We just spotted Michael at the LAX Delta terminal, where he angrily told us he's going back to NYC to get Child Protective Services involved in his fight to get help for Lindsay -- presumably he's thinking CPS in New York has jurisdiction over all matters Ali Lohan.

Michael had issued an ultimatum to Lindsay -- meet with him or he'll take steps to form a conservatorship -- à la Britney. Michael says Lindsay skipped the meeting.

As we reported this weekend, Michael was giving Lindsay an ultimatum -- either meet with him today or he's going to court. Our Lindsay sources say she wasn't keen on a tête-à-tête -- actually, she said no way would she sit down with daddy.

But here's what's ironic. Michael says Lindsay did text him that she wanted him to help smooth things over with the bouncers from Trousdale, the club she was reportedly banned from after allegedly throwing a glass at Sam Ronson.

Turns out, Eliza's big brother -- actor Nathaniel Dushku -- was busted in the desert city of Barstow, CA back in January, after cops say dude was speeding down the highway at more than 100 MPH.

Nate was due back in court yesterday -- and Rick and Eliza made the drive to lend support.

With the DNA test a match, we're told lawyers for Knowles and Wright are in the final stages of negotiating a settlement for baby Nixon's child support.

Wright filed a paternity suit last October against Knowles -- who was temporarily ordered to pay $8,200 in monthly child support.

Wright claims she had an 18-month affair with Knowles.

As far as we know, nothing's tricky about Nixon .... so far.

The couple married back in 2003 and have one child together.

A statement from their lawyers says: "The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement. Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children."

The singer, Chaz and his GF Jennifer Elia all met up at an L.A. art studio for an event for Cher's other son Elijah Blue.

Evander Holyfield's wife is throwing in the towel in the war against the former boxing champ -- asking a judge to drop the protective order she obtained against him earlier this month.

According to court officials in Fayette County, GA, Candi Holyfield pulled the plug on the order yesterday.

Candi had accused Evander of hitting her in the face, the back, and the back of her head after she complained that their children were cold because the heat had been cut off in their Georgia home.

In Candi's petition for the protective order, she also claimed Evander had been physical with her in the past -- saying he "choked me in front of our daughter and housekeeper" in 2008.

Michael went before a judge today in Nassau County, NY -- after Dina Lohan claimed he had fallen 7 months behind in child support.

The hearing was closed and no one said how much Michael was in arrears.

Back in November TMZ broke the story that Michael was $15,100 behind in child support payments.

Former boxing heavyweight Evander Holyfield is attempting to change up his child support payments -- claiming he's just not pulling in the cash he was 10 years ago.

According to documents filed last month in Cobb County Superior Court in Georgia, Holyfield wants his agreement with ex-wife Janice Itson from 2000 modified because his "income has decreased."

The docs also say he now has other children "for whom he is also responsible to support."

Mark's father, Nick, runs a fire department in Irvine, California that happens to be one of 28 urban search and rescue teams in the U.S -- and last week the guys were told to prepare in case their services were needed in Haiti.

TMZ has learned an 80 member group composed of rescue personnel from Orange County was mobilized and sent to March Air Force Base over the weekend -- but Nick was not selected to travel with that group.

Eventually, the 80-member task force was demobilized before they were shipped out to Haiti.

The estate for Angie's mom -- the late actress Marcheline Bertrand -- has finally been divvied up after her death in 2007, and it spells $$$ for three bouncing Jolie-Pitts.

According to documents filed in L.A. Superior Court last week -- Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh were each left $100,000 in a shiny new trust fund, but here's the catch: they can't touch it 'til they turn 25.

Looking and quacking like a Wayans outside of club Wonderland in Hollywood last night, Damon Jr. jokingly said the movie helped him put his crack pipe down for good.

The two haven't seen each other for 2 1/2 years. But Tori showed up at Candy's doorstep with Dean, Liam, Stella and Jack, Dean's stepson.

Candy hadn't met Stella until a few weeks ago and she hadn't seen Liam since he was an infant.

It was an intimate affair -- 185 people. Tori and Dean stayed for 3 hours so it wasn't just a drive-by.

Alexa Ray Joel, daughter of Billy Joel, is home from the hospital and "feeling much better," a rep tells TMZ.

Alexa was rushed to the hospital this weekend after authorities received a 911 call from her Manhattan apartment.

But her rep tells us, "She is with her family and looking forward to getting back on track."

Alexa herself added, "I want to thank everyone for their outpouring of love and support."

We got the VP wannabeen in DC this weekend, where we asked the mother of five "What's the best thing a mother can say to her kids?" Her response: "Obey ... listen to what we say!"
