Jack Osbourne is officially a single man again -- a judge just greenlit his divorce from Lisa Stelly.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Jack and Lisa's divorce case is now closed ... the judge signed off Tuesday on their agreement. It's been nearly a year since Lisa initially filed for divorce from Jack -- and there's been a lot that's happened between them since then.

Jack allegedly punched Lisa's new boyfriend, Michael Gabel, when he tried intervening in an argument Jack and Lisa were having a few months after she took their split to court. A battery report was taken, but Michael refused to press charges against Jack.

Sources familiar with the situation told us at the time that Jack thought he and Lisa were on track to repair their relationship, and the new BF showing up threw him. Jack was spotted back at the house a few days after the attack and he left without incident that time.

Based on what we've seen from Lisa and Jack in the recent past, things should be just fine now as they continue to co-parent. They have 3 young kids together.

We broke the story ... Jack and Lisa settled their divorce back in the summer, with Jack agreeing to pay her a sizable cash payout and significant child support. They're going to share joint custody of the kids.

What Michael Jackson couldn't get from Joe Jackson, he got from one of his bodyguards instead ... according to a letter written by the King of Pop.

Michael's handwritten note, from around 1992, was addressed to his personal security guard, Bill Bray ... and filled with references to his traumatic childhood. For instance, he wrote ... "Joseph never ever had time for me, he only saw me as a way for him to make money."

The point Jackson wanted to make was that Bill had been the father figure he never had.

RR Auction is putting the letter up on the block Thursday, and we're told it's expected to fetch more than $18,000!!!

It'll be interesting to see if the letter's value is affected by the renewed controversy generated by the "Leaving Neverland" documentary.

In the letter, Michael tells Bill he loves him and admits, "I don't know what would have happened to me if you were not around." He straight-up thanks his bodyguard for "being a father" to him.

According to RR, Bill started working security for the Jackson 5 in the 1970s ... and kept working with Michael -- as a bodyguard and close confidant -- until retiring in the mid-1990s.

Joycelyn Savage will finally be reunited with her family, and R. Kelly's team is actually making it happen.

The Savages' family attorney, Gerald Griggs, tells TMZ ... a new member of R. Kelly's team, who the family had not spoken to previously, agreed to arrange for Joycelyn to meet with her family members face-to-face sometime early next week.

Griggs says the agreement is tentative for now, because they haven't locked down a specific date, time or location ... but we're told they're looking at Monday or Tuesday. Griggs also tells us the Savages made it clear they wanted to meet in a neutral city outside of Chicago.

If the meeting does take place -- and the Savages believe it will -- we're told they plan to bring a psychologist along to evaluate Joycelyn.

Joycelyn's parents and siblings had a conference call with her Wednesday, just hours before R. Kelly was arrested for failing to pay back child support. A lot of people are saying Joycelyn sounded like she was reading from a script during the conversation. However, she maintains that she's fine, happy and exactly where she wants to be.

The potential meetup is HUGE news, considering the Savages have been trying to move mountains to get some face time with their daughter after years without direct contact.

Joycelyn is alleged to be one of R. Kelly's "sex slaves," and we're told the change of heart might have something to do with the fact that R. Kelly's legal sitch isn't looking good.

Luke Perry's son just broke his silence on his father's recent passing, reflecting on their time together and promising to carry on his legacy ... while understandably admitting his heart's broken.

Jack Perry just shared a photo from one of his wrestling matches on Instagram Wednesday, in which his dad's proudly watching in the background.

Jack, who wrestles under the name "Jungle Boy," thanked his father for supporting him and inspiring him ... in a heartfelt tribute to his father.

Jack says, "I've learned so much from you, and my heart is broken thinking about everything you won't be here for. I'll miss you every day that I walk this earth."

TMZ broke the story ... Luke died Monday after suffering a massive stroke at his Los Angeles home last week. His reps says Jack was among the family, friends and loved ones at his side when he passed.

Jack adds he's going to do everything he can to make his father proud and carry on his legacy.

Skin color controversy be damned, Steve Harvey thinks Will Smith would be the PERFECT guy to play Serena Williams' dad on the big screen.

There's a new movie being shopped around about Richard Williams -- Serena and Venus' father -- and it appears Will Smith is the #1 choice to play the #1 dad.

But, there's been a major backlash from people who say Will's complexion is too LIGHT to match the real Richard ... and critics are already calling for potential producers to find a more dark-skinned actor.

Steve Harvey doesn't see it that way ... telling TMZ Sports the beloved entertainer can do no wrong.

"Hell yeah, Will Smith is a good choice for everything."

Smith hasn't officially signed on to the project or even commented about it publicly. The project is only in the "spec script" stage.

However, there's been a push on social media for other actors to get the lead role -- suggested names have included Don Cheadle, Forest Whitaker and even Usher.

We asked what Harvey thought about the latter ... and it's safe to say he ain't buyin' it.

"Come on, man."

As for the biopic ... Deadline reports its working title is "King Richard" and will tell the story of how the world's most famous tennis parent raised the 2 sisters from the streets of Compton to international tennis superstardom, despite Richard having no real tennis experience of his own.

