Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise's divorce could turn into a much bigger battle -- with Scientology at the center of the whole mess! We have details on Katie's concerns about Suri and Scientology ... and the legal reason she secretly filed the divorce in New York.

Plus, Charlie Sheen's "Anger Management" debut was nearly record-setting for F/X -- but there's one thing he might wanna change on his new show.

Also, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian go bare ... as in laser hair removal. Is a baby next? And Harvey's in major pain. Seriously -- but can he get just a little sympathy??

Charlie Sheen tells TMZ ... he did NOT throw a room-destroying rager inside the Ritz-Carlton in NYC this weekend ... he didn't even drink alcohol -- calling the partying rumors total "malarkey."

Charlie called in to "TMZ Live" moments ago to dispel the rumors once and for all -- claiming they're "so silly, without any merit or any foundational anything that resembles reality."

Charlie says he had no time in his schedule for anything other than press appearances this weekend -- promoting his new show "Anger Management" -- and he DEFINITELY didn't have time for alcohol-fueled benders. Charlie says the alcohol on his hotel bill wasn't even for him.

As for the new report Charlie "flipped out" on his daughters and bailed on the premiere for Denise Richard's new movie -- Charlie says that's not true either.

According to Charlie, he bailed on the premiere because his daughters didn't want to walk the red carpet -- and the last thing Charlie wanted was to appear in photos alone with Denise, who divorced him in 2006.
