Tori Spelling's mom Candy says she's in her daughter's corner when it comes to her ending her marriage with Dean McDermott ... and Mama Spelling tells us her kid is doing ok.
We got Candy outside Hermes in Beverly Hills Friday with "Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles" star Josh Flagg, and she makes it clear -- she will ALWAYS have her daughter's back, especially as she and Dean go their separate ways.
Candy acknowledges that includes helping out financially if needed. As you know, Tori, in the past, has had some financial problems.
Josh, who said he watched Candy & Tori mend their relationship last year, is hoping this split sticks, telling us Tori's someone that deserves to live a happy life ... and having Dean out of the picture, according to Josh, is how that can now become a reality.
You'll recall, things were once tense between Tori and her mom when her dad Aaron Spelling died in 2006 -- when he left Tori a sliver of his $500 million estate. Candy's also had a hard time accepting her relationship with Dean, who married Tori that same year.
As we reported, Dean broke the news last month on social media, saying he and Tori "decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own."
The following day, he scrubbed the post from his page, and his IG bio still mentions Tori as the "love of my life" ... but it sounds like this breakup is still moving along, and Candy and Josh both have her back.

Ariana Madix says she's certainly in a better place now than a few months ago when it comes to Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss ... but that doesn't mean she can totally move on.
We got the "Vanderpump Rules" star leaving her soon-to-open sandwich shop, Something About Her, in West Hollywood Friday -- she admits she's feeling a lot happier now compared to how tense things were for her earlier this year.
As we reported, Ariana's joining the "Dancing with the Stars" cast for its upcoming season, and we chatted with her about that gig, too ... and she tells us she's gettin' her stretches in to prep ahead of the September premiere.
We also bring up a wild hypothetical -- asking her what she'd do if Tom or Ariana get on the competition series as well ... but she's got her doubts the show producers would even think to put her through that kind of ordeal.
Remember, "Vanderpump Rules" started filming its 11th season at the end of last month, with Ariana shooting a scene with her sandwich shop co-owner Katie Maloney.
Tom confirmed he's back in front of the cameras this week -- but any sign Raquel is officially back on the series has yet to be seen, although her team and Bravo have been chatting about a new contract.

Kim Zolciak & Kroy Biermann Family That Prays Together ... Take Kids to Church Amid Divorce
Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are still doing things as a family despite their extremely bitter divorce ... taking their children to worship and break bread together.
The former 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star and former NFL player went to church as a family last Sunday in Atlanta, bringing their 4 minor children with them to the service.
Afterward, Kim and Kroy took the kiddos out to eat ... and there were even a few smiles among the family.
Frankly, it's a bit unexpected to see the estranged couple together with their kids in tow ... the divorce has just been that acrimonious.
As we've reported, Kim called the cops on Kroy just last month, because he allegedly accused her friend of kidnapping their son. She also allegedly punched him during a different argument that led to a police response, and she's accused him of being mentally abusive.
Financially, Kim and Kroy allegedly owe $1 million to the IRS and they're both being hounded in court for allegedly falling behind on payments for everything from Target purchases, to fancy cars and gambling trips.
All that being said, Kim and Kroy have A LOT to pray on ... and they're testing the theory about families that pray together, staying together.

Kevin Costner vs. Christine Baumgartner Judge Orders Her Out by July 31 ... Big Sign Prenup is Valid

Exclusive

5:05 PM PT -- TMZ has just obtained the judge's written ruling, and he squarely rejected Christine's arguments that Kevin was trying to unfairly kick her out of their house, saying her points are "without merit." Christine had argued she "will move in due course, but this is a major undertaking and can only be accomplished with careful planning ... " The judge didn't buy it.
Kevin Costner just won big in court today, and the implications for his bitter divorce from Christine Baumgartner are even bigger ... because it looks like the judge is inclined to rule their prenup is valid.
The judge enforced a provision of the prenup which says, in the event a divorce petition is filed, Christine has a certain number of days to vacate the family home -- that date is July 31.
Christine's lawyers have argued the date is unfair because she doesn't have enough time or money to find an adequate place to live. Her attorney asked for an extension to August 15.
Kevin's attorney, disso queen Laura Wasser, has taken the position a deal is a deal, and it's right there in the prenup. Today the judge agreed.
There's an even bigger consequence to the judge's ruling. A hearing on the validity of the prenup is set for November, and given the acrimony in this case, Christine and her lawyers are expected to wage legal war to have the prenup declared invalid.
The judge's ruling today is squarely predicated on language in the prenup, so it seems the judge is inclined -- perhaps more than inclined -- to enforce the prenup, which would be a huge win for Kevin.
BTW ... the implications are financially dire for Christine, because if the judge rules the prenup is valid, she has to return the $1.5 million Kevin gave her. She'll also have to pay Kevin's attorney's fees incurred for defending the prenup.