Paris Jackson isn't swayed by the allegations levied against her father in "Leaving Neverland" -- and firmly believes Michael Jackson was not a child molester.

Sources close to Paris tell TMZ ... she hasn't seen the explosive new documentary, and contrary to reports, she was not offered the chance to see it before it premiered at Sundance.

We're also told she's not the least bit torn or conflicted about its content -- Wade Robson and James Safechuck's graphic description of their alleged molestation at Jackson's hands.

Reaction to the project has been intense and passionate -- on both sides -- with even the almost universally beloved Oprah catching flak for her interview with the accusers.

The Jackson family as a whole has been outspoken about their anger over the documentary -- and Tito's son, Taj Jackson, told us he thinks Robson's making it all up for revenge.

Interestingly, Paris' mom, Debbie Rowe, is also avoiding it. Our sources say she doesn't see a point in watching 'Neverland' because Michael's been dead for years.

Fair to say, Michael's family is taking a united stance.

Luke Perry's son is dropping out of a wrestling show he was scheduled to be a part of next week ... after his father died following a massive stroke.

Jack Perry -- who wrestles under the name "Jungle Boy" -- is pulling out of Bar Wrestling's March 13 show in Los Angeles ... according to an announcement from the organization.

Bar Wrestling says Jack won't be getting in the ring next week at the Bootleg Theater ... saying "our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time."

It's unclear why Jack is dropping out of the event ... but it's safe to assume his father's death is playing a role in his decision.

We broke the story ... Luke died Monday after being unable to recover from a massive stroke. He was 52.

Luke Perry's daughter has broken her silence on her father's passing by thanking everyone and, understandably ... admitting she's at a loss about what to do next.

Sophie Perry shared a sweet photo with her dad on Instagram Tuesday, in which the 2 are smiling while standing in a pasture with some horses. She also touched on the tragic week that befell her family.

She says ... "A lot has happened in this past week for me. Everything is happening so fast. I made it back from Malawi just in time to be here with my family."

Sophie adds she's received an overwhelming amount of love, support and heartfelt messages, and while she can't respond to all of them ... she wants everyone to know she's extremely grateful.

As for dealing with her dad's death, Luke's daughter says she's not sure how to handle the situation because ... "it’s something you aren’t ever given a lesson on how to handle, especially when it’s all happening in the public eye."

We broke the story ... Perry died Monday after being unable to recover from a massive stroke he suffered last week. He was 52.

RIP

Fabolous just struck a plea deal in his domestic violence case ... and he'll avoid jail time.

According to the Bergen County, NJ Court ... the rapper will enter a pretrial intervention program. This is generally offered to first-time offenders. Fab's attorney, Brian Neary, tells TMZ ... the charges will be dismissed as long as he completes the program and keeps his nose clean for a year.

Neary says Fab must give the court a status update once a month. He also doesn't need to take part in any therapy or anger management courses.

Huge ... considering Fab faced up to 20 years behind bars.

TMZ broke the story ... a grand jury indicted Fabolous back in October 2018 on 1 count of domestic violence with significant bodily injury, 2 counts of threatening to kill and 1 count of possession of a weapon ... a pair of scissors.

The indictment stemmed from a physical altercation -- captured on video -- between Fabolous and Emily B, the mother of his 2 kids. That Fabolous scored a deal's not surprising ... considering Emily's father -- whom Fabolous also allegedly threatened -- patched things up a day after the incident.

2:38 PM PT -- According to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Parker lists their date of separation as February 28, 2019. Trey is asking for joint legal and physical custody ... and wants their prenup enforced.

"South Park" creator Trey Parker has filed for divorce from his wife after nearly 5 years of marriage.

Parker filed docs in Los Angeles Tuesday to split from Boogie Parker. The pair got hitched in 2014, and they had a daughter named Betty together before tying the knot. Betty has worked on the show for years, voicing Ike, Kyle's adopted Canadian brother.

This was Parker's second marriage -- he was also married to Emma Sugiyama from 2006-2008.

Trey also has an incredible resume, creating "The Book of Mormon" with Matt Stone. He also wrote the movie, "Team America."

Parker started "South Park" with Matt Stone and Brian Graden in 1997 ... he met Stone at University of Colorado in Boulder when he was studying music and Japanese.

Bebe Rexha's fully reconciled with her pops after a father-daughter dinner -- that was cute as hell -- but she admits the peace treaty could be tentative.

The Brooklyn-born singer was hand-in-hand with Dad, Flamur Rexha, Monday night as they walked into Trattoria Trecolori in Midtown Manhattan. We asked 'em if this was a peace-brokering meal, and Bebe assured us it was. Papa Rexha cosigned.

Remember ... Bebe high-tailed it back home to NYC last week to have a chat with her dad after he freaked out over the sexy imagery in her new "Last Hurrah" music vid. She posted a screen grab of a text he'd sent her ... and her fans went HAM on Dad for his criticism.

Bebe then stood up for him, firing off warning shots to her followers, telling one of our photogs ... "Don't talk s**t about my dad!"

Unclear if they got the message or not, but it looks like Mr. Rexha talked it out with his kid, and now they're all good. Yay!!!

