Hollywood Exes

2:51 PM PT -- Cardi B says she and Offset banged on NYE ... but again denies they are back together.

In a social media post, Cardi reveals she had sex with her estranged husband but says they are still working on their issues, going to therapy and aren't officially ending their split.

Cardi B and Offset started off the new year together ... but she says that doesn't necessarily mean they are together again.

The estranged couple rang in 2024 at a strip club in Miami, throwing money around and dancing ... and it's all on video.

But Cardi says the NYE hangout -- which was a group hang -- isn't a sign they've kissed and made up ... far from it.

In fact, Cardi has a message for folks thinking she's back with Offset ... "we not together.. we together when I say so not when you THINK so."

Thing is ... Cardi and Offset were both in Miami for work ... they each had NYE gigs at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach - Offset performed at LIV and Cardi poolside - making this rendezvous pretty easy.

Cardi and Offset spending time together amid their split and then her denying they're back together is quickly becoming a thing ... it happened during Christmas and once again after they were spotted in NYC.

CB also said she's leaving toxic energy in 2023 ... and it's clear Offset doesn't fall in that category.

It will be interesting to see if Cardi and Offset do in fact patch things up again ... stay tuned.

Backstreet Boys singer AJ McLean is starting fresh in the new year ... he says he's getting divorced after previously separating from his wife.

AJ and Rochelle DeAnna McLean just released a joint statement on social media, announcing their plans to divorce.

The estranged couple says ... "As you all know we have been separated for over a year now. While we have hoped for reconciliation we have decided to officially end our marriage."

AJ and Rochelle continue ... "It is with deep love and respect that we have made this decision. Our focus now is moving forward in the healthiest way possible with friendship and co-parenting our girls at the forefront of this next chapter."

TMZ broke the story ... AJ and Rochelle told us back in March 2023 they were "temporarily" separating to work on themselves and their marriage. At the time, they told us they were planning to come back together.

In the wake of the separation, AJ told us he was using the time apart to work on his own demons and become a better version of himself.

Sounds like there will be no reconciliation though ... and it will be interesting to see who files divorce docs first.

AJ and Rochelle got hitched back in 2011 after 6 years of dating ... with his Backstreet Boys crew attending their wedding at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Britney Spears decided imagery was more powerful than words ... so she posted a couple of pics of her 2 sons without saying anything.

Sean Preston and Jayden James were front and center on Britney's last Insta posts of the year. The pics go back to happier times ... Britney and her kids holding some pups and looking super happy.  And then 2 pics just showing them goofing around.

It's going on at least 2 years since Britney's even seen her sons. They made it clear a while ago, they did not want to see their mom while she was acting out on social media, because they found it embarrassing.

Britney went after them after they suggested she needed mental health treatment ... she essentially called them ungrateful freeloaders.

The kids left for Hawaii several months ago with their dad, Kevin Federline ... a move to which Britney did not object. We're told the kids now text her occasionally, but there has been no face-to-face contact for 2 years ... maybe longer.

Britney seems ready to repair at least a few of her relationships ... Lynne Spears has visited Britney a few times recently, and Brit's in contact with Jamie Lynn.

As for her dad, Jamie, Britney posted a throwback pic of him with the kids the day TMZ broke the story Jamie had one of his legs amputated because of a terrible infection, but our sources say she has not reached out to him.

Tom Brady's massive new home is seemingly nearing the end of construction, as new photos show the extent of the build taken on by contractors for the NFL legend.

The home is huge, no doubt, but it's the extent of accessories and add-ons that the finished project is set to contain that is really the shock factor.

According to Daily Mail -- the home is estimated to cost close to $11.5 million when all is said and done -- complete with a waterfront, a massive pool with spa, multiple gyms and room for plenty of cars in his garage.

Of course, Tom purchased the property back in 2020 when he was still married to Gisele Bundchen for a reported $17 million.

Tom's taken the last year off after retiring last season from the NFL, considered the best QB to ever do it. Don't worry though, the lack of work doesn't have him strapped for cash -- Tom's worth an estimated $500 million.

