'Saved By The Bell' Star Pulls The Plug On Bizarre Vegas Marriage

Published | Updated

School's out on Lark Voorhies' short-lived marriage, the "Saved By The Bell" star has filed for divorce.

Lark married Jimmy Green in April in a Vegas ceremony after the couple met on Facebook just a year earlier. In the docs, she's asking the court to cut any chances of spousal support for Jimmy.

Jimmy tells TMZ his marriage to the 'SBTB' star has been a nightmare from the beginning and Lark's mom was a big part of their issues. He says the only reason Lark filed for divorce first was because he didn't know how to do it.

So you're saying Screech still has a chance?!

Donald Trump Hispanic Groups Demand NBC Pull Plug on 'SNL' Gig

Published | Updated

Several Hispanic advocacy groups are about to learn a hard lesson in advocacy ... don't waste your time during sweeps.

The National Hispanic Leadership Agenda is pissed at NBC for allowing Donald Trump to host "Saturday Night Live." They're going after NBC, saying, "We are appalled that you would enable Trump's hateful speech for nothing [more] than a ratings ploy and ask that you rescind the SNL invitation."

They got the ratings thing right. Trump is set to host November 7, smack in the middle of sweeps. NBC will almost surely get record-breaking ratings, which is a hard thing to give up.

On top of that, Trump and the network have settled their beef, and NBC is not going to resurrect the feud.

Lee Daniels & Terrence Howard 'Empire' Lawsuit is Bogus You're No Lucious Lyon!

Published | Updated

Lee Daniels and Terrence Howard say there's no way they ripped off the idea for "Empire," because the guy suing for a billion dollars couldn't hack it in the music biz.

Daniels and Howard are responding to the lawsuit filed by Ron Newt -- as TMZ first reported ... the self proclaimed "gangsta pimp" claims Empire is based on his life, and he pitched his autobiography to Howard years ago.

According to the docs, Daniels says Newt's unsuccessful effort to break into the music biz as "manager of his sons' teen bubble gum pop trio," is nothing like the successful Lyon family on "Empire."

Also ... they say Newt's story is so violent and sexually graphic, it could never have aired on network TV.

They want the suit dismissed, ASAP.
