Celebrity Divorce

Wendy Williams' estranged husband is seeking a boatload of money from her -- in the form of alimony and more ... TMZ has learned.

Kevin Hunter filed his response to Wendy's divorce petition, and according to the docs, obtained by TMZ, he wants her to pay him spousal support and also child support for their kid, Kevin Jr.

Junior is 18 now, and will turn 19 in August. Wendy's ex also wants her to foot the bill for their son's college expenses.

Wendy filed for divorce last month in NJ, where they used to live together. The long-expected move came weeks after Kevin's alleged mistress gave birth, and he's believed to be the father.

Kevin was also an executive producer on Wendy's show and was her personal manager. As we reported ... Kevin's since been booted off the show, and Wendy's in the market for a new manager.

Jim Belushi just pulled a 180 on his divorce case, filing for it to be dismissed in court ... TMZ has learned.

Jim filed legal docs requesting the case to be dismissed and the judge has signed off on it ... this according to court records. As we reported back in March 2018 ... Jim's wife, Jennifer Sloan, filed for divorce after almost 20 years of marriage.

She had previously cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their separation. They had already had an existing custody arrangement in place for their 17-year-old son, Jared.

"90 Day Fiance" star Colt Johnson's tumultuous relationship with Larissa is finally over ... the judge signed off on their divorce.

Colt and Larissa agreed on settlement terms for their divorce, and on Tuesday a Nevada judge made it official. As part of the deal, neither will get spousal support, and since they never had kids there are no custody issues.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, Colt and Larissa agreed not to "slander, defame, disparage or communicate untruths." As you know by now ... Colt and Larissa kinda didn't get along.

As we reported, Colt filed for divorce from Larissa back in January just hours after she was busted for domestic violence, her third such arrest. The incident went down just 7 months after they got married.

You'll recall ... Larissa flew into a rage and allegedly punched Colt in the face, leaving him with a bloody mouth, after she found out he bought porn. Larissa tried flipping the script ... accusing him of being violent but cops determined scratches on her stomach were self-inflicted so they arrested her instead.

Not long after ... Colt's mom reportedly paid the divorce filing fee so he can end the marriage.

Tamar Braxton is dying to be single right away ... and she's asking a court to change her marital status ASAP.

Tamar is going through a divorce with estranged husband Vincent Herbert ... and according to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Tamar wants to be officially single, even if the court has not yet finalized the split of the former couple's assets.

In the docs, Tamar says she believes, "there is nothing the Court can do to salvage or repair the marriage."

We broke the story ... Tamar filed for divorce way back in October 2017 after nearly 9 years of marriage.

Something about "Purple Rain" speaks to Nicolas Cage's soul, because he hit up the same karaoke bar twice in 3 nights for 2 emotional renditions of Prince's hit ... which is now Nic's anthem.

We got this new vid of him pouring it all out on stage at what's clearly his favorite joint in L.A.'s Koreatown, and this time around it's way more over-the-top, angry and demonstrative than the first clip we got earlier this week.

This performance went down last Friday, and you see Nic pacing around the room during what we'll graciously call ... his impassioned delivery of Prince's classic. We gotta say, he really went ALL out this time -- especially compared to his Sunday night gig.

Seems he toned it down a bit for the encore, but ya can't blame the guy for pouring his heart into the microphone ... he's going through some stuff. As we told you, Nicolas is trying to annul his recent quickie marriage of 4 days.

Some people pay $200/hr for a psychologist -- Nic prefers free karaoke therapy. Well, plus the cost of drinks, we're presuming.

Nic quickly soured on his new wife, Erika Koike, and filed for an annulment. He says they were bombed when they got hitched in Vegas and it was just the spur of the moment. There were signs the union was doomed ... Nic and Erika were fighting before AND after they tied the knot.

Erika sees it another way ... she claims their marriage still counts and she wants his spousal support.

Wendy Williams is taking several steps -- professionally and personally -- to erase her estranged husband from her life, and she got the ball rolling even before serving him divorce papers.

Sources close to Wendy tell TMZ ... she's totally cut Kevin Hunter off from her money and has hired a team to ensure all of her finances are secure. We're told she's separated their funds and created new accounts ... a process that began before she filed for divorce.

Wendy's officially locked down her own place in Manhattan, as well. Our sources say she signed the lease on her new home a few weeks ago and has already paid rent for the next year.

She and Kevin previously lived together at their home in New Jersey. That's where that weird story went down in January ... when, as we told you, cops conducted a welfare check on Wendy.

