Director Eli Roth Files For Divorce
7/17-- According to the docs, Eli lists the couple's date of separation as July 12 of this year. He's willing to pay Lorenza spousal support.
Eli Roth and his wife are calling it quits on their marriage ... the "Hostel" director just filed for divorce.
Roth submitted docs in L.A. Monday -- obtained by TMZ -- to end things with Lorenza Izzo. The two got hitched back in 2014 and never had any children together. Izzo is a Chilean model and horror film actress, best known for co-starring with Keanu Reeves in "Knock Knock."
She's also in the upcoming, "The House with a Clock in Its Walls" ... which Eli directed. Of course, he's also known for his horror flicks and co-starring in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds."
It's unclear exactly what led to Roth's filing.
Roth posted about the split Monday evening, saying, "It is with deep love and respect that we are choosing to separate as a couple. We've had an incredible journey together, we love each other very much, and will remain the best of friends."

LeSean McCoy Ex-GF Moves Out of Georgia Home ... After Violent Robbery
LeSean McCoy's girlfriend wants no part of the NFL star's home anymore -- she's already moved out ... less than a week after she was pistol whipped in a violent robbery.
TMZ Sports has obtained photos showing moving trucks in front of the home in Alpharetta, Georgia ... where Delicia Cordon says she was attacked by a masked man on July 10.
Sources connected to Cordon tell us she's moved to a home she considers safer -- complete with private security.
As we previously reported, Cordon has lawyered up and strongly insinuated McCoy sent the assailant to her home to recover jewelry the NFL star had previously gifted to her.
For his part, McCoy has not been charged with a crime -- and has denied any involvement in the incident. He has also called the allegations against him "baseless and offensive."

Theresa Caputo's estranged husband, Larry Caputo, is getting cozy with a woman he, ironically, met through "Long Island Medium" ... and yet no one saw it coming.
Sources close to the 'LIM' star tell TMZ Larry has been seeing 53-year-old Connie Stauddy of Decatur, Alabama. We're told they met online when Connie reached out to get a reading from Theresa. They stayed in touch, and have been talking long distance for a few months now.
We're told they're not quite an exclusive couple just yet ... the relationship is very new. We broke the story ... Larry was spotted out shopping with Connie in 'Bama this weekend, picking up some home essentials and perusing the furniture section.
Interestingly enough ... sources say Connie is going through a divorce of her own, so she and Larry have a lot in common right now.
There's not much else we know about Larry's new gal, other than she has a couple of cute grandkids she's really proud of. She's also pretty hot for a 53-year-old ... good pick, Lar.

Hey fellas, wanna make Tinashe laugh? Well, all you gotta do is remind her that 6'10" NBA star Ben Simmons is so scared of her that he's hiring extra security, because she thinks that's REALLY funny.
We broke the story ... sources close to Ben say he believes Tinashe is despondent about their breakup, and popping up at Hollywood nightspots he hits with new GF Kendall Jenner.
Tinashe was out at Delilah Thursday night (Ben was not inside ... that we know of) when we asked her what she thinks about his concerns and, with the laughs he got, our guy might as well have been Dave Chappelle.
We won't take sides in the drama surrounding these crazy kids, but we will say this ... making Tinashe smile is a victory ... a BIG ONE.

LeSean McCoy Called Cops On GF In 2017 ... Over Jewelry Dispute
LeSean McCoy called police on Delicia Cordon in July 2017 after an argument over jewelry -- with the NFL star claiming she refused to return several high-end items she had borrowed.
It's all in police reports obtained by TMZ Sports ... which show cops responded to at least 3 incidents at their Georgia home over the past year.
But the most interesting incident took place on July 3, 2017 -- when the NFL star called the Milton Police Dept. to the home after a "domestic dispute" with Cordon.
When cops arrived, they saw McCoy standing in front of a large mound of D's clothes -- and he explained that they had been having issues and had broken up after she accused him of cheating on her.
Then McCoy brought up the issue of jewelry. Here's the quote from the police incident report.
"He went on to advise us that jewelers often times loan them high end jewelry items to wear for events. He stated that Cordon had some of these jewelry items and had not returned them."
"He stated that he has asked her multiple times for them but she has not yet returned them."
According to the police report, McCoy expressed serious concern that Cordon might make false accusations about him.
"He stated that he was trying to be very careful about being around her given the climate of domestic abuse in his profession."
Cops eventually spoke to Cordon. At the time, neither party made any allegations of physical abuse.
The case could be relevant since Cordon claims the assailant who broke into her home and pistol whipped her on July 10, 2018 demanded specific items of jewelry. Cordon told police she believed McCoy was behind the attack.
As for the 2 other police calls to the house, Cordon called cops over a heated argument with McCoy on April 11. And again on June 1, when McCoy's mother came to the home with a crew of people to try to remove property from the house without Cordon's consent.

