Joe Manganiello Files for Divorce from Sofia Vergara ... Prenup in Place

Joe Manganiello has filed for divorce from Sofia Vergara ... TMZ has learned.

Joe's lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser, filed legal docs late Wednesday citing the usual irreconcilable differences.

The docs reveal there is a prenup, and they will each keep the assets they accumulated during their 7-year marriage. Wasser has a reputation for defending prenups, and our sources say Sofia is not going to contest it.

Since they have no kids, it seems like a pretty straightforward divorce.

Speaking of kids, we're hearing a big reason Joe has filed is their conflict over having children -- he wants them, she does not.

Joe and Sofia will each cover their own lawyers' fees.

The date of separation is listed as July 2, 2023.

The couple married in November, 2015. They issued this joint statement ... "We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one and other very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives."

Tiger Woods Ex-GF Drops $30 Million Lawsuit

Tiger Woods is no longer being sued for allegedly cooking up a scheme to toss his ex-girlfriend out of his home after they broke up.

Tiger's ex, Erica Herman, recently dropped the $30 million lawsuit she filed against his trust ... this according to new court documents obtained by The New York Post.

Erica's decision to drop the suit comes on the heels of a related legal win for Tiger ... as we reported in May, a judge ordered the case to arbitration, which is what Woods wanted.

Tiger's ex originally filed suit against his trust back in March, alleging he wrongly kicked her out of the Florida mansion they lived in together.

Remember ... Erica claimed she was living with Tiger in his Hobe Sound estate for 6 years while they were dating, with Erica claiming she performed "valuable services" for Tiger in exchange for living rent-free.

Erica claimed they had an "oral tenancy agreement" which was supposed to last 5 years after their 2022 split ... but admitted she didn't have it in writing.

She sued Tiger's trust -- the titleholder on the house -- for $30 mil because she claimed it was the "reasonable rental value" of Tiger's house for the 5 remaining years on their alleged oral agreement.

When Tiger and Erica broke up in the fall of 2022, she claims Tiger cooked up a scheme to throw her out of the home, including alleged false promises and a spontaneous vacation.

She claimed Tiger's people convinced her to pack a suitcase for a vacation without Tiger, allegedly driving her to the airport, where they allegedly told her she'd been "locked out" of the house and couldn't go back.

For his part, Tiger denied ever making a pact with Erica ... brushing her off as a "jilted ex-girlfriend."

Sofia Vergara & Joe Manganiello Divorcing ... After 7 Years

It's splitsville for Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello -- as the couple just announced they're throwing in the towel on their marriage ... and going their separate ways.

They issued a joint statement Monday, telling Page Six ... "We have made the difficult decision to divorce. As two people that love and care for one another very much, we politely ask for respect of our privacy at this time as we navigate this new phase of our lives."

The outlet reports they've been growing apart for quite some time and have recently been spending time apart to figure out a path forward.

The two actors got together in 2014, and were engaged 6 months later. They got married in 2015 --- but never had any children together ... although Sofia has a son from a previous relationship. They've often been considered one of Hollywood's big-time power couples.

Vergara -- whose been overseas celebrating her 51st birthday over the past several weeks -- appears to have been telegraphing she may be a single woman ... posting a ton of hot shots of herself in a bathing suit, with no sign of Joe in any of her recent snaps. Granted, the guy's been busy on the East Coast lately filming a new movie with Vince Vaughn ... pre-strike.

This is Sofia's second marriage and Joe's first. SV was in a long-term relationship with businessman Nick Loeb before she hooked up with Joe ... the remnants of which proved to be dramatic, as their embryo case dragged on for years in court.

Here's hoping this uncoupling isn't as eventful.

We covered the split on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

VH1'S 'THE X-LIFE' DENISE RUSSO Death by OD, Fentanyl, Meth

Denise Russo, famous for appearing on VH1's "The X-Life," died from a lethal combination of two of the most powerful drugs on the streets ... TMZ has learned.

According to the San Diego County Medical Examiner, Denise died from the toxic effects of fentanyl and methamphetamine in what's being ruled an accidental overdose.

We broke the story ... Denise was found unresponsive on the floor of a friend's home in San Diego back in March and was pronounced dead.

