'RHONJ' Star Danielle Staub Cops Respond to NJ Home Remove Estranged Hubby Marty

'Real Housewives' star Danielle Staub just got her estranged husband, Marty Caffrey, the hell outta the house ... TMZ has learned.

Sources familiar with the situation tell us police in Englewood, NJ responded to Danielle's home Thursday for a domestic disturbance involving Marty. We're told cops removed Marty, but did not arrest him or charge him with any crime.

Sources close to Danielle tell TMZ ... she went to cops Wednesday night seeking a protective order against Marty, and it was granted Thursday. We're told she feels he is putting her through "emotional torment." There haven't been any physical or direct threats as far as we've heard, but we're told Danielle thinks he's "toying" with her while they've continued living together during a nasty divorce.

Specifically, our sources say Danielle believes Marty has purposely loosened light bulbs, turned off power and cut off hot water sporadically just to screw with her. We're told he has another place where he could live while they hash things out in court, but insists on staying in their home.

Danielle thinks he's trying to drag out the divorce because he's shot down 4 offers to settle ... according to our sources.

As for Marty ... he's denied messing with Danielle -- like when he allegedly listed their home without her knowledge. Marty acknowledges that he received the protective order, but says that it's ridiculous.

Danielle and Marty just got hitched back in May. So much for newlywed bliss.

Diddy Sources Cassie Betrayed Him by Sleeping with Trainer ... She Calls BS

Diddy might want to ask for a refund from his former trainer ... because sources claim the guy he hired to keep Cassie in shape was banging her on his dime ... but she says his timeline is wrong.

Here's what we're told. Diddy's trainer, Jamal Liggin, got so busy he hired several trainers as backup, including Alex Fine. Diddy tagged Alex to train Cassie over the last year.

As we reported, Diddy and Cassie broke up several months ago after a decade-long relationship, but our sources claim Cassie and Alex hooked up before the split. We're told what especially galls Diddy ... he paid Alex to train his then-girlfriend and feels betrayed.

Cassie sure seems smitten with Alex. She has not ever publicly talked about a timeline, but we're told Diddy is convinced there's an overlap.

Sources connected to Alex and Cassie insist the two did NOT start dating until after she broke up with Diddy.

Diddy has bigger issues to deal with, like raising his 3 children after the death of Kim Porter in November. Diddy was destroyed when Kim died, saying they were more than soulmates.

Ariana Grande Who Am I Dating NOW??? No One in 2019, Or Ever Again (Probs)

Ariana Grande is about that single life heading into the new year, and probably for the rest of her days ... according to her, anyway.

Ari responded to an article on Tuesday which speculated on who she's been seeing lately by hilariously tweeting, "can they tell me too?" She followed up with, "spoiler for the rest of this year / probably my life: it's no one. please refer back to this tweet for future questions."

It goes without saying ... AG's had it rough this year in the love department. She called off her engagement with 'SNL' star Pete Davidson ... and, of course, her ex, Mac Miller, tragically died of an accidental overdose from a mix of fentanyl and cocaine.

Ariana seems to be joking about the never dating again thing, but her point is coming through loud and clear ... her dating life shouldn't be the subject of such scrutiny in 2019.

Have you heard her new single yet? It's her ... she's single.

Cassie Curves Diddy Hard ... Posts Pic of Her Kissing New Guy

Diddy might be missing his ex, Cassie, but she sure as hell ain't missing him ... not by the looks of this photo of her kissing another dude, anyway.

This one's tough to swallow if you're a Diddy/Cassie stan and had any hopes of them getting back together. Diddy posted an intimate shot of Cassie on his IG story Friday night ... and the same shot again early Saturday.

The message we're reading from this ... he's still got feelings.

Unfortunately for him, Cassie appears to have moved on with a younger man ... who she revealed on her own Insta account just hours after Diddy put up his tribute. Unclear if this was in direct response to that, but Cassie seems to be sending a message of her own.

The dude in question has reportedly been identified as fitness and health guru Alex Fine. As if the name isn't enough ... he's also a natural born stud. And, now ... Cassie's into him.

Interestingly enough, Cassie was seen with Diddy shortly after Kim Porter died last month ... which sparked rumors they might be rekindling their 10-year relationship following their October split.

Looks like that reunion was just moral support though, 'cause Cassie hasn't been spotted with Diddy since.

C'est la vie.

Sofia Vergara Nick Lives in Louisiana, Eh? Show Me Proof!!!

Sofia Vergara doubts her ex truly lives in Louisiana -- where they're at war over 2 of their frozen embryos -- and now wants a court to force him to prove it.

