Kevin Costner's ex-wife may have screwed herself in their epic divorce, all because she listed everything under the sun as an expense she'd need covered in almost a quarter of a million dollars in monthly child support ... even though her final amount ended up being far, far less.

TMZ has a new documentary about this uncoupling -- one of the most acrimonious we've seen in a long time here in Hollywood -- and a particular element about the proceeding that was fascinating is the fact that Christine shot for the moon in what she was seeking at first.

Of course, we're referring to the $248k in monthly child support she wanted from Kevin -- an astronomical amount that she justified with an absurd list of expenses she said she needed.

Among those costs she said she needed covered ... cosmetic surgeries, and other luxuries -- like boutique shopping, massive ATM withdrawals, and sky-high attorney's fees.

In the end ... a judge gave her a fraction of what she wanted -- even though Kevin offered her more than she ended up getting.

We talked to lots of folks in the know about celebrity divorces to see why they thought Christine swung for the fences ... and we got some interesting insights. Turns out there's really no such thing as an iron-clad prenup.

The doc gets into all of this and more -- "TMZ Investigates: Kevin Costner's Divorce War" is a deep dive into the nasty split, examining how it devolved into a war over money, cheating allegations, and entitlement.

La ex esposa de Kevin Costner puede haberse jodido a sí misma épicamente en su proceso de divorcio, y todo por haber enumerado prácticamente todo lo que existe sobre la tierra como un gasto necesario en su manutención, fijada en casi un cuarto de millón de dólares mensuales. Al final, terminó recibiendo mucho, mucho menos.

TMZ tiene un nuevo documental sobre este polémico divorcio, uno de los más enconados que hemos visto en mucho tiempo en Hollywood y algo particularmente fascinante es que Christine estaba disparando a la luna con lo que estaba pidiendo en un primer momento.

Por supuesto, nos estamos refiriendo a los $248k en manutención mensual que ella quería de Kevin, una cantidad astronómica que ella justificó con una lista absurda de gastos que dijo necesitar.

Entre ellos había cirugías estéticas y otros lujos, como compras en tiendas boutique, grandes retiros de cajeros automáticos y los exorbitantes honorarios de su abogado.

Al final un juez le dio una fracción de lo que quería, a pesar de que Kevin le había ofrecido más de lo que terminó recibiendo.

Hablamos con un montón de gente experta en divorcios de celebridades para entender por qué Christine habría actuado de esa manera, y nos dieron algunas ideas interesantes, como que no hay tal cosa como un acuerdo prenupcial blindado.

Nuestro nuevo documental "TMZ Investiga: Kevin Costner's Divorce War" se sumerge profundamente en la desagradable separación de las celebridades, examinando cómo se convirtió en una guerra por el dinero y acusaciones de engaño.

We finished the week strong at TMZ -- and the same goes for the topics we covered on TV.

Starting out with 'TMZ Live,' Harvey and Charles continued to discuss the fallout from the Kansas City shooting at the victory rally Wednesday ... particularly as it pertains to Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, who've been catching some flak for what they did afterward.

Of course, we're referring to the dinner party they attended hours after the shooting -- which we're learning more about even now ... and yes, it did look quite celebratory in nature.

On 'TMZ on TV,' the gang dove into Kim K's new list of qualifications for a potential long-term partner -- and from the sounds of it, pearly whites (among other things) are pretty important.

Finally, on 'TMZ Sports' ... Mike and Mojo discussed Jayden Daniels and where his Heisman currently is.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. knows a happy wife makes for a happy life ... and that's why he has no desire to be Donald Trump's running mate.

RFK Jr. and his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, joined us on Friday's "TMZ Live," and we asked the presidential candidate why he wouldn't be down with a potential Trump pairing.

Cheryl jumped in and told us her husband knows that wouldn't make her very happy ... and he smiled and laughed as he sat back. Smart man.

While there's a marital agreement on the Trump topic, the Kennedy family's been at odds over RFK Jr.'s politics -- most recently, his campaign ad during last week's Super Bowl raised eyebrows.

Kennedy says, like most families, they don't agree about everything ... but it won't be an issue as his campaign moves forward because his Kennedy upbringing taught him to debate things with passion, but also congeniality.

Healthy debate, disagreement, and tough conversations are what RFK Jr. thinks our country needs ... as long as we don't hate on each other.

Speaking of hate, the candidate caught some lighthearted blowback over the viral photos of him walking barefoot on an airplane -- so, naturally, we had to follow up!

RFK says he can't do that anymore after we put him on blast ... even though it sounds like it's his preferred way to fly. Cheryl says he never should've taken off his shoes in the first place.