Police said drug paraphernalia was found at the scene, and the medical examiner notes the same thing ... saying paramedics arrived and performed "aggressive attempts at resuscitation" on the 44-year-old.

Denise was featured on the 2011 reality show, which followed the lives of extreme sports athletes and their partners ... she was dating professional skateboarder Pierre-Luc Gagnon at the time. Denise and Pierre-Luc had a son together, but had since broken up.

Remember ... Denise's friend and former "The X-Life" castmate Susie Stenberg told us Denise was homeless and living in her car when she died. Susie also said Denise contacted her the night before she was found dead to tell Susie she loved her.

Future Appears To Diss Russell Wilson ... With 'F*** Russell' Lyric

TAKIN' SHOTS AT RUSSELL

Time apparently doesn't heal all wounds for Future ... 'cause the rapper just seemingly dissed the hell outta Russell Wilson in his latest song.

The Atlanta M.C. dropped the controversial bar in his "Turn Yo Clic Up" collab with Quavo on Friday ... rapping in his verse, "I got it out the field, f*** Russell."

Future hasn't shied away from his thoughts on his ex-fiancée and mother of his child, Ciara, moving on with the NFL quarterback ... going in on the now-married couple multiple times in interviews.

Remember, Future Hendrix bashed Ciara for having Russell around Future Jr. early in their relationship ... telling "The Breakfast Club" in 2015, "You don't bring a man around your son."

"You've known this man for a few months and you're bringing him around your kid? Who does that?"

He later went in on Russell in 2019 ... saying he's not a real man in their relationship.

"He not telling her, 'Chill out with that on the internet. Don't even talk to him. I'm your husband. You better not even bring Future's name up!" he said on Apple Music.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

"If that was me, she couldn't even bring his name up. She know that. She couldn't even bring her exes names up."

Russell and Ciara have been married since 2016 ... and they have two kids of their own.

Wilson has since become a father figure for Future Jr. as well ... even spending a lot of time working on their football skills together.

Russell doesn't seem bothered by Future's constant gripes -- this past Father's Day, he said, "Future, Sienna & Win ... I Love You Forever! Glad we get to raise them together Momma! @ciara."

Kevin Costner Lawyer Says Estranged Wife Robbing Him Blind!!!

Kevin Costner says his estranged wife is fleecing him in a big way in the wake of their divorce ... buying personal items and taking cash out with credit cards from the staff that runs the family house ... and Kevin's lawyer believes there's evidence she hatched this plan well before filing for divorce.

Costner filed legal docs Thursday, claiming Christine Baumgartner "has shown a disturbing propensity in the last several months, both before and after separation, to take [Kevin's] property without his knowledge or consent, especially since this case was filed."

The new docs allege Christine paid a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer $25,000 from Kevin's separate property funds, without his knowledge. As for why she needed a criminal defense lawyer ... no explanation for that.

The docs also say she paid her divorce lawyer, Susan Wiesner, "on the credit card of an employee which is traditionally used for Costner family house charges and paid by [Kevin].

There's more ... Costner's lawyer alleged Christine took cash advances on various credit cards that were not issued to her but to members of the house staff.

And, the allegations continue ... months before they separated, Christine bought an expensive vehicle -- something out of the ordinary because they have always leased, not purchased cars. What's especially interesting ... the prenup says she's allowed to take her personal vehicle with her, so the claim is she upgraded by buying a new one before she split.

The allegation regarding the car is telling, because Kevin's lawyer says it's evidence she "had been planning her exit long before she told [Kevin] in April 2023."

The filing includes a laundry list of household items Christine plans to take with her -- everything from artwork to pots and pans -- but Kevin's attorney reminds his ex, "She has plenty of money to buy furniture, pots and pans and dishes" ... a reference to the $1.5 million lump sum Kevin has already paid Christine.

According to the new docs, Kevin's lawyer asked Christine for an agreement that she would not loot the residence before she leaves, and she refused to sign it.

The docs Kevin's lawyer filed say Kevin's totally fine with Christine taking her separate property from the family home, which she must vacate by the end of July. He's even willing to let her take other items, as long as they agree on that.

