Kevin Costner's lawyer is incredulous ... blasting estranged wife Christine Baumgartner for asking a judge to make him pay $885k to argue a single issue in divorce court.

Disso queen Laura Wasser filed her blistering response to Christine's request ... explaining the fees would supposedly be incurred for a mini-trial over one issue in the prenup -- whether her waiver of spousal support is enforceable.

Christine's lawyers say it will take $885k to make their case -- and they want Kevin to foot the bill -- but Wasser fired back that based on hourly rates, Christine's legal team would have to put in 1,106 hours to justify the fee.

Wasser calls Christine's ask "nothing short of outrageous," also noting the judge has already indicated the prenup is enforceable, so the road Christine's going down is a dead end.

Christine has not only lost most of the legal battles in the divorce, she's actually lost more than if she had settled with Kevin. For example, she originally wanted $248k a month in child support, which Kevin rejected and claimed the reasonable amount was $63k. Nevertheless, he offered to pay her $75k a month, but Christine rejected that offer and duked it out in court. In the end, the judge said $63k was the appropriate amount.

Wasser says Kevin's already paid Christine $300k in legal fees, and also allegedly took $105k from Kevin's accounts to feed her legal team.

And there's this ... if Christine challenges the prenup and loses, she'll have to return more than a million bucks Kevin gave her and also pay his lawyer's fees.

Jonathan Majors just wanted to satisfy his craving for In-N-Out, but stopped a beatdown instead ... swooping in the middle of a high school fight to break things up.

We got the actor in West Hollywood Monday, hours after stopping 2 girls from fighting each other at the fast-food chain -- at a location next to Hollywood High School.

Jonathan's not sure what sparked the brawl, but makes it clear he just wanted to make sure folks didn't get hurt in the scuffle, so he stepped in. Jonathan's also hoping the girls are doing alright after the fight, and he's got some cool & simple words for those involved.

As we reported, Jonathan is currently in the middle of a legal battle with his ex-girlfriend -- he was arrested in March for misdemeanor assault, aggravated harassment, attempted assault, and harassment after allegedly slapping her in a taxi.

Jonathan Majors sólo quería satisfacer su antojo de In-N-Out, pero en su lugar decidió detener una pelea de estudiantes secundarias en el lugar, abalanzándose sobre ellas para acabar con el pleito.

Nos encontramos con el actor en West Hollywood el lunes, horas después de que parara una riña entre dos chicas en un restaurante de la cadena junto a Hollywood High School.

Jonathan no está seguro sobre cuál fue el motivo que provocó la pelea, pero deja claro que sólo quería asegurarse de que las chicas no salieran heridas en la refriega. Por eso intervino. Jonathan también espera que las muchachas se encuentren bien, y tiene palabras de buena onda y amabilidad para ellas.

Como informamos, Jonathan se encuentra actualmente en medio de una batalla legal con su ex novia. Fue detenido en marzo por un delito menor de asalto, acoso agravado, intento de asalto, y acoso después de supuestamente abofetearla en un taxi.

Taylor Swift is seein' stars in the Big Apple ... they just happen to be her good pals, as she did dinner with Gigi Hadid, Ryan Reynolds, Channing Tatum and some equally famous significant others.

The singer hit up Emilio's Ballato restaurant Monday evening in NYC, where Ryan showed up with his wife, Blake Lively, and Channing pulled up with his arm around GF Zoë Kravitz.

That's not all ... Cara Delevingne also attended the big dinner date. FYI, Cara was spotted leaving the studio with Taylor last week -- not long after the singer announced she's hard at work on re-recording her "1989" album.

As you know, Taylor's been putting in some serious studio time for a while now -- during and after wrapping up the U.S. leg of her "Eras" Tour ... which became a national phenomenon.

Don't forget ... Taylor, Channing, Zoë, and Cara were all together last month for Jack Antonoff and Margaret Qualley's wedding in New Jersey, too, so they've all been keepin' up with one another lately.

Taylor Swift está viendo estrellas en la Gran Manzana, pues la vimos cenando nada más ni mada menos que con sus buenos amigos Gigi Hadid, Ryan Reynolds, Channing Tatum y otras personalidades igualmente famosas.

La cantante fue al restaurante Emilio's Ballato el lunes por la noche en Nueva York, donde Ryan apareció con su esposa, Blake Lively, y Channing llegó abrazado de su novia Zoë Kravitz.

