Harvey Weinstein's low on cash flow, so he's telling his ex-wife he can't afford to pay child support for a year ... maybe more ... according to her, anyway.

Eve Chilton made the claim in docs submitted when she tried to get a one-time advance payment to cover $5 million in child support Weinstein still owes for their 3 daughters. The judge denied that request, citing Weinstein's track record of not missing any previous payments.

As we reported ... Chilton, who divorced Weinstein in 2004, was worried their daughters wouldn't get the money because Weinstein was using it to fight numerous lawsuits.

The timing's interesting here -- Weinstein just reached a divorce settlement this week with his most recent ex-wife, Georgina Chapman ... reportedly in the $15 to $20 million range.

He'll still have to make regular child support payments, as scheduled, to Chilton.

Chris Brown got himself a pet monkey -- but never got a permit to keep her -- so now he's sans monkey and could face criminal charges ... TMZ has learned.

As we reported ... CB took heat last month after posting a pic of his 3-year-old daughter Royalty holding the baby capuchin monkey named Fiji, because people thought it was a danger to her and belongs in the wild. Chris told everyone to chill.

According to law enforcement ... several folks notified the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, who opened an investigation.

Turns out Chris never got a permit for the exotic pet, so authorities got a search warrant but before Chris' house got raided, he voluntarily agreed to surrender the animal.

According to our sources ... CB could be charged with having a restricted species without a permit, a misdemeanor, that carries a maximum of 6 months in jail. The case has been turned over to the L.A. City Attorney.

Chris' lawyer, Mark Geragos, tells TMZ, "As I leave my office in Downtown L.A. and walk past people sleeping on the street on my way to defend people charged by the City Attorney with selling medical marijuana ... now spending taxpayer money on investigating monkey business, this completes the circle on his absurdity."

As for Fiji ... she's fine.

It was a timeline of Lohans Thursday night in NYC as three generations -- Lindsay Lohan, her mother Dina, and her grandma -- all filed out of a birthday dinner.

The Lo ladies were celebrating grandma's 94th birthday at Sant Ambroeus. Lindsay's bro, Dakota, and sister Ali were also there, but we gotta say ... grandma Sullivan is the star here. She's a spry 94!

Btw, LiLo's lobbying hard for the title role in the upcoming "Batgirl" film, and seemed optimistic when we asked her about it, despite some less than positive reactions on Twitter.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus' last day of chemo was Thursday and her 2 sons celebrated the milestone in her breast cancer battle with a video tribute ... and an assist from Michael Jackson.

Julia posted the vid of 20-year-old Charlie and 25-year-old Henry dancing and lip syncing to MJ's "Beat It" ... an homage to Mom kicking her chemo treatment's ass.

JLD revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in September and started chemo shortly after.

She captioned the video, "Pretty swell, right? Ain’t they sweet?”

Paul Wall can't fathom how United Airlines fired one of his closest friends after 16 years of service ... and in the process put the guy's financial future at risk.

If you haven't heard ... the rapper on Tuesday fired off a couple of tweets claiming United fired a close family friend -- and a combat disabled veteran at that -- for allowing Paul to fly for free using his corporate friends and family privilege. Paul says the friend's been with United for 16 years and was close to retirement.

The rapper tells us he's done it plenty of times, but thinks the airline started digging into his flight history after he dissed them on Twitter. He feels horrible how things went down for his friend.

Dallas Cowboys CB Chidobe Awuzie is gettin' major brownie points for this one ... the NFL'er bought a brand new RANGE ROVER for his mom's birthday!!

Chido -- a 2nd-round pick in the 2017 draft -- posted the surprise on Wednesday, saying his mother, Victoria, always dreamed of having a Range Rover ... so he surprised her with the new 2018 Velar!!

We know you're wonderin' ... the whip's starting price is around $50k.

Ex-NFL lineman Branden Albert is living proof "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" is actually good for humanity ... because the show inspired him to give a million bucks to a great cause!

The 2-time Pro Bowler, who played for the Chiefs and Dolphins, tells TMZ ... he happened to catch a glimpse of a 'KUWTK' episode a couple months ago where Kim Kardashian was visiting Alexandria House, a shelter for homeless women and homeless women with kids in L.A.

Branden says Alexandria House's mission really hit home for him because he grew up in a single-parent home where his mom and aunt worked many jobs to make ends meet. So, he decided to donate $1 million to them at the end of 2017 in honor of his mom, who died 5 years ago from pancreatic cancer.

And just like Kim K says in the episode ... Branden hopes he can motivate others to help make a difference.

As for the million bucks ... a rep for Alexandria House tells us they hope to use it to buy another complex to accommodate the 600 or so people they turn away monthly simply because they don't have space.

Ricky Martin is officially off the market -- he says he's married to Jwan Yosef, but a big celebration is still to come.

The 'Assassination of Gianni Versace' star says he and Yosef -- who announced their engagement in November 2016 -- have taken all the required steps to make their marriage official ... and he's now a husband.

Martin told E! News they exchanged vows and signed all the paperwork -- including prenups -- so all that's left now is the party, which he says is coming soon.

Congrats!

"Big Brother" star Amber Siyavus' daughter has died from an apparent suicide ... TMZ has learned.