Adam Carolla $47K/Month to Estranged Wife ... Child, Spousal Support Set

Adam Carolla and his ex finally have a financial agreement as their divorce plays out ... and it will have him shelling out close to $50K each month.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Adam agreed to pay Lynette at least $17K a month in base child support for their 17-year-old twins, Santino and Natalia. That's an interim number, and additional child support might be ordered in the future depending on Adam's income.

The exes also agree to split the cost of their children's extracurricular activities, including things like college test prep fees, cell phones, and tutoring ... but Adam will solely cover the kids' health insurance.

In the docs, Adam also agrees to pay Lynette an additional $30K each month for spousal support. The payments actually started at the beginning of this year, so that means Adam's already dropped $329K for the first half of 2023.

As Kevin Costner would no doubt tell Adam ... divorce ain't cheap!

Adam announced he and Lynette were divorcing in 2021, saying they'd already been separated for a few months. They'd been married since 2002.

He told 'Adam Corolla Show' listeners there was no drama between them -- just that they're now different people who process life differently, and they weren't able to "meet in the middle somewhere."

Raquel Leviss Still Negotiating with Bravo ... No Deal in Place

There's still a major piece of the puzzle missing on Season 11 of "Vanderpump Rules," because we've learned Raquel Leviss is still NOT signed on.

Sources with direct knowledge of the negotiations tell TMZ ... Raquel's people are "talking" to Bravo, but the deal is not done.

STILL NO DEAL
TMZ.com

There have been various media reports indicating Raquel has already signed on. Those reports are not accurate. They're still negotiating.

Our sources say there's one thing that remains paramount in any possible return to "VPR" -- Raquel's mental health.

As we reported, Raquel has been in a mental health facility since mid-April, in the wake of all the fallout and hate as a result of Scandoval.

The cast has been shooting -- sans Raquel -- over the last week or so. They were all together Tuesday night at Sur in WeHo, shooting and arguing as per usual.

We covered the "VPR" drama on a recent episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Tom Sandoval & Ariana Madix Hit Up SUR at Same Time ... As 'VPR' Cameras Roll

Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix can't avoid each other -- they're back to sharing the same space publicly for the first time since the explosive "Vanderpump Rules" reunion, and yes ... producers got it all on camera.

The whole 'VPR' cast flocked to SUR Restaurant in WeHo Tuesday, where James Kennedy was DJing -- apart from Tom and Ariana, Tom Schwartz stepped in ... as did Katie Maloney and Scheana Shay. Sources on the scene tell us the boss lady, Lisa Vanderpump, was there too, hosting a dinner for the whole gang.

Tom and Ariana weren't spotted together while at the spot, but they were for sure under the same roof ... so there's gotta be some tension there.

Sandoval might have dodged Ariana, but he and Scheana got into a pretty intense argument -- it's hard to hear most of the conversation, but at one point you definitely hear her shout, "If you hadn't f***ed Raquel" ... before storming away.

As we reported, TMZ obtained footage of the Toms getting into a bit of a heated argument this week as the cameras rolled, so it seems the beating Sandoval's been taking since his affair with Raquel Leviss will continue into the next season.

In other words ... they're giving 'VPR' fans exactly what they want.

Bam Margera My Wife Won't Let Me See My Kid ... Sticking with Sober People to Keep Clean

SO CLOSE, BUT SO FAR
TMZ.com

Bam Margera says his estranged wife Nikki is still blocking him from seeing their son, face-to-face -- even though he says he's committed to lifestyle changes to remain sober.

We got Bam Tuesday outside court in downtown L.A., where he said it's a terrible feeling to know his son Phoenix is a short drive away, yet he still can't see him ... and he insists he's far from being the violent guy Nikki's making him out to be.

The former "Jackass" star says his only goal right now is to see Phoenix again, but he says Nikki's only allowed him a couple of FaceTime calls.

LET ME SEE HIM

As for Bam's sobriety, he tells us Lamar Odom wanted to work on his addiction a bit differently from how rehab centers have handled Bam in the past, which is why he's out.

Instead, he says he's surrounding himself with sober people -- some of them coaches, and some just friends -- to keep him straight.

FYI, Bam and Nikki were in court to establish whether their marriage was even valid and to determine if CA is the right court to deal with the case.

Bam testified he was informed their 2013 wedding in Iceland wasn't legit because they weren't residents of that country. The judge hasn't ruled yet.

