Jesse Williams and his ex-wife, Aryn Drake-Lee, have reached a child custody agreement -- one that allows for him to do a Broadway play, and also gives him veto power on COVID-19 issues for their 2 kids.
According to docs, the exes were in court last week when the judge signed off on a few custody modifications. Although Aryn and Jesse maintain shared legal custody ... the judge denied her request to reduce his physical time with the kids -- presumably because he's gonna be spending a lot of time in NYC.
The former "Grey's Anatomy" star was hanging at a Knicks game back in January, but he'll be working in the Big Apple soon ... starring in the Broadway production, "Take Me Out" from March thru June.
As a result, the judge is now giving Jesse 4 consecutive days with the children -- 8-year-old Sadie and 6-year-old Maceo -- in NYC each month, and 2 of those days can be weekends.
Talk about a sign of the times ... the agreement also addresses how they will handle COVID disputes. The judge granted Jesse "tie-breaking authority" for 2022 if, for some reason, he and Aryn can't agree on things like vaccinations or face masks for the kids.
One more thing ... no flip-flopping on parenting time for Jesse. At Aryn's request, the judge agreed the actor can't cancel and then "uncancel" his scheduled daddy time.
Once Jesse's play closes in the summer, they'll be back in court to modify custody again.

Tristan Thompson Heckled With 'Khloe!' Chants ... During Game
Tristan Thompson has a new team, but he's still hearing the same heckles ... 'cause during his game Monday night, fans were still trying to distract him with "Khloe!" chants.
The familiar taunts all went down in Miami during the Bulls vs. Heat game ... when Tristan was at the line shooting some free throws.
In video posted by a fan near courtside, you can hear several people yell "Khloe!" loudly at the Chicago center while he was trying to make his foul shots.
In the footage, Thompson sank his free throw amid the taunts ... but Khloe Kardashian's ex was only able to make two of his four attempts during the evening. Tristan's Bulls went on to lose the game, 112-99.
Of course, Thompson is no stranger to the jeers about his ex -- he's heard the chants at multiple arenas in his career, and even reportedly had a fan ejected from a game earlier this season over the Kardashian heckles.
Thompson -- who was traded from the Kings earlier this month and later signed with the Bulls -- famously dated Khloe off and on from 2016 to 2021.
Despite having a child together, the two had a rocky relationship ... with things going so sideways, Thompson actually apologized in January for causing her "heartache and humiliation."

Kanye West I Object, Your Honor!!! Kim Can't Prove I Wrote Those Social Media Posts!!!
-
Exclusive
- 22.4K shares
3:06 PM PT -- Ye could have a hard time proving his argument in court that he didn't write the social posts attacking Kim and Pete. Check out his recent IG post in which he's pictured holding a yellow pad touting that his account was NOT hacked.
Kanye West has just made it clear ... he's not gonna end his marriage without a fight, but the fight he's waging is, well, bizarre.
Kanye just filed legal docs ... trying to make his social media posts attacking Kim, Pete and others inadmissible in next week's hearing. As we reported, a judge will decide next week whether to restore Kim's single status.
Kanye's argument -- How does Kim really know he wrote those posts? His lawyer is arguing these social media posts are not only hearsay ... they're double hearsay!
Ye's lawyer says, "Kim claims she read something online allegedly by Kanye and characterizes the posts in her declaration as misinformation ... Kim needed to offer the social media posts into evidence, and show that the posts were written by Kanye."
The docs never say Kanye didn't write the posts ... just that Kim hasn't jumped through all the hoops.
But, that's not all ... Kanye's lawyer now says the prenup can't be viewed as valid, at least not now. Ye's attorney says there's a presumption in California that prenups signed after 2001 are invalid, and the only way they can be validated is either during a trial or if both parties agree. So, it seems Kanye is saying he hasn't agreed it's valid, so it can't be enforced until there's a full-blown trial, and that means a big delay.
What Kanye is doing is throwing up roadblocks to stop Kim from becoming single. He previously filed docs saying he would agree to it, but one of the conditions is that all assets be frozen for now. The thing is ... they have a prenup that makes all their property separate and Kim needs that money to run her businesses.
It's highly unlikely the judge will buy what Ye's lawyer is selling ... restoring single status is a routine procedure, and the very point is to separate division of assets from marital status.
Translation ... he's gonna try and make getting a divorce as hard as possible.