Armie Hammer, Elizabeth Chambers Divorce Final ... Joint Custody, No Candy
Armie Hammer is now a single man, because the judge just signed off on his divorce settlement with Elizabeth Chambers, and it seems they've resolved all conflicts.
According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Armie and Elizabeth share joint legal and physical custody of their 2 children.
As for child support, the docs say Armie will pay $1,500 a month in support. The docs go on to say he does not currently have an income, so presumably, that's why the support settlement is modest.
The parties both agreed to waive spousal support.
There was one conflict when it comes to social media. Armie did not want the kids to be included in either his or Elizabeth's social media posts. Elizabeth disagreed. They came to a compromise each parent could post using their discretion, in a "careful, appropriate and discrete manner."
Armie Hammer Settles Divorce with Elizabeth Chambers
And, there's this ... they agreed on candy! According to the docs, "It's not in the minor children's best interest to consistently have candy," so they agreed to lay off the sweets.
And, the docs say neither Armie nor Elizabeth shall introduce their kids to "a new romantic interest unless he or she has been in a significant and exclusive relationship with that person for at least 6 months."
Elizabeth filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.

Brittany Snow's divorce from her husband Tyler Stanaland is officially a done deal, TMZ has learned.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the "Pitch Perfect" star, who said in her OG filing there was a prenup, is walking away with what appears to be all -- or at least, most -- of her possessions ... things like her furniture, clothes, artwork, jewelry, her leased 2022 Audi, and all of her cash.
It looks like Tyler's keeping the majority of his stuff, including his leased 2021 Toyota 4-runner ... and the docs say both waived their rights to collect any spousal support.
TMZ broke the story, Brittany filed for divorce from her real estate broker hubby in January, citing the usual irreconcilable differences as the reason for pulling the plug on nearly 3 years of marriage.
The filing didn't come as a shock, though -- they had already announced back in September that they called it quits.
BTW, Tyler was spotted getting close with his "Selling the OC" costar Alex Hall on the day they announced their split ... but he said they're just pals and nothing more.
He and Brittany were seen together just a few days later -- but it appears that didn't stop Brittany from ending things.

Seems like Avril Lavigne and Tyga are still gettin' along pretty well after their split ... because the 2 were spotted kicking it at a club in Sin City only weeks after calling it quits.
Avril and Tyga appeared to be in good spirits in pics and video, obtained by TMZ -- we're told Avril performed Saturday with Marshmello at the Encore Beach Club inside Wynn Las Vegas, and Tyga hopped onstage later that night.
We're told the rapper watched Avril's set from his VIP section of the DJ booth ... and she went over to him after her performance, where the two were spotted laughing and smiling together.
The pair eventually left the club together with their posse ... but not before Avril snapped pics with fans while Tyga waited next to them.
TMZ broke the story, sources told us the split was a mutual decision, with both believing the relationship simply ran its course. You'll recall, they went public in March -- a month after she called off her engagement to Mod Sun.
We were told Tyga and Avril were planning on staying friends, and this looks like a prime example.

Britney Spears hasn't seen her kids in well over a year, a timeline that could grow even longer ... because TMZ has learned Kevin Federline won't force his boys to see their mom before taking off to Hawaii.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Britney and Kevin's boys -- Sean Preston and Jayden -- will make their own decisions on whether they'll say their goodbyes to their mom before the move in August. Our sources say the boys haven't yet decided what they'll do.
As for Kevin, we're told he is encouraging his boys to see Britney ... but he isn't going to make the decision for them, and won't force them to visit Brit if they're not up for it.
TMZ broke the story, Kevin's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan sent a letter to Britney's lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, in May -- asking if she'd be willing to let the boys relocate to Hawaii with Kevin and his wife, Victoria Prince.
Kevin needed Britney's approval to take them off the mainland and even put a deadline on the response. Rosengart answered with a few days to spare, confirming Britney wouldn't fight the relocation ... giving them the green light for the move.
Britney posted about her sons on social media after approving the Hawaii trip -- calling Sean Preston her "first love," and sharing a throwback pic of her carrying a then 4-year-old Jayden ... possibly sending an olive branch before they take off.