Lexi Tomcavage died Monday night in Ohio, and her death is being investigated as a suicide ... according to the Stark County Medical Examiner. On Sunday, Lexi tweeted 3 times about missing her friend who recently died ... saying "i miss you" and "never been like this before."

Siyavus was a houseguest on Season 8 of 'BB' and was known for her frequent crying. Fans gave her the nickname "Whamber." She finished in 7th place.

Amber's daughter, Lexi, was 18.

RIP

Riddle us this -- if Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian all go to lunch in the rain, with two sisters expecting but only one of them pregnant ... who drives?

The question's gotta be asked, 'cause the 3 Kardashians found themselves in that exact situation Tuesday as they all grabbed some Italian in Woodland Hills.

It was pouring as they left, and while they certainly had their umbrella handlers -- they didn't have their own driver ... meaning 1 of these ladies got behind the wheel.

O.J. Simpson seems pretty convinced he's NOT Khloe Kardashian's real father -- and he's banking on you buying those two magic words ... "Trust me."

Juice finally addressed the conspiracy theory that's been floating around for decades ... that he secretly knocked up Kris behind Robert Kardashian's back 34 years ago -- and the family has been covering it up ever since.

So, when he was out in Vegas over the weekend -- a photog asked if congratulations were in order regarding Khloe's pregnancy.

Simpson clearly understood the subtext -- and replied, "Well, for Bob, God bless his soul, yeah. I don't know for me. I don't think for me I have nothing to do with it."

He added, "I would be proud ... but trust me, I had nothing to do with it."

Meanwhile, watch O.J.'s daughter, Arnelle, in the background -- she's CONVINCED her dad's no Kardashian creator.

Gianni Versace's family is livid and disgusted at everyone who contributed in the TV re-creation of the bloody murder scene.

Our Versace family sources say they can't believe the current owners of Gianni's Miami Beach mansion -- now the Villa Casa Casuarina -- gave full access to producers of "The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story." In particular they're appalled the show was able to dramatize the death scene on the very steps Gianni was gunned down.

We're told Donatella is still devastated over her brother's death and believes Gianni was so private he never would have wanted the grisly murder exploited for a TV movie.

As we reported ... filming began at the now luxury hotel back in May where 'ACS' set up shop for almost an entire month.

The family tells TMZ they didn't sign off on the project and had no involvement in the production, and they feel there are enough inaccuracies that the miniseries should be considered a work of fiction.

Donatella has already said she will NOT watch the show. That said, we're told family friends have already screened the first episode and were APPALLED to watch the horrifying murder.

The family plans no legal action ... fact is, it's virtually impossible to win a case like this.

We have reached out to the Villa Casa Casuarina ... so far no word back.

Bam Margera's going to knock out a couple entertainment gigs in L.A., and then start trying to get a handle on his life ... TMZ has learned.

Bam's mom, April Margera, tells us ... the plan is for him to head to a California rehab facility Friday, after he fulfills the commitment he made to shoot a TV show on Wednesday and Thursday.

April says she and Bam's father researched rehab centers to help their son pick the right one. Bam's wife, Nicole, is also lending a hand, but we're told Johnny Schillereff -- Bam's pal and CEO of Element Skateboards -- has taken the reins in getting him help.

We're told "Dr. Phil" reached out to Margera Monday after we broke the news friends and fam were trying to get Bam help, but he turned it down.

Bam's mom tells us there's no timetable for his rehab stint -- they'll just see how he responds.

After his DUI arrest, we're told the first thing Bam said was he wants to be there for his wife and their newborn son, Phoenix.

Anna Faris and her new modern fam bam are one happy bunch ... so, why not hit up the Happiest Place on Earth?!

Anna, her boyfriend Michael Barrett and her son, Jack, hit up Disneyland Sunday for a fun family outing. Jack hopped on Michael's shoulders for a ride (Jack's getting used to that by now) but no doubt he cracked a bigger smile on the actual rides. Michael's son was also there.

They hit up the Tea Cups and the Matterhorn, and when it was time to chow down, the bunch hit up Storytellers Cafe at the Grand Californian Hotel.

Bam Margera's inner circle is taking immediate steps to get him help after his DUI arrest over the weekend ... by actively seeking out a rehab center for him.

TMZ broke the story ... Bam was arrested Sunday morning in L.A. after cops say they smelled alcohol on his breath. We spoke with Bam's mother, April Margera, who tells us Bam had been doing better with his alcoholism over the past 8 months, and was seeing a zen healer as well as a therapist ... but fell off the wagon this weekend.

She also says he's been angry with himself since the episode, and seems receptive to rehab. April adds ... she and Bam's pal, Johnny Schillereff -- who 's CEO of Element Skateboards -- are working together to find a treatment facility ... possibly in Cali or Arizona.

April also says Bam has been telling the family that he feels immense pressure when people say "Bam is sober" ... because he struggles with his mental health and addiction every day.

We're told Bam was originally in L.A. to shoot a TV show this week ... unclear if he still plans to move forward with it at this point, though.

Diana Ross was all about partying Saturday night as she impressively busted some classic moves.

Diana and her son, Evan Ross, hit up The Abbey in WeHo ... possibly the most famous gay club in the U.S. The crowd was more than ready for the former Supreme who showed everyone -- at 73 -- she's still got it.

When the DJ cranked up "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" the crowd went crazy as Diana grooved.

On her way out our photog asked about sexual harassment.
