Chelsea Lazkani's estranged husband wants a judge to legally end their marriage ... saying the couple hasn't come to a divorce settlement, but he's ready to move on with his life.

Jeff Lazkani -- in the midst of a messy divorce with the "Selling Sunset" star -- filed a motion to officially terminate his union with Chelsea ... saying the two haven't been able to come to a settlement in the seven months since CL filed for divorce.

Lazkani says proceeding to bifurcate status will help streamline the divorce ... a case which can take many years to finalize.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are trying to keep their divorce civil ... attending the same event with their fam -- including Ben's ex Jennifer Garner!

Zayn Malik's still reeling from Liam Payne's death ... announcing moments ago he's postponing his "Stairway to the Sky" tour after the "heartbreaking loss" this week.

Donald Trump is immune to the one thing Democrats hope will take him down next month ... according to Bill Maher, who's explaining why there's no "October Surprise" coming to help Kamala Harris.

Bill's new episode of 'Real Time' featured a brief history of so-called bombshell news coming shortly before Election Day, and upending one candidate's run at the White House -- but he quickly pointed out that's no concern for Trump.

The reason ... how can anything be seen as shocking about Trump, when the country's grown used to shocking statements and behavior from him? Things like the "grab 'em in the p***y" audio and Jan. 6 are the norm, so ya can't be surprised ... that's Bill's theory, anyway, and it makes a lot of sense.

Liam Payne stayed in one other hotel before checking into the one where he died, and did party pretty hard while there -- but, despite reports, it wasn't enough to get him kicked out of the fancy spot.

Liam and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy were staying at the Palacio Duhau Park Hyatt in Buenos Aires during the week prior to his death, and a staffer there tells TMZ ... the couple was definitely in celebratory vacay mode.

We're told Liam did get "pretty drunk" on some nights, but he was never belligerent. In fact, he was, at least, trying to be entertaining ... as he would sometimes sing in the lobby.

A Marine Corps vet's effort to highlight the crisis of soldiers dying by suicide nearly got her booted from a Delta flight ... and she was forced to change her clothing before take-off.

Catherine Banks, who served 8 years in the Marines, says she was on a Delta flight in San Francisco earlier this week, when she says a flight attendant walked up to her and said, "You need to get off the plane."

She says he told her the shirt she was wearing was "threatening." The t-shirt had a print that read, "Do Not Give in to the War Within ... End Veteran Suicide.”

Shawn Mendes was so overcome with emotion over the death of Liam Payne ... the singer paused his NYC concert Friday night to pay tribute to his pal.

Shawn was performing at the Brooklyn Paramount Theatre when he took a moment to tell the crowd that the One Direction star was a "beautiful soul" ... and the shocking news of his death was "devastating."

SM emotionally lamented ... “Liam, we love you. The world is crying for you, brother. And we’re all praying for your son and your family, and I miss you, man. So this one’s for you tonight, Liam, from all of us.”

A car full of alleged scammers in NYC is going viral for what appears to be an outlandish attempt at insurance fraud -- and the woman who says she was their target captured it all on dashcam.

Here's the deal ... footage posted on TikTok by Ashpia Natasha -- which has racked up 35 million views -- shows her slamming on the brakes after a car pulled in front of her on the Belt Parkway in Queens and suddenly stopped short.

After a couple of beats, the lead car reverses quickly ... slamming into the front end of Ashpia's car. The end result looks like a violent rear-ender took place.

Liam Payne's sister has broken her silence after the tragic death of the One Direction star ... and her message is absolutely devastating.

Ruth Gibbins posted a lengthy statement to her Instagram page along with several sweet photos of the siblings -- all to express how much she loved her brother and her unbearable pain, which included, "I'm sorry I couldn't save you."

She began with, "I don't believe this is happening. Many times have I poured my heart out publicly with pride about Liam but never much about life as his sister ... Liam is my best friend."

Taylor Swift's final leg of her epic "Eras" tour is off and running after after a two-month hiatus -- and the Miami concert drew some major celebs.

Taylor swooped in to perform at the Hard Rock Stadium, with the likes of retired NFL star Tom Brady, tennis great Serena Williams and "Today" cohosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie all enjoying the show.

Just before the gig, Tom posted a photo with his 2 sons, Jack and Benjamin — and the happy trio was all smiles. Tom wrote in the caption, "Boys night at the Eras Tour."

Former NFL star Eddie Lacy is fortunate he didn't hurt himself or anyone else on the night of his DUI arrest last month ... 'cause cops claim he was driving around with a blood alcohol content level over FOUR TIMES the legal limit.

The Scottsdale Police Dept. says it all happened back on Sept. 30 ... after a woman dialed 911 and told dispatch that someone matching Lacy's Audi SUV description was driving so erratically, she was worried they were "going to kill somebody."

According to an SPD police report, obtained by TMZ Sports, cops pulled over Lacy in his Q8 a short time after the call was received ... and almost immediately, officers noticed something was off about the ex-Green Bay Packers tailback.

7:40 PM PT -- Although police say Liam's behavior sounds consistent with that of "cristal" users, they still don't know if that drug was present in the room. We're told they're still waiting for test results on the narcotics and medications they recovered.

Liam Payne was potentially under the influence of a potent drug, known to cause psychotic attacks and hallucinations, when he died ... according to police in Argentina.