As for business matters -- we're told Wendy waffled over whether to keep a professional relationship with Hunter, but ultimately decided to cut all ties. She's currently looking for a new manager.

Sources connected to Kevin tell us he hasn't received any money from the show following his departure. Not yet.

We're told he's known as a pretty savvy business guy, so show execs fully expect he'll insist on some kind of exit package.

Nicolas Cage had something he clearly wanted to get off his chest when he hit up a karaoke bar ... because his rendition of "Purple Rain" was ... emotional.

Nic was at a joint Sunday in L.A.'s Koreatown when he tried his hand and vocal cords on the classic Prince song, and we're guessing the performance was fueled by his desire to annul his recent marriage of 4 days.

As we've reported ... Nic got sick and tired of his new wife, Erika Koike and filed for an annulment. He says they were wasted when they tied the knot in Vegas, and acted on impulse. There were signs it wasn't going to end well ... they got into a heated argument before walking down the aisle.

Erika doesn't see it that way ... she says the marriage was legit, she claims Nic asked her to come back to him, and she wants spousal support.

As for "Purple Rain" ... Prince once broke it down like this, "Purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/God guide you through the purple rain.”

1:12 PM PT -- Michael tells TMZ after filing, he and his wife took their daughter to lunch to show her they are still very much a family. He says, "We continue to work together to put our kids first."

Michael Fishman, famous for playing Roseanne Barr's TV son, is getting divorced from his wife after nearly 20 years of marriage.

The actor's wife, Jennifer Briner, filed divorce docs Monday and her divorce petition was accompanied by Michael's response.

It's the next step for Michael and Jennifer. She previously filed for legal separation. It's still unclear what led to the split.

By the way ... it really makes no difference who filed for divorce -- it has no legal impact -- but Hollywood is all about perception, and Michael's wife made the first move.

Michael and Jennifer got married way back in 1999, when he was just 18 years old. The former couple has 2 children together, including A 16-year-old daughter.

Michael rose to fame as a child actor playing D.J. Conner on "Roseanne" from 1988-97, and he reprised the role for last year's reboot.

Nicolas Cage's estranged wife doesn't give a damn they were only married for half a week before he filed for an annulment -- she says it still counts ... and she wants his money.

Erika Koike filed legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- responding to the actor filing for an annulment last month just 4 days after they were wed in Las Vegas. As we told you ... Cage claims he "reacted on impulse and without the ability to recognize or understand the full impact of his actions," and also says the marriage was based on fraud.

Koike calls BS, claiming Nic's impulsive actions don't qualify for an annulment. As for the alleged fraud, she says Cage asked her to start again "in the right way" just 12 days after filing for an annulment ... proving their relationship's legit.

Here's the thing ... Erika agrees the 2 aren't fit for marriage and should get a divorce, but she wants SPOUSAL SUPPORT!!! According to the docs ... she says she lost career opportunities during her long relationship with Cage and her reputation's been damaged by his allegations.

She's also asking him to pay for her legal fees.

As we reported ... Nic and Erika got hitched on March 23, but were seen having an apparently heated argument moments before the wedding. They began dating in April 2018.

Adele and her husband, Simon Konecki, just announced some shocking news ... they've separated after more than 7 years together.

The pop singer's reps announced the split Friday night in a statement to the Associated Press ... saying, "Adele and her partner have separated. They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment."

The last time we saw Adele and Simon together in public was back in January when they were photographed arriving backstage at an Elton John concert at Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles.

4:43 PM PT -- In the divorce docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Camp lists "irreconcilable difference" as the cause for the split. Anna isn't asking the court to award any sort of spousal support.

"Pitch Perfect" stars Anna Camp and Skylar Astin's marriage hit a sour note somewhere along the line -- she's filed divorce docs, making their split official.

Anna filed the petition Friday in L.A. Superior Court ... a few hours after their reps confirmed they were breaking up. Anna, who starred in all 3 'PP' flicks, and Skylar -- who appeared in 2 of them -- have been married for more than 2-and-a-half years.

They tied the knot in September 2016, surrounded by friends at a Santa Ynez, CA winery.

It seems things started to get rocky earlier this year. Their last public outing together came back in October ... at a Disney event in Los Angeles.

The last time they posted anything on social media together was in January -- one of them getting cozy for New Year.

A few weeks later she posted some shots of them dancing, but after that ... nada.

This was Skylar's first shot at marriage and Anna's second. So much for successful sequels.

People first reported the couple was breaking up.

They released a joint statement saying, "We can confirm that we have decided to separate, and this decision was made mutually and amicably."

