Bruce Jenner I'm Putting On the Brakes For My Sex Change Docuseries ... For Now
Bruce Jenner has stopped production of his docuseries chronicling his transformation from a man into a woman, because he feels pressured by producers and has concerns about his family.
Sources connected with the project tell TMZ ... Bruce told producers 2 weeks ago he felt like they were rushing him and compromising his family by gunning for a May air date.
Bruce has two big issues -- he wants to make sure his 3 sons are "in a good place" to handle the radical change he's undergoing. He realized the cart was driving the horse, and that the show cannot proceed until his kids are psychologically able to handle it.
We're also told the recent car crash -- in which a woman died as an apparent result of his inattentiveness -- has had such an emotional impact on him that he needs to deal with it before proceeding with the docuseries.
A source directly connected to the project told us ... "There's a 99.9% chance the docuseries will happen," but it's still possible Bruce could pull the plug. As we reported, Bunim/Murray Productions will produce the docuseries.
Our sources say there's almost no doubt it will air, but there's no way it will happen in May.
One project will NOT be delayed. We're told Bruce's interview with Diane Sawyer is proceeding on schedule. It's being shot in various locations with Bruce and is not affected by his family or the crash.

Bobbi Kristina's Aunt Rails on Dr. Phil How Could You Give Nick a Platform?!
Bobbi Kristina's aunt is pissed at Dr. Phil for making it seem Nick Gordon is a poor soul who needs help, at the same time he's under criminal investigation for allegedly trying to do in Bobbi Kristina.
Leolah Brown indignantly went on Facebook Saturday night and railed on the TV show for giving Gordon a platform, saying, "We have strong evidence of foul play. Until this investigation is completed by law enforcement, I would ask that you or anyone else not provide this individual a platform to spin this situation to his benefit."
TMZ broke the story ... the criminal investigation was launched when authorities found injuries on Bobbi Kristina's body after she was dragged out of the bathtub. Gordon has refused to be interviewed by cops or tell the Brown family what happened.
Leolah added, "If Nick Gordon does not have the courage to speak with my brother Bobby Brown and/or law enforcement about what happened the day my niece's body was found in a bathtub, he does not deserve to have a platform to speak to anyone of your caliber until this investigation is concluded."
Dr. Phil did an intervention with Nick, who says he's constantly high on booze and Xanax. Phil's show paid for the rehab ... we don't know if there was more in it for Nick.
Bobbi Kristina Nick Gordon Wasted, Violent During Dr. Phil Interview
Nick Gordon was so whacked out on drugs and alcohol before his "interview" with Dr. Phil, he couldn't even walk and was pushed around on a luggage cart.
Our sources say Nick was staying at an Atlanta hotel for what he believed was an interview with Phil ... when in fact it was an intervention staged by Nick's mom. We're told Nick's lawyer would not allow him to talk about anything connected with the events that led up to Bobbi Kristina's tragedy.
Nick's mom did a lot of the talking, and told Phil her son was deep into booze and Xanax. Nick was so messed up he could barely form sentences.
When Nick realized this was an intervention to get him into rehab, he went nuts. We're told on his way out of the interview he punched 2 members of Dr. Phil's staff.
In the end, we're told Nick went to the rehab facility.

Chris Brown Baby Mama's Ex-Husband Warns ... Watch Your Temper, Or Else!
Chris Brown's history of having a temper could bite him in the ass ... because his baby mama's ex-husband is putting the singer on notice -- watch your temper around my family, or we've got a problem.
TMZ spoke with Terry Amey -- who says he was married to Nia from 2003 - 2014 -- and they have a 13 year-old daughter together ... which is why he's letting Chris know he means business.
Terry says he and Nia were separated when she got knocked up ... but since Avery knew it wasn't his kid, he finally filed for divorce. He claims he had no idea the baby belonged to C.B.
Amey tells us he's aware of Chris' notorious temper and says he better not lose it around Nia and the kids, or there will be repercussions. He was not more specific about what that means, but it's clearly a threat.

Chris Brown to Baby Mama You Blabbed ... Now You're Gonna Pay
Chris Brown is headed for family court, where his baby mama is now in danger of raking in a lot less in child support because of her big mouth.
Sources connected with Brown tell TMZ ... the singer didn't know he was the father of 9-month-old Royalty until last month, when Nia Guzman dropped the news. We're told Chris quickly made a deal with her where he would pay monthly child support.
Our sources say Chris is forking out substantially more than he'd be required to pay if a judge ordered formal child support. There's a scale on how much a parent pays, based largely on income. We're told Chris upped that amount and in return demanded that she keep her lips sealed.
We know Chris now believes Nia has been leaking stories and talking about their relationship. As a result, our sources say his lawyers are now preparing legal docs, in which he will ask a judge for an order requiring him to pay child support. It sounds strange, but he'll pay less than he does now.

Chris Brown's been jonesin' to be a daddy for a long time, and tried to get Karrueche Tran to be the baby mama -- but before there was a bun in the oven, she wanted a ring on her hand.
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... Chris and Karrueche had the baby talk frequently for at least the last 2 years -- and she was down to have a tiny CB ... IF he would make her an honest woman.
We're told KT feels strongly about marriage before kids, and stood her ground with Chris. Although he stepped up with a couple of diamonds last Christmas -- he couldn't close the deal ... since they weren't engagement rings.
Karrueche was also worried about derailing her budding acting career.
Even though she wasn't ready yet ...we're told Karrueche still thought she and Chris would have kids together in the future. As one source put it, she's "devastated he did this" with a side chick.
Like the lady said ... "One can only take so much."

We've learned Nia named the kid Royalty. What we don't know ... whether she consulted Chris before inking the birth certificate.

Nick Gordon I'm Spilling Bobbi Kristina Secrets ... to Dr. Phil
Nick Gordon will finally tell his version of events that led to Bobbi Kristina face down in a bathtub near death, but he won't be telling cops ... he'll be yakking to Dr. Phil.
We're told Phil will meet Nick in the next few days and they will set a time for the formal sit-down. We're told the good doctor will ask about his battles with Bobby Brown and family ... battles that have kept him from Bobbi Kristina's hospital bed.
Here's the tricky part. Nick is the target of a criminal investigation that was launched when authorities noticed that Bobbi Kristina had visible injuries. As the saying goes ... whatever Nick says can be held against him, and it would be weird, to say the least, if Nick pled the 5th on Phil's show.
And finally, warning to Dr. Phil ... Nick has proven flaky in the past, so cross your fingers and hope he shows.

Nick Cannon Buying Dem Babies 3 MIL Worth Of Crawl Space
Nick Cannon is becoming a bridge and tunnel kind of guy ... moving to New Jersey where the twins will have 2 lush acres in which to roam.
We're told Nick strategically picked Saddle River -- 1 hour out of NYC -- to keep the 3-year-olds out of the spotlight. Fact is ... it would be hard to find the equivalent in the City. The house has 6 bedrooms, 8 baths, a private lake, and on and on.
Nick's renting to own, but not because he can't cut it. He'll pay $11k a month with an option to buy the $3 mil estate, assuming he likes it enough.
The house will not have Mariah's ornate touches. Nick's mom will help him decorate ... after his escapades a few weeks back, we're guessing there might be some Jamaican influences.
