Surprise, Milli Vanilli's Fab Morvan is married! Double surprise, he's headed for divorce -- according to online court records obtained by TMZ, Kim Marlowe's filed paperwork to end their marriage.
There's limited information at this point -- but what we know is Kim, who was an executive producer on his 2023 documentary film "Milli Vanilli" -- filed the divorce docs in L.A. County Superior Court.
Kim is also listed as Fab's manager on IMDB, a 1997 L.A. Times article refers to her as his best friend.
Here's another plot twist -- less than 3 months ago, Fab told People magazine said he's been living in Amsterdam with his partner Tessa van der Steen and their 4 kids -- ranging from ages 2 to 10.
That news wasn't all that shocking, at the time, because no one knew he'd been married.
So, it's possible Fab and Kim separated ages ago, and she's just now getting around to filing divorce paperwork.
Nonetheless, Fab may still be on decent terms with Kim ... they posed together last June in NYC during the Tribeca Film Festival -- where he also posed for pics with Tessa.
Busy guy!
TMZ's reached out to Fab's camp for comment ... so far, no word back.

PAUL GIAMATTI CELEBRATES GOLDEN GLOBES WIN AT IN-N-OUT
Paul Giamatti traded a fancy dinner for a good ol' burger and fries to celebrate his Golden Globes win ... beelining straight to an In-N-Out after the awards ceremony Sunday evening.
The suited and booted actor dined at the popular fast food restaurant in Westwood ... his shiny Best Actor trophy, which he won for 'The Holdovers', perched alongside trays of food.
Writer Evan Ross Katz shared the IG snap ... writing, "Paul Giamatti celebrating his Golden Globe win at In-N-Out. King. Absolutely no notes."
Paul's low-key sighting comes after finding himself the center of attention while collecting his awards earlier onstage.
He placed focus elsewhere during his acceptance speech, though ... paying thanks to teachers -- especially as he plays a stubborn teacher in the movie.
With the GGs setting the tone for the rest of the award season, it looks like Paul could be in and out of In-N-Out a whole lot more this year!

Vivica A. Fox Feel for Taraji and All ... But That's Not My Reality 🤷

Exclusive
- 28.2K shares
Vivica A. Fox has all the sympathy in the world for the issues Taraji P. Henson says she's experienced in the industry -- including unequal pay -- but says that isn't her experience at all.
We got the actress out Monday in NYC, where she was busy signing autographs in between fielding questions from our photog ... who asked about this growing convo about crappy working conditions that TPH and other 'Color Purple' cast members apparently experienced.
As you know, Taraji and a good handful of big stars from the film have been airing their grievances very publicly lately -- sometimes breaking down while discussing it.
Like we said, Vivica has empathy for their situation ... and says it's important for folks to speak their piece and get their truth out there -- noting she appreciates how the ladies stuck together and advocated for one another (and basic privileges) while filming the big budget film.
With that said, VAF also makes this very clear -- what Taraji's talking about is foreign to her.
Watch the clip ... Vivica says she just can't relate to what Taraji's gone through in the biz -- and ends by telling us, somewhat proudly ..."I'm good." Noted!
If it sounds like she's talking down on Taraji -- eye of the beholder, we suppose. The point is ... she's certainly distancing herself from whatever sort of energy TPH is enduring. Mind you, Vivica and Taraji are pretty friendly ... both have been successful in the biz for a long time.
That's why this matter-of-fact response from Viv here comes across as ... dare we say, cold. Like she says, though -- to each their own.
BTW, Vivica ain't the only one who weighed in on this ever-growing topic ... LaKeith Stanfield spoke on it too when we got him in the Big Apple, and he completely backed Taraji speaking truth to power.
Check out how he frames this, 'cause it's pretty interesting ... he doesn't say whether this might negatively affect Taraji's career, but does seem to cosign her continuing to rally.

