Melanie Griffith Still Walking Around With Antonio on Her Arm
Melanie Griffith is still carrying Antonio Banderas in the form of a tattoo on her right arm ... and she flat out showed it off yesterday in Santa Monica.
As TMZ first reported, the "Working Girl" filed for divorce from Antonio after 18 years of marriage. Griffith wants custody of their daughter and spousal support.
A referral to a good tattoo removal doc wouldn't hurt either.
However the divorce plays out, it's clearly going to take some time for Melanie to entirely erase Antonio from her life.

The toughest change for Casper -- he won't be sitting front row during Paris Fashion Week with Kanye.
And there's this. Our sources say Jennifer won't be doling out any money for Casper to land on his feet, but we're told that's the way he wants it. As it was put to us, "He's too much of a man" and hasn't asked for anything.
Well, Melanie Griffith is gonna be single soon ...

Melanie Griffith Divorcing Antonio Banderas
Melanie Griffith has filed for divorce from Antonio Banderas ... TMZ has learned.
Griffith's legal docs cite irreconcilable differences as the reason for ending her 18-year marriage.
In the docs -- filed by disso-queen Laura Wasser -- Griffith is asking for child support and sole physical and joint legal custody, although it's pretty much moot -- Stella, their only child together, turns 18 in September.
Griffith is also asking for spousal support.
The legal docs do not list the date of separation.
Sources connected with the couple tell TMZ ... the divorce is amicable. As for dividing property, we're told it's a little complicated ... they have lots of real estate, both in the U.S. and Spain.

JLo, Casper WE'VE SPLIT But It has Nothing to Do with Transsexual Texts
Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart have called it quits after nearly 2 1/2 years ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with the former couple tell us ... they actually split nearly 2 months ago, but kept it on the down low. We're told the breakup was civil. They're still friendly but simply grew apart.
We're told the breakup had nothing to do with recent stories of Casper's sexual escapades. One source put it this way: "Casper has been a single guy and can text or see whoever he wants, but the idea that he was knowingly texting a transsexual is laughable." The source added, "He's not that guy, but like a lot of single guys online he obviously likes to look at a 'lil T and A."
Casper is in the process of moving out right now. We're told there was no rush because JLo's been on the road promoting her 10th album, AKA.
We're told Casper will be pursuing acting, which is why he took show directing and choreography off his Instagram.
Jennifer Lopez Just a Reminder ... My Butt Is Out of Sight!

Charlie Sheen I'd Go Back to 'Two & a Half Men'
Charlie Sheen is extending an olive branch -- not to Rihanna, but to Chuck Lorre and "Two and a Half Men" by actually putting it out there ... he's hoping to return to the show in its final season.
As Charlie left Giorgi Baldi (scene of the RiRi diss) last night ... he talked about 'Men' coming to and end, and even took the high road when asked about Ashton Kutcher.
But Charlie says the upcoming final season would be incomplete without a Warlock sighting ... and it's pretty clear he's not joking.
Considering his character was struck and killed by a train ... it's gonna take one helluva dream sequence to bring him back.

Charlie Sheen Rips Rihanna Yes I AM a Queen ... The Queen of Mean
Rihanna is in over her head -- Charlie Sheen has just issued a biting response to the singer's "queen" jab ... mocking her subpar command of the English language.
Charlie issued the response to TMZ in (what else) poem format:
"Dear Ms. Rihan-
oh wait, no last name,
Okay, Dear R -
clearly English is NOT
your primary language.
Firstly I want to thank you for recognizing me as Royalty. I'm flattered.
And secondly;
do the good Queen a favor and go tend to the dungeon in my Castle.
But beware of the
rats and the snakes.
They stir with folly
awaiting your tepid advance,
in the shadows..."
later Doosh!
cs"
It's unclear if Rihanna was being homophobic, but "queen" is commonly a pejorative term for gay people ... and Rihanna's been in trouble before for allegedly bashing gays ... so we gotta ask ...

Pitbull Sues to Jock Block 'Pit Bull' ... The Cocktail
Rapper Pitbull doesn't want his fans getting drunk on the wrong vodka recipe ... so he's suing to stop a booze company from slapping his name on their product.
Pitbull filed a federal lawsuit against E. & J. Winery & New Amsterdam Spirits Company over a vodka recipe they're pushing called "The Pit Bull."
The recipe -- 2 parts New Amsterdam vodka, 1/2 part lime juice, 1/2 part grapefruit juice, 2 parts lemon/lime soda -- might sound delicious ... but in the lawsuit Pitbull claims it's just piggybacking off his name.
The other problem -- the Miami rapper endorses other liquor brands including Voli vodka which also promotes a Pitbull drink.
According to the suit, New Amsterdam's recipe is confusing the marketplace -- plus, Pitbull's name has been trademarked since 2000.
Pitbull is suing for all profits New Amsterdam makes off his name. He also wants "Pit Bull" removed from the company's website.
Drink responsibly. Or as Pitbull would put it ... drink Voli.