The "Modern Family" star just filed a new motion in her never-ending legal fight with Nick Loeb, asking a judge to make him fork over documentation to confirm he's a real Pelican State resident, after allegedly refusing to cooperate with her lawyers' requests.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Sofia says Nick's claim that he's settled down in Plaquemines Parish, LA -- a pro-life state that recognizes embryos as human beings -- doesn't pass the smell test, because he hasn't ponied up convincing evidence to support it ... like grocery store receipts, or bank info from the area to show he's got a life there.

Sofia doesn't say it outright, but it's strongly implied she thinks he's full of it, and wants a judge to compel him to hand over paperwork to her legal team.

FWIW ... Nick's lawyers claim he rented a place in PP, LA and is registered to vote, but wouldn't tell us how often he stays at the property, if at all. He also set up a trust fund for the embryos, and has named them Emma and Isabella.

As we reported ... Sofia believes Nick is only suing for control of the embryos as revenge for her dumping him, and that he's out to ruin her marriage to Joe Manganiello.

'OITNB,' 'Weeds,' 'Glow' Creator Jenji Kohan Files for Divorce

Jenji Kohan, the creator of "Weeds," "Orange is the New Black" and "Glow" is ending her marriage, and it sounds like an expensive proposition.

Kohan just filed for divorce against Christopher Noxon, citing irreconcilable differences.

Here's the thing. They've been married for 20 years, before she became famous and super rich, so there's no prenup. Translation -- 50/50.

Kohan's worth a fortune. She signed a deal with Netflix last year to create a number of shows.

Noxon, a writer, who's repped by attorney Lisa Helfend Meyer, is asking for spousal support. Kohan, who's repped by disso queen Laura Wasser, is asking to deny him support.

That sounds like a fight, but there are signs it's actually amicable. Noxon filed his response to the divorce at the same time Kohan filed her docs. That's a strong indication they're working together and the divorce is actually amicable.

The former couple has 2 kids in high school and one in college.

Offset to Cardi B The Way Your Sex Makes Me Feel

122318_offset_kal
FEELING GREAT

Turns out Cardi B missing Offset between the sheets is a mutual feeling -- he's still thinking about sex with her too ... and what sounds like a recent romp has him fee(hee!)ling some type of way.

The Migos rapper just posted a video of himself wearing a mask and dancing to Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" on a balcony ... complete with MJ-inspired crotch grabbing and body popping to boot.

He captioned the post, "P * * * * K N O C K E D M E O F F M Y F E E T B A B Y 9/20 M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S." September 20 is the day they got hitched in a secret ceremony last year. Maybe this is his way of celebrating their 1 year, 3 month-plus anniversary? Or, maybe, he's confirming that they're doing it again. Probably the latter, right?

MISSIN' HIS JOHNSON

You'll recall ... Cardi said just last week that she missed Offset as well -- or at least part of him, anyway. Looks like he received the message loud and clear, 'cause the on-again-off-again couple jetted down to Puerto Rico for her performance and snuck in a little jet ski action ... and probably some bedroom action too.

Cardi -- who didnt' seem very happy we got our hands on those jet skiing pics -- explained her reunion with Offset on Instagram Live, saying quite simply ... "I just had to get f*****. That's all." The video ended with a big smile on her face.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Based on all this, it's clear they banged. And, Offset might very well have been reminded of the fireworks made on the day they both said "I do." No better way to express the feeling than with some Michael magic ... especially if you can pull it off, which he did.

No word yet on whether they'll be linking up for Christmas itself in the wake of their split, but all signs point to another coming-together in the near future.

Kourtney, Sofia & Scott Three's Company In Mexico for the Holidays

Jack, Janet and Chrissy got nothin' on this trio -- Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian and Sofia Richie looked tight as can be in Mexico for the holidays.

The threesome are down in Cabo San Lucas right now enjoying themselves a beach day with Scott and Kourtney's kids, and Sofia tagging along ... which she's done from time to time.

It's a pretty incredible scene -- Kourt and Sofia are seen lying up on the some chairs, side-by-side ... and they even go on a stroll with Scott at one point on the sand. No signs of tension, hostility ... nothin'. Just your run-of-the-mill modern day co-parenting at its finest.

THE GANG'S ALL HERE
TMZ.com

We've even obtained video of them out to dinner together later the same day at place called Edith's. Again, not a hint of animosity between the current/former couple.

Scott and Sofia are obviously still going strong and, from the looks of it, Kourtney's been dipping her foot back into the dating scene as well, with another youngin'.

Relationships in 2019 ... come and knock on their door.

