Diane Kruger & Joshua Jackson Good Spirits After Breakup
Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson are either doing the conscious uncoupling thing or they're on the road to rekindling their relationship.
The exes looked deep in convo Monday leaving a liquor store in West Hollywood. They were together for a decade before calling things off last month.
Joshua's brown bagging it, so if you're a glass half full person ... they're about to pop the cork and chat over a bottle. Half empty folks will say he's drinking alone, and Diane's just keeping things friendly.
Either way ... bottoms up!

'LHHA' Stevie J Hey Judge ... Joseline's a Lying Liar who Lies
Stevie J says Joseline Hernandez's life is all a lie -- right down to her age -- but the fibs weren't enough to convince a judge to issue a restraining order against her.
Stevie came out firing with juicy details about his "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" ex ... hoping they'd persuade a judge to extend a restraining order he got last month.
In his docs Stevie points out Joseline's real name is Shenellica Juneann Bettencourt ... she's 39 years old (not 29) ... isn't even from Puerto Rico ... might STILL be married to someone else ... and the baby in her belly probably isn't his.
The "newly discovered facts" fell flat ... because none of it had anything to do with the price of beans, or in this case granting a restraining order.

Mel Gibson Baby Mama Oksana Grigorieva Loose Lips Cost Her a Bundle
Mel Gibson's baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva, just got word from a California appeals court ... she made one of the worst business decisions in the history of business ... because they just ruled she's only entitled to 1/60 of what she could have gotten from him had she just shut her trap.
The California Court of Appeals just dropped the hammer, saying Oksana screwed herself when she went on Howard Stern in 2013 and claimed domestic abuse at the hands of Gibson. The actor was on the hook for $750,000 -- a settlement he had struck with her -- but had only shelled out $250,000.
The agreement said she would forfeit the balance if she blabbed about her allegations, and the court said that's exactly what she did when she went on Stern. So, Mel does not have to pay the $500k balance.
Mind you ... Mel had agreed to pay Oksana $15 million if she kept those horrible audiotapes secret, but she changed her mind thinking she could get even more and disavowed the deal. Instead of $15 mil, she eventually struck a deal for $750k ... and that has now been whittled down to $250k.
Maybe she's just bad at math.

Kyrie Irving & Kehlani Hug It Out in Chicago But We're 'Just Friends'
Interesting situation in Chicago ... with Kyrie Irving hugging it out with his ex-girlfriend, Kehlani ... the first time they've been seen together in months.
It all went down Friday night -- the two met up where Kehlani was staying and spent some quality time together. They were smiling, hugging and acting friendly.
Kyrie and Kehlani broke up back in March -- and she rebounded with her singer ex-boyfriend, PartyNextDoor.
Pissed off fans accused Kehlani of cheating on Kyrie (which she denied) -- but she was so distraught, she tried to kill herself. At the time, Kyrie defended Kehlani.
But the situation in Chicago is not a complete romantic reconciliation -- a rep for Kehlani tells TMZ Sports, "They are only friends, not back together."
"Things ended bad and they hadn't had an opportunity to see each other ... and they wanted to meet up face to face and make peace."
And from what we're told ... mission accomplished.

Chris Brown & Karrueche Tran Run-In at Kylie's Party ... NOT Good Times
Chris Brown and his ex, Karrueche Tran, both showed up at Kylie Jenner's birthday party, and judging by the look on Karrueche's face ... it will be a looong time before it happens again.
We got video of Chris showing up with Scott Disick and cruising into the party. Everyone seemed happy.
The exit shot ... not so much. Karrueche walked out with girlfriends and when we asked how it was hanging out with Chris -- well ... you really just have to see her facial expression. Kinda says it all.
Karrueche dumped Chris more than a year ago after finding out he'd knocked up Nia Guzman.
Time doesn't necessarily heal all.

Tennis Legend Chris Evert Menopause Ruined My Marriage
Tennis great Chris Evert says menopause is at least partly to blame for the demise of her marriage to Olympian Andy Mill ... insinuating the hormonal change had a major impact on the relationship.
61-year-old Evert opened up about the situation on Lance Armstrong's "The Forward Podcast" -- when the two were talking about the positive relationships they have with their exes ... including Mill.
FYI, Evert and Mill had 3 kids together before they divorced in 2006. Two years later, she married Andy's friend, Greg Norman (the golfer). They broke up 15 months after that.
"[Andy and I] had a rough couple of years," Evert said ... "because I married Greg Norman who was Andy’s friend, and that was … I don’t know, I was going through menopausal stuff."
Evert didn't expand on exactly how menopause affected the relationship -- but said the condition ("what women go through at 50ish") doesn't get talked about enough.
According to the WebMD, menopause can cause major psychological symptoms in women -- including anxiety, irritability, mood changes, feelings of sadness and aggressiveness.
The good news for Evert -- she says she's on great terms with Mill and considers him family.