VERY SCARY BEHAVIOR

We also got Nikki after the hearing, and she was shocked where things have gone with Bam after more than a decade together. She added ... Bam's behavior's been "extremely scary," and she needs to see consistent change before changing her mind about visits with Phoenix.

Kevin Costner To Pay Estranged Wife $129K In Child Support ... About Half What She Wanted

Kevin Costner's one step closer to finding out what he owes his estranged wife for child support ... a judge tentatively ruled the actor will be coughing up more than $129k a month.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge in their divorce case says Kevin must pay Christine Baumgartner $129,755 per month in child support. The ruling is tentative, subject to another upcoming hearing though the decision rarely changes.

The figure is a little over half of what Kevin's estranged wife was gunning for ... she requested $248k, a figure Kevin's accountant said included more than $100k for cosmetic procedures.

TMZ broke the story ... Kevin initially offered Christine $51,940, in addition to him paying all the children's expenses, but she scoffed at the figure ... saying the offer was "completely inappropriate."

According to the docs,  Kevin and Christine will each be on the hook for 50% of their kids' health care expenses, plus their extracurricular activities and private school tuition.

Kevin is also being ordered to advance Christine $200k for attorney's fees and another $100k in forensic costs.

This child support order is temporary ... there will be a full hearing in the next few months where Kevin and Christine will present evidence of the proper amount of child support -- so it could go up, or down.

Bethenny Frankel Calls Jonah Hill 'Low-Grade D**k' ... But Slams Ex for Releasing Texts

071123-bethenny-frankel-kal
WHERE IS THE LINE??

Bethenny Frankel is weighing in on the whole Jonah Hill controversy with his ex  ... and she seems to be in Jonah's corner on one major point, despite having a horrible run-in with him.

"The Real Housewives of New York" alum posted a TikTok video Monday explaining she once met Hill on the set of Jay Leno's "The Tonight Show" years ago and he acted like a "low-grade d**k" to her.

Frankel said, "He was put upon and kind of treated me like he was very better than [me]. I felt like a loser and the nobody that I was."

But Frankel didn't let her personal feelings toward the actor cloud her judgment about Hill's current drama with his former girlfriend Sarah Brady -- on whether the story should have been made public in the first place.

As you know, Brady released on social media a bunch of text messages between her and Hill she claims prove he's a "misogynist narcissist." Brady also accused Hill of being abusive, manipulative and controlling.

Frankel called the Hill/Brady texts "crazy," but she, too, admitted to having similar back-and-forth messaging with people, which in a vacuum can look nuts. She then questioned whether Brady should have published the texts, since Brady was in a romantic relationship with Hill.

Bethenny continued, "I don’t know the whole story, I only read the snippets of headlines, but if you're in a relationship with someone for one year, are texts fair game?"

She ended by saying the notion of publicly sharing texts from exes seems like a "frightening 2023 for me." But Bethenny also mentioned it's not okay to be "emotionally harmful" to your partner, which Brady contended Hill was toward her.

Jonah still has not commented about the texts. Stay tuned, though.

Melanie Griffith Antonio Banderas Ink Officially Replaced ... With Her 4 Kiddos!!!

Melanie Griffith wears her heart on her sleeve in expressing her love -- just ask Antonio Banderas -- and now, she's got 4 new names in ink to show off her feelings.

The actress was sleeveless in L.A. Monday, revealing the fairly-new tattoo with an interesting location considering she once bore the name of her ex-husband, AB, in the exact same spot.

Now, she's completely scrubbed ANTONIO from her shoulder, replacing it with her kids' names.

The names are intersecting one another in an intricate design -- they're Dakota, Stella, Alexander and Jesse. One of those, Stella, is a child she shares with Antonio ... Alex and Dakota are kids of hers from other relationships -- and Jesse's her stepchild.

Melanie actually started the process of getting rid of her Antonio tat a few years ago -- a process she started after they'd split in 2014 -- and for a while ... her arm was completely tattoo-free.

It seems between then and now, though, she's had inspiration to get tatted anew.

BTW, this one is much more discreet and hardly visible, really. But something tells us she won't be getting rid of it anytime soon -- these are names that are around for the long haul.

Mama bear's blasted (again)!

