Hollywood Exes

Morena Baccarin says her ex-husband's fear of their kid catching Zika in Brazil is a bogus claim made simply to spite her ... and she just won a court battle over the trip.

In a hearing Thursday, the court found Morena's ex, Austin Chick, waited too long to object to their 3-year-old son flying south of the border to visit his dying great grandmother.

His lawyers were demanding the "Gotham" star get their custody agreement authorized in Brazil to make sure he'd get custody if something happened to Morena during the trip. Morena's team, led by lawyer Samantha Spector, says they tried to resolve that issue, but Austin's camp went radio silent for weeks.

The judge ruled there was no reason to block Morena's trip. She told the court she'd hire top-notch security in Brazil and hunker down in her hotel for extra safety.

Kenya Moore's investing in extensive background checks for all of her future dates, after the nightmare that went down with her ex-BF, Matt Jordan.

We got the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star at LAX Wednesday and she admitted she was in the dark about most of Matt's extensive rap sheet. We found out he's been arrested 4 times ... just this year.

Kenya insists there's NO WAY they'll ever get back together, but what's interesting is ... she does say there's a way Matt can earn back her respect.

Gilbert Arenas got a huge assist from the judge in his child support case ... his monthly payments to his ex were just slashed big time.

Sources close to the former couple tell us ... Gilbert's child support checks to his baby mama, Laura Govan, will now be under $10k a month ... a huge drop from around the $40k he claimed he was paying. Arenas has recently said he's not as rich as everyone thinks ... and apparently there's some truth to that.

Gilbert admittedly has no chill, though ... so he took the opportunity to gloat about his big win in court and troll Laura at the same time.

Sources close to Govan tell us she has no idea why Arenas continues to insult and torment her -- since she's not doing it to him -- but all she wants now is for him to leave her alone.

John Mayer celebrated Taylor Swift's birthday not by throwing a party, but by throwing MAJOR shade her way.

John tweeted a not-so-subtle diss at his ex Tuesday -- her 27th born day -- calling it "the lamest day of the year." He pulled the classic post-and-delete ... which only makes it more obvious it was a shot at Taylor.

Dear John clearly still has some bad blood with T Swift.

On a happier note -- happy birthday, Taylor? Belatedly.

Lena Headey got a HUGE pay raise on "Game of Thrones" and is now making more than $1 million PER EPISODE ... so claims her ex-husband, who's got plans for that extra dough.

Peter Loughran just filed new docs asking the court to make Lena pay his legal fees in their nasty custody battle -- to the tune of $40k. He says it's only fair, since he's jobless and Lena's sleeping on a bed of 'GoT' cash.

It's interesting ... there were reports Lena was set to make upwards of $500k per episode for season 7, but Peter obviously thinks she's making more than double that already.

A woman claiming to be Katt Williams' ex now wants a judge to 86 all record of what she considers a legal union, but Katt insists there's nothing to wipe clean.

Eboni Gray filed to annul her alleged domestic partnership with Katt. She claims they were together, in the eyes of the law, from 2010 to 2011. In the docs, she asks for spousal support, which is odd since annulments don't typically end up with either party getting money.

It's like asking the court to declare nothing ever happened, but still demanding money for the thing that never happened. Makes no sense.

Eboni says she wants the annulment because Katt was of "unsound mind" while they were together -- but a source close to Katt tells us she's the one off her rocker. We're told Eboni worked for Katt during his comedy tour back then, but only for one week.

Kenya Moore's ex is entering Lindsay Lohan and DMX territory after racking up at least 4 arrests within the last year ... TMZ has learned.

We obtained police docs in Georgia that show Matt Jordan's first bust came in March when he was pulled over for swerving, but got arrested on an outstanding warrant.

Next up, 2 arrests in June! The first for speeding and driving on a suspended license -- and just 2 days later he was back in cuffs for a failure to appear warrant.

He saved the best, or worst, for last. In September, Jordan was driving past cops and allegedly shouted homophobic slurs at them. Things escalated and officers ended up firing a Taser into his back, which they say he ripped out and fled into the woods. Cops went to his car, found his ID and arrested him 4 days later for felony obstruction and misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

Kenya's also accused him of throwing her clothes out of her house during an argument, damaging her property, breaking into her garage and spray-painting her security cameras. Jordan was not arrested for those alleged incidents.

Jordan's recently claimed his relationship with the "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star was mostly fake, and producers just portrayed him as the crazy bf.

Sherri Shepherd's ex-husband and baby daddy says the comedian is making a lot more cash, and he's asking for a bigger chunk of that change for child support payments.

Lamar Sally -- who has a 2-year-old son with Shepherd -- just filed docs in L.A. saying Sherri's $4,100 a month just ain't cuttin' it. Sally says when their deal was first made, it was under the belief Sherri raked in just over $1 mil a year ... but now he says he believes her income's closer to $3 mil.

Lamar claims their son has a medical condition that requires plenty of expensive medical treatment. He claims Sherri's acting gigs, stand-up career and 3% profit grab in a wig company are her main money makers.

Sally's also asking for $75k to cover legal expenses from their nasty divorce.

You'll remember -- the two went back and forth for over a year regarding the surrogate child -- with Sherri asking to be broken of all ties to the kid.

Brad Pitt thinks he's getting the short end of the stick when it comes to his visitation time with his kids, and has a plan to change that -- but unfortunately for him, their child therapists don't agree.

Brad and Angelina Jolie's lawyers filed a series of emails for Wednesday morning's hearing. In one of them his attorney, Lance Spiegel, says despite Brad complying with every aspect of the child therapy process ... "the therapy team has ignored or disregarded issues that [Brad] has raised." He's not specific about the issues.