Tyreek Hill House Fire Caused $2.3 Mil In Damages ... Officials Say

The inferno at Tyreek Hill's mansion caused the NFL superstar's property to lose over $2 million in value ... this according to an incident report obtained by TMZ Sports.
In the docs, officials say the Southwest Ranches, Fla. residence -- which the wide receiver bought for $6.9 million in 2022 -- had an estimated value of $5.6 million before the flames ... but the blaze caused some $2.3 million in damages.
What's worse for Hill ... officials also said in the docs they believe around $1 million worth of stuff was destroyed during the incident as well.
Authorities provided a little more detail on how they believe the blaze all started ... writing in the documents that two kids at the home told them they had been playing with a lighter which they "thought was a toy and accidentally lit a toy on fire."
"They got scared," officials said, "threw the toy, and ran."
According to the report, the child who started the fire was a 4-year-old.
The report states no one was injured ... and an investigation into the blaze is now closed.
As we reported, a 911 caller initially told law enforcement of the fire at around 1:50 PM ET on Jan. 3. Hill was not present at the time it broke out ... though he did leave Dolphins practice early to tend to the matter.
Hill still managed to play in Miami's game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night despite the distraction ... and he logged 82 yards and a score in a 21-14 loss.

A massive explosion in Fort Worth this week made the downtown streets look like something out of an action movie -- and, unfortunately, it left some people harmed.
Local officials and first responders swarmed upon the Sandman Hotel on Houston Street Monday afternoon ... this after a blast rocked the side of the building and sent debris and rubble spilling into the streets.
Reports say at least 11 people sustained injuries of varying degrees, and one person is reported as dead ... and a cleanup is underway right now. As far as what might've caused this -- fire officials are saying it appears to be a gas leak of some sort.
The exact cause is still under investigation. In case it wasn't clear how bad this was from the footage that's going around, we're now learning 2 floors' worth of the high-rise hotel was destroyed ... so it's a miracle even more people weren't hurt, or even killed.
Locals are saying the smell of gas is spreading throughout the immediate area -- and they're scrambling to get to the bottom of what the hell happened here. There's word that some construction may have been going on at this hotel.

Farrah Abraham Sues Club Security Guard for Assault After Different Guard Sued Her Over 2022 Clash

Exclusive Details
- 160 shares
UPDATE
7:47 PM PT -- Not shockingly, Farrah Abraham has a much different memory of what happened at the restaurant/club, and, in fact, she's filed her own lawsuit over the 2022 incident.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Farrah's suing because a security guard named George Velazquez allegedly "flung her down to the ground like a ragdoll." We can't confirm Velazquez is the guy seen pinning her down in the video from that night ... but, in the suit, she does say it was captured on camera.
She also claims he held her down with his knee and repeatedly said, "You are going to jail" -- a description that matches up with the video.
Farrah is suing Velazquez and the venue, Grandmaster Recorders, for assault, battery and emotional distress.
Farrah Abraham is being taken to court by a security guard who claims she slapped her back in 2022.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Farrah is being sued by a female security guard -- claiming she suffered lost wages and incurred a bunch of medical expenses for what she says went down 2 years ago.
She says she was working at Grandmaster Recorders when she was advised by other security officers of a fight on the roof, and was working on escorting Farrah off the property "due to her assaultive behavior with other customers."
The docs say it was during the escort that things turned physical -- with Farrah allegedly striking the security guard on the side of the face, which she says left her with an eye injury, other facial injuries, and psychological trauma.
As we reported, Farrah was accused of acting belligerently at the venue and was asked to leave, but refused. We were told paramedics on the scene called cops for backup, and a citizen's arrest for battery was ultimately made.
Our sources say Farrah was quickly released after being taken into custody ... and the security guard is now seeking unspecified damages over it all.
We reached out to Farrah for comment ... so far, no word back.

Young Thug On Trial Casually Wears Shirt That Says 'Sex Records' To Court!!!

