Kaley Cuoco Files For Divorce After 3 Years of Marriage

UPDATE

3:12 PM PT -- Kaley just filed for divorce ... according to online court records.

Kaley Cuoco and her husband are breaking up after only 3 years of marriage ... and they say it's because they're going in opposite directions in life.

The actress and her hubby, Karl Cook, announced the split Friday in a joint statement to TMZ, saying ... "Despite a deep love and respect for one another, we have realized that our current paths have taken us in opposite directions."

The former couple adds ... "There is no anger or animosity, quite the contrary. We have made this decision together through an immense amount of respect and consideration for one another."

As we reported ... Kaley and Karl tied the knot back in the summer of 2018, getting hitched at a horse stable in San Diego. They met at a horse show in 2016 and started dating, and by 2017 Karl popped the question.

Kaley and Karl did not have any children, and this was her second marriage. She was previously married to professional tennis player Ryan Sweeting, and they didn't have children either.

LeBron James Hangs Out With Elton John ... Vacation Mode in Italy

LeBron James was having a nice meal with his wife on a romantic getaway to Italy when someone came up to their table to say hello ... and it was none other than Elton John!!!

The Los Angeles Lakers stud and 'Space Jam 2' star was enjoying the best Italian food money can buy while on vacation in Nerano with his wife, Savannah, when the Rocketman sauntered over to their table to exchange pleasantries.

LeBron's been with the Lakers for three years so he knows Hollywood is a small town ... and it seems he's finding out the same several time zones away in Italy.

LeBron and his entourage looked pretty interested in whatever Elton had to say ... and then they went back to their pasta and vino.

No word if Elton was giving a 'Space Jam 2' movie review.

Kim Kardashian West Not Listening to 'CLB' ... Viral Pic is a Phony

Kim Kardashian West's loyalty remains with Kanye West, and she's NOT listening to Drake's new album ... despite what a now viral photo might suggest.

Drizzy's highly-anticipated "Certified Lover Boy" dropped Friday, and it didn't take long for a photo claiming to have been ripped from KKW's Instagram story to flood social media. The screengrab showed Kim was listening to the song "Fair Trade" from the album, featuring Travis Scott with the volume turned up.

Our Kardashian sources tell us the post is fake, she was never listening to the album, and stands strongly behind Kanye and "Donda."

As for why the volume turned up on the phony post should be noted -- shortly after Kanye dropped his album, "Donda," earlier this week, Kim posted a series of her favorite tracks on her IG story. Eagle-eyed fans noticed Kim was apparently listening with the volume off.

However, our sources tell us Kim wasn't listening to the album in realtime when she posted the tracks -- in fact, she was on a Zoom for law school when she posted. We're told she'd had "Donda" for months, and was just excited to share some of the songs.

Of course, "Certified Lover Boy" didn't drop without some apparent jabs at Ye ... one track, titled "7AM on Bridle Path" -- the street where Drake allegedly lives -- he raps, "Give that address to your driver, make it your destination. ’Stead of just a post out of desperation.”

The line is almost certainly in reference to Kanye posting about Drake's home address after Drake called West "burnt out" in a track with Trippie Redd.

We'll see if Kanye retaliates, but he's at least got a strong ally in Kim on his side.

Post Malone Thanks French Firefighters Who Battled Wildfires

Post Malone is saying "merci" to a group of firefighters in France ... thanking them for battling blazes that threatened the vineyard where his wine is made.

Sources close to Post Malone tell TMZ ... he was having dinner at Ultimate Provence in the South of France this week when he met some local firefighters who helped save the vineyard property from the fires.

We're told Posty thanked the firefighters for all of their hard and brave work ... shaking hands and posing for pictures in the restaurant.

The fires blazed in the South of France last month, causing thousands of people to flee their homes and hotels, and the fast-moving fires raced towards famous vineyards.

Post Malone's wine company, Maison No. 9, was in the line of fire ... until firefighters got the blaze under control.

The fires were the worst in France since 2003, and thanks to some recent rain, things are looking on the up and up.

Johnny Bench I Tested Positive For COVID-19 ... Will Miss Hall of Fame Ceremony

Johnny Bench says he's tested positive for the coronavirus and will not be able to attend the upcoming National Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

The Cincinnati Reds legend announced Friday on social media he was battling the virus despite being vaccinated.

73-year-old Johnny, a Hall of Famer himself, says he's bummed to miss out on seeing the latest Hall of Fame class being inducted into Cooperstown.

The Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday in New York ... and Johnny sounds like he was looking forward to welcoming the Class of 2020, which includes Derek Jeter, Marvin Miller, Ted Simmons and Larry Walker.