Not to mention, whenever he's ready for it, he's signed on with FOX as an NFL commentator for $375 million ... so ya, if he wanted, he could build the same house a bunch of times over.

Mariah Carey tiene la prueba de que es la reina de las fiestas de Navidad... ¡cerró Gucci!

Carey estaba en Aspen -como ya sabemos- se paseó por las tiendas de lujo de la calle principal en su furgoneta Sprinter.

Mariah dio algunas vueltas y luego entró a la tienda, y para hacer su experiencia más cómoda, los empleados de Gucci cerraron las puertas para que pudiera comprar sin distracciónes.

Gucci puede haber tenido una buena razón para hacer esto, un grupo de curiosos se asomó a través de las ventanas para echarle un vistazo a la cantante.

Algunos clientes ya estaban dentro de la tienda cuando Mariah llegó con su vestido largo, gafas de sol, orejeras y, en particular, sin su novio de toda la vida, Bryan Tanaka, que recientemente rompió su silencio sobre la separación de la pareja.

Los testigos nos dicen que Mariah estaba relajada mientras miraba casualmente los artículos expuestos con sus cuidadores a su alrededor, incluyendo un guardaespaldas. No está claro si compró algo.

¡Qué escena! Mariah sabe cómo atraer a una multitud y atraer la atención, incluso en una ciudad que ahora está llena de celebridades.

Mariah Carey now has a golden receipt to prove she's the Queen of the XMAS holidays ... she shut down Gucci!!!

MC was in Aspen -- solo as you know -- as she rolled past the fancy stores on the main drag in her Sprinter van.

Her entourage at the ready, Mariah hopped out and entered the store, but to make her experience more comfortable, the Gucci honchos locked the doors so she could shop without distraction.

Gucci may have had good reason to batten down the hatches ... a gaggle of gawkers peered through the windows to get a look at the singer.

Some customers were already inside the store when Mariah arrived in her long dress, sunglasses earmuffs ... and notably, without her longtime boyfriend, Bryan Tanaka, who recently broke his silence on the couple's split.

Witnesses tell us Mariah was chill as she casually checked out the items on display with her handlers all around her, including a bodyguard. It's unclear if she bought anything.

What a scene! Mariah knows how to draw a crowd and steal the show ... even in a city that's now packed to the gills with celebs.

Cardi B llegó al punto de no poder más con sus fans por sus opiniones sobre ella y Offset, ¡¡¡y no le importaron sus cuerdas vocales cuando les gritó a todo pulmón!!!

La última crisis de Cardi ocurrió de la nada este viernes, apenas unos días después de que ella y Offset parecieran haber arreglado las cosas tras ser vistos durante una salida en Nueva York y de disfrutar las fiestas de fin de año con sus hijos toda la semana.

Cardi dejó claro que ella y Offset no habían vuelto a estar juntos cuando fue anfitriona de un chat X, más que todo fue solo ella la que habló a grito pelado.

La rapera de "Bongos" prometió dejar de seguir a todos sus principales fans al mismo tiempo que propinó su clásica amenaza de ¡¡¡borrar sus cuentas en redes sociales!!!

A Cardi recientemente le gustó un post que destacaba/ sugería que ella y Offset aún seguían separados, pero al parecer cayó en saco roto.

Cardi B's at her breaking point with her Barti fanbase spewing opinions about her and Offset -- and didn't spare her vocal cords when she lashed out at them!!!

The latest Cardi meltdown happened Friday ... just days after Cardi and Offset appeared to have patched things up as they were spotted during a NYC outing without their children -- in addition to taking the kids on holiday extravaganzas all week.

Cardi insisted she and Offset had not gotten back together when she hosted an X chatroom ... mostly a one-sided shouting match.

The "Bongos" rapper vowed to unfollow all of her top fans while including her most classic threat ... to delete her social media accounts!!!

Cardi recently liked a post that highlighted how she and Offset were still broken up, but apparently, it fell on deaf ears.

Joe Giudice is enjoying some quality time with his family this holiday season, because his ex-wife, Teresa, and their daughters flew to the Bahamas to celebrate New Year's together.

