3:41 PM -- The divorce docs are in, and it was Memphis Garrett who filed first. According to the filing, obtained by TMZ, the 'BB' star is citing the classic irreconcilable differences for his reason ... and he wants a court to not sign off on giving Christmas Abbott alimony, noting she's gainfully employed.

There's no minor children ... and in terms of assets, Memphis wants a judge to divvy up what they have equitably. Pretty boilerplate -- but the larger message is ... the marriage is over.

No storybook ending for "Big Brother" alums Memphis Garrett and Christmas Abbott ... they are no longer living under the same roof, and they're hurtling toward a divorce.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ … Memphis and Christmas officially split last week when she filed for a temporary DV restraining order against Memphis and a judge granted her court-ordered protection.

We're told infidelity and lying are at the core of the breakup ... with Christmas feeling like Memphis is not the person she thought he was when she married him.

Our sources say Christmas has been asking Memphis for a divorce for several months now, and she's going to follow through soon and file divorce docs.

In the meantime, we're told Christmas has been granted occupancy of the family home in Fort Lauderdale.

We reached out to Christmas for comment and she tells TMZ, "It is unfortunate that the actions and intentions of individuals involved in this situation have led to the exposure of personal and sensitive information. I believe that matters of this nature should be resolved in a private and respectful manner. I ask for privacy at this time to focus on my family."

As for Memphis ... sources connected to his camp tell TMZ that he, too, suspects infidelity has been afoot -- we're told he believes it's actually Christmas who's been unfaithful, including over the past 6 months.

We're told Memphis feels like Christmas made up DV claims to get him caught up with the law -- and we're told cops did indeed escort him from their home with his son, River, in tow.

Memphis tells TMZ, "My heart hurts. I did not want to have to file for divorce. I was doing everything in my power to work on our marriage. I only wish the very best in life for her and Loyal" ... her 5-year-old son.

The couple does not have any children together.

Christmas has been going through a lot lately ... as we first told you, her baby daddy's been arrested for allegedly sharing explicit images of Christmas without her permission.

Our sources say Christmas' custody battle has taken a huge financial and emotional toll and her main concern is her son.

'BB' fans will remember Memphis and Christmas first met during season 22 of "Big Brother: All-Stars" when they forged an alliance together.

They confirmed they were an item after the season ended, and in 2022 they got hitched.

Terrence Howard just got hit with a fat tax bill that he now has to pay back to Uncle Sam -- after ignoring a federal complaint against him ... a judge just ruled he's gotta pay up.

The actor was ordered to pay close to $1 million Friday in a federal tax evasion case out of Pennsylvania that he's been wrapped up in since last year -- when the feds came after him for what they claimed were hundreds of thousands of dollars in back taxes he owed.

Specifically, they were attempting to recoup a huge tab from him in the amount of $578,000 -- amounting to a huge tax bill they claimed had gone unpaid from 5 tax returns between 2010 and 2019.

And now, all this time later ... they finally got a federal judge to throw down the gavel in their favor. The weird thing ... it looks like Terrence blew all this off.

According to the legal doc, obtained by TMZ, the court notes Terrence failed to appear or otherwise defend himself at all in this case. That's odd ... 'cause he's somewhat active on social media -- posting promotional stuff for projects he's involved in, etc.

As a result ... he's now technically on the hook for $903,114.72. This whopping amount covers the unpaid federal tax income assessments, penalties and interest accrued.

Jessica Vestal may have found love after all -- but it ain't with the dude who passed on her in the pods ... at least that's what she's saying now.

The 'Love Is Blind' star -- who exited after Jimmy Presnell chose Chelsea Blackwell (AKA the Megan Fox girl) over her -- gave an interesting update on her love life while appearing on Nick Viall's podcast this week ... namely, that she's dating someone from the show.

Though the single mom didn't name names ... she did say that she's "trying to sort things out" with her fellow cast members. She did hint that fans probably already know the identity of her new boo -- reminding viewers she "had another strong connection" in the pods.