As for how he feels about the video that pissed him off in the first place -- Bebe tells us Dad's all good, at least until the next one.

And, if ya think he's edgy about her music videos, you've gotta see Bebe tell us how he feels about her dating. Pay attention, fellas ... Papa bear don't take no mess!

Cardi B and Offset are still going strong, even in another country ... because they're doing it big south of the border -- spending quality time on a yacht in Mexico.

The recently reunited couple is having fun in the sun together down in Baja California, starting their week off right with a beautiful day on the water in Los Cabos. Yeah, they know how to #MondayFunday.

Offset is performing with Migos for a bunch of college kids on spring break, and CB took full advantage of her husband's work trip. Smart move, Cardi.

The hip-hop stars are sampling everything Cabo has to offer -- amazing resorts, fresh seafood, perfect boating weather -- and it looks like they're having one helluva time. Gotta love that exchange rate!!!

Seems the sun is taking a lot out of Offset ... but hey, at least he found a great spot for a nap!!!

Michael Jackson's nephew is bashing Wade Robson -- one of MJ's accusers in "Leaving Neverland" -- claiming he's only changing his story for revenge over a job ... one he didn't get.

Taj Jackson came on "TMZ Live" Monday, and he started slamming the MJ accuser over his molestation allegations in the HBO documentary. According to Taj, Robson wanted a gig with the Cirque du Soleil show, "Michael Jackson One."

As you know ... Wade claims MJ molested him when he was a young boy, and he goes into graphic detail in the new doc. But, Tito Jackson's son says Wade's only coming forward now because he didn't get the Cirque job.

Taj adds ... Wade's changed his story several times, and he suspects money is motivating him to say the things he says in 'Neverland.'

Daniel Cormier wasn't interested in watching Jon Jones fight Anthony Smith in person on Saturday ... he had other things on his mind -- like taking his family to Disneyland!!!

Despite the crazy feud between the two, DC tells us he wasn't going to let Jones dictate his weekend -- and instead opted to take his wife and kids to the Magic Kingdom in Anaheim, CA -- 260 miles from the Jones fight in Vegas.

There was a good reason for the trip ... DC's daughter, Marquita, turned 7 years old and the UFC champ wanted to do something special for her birthday.

Of course, while Cormier was enjoying the Happiest Place on Earth, Jones put a beating on Anthony Smith at UFC 235 ... boosting his official record to an impressive 24-1-1.

Jones doesn't acknowledge his 1 loss -- because it was due to a disqualification from an illegal elbow in a fight he was otherwise dominating.

It was almost deja vu for Jones this weekend -- he hit Smith with an illegal knee and was THIIIS close to being DQ'd again ... but Smith took the honorable path out and opted to continue the fight.

Jones won in a unanimous decision.

Cormier -- the reigning UFC heavyweight champ -- and Dana White say he's gunning to set up a 3rd fight with Jones before he hangs it up for good.

DC lost the first time he fought Jones and was KO'd in the rematch -- but that 2nd loss was later ruled a "no contest" because Jones tested positive for a banned substance.

So, will DC agree to one last brawl with his arch enemy?

San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer says he's stepping away from the MLB team to take some "personal time" in the wake of a physical altercation with his wife that was captured on video.

TMZ Sports posted footage of Baer knocking his wife, Pam, to the ground during an altercation in a public park in San Francisco on Friday ... while his wife screamed for help.

Both Pam and Larry had chalked the whole thing up to a marital spat that got out of hand -- Pam said she would NOT be pursuing charges and had already forgiven her husband.

Now, Larry has issued a new statement admitting his behavior was "unacceptable" --- and will take time away from the team.

The Giants board of directors issued a statement saying, "Mr. Baer has acknowledged that his behavior was unacceptable, apologized to the organization and is committed to taking steps to make sure that this never happens again."

"He has also requested, and the board has accepted, his request to take personal time away from the Giants beginning today. The Board has asked the Giants executive team to manage the day to day operations of the Club during this period, reporting directly to the Board."

The team says they are also "closely monitoring the matter" and still gathering information.

"Major League Baseball is taking the lead in gathering all facts surrounding the situation. The organization is cooperating fully with the process."

Baer has been involved with the Giants organization for decades. He was named chief operating officer in May 1996, team president in October 2008 and CEO on January 1, 2012.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna weren't faking it when they exchanged Twitter pleasantries -- the two are actively communicating and repairing their relationship ... for Dream's sake.

Sources close to the former couple say they underwent at least 7 mediation sessions together to iron out a deal for custody of Dream, and they've continued to be in direct contact about their daughter's care. Translation: for the first time in a LONG time Rob and Chyna are cordial.

We're told the goal is for Rob and Chyna to make face-to-face handoffs of Dream. Of course, they'll still have nannies standing by to assist sometimes.

As for the physical custody of Dream -- Rob will have her for the majority, but they'll be splitting holidays equally and finding ways to accommodate both parents' schedules.

We're told they came to an understanding, during mediation, that neither would bring a new significant other around Dream unless it was a long term, healthy relationship.

As we reported, Rob was previously forking over $20K per month in child support, but that number has been reduced.
