'Number Four' Star -- GF Was Pissed Over Photo Shoot

Published | Updated

"I Am Number Four" star Alex Pettyfer's ex-GF split with him over a risque photo shoot he did with two half-naked models -- but here's the rub ... the shoot occurred MONTHS before they even started dating.

Sources close to the ex-couple tell TMZ, "Glee" star Dianna Agron ended the relationship soon after the pictures were released a couple weeks ago ... in which Alex appears barely clothed with models Lydia Hearst and Leven Rambin.

Problem is -- Alex and Dianna started dating last August ... and he shot the pics over a year ago ... back when he was a single man. Dianna's rep wouldn't comment on the story.

Kids these days.

Lindsay Lohan -- Up for a Role in New 'Superman'

Published | Updated

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... Lindsay Lohan?

Sources close to LiLo tell TMZ ... Lindsay's people have had multiple phone conversations within the last few weeks with the people behind the new "Superman" reboot. We're told Lindsay is up for a role in the flick -- and while it isn't Lois Lane, we hear it would be a "major character."

We're told Lindsay is supposed to meet personally with the "Superman" people soon -- but she might be a little busy with that felony grand theft charge thing.

According to our sources, Lindsay is "dying to show people again how talented she is" and is worried this latest run-in with the law (for which she maintains she's innocent) could ruin her shot at the movie.

Apparently that necklace she's accused of stealing is made out of kryptonite.

Reps for Warner Bros had no comment.

Michael Moore to Harvey Weinstein: You Screwed Me!

Published | Updated

Michael Moore claims movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and brother Robert cheated him out of millions of dollars in profits for the movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," by secretly diverting profits ... even using Michael's money to fly one of the Weinstein bros. to Europe by private jet.

In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court and obtained by TMZ, Moore's company, Westside Productions, claims Moore had a deal with the Weinsteins' company -- The Fellowship Adventure Group -- to split profits 50/50 for the flick.

In legal docs filed by Moore's celebrity lawyer, Larry Stein, he alleges the Weinsteins used "bogus accounting methods to hide the true amounts due Westside." Moore also claims the Weinsteins secretly diverted a fortune in profits to themselves.

"Fahrenheit 9/11" is the top-grossing documentary of all time, pulling in $222 million worldwide.

The lawsuit seeks in excess of $2.7 million.

UPDATE: Weinstein's lawyer, Bert Fields, tells TMZ, "Michael Moore has been paid over $20 million on this film. Under the contract he's not entitled to another dime. His claims are baloney and the timing is very suspicious."

John Travolta -- Junior Gotti Rats on Daddy

Published | Updated

John Travolta got the scoop on John Gotti during his Monday night powwow with the mafia boss' son -- we're told the conversation covered everything from Gotti's favorite food to his giant diamond watch.

According to inside sources, the dinner was very informal ... and rather than talking contracts for the upcoming biopic, Travolta prodded Junior for the nitty-gritty on Gotti's life.

We're told Junior Gotti talked about his dad's favorite things to order at restaurants -- the Italian classics, obviously -- but the most interesting talking point was his dad's diamond watch ... which the mob boss would wear so it would stick out prominently from his sleeve ... for all to see.

As we first reported, the sit-down at Amici restaurant in L.A. was a summit meeting to convince Travolta to play Gotti in the new movie -- the film's director Nick Cassavetes and producer Marc Fiore were also there.
