Fergie's fully owning the single life down in Brazil ... in a micro-mini outfit and no Josh Duhamel wedding ring.

Ferg touched down in Rio Wednesday, and tried to draw eyes away from her leggy leopard-print outfit and knee-high boots by holding up her left hand. She flaunted 4 rings spelling out F-E-R-G. Mind you, this was the day before she and Josh announced their separation.

As we reported, they split earlier this year, and say they took time to adjust before announcing it.

Fergie's down there to perform in the Rock in Rio music festival. Josh is back home with their son, Axl, and was seen Wednesday ... still wearing his wedding band.

Jesse Williams is basking in bachelorhood after settling his child custody feud with his estranged wife.

Paps spotted the actor Wednesday at a gas station in Los Feliz, where he was rockin' a free t-shirt -- literally. The rest of his outfit also says as much.

We broke the story ... Jesse struck a custody deal with his wife, Aryn Drake-Lee, where they'll both share joint legal custody over their 2 little ones ... with conditions, of course.

Jean-Claude Van Damme's youngest son got busted for allegedly holding his roommate at knifepoint ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... 21-year-old Nicholas Van Varenberg was arrested Sunday in Tempe, AZ. We're told cops got a call to check on him because he'd punched the elevator in his building. Cops say they found a trail of blood leading to his apartment, and after speaking to him and a roommate, discovered Nicholas injured his hand.

Officers left, but 20 minutes later, the roommate ran downstairs, claiming he'd escaped the apartment where Nicholas was holding him at knifepoint. He told officers Nicholas was pissed he'd opened the door for them.

Cops immediately searched the apartment, and say they found the knife and marijuana.

Anna Faris and Chris Pratt have clearly made their son a priority in their separation.

Anna spent Saturday with 5-year-old Jack. She took him to an L.A. carnival.

Sunday was Chris' turn. The two were spotted grabbing some ice cream.

The couple announced their split last month after 8 years of marriage. Neither has officially filed for divorce and there's always a chance they could get back together ... but they've both been out without their wedding rings, which is not a hopeful sign of reconciliation.

Eazy-E may be gone, but he's certainly not forgotten -- his daughter made sure of it by posing for a sexy photo shoot with a Chevy Impala on his birthday.

Ebie slapped on some lingerie and posed in front of the classic car her dad helped make more famous -- all to celebrate his Thursday birthday. Eazy would've been 53.

We're told Ebie did the shoot with legendary West Coast photog Mike Miller, who worked with her pops and other '90s rap stars.

Full disclosure: She posed with a '63 Impala, not a '64. And this'll blow your mind -- Eazy actually drove a '63 himself. Guess it just rhymed better.

Ebie's gone to bat for her deceased father before, so it's no surprise she was down to do something to remember his name yet again.

And remember we do ...

Prince George marched into his first day of kindergarten (they call it Primary School) Thursday like a boss -- or like a guy who's mingling with his subjects.

Prince William held lil Geo's hand as they walked into Thomas's Battersea -- a fancy private school near their Kensington Palace home. The likely future King of England displayed impeccable manners, naturally, as he met the headmistress.

Duchess Kate wasn't able to attend because she's stuck at home with severe morning sickness with her third pregnancy.

Today, kindergarten ... tomorrow, all of Great Britain.

Bust out the pink balloons -- 'cause Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are having a baby girl ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the pregnancy tell us the couple's surrogate is carrying a female bundle of joy.

We broke the stories ... the baby's due in late January by a surrogate Kim and Kanye hired for medical reasons. Kim's placenta accreta condition could kill her if she carries another baby to term.

This will be girl #9 in the Kardashian clan -- not including Kris herself -- and we've learned it bodes well for one of those ladies in particular.

We spoke with a notable child psychologist, who tells us North West and baby #3 will probably form a closer bond than Saint might with his new sis. And the reason's simple: sisters gravitate to their sisters. You don't gotta tell us ... or the Kardashians, either.

Kind of a bummer for Saint, though -- especially since Kim recently said North "does not like" him ... and doesn't seem to be getting past the meanie phase.

Oh well, girl power!

Jesse Williams and estranged wife Aryn Drake-Lee have reached an agreement in their divorce ... at least temporarily on the subject of custody of their 2 children ... and there's an indirect connection to Minka Kelly.

The warring couple will share joint legal custody ... which means all decisions made regarding the health, welfare and upbringing will be made between the 2 of them.

The agreement, obtained by TMZ, provides neither parent can make derogatory remarks about the other in front of the children. They also can't use the children as messengers.