See, healthy family disagreement!

RFK Jr. and Cheryl seem warmed up for their upcoming comedy show fundraisers ... the first of which kicks off Wednesday night in Los Angeles, with Cheryl serving as host.

Big day at TMZ, and we're almost at the finish line in the week ... but just getting started on our TV coverage which was chock-full of good stuff.

Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes were taking lumps -- at least by some -- in the court of public opinion -- this after we reported that they were both in attendance at a restaurant/bar for a private party they'd booked as a team in the aftermath of the Kansas City shooting.

We know Patrick had actually organized this -- having booked the spot well before the shooting -- but they're catching flak for actually having gone ... even after the tragedy.

We talked about it all on "TMZ Live" Thursday ... and yeah, it got pretty intense.

Over on "TMZ on TV" ... we were also talking about Travis Kelce, but in a much less serious way -- here, we just got into this new clip of him and Taylor Swift being "so magical."

Finally, on 'TMZ Sports' ... Mike and Mojo talked about Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan seemingly rekindling their romance -- this on the heels of their "breakup." How 'bout that?!?

American actress Tania Raymonde was only 11 years old when she first started playing the role of Cynthia Sanders -- the new kid at school and Malcolm's friend/crush -- on Fox's sitcom "Malcolm In The Middle" back in 2000.

Tania was part of an ensemble cast including Frankie Muniz as the smart (and at times immature) student, Malcolm, Justin Berfield as Malcom's older brother and trickster who enjoys getting into trouble, Reese and Bryan Cranston as Malcolm and Reese's Dad who loves roller skating, Hal.

From 2006-2010, Tania played the role of Alex Rousseau on ABC's "Lost."

La actriz estadounidense -Tania Raymonde- solo tenía 11 años cuando empezó a interpretar el papel de Cynthia Sanders, la nueva alumna del colegio y amiga de Malcolm en la serie de Fox "Malcolm In The Middle" en el año 2000.

Tania formaba parte de un elenco que incluía a Frankie Muniz como el inteligente (y a veces inmaduro) estudiante Malcolm, Justin Berfield como el hermano mayor de Malcolm y el embaucador que disfruta metiéndose en líos, Reese, y Bryan Cranston como Malcolm y el padre de Reese al que le encanta patinar, Hal.

De 2006 a 2010, Tania interpretó el papel de Alex Rousseau en la serie de ABC "Lost".

Austin North se volvió loco en un hospital en Las Vegas esta semana, atacando a varios empleados de urgencias y hubo que calmarlo... al menos eso dijo la policía.

De acuerdo con el informe de la policía, obtenido por TMZ, los oficiales fueron enviados al Hospital el martes por la noche debido a los informes de agresión que se habían producido en la sala de emergencias, y cuando llegaron, los policías dicen que entrevistaron a las presuntas víctimas.

Según un par de enfermeras y un enfermero, afirman haber sido golpeados por Austin de la nada. El actor estaba lanzando puños y empujando a los tres sin razón aparente.

Se alega que golpeó a una enfermera en la cabeza, empujó la cara de otra enfermera y empujó al enfermero contra una mesa, solo que esta última presunta víctima utilizó una bandeja cercana para golpearlo en la cabeza en defensa propia.

En este punto, los policías dicen que Austin fue contenido por los agentes de seguridad, pero se alega que atacó a una última persona, aunque no está claro en el informe cuál era su trabajo.

En cualquier caso, finalmente lo esposaron a una camilla. Los policías que llegaron para encargarse de esto dicen que le leyeron a Austin sus derechos cuando le dijeron que lo estaban arrestando por agresión y cuando le preguntaron si lo había entendido... afirman que dijo "sí".

Fue llevado a la cárcel, donde fue fichado por delito grave de agresión y posó para esta foto. Desde entonces, Austin está en libertad bajo fianza. La única cosa que no se aborda en toda esta narrativa es, ¿qué diablos estaba haciendo en la sala de emergencias en primer lugar?

Eso está por verse, pero es un agujero muy extraño en la historia. Curiosamente, Austin estaba un poco documentando su fin de semana en Las Vegas - el tipo tiene toda una compilación en sus redes sociales que muestra todo lo que estaba haciendo, y parece que mucho.

6:26 PM PT -- Austin North just addressed the situation online, and he says he was having a very severe panic attack where he thought he might die ... adding he doesn't remember much of the incident at all.

AN posted a lengthy description of what he says happened that day -- noting he's been dealing with this condition for a long time, and that the attack he endured Tuesday was by far the worst he's ever experienced. He apologizes to the hospital staff, and says he hopes to shed more light on his condition as time goes on.