Joe shared the family pics Friday, showing him posing in front of a Christmas tree with his 4 daughters Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana ... as well as a pic of the kids with him and Teresa.

As you know, Joe was deported to his native Italy in 2019 after serving 3 years in prison for fraud ... so the ladies had no choice but to travel internationally to see him in the islands.

Teresa's new hubby, Luis Ruelas, also took the trip with the ladies ... with everyone cheesin' together in one of the pics.

Joe's daughters spent Christmas 2021 with him in Italy, but before you assume Teresa making the trek to see her ex is an awkward situation ... remember, they've kept things very copacetic.

The 2 still seem to have a great relationship, despite their divorce being finalized in 2020 -- Teresa told E! News last month that the family's plan was for everyone to spend the holidays with Joe ... and aying the kids were "so excited."

"General Hospital" star Steve Burton has finalized his divorce ... TMZ has learned.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge signed off the settlement reached by Steve and his now-ex-wife, Sheree Gustin, on Wednesday ... agreeing to joint legal and physical custody of their two minor children, Jack and Brooklyn.

Steve's paying Sheree $12,500 per month for child support ... $10,000 for 9-year-old Brooklyn and $2,500 for 17-year-old Jack.

When Jack turns 18 at the end of March, Steve's child support obligations to him will go away ... but he’ll continue to fork over the $10K for Brooklyn until she turns 18.

Steve and Sheree also agreed to waive any and all rights to spousal support ... but he's going to pay her $50,000 in $ 2,500-per-month installments.

TMZ broke the story ... Steve filed for divorce in July 2022 after 23 years of marriage, only two months after he claimed Sheree was having a baby and he wasn't the father.

Cher doesn't seem to trust her son Elijah to make sound financial decisions right now ... so the singer-songwriter has filed for a conservatorship to control access to his money.

In documents filed Wednesday, Cher claims her 47-year-old son is "substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues."

The documents state Elijah is entitled to regular payouts from a trust set up by his late father, legendary musician Gregg Allman, but Cher is concerned the money will immediately go toward drugs rather than basic living necessities.

The 77-year-old singer argues that she, as Elijah's mother, is in the best position to serve as conservator and also notes two of Elijah's siblings have nominated her to fill the role.

She also takes a dig at Elijah's estranged wife, Marieangela King, who she says is undermining Elijah's attempts at getting the mental health and substance abuse help he needs.

As we previously reported ... Marieangela accused Cher of kidnapping Elijah to force him into rehab last year, a claim Cher has unequivocally denied.

Cher no parece confiar en la capacidad de su hijo Elijah para tomar decisiones financieras en este momento, por lo que la cantante y compositora ha decidido solicitar una tutela para controlar el acceso a su dinero.

En los documentos presentados el miércoles, Cher afirma que su hijo de 47 años es "sustancialmente incapaz de administrar sus propios recursos financieros debido a graves problemas de salud mental y abuso de sustancias".

Los documentos afirman que Elijah tiene derecho a pagos regulares de un fideicomiso creado por su difunto padre, el legendario músico Gregg Allman, pero Cher teme que el dinero se destine a las drogas en lugar de a las necesidades básicas de la vida.

La cantante de 77 años argumenta que ella, como madre de Elijah, está en una mejor posición para servir como conservadora. También señala que dos de los hermanos de Elijah la han nominado para desempeñar ese papel.

También se burla de la esposa de Elijah, Marieangela King, de quien dice que está socavando los intentos de Elijah para obtener la ayuda que necesita para abordar sus problemas de salud mental y abuso de sustancias.

Como informamos anteriormente, Marieangela acusó a Cher de secuestrar a Elijah para obligarlo a rehabilitarse el año pasado, una afirmación que Cher ha negado inequívocamente.

Kim Zolciak showered her kids with gifts for Christmas despite her financial hardships.

Sources close to Kim tell TMZ ... she pulled together the dough she's made selling personal items online over the last few months ... ensuring the 4 kids she shares with Kroy Biermann didn't go without Xmas presents this year.