Kevin Costner's Estranged Wife Christine Leaves Town With Kids ... Break From Divorce Drama
Kevin Costner's estranged wife is getting out of Dodge amid a swirl of allegations and counter-allegations in her bitter divorce ... and she's taking 2 of their kids with her.
Christine Baumgartner flew out of LAX Thursday, getting dropped off at the airport by a car service and walking into the terminal with a cup of coffee and some luggage.

This has gotta be a quick trip ... she's got to be back in Santa Barbara Wednesday for a big court hearing, where Christine will contest the prenup.

Anwar Hadid In NYC With New GF ... After Slew Of Alarming Social Media Posts
Anwar Hadid was spotted holding hands with a new GF during a New York City outing ... this after posting troublesome messages last month, which folks thought were all over the breakup with his ex, Dua Lipa.
Gigi and Bella Hadid's little bro stepped out Thursday ... and his hands were locked with what appears to be fellow fashion model, Sophia Piccirilli.
The 2 were clearly in great spirits -- a stark contrast to Anwar's online presence last month.
As we reported, Anwar was in a pretty dark space when he posted some cryptic -- and alarming -- comments on his IG story ... "Trying not to find him and kill him," "I hate the way you say his name," and "I can't breath[e]."
He never called out Dua directly, but it was around that same time the singer was at the Cannes Film Festival with her BF, director Romain Gavras ... so fans connected the dots.
Anwar took issue with the take fans and others had about his rant, posting a profanity-laced response ... though he never clarified if Dua was the subject.
The 2 were linked in 2019, but eventually split a couple of years later.
Regardless, it looks like Anwar's moved on.

Kevin Costner says his estranged wife is living in outer space thinking she's entitled to $248,000 a month in child support, because some of her alleged "expenses" include her own plastic surgery ... according to court docs filed by Kevin.
Kevin's forensic accountant says in the new divorce docs, the expenses Christine Baumgartner uses to justify a quarter-mil a month are outrageous. One of the expenses Christine lists includes more than $100,000 in cosmetic surgery -- her own. There's also thousands of dollars in boutique shopping, huge ATM withdrawals and other expenses Kevin's people say have nothing to do with child support.
A lot of what Christine lists as expenses are on credit card bills ... including her own attorney's fees.

Kim Kardashian Breaks Down Over Ye's Antisemitism ... I Miss The Old Kanye
Kanye West's behavior, both publicly and behind the scenes clearly tore his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, and their family apart ... as evidenced in scenes recorded right around the time of his antisemitic attacks.
In a preview for next week's episode of "The Kardashians" Kim sobs in Khloe Kardashian's arms -- explaining the Kanye of today is not the one she married back in 2014 -- and she'd do anything to try and get the old version of Kanye back.
While the preview doesn't specify exactly which Kanye incident led to Kim's breakdown, the timing of other events in the episode line up with when Kanye launched his online attacks, including a tweet where he claimed he was going "death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE."
It was also in the middle of Kanye's attack on Jewish people that their divorce, which she filed in February 2021, was finalized ... so there's also a chance she's sobbing over the weight of the entire situation.
Remember, Kanye faced a TON of hate after his comments about the Jewish community -- after his shocking tweet, he tried clarifying, telling Piers Morgan he only wished harm on Jewish people that did him dirty in the music industry ... which really didn't help.
He went on to deny parts of the Holocaust on Alex Jones' "Infowars," bizarrely claiming to love Hitler -- digging the hole even deeper.
What was most frightening about the whole thing was the minority of people who supported Ye in the wake of his comments, including a group of people over an L.A. freeway performing a Nazi salute and hanging a banner reading, "Kanye is right about the Jews."
Ye was dropped from brands left and right -- including millions in losses from Adidas -- and was even named "Antisemite of the Year" by watchdog group StopAntisemitism ... so it's easy to see the pain and frustration Kim was facing during the downfall.