Matt Barnes is FED UP with the Derek Fisher jokes ... going scorched earth on an internet troll for heckling him about his old enemy, saying, "He already caught these hands. You can be nxt."

Here's the backstory -- Barnes went to Twitter on Thursday to talk about the Warriors and Clippers game, saying "Hopefully y’all will stop w this PatBev locking up or shutting down KD.. Only person that can stop KD is Westbrook."

Harmless tweet, right? Except, of course, someone had to disagree. After all, this *is* the internet we're talking about ... and the troll had to reference Barnes' infamous incident with the then-Knicks coach.

"This exactly why Derek Fisher be f*cking ya baby momma you slow corny motherf*cker f*ck you for ruining all those Lob City squads with your sh*tty defense," the troll said to Barnes.

Anyone who knows Barnes knows the dude ain't gonna ignore that, so he hit the troll back with "After you done being mad go wash that green off your neck from that fake ass chain B*tch!"

The troll's response is a bit too NSFW to post word-for-word ... so we'll just say he mentioned Fisher and Barnes' ex-wife, Gloria Govan, again ... as well as calling him out for not being in the league anymore.

Barnes' response?? "I retired d*ckhead.. 15yrs & still being paid until November 2020! You gotta do better than DFish jokes. He already caught these hands. You can be nxt "

Wendy Williams is removing all traces of her estranged husband from her show ... because Kevin Hunter's name has already been scrubbed from the credits.

There was a noticeable difference in the ending credits on Friday's episode of the 'Wendy Williams Show' ... Kevin's name was missing as an executive producer, and Wendy's stood alone.

As we reported ... Kevin was not long for his role as an executive producer, and on Thursday the ax officially dropped. When Thursday's episode aired, though, he was still credited as an EP.

But now, 24 hours later, Kevin's name is nowhere to be found.

Wendy Williams no longer has to deal with her estranged husband, at least when it comes to her TV show ... TMZ has learned.

As we told you Tuesday ... Kevin Hunter wasn't going to be one of the show's executive producers much longer, and the ax officially dropped Thursday.

A spokesperson for the show tells us, "Kevin Hunter is no longer an executive producer on 'The Wendy Williams Show.'"

We broke the story ... Wendy and Kevin were in the process of reaching an "accord" where he'd step down as EP. We're told there were no issues with his job duties, but Williams was suffering from distress from his presence on set, due to issues in their relationship.

Hunter, you'll recall, allegedly fathered a child with his mistress, and Wendy filed for divorce last week and announced on her show that she was focused on the future and a "whole new life" with her son.

Wendy Williams is uneasy with the fact her estranged husband, Kevin Hunter, is still working on the set of her show -- so much so, she's decided to keep extra bodyguards on hand 'til he's out.

Sources connected to production tell TMZ ... Wendy has retained 3 full-time security guards to stand watch while she preps for and shoots her daily talk show, on which Kevin is still an executive producer, if only temporarily. We're told the extra muscle is with her day-to-day.

We're told Wendy initially hired a personal security team about a week before she served him with divorce papers because there had been a number of blowups between them leading up to her filing. In at least one instance, our sources say things got so heated, Kevin had to be restrained.

As we first told you ... Wendy's unit was on set when Kevin got served with papers. He didn't lose it at the time, but for obvious reasons ... we're told Wendy feared something could go down.

While Kevin is still technically working on the show as an EP, our sources tell us he won't be there for long. We're told the parties are trying to come to an "accord" that would allow him to step down.

Kevin -- who just allegedly fathered a baby with another woman -- issued a statement this week saying he takes full responsibility for his recent actions and is entering a time of serious self-reflection.

4/18, 8:46 AM PT -- According to the divorce docs, obtained by TMZ, Lynne is requesting spousal support. She lists their official date of separation as January 19, 2012.

Former 'Real Housewife' Lynne Curtin is giving divorce a second chance ... refiling to break from her husband after snoozing on her first go-around.

Lynne -- a "Real Housewives of Orange County" vet from seasons 4 and 5 -- just filed new court docs to divorce her estranged husband, Frank Curtin. They've been married for nearly 30 years, but clearly hit a rough patch in 2012 ... when she tried this the first time.

That one didn't stick because both parties sat on the case and a judge dismissed the attempted divorce in late 2017. It's unclear why Lynne and Frank took no action in their divorce for 5 years -- it's possible they just ignored it while attempting to work things out, and fully reconciled the marriage.

What is clear with the new filing is that Lynn wants out now.

They have 2 kids together, but they're both adults now ... so there won't be any child support issues.

That's assuming they actually go through with the big D this time.