Young Thug made an unexpected fashion statement in court on Monday ... rocking a white dress shirt with some hot and heavy language emblazoned on the front. Take a guess ...
The rapper -- who's in the middle of a criminal trial right now -- randomly told his followers to call him by the s-word years ago and the shirt's full message read, "SEX Records: Truly Humble Under God." Indeed, he was wearing this right there in front of the judge and jury.
His lawyer Brian Steele argued back in November that his rap name was an acronym for "Truly Humble Under God" ... and the "Young" was an ode to Tupac Shakur.
The lawyer of rapper ‘Young Thug’ claims the ‘Thug’ in his name stands for:
— Censored Men (@CensoredMen) November 29, 2023 @CensoredMen
Truly.
Humble.
Under.
God. pic.twitter.com/KpIggC0cmE
A calm and collected YT's bold wardrobe choice didn't seem to alarm his legal counsel ... the retired police sergeant reporting on the trial had a difference in opinion, though.
Young Thug’s friend Trontavious “Tick” Stephens admitted in his plea deal to criminal activity on behalf of a gang that has “three or more” members.

Asked to name the others this morning, Tick testified he believed he could be considered three people. pic.twitter.com/0jCZVbmw8I
It was an eventful day in court for YSL ... Young Thug’s friend Trontavious “Tick” Stephens also took the stand and said some things ... but in a plain shirt.

Golden Globes Viewership Up 50% After Jump to CBS
This year's Golden Globes ceremony had way more eyes on it compared to years past ... this despite a negative reaction to parts of the ceremony, and changing TV networks.
Sunday's televised event, which aired on CBS for the first time, was hit with some mixed reviews -- but the program had 9.4 million total viewers, according to Nielsen ratings, which is up 50% from 2023's event.
Last year's show, hosted by Jerrod Carmichael on NBC, only reached 6.3 million viewers, and that was down from the year before that.
This year's show also streamed on Paramount+, and instantly became the platform's second-largest live-streamed special ever ... and was reportedly the largest live-streaming audience for CBS since last year's Grammy Awards.
Of course, the change from NBC to CBS wasn't the only shift -- the Hollywood Foreign Press lost ownership of the Golden Globes last year after landing in hot water over a lack of diversity.
There are a few potential explanations for the increase -- the enormous box office success of films like "Barbie," "Oppenheimer" and Taylor Swift's 'The Eras Tour' ... the Taylor factor itself, and the fact NFL games on CBS immediately preceded the Globes.
As you know, folks negatively chimed in online about Jo Koy's job as this year's host, which included a dig at the NFL for its constant coverage of Taylor at Travis Kelce's games.
While online buzz might've made it seem like the award show took an L, the real story is the Globes won big.

Ryan Garcia says his marriage to Drea Celina was beyond repair -- the boxing star filed for divorce due to "irreconcilable differences" ... this according to court docs obtained by TMZ Sports.
As we previously reported, the 25-year-old pugilist announced his split from his wife of nearly 3 years via his Instagram account Friday night ... just minutes after revealing they welcomed their second child together.
In the docs filed last week, Garcia says he and Celina -- who got married on Jan. 14, 2021 -- were officially separated on Christmas Day 2023.
The 24-1 fighter says he is willing to financially support their two children -- 3-year-old Bela and Henry, who was born last month -- based on the minor children's "reasonable needs."
As for Drea, the docs state Garcia is open to paying spousal support to her for the next 17 1/2 months -- half the time they were married.
In the divorce announcement, Garcia said co-parenting is the former couple's "top priority" ... and he will continue to focus on Bela and Henry's health and well-being.
"I believe our mutual devotion to our children is rock solid, and I trust that together, we will continue to provide them with the love, support and stability they deserve," he said in the statement.
Drea, on the other hand, shared cryptic messages on her account ... seemingly indicating that there may be more to the story.

DeRay Davis says he's all for Katt Williams' shaking things up for Steve Harvey, Cedric The Entertainer, Ludacris and others ... 'cause it's good for the comedy culture, and doesn't bleed out into real-life beef.
TMZ Hip Hop recently got DeRay's take on Katt's big ticket "Club Shay Shay" interview and he swears up and down that all the comedians whom Katt rang through the ringer still love him at the end of the day and would quickly have a private convo about the public fallout.