This must have been something that happened off-camera ... because there was no other dude she was shown flirting with or connecting with in the pods. It was just Jimmy.

The cat might be out of the bag at this point on who her new lover is.. We broke the story ... Jessica was spotted out in L.A. over the weekend, with one of her season 6 costars.

In our video, Jessica was seen walking shoulder to shoulder through an LAX terminal with castmate Johnny McIntyre. -- who she never appeared with on 'LiB.' Also, Jessica's airport outfit included the same pink top and jeans combo she wore for her 'Viall Files' interview.

Now before we jump to conclusions -- there is no definitive evidence Johnny is Jessica's new suitor. They didn't show PDA at the airport -- but based on her description of the type of dude she likes ... it's kinda adding up, Johnny fits the bill.

Of course, Johnny's current season 6 fiancée, Amy Cortés, whom he picked in the pods, was noticeably absent at the airport outing ... which is telling on how things may shake out.

All eyes are sure to be on the 'LIB' finale next week, as Johnny and Amy are heading to the wedding altar. It'll be interesting to see if Johnny and Amy actually say "I do" -- and what ends up happening at the reunion ... which won't air for another couple weeks.

Several 'Real Housewives' stars are coming to the defense of Andy Cohen in the wake of Leah McSweeney's shocking allegations ... slamming her and rallying around their boss.

Several housewives are speaking out in support of Andy in the wake of Leah's lawsuit earlier this week ... making it clear they've never done drugs with the 'Watch What Happens Live' host.

Kyle Richards -- who said she was one of the housewives closest to Andy -- told Page Six that she has "never seen Andy do drugs, offer drugs or do anything inappropriate ever."

Kyle went on to praise Andy as a professional -- highlighting how he even refuses to follow many Bravo stars on Instagram to keep "a distance from all of them."

"RHONJ" star Margaret Josephs was equally vocal in her support of Andy -- she said point-blank that the father of two "has never offered any 'Housewife’ cocaine.'"

Margaret -- who notably doesn't drink -- adds ... "I am appalled that someone would just go so low to assassinate and target someone’s character in that way.”

Likewise, Cynthia Bailey ...  who appeared on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip" -- assured TMZ on Wednesday that she was "never forced" to drink and has definitely "never seen him do blow."

ICYMI ... the 'RHONY' alum hit Andy, as well as Bravo, with a discrimination lawsuit on Tuesday -- claiming the reality TV honcho created a toxic work environment, where AC allegedly used cocaine and encouraged other housewives and Bravolebrities to participate ... giving good TV edits to his favs.

A rep for Andy denied the allegations -- telling TMZ … "The claims against Andy are completely false."

'RHOC's Heather Dubrow and Meghan King have also offered up public support of Andy, applauding him for his professionalism and respect.

Leah isn't the only unhappy ex-housewife, however ... as 'RHOBH' vet Brandi Glanville also recently accused Andy of sexual harassment after he invited her to watch him hook up with another Bravo personality over FaceTime.

Andy hit back at that ... calling the exchange a joke that's been blown out of proportion.

A "Saturday Night Live" comedy trio is taking credit for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance -- but only if it goes the distance ... otherwise, they want nothing to do with it.

The topic of Traylor kickstarted when comics Ben Marshall, John Higgins, and Martin Herlihy -- who make up Please Don't Destroy on 'SNL' -- spilled the beans on working with Tay Tay.

They told host Mike Birbiglia on the 'Working It Out' podcast the star told them she had watched Travis' 'SNL' episode before they first met and she liked what she saw.

Ben added that Taylor told them she thought Travis seemed super funny in the clip ... saying that it was in that moment that they kinda, sorta brought them together.

However, Ben shared some serious reservations about taking credit for the Traylor romance -- only 'cause of Taylor's army of devoted fans, the Swifties.

He said that if things were to ever go south between the pair ... they'd be the ones getting roasted over the coals for it.