Johnny Depp Amber Heard Knuckle Tat Changes Again, From SCUM to SCAM
Johnny Depp is throwing out all the rules on exes and tattoos, 'cause he's changed his Amber Heard-inspired knuckle ink yet again ... and added a dash of chaos.
Fellow Hollywood Vampires bandmember Tommy Henriksen posted a photo of Depp's infamous tat last week, showing the actor's changed his previously reworked SLIM-to-SCUM message to now read SCAM. He used the anarchy symbol for the 'A.'
What's kinda creepy about it is, the tat is still fresh and the scarring makes the red ink seem like a scab. You'll recall ... Johnny already changed the OG tat -- which initially read SLIM (his old nickname for Amber) -- to SCUM in the wake of their divorce.
Anyway, it's clear Johnny's still willing to bleed over Amber -- and over his art too.
Ya gotta be committed to something to treat your body like a live, ever-changing Etch A Sketch.

Drake Cheering On Serena At Wimbledon ... Exes Can Be Friends!!
Drake is teaching the world a valuable lesson from a courtside seat at Serena Williams' Wimbledon match Tuesday ... exes don't have to hate each other!!
The "In My Feelings" rapper was all about cheering on his former flame during her tilt with Camila Giorgi in the Wimbledon quarterfinal.

Remember ... the two had a huge thing back in 2015 -- there were even engagement rumors!! -- but it fizzled.
Now ... Serena's happily married to Alexis Ohanian -- and Drake seems cool with that ... at least, as long as the sweet seats to see greatness are still in play.

Selena Gomez Not Talking Bieber Just Girl Talk
Here's the reality ... Selena Gomez will be asked A LOT about Justin Bieber's engagement to Hailey Baldwin, but she's all warmed up and ready to respond ... with a cold shoulder.
Photogs caught Bieber's ex Monday evening in NYC, and a pap asked if she had any comment on his weekend proposal to Hailey. That, or well-wishes ... either way.
More reality ... everyone, especially Beliebers, will judge a lot based on Selena's words -- or even just her facial reactions. So, go ahead and judge away.
She doesn't have much to say to photogs, but she does look preoccupied by her convo with a pal.
Hard to make out what they're saying, but also hard to imagine the words ... Justin, Hailey or "that ring" ... haven't come up once or twice.

Ben Simmons Tinashe Won't Leave Me & Kendall Alone ... I Need More Security
Ben Simmons believes his ex, Tinashe, has been tailing him and showing up at the same places he parties with gf Kendall Jenner ... and it's gotten so bad he's seriously thinking of significantly beefing up security.
Sources close to Simmons tell us ... Tinashe's been suspiciously popping up regularly at places he goes with Kendall ... way past the point of coincidence. You'll remember, the singer showed up at Delilah Thursday, and a couple weeks prior she surfaced at Poppy in WeHo when Ben was there.
We're told Ben is convinced Tinashe cannot accept the fact he ended their relationship and has moved on with Kendall. He believes she's showing up to keep tabs on him so she can see if there's a chink in the armor between him and Kendall.
Our sources say Ben thinks she's become so obsessive he doesn't want to take chances ... especially because of Kendall, and that's why he's talking about hiring extra muscle.
Tinashe claimed Ben was texting her as she left Delilah Thursday night but, as we reported, she apologized to him the next day and acknowledged she lied.

Selena Gomez Yeah, Justin's Engaged Big Whoop ... I'm on a Boat, Bitch!!!
Selena Gomez seems to be taking the news her on-again-off-again ex, Justin Bieber, is engaged to Hailey Baldwin quite well. And why not? She's living her best life ... on a boat.
Selena surfaced Sunday in a friend's social media post, where she's seen in a bikini and in open waters near NYC. She's all smiles too ... no signs of distress after the Biebs got on bended knee for another woman, despite so much history with the dude herself.
She hasn't been spotted cozying up with anyone as of late, so it's possible Selena's enjoying some solo personal time post-Bieber ... and post-Weeknd, too. Good on her.