And, the agreement provides that neither Jesse nor Aryn "shall introduce a person with whom he or she has a romantic relationship to the children until the relationship has endured at least 6 months."

The agreement does not break down the physical custody arrangement.

TMZ broke the story ... Jesse has been linked to Minka Kelly.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will expand their brood by 1 come Winter.

We're told baby #3 is due at the end of January.

TMZ broke the story, Kim and Kanye hired a surrogate because she has a medical condition -- placenta accreta -- that became extremely serious during her second pregnancy and we're told it could become life-threatening if she tried to carry another baby to term.

They paid $45k for the surrogate, who is prohibited from smoking, drinking or doing drugs during the pregnancy. Also, no hot tubs, hair dye and raw fish.

We're told so far, so good.

R&B singer Keke Wyatt was drowning in her tears as she revealed her husband's plans to drop her while 8 months pregnant ... after he allegedly cheated.

Keke, who once starred on "R&B Divas: Atlanta," posted her meltdown Tuesday. She and Michael Ford have been married since 2010. She says Michael decided he wanted out because of trust issues, but she's calling BS.

She says she's dealing with a lot -- besides being pregnant, she and Ford have another kid that's been in and out of the hospital fighting cancer. Now the divorce. They have 8 kids already, including one from Ford's previous relationship, plus the one they're expecting.

Hilary Duff celebrated Labor Day with her son at the beach, and buried any ill will for her ex-husband in the sand ... all in the name of co-parenting.

Hilary and her ex, Mike Comrie, spent Monday in Malibu with their 5-year-old son, Luca. Hil was rockin' her usual 2-piece in the water while Mike chilled onshore.

Getting together for some R&R with their kid is right up the former couple's alley, post-divorce. They went on a family vacay last year to Maui ... so Labor Day teamwork seems to be a walk in the park for them.

Levi Miller's star has been on the rise since he landed the lead role of Peter in "Pan" ... and so has the kid's bank account -- we just learned he's bankin' some serious cash for his new flick.

The 14-year-old actor scored at least $150,000 to play the role of Calvin in "A Wrinkle in Time" -- the Disney flick starring Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Mindy Kaling and Oprah due out in March.

Calvin's one of the main kid characters in the movie, and on top of the $150k ... Levi's got a shot to make $75k more in bonuses if "A Wrinkle in Time" does well. Based on the star power and the Disney name ... we'd say he's got a good chance.

And get this -- if the movie gets a sequel, Levi's salary will more than double ... and he'll cash in $700k if there's another sequel after that.

He's going to be able to buy a really awesome car when he can finally drive.

Lonnie Chavis, best known for playing little Randall on "This Is Us," could be making Floyd Mayweather money someday because little dude's only 9 and already raking in $1,000 a day.

In addition to his role on the hit NBC series, Lonnie got cast in a Disney flick called "Magic Camp" and a Showtime series called "White Famous."

According to his minor contract for "Magic Camp," Lonnie was guaranteed $14,368 for 14 days of work, and then $3,563 a week for any extra shooting, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

For "White Famous," which also stars 'SNL' alum Jay Pharoah, he's making $10k an episode, which usually take 10 days to shoot. The series got ordered for 9 episodes for the first season, so do the math and kid's almost covered college.

"Big Brother" contestant Jason Dent was way out of bounds when he joked about raping the wife of houseguest Kevin Schlehuber ... this according to Kevin's wife, who's deeply disturbed by Jason's remarks.

Kevin's wife, Deborah, tells TMZ ... Jason making those comments on the show's live feed, while laughing hysterically, is the worst thing she's ever seen. She says while her husband signed up for 'BB' and all that comes with it ... she and her kids didn't.

Deborah also calls BS on Jason's family's apology and claim that the jokes were taken out of context -- because it would never cross her husband's mind to say something so horrible.

Kevin and Deborah have 7 children together -- 6 of them girls -- and she works as a neonatal nurse in Boston. She says they're a nice, hardworking family and she's appalled her husband's season of "Big Brother" has turned so ugly ... mostly due to Jason.

Here's rap star Lil Uzi Vert proving his luv really is rage ... by beating the trash out of some dude in a private boxing sesh.

File Under: "Awww"

A young fan ran up to greet Lionel Messi as he was getting off Argentina soccer's team bus in Uruguay on Wednesday ... only to get snatched up and dragged away by a security guard.

Messi wasn't havin' none of that ... ordering the security team to run down the kid and bring him back for a quick meet-and-greet.

The boy looked SUPER sad when he got grabbed ... but was all smiles after meeting the FC Barcelona superstar.

In the end, the kid got his shot ... and Messi looked like a total hero (instead of a tax cheat).