Travis, of course, got in on the action hosting 'SNL' in March 2023 -- about six months before he went public with Taylor. It's interesting ... they're saying this is when Travis first fell onto Taylor's radar -- but whether she was actually interested or not ... well, anyone's guess.

Travis also appeared in a pre-taped sketch written by Please Don't Destroy, where he played a hilarious self-defense instructor named Kurt Lightning ... so yeah, they have 'SNL' history.

Drew Barrymore's all for leaving the underwear in the dresser drawer ... but she says she's gotta keep her head on a swivel -- 'cause her daughter's got a penchant for pantsing.

The actress/talk show host revealed one of her daughters loves to pull her pants down around the house as a prank ... on account of DB walking around without undies on all the time.

Drew was sitting with her cohost Ross Mathews, 'SNL' star Chloe Fineman and singer Boy George when the question of going commando came up ... and Drew was first to admit she's all for feeling free down there.

And, DB's saying she doesn't just do it if she hasn't gotten to the laundry in a bit ... saying she actually enjoys dressing sans underwear -- a choice so well-known in her household it leads to the pantsing pranks.

Barrymore was quick to add her daughter is only doing it as a joke, and she said she's made it clear to her kid it's only an around-the-house kinda gag -- nothing for mixed company or the outside world.

Drew's got 2 kids with her ex-husband Will Kopelman BTW ... 11-year-old Olive and 9-year-old Frankie -- but, she didn't reveal which one's the little prankster.

She's not even the first celeb this week to cop to domestic nudity -- Bradley Cooper revealed he's always fully exposed at home, and even chats with his daughter while he's on the toilet and she's in the tub.

We're finally at the end of the week here at TMZ -- and finishing strong on our TV shows!

Let's start on 'TMZ Live,' where Harvey and Charles talked about the never-ending war between Kanye and Kim -- with the latest swipe being taken by Ye, who publicly griped about where their 4 children go to school ... calling out the expensive/private one they all attend.

While KW fired away online, we're hearing Kim's fuming angrily behind the scenes.

Moving on over to 'TMZ on TV,' the gang talked about a huge move in the fact Oprah is stepping down from the board of Weight Watchers -- a partnership she's been in for years.

Some speculate it all has to do with the fact she's on weight-loss drugs now ... although, WW and O are trying to make it seem this uncoupling is very friendly, and very kumbaya.

Lastly, we're on 'TMZ Sports,' where Bacock and Mojo talked Tom Brady's new 40-yard dash.

Antes de que esta dulzura sonriente se pusiera delante de las cámaras y se convirtiera en una leyenda mundial, era una estudiante con honores y trabajaba en la tienda de comestibles local cuando era adolescente en Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Cuando solo tenía 17 años, ganó un concurso de belleza y consiguió una beca completa para la Universidad Estatal de Tennessee. Sin duda, Chicago fue un orgullo para ella durante más de 25 años, antes de establecerse en Santa Bárbara.

Le encantan las excursiones y la jardinería, ¿necesitas una pista más?

Before this smiling sweetie posing on the porch was in front of the cameras and turned into a global legend, she was an honors student and worked at the local grocery store as a teen in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

When she was just 17 years old, she won a beauty pageant and earned a full ride to Tennessee State University. She definitely made Chicago proud for over 25 years before settling down in Santa Barbara.

And she loves her hikes and she loves her gardening ... Need one more hint ... O, i think you can guess!

Tish Cyrus está siendo acusada de robarle el novio a su hija y luego convertirlo en su marido, y en medio de todo el ruido, el propio hombre se dirige hacia el mar.

Dominic Purcell -la ex estrella de "Prison Break", que ahora está casado con Tish- fue a surfear el jueves en Malibu, donde era solo él y su tabla cogió algunas olas y disfrutó de un poco de tiempo a solas en el océano durante un día sombrío.

Las fotos son bastante geniales, Dom parece saber lo que está haciendo. Luce como un surfista bastante experimentado y no un principiante, al menos eso es lo que podemos deducir.