It's clear from the docs Brad is frustrated by the limited amount of time he gets with his 6 kids ... 1 visit per week. The issue is, Brad signed a temporary custody deal months ago in which he agreed -- along with Angelina -- they would both let the therapists call the shots.

The emails from Brad's attorney suggest he's trying to circumvent that deal. In fact, Spiegel says "Regardless of [the therapists'] views, there is no reason for Brad not to request court orders" for more access to the kids.

In late November, Brad's lawyer asked if Angelina would agree to the following schedule in December:

- one session with the twins (Knox and Vivienne)
- one session with the middle kids (Zahara and Shiloh)
- one session with the twins AND the middle kids
- one session with the older kids (Maddox and Pax)

The sessions would be monitored and 30-60 minutes long. Spiegel adds, if Maddox and Pax don't want to see him ... Brad wants an extra session with the other 4 kids.

Angelina's team turned down the offer. Her attorney, Laura Wasser, fired off a very firm response saying Brad's team is ignoring what therapists feel is best for the kids. She implores them to give the therapists a chance to "tell us how the kids are feeling."

As we reported, Brad was shut down in his effort to keep the case sealed ... but it's now clear from these emails he's determined to spend more time with his brood, ASAP.

Evelyn Lozada says she's still deeply affected by the domestic violence incident with her ex-husband Chad Johnson ... saying, "It stays with you forever."

Lozada was on "The Real" (airs Wednesday) talking about domestic violence when she opened up about the 2012 incident -- in which the ex-NFL star headbutted her during an argument in Florida.

Lozada got extremely emotional ... and shared this warning with other women, "If it happens once we know it's gonna happen again."

Evelyn has said she forgives Chad -- who has apologized countless times -- but says she doesn't want him to be a part of her life.

Sorry Little Monsters, Lady Gaga and ex-fiance Taylor Kinney are not back together -- despite a pic of him with her mom -- the exes are just doing the conscious uncoupling thing.

Gaga and Kinney called it quits in July after 5 years together, so fans freaked when he showed up on Gaga's Instagram this week. Sources tell us they still have a great relationship and talk from time to time.

Kinney happened to be in NYC and found out Gaga's Born This Way Foundation was doing the Shared Kindness event at 30 Rock. Gaga's in Europe but her mom, Cynthia, helps run the foundation and Taylor offered to help her out.

Gaga was moved enough to post the pic of them at the fundraiser.

This COULDA been super awkward ... but Alex Rodriguez apparently played it cool when his girlfriend reconnected with her billionaire ex-husband Sunday night ... at an event PACKED with powerful nerds.

Of course, A-Rod is dating Anne Wojcicki -- who was married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin until they split in 2015.

But it seems they're on good (or at least decent) terms because they didn't just hang out at the event last night ... they teamed up onstage and addressed the crowd at one point during the awards ceremony.

FYI, Brin is reportedly worth more than $30 BILLION.

A-Rod and Wojcicki started dating earlier this year. Brin attended the event with his girlfriend, Nicole Shanahan ... an accomplished lawyer/business mogul (who also happens to be smoking hot).

The event itself was wall-to-wall rich people and celebs ... including Mark Zuckerberg, Vin Diesel, Kevin Durant and more.

Ryan Seacrest is doing some backpedaling with his ex-GF, Shayna Taylor.

They broke up about 2 years ago, but looked like they were very much back on Sunday during a bike ride on Venice Beach.

We're told they're not officially a thing again ... yet, but Shayna was his date to Guess co-founder Paul Marciano's wedding in Bora Bora over Thanksgiving weekend.

Maybe Seacrest's finally got himself a ride or die.

Kevin Hart's ex-wife, Torrei, has rebounded with a new man.

Torrei's rep confirms she's been dating Jamal Woolard -- best known for playing Biggie Smalls in "Notorious," "All Eyez on Me" and seemingly every other movie about Notorious B.I.G.

We're told they've been together for 2 months, and clicked after meeting on the set of "Turnt." Torrei co-starred and co-produced the flick, while Jamal co-stars and is the executive producer. So, yeah ... they spent a lot of time together.

Kevin and Torrei divorced in 2011, and although it was messy at first ... they're on great terms now.

FUN FACT: Jamal's 6'3" ... nearly a full foot taller than Kev. Good luck, Torrei!

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard finally hammered out their divorce settlement, and the charities she promised to fund will get their cash ... with a slight delay.

Sources connected to the exes tell us Johnny will pay Amber $6.8 million -- that's the $7 mil originally agreed upon, minus the $200k he already donated to the ACLU and Children's Hospital L.A. in her name. We're told she'll get all the money within about 12 months.

Amber will then follow through on her vow to donate ALL of her settlement dough. We're told she'll make multiple payments to CHLA and the ACLU ... with the plan being to pay the full amount by the end of 2018.

Sources not connected with Amber are scoffing, saying they don't think the charities will ever get the money.

Bottom line -- Johnny will get a charitable tax write-off for $200k, Amber will write-off her $6.8 mil worth of donations ... and they can both put the nightmare marriage and divorce behind them.

Bethenny Frankel's ex-husband is bristling over threats by her current boyfriend to sue him for trashing her in emails, saying he's forced to interact with the BF because the guy's constantly around his daughter.

Jason Hoppy fired off a letter to the lawyer for Dennis Shields, who threatened to sue Hoppy claiming he was sending a flurry of disgusting, harassing emails to Bethenny and cc'ing him.

Hoppy, who Shields claimed sent emails calling Bethenny ugly, old and irrelevant, never specifically disputed the content of what he sent, but he did say, "As a concerned father, I often have to contact others when I cannot reach my daughter through her mother."

Hoppy goes on to say as long as Shields is in his daughter's life, "I have no choice but to have some type of relationship with him."