Bill Maher Oh, You Don't Understand the War ... Kim's Ukraine, Pete's NATO and Ye's Russia
The brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine is hard for some Americans to understand, so Bill Maher broke it down in terms a pop culture consumer can easily grasp.
Maher broke it down Friday night on "Real Time," equating Ukraine to Kim Kardashian, NATO to Pete Davidson, and -- sorry Ye -- you're Russia.
So, the idea ... Kim (Ukraine) wants her freedom, but she's boldly taken steps to move on from her marriage by forging a romantic alliance with Pete (NATO), and Kanye (Russia) is now throwing up all these false scenarios, claiming they're making his life difficult, so he's now showing unbridled aggression.
Now you get it?
Maher ended his show in true Bill fashion ... showing unbridled contempt for the Republican Party, while blasting the Democrats for squandering an opportunity to avert midterm disaster.
He noted Trump's stranglehold on the Republican Party seems to be waining ... the poll numbers show a drop in support as dramatic as the decline of Omicron.
So, his point ... a lot of folks who were drawn to Trump who felt disenfranchised are now jumping off that train in droves, so they're ripe for the pickin', assuming Democrats don't attack them for having supported Trump in the past. In other words ... show graciousness.
There's a fabulous sports metaphor Obama once used to describe this very opportunity ... and Bill recounts it well.
His overarching message ... it's best not to talk politics with people who have opposing views -- it just never ends well. Talk about "Yellowstone" -- it's safer.

Sam Hunt Wife Files for Divorce in Another County ... Divorce Still On
12:14 PM PT -- Turns out the reason Hannah withdrew her petition so quickly was because she apparently filed legal docs in the wrong county, so she refiled the case in a nearby county in the Nashville area ... so now it makes more sense. She didn't file last Friday and suddenly change her mind the same day. Her lawyers filed and then must have realized the jurisdiction was wrong, so they fixed it.
Sam Hunt's wife had an almost instant change of heart after filing for divorce, because the same day she accused Sam of adultery she withdrew her petition to end the marriage.
Hannah Lee Fowler had filed legal docs Friday to end her marriage to Sam, not only citing infidelity but revealing she was pregnant and wanted primary custody of their child due in May. She had also asked for spousal and child support.
But, then she filed a document the very same day saying the divorce petition was "voluntarily nonsuited without prejudices." Translation ... she's withdrawing the divorce case but is reserving the right to file again in the future.
The couple married almost 5 years ago and were together for years before ... they began their relationship when Sam was a QB at Univ. of Alabama, Birmingham.
A judge had yet to sign off on the filing, but that's just a housekeeping thing.

Lamar Odom Still Carrying a Torch for Khloe
Lamar Odom is sending a message to ex-wife Khloe Kardashian ... after he was evicted from "Celebrity Big Brother."
The former Los Angeles Lakers star had his exit interview with Julie Chen Moonves -- after getting kicked out of the "Celebrity Big Brother" house -- and she asked if there's anything he'd like to say to Khloe.
His response ... "I miss you and I hope to get to see you soon."
Lamar and Khloe -- who were together from 2009 to 2016 -- had a tumultuous relationship ... much of it fueled by Lamar's drug abuse. He's said he has deep regrets and would like a redo if that were possible.
Earlier in the season, Lamar told singer and choreographer Todrick Hall ... "I had some good dreams last night. I dreamt about my ex-wife last night I wish I could take that time back. I miss her so much."
Since their split, Khloe had a daughter, True, with Tristan Thompson ... whom Odom recently called "corny" over the way he's treated her.
Lamar was eliminated on 'CBB' with Todd Bridges during a double-elimination episode. Lamar and Todd have used their time in the house to bond over their sobriety.
And, Lamar says they have a special bond ... "Todd has been sober for 33 years now, so I asked him to be my sober coach. That is why I joined the 'Celebrity Big Brother' cast because sobriety is really important to me at this point in my life." Lamar says he's been sober for seven years.
Odom had tried moving on from Khloe after their divorce. He got engaged to lifestyle coach Sabrina Parr in November 2019, but they called it off a year later.

Kanye West Kris Jenner is Awesome, But ... Corey Gamble is 'Godless'
10:35 AM PT -- A source close to the two of them tells TMZ ... they're still very much together, and for Kanye to call Corey godless is unfair as he's very much, and always has been, a man of God.
Kanye West has set his sights on a new target ... Kris Jenner's BF, and he's gone in hard.
Ye posted a diatribe against Corey Gamble, insinuating he and Kris Jenner broke up, saying ... "God has a plan to remove the Godless Corey needed to never be here anyway." And THAT was just for starters.
He says Corey's a nice person but not a great person ... someone who, as he puts it, "became the tv version of a father figure."
Kanye seems to have beef over Corey muscling in on Kim Kardashian, saying, "He once told my wife he knew what music she should be listening to. So when I seen him a week later I had him removed from my daughter's birthday party."
And, then he blames Gamble for pushing Kim to the left, saying, "He got my wife linked with the liberals in a deep way. That was his Job For some reason I always felt he worked for DuPont or some organization in that pedigree."
And, then he dismissed Gamble, saying, "Now he's off to his next mission. His job is done."
Now the turn ... Ye embraces Kris -- the woman he once called Kris Jong-un -- saying, "It's on purpose I love Kris. This woman is a hero and she's done what she's had to do to protect her family and make sure they prosper even if it meant telling everyone not to listen to me. I respect her grind her hustle and her mind. Kris is one of the best ever to do it."
Just another day ...

