Christine Quinn's husband is throwing in the towel on their marriage -- capping off weeks of volatility between them that's resulted in him being taken to jail ... and dueling TRO requests.

The "Selling Sunset" star's estranged hubby Christian Dumontet just filed to divorce his wife -- and it looks like he might've gotten ahead of her own filing ... as we know Christine herself has been mulling pulling the plug as well.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Christian is citing irreconcilable differences as the reason he's filing ... and he's also asking for sole legal and physical custody of their son.

Akon says he doesn't party enough to know the ins and outs of Diddy's party scene, but he's hoping the truth comes out, for everyone involved, and perhaps ... the industry learns a few lessons.

TMZ spoke to Akon Friday at LAX, and the multi-platinum hitmaker tells us the constant scandals in the music industry are simply bad for business.

Diddy was spotted in Miami all smiles while out for a bicycle ride earlier this week, and Akon says the best everyone can do is shower Puff with prayers ... and leave it in God's hands.

Abby Lee Miller is all in for JoJo Siwa's "Bad Girl" persona ... and she's loving her brand-spankin' new music video too ... which comes part and parcel with her edgy rebrand.

The famed dance instructor tells TMZ she's seen JoJo's new video for "Karma" ... and even with some of the sassier, gyrating dance moves ... she doesn't think it was too graphic or crossed the line -- in fact, Abby says she thinks JS played it relatively safe.

As for the costumes in the video that some fans said Abby would never approve of, ALM's flipping the script ... saying she absolutely loves them ... quipping to the haters if she could've afforded costumes like that for "Dance Moms," she 100% would have in a heartbeat.

Sarah Jessica Parker says she wasn't allowed to eat junk food growing up -- but she's not making the same mistake with her own kids ... letting 'em pig out as they please.

The actress revealed as much on a recent episode of "Ruthie's Table 4" pod, saying she didn't want her 13-year-old daughters to feel like food was the enemy or go nuts when they left the nest by pounding down sweets ... a problem she admits she dealt with in her youth.

Listen for yourself ... SJP says her parents wouldn't let her have dessert in their house growing up -- and she did a total 180 once she moved out on her own.

The parents of those who claim to have been victimized on 'Quiet on Set' had no real shot to protect their kids -- so says Soledad O'Brien, who slams the industry.

We talked to the veteran journo -- who's set to host a moderated convo with some of those who were interviewed on 'Quiet on Set' in a new episode airing this weekend -- and she gives us her two cents about where some of the parents land in this equation in terms of blame.

She gives us an interesting take ... while she says many in the public believe some of these child stars might've been groomed at Nickelodeon ... Soledad argues the parents were too.

J. Cole's rap battle with Kendrick Lamar might bring some new heat for the Dreamvillain, who's now being accused of dropping transphobic lyrics in his clap back at Kendrick.

Cole bombs K Dot on "7 Minute Drill," the last track of "Might Delete Later" ... the surprise album he dropped Friday -- but fans are also dissecting his bars on the track, "Pi."

Without warning Cole targeted a rapper who dropped a trash album, and spit the damning lyrics ... "They plead the fifth, I'm seeing hints of a trans fella/In cancel culture's vicinity, he's no killer, trust me/Beneath his chosen identity, there is still a pussy, period.”

Angelina Jolie is unnecessarily making a big fuss over a non-disclosure agreement Brad Pitt wanted her to sign ... at least according to Brad who says she, and all celebs, sign these all the time.

The exes are still warring over Miraval, the French winery they co-own, and Brad just filed docs in that dispute ... refuting Angie's claim she walked away from an agreement to sell her share of the winery to Brad, because he insisted she sign a strict NDA.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Brad doesn't deny wanting her to sign one, but he says there's nothing onerous or broad about the NDA he presented her. In fact, he says it's pretty rich for Angelina to complain, because her lawyer "proposed an even broader, mutual non-disparagement clause" to Brad in connection with their divorce.

Michael Jackson's production company wants to stop two of his accusers from getting their hands on police photos that may include images of his private parts -- but they say they have every right to obtain the material.

John Carpenter -- the attorney repping Wade Robson and James Safechuck -- tells TMZ ... "The Los Angeles Police Department and Santa Barbara Police Department gave Michael Jackson and their legal team including Thomas Mesereau all of the incriminating evidence showing that Michael Jackson was sexually abusing children and that his corporations knew about it."

John claims Michael Jackson's companies have had this evidence for decades -- and so he believes they're entitled to the same information.

The Ravens and the Orioles are coming together for the city of Baltimore ... donating a combined $10 million to the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse emergency relief fund.

John C. Reilly ain't just your average movie star -- he's got some decent vocal chops to boot ... with this impromptu performance giving us major flashbacks to one of his roles.

The actor cowboyed up on stage at L.A.'s Fonda Theatre Thursday night ... surprising everyone during Sierra Ferrell's country set -- and as you can see, the crowd goes wild for his performance ... which seems to have come out of nowhere.

John was clearly having fun with this ... he's going full-on wacky and animated for this -- and the crowd can't get enough of him, it seems.

NeNe Leakes says she's okay with letting a little infidelity fly, but clarifies ... if you're gonna cheat, at least do it with some class.

Yup, you heard right -- 'RHOA' star Nene explains she's all about the "what you don't know, won't hurt you" philosophy! She was on IG live with Carlos King when she said, if a man's getting down with his side chick on a weekend trip -- and she's none the wiser about it -- that's pretty darn respectful in her eyes.

NeNe elaborates on her cheating etiquette -- saying those who lie to their side pieces by claiming they're the only one, and further, don't tell the side piece to keep a respectful distance from their main squeeze ... are definitely not playing by the rules.

Gerry Turner and his wife Theresa Nist made their long-distance relationship just a tad bit closer this week ... cuddling up after it came out that they were living apart.

The 'Golden Bachelor' stars appear to be hanging out right now -- with TN sharing a short video to her Instagram Story Friday ... where Gerry tossed an arm over her shoulder at a restaurant, where they were joined by a bunch of other people, who appear like past constants and some friends.

Our sources say Theresa had plans to visit Gerry in Indiana this week ... although it's not clear if this clip is from that scheduled trip, or something else entirely. Either way, the two seem very happy to be together again -- which may put those pesky split rumors to bed.

There's a variety of hateful comments being hurled her way ... including people commenting on her appearance, her fashion sensibilities, etc. It's all very mean-spirited, and awful.

Universal Music Group is facing a new lawsuit ... and it all has to do with Mary J. Blige's most famous song -- which someone is now claiming illegally sampled an old jam.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, a company called TufAmerica, Inc. -- which owns Tuff City Records -- is suing the music publishing giant, claiming it sampled their song "Impeach the President" in MJB's "Real Love" without getting permission.

"Real Love" allegedly uses an uncleared sample from "Impeach the President" in both a sound recording and the musical composition. Tuff City claims they've reached out to UMG over the issue, but Universal hasn't addressed their concerns ... so, now they're suing.

Drea recalls asking him once, "Do you like that jacket you just asked me to buy you? You like all the things that you want that make you happy? You like that new PC that you begged for for Christmas? Because you wouldn't have that s*** if Mommy didn't show her ass!"