Eso no es todo ... Cara Delevingne también asistió a la gran cena. Para su información, Cara fue vista saliendo del estudio con Taylor la semana pasada, no mucho después de que la cantante anunciara que está trabajando duro en la regrabación de su álbum "1989".

Como saben, Taylor ha estado trabajando duro en el estudio desde hace un tiempo, mientras tocaba e incluso después de terminar su gira "The Eras Tour" en Estados Unidos, que se convirtió en un fenómeno nacional.

No oliven tampoco que Taylor, Channing, Zoë y Cara estuvieron juntos el mes pasado en la boda de Jack Antonoff y Margaret Qualley en Nueva Jersey, por lo que todos se han visto mucho últimamente.

Josh Duhamel y su esposa, Audra Mari Duhamel, están ampliando su familia. La pareja acaba de anunciar que esperan un bebé en los próximos meses, según ha indagado TMZ.

Audra hizo el anuncio este lunes, con la publicación de una foto de su sonograma, una flor blanca y el mensaje: "Muy pronto, Baby Duhamel"

Josh le propuso matrimonio a Audra en enero de 2022, después de varios años de noviazgo, y los dos se casaron en septiembre pasado. TMZ dio la noticia de su boda, la que ocurrió en Fargo, Dakota del Norte. Duhamel es un nativo de Dakota del Norte.

Obtuvimos fotos de Josh, Audra y un puñado de amigos después de la ceremonia, ambos manteniendo un perfil muy bajo y simplemente disfrutando de la compañía del otro.

El bebé Duhamel sería el segundo hijo de Josh. Él y Fergie tuvieron a Axl en 2013.

Josh Duhamel and his wife, Audra Mari Duhamel, are expanding their family by one, expecting a little one in the coming months ... TMZ has learned.

Audra made the exciting announcement Monday, posting a photo of her sonogram, a white flower and the caption, "Baby Duhamel coming soon."

Josh proposed to Audra in January 2022 after several years of dating, and the two tied the knot last September. TMZ broke the story of their wedding, which happened in Fargo, North Dakota ... Duhamel's a North Dakota Native.

We obtained pics of Josh, Audra and a handful of friends at a local watering hole after the ceremony keeping it super low-key and just enjoying each other's company.

Baby Duhamel will be Josh's second kiddo ... he and Fergie welcomed their son Axl back in 2013.

Gary Busey may have to prove he's a good driver ... cops are considering trying to get the actor to retake his driving test in the wake of his latest alleged traffic mishap.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... sheriff's deputies in Malibu are very familiar with Gary's alleged poor driving habits, and cops are strongly leaning toward submitting paperwork to the DMV requesting a driving retest for the 79-year-old.

We're told Gary has been involved in multiple car accidents in the past few years ... and with last week's alleged hit-and-run aftermath caught on video, police are thinking of ways to take action.

TMZ broke the story ... Gary was chased down by a woman who claims he rear-ended her car in Malibu and fled the scene, and she recorded their confrontation on PCH.

Law enforcement tells us the Busey incident remains under investigation and no arrests have been made, nor citations issued.

Puede que Gary Busey tenga que demostrar que es un buen conductor. La policía está considerando la posibilidad de que el actor vuelva a tomar su examen de conducir a raíz del supuesto accidente de tráfico que tuvo por última vez.

Las fuerzas del orden le dijeron a TMZ, que los ayudantes del oficial en Malibú están muy familiarizados con los presuntos malos hábitos de conducción de Gary, y los policías se están inclinando fuertemente a la idea de presentar documentos a la DMV (Dirección del Tránsito), para solicitar una nueva prueba de conducción para el actor de 79-años de edad.

Nos han contado que Gary ha estado involucrado en varios accidentes de carro en los últimos años, y con el presunto choque y fuga de la semana pasada, grabado en video, la policía está pensando alternativas para tomar medidas.

TMZ dio la noticia. Gary fue perseguido por una mujer que asegura que la chocó por detrás en Malibú y huyó de la escena. La mujer grabó el enfrentamiento en la Pacific Coast Highway.

La policía nos dijo que el incidente de Busey sigue bajo investigación y que no se han hecho detenciones ni citaciones por el momento.

DC fans think Jason Momoa and Amber Heard are getting sidelined in the lead-up to "Aquaman 2" -- and the rumored reason ... the studio's reportedly preparing for a bomb.