Kanye West Your Honor, I Object to Kim's Divorce Plans

Exclusive
- 16K shares
Kanye West is not down with Kim Kardashian getting an order divorcing him and restoring her single status ... and he's now made his objections known to the judge.
Kanye's new legal docs are in response to Kim's petition to get the judge to declare her single before all the custody and property issues are resolved. That's scheduled to happen early next month, but now Kanye's lawyer is objecting.
As for why ... Kanye's lawyer seems to be worried Kim might remarry and move some of their assets to her separate accounts. Kanye seems agreeable to Kim becoming single stat, but only if safeguards are in place so the assets remain as marital property.
Kanye's lawyer says he wants 3 conditions, all of which his lawyer claims Kim has rejected.
1. If either of them dies, he wants to make sure any money that might be owing to either gets reimbursed.
2. Kanye wants to block Kim from transferring assets out of any trust they created.
3. He wants Kim to waive their marital privilege pending a final custody decision. This is interesting ... he wants to ensure any communications between the 2 of them can be part of the court record. He also wants to make sure, if Kim remarries, she would waive any spousal privilege between her and her new husband ... in other words, he wants to make sure any conversations between her and a new husband, as it relates to custody, would be fair game in court.
As we reported, there's a prenup that keeps all of their property separate, so it's unclear why there would be alarm on Kanye's part.
The reality here ... it's almost certain the judge will restore Kim's single status next month.

Brad Pitt Sues Angelina Jolie ... You Secretly Sold Winery to Russian Oligarch!!!

Brad Pitt says Angelina Jolie double-crossed him by secretly selling her interest in a winery they jointly owned ... sold it to a Russian oligarch, and he's now suing her to undo the deal.
Brad's legal docs, obtained by TMZ, are part of their never-ending divorce war. The 2 bought Chateau Miraval in Correns, France back in 2008. Brad says he invested a ton of money and time in the winery over the years, although he acknowledges Angelina plunked down 40% of the $28.4 million purchase price.
Brad says he alone made the winery successful because by 2013 she wasn't doing much in that department. He claims they always had an understanding ... neither of them could sell off their interest without the other's consent.
Fast forward to 2016 ... Angelina filed for divorce and it became super contentious.
Last July Angelina went to court and told the judge she had reached an agreement to sell her interest to an unnamed person. Pitt says in September he agreed to allow Angelina to pursue the sale but made it clear ... he was not consenting to the sale, but rather would give thumbs up or down to the proposed buyer.
Brad says in October he was shocked to learn a company called Tenute del Mondo -- a subsidiary of Stoli Group (the vodka co.) -- controlled by Russian oligarch, Yuri Shefler, bought her interest in the winey.
He says Angelina never sought his consent and intentionally kept the terms of the deal from him.
Brad says Shefler has wreaked havoc on his ability to run the winery.
A source close to BP tells us, "Unfortunately, this is another example of the same person disregarding her legal and ethical obligations. In doing so, she has violated the rights of the only person who poured money and sweat equity into the success of the business by purporting to sell both the business and family home to a third-party competitor."
They continue, "She is seeking a return on an investment she did not make and profits she did not earn.”
Brad now wants the judge to undo the deal. He also wants damages.
We reached out to a rep for Angelina ... so far, no word back.

Kim Kardashian Pretty in Pink Amid Kanye Drama
Kim Kardashian's simply opting to go pretty in pink as the ugliness with Kanye West rages on, OR it's all so stomach-churning ... she's got Pepto on the brain.
Kim dressed head-to-toe in Balenciaga while running errands Monday around L.A. with North and Penelope Disick -- who both followed her lead with pink and red outfits, respectively. Musta been a Valentine's day thing.
Check out the gallery ... Kim was popping with her bright pink jacket, and matching sweater and matching thigh-high boots.
We're gonna go out on a limb and say she's firmly in the pink!
Her family time comes on the heels of Kim's romantic weekend in NYC with boyfriend Pete Davidson ... as we told you, the couple got a jump on the holiday with a date night sealed with a kiss.
Kanye, meanwhile, has been ranting and spreading nasty rumors about Pete on social media ... but it sounds like he's finally changing his tune.
Ye just posted a sort-of-apology for posting Kim's text messages ... and said he's working on his communication, moving away from ALL CAPS and taking accountability, saying ... "Sharing screen shots was jarring and came off as harassing Kim."
Kanye also sent Kim a truckload of roses on Monday, but she was out in L.A. looking like a pink flower herself.

