Michael Lohan Cleared of Criminal Child Abuse Kate's Allegations Unsupported
Cops have cleared Michael Lohan of criminal child abuse, despite Kate Major's assertion he struck one of their kids.
Kate told child services Michael choked her on Oct 11 during an argument and slapped their son in the face.
Kate showed cops a video she shot during the argument ... according to the police report, the video did not prove Kate's assertion that Michael struck their son. We're told Michael also played audio for cops in which Kate acknowledged he never struck their kid.
TMZ broke the story ... the kids were taken by child services because of the hostile environment they were living in with Michael and Kate ... and the bitter arguing in the video helped prove the point.
Cops were called again to Kate's house just a few days later on Nov 2 after she said Michael came banging on her door. You can hear from the 911 call ... it seems Kate was scared for her life.
Michael's mother currently has custody over the couple's 10-month-old and 2-year-old after a judge's ruling on Tuesday.

Michael Lohan, Kate Major Children's Services Take Kids
Michael Lohan and Kate Major had their kids taken away last week ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the situation tell us, the Florida Dept. of Children and Families (DCF) sent social workers to Kate's apartment in Boca Raton Wednesday after obtaining a video of some sort of extreme argument Michael and Kate were having in front of 2-year-old Landon and 10-month-old Logan.
We're told DCF told Kate they were taking the kids temporarily until a responsible family member could take temporary custody. We're told the kids were put in foster care overnight.
Our sources say Michael's mother flew from Long Island immediately and the kids were taken to Michael's home Thursday under the guardianship of grandma.
We're told Michael and Kate can both see the kids, but only in grandma's presence.
It doesn't sound all that peaceful ... we're told 911 was called to Kate's apartment after Kate claimed Michael was banging on her door.
There's a hearing scheduled Tuesday in family court to go over the video and the plan.
4:09 PM PT -- Michael tells TMZ Kate came over to his house last Wednesday when Michael wasn't there. When he came home with the kids, he thought she had been drinking so he told her to leave and she did. He says the reason DCF took the kids was because Kate wasn't supposed to have the kids without a monitor and they felt that he didn't protect the kids from her. He does not address the video.

Kanye Vs. Jay Z 2 Rappers, 2 Riders Who's The Bigger Diva?
Kanye and Jay Z are arguably two of the most talented rappers in the game ... but they're also the neediest -- at least, according to the laundry list of their hotel concert demands.
THE SUITE:
Jay Z insists on 71 degree temp. Hotel staff must provide 3 $80 Mayan tuberose-scented candles.
Jay has two no-no's for staff: 1) No vacuuming near his room 2) Don't ask for concert tickets if you want to "avoid embarrassment."
Kanye has specific geometric preferences. Vases must be cylindrical. He also requires staff to hunt down a Genelecs 1031a speaker ... which was discontinued a decade ago. He likes his floss minty, his cereal Kashi Go Lean and his towels black.
THE BOOZE:
Kanye has a grocery list ... 13 bottles totaling around $3,200, including 3 bottles of Paradis Hennessy.
Jay Z is more chill in the liquor dept. ... just Ace of Spades champagne. But here's the rub ... the contract says he cannot be charged, since he owns the company.
THE KID CLAUSE:
Kanye has no provides for Nori. But Jay has lots of Blue Ivy demands. For starters, the entire suite must be childproofed with all corners, sharp edges, and electrical outlets all covered, and statues, lamps, and breakable objects removed. Oh, Blue only drinks organic whole milk.

Olivier Martinez I Will Not Start a Custody War with Halle
Olivier Martinez will not wage a custody war with Halle Berry, sources connected with the couple tell TMZ ... because he does not want to go through with the savagery he witnessed between Halle and Gabriel Aubry.
We're told Olivier was horrified by the bitterness between Halle and Gabriel, and the toll it took on their daughter Nahla. He's satisfied with joint custody of their 2-year-old son, Maceo, and we're told Halle is also down with that.
We're also told Olivier has no intention of moving to France and starting a Kelly Rutherford/Daniel Giersch type international war.
It's lucky for Halle, because she wanted to move Nahla to France, and tried unsuccessfully to convince a judge it was a better place to raise kids than the U.S.

Halle Berry Files for Divorce From Olivier ... AGAIN!!!
Halle Berry is done playing court games ... she's filed for divorce for a second time this week, and this time around she used real names, not aliases.
TMZ obtained a copy of the new docs, filed Wednesday. Halle lists her real name and Olivier Martinez's as well. You'll recall, TMZ broke the story Halle filed her first divorce petition Monday using the alias Hal Maria.
She also gives her son's real name -- Maceo. In the first petition, she listed him as Mac Martin.
The specifics in the document are identical to Monday's filing ... she's asking for custody based on the "best interests" of 2-year-old Maceo.
There's a prenup that keeps all of her money separate from his, and vice versa.
As we reported, Olivier filed his own divorce petition Tuesday, so now Halle has made it clear she wants to be the petitioner and NOT him. So a fight seems to be brewing.