Austin North went haywire at a hospital in Vegas this week -- attacking several emergency room staffers and needing to be restrained ... so claim cops, anyway.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, officers were dispatched to UMC Hospital Tuesday night for reports of an assault and battery that had occurred in the ER ... and when they arrived, cops say they interviewed the alleged victims.

According to a couple nurses and a phlebotomist -- who claim to have been struck by Austin in a bum-rush they say came out of nowhere -- the actor was throwing fists and shoving all three of them in succession ... for no apparent reason whatsoever.

He's alleged to have punched a nurse in the head, shoved the face of another nurse and pushed the phlebotomist into a table -- only for the latter alleged victim to use a tray nearby to smack him in the head in self-defense.

At this point, cops say Austin was restrained by security officers ... but he's alleged to have attacked one last person -- although it's not clear from the report what her job was.

In any case, they finally cuffed him to a gurney there in the hospital. The cops who arrived to deal with this say they read Austin his Miranda rights when they told him they were arresting him for battery, and when asked if he understood ... they claim he said "yes."

He was hauled off to jail, where he was booked for gross misdemeanor battery ... and posed for this mug shot. Austin has since bonded out. The one thing that isn't addressed in this whole narrative is ... what the hell was he doing in the ER in the first place???

That remains to be seen ... but it's a very bizarre hole in the story. Interestingly enough, Austin was kinda documenting his weekend in Vegas -- the dude has a whole compilation up on his social media page that shows off everything he was up to ... and it looks like a lot.

We've reached out to his team for comment ... so far, no word back.

Millie Bobby Brown y Jake Bongiovi disfrutaron de un discreto San Valentín en Nueva York, haciendo algunas compras y probando unos deliciosos pasteles.

La estrella de "Stranger Things" y su prometido pasearon por Chinatown el miércoles por la noche, parando a echar un vistazo a algunas tiendas, incluyendo una divertida galería.

Millie y Jake, el hijo de Jon Bon Jovi, se abrigaron con chaquetas y una bufanda de colores, pero Millie aún tenía un poco de frío y terminó comprando un par de guantes.

Después de pasear por Chinatown, la pareja se dirigió a Little Italy y compró una caja de cannolis de Ferrara Bakery. Millie sonrió antes de darles un mordisco y Jake captó su emoción con una selfie. Tenemos que decir que tenían una pinta deliciosa.

Millie y Jake llevan casi un año comprometidos. Su romance comenzó en 2021, cuando empezaron a publicar fotos juntos.

Los cannolis quedan increíble con el café y estos tortolitos pidieron unos y luego se subieron a un taxi. Simple, pero eficaz y sin duda romántico.

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi enjoyed a low-key Valentine's Day in New York City ... doing some window shopping and chowing down on pastries.

The "Stranger Things" star and her fiancé strolled arm in arm through Chinatown on Wednesday night, stopping to browse around a few shops ... including a fun-looking arcade.

Millie and Jake, the son of Jon Bon Jovi, bundled up with jackets and a colorful scarf ... but she still got cold ... and Millie ended up buying a pair of gloves.

After walking around Chinatown, the couple hoofed it over to Little Italy and picked up a box of cannolis from Ferrara Bakery. Millie smiled before taking a bite, and Jake captured her excitement with a selfie. We gotta say, it looks pretty damn yummy.

Millie and Jake have been engaged almost a year now -- and their romance reportedly first popped off sometime in 2021, when they first started posting pics together.

Cannolis go great with coffee, and these longtime lovebirds ordered some java and then hopped in a cab. Simple, yet effective ... and definitely romantic, no doubt.

We're almost at the finish line, but just getting started on topics to talk about on TV -- just take a look at what we covered on Wednesday across all of our own shows.

Sad day on 'TMZ Live' ... because a mass shooting broke out at the Kansas City Chiefs parade -- which turned a great day into a terrible one, especially when you see these clips.

We got some video of the moment gunfire broke out after the parade had wrapped -- and it sounds clear that a rifle of some sort had been used ... backed by other video circulating too.

Over at 'TMZ on TV,' we talked about Ben Affleck's very animated conversation with his wife, Jennifer Lopez -- although, it was hard to say whether it was in anger, or just energy.

We asked our resident Bostonian about it ... and she gave us a very firm response. Watch ...

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan are hanging out in public again -- the first time, in fact, since we revealed they'd taken a break amid a rough patch ... and boy, that was fast!

The couple was spotted together at Trias Flowers & Gifts in Miami on Wednesday -- AKA, Valentine's Day -- confirming our earlier report that they are very much on amicable, talking terms while figuring things out romantically. As it turns out, they're still seeing each other too.