TMZ broke the story ... Justin proposed to Hailey Saturday night during their trip to the Bahamas. His security team made onlookers put away their phones before he popped the question ... and she said yes.
Remember ... Justin and Selena were together at Jeremy Bieber's wedding in Jamaica this past February, where the then-couple couldn't keep their hands off each other.
Guess the marriage bug bit JB harder than it did SG. To each their own, we suppose ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Tiffany Haddish to Ex-Husband You Didn't Say the Magic Words ... Your Lawsuit's Full of Holes
Tiffany Haddish is taking her ex-husband to school -- law school, no less -- telling him why his defamation lawsuit against her is doomed ... TMZ has learned.
Tiffany's responding to William Stewart's lawsuit claiming she lied about him in her book, "The Last Black Unicorn" ... particularly when she accused him of domestic abuse. In new docs, filed Friday in L.A., Tiff does a bit of legal gloating, ya might say.
She, and more likely her lawyer, point out Stewart failed to ask her to "clarify, correct or retract" the statements in the book with which he takes issue BEFORE filing his lawsuit. According to the docs, that's required by law.
Tiff admits he reached out to express some concerns about the book, but says he never specified what he wanted changed.
Translation: Nah nah nah nah nah, you screwed up your lawsuit!!
This doesn't mean Stewart's case is going away, but it would slow things down dramatically because he'd have to file additional papers before the lawsuit can go forward.

Jesse Williams I Want a Do-Over, Judge!!! $50k/Month Child Support is Just Wrong
Jesse Williams is going to request a new trial in his child support case ... less than a month after he was ordered to start paying $50k per month.
The "Grey's Anatomy" star filed docs Friday telling the court he intends to seek a modification of his child support. In the docs, he says he thinks the judge got it wrong when arriving at the $50k figure. Jesse believes there's insufficient evidence to support that amount.
TMZ broke the story ... Jesse's currently paying his ex, Aryn Drake-Lee, a total of $100k per month. The other $50k is for spousal support.
According to the docs, Jesse firmly believes he's the victim of an "error in law" ... and he's hoping a second bite of the apple will correct it.

EXCLUSIVE

Ben Simmons wasn't texting Tinashe while partying with Kendall Jenner, despite what the singer told photogs ... TMZ has learned.
Ben, Kendall and Tinashe were all at Delilah in West Hollywood Thursday. Ben and Kendall left together, and Tinashe took off with some friends. Our photog asked Tinashe if she and Ben exchanged greetings inside the club and the singer took it one step further, claiming Ben was texting her.
Sources close to Ben tell us Tinashe's texting claim was a flat-out lie. We're told Ben called Tinashe out after seeing our video Friday morning, she admitted she made it up and created unnecessary tension.
We're told Ben and Tinashe only dated briefly, and are very much over -- while he and Kendall continue to grow closer. Seems one of the 3 is having trouble letting go.

Future Waited to Drop Mixtape For Drake ... Not Ciara & Russell
The release of Future's new mixtape isn't a jab at baby mama Ciara ... in fact, it's a courtesy move to fellow rapper Drake.
Future dropped his surprise project, "BEASTMODE2," Friday, which also happens to be the same day as Ciara and Russell Wilson's second wedding anniversary. Fans were quick to make a connection between the two events ... and pondered if Future picked the date on purpose.
Sources close to the rapper tell us there was no ill will or planned attack in the mixtape's release. In fact -- it was originally supposed to drop on July 4 -- but Future felt that date was too close to Drake's release of "Scorpion" so he didn't want to compete or mess with Drake's numbers. The two have a long history together -- they've been on tour together and collaborated on an album.
As for Ciara and Russell ... we're told Future's never kept up with their relationship and didn't connect the dots to the special date.

Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons Three's Company ... Guest Starring Tinashe
Kendall Jenner and boyfriend Ben Simmons showed up to the same club as his ex, Tinashe, and things had to have been weird for everyone, although Tinashe brushed it off like a pro.
All three hung out at Delilah Thursday night in WeHo, but no one stayed out too late, which should be a sign things likely were awkward inside.
We got Kendall and Ben leaving the club first. After they leave, Tinashe follows and gets into her own car only a few minutes behind.
Then came the real shocker -- we ask if she and Ben are getting along, and Tinashe held up her phone. She says Ben was texting her WHILE he was in the club ... presumably right next to Kendall.
The ex strikes back??