We're told the estranged couple's brood will always be their priority ... and despite the heightened drama between them, they chose not to travel for the holidays and instead were at home for the holiday at their Georgia mansion.

We don't know exactly what gifts she bought, but it must've been a pretty decent haul ... cause K&K have been making some serious $$$ selling designer goods online.

Earlier this month, Kim gave the boot to Kroy's shoe collection, selling them alongside her footwear and handbags ... tempting potential buyers with big names from Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Valentino & more.

Of course, they decided to sell, sell, sell due to their mounting lawsuits over unpaid credit card bills.

They've also put their Georgia mansion on sale ... though they recently slashed the $6 mil price by $500K out of desperation.

Kim Zolciak no se quedó atrás bajo el árbol de Navidad, ya que llenó a sus hijos y a los de Kroy Biermann de regalos a pesar de sus dificultades financieras.

Fuentes cercanas a la pareja distanciada le dicen TMZ que ella reunió el dinero gracias a la venta de artículos personales en línea los últimos meses, asegurando que los cuatro niños que comparten juntos no se quedaron sin regalos de Navidad de este año.

No dice que sus hijos siempre serán su prioridad y a pesar del drama creciente entre ellos, optó por no viajar para las fiestas y en su lugar de eso celebraron el gran día juntos en su mansión de Georgia.

No sabemos exactamente cuáles fueron los regalos que compró, pero debe haber sido un botín bastante decente porque ha podido hacer buen dinero vendiendo artículos de diseño en línea.

A principios de este mes, Kim se deshizo de la colección de zapatos de Kroy, vendiéndolos junto a algunos bolsos, tentando a los compradores potenciales con grandes nombres de Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Valentino y más.

Por supuesto, decidió vender, vender, vender debido a sus crecientes demandas por impagos de tarjetas de crédito.

También han puesto su mansión de Georgia a la venta a pesar de que recientemente redujo su precio de $6 millones por $500K de la desesperación.

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky are playing nice and eating nice -- especially in the presence of their kids ... which is exactly how they ended their day in Aspen.

The estranged couple broke bread together with their daughters Saturday out there in Colorado, where the family of 6 sat down at a table inside Matsuhisa and chowed down on sushi after a day of skiing up and down the snowy mountains.

In photos obtained by TMZ, you can see mom and dad were actually right next to each other during the meal -- and eyewitnesses tell us they looked cordial too ... no apparent animosity.

In fact, we're told they even spoke to one another a few times throughout their time there ... this while the kids were distracted on their phones. So, on its face -- a chill evening.

Pretty interesting, especially when you account for Mauricio's wild time 2 days before Kyle's arrival ... when he was partying shirtless and hanging with bona fide hotties on the slopes.

Truth be told, it's hard to gauge where things stand between him and KR ... but they certainly don't seem to be romantically involved. Perhaps they're just coparenting through the separation and trying to maintain normalcy in household as best they can.

Kroy Biermann is highlighting his holiday by snubbing his estranged wife, Kim Zolciak ... and her exclusion is jarring.

The retired NFL'er threw up a snap of him and his 4 kids with KZ -- Kroy Jr., Kash, Kaia and Kane -- with Papa Bear standing proudly behind them and grinning from ear to ear. His caption was also pretty telling on how he's feeling about his marriage/divorce right now.

He wrote, "Merry Christmas from the Biermann’s!!🎄 (-2 😢) I didn’t get a picture of the family enjoying @arianabiermann ‘s church service and I had this taken after @briellebiermann and Billy had departed in the direction of their car as we were almost outside from our service."

KB added, "I couldn’t be a more proud father of you 2 and the littles! ❤️ Got to do better at remembering to capture more pictures." Interesting ... he noted Brielle and Ariana here -- who are actually Kim's biological daughters -- but not their mother.

BTW, no posts from Kim herself ... she hasn't thrown anything up since mid-December.

This marks just the latest up-and-down moment for them ... for now, it seems like Kim and Kroy are on the outs -- this after sending signals of reconciliation just a month ago. Of course, they also had a huge blowout fight that required the cops to called over.