Trina Braxton's Ex-Husband Gabe Solis Dead at 43

12/22 12:50 PM PT -- Trina released a statement on her ex-husband's passing, saying ... "a chapter permanently closed for my sons and I. For over 16 years, Gabe Solis was an essential part of our lives."

She also apologized to friends and family who weren't aware of Gabe's situation and found out through the media ... specifically the Solis Family. Trina added ... "He was a father to my boys, a son, brother, and friend to many and I would appreciate privacy and respect as we grieve his unexpected departure."

Trina Braxton's ex-husband, Gabe Solis, has died after a battle with cancer ... TMZ has learned.

Sources tell us Solis died Thursday in Texas, where he hails from, and we're told he was surrounded by friends and family.

Trina and Gabe wed in 2003 but divorced in 2015, and their on-again, off-again relationship was a frequent topic on the family's reality show -- "Braxton Family Values" -- even after they divorced.

The former couple also appeared on an episode of "Iyanla: Fix My Life" earlier this year -- more than 2 years after their split -- to hash out their issues and work on a plan to finally move on.

In the episode, Gabe confronted Trina about her verbal abuse and bullying and let her know how it affected him during their marriage. Despite their rocky road ... the 2 remained close friends.

We're told Gabe's health issues were kept under wraps and his passing comes as a surprise to many close to the family.

He was 43.

RIP

Cardi B Butts in at Puerto Rico Concert ... Offset Right There!!!

122218_cardi_offset_v2
BOOTY CALL
TMZ.com

Cardi B shook things up in a big way Friday night, and Offset was right there with her.

Cardi rocked the house at the Convention Center in San Juan, Puerto Rico and Offset was cheering her on. We got this video of Offset in a mask leaving the backstage area after Cardi's set. He watched the entire concert from that area.

The video shows Cardi chillin' at one point and Offset is near her in the orange pants.

Goes without saying ... the concert was sold out.

Earlier in the day, we got Cardi and Offset having a blast on a jet ski ... she was in the back holding on tight.

There's no official word of a reconciliation, but it seems Offset's public campaign to win her back has worked. A few days ago, Cardi said she missed her hubby, or at least parts of him.

Paris Hilton Guess What?!? I'm Keeping the $2M Engagement Ring!!!

121918_paris_ring_kal
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER?
SiriusXM

Paris Hilton's got some bad news for her ex ... the MASSIVE engagement ring Chris Zylka got her is staying with her, so she says, but the law is not on her side.

Paris appeared on SiriusXM's "The Jenny McCarthy Show" and dropped some tea on the $2 MILLION bling ring. She says, for reason, the jeweler received millions of dollars in free publicity ... and then went on to declare the ring stays with her.

Here's the problem ... whether the jeweler received free publicity or not is totally irrelevant. Chris is the one who bought the ring, at least that's the party line. Under CA law, if Paris called off the engagement -- which she did -- Chris has a right to get it back. It's called a gift in contemplation of marriage.

There is a wild card ... if the party line is not true -- in other words, if Chris didn't buy the ring and the jeweler fronted it to Paris -- then he has no right to the ring. But, that's not the way this whole thing was spun. There is one other scenario ... maybe Chris is willing to eat the money and he's never demanded the ring back.

BTW ... the ring's a doozy ... it's a massive 20-carat diamond, which took about 4 months to cut.

Ariana Grande Sometimes Life Is Upside Down ... Just Like My Christmas Tree

121818_ariana_kal
TURNED AROUND
SplashNews.com

Ariana Grande is explaining the meaning behind the Christmas tree hanging upside down in her NYC apartment, by relating the odd decoration to a topsy-turvy existence.

Ariana was leaving her apartment building Tuesday when she was asked about her backwards Christmas dec, and her response was somewhat telling of the crazy year she's been through.

As you can see, Ariana turned her Christmas tree on its head, suspending it from the ceiling. And, in the video ... she's hinting her funky tree is a metaphor for a difficult year.

Wearing a black coat with fur trim, Ariana was heading to NBC Studios, this only days after rushing to 30 Rock to try and comfort ex-fiance Pete Davidson, who refused to see her after posting an apparent suicide threat.

Ariana had a trying last few months, even before Pete started posting ominous notes ... she and Pete called off their engagement, she wrote a smash hit about her exes and she lost Mac Miller to a drug overdose.

Ariana's right, sometimes life just be upside down.

'L&HH' Star K. Michelle Idris Elba Gives Great Oral Sex!!!

