Nikki Reed Files for Divorce from Paul McDonald
"Twilight" star Nikki Reed has filed for divorce from former "American Idol" contestant Paul McDonald ... TMZ has learned.
In the divorce docs, obtained by TMZ, Reed cites irreconcilable differences. She's also asking the court to deny McDonald spousal support. It was the first marriage for both. The couple had no kids together.
Reed and McDonald announced they were splitting back in March ... and revealed they'd already been living apart for 6 months.
Interestingly, even though several reports had the couple getting married in October 2011 -- in the docs their marriage date is July 14, 2011.
Despite the split, Nikki and Paul have continued working on an album together. Not weird at all.

EXCLUSIVE

Sam Jones has been on his best behavior since he was let out of prison in 2012, so much so that a judge cut his probation short so he could go work on a new movie ... TMZ has learned.
As TMZ first reported, Jones was released from federal prison after serving 10 months following a guilty plea to conspiracy to sell more than 10,000 Oxycodone pills.
Jones was offered a role in the movie version of his show "Blue Mountain State." Problem was ... the movie was shot in Montreal, and Jones couldn't enter Canada while on probation.
He wrote to the court, "I really need this freedom to practice my craft again. It's been a rough road, coming back. But I'm almost there ... I need to work on this 'Blue Mountain State' movie. I need to work as an actor again."
The judge was merciful and ended Jones' probation early ... complimenting the actor for helping young people and the homeless.
If Jones wins an Oscar, he should thank the judge before his agent.

'Glee' Star Lawsuit I Was Swindled in Hollywood!
"Glee" actor Josh Sussman says he was taken for nearly $30K ... when he tried to make a movie with a phantom production company.

Elizabeth Banks Sued For 'Walk of Shame' You Jacked My Whole Movie
Elizabeth Banks may be taking her own walk of shame -- into a federal courthouse, that is -- 'cause she just got sued for allegedly ripping off a script for her latest movie, "Walk of Shame."
Dan Rosen claims he pitched the idea for a movie called "Darci's Walk of Shame" to Banks and her producer husband Max Handelman during a 3-hour meeting in 2007.
According to the lawsuit, after Rosen gave Banks and Handleman his script ... he never heard from them again.
Rosen says there are too many similarities between Banks' movie -- which came out May 2 -- and his story to be coincidental.
He says both works share similar characters and plot -- both are about a pretty blonde in her 30s who goes through a breakup, gets drunk and has a one-night stand with a younger man, then has to get to an important event wearing an inappropriate outfit from the night before.
In other words ... it's like every other rom-com script in Hollywood.
Rosen is suing for at least $500k ... PLUS all the profits from the movie.

Bryan Singer Lawyer Vows to Sue Accuser's Lawyer You're a Fame Whore!
The lawyer repping the 2 clients who have accused "X-Men" director Bryan Singer of sexual molestation is a disgraced, shameless fame whore who is concocting phony lawsuits so he can get in the movies ... so claims Singer's lawyer.
Legal pit bull Marty Singer has sent attorney Jeff Herman a scathing letter -- obtained by TMZ -- warning him he is going to be sued for maliciously attempting to destroy Singer's reputation and life.
Singer says both cases are baseless -- claiming the allegation by Michael Egan that the director molested him in Hawaii is absurd, because Singer wasn't even in the state during the time in question. And Singer says the allegation involving another boy -- that Singer molested him in England when he was 16 is not only false, but the age of consent in that country is 16.
Singer says Herman didn't want the facts to get in the way of his lawsuits because it would deprive him of his "moment in the spotlight."
Singers writes ... Herman was suspended by the Florida bar for "dishonesty and deceit" and these lawsuits are an attempt "to revive your career after being so publicly and embarrassingly suspended."
And Singer says ... Herman is preening for the media both to make money and "to obtain an entree into a documentary film that we understand you are seeking to promote and in which you want to be featured."
Singer is demanding that Herman immediately drop the lawsuits ... or else.

Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson parading around in bikinis did absolutely NOTHING for one man ... who claims he got swindled big-time by producers of the movie "Spring Breakers."
In a lawsuit, Wicks Walker says he put up $700K for the film, and was told producers needed his money immediately or they would lose their stars -- namely James Franco, Gomez and Hudgens
In the docs, Walker claims it's doubtful the flick would've been made without his cash.
But Walker says he hasn't seen a dime of the profits ... even though the movie has taken in just over $14 mil in the U.S. Walker claims the producers siphoned off money that should have been returned to investors ... and used it to line their own pockets.
Walker did get an "Executive Producer" credit -- as well as a $483K tax credit -- but is now suing for nearly $1.4 million of the profits.