Johnny says he's glad he got inoculated because his bout with the virus could have been much worse otherwise ... he says his doctor told him he would have been hospitalized if not for getting the COVID-19 vaccine.

'Qanon Shaman' Pleads Guilty To Felony ... Agrees To Up To 51 Months In Prison

One of the most infamous faces of the Capitol insurrection -- the bare-chested "shaman" wearing horns and face paint -- could serve hard time for the riot ... he just pleaded guilty to a felony.

Jacob Chansley, who many know as the "QAnon Shaman," pled guilty Friday to obstructing an official proceeding before Congress ... according to legal docs, obtained by TMZ.

According to the plea deal, Chansley agreed to accept a recommended sentence of 41 to 51 months in prison. Sentencing is set for Nov. 17 and in the meantime, he's requesting to be released from jail while he awaits his fate.

As we reported ... Chansley was arrested a few days after the Jan. 6 riot, on charges of knowingly entering/remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, violent entry, and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.

Prosecutors claim he called the FBI and copped to being the man wearing Viking garb roaming the Capital with a spear and American flag.

He's also the same guy who reportedly complained about not being able to eat in federal custody as a result of a lack of organic food options in line with his strict diet.

Dog the Bounty Hunter A Married Man Again!!! First Look at CO Ceremony

Dog Chapman is a married man again -- after marrying Francie Frane Thursday night -- and we've got some of the first images from the intimate ceremony.

The nuptials went down in Colorado Springs at an estate called The Pinery At The Hill. In photos and video, obtained by TMZ, you can see the 68-year-old reality star kiss his new bride in front of family and loved ones inside the venue.

Dog seemed relaxed, at one point, stepping outside to smoke a cigarette and have a glass of wine while the party went on around him.

Dog had somewhat jokingly said awhile back, he didn't expect the venue would be quite as expensive as it was, but he seemed to have shed that concern on his wedding night. He also posed with a fan outside the wedding.

TMZ broke the story ... Dog's 2 daughters, Cecily and Bonnie Chapman, were not invited to the ceremony. They believe it was because they supported the BLM movement.

Dog denied that was why they were persona non grata, but in an ET interview, Dog dug a hole for himself by talking about having used the n-word in the past, saying when he was in prison he got a pass from "the brothers" to use the word.

That all said, Dog has now embarked on a new chapter ... this, of course, following the death of Beth, who succumbed to cancer back in 2019.

Ex-NFL's David Patten Dead At 47 Years Old After Motorcycle Accident

Former longtime NFL player David Patten has died at 47 years old ... after he was involved in a motorcycle accident on Thursday, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Law enforcement tells us the crash happened around 9:45 PM ... and Patten was pronounced dead on the scene.

Police say Patten -- on his motorcycle -- "traveled left of center" and struck a Chevrolet Sedan. The Chevy then sideswiped a Honda. The driver of the Chevrolet was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

Patten had a wonderful football career ... winning 3 rings with the Pats in the early 2000s. David caught a touchdown pass from Tom Brady in Super Bowl XXXVI -- helping TB12 win his 1st ring.

It was an improbable path for the 5'10" receiver ... he went undrafted out of Western Carolina in 1996 ... before signing with an Arena Football League squad.

He only played arena ball for 1 season before catching on with the NY Giants. Patten spent 3 seasons with the G-Men, and 1 with the Cleveland Browns before signing with the Pats in 2001.

Patten won 3 Super Bowls in New England ... before leaving in 2004. Patten played several more season in New Orleans and Washington before retiring. He ultimately played 12 seasons in the NFL.

Since hanging up his cleats, Patten had been living with his wife in South Carolina ... the state where he was born.

Many of Patten's famous teammates have expressed condolences following his death.

Richard Seymour wrote ... "heartbroken 💔 great man of God… lost for words - David Patten… 🙏🏽"

Deion Branch also weighed in on the terrible news ... "🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Great Player, but Most of All A Great Man, Mentor and Brother #LoveYou #ChiefChief"

David's former coach, Charlie Weis, also talked about the loss of his former player.

"Shocked and saddened about the sudden tragic death of David Patten. Excellent player, even better person. Family guy, team guy, devout Christian. Prayers all directed this way. RIP David. You will be sorely missed."

RIP

Drake 'Certified Lover Boy' Drops ... Shots Fired at Kanye

Drake made good on his promise to drop his new album -- belated though it was -- and he smack-talked Kanye hard.

"Certified Lover Boy" was unveiled as promised -- at midnight -- 9 months after Drake had planned to release it.

Drizzy doesn't mention Ye by name, but no need to ... he's clearly throwing shade at him on the track, "7am On Bridle Path."

