Exs

4:58 PM PT -- Linda Hogan reached out to TMZ to clarify her earlier comments ... she now tells us her ex-husband Hulk Hogan wouldn't have been a supporter of California Gov. Gavin Newsom ... 'cause the fam never went along with liberal policies. As far as she's concerned ... no one likes Gavin! So, the meme was lame -- and only worked to confuse some fans.

Gov. Gavin Newsom is trying to beat Trump at his own game as far as ridiculous A.I. memes go ... but his latest post featuring Hulk Hogan was just too painfully stupid, the WWE legend's ex-wife tells TMZ.

Here's the deal ... on Sunday morning, Newsom threw X into chaos with an A.I.-generated image featuring Kid Rock, Tucker Carlson, and Hulk -- sprouting angel wings and a halo -- blessing him under the caption "so nice." Obviously, the meme was meant to rile up Trump and his supporters, since they've shared similar memes in the past in sincere support of the president.

Linda Hogan tells TMZ … For anyone confused about the troll game Newsom is playing with his Trump-esque posts, Hulk couldn’t stand Newsom, and was as far from liberal as you can get.

She does not list a date of separation and is going with the usual "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. She's seeking spousal support and checked the box to terminate the court's ability to award Mickey spousal support. They did not have any kids, so no child custody or support to hash out here.

Lukas Gage is reacting to his ex-husband Chris Appleton announcing an upcoming self-help memoir on the heels of Lukas' upcoming book ... and it sounds like he's throwing some shade.

Just listen to the clip -- he explained ... "At that time, as a young guy -- she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem like motherly, and then we start having issues."

Britney Spears' ex Kevin Federline is dropping a tell-all which he promises will be "extremely intimate and transparent" -- and fans are not happy.

The tell-all, titled "You Thought You Knew," promises to detail his entire life, from his working-class upbringing to his time as a professional dancer -- and will include the years during his marriage to the Princess of Pop and the accompanying media circus, according to a press release.

Aaron Phypers is blasting estranged wife Denise Richards for showing up at his house to grab a dog and causing all sorts of drama -- he says she never cared for the doggies in the first place ... and claims she left him and his elderly parents to care for all of the animals.

Aaron tells TMZ ... Denise moved out of the home 2 years ago because she got a condo nearby so she could film content for OnlyFans, and while she would swing by from time to time to pick up things, she never took care of the dogs.

At one point, Aaron says they had 55 dogs, 13 cats and 2 pigs at the house ... and for the past 4 years, the animals' primary caretakers have been Aaron's family ... with his mother and father handling all the pet grooming, feeding, and care.

6:08 PM PT -- Aaron tells TMZ ... "Absolutely false, not true on both accusations. Denise’s attorney has consistently struck out in pursuit of the truth. There is a difference between telling the truth and trying to protect your client."

He continuted, "Denise’s actions are willfully intentional in the slander and destruction of what is left of a family. This is after Denise chose to carry on an adulterous affair - after being caught not once, not twice, but three times."

Aaron wrapped it up, saying ... "Having the title of attorney or being a celebrity does not put you above the law. It does not give you the right to humiliate others for the sake of your interests. Both of these actions have been readily apparent here in the last couple of weeks."

3:15 PM PT -- Denise Richards' divorce attorney, Brett Berman, tells TMZ ... "Ms. Richards did not violate a restraining order. On August 3, 2025, after confirming that Mr. Phypers was not present in her home, Ms. Richards entered the home to retrieve her dogs after learning that Mr. Phypers had put down one of her other dogs without her knowledge or permission.”

The Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers divorce keeps getting uglier ... because the cops were called after Denise showed up at his house to pick up a dog.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies were called Sunday afternoon to the Calabasas home Aaron shares with his parents and brother, after Denise showed up to get their dog.

Problem is ... Denise has a restraining order in place against Aaron ... meaning they can't get within 100 yards of each other.
