Taylor Swift can leave a "Blank Space" on a check all she wants, but she still wouldn't be able to buy her perfect wedding date from another couple at her fave venue ... so says the venue itself.

12:11 PM PT -- A rep for Charlie tells TMZ ... "Brooke has been in and out of rehab for the past 15 years, while Charlie has had 100% custody of the kids, which is why she is not entitled to any child support."

Charlie Sheen's ex-wife Brooke Mueller is banging down his door, ready to collect on the huge bill -- about $15 million -- she claims he owes her for unpaid child support.

Brooke informed an L.A. County judge she wants Charlie to cough up the money ASAP. In docs filed Thursday, and obtained by TMZ, she says the ex "Two and a Half Men" star owes her $8,967,600 in child support plus another $6,418,643 in accrued interest.

And, the kicker ... mama wants it paid in full in 30 days!

Brooke explains Charlie was ordered to pay her $55,000 per month in child support in April 2010, and there were no issues until July 2011 ... when he started sending either partial payments or failed to make any payments at all. So, she wants the court to make him pay what she's rightfully owed, plus $25,000 in attorney fees and costs.

Katy Perry was seeking nearly $5 million in damages from a disabled veteran over a lengthy dispute centered on a property in Montecito, California ... and as of Wednesday, she won won $2.795 million, on top of $300K of the total she was asking for.

Perry's legal battle with Carl Westcott started back in 2020, when she and her ex-husband, Orlando Bloom, purchased an 8-bedroom estate for $15 million, the New York Post reports.

Westcott tried to back out of the sale just days after it took place, claiming he didn't have the mental capacity to understand the paperwork regarding the purchase. He said he was on pain medication after undergoing back surgery when he was presented with the documents, and he filed suit against Perry's business manager in August 2020.

The legal battle regarding the sale dragged out for several years, and Perry ultimately gained ownership of the property in 2024, when a judge ruled Westcott was capable of comprehending the paperwork centered on the sale. The case has since been bifurcated, according to People.

Perry's now demanding damages from Westcott, whom she says caused damages with the extended litigation over the sale of the property. Her side's saying she's entitled to over $3.5 million in lost rental value and just over $1.3 million for repairs to the property.

Westcott's team's saying Perry still owes him $6 million out of the $15 million purchase, as they're saying she's only paid $9 million to date. They'd bring the total down to $5.7 million to account for the cost of repairs.

Perry's requests came just a few months after she testified about the purchase via Zoom and said she was looking for what she described as "justice" after Westcott's lawyer asked her about the reason for the litigation.