"Told you I'm aimin' straight for the head

Now they 'Amen' and 'Please'

I can give a f*** about who designing your sneakers and tees

Had somebody put you on a guilt and you play with my seed."

But, Drake wasn't done with Kanye ...

"Trust me, there's some s*** you really gotta come and see to believe

That's why your people not believers, they all leavin' ya

You know the fourth level of jealousy is called 'Media.'"

Kanye's manager told TMZ this week Ye would be listening closely to Drake's album for references to him, and if Drizzy crossed the line it would be war on.

Among those appearing on the album -- Jay-Z, Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, 21 Savage, Ty Dolla $ign, Kid Cudi, Rick Ross, Lil Baby and Project Pat.

The first cut on the album -- "Champagne Poetry" -- samples one of the Beatles' iconic songs, "Michelle." Drizzy appropriately gives John Lennon and Paul McCartney songwriting credit.

In all, there are 21 tracks, including a spoken-word cameo by Nicki Minaj on "Papi's Home."

And, there's this ... R. Kelly gets a credit fo composer and lyricist for the song, "TSU."

Drake was ultimately true to his word after dropping a cryptic clue in an ESPN promo ... that the album would drop Sept. 3.

Kanye's album did incredibly well during its first week of release, but Drake's the odds-on fav to top Billboard next week.

We shall see.

Conor McGregor Lights Out in Hollywood

UPDATE

8:27 AM PT -- A source close to Conor tells TMZ ... Conor was with his managers and left the club early due to his leg and was really feeling some major discomfort. This wasn’t alcohol induced.

Conor McGregor knows a thing or 2 about putting people's lights out -- being a UFC champ and all -- and Thursday night he got a taste of his own medicine after a night of hard partying.

Conor lay passed out in his car outside Delilah ... where there was a listening party of sorts for Drake's new album.

On the way to the club, Conor posted, "I’m on the way to @delilah right now to have them play it on blast." Well, that he clearly did.

As you know ... Conor is nursing a gruesome leg injury he suffered during a UFC fight against Dustin Poirier. His leg snapped, and that led to an almost 4-hour surgery to repair the damage. His leg needed the works ... a rod, a plate and screws.

Nonetheless, we got Conor out and about ... boasting he was way ahead of schedule in his recovery. He said, "Five weeks, five days since the surgery and they told me I wouldn't be able to cycle until eight weeks, And, he just told me just here today that I can cycle again!"

Conor didn't really miss a beat ... hanging with Justin Bieber, getting in lift sessions at the gym ... even hitting up Universal Studios on crutches.

He's gonna feel it today ... for sure!

Kodak Black Threatened for Donating AC to Housing Project ... Olive Branch Extended

UPDATE

3:10 PM PT -- A rep for the Pompano Beach Housing Authority tells TMZ ... while Kodak's donation was "an extremely generous and admirable gesture," there were concerns about AC installations being done properly to meet safety guidelines.

UPDATE

Additionally, the Housing Authority insists all residents were already equipped with AC units, and says the cease-and-desist letter the rapper received addressed other issues too ... like allegedly unauthorized music vid shoots and large gatherings creating a public safety hazard.

UPDATE

The Housing Authority's extending an olive branch though, adding ... "We welcome the opportunity to collaborate with Mr. Black on his efforts to give back to the Pompano Beach community."

Kodak Black is living proof ... no good deed goes unpunished.

Kodak is now in the crosshairs of the Pompano Beach Authority, which seems to have all sorts of problems with Kodak donating air conditioning units in a housing project to help them beat the sweltering Florida heat.

KODAK KOOL OFF
TMZ.com

Kodak personally delivered the AC units back in July, but we found out the Housing Authority fired off a cease and desist letter last month, which accused Kodak of entering the property twice, causing "disturbances." The Housing Authority claimed the rapper caused a disruption by shooting a music video on the property and playing loud music. And, get this ... the H.A. railed on him for daring to install air conditioning in the units.

The Housing Authority said, "Your actions have adversely impacted the Property's residents' right to peacefully enjoy the property."

Kodak's lawyer, Bradford Cohen, begs to differ, firing off a letter to the Housing Authority and saying it was sad and shameful they "wish to stop the assistance to the elderly and underprivileged during a heat wave and 2 year pandemic."

Cohen says Kodak did NOT film any music videos ... there was just some background music that was not loud at all.

Dog the Bounty Hunter Pastor Rebukes His N-Word 'Pass' ... But Defends His Character

Dog the Bounty Hunter's been educated about his inappropriate use of the n-word and now knows he doesn't have a pass to use it ... so says his former pastor, Tim Storey, who still believes Dog means well and has a good heart.