DeRay has been rubbing shoulders on the same circuits as Katt's targets for years ... and didn't hold back the fact he was a little bummed Katt didn't call him out ... for better or worse. Katt named a lot of names in his bombshell interview -- but DeRay wasn't one of 'em.
Now, for what it's worth, Gary Owen gave DeRay a shout-out when reacting to his own name being mentioned ... working with DeRay was better for his bank account than working with Steve Harvey. Oop.
Looking into the new year, Kanye West closed out 2023 -- not by dropping his new album but by giving DeRay a ringing endorsement on his rap skills ... as the most valuable comedian spitting on the m-i-c.
DeRay assures us he's a legit MC ... he's been rapping since 11 years old and is finally buckling down to tighten up his music career after his comedy took a life of its own.
When you see the name "Soopa Boots" this year, know that it's DeRay's contributions to the rap game.

Cardi B & Offset Swatted at Georgia Home ... Cops Run Into Uncle & Angry Migo

Exclusive
- 72 shares
Before Cardi B and Offset called it quits late last year, it looks like they were dealing with some bozo calling 911 and reporting fake crimes happening at their home ... and some of it was captured on video.
TMZ has obtained police body cam video that was taken in August last year out in Sandy Springs, GA -- where the estranged couple have a home. In an incident report, cops say they were dispatched to their address after calls came in to report someone had been shot there.
One officer notes in the police report that a caller claimed someone fired a shot at a "famous rapper's house" and even suggested Cardi herself may have been hit with a bullet ... so cops came with lights and sirens, and with their firearms drawn.
Fortunately ... cops say the call turned out to be BS -- something officers discovered when they arrived at the property and talked to Offset's uncle, Derrick Cephus, who said he was house-sitting. Yep, it sounds like Cardi and Offset weren't even home for this swatting attempt .... just a confused relative!
Check out the video to see the encounter, 'cause it's pretty wild -- especially when it sounds like Offset gets roped in on the phone, which you can clearly hear from the speaker. It's pretty obvious he was heated about the bogus report ... and perhaps even angrier that officers were there at all.
After some back and forth -- and eventually realizing nothing was wrong -- the cops left and just took a report of the whole thing. Also worth noting ... Offset refers to CB as his "wife" here, and says she's with him in L.A. while all this ruckus is going down back at home.
Now, in terms of how this plays into their current relationship status (complicated), it's hard to say for sure ... but it seems to suggest that whatever happened with their relationship may have been after this.
Meanwhile, this just goes to show ... folks apparently love to screw with stars in the worst way possible.

Larsa Pippen's putting her swanky Miami pad on the market, while also looking for a new place to nest with boyfriend Marcus Jordan ... TMZ has learned.
Real estate sources tell TMZ ... the 'Real Housewives' star listed the 3,312 square foot penthouse Saturday for a cool $4.199 million, and the new owners can buy it fully furnished.
You'll recall, she bought the spot in 2022 for $3.375M, so she's hoping to make a sweet profit.
We're told the downtown Miami building, which was heavily featured on "The Real Housewives of Miami," comes with 5 freaking pools, a game room, boxing studio, fitness center, and even a recording studio -- so it's well-equipped for a wide variety of hobbies.
Our sources say Larsa updated and upgraded the penthouse with bougie things like intricate wallpaper and top-of-the-line window blackouts.
As for why she's moving, sources close to Larsa tell us she's in the market for a new Miami spot with more room for her and Marcus to live in -- although, we're told they haven't found anything they both love, yet.
Marcus and Larsa have been spending time together in L.A. recently, but it doesn't sound like they're getting too comfortable on the West Coast ... 'cause Florida is still in their sights.