Jeremy Renner's Ex-Wife He's Stiffing Me On Preschool Tuition
Jeremy Renner's a deadbeat dad who refuses to pay for preschool and catch up on child support ... or so claims his ex-wife.
Sonni Pacheco says Jeremy time and again refuses to pay his half of the $1,600 monthly preschool tuition for their 3-year-old daughter, Ava. In new docs, obtained by TMZ, Sonni also says Renner's fallen behind on child support to the tune of $48,367.
As we reported ... Jeremy and Sonni struck a deal last year for Jeremy to pay $13k a month in child support as part of their divorce settlement -- and he seems to think that should be more than enough dough.
Sonni's docs include a text exchange where Jeremy says, "I'm not sure why you keep coming after more money here Sonni. I don't have the cash to give you. I'm sorry you can't figure out how to care for [Ava] with over 300k."
She's asking the court to make Renner pay for all of Ava's schooling, and all of the back child support.

Robin Thicke, Paula Patton Loaning Stuff to Your Ex is Risky Business
Robin Thicke and Paula Patton both just learned a lesson about divorce ... don't loan and don't borrow your ex's car, because it can cost you dearly.
We're told Paula got pulled over a few days ago by the CHP for speeding and an unsafe lane change. Deputies quickly noticed the registration on the Range Rover had expired.
Now the problems. It's not Paula's Range Rover. It's Robin's. Apparently he loans it to her from time to time. We're told Robin's people just forgot to write the DMV check.
Now here's the lesson for everyone. From Paula's point of view, she's rolling the dice when she drive's someone else's car ... all sorts of things could go wrong, including a traffic stop because the owner didn't pay the piper.
What Robin did is even dicier. If Paula's erratic driving resulted in an accident, Robin would be on the hook if the victim decided to sue.
Short story ... Keep separate property separate, pay your bills, and obey the speed limit.

Calvin Harris Yes, Taylor Wrote Lyrics But I'm Not Gonna Be Her Doormat!
Calvin Harris is taking the gloves off and lighting up Taylor Swift over his/her hit song, "This Is What You Came For."
Calvin reacted to TMZ's story -- that Taylor wrote the lyrics and recorded a demo of the song, which Calvin used to produce the final edit ... with Rihanna singing.
He started with a compliment, saying Taylor is an "Amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual." But then came his true feelings -- "I wrote the music, produced the song, arranged it and cut the vocals though. And initially she wanted it kept secret."
During the Twitter rant, he also said it was "hurtful" that Taylor and co. are trying to make him look bad -- and suggested she focus on her new relationship, instead of attacking him.
And then the coup de grace -- a reference to (and confirmation of) her most famous beef. Before him.
I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy ETC but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it

Somewhere Taylor Swift is writing a song.
12:00 PM PT -- Katy Perry just responded in epic fashion ... clearly showing where she stands on the situation.

Taylor Swift Secretly Wrote 'This is What You Came For' And Calvin 'Disrespected' Her
Taylor Swift really is the creative brains behind Calvin Harris' monster hit "This is What You Came For," and their relationship fell apart because he disrespected her when the song was released ... this according to sources connected with Taylor.
It's a fascinating story. We've learned an early fan rumor about the song is true, but to a deeper extent than anyone suspected. During their relationship, Taylor wrote the song, sat down at a piano and did a demo into her iPhone. She sent it to Calvin, who loved it. They both went into a studio and did a full demo with Taylor on vocals and Calvin doing the beat.
They both knew the song would be a hit, but Taylor wrote it for Calvin and both agreed it was a bad idea to let the world know they collaborated as a couple ... it would overshadow the song.
So Taylor, who kept the publishing rights, used the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg on the credits.
Fast forward to April 29th. Calvin released the song with Rihanna and it became an instant hit. It's been at #1 or #2 on the Dance/Electronic chart for 9 weeks, and is #5 on the Billboard 100.
The problem in the relationship came the day the song was released. Calvin appeared on Ryan Seacrest's radio show and Ryan asked, "Will you do a collaboration with your girlfriend?" Calvin responded, "You know we haven't even spoken about it. I can't see it happening though."
We're told Taylor was hurt and felt Calvin took it too far.
It was a quick downward spiral from that point. One source called it "the breaking point in the relationship." The Met Gala was several days later, when Taylor danced with Tom Hiddleston.
BTW ... Taylor has the right to prohibit Calvin from performing the song, but she hasn't and doesn't plan to exercise that right. Ironically, Calvin once wrote a song with then-GF Rita Ora and when they broke up he yanked her right to perform it.
As for why the squad is talking now ... we're told they're sick of Calvin trashing Taylor and feel he should be thanking her for quietly giving him a smash hit.
We reached out to Taylor's rep. So far no word back.