Jonah Hill Ex-GF Posts His Alleged Texts ... Blasts Him as 'Misogynist'

Jonah Hill's alleged dirty laundry is getting aired out by an ex -- who's posting what she claims are a ton of old texts from him ... and painting him as a toxic partner.

Surf instructor Sarah Brady -- JH's former flame of about a year from back in 2021 -- is dragging the actor publicly on her Instagram account ... and she's not holding anything back in her repudiation of him as an alleged "misogynist narcissist," as she puts it herself.

Sarah has thrown up several text messages that she attributes to Jonah, and if they're to be believed ... it appears he was often concerned/upset about her posting photos of herself.

You can hop onto her IG Story for yourself to see the full characterization she's putting out there -- but bottom line ... it doesn't make Jonah look good at all. Sarah suggests Jonah was manipulative and controlling in their relationship ... and hurls even more allegations.

A lot of the alleged texts she posted appear to show Jonah as constantly bickering at her over a number of things -- whether it's photos of herself surfing, how she handles herself in social situations or even what a therapist she was seeing apparently thought of him.

She also blasts his understanding of "boundaries" ... and suggests he would often gaslight her to keep her under his thumb. BTW, the two of them would hit public events together -- and were photographed as a pair a handful of times.

That's what makes his even uglier -- now, she's even throwing around the word "abusive" to describe their dynamic ... although in a screenshot of a DM she posted, she makes it clear that the alleged abuse she claims she endured with Jonah was emotional, not physical.

Now, since Jonah and Sarah parted ways ... he has moved on with a woman named Olivia Millar, with whom he now shares a child. The couple welcomed a baby this past May, although the sex and name have yet to be revealed. Welp, Sarah's got thoughts on that too.

She says she hopes her ex -- obviously referring to JH -- has a girl, so that he can learn to become a true feminist. Sarah thinks the fact he calls himself a feminist now is laughable.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

One last dig she takes at Jonah stands in a photo she posted on her main timeline. It's a black and white shot of her, and it's one she claims Jonah was not comfortable with.

Sarah says, "reviving a pic I took down by request of a misogynist narcissist." In other words, she's alleging he actually asked her to take it down and leave it down, and that she did.

Jonah doesn't actively use social media, and does not appear to have responded to everything Sarah's claiming about him (a fair amount, no doubt). We've tried reaching out to his camp a couple different times now ... but so far, haven't heard anything back.

We covered it all on a recent episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Scottie Pippen Makes Splash With Mystery Flame ... She Exposes Her Chest

Scottie Pippen is seemingly trying to outdo his ex-wife Larsa when it comes to who can act racier with their dates.

Check out these photos, obtained by TMZ, which show Scottie driving an SUV with a woman in back as she posed for what could easily pass for a Playboy spread.

With the window wide open, the woman pushed up her shirt, exposing her breasts, covered by a white bra, for everyone to see. We're sure there were more than a few guys lovin' the view.

As for Scottie, he flashed a peace sign out his window while the two cruised out of a parking lot in Malibu Friday.

Taylor Swift Surprises Fans At KC Concert ... Ex-BF Taylor Lautner Appears On Stage

Taylor Swift and ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner were back together ... at least for one night on the pop star's Eras Tour.

FLIPPIN' FOR TAYLOR

The two Taylors reunited during Swift's Friday performance at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City ... and they were joined by none other Joey King and Presley Cash. Lautner was so psyched he did back flips and cartwheels onstage, causing the shocked crowd to go wild.

Swift brought out the three actors after premiering a new video for her tune, "I Can See You," starring all four of them. King and Presley have previously worked with Swift, making cameos in Taylor's 2011 video for her song, "Mean."

And, of course, Lautner was the inspiration behind Swift's track, "Back To December," on her 2010 "Speak Now" album, which just got re-released with a slightly new title, "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)."

At her KC concert, Swift gave huge props to Lautner, telling the audience, “He was a very positive force in my life when I was making the ‘Speak Now’ album, and I want to say he did every single stunt that you saw in that music video," referring to "I Can See You."

Swift continued, "He and his wife have become some of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because we all share the same first name.”

Lautner later posted a photo on Instagram, showing the three Taylors pointing at one another in a recreation of the famous Spider-Man meme. Lautner tied the knot with Taylor Dome last year. He dated Swift for a few months in 2009.