Kevin Costner Divorce Christine Says She'll Move Out ... But There's String Attached
Kevin Costner's estranged wife says she will pack up and move out of their home under one condition ... he's got to pony up more dough.
According to new legal docs, obtained by RadarOnline.com, Christine Baumgartner says she will move out of the beachfront home in Carpinteria, CA on August 31 ... as long as Kevin provides financial support as determined by the court.
Christine claims Kevin wants her to find a new place to live ASAP without a financial plan in place ... and with three kids, she says it's not in their best interests for her to move into a new place until she knows how much money she's going to be getting from Kevin.
Remember ... Kevin says Christine has so far refused to move out of the home he insists he owns, and he says their prenuptial agreement makes it clear Christine had 30 days to vacate the home when she filed for divorce on May 1, a deadline she's already missed.
Kevin, as we've reported, already says he's shelled out $1 million for Christine to find a new place to live ... and he's been asking the court to get her out of the home, claiming she's using her position as leverage to make him agree to her financial demands.
In docs filed earlier this month, Christine asked a judge to force Kevin to pay $248,000 a month in child support ... a figure Kevin says amounts to highway robbery.
There's a court hearing coming up July 12, and Christine says when she finds out then how much she's getting from Kevin, she'll have a better handle on where she can move and will be out of the home by the end of August.

Taylor Swift asking her fans to chill out on John Mayer is having quite the opposite effect ... because her ex-boyfriend is seeing tons of hate come his way online.
Here's the deal ... Taylor pled with Swifties to take it easy on John when she performed "Dear John" at her recent 'Eras' tour stop in Minneapolis, as the song takes shots at her ex-flame.
But, as it turns out ... Taylor's fans are instead going after John on social media ... and there seems to be no letup in sight.
Look no further than John's most recent Instagram posts ... they are being flooded with negative comments from Taylor supporters, with some even blaming him for Taylor's call for a cease-fire.
Over on TikTok, Swifties are posting videos of themselves saying how they are going to go against Taylor's wishes ... promising to cyberbully John.
Twitter's also awash with negative comments -- as is usually the case on the bird app -- so John's getting heat from all angles.
Remember ... John's on the record saying Taylor's song is humiliating, and he's previously ripped it as "cheap songwriting" and a "lousy thing for her to do."
Looks like Taylor may have unintentionally poked the bear.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott certainly have a history -- with two kids to prove it -- but they're not working on getting back together ... and are happily co-parenting their little ones.
Sources close to the former couple tell us Kylie's primarily the one with 5-year-old Stormi and 1-year-old Aire -- they both live at Kylie's house -- but Travis can see the kiddos as much as he wants.
Travis spent his Father's Day with Stormi in London -- so she's jet-setting with Dad as well.
Fans speculated Travis and Kylie might be working on their relationship when both were at Stormi's pre-k graduation earlier this month ... but our sources say it was solely to support their daughter.
Obviously, Kylie's fam has played a big part in helping with Stormi and Aire -- but Travis' family sees the kids as much as possible ... and also attended Stormi's graduation.
As far as we know, Travis isn't currently dating anyone new -- though he's popped up at a couple of SZA's shows on her European tour. Kylie's been tied to Timothée Chalamet, grabbing food and hanging out at each other's places, but there's no indication things have gotten super serious.
Kylie and Travis have split and gotten back together in the past ... so there's a chance it happens again, but our sources say this time it feels more permanent.

Selena Gomez Appears to Unfollow ... Zayn, Hadids & Even Dua Lipa?!?
More social media drama for Selena Gomez -- or so it seems anyway ... especially if you put any stock into her official digital friend count.
The singer is said to have unfollowed a string of famous people of late -- including Dua Lipa, Zayn Malik, whom she was rumored to have been dating in March. Not just that ... but his baby mama, Gigi Hadid, and her sister, Bella, have also been scrubbed from Selena's IG "following" tab.
While it's unclear when Selena might've stopped following these folks, we know for certain they're not there now. And SG was following most (if not all) of them in the recent past.
So the question ... what gives??? And more importantly ... does this actually matter?!?
On its face -- coupled with Selena's history of social media feuds -- it would appear that it does ... especially on the Zayn front. Rumors swirled this past Spring about the two of them seeing each other, not to mention one alleged sighting where they were seen kissing at dinner.
While Selena has since made it clear she's "single" ... the Zayn rumor picked up steam for a while. Obviously, they're both pop stars -- and also seem to run in adjacent circles.
The Hadids and Selena have also palled around over the years -- and as for Dua, she was gushing over Selena just 6 or 7 months ago when asked about the prospect of collaborating with her ... ditto for Selena, BTW, who was quoted as being down in the same article.
Again, we have no idea why Selena unfollowed all of them ... but it points to some kind of falling out, which has been a thing lately for her. Look no further than Francia Raisa ... and let's not forget the whole "mean girls" thing with Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner.
Selena tends to mostly mind her business/do her thing ... but every now and then, she's roped into a social media controversy. Whether she's the one initiating it ... debatable.
Let's play nice, everyone.
