubbs could have cracked a smile for this mug shot -- after all she just replaced her infamous missing tooth.

As TMZ first reported, Grubbs was arrested yesterday in West Hollywood on three outstanding warrants related to driving on a suspended license.

She posted $30,309 bail at 1AM this morning.

Grubbs -- aka Tiger's alleged mistress #2 -- claimed she had a 31-month affair with the golfer.

We're told the Milledgeville Police officer -- Sergeant Jerry Blash -- turned in his resignation yesterday. He had been with the force for 8 years.

In the report, investigators claim that on the night of the alleged incident, Blash admitted that after he encountered the accuser, he may have made a comment similar to "this f*cking bitch is drunk" or "this bitch is drunk off her ass accusing Ben of assaulting her."

Investigators also report that on the night of the incident, Blash informed the accuser and her friends that "Roethlisberger has a lot of money" and if the women were to follow through with a police report, they "would be wasting their time."

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Blash was given a lose-lose option -- resign...or be fired.

Attorney Robert Kaufman -- who has handled divorces for Jennifer Aniston, Rupert Murdoch and Mel Gibson -- just showed up at Shawn Southwick's home in Bev Hills.

Sources tell us Shawn's lawyer is still Joe Mannis, a tough celeb divorce lawyer. But, we're told, several friends of Shawn told her she should at least meet Kaufman.

Sources tell us Larry -- who was married 7 times before tying the knot with Shawn -- did not demand a prenup. As one source close to the situation tells TMZ, "She is a tall, good-looking blonde and that pretty much explains it."

Larry's net worth is reportedly estimated at $144 million. He's in the middle of a CNN contract reportedly worth $56 million over 4 years.

In California, earnings accumulated during a marriage are split 50/50. Shawn and Larry have been married for nearly 13 years.

Ouch.

One source intimately familiar with the situation tells us Larry bought wildly expensive gifts for Shannon Engemann, including a $160,000 car and "tons of gifts from Cartier." We're told Larry used his credit card to purchase many of the gifts. The credit card bills were paid by Larry's business manager.

We're told Shawn started looking at the statements, saw a Cartier diamond necklace, and then told a friend, "He never gave me a diamond necklace."

So began 5 years of never-ending drama. Friends tell TMZ there were numerous instances where the couple was fighting, sometimes physically. One friend recalls an incident outside of Nate 'n Al in Beverly Hills a year and a half ago where the couple was "punching each other."

As we first reported, several years ago Larry attempted to save their marriage by transferring 3 homes -- including the one in Beverly Hills -- into Shawn's name alone, to show his commitment to the marriage.

Friends tell TMZ Shawn went into a "deep depression" for a long time and literally wouldn't leave the house.

Ironically, in the last two weeks, friends felt things were "calming down" between Larry and Shawn.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Grubbs was busted for two offenses -- there's a warrant out for her arrest for driving on a suspended license. And when Grubbs was stopped her license was still suspended.

Grubbs is being booked right now. Bail for the outstanding warrant is $26,000.

We don't know if they'll make her smile for the booking photo.

UPDATE: The L.A. County Sheriff's Department now tells us Jaimee was arrested on three outstanding warrants for driving on a suspended license, and her bail amount is $30,309. Talk about overachieving.

In her divorce documents, Shawn is specifically asking the judge to declare the following her separate property -- their Beverly Hills mansion, a house in Provo, Utah, and a house in St. George, Utah.

TMZ broke the story ... Larry transferred these home to Shawn several years ago, after Shawn confronted him about having a relationship with her sister, Shannon -- a claim Shannon denies. We're told Larry made the transfer to show Shawn he was committed to the marriage.

In Larry's legal docs, he's asking the judge to void the transfers ... though he does not state the legal grounds.

TMZ has learned Larry King's wife, Shawn Southwick has just filed her own legal papers for divorce.

Shawn's lawyer, Joe Mannis, filed the docs minutes after Larry filed.

Shawn is asking for primary physical custody of the couple's two kids, as well as spousal and child support.

She is alleging "irreconcilable differences."

Shawn is also claiming much of the real estate as her separate property, including the Beverly Hills house she shared with King.

UPDATE: In Larry's divorce filings, he asks that any property transfers during the marriage be null and void. It appears Larry transferred certain properties -- i.e., houses -- to Shawn ... probably for tax purposes.

Shaq's lawyer has fired off a letter to the network -- obtained by TMZ -- in which he demands VH1 immediately halt production on "any further episodes of 'Basketball Wives' which make any reference to Mr. O'Neal."

Shaq's lawyer claims Shaunie signed a confidentiality agreement at some point in their relationship -- so if she says anything about Shaq on TV, she and the production company will find their asses in court.

Alves was leaving OTM Fight Shop in Redondo Beach yesterday, where he told us he's not only doing well, he's already training again -- just weeks after a surgical procedure to prevent bleeding in his brain.