No Kanye, no problem!!! That's the attitude Julia Fox is carrying straight into New York Fashion Week where she worked it on a runway ... fresh off her split from the rapper.
Julia slipped into the Laquan Smith Fall/Winter line to do some catwalk modeling Monday night in Lower Manhattan -- and the gig just happened to come a few hours after she and Ye officially broke up.
As you can see in the photo, the "Uncut Gems" star wore a black cut-out dress, paired with statement silver earrings and bangles ... with her hair in a sleek tight bun.
Of course, the show fell on Valentine's Day -- but bae or no bae, it seems Julia already had some big plans in the works. Apparently, the after-party played a few Kanye hits ... but, our sources say, she did not stay for it.
Julia's NYFW catwalk is another thing to add to her portfolio which already included modeling campaigns for Coach and Diesel.
As we've told you, Julia appeared to be unfazed by her break up with Ye ... as we've told you, she went on IG and basically said "she came up" from the short-lived fling and now there's no hard feelings.
Maybe she's got a point -- she was still in the spotlight last night, after all.
When it comes to moving on from an old relationship, Ye might wanna take notes from Julia.

Frankie Grande says Kanye West just wants a reaction from Pete Davidson ... telling us the nasty rumors Kanye's spreading about his sister and Mac Miller are a bunch of bull.
We got Ariana Grande's brother at Crossroads Kitchen in Los Angeles on Monday and asked about Kanye claiming Pete sent Mac intimate photos of him and AG.
Frankie says he's never heard this to be true and chalks it up to Kanye looking to stir the pot now that Pete is dating his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian.
It's a pretty nasty rumor to spread, but Frankie's taking the high road here ... telling us he doesn't put much stock in what Kanye says and wishing Ye, Pete and Kim nothing but the best.
Still, Frankie says he would never spread rumors about someone or insert himself in someone else's business ... and while he hopes folks like Kanye follow his lead, he doesn't want to control anyone.
Frankie obviously knows Pete from when the 'SNL' star was engaged to Ariana ... and he tells us why he doesn't buy the narrative Pete is with Kim for clout.
Safe to say anyone ... gay or straight ... would want to date Kim ... at least according to Frankie.

Kanye West To Kim Kardashian Here's Truck Full of Roses!!!
Kanye West clearly thinks he has a shot at reconciling with Kim Kardashian -- despite all signs pointing to a March divorce -- because he just sent a truckload of roses to her home.
Yeezy just posted some pictures of his grand gesture ... and as you can see, it's a black truck with the bed piled high with dozens of pink and red flowers.
Kanye customized the truck to say "MY VISION IS KRYSTAL KLEAR" along the side panel ... and he also used the phrase for his Instagram post.
You'll recall ... Kanye made a big show of Valentine's Day gifts for Kim when they were still together ... with lots of flowers and even a special performance from legendary saxophonist Kenny G.
But, Kanye and Kim are in the middle of a divorce ... so this V-Day gift is a bit bizarre.
As we reported ... Kim and Pete Davidson already celebrated the occasion ... with a dinner date and a kiss. Kanye's newly single though ... he and Julia Fox are broken up after a whirlwind romance that turned out to be pretty short-lived.
Ye hasn't given up on Kim ... he's made it clear on social media he wants to get his family back ... and this gift seems to be his latest attempt at winning her over.

The couple hit Cipriani NYC Sunday for dinner, bundled up to brave the cold temps, but did their best to keep each other warm with a little PDA. While Pete and Kim have been together for several months now, the new pic is actually the first time we've seen them kiss in public.
We should note, the two kissed during Kim's appearance on 'SNL' ... but it was all in good fun for an Aladdin skit.
From dinner, we're told Pete and Kim joined some friends -- including LaLa Anthony -- to hit up a Super Bowl party.
Meanwhile, on the West Coast, Kanye continued to take shots at Pete, who he's now nicknamed Skete, telling fans Monday, "IF YOU SEE SKETE IN REAL LIFE SCREAM AT YHE LOOSER AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS AND SAY KIMYE FOREVER."
Not only that, Kanye also addressed his thoughts on Kim, posting, "I DON’T HAVE BEEF WITH KIM I LOVE MY FAMILY SO STOP THAT NARRATIVE IM NOT GIVING UP ON MY FAMILY."