The duo was photographed waiting in line at the flower shop ... and eyewitnesses tell us they appeared to leave the store with a huge vase and bouquet of 1-2 dozen roses.

From the looks of it, they're putting in the work to get their relationship back on track, and quite quickly ... seems V-Day's giving them the perfect opportunity to do exactly that.

BTW, Marcus and Larsa were also seen going to her pad in Miami on Wednesday -- so they were out and about together ... and weren't really hiding it either. On its face, it seems to suggest that their "break" might be coming to an end ... or at least nearing that anyway.

Again, they were at the florist ... and also at her house. Ya gotta figure they'll be spending the evening together as well.

We broke the story ... MJ and LP pressed pause in their relationship and were figuring out how to move forward romantically while remaining on good terms -- but they appear to have figured out some things in short order.

Our sources told us their split wasn't caused by one specific thing. Instead, they've just hit a difficult patch in their relationship.

But the fact that they're still communicating and going out to get flowers is a promising sign that things are bloomin' back into place.

Drea De Matteo vuelve como la sensación de TikTok... y eso significa que es hora de volver a vestirse como su famoso personaje de los "Soprano".

La actriz, que interpretó a Adriana La Cerva en la exitosa serie de HBO, se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" y le preguntamos qué se siente al ver sus antiguas elecciones de moda de vuelta en la cultura pop.

Drea dice que se divierte vistiéndose como Adriana de nuevo y eso significa usar un montón de estampados de animales y pieles. No vayas a delatarla a PETA, Adriana dice que solo lleva imitación.

De hecho, Drea se dirigía a una sesión de fotos después de charlar con nosotros y nos dio un adelanto de laestética que iba para.

Mientras Drea se divierte con la tendencia de TikTok, no es así como se viste en la vida real, de hecho está empezando su propia línea de moda a la que llama Ultrafree.

Pero si resulta que la esposa de la mafia es tendencia, parece que Adriana va a volver por momentos, y ella está feliz de ver a otras celebridades como Dua Lipa y Jennifer López adoptando su estilo.

Drea De Matteo is the "It" girl again, as the poster child for the mob wife aesthetic trend from TikTok ... and that means it's time to bust out that wardrobe her 'Sopranos' character first made famous.

The actress, who played Adriana La Cerva on the hit HBO series, joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live," and we asked her what it feels like to see her old fashion choices back in pop culture.

Drea says she's leaning into it, and enjoying dressing up like Adriana again ... and that means lots of animal prints and furs. Before ya go ratting her out to PETA, DDM says she only wears faux.

In fact, she was heading to a photo shoot after chatting with us, and gave us a sneak peek of the Mob Wives aesthetic she was about to be rockin' in Little Italy.

While Drea's having fun with the TikTok trend, it's not how she dresses in real life ... and she's actually launching her own fashion line called Ultrafree.

But as long as mob wife is trending, Drea's going to lean into it ... and she's happy to see other celebs like Dua Lipa and Jennifer Lopez embracing the look.

8:13 AM PT -- BOP tells TMZ that Todd and Julie actually could've communicated on Valentine's Day -- but they just had to get it approved and planned out beforehand. They also tell us inmates get their mail in a prompt timeframe, despite Todd's claims.

Todd and Julie Chrisley won't be sending their love to each other on Valentine's Day ... which their attorney says is coming as a huge drag.

The couple's attorney, Jay Surgent, tells TMZ the duo won't be able to communicate with one another on Valentine's Day 'cause inmates aren't permitted to get in touch while in different federal prisons.

You'll recall ... Todd was given a 12-year sentence at FPC Pensacola for a slew of fraud charges, while Julie was sent to FMC Lexington in Kentucky for 7 years -- so not only are they in separate prisons, but they're also in different states.

Their attorney tells us the Federal Bureau of Prisons has a no-crossover/contact policy... but Jay doesn't quite understand it, telling us it creates zero security problems or cause for concern.

Jay says the Chrisleys being unable to communicate during V-Day will be a real bummer ... especially cause their love for each other is unwavering and distance has only made the heart grow fonder.

Meanwhile, Jay says when he last spoke with Todd last week, TC said he wanted to pursue an investigation against FPC Pensacola prison administration for mail theft and general corruption ... among other things. He also claims he still hasn't received the mail he's been expecting, which raises further concerns with him.

As we all know by now, Todd's been vocal about the living conditions at his new digs ... ripping them apart for their disgusting food, possible mold, and bad plumbing.

But as it relates to the heart ... it seems like Todd and Julie's love is under lock and key for the time being.