121718_raq_kal
TAKES HIS JOB SERIOUS
BET

K. Michelle says she learned all sorts of business skills during her relationship with Idris Elba ... but the most important talents he showed her were in the bedroom.

The singer and 'Love & Hip Hop' star sat down with our Raquel Harper for Tuesday's episode of "Raq Rants" on BET, and the conversation suddenly turned to Idris' sexual prowess!

K. Michelle and Idris dated for 8 months back in 2014 before their relationship fizzled out, but it's clear his oral skills still have her head over heels. Sounds like Idris will always have a special place in Michelle's heart, and for good reason.

Watch K. Michelle, Master P, Romeo and Cedric the Entertainer on "Raq Rants," tonight at 11 PM on BET. On the West Coast, if you have Dish or DirecTV, it's on at 8 PM.

Offset 'Take Me Back Cardi' Flowers ... $15,000 Rejection

Offset's latest bid to win Cardi B back with an assist from an elaborate flower arrangement was as ineffective as it was pricey.

Sources tell us that the "Take Me Back Cardi" roses that Offset presented to Cardi during her Rolling Loud set this weekend came from Venus ET Fleur -- famous for their real roses that last a year -- with a price tag of $15k.

121618_offset_cardi_b_kal 12/15/18
I'M BEGGIN' YOUR FORGIVENESS
TMZ.com

We're told the arrangement consisted of 2,000 stems of roses. What's interesting ... the order was called in at the last minute. It took 8 people to assemble it in time for the gig.

Unclear if Offset personally called in the order ... but considering Cardi's publicist, Patientce, was in on the plan to get him up onstage, it's possible she's behind it.

It's probably chump change to Offset -- or whoever ended up cashing out. Still ... sucks that these pretty petals went to waste. Cardi kicked Offset offstage.

JWoww Claimed Husband Harassed Her ... That's the Reason for a Restraining Order

JWoww told police her estranged husband, Roger Mathews, was harassing her by filming her without consent, which is why he got kicked out of their home ... sources close to the couple tell TMZ.

As we reported ... cops hauled Mathews out of the family home early Friday morning per a restraining order JWoww got in the dead of night. Roger claimed the 2 had a disagreement earlier in the evening, but he did nothing wrong and was blindsided by police when they demanded he leave.

We're told the 'Jersey Shore' star waited until later in the night when Roger went to bed to contact authorities to claim he was harassing her ... which was enough to get him booted.

121418_jwoww_kal
"HE'S NOT A BAD DAD"

Surveillance video from inside their home during the incident shows JWoww telling cops Roger's "not a bad dad" and presumably wants the restraining order to only cover her. But, apparently cops said the temporary order bars Roger from contacting the entire fam, and if she wants it limited she'll have to take it up later in court.

Snooki hinted at harassment allegations when she claimed Roger was taunting JWoww by recording her with his phone to get a rise out of her. Mathews admitted recording JWoww on his phone, but only because his attorney advised him to do so.

We're told Roger is hoping more surveillance footage from the incident at their home gets released because he has nothing to hide and believes it will vindicate him.

Our sources also say the 2 have been doing couple's counseling for the past 3 months and Mathews was hoping to work things out, but JWoww told him recently she had no intention of reconciling ... and was only trying to keep things civil for the kids over the holidays.

We're told Roger's in the same boat now -- it's all about the kids ... not saving the marriage.

Offset Lookin' Like a Tired Zombie ... After Bday Weekend, Cardi Rejection

121718_offset_kal
OFFPUT
TMZ.com

Offset looked like a dude who hadn't seen much sleep as he capped off his birthday weekend with a final club stop ... and it also seems like he had Cardi B on the brain.

We got the Migos rapper heading into the Argyle nightclub in Hollywood Sunday night -- day 3 of this birthday festivities -- and our photog tried peppering him with questions about Cardi and his failed attempt to publicly get her back during her Rolling Loud set.

He stayed mum, but his face says a lot here ... I'M F***IN' TIRED, BRO!!! That's what we're seeing, anyway. Makes sense -- he's been partying since at least Friday.

121618_offset_party_kal
BIRTHDAY DRIP
TMZ.com

Just the day before, he was covered in a diamond-crusted face mask and surrounded by his best pals at another venue ... this right after he'd ambushed his wife onstage. And, of course, Offset was also celebrating the day before that too (his actual birthday) ... rounding out the trifecta.

As tired as he appears, we're gonna take a leap and say he might've also been feeling bummed about the Cardi sitch, for which he got dragged online after many folks accused him of hijacking her moment to selfishly satisfy his agenda ... begging for forgiveness.

Second thoughts, mate?