Lo más notable es el ambiente nublado y las olas agitadas que parecen reflejar la situación en la que él y su esposa se encuentran ahora, es decir, directamente en contra de su hija -Noah- quien se informa ha estado saliendo con Dominic antes de que Mamá lo acapara para ella.

Teniendo en cuenta lo guapo que se ve Dominic aquí, suponemos que podemos entender el atractivo, pero si lo que se está informando acerca de cómo él y la relación de Tish surgió es cierto... bueno, es un poco desagradable por decir lo menos.

Recordemos que la afirmación es que Noah estuvo en realidad con Dominic primero, y que Tish finalmente comenzó a dirigirse a él a través de redes sociales.

La línea de tiempo que se ha informado es un poco borrosa, pero parece que hubo algunos problemas, lo que podría explicar por qué Tish y Noah están distanciados.

Todavía hay un montón de preguntas sin respuesta... pero en cualquier caso, Tish y Dom fueron vistos el miércoles en los talones de esta gran noticia de última hora y ninguno de ellos parecía dispuesto a hablar con los paparazzi al respecto.

Tisha y Dom iban en vehículos separados para su almuerzo en Los Ángeles, y cuando Tish se alejó, ella mantuvo sus ventanas habiertas haciendo caso omiso de las preguntas de los fotógrafos.

En cuanto a Noah, ella no ha dicho mucho acerca de esto públicamente por el momento, pero el hecho de que ella faltó a la boda de Tish con Dominic el pasado mes de abril es revelador, especialmente a la luz de este presunto desarrollo.

No hace falta decir que la familia Cyrus está seriamente fracturada en este momento, ya que parece que algunos de los niños han tomado partido en todo este asunto, por no mencionar el reciente divorcio entre Tish y Billy Ray. Miley parece ser anti-Bill, y Noah es anti-Tish.

Ya había mala sangre, pero ahora se le agregó leña al fuego y no pareciera que las cosas vayan a calmarse.

Tish Cyrus is being accused of stealing her daughter's boyfriend and then turning him into her own husband -- and amid all the noise ... the man himself is heading out to sea.

Dominic Purcell -- the former 'Prison Break' star, who's now married to Tish -- went surfing Thursday out in Malibu, CA ... where it was just him and his board as he caught some waves and enjoyed a little solo time out in the ocean during a gloomy day.

The pics are pretty cool ... Dom seems to know what he's doing out there, looking like a fairly seasoned surfer and not a kook (beginner) -- at least that's what we can glean.

More importantly though ... the overcast environment and choppy waves also seem to telegraph the situation he and his wife are now in -- namely, squarely against her daughter, Noah, who is reported to have been dating Dominic before Mama Bear swooped in.

Based on how studly DP looks here, we suppose we can understand the appeal -- but if what's being reported about how his and Tish's relationship came about is in any way true ... well, it's a little unsavory to say the least.

Remember ... the claim that's been floated here is that Noah was actually with Dominic first -- and that Tish eventually came along and started hollering at him over social media DMs.

The timeline that's been reported is a little fuzzy, but it seems like some overlap may have possibly occurred -- which might be able to explain why Tish and Noah are now estranged.

There are still a lot of unanswered questions about this ... but in any case, Tish and Dom were both spotted out Wednesday on the heels of this big news breaking -- and neither of them seemed ready to talk to paps about it.

Tisha and Dom were rolling in separate vehicles for their lunch outing in L.A. -- and as Tish pulled away, she kept her windows rolled up ... ignoring questions from the photogs.

As for Noah, she hasn't said much about this publicly just yet -- but the fact she skipped Tish's wedding with Dominic last April is telling ... especially in light of this alleged development.

It goes without saying ... the Cyrus family is seriously fractured at the moment, as it seems some of the kids have taken sides in this whole thing -- not to mention the somewhat fresh divorce between Tish and Billy Ray. Miley appears to be anti-Bill ... Noah's anti-Tish.