Storey -- who is Black, and is now an acclaimed author, speaker and life coach -- tells TMZ he's still very close to Dog after 20 years, so he called him following Dog's controversial interview with ET's Kevin Frazier ... and told him his comments were "not wise."

Tim says he explained to Dog that he does NOT have a pass to say the n-word regardless of what he thought in the past or what he told Frazier ... and Dog conceded his point and agrees.

According to Storey ... Dog is not a racist, but he sometimes doesn't think through everything he says. The former pastor insists Dog has a good heart, is willing to grow and learn from mistakes and has always treated him and his family with nothing but love and respect.

Tim also claims he's never personally heard Dog say the n-word other than his infamous, racial-slur-loaded rant that was leaked back in 2007 ... and doesn't think he should be canceled for that stain from his past.

As we've reported, the 2007 leaked phone call between Dog and his son got him canceled at A&E, and seems to be a bone of contention between his daughters, Bonnie and Cecily, and him. TMZ broke the story ... they were not invited to his wedding that went down Thursday.

Storey, on the other hand, tells us he did get an invite -- he actually officiated Dog's wedding to Beth Chapman in 2006 -- but didn't attend due to a scheduling conflict.

Britney Spears Boyfriend Ring Shops at Cartier ... Popping Question Soon???

Britney Spears says she wants to get married, and here's a sign it might actually happen ... her boyfriend is shopping for jewelry and looking at rings!!!

Britney's boyfriend of over 4 years, Sam Asghari, went ring shopping Thursday ... hitting up Cartier in Bev Hills. As you can see, something caught Sam's eye in the jewelry case and he snapped a pic of it with his phone.

Eventually, the saleswoman brought out what appeared to be a diamond ring so Sam could get a better look.

Sam's ring shopping is pretty interesting ... you'll remember Britney made it clear last June in court ... she had marriage on her mind. Spears claimed a big motivator in getting out of the conservatorship was to be able to get married and have children ... both things she claimed she was blocked from doing under her dad's control.

As we first told you ... Britney and Sam have talked about getting engaged but he's never formalized it with a proposal.

But, now it at least looks like Sam could be seriously considering popping the question.

Stay tuned ...

Daymond John 14-Year-Olds Entering the Workforce ... Adults are Being Left in the Dust!!!

090221-daymond-john-kal
ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES
TMZ.com

Daymond John thinks restaurants and retail companies recruiting minors to fill job vacancies is a BRILLIANT idea ... and he has harsh words for those who are sitting on the sidelines and not willing to work.

The "Shark Tank" star appeared on "TMZ Live" ... praising business owners who are hiring 14 and 15-year-olds, especially in the food industry.

He makes solid points ... Steve Jobs and Bill Gates started early learning their craft before taking over the world. He says many 13 and 14-year-olds aren't distracted by things like romance, and they are reliable workers who are eager to learn and excel.

It would definitely fill a void ... there are more than a million job openings that have gone unfilled for various reasons. Daymond says if adults don't want to fill the positions, they're gonna be left in the dust because these kids can do their jobs just fine.

A McDonald's in Oregon posted a sign that read, "Now Hiring 14 & 15 Year Olds." A Burger King in Ohio said "Do You Have A 14 Or 15 year old? Do They Need A Job?? We Will Hire Them!" A Texas chicken chain has even promoted teenagers to management positions that pay more than $50k a year.

That translates into financial independence, and when it comes time for college -- if that's what the young workers choose -- they won't be underwater with student loans.

Mike Tyson Settles Paul Vs. Woodley Debate ... Jake Won!!!

083021-mike-tyson-kal
HE DESERVED THE 'W'
TMZSports.com

No, Tyron Woodley did NOT get screwed over by the judges on Sunday ... so says Mike Tyson, who tells TMZ Sports Jake Paul was the clear winner of the epic boxing match.

The split decision in favor of the YouTube superstar was met with serious backlash on social media ... with folks from Claressa Shields to Ben Askren to Tyron himself saying he should have had his hand raised after 8 rounds.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

So, in order to settle the debate once and for all, we caught up with Iron Mike at the Four Seasons in New York and asked for his take ... and there's no doubt in his mind who won.

"Jake Paul won," Tyson told us ... adding, "I love Jake Paul. Tyron Woodley did his best."

Now, Woodley wants to get a rematch with Paul to prove he can really whoop his ass ... but Jake may not let it happen if Tyron doesn't agree to get the "I Love Jake Paul" tat.

A lot has gone down since Tyron lost -- Jake retired and later unretired -- but it sounds like we haven't heard the last of Woodley in the ring.