The comic book crowd is in a frenzy this weekend amid some gossip about "Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom" -- which is coming out in December ... but which has yet to show off any official marketing material, including first-looks, teaser trailers or much of anything else.

The lack of promotion is starting to concern some of the most fervent DC heads, and many have wondered why Warner Bros. is taking their time. Welp, one purported comic book scooper -- who's often credited with insider knowledge -- says he has the answer.

KC Walsh of The GWW wrote in response to one fan, "Because they know it’s bad, they know it’ll lose money, and they aren’t putting a marketing budget behind it at all."

It's unclear if KC is actually citing sources within the industry, or if he's just floating his own theory on why the trailers have been slow to roll out -- so take his words here with a grain of salt. Still, though ... his "report" is being taken seriously by a lot of comic-centric outlets.

More importantly, the logic seems to make sense to many -- and this all has to do with how DC's latest big superhero movies recently did at the box office. Of course, there's "Blue Beetle," which didn't make much money at all ... but the big mistake lies in "The Flash."

The Ezra Miller-led film reportedly cost hundreds of millions of dollars to both shoot and market -- and, as we all now know, the movie performed abysmally ... leaving WB in the red.

Lop on the alleged fact that this new movie supposedly stinks, and it's no wonder Warner would be wary to pour even more money into 'Aquaman 2' -- the budget of which is said to have ballooned north of $200 million through a ton of different reshoots amid the pandemic.

Plus, there's the strike that's still ongoing ... not to mention lingering Amber hate, as well as James Gunn's overarching reboot of the DCU. With all these factors combined, it's easy to see why WB possibly scaling back the "Aquaman 2" rollout actually checks out.

Warner might have experienced a windfall in "Barbie," but appear to have issues elsewhere.

A las 5:25 PM Warner Bros. ha lanzado el teaser trailer de "Aquaman 2". Esto en medio de un montón de quejas de los fans que temían que el estudio dejara la película a un lado.

Warner debe haber puesto atención a todo el ruido de Tuiter, porque han subido una promoción de 30 segundos con la promesa de que el tráiler completo saldrá el jueves. El teaser te da una idea de la acción y la trama pero hay una ausencia notable.

No hay mucho metraje de Amber Heard que podamos ver. El tiempo dirá si aparece en el tráiler completo.

Los fans de DC creen que Jason Momoa y Amber Heard están siendo dejados de lado en los preparativos de "Aquaman 2", y el rumor dice que el estudio se está preparando para una bomba.

El público de los cómics está en un frenesí este fin de semana en medio de algunos chismes sobre "Aquaman y el Reino Perdido" —la cual se estrena en diciembre— pero que aún no ha mostrado ningún adelanto.

No está claro si KC está citando realmente fuentes de la industria o si sólo está lanzando su propia teoría sobre por qué los tráilers han tardado tanto en salir, así que hay que tomar sus palabras con cautela. Sin embargo, su "informe" está siendo tomado en serio por muchos medios centrados en los cómics.

Y lo que es más importante, la lógica parece tener sentido para muchos y todo esto tiene que ver con cómo les ha ido recientemente en taquilla a las últimas grandes películas de superhéroes de DC. Por supuesto está "Blue Beetle", que no hizo mucho dinero en absoluto, pero el gran error está en "The Flash".

La película dirigida por Ezra Miller supuestamente costó cientos de millones de dólares tanto para rodar como para comercializar y, como todos sabemos, la película no funcionó y dejó a Warner en números rojos.

Si a esto le sumamos el hecho de que esta nueva película supuestamente apesta, no es de extrañar que Warner sea reticente a invertir aún más dinero en "Aquaman 2", cuyo presupuesto se dice que se ha disparado por encima de los 200 millones de dólares a lo largo de un montón de diferentes sesiones de rodaje en medio de la pandemia.

Además la huelga está en curso, por no mencionar el persistente odio a Amber, así como el reinicio general del DCU de James Gunn. Con todos estos factores combinados, es fácil ver por qué Warner podría dar paso atrás con "Aquaman 2".

Warner experimentó una ganancia inesperada con "Barbie", pero parecen tener problemas con otras producciones.

Chris Evans is a married man -- that is, if a report about his would-be nuptials is to be believed.

Page Six cites insiders who claim the 'Avengers' star got hitched this weekend to actress Alba Baptista during an intimate ceremony at their Boston-area home. The outlet says they only close friends/family, but even then ... made sure to lock down any potential leaks.

