Marc Anthony Drops Mucho Dinero to Live In ... THE VALLEY!

Published | Updated

Marc Anthony's ready to make a big commitment again ... no, not to heiress GF Chloe Green ... but to a 6,200-square-foot mansion in the San Fernando Valley. Yes ... THE VALLEY!

J.Lo's ex is laying down permanent L.A. roots, dropping around $2.5 million on a swanky Italian style villa in Encino ... this according to legal docs. He was previously renting a pad in WeHo for $23k a month.

The Downside: Owning a house in the Valley equals muy caliente weather (seriously it's terrible).

The Upside: Marc will be chillin' in the lap of luxury ... 6 bedrooms, 7.5 baths, courtyard entry with fountain, marble fireplaces, wine cellar, gym, resort-style pool, spa ... plus a separate pool house with kitchen and BBQ.

Not to mention the smokin' hot billionaire he keeps in his bedroom.

Brooke Mueller Tries to Wrestle Twins From Charlie and Denise

Published | Updated

Brooke Mueller is making a full-court press to move her twins from Denise Richards' home to Brooke's brother's home ... because she fears Charlie Sheen's volcanic temper will put their kids in harm's way.

Sources connected with the custody war tell TMZ ... Brooke's lawyers are going to court today in an effort to remove Bob and Max, the 4-year-old twins, from Denise's home. Brooke wants the kids to stay with her brother while she rehabs at The Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage.

Brooke believes Charlie is violent, and by putting the kids in Denise's care, it exposes them to Charlie. Brooke's lawyers are going to custody court today ... to get what they claim are sealed documents outlining a pattern of violence on Charlie's part. They want to take those documents to dependency court, where a judge stripped Brooke of custody.

Our sources say Charlie and Denise both think it's ridiculous to put the kids in the care of Brooke's bro, because he has no real relationship with the twins. What's more, it would mean uprooting the kids from their school, doctors, family, friends, etc.

Fact is ... Denise has bailed Brooke out of these situations multiple times in the past and Charlie has helped out, so it seems weird that suddenly that arrangement is so risky.

Selena Gomez Countersues Perfume Co. -- You're The Real Stinker!!!

Published | Updated

Selena Gomez believes a lawsuit filed against her by a fragrance co. belongs in the eau de toilette ... because the parfumeurs actually owe HER millions after their business deal fell apart -- TMZ has learned.

As we reported, the perfume company Adrenalina sued Gomez last month, accusing the singer of backing out of an endorsement deal worth millions of dollars ... and leaving Adrenalina up the creek without a spokesperson.

Now, Selena is firing back -- filing her own countersuit against the company, insisting she only backed out of the deal because Adrenalina was going broke ... and couldn't afford to manufacture and market her perfume line.

According to Selena's lawsuit -- filed by her attorney Michael Weinsten -- Adrenalina promised to pay her a 5% royalty on sales of all Selena-brand scents, including a guaranteed minimum of $5.2 million ... but it could barely afford to pay its own employees.

When she found out Adrenalina was going belly up, she claims she terminated the deal to protect her reputation.

She's now suing Adrenalina for $5.2 million minimum. Calls to Adrenalina weren't returned.