Lisa Bonet Files to Divorce Jason Momoa ... 2 Years After Split News

Lisa Bonet is ready to finally end her relationship with Jason Momoa officially -- 'cause she just filed for divorce.
According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, Lisa is asking a judge for a dissolution of marriage -- this nearly 2 years after they announced they were splitting up and heading down the road of divorce.
In her paperwork, LB lists their date of separation as Oct. 7, 2020 -- which means they've been split up for a little while now. Remember, they got hitched back in 2017 ... so all in all, it sounds like they enjoyed about 3 years of a happy married life.
Now, when it comes to their two minor children, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf, Lisa says she wants joint physical and legal custody. On the money front, Lisa isn't asking for spousal support ... and she indicates Jason won't be asking for dough either.
The implication here seems to be that they have a prenup in place -- as their separate property and assets are "agreed between the parties." This marks Lisa's 2nd marriage ... she was famously married to Lenny Kravitz and had a girl with him, actress Zoe Kravitz.
For Jason, this marks his first and only marriage. While they tied the knot just 8 years ago, they'd been dating for a very long time before that ... first being linked way back in '05.
As they first indicated in their statement when they announced their split, they're "freeing each other to be who we are learning to become." JM and LB are committed to co-parenting.

Ghislaine Maxwell Prince Andrew Accuser's Story Doesn't Line Up ... Lawyer Claims
Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer is sounding the alarms regarding the woman who claims she had sex with Prince Andrew ... saying she changed her story and something obviously doesn't add up.
According to new docs, obtained by TMZ, attorney Philip Barden says accuser Virginia Giuffre's past claims about Prince Andrew clearly demonstrate she told a lie.
Barden says the proof is her changing story about the alleged encounter with Prince Andrew, saying Giuffre claimed in 2014 that she didn't have sex with the Duke of York, but then claimed she did have sex with him "in what can only be described as a very small bathtub, too small for a man of Prince Andrew's size to enjoy a bath in let alone sex."
From Barden's perspective, Giuffre can't have it both ways ... saying "She was either lying when she said they did not have sex or when she said they did."
Giuffre claimed the alleged sexual assault started in Maxwell's tub and eventually moved to the bedroom when she was 17 years old. Prince Andrew settled a lawsuit with Giuffre in 2022, but has denied her allegations.
As you know, there have been mountains of docs that have been unsealed recently regarding Epstein, and lots of big names like Stephen Hawking, Bill Clinton, and many more have been seen in the released materials.
In a bombshell claim from Johanna Sjöberg, another alleged former victim, she claimed Epstein told her, "Clinton likes them young,' referring to girls."

Judge Attacker Back In Court, Faces Same Robe at Bench Gets Hard Time Behind Bars
The man who brazenly attacked a Las Vegas judge was back in court to finally be given his sentencing ... and it was handed down by the exact same judge he took down last week.
Deobra Redden faced Judge Mary Kay Holthus in Clark County District Court Monday, donning a face mask and covers over his hands ... as well as guards on either side of him. Probably for good reason considering what happened the last time around.
Safe to say they're making sure there's no repeat attack here -- as we reported, Redden shockingly dove over the raised bench to attack Judge Holthus last week while she was gearing up to sentence him for his attempted battery conviction.
Now, as for how Monday's appearance went -- it was thankfully much calmer.
Judge Holthus kept her cool during sentencing, and didn't mention the prior outburst whatsoever ... but she did hit him with a sentence of 19-48 months behind bars, which is apparently what prosecutors were asking for. In other words, no real leniency.
Can't really blame her for throwing the book at him with everything that's gone on.
Remember, Redden was immediately put into isolation after attacking Judge Holthus, classified as a "2C" inmate, which is the most restrictive classification for inmates at the Clark County Jail. The video of him leaping up onto and past the bench to reach her was wild.
On top of all this, Redden's now facing 13 charges in connection with the attack on the judge and is due back in court for that on Tuesday.
Here's hoping the jump scares are kept at a minimum behind bars -- something tells us those wouldn't go over too well where he's going.