The way they apparently did this, per PS ... making everyone sign NDAs and confiscating phones. As far as any famous faces who witnessed it -- Chris's Marvel costars Robert Downey Jr., Jeremy Renner and Chris Hemsworth are said to have been among the guests.

If true, obviously that's huge ... as Chris hasn't ever been married, despite being one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood for years. He's rumored to have been linked to a number of women ... but we know he's dated Jessica Biel, Jenny Slate and Minka Kelly.

As far as his relationship with Alba, it's been as low key as you can imagine -- with Chris dropping only glimpses into their romance here and there since going IG official in January. They're reported to have begun dating in 2021, and spent much of 2022 living together.

President Biden loves those old western films, evidenced in the fact that he once again quoted his favorite John Wayne line ... which still doesn't seem to exist as he describes it.

Joe was out in Vietnam this weekend where he was talking shop with other global leaders, and at one point he was addressing climate change ... and used a line he believes is from a JW movie to hit the point home about folks who deny global warming exists.

Of course, he again invoked his favorite old-timey phrase -- "lying, dog-faced pony soldier" -- to suggest the people who say climate change isn't real are bold-faced liars.

Joe describes the scene he believes this line, which he's dropped before, is from -- and apparently it has something to do with Native Americans being deceived by Union soldiers ... with one of the tribesman telling John's character that they're full of it.

He doesn't say which film, specifically, this is from ... and even his description of the scene is a little fuzzy. Funny enough, Joe used this quote before -- back in 2020, while he was campaigning, he called a young woman this to her face after she asked a question.

At the time, his remark was perceived as rude and a little out of pocket on JB's part -- but journos also discovered the "dog-faced, pony solider" mashup simply doesn't exist as Joe remembers it. He appears to be mixing lines from a couple different John Wayne movies, not to mention an entirely separate film ... the 1952 Tyrone Power flick called "Pony Soldier."

Joe Jonas squarely broke his silence over his impending divorce from Sophie Turner Saturday, saying it's been rough.

Joe and his bros performed in front of a packed audience at Dodger Stadium, where he took the mic and said this ...

“It’s been a tough week. I just wanna say, look, if you don’t hear it from these lips, don’t believe it. Okay? Thank you everyone for your love and support. Me and my family love you guys.”

As we reported, Joe filed for divorce Tuesday, saying his marriage was irretrievably broken. TMZ broke the story, a key reason he's ending the marriage is a difference in lifestyles ... and the straw that broke the camel's back was ring video/audio of Sophie, although we do not know the nature of what was seen/heard.

Joe got backlash on social media ... so addressing the divorce was not unexpected.

Joe and Sophie issued a joint statement ... "After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narratives as to why ..."

Arnold Schwarzenegger has been temporarily sidelined from working out, after going under the knife.

Sources connected to the 76-year-old bodybuilder/actor/politician tell TMZ ... Arnold had nerve damage in his elbow that required surgery last Thursday. Doctors put a protective cast on his entire right arm, so Gold's Gym is without its leader ... but probably only for a week.

He got in his last workout just hours before the operation, and now he's getting his exercise by strolling in the SoCal sun.

Arnold released a never-before-seen video last week, revealing his 2018 heart surgery was way more serious than anyone knew. It was supposed to be a routine, non-invasive procedure to replace a heart valve, but something went wrong and doctors quickly decided to do full-blown open-heart surgery.

A member of Laura Linney's team was assaulted by an autograph hound -- and considering how close this guy got to the star herself ... it's a testament to the need for bodyguards.

The 'Ozark' actress was in NYC Friday for Fashion Week, and as she was leaving an event -- escorted by a handler of some sort, it seems -- some dude came out of nowhere and attempted to approach her for her John Hancock ... and aggressively, right out of the gate.

The man she's with -- who, again, seems to be rolling with her in a working capacity -- is in the way of the overzealous fan at first ... who becomes visibly angry and pushes past him in order to approach Laura from the front, at which point he extends a photo for her to sign.

Laura's team member, though, cuts him off and tells the dude to back off. He also denies touching the autograph hound ... as it seems the man felt he was shoved first.

That's when things turn left, and quickly ... as the guy starts to walk away in frustration, he throws Laura's team member's head forward -- almost giving a half push/half smack, with some noticeable strength behind. It was clearly jarring enough to shock the crowd.