There was already bad blood in their brood as it was ... but now, this is yet another divide that's being thrown into the mix -- and it doesn't sound like things are gonna simmer down.

Here's a milestone for Jussie Smollett -- he's completed a rehab stint for substance abuse.

Sources close to Jussie tell TMZ … earlier this month, the former "Empire" star finished a 5-month outpatient program.

We're told Jussie put in the work, focusing on his health and being consistent with his workouts during his time in rehab.

Remember ... Jussie's substance abuse came up frequently during his criminal trial in Chicago, which is still hanging over his head as he continues to fight his conviction and jail sentence.

On the bright side, our sources say Jussie's new management team is hard at work gearing him up for the upcoming release of his new film and other projects.

As we reported, Jussie checked himself into an outpatient treatment facility back in October, and during his rehab stint, we saw him reading Matthew Perry's memoir ... which, of course, detailed the late actor's own struggles with addiction.

Jussie continues trying to push forward through the past several years of adversity. Completing rehab was one hurdle, and the next big one will be his legal battle.

"Love Is Blind" is facing a conspiracy theory that the show is staged after a supposed script was spotted in a scene from season 6 -- but TMZ knows the truth ... and it's all live, baby!

A still shot of contestant Jessica Vestal from earlier this season is making the rounds online -- which shows the single mother with a notebook filled with printed-out text sitting on her lap during a pod date with Jimmy Presnell.

Since the notebook was presented like a regular ol' journal ... fans were quick to speculate that the Netflix reality series might be hiding something -- namely, that the whole thing is staged, to be exact, and that Jess wasn't taking notes but rather ... reading lines.

Despite the rampant speculation, a production source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... the show is absolutely not scripted, and the printouts in question are merely questions the contestants are provided in case they need some ideas on topics to hit in conversation.

For example, we're told some of these questions seen in the journals could be something like ... "What’s your favorite color," or something else personal to keep the vibes flowing.

Our sources tell us that the prompts you see are simply meant to help the contestants get to know each other. Remember, the 'LIB' contestants initially meet with a wall between them -- so a little assistance isn't wildly unexpected, and that's exactly what this is.

Now, whether the contestants are overselling the notion these are just plain old notebooks to scribble things down in -- when there are clearly things written in there ahead of time for them -- is a different story ... because yes, they most certainly do seem to be playing it up.

The point is, though ... there's no scandal here, and there's no script either. We're told 'Love is Blind' is 100% live reality TV -- and what you see is what you get in terms of interactions.

BTW, this isn't the first time the notebooks have been questioned by viewers.

The journals were actually called out way back in season 3 -- when a similar photo ... this time featuring Cole Barnett -- was posted to X. At the time ... one fan declared they were left with "so many questions" over the journal.

You gotta fight for your right to party ... and apparently, Rob Gronkowski didn't earn that privilege after getting drafted back in 2010 -- revealing the Patriots were SUPER pissed at him for celebrating on stage during his big night.

The future Hall of Famer detailed the hilarious interaction with his new team just minutes after they took him with the 42nd overall pick ... saying they called him amid his family's passionate huddle and told him to cut it out.

"They said, 'Hey, Rob. You can get off the stage now,'" Gronk said in a clip from the upcoming episode of "The Dynasty: New England Patriots" on Apple TV+. "'Enough is enough.'"

"And I'm sitting there like, 'Wow, I'm already in trouble! It's been five minutes since I've been on the Patriots and I'm already in trouble!'"

Everything ended up working out in the end ... as Gronk and Tom Brady became one of the most successful duos in NFL history -- winning four Super Bowls together (three with the Pats).

Speaking of Brady, he also unsurprisingly gets some airtime in the latest episodes ... revealing he wanted to continue playing after suffering a season-ending ACL injury in September 2008.

Of course, that didn't happen ... and the Matt Cassel era began, leading New England to an 11-5 record in Brady's absence.

Dr. Phil isn't afraid to voice his concerns about a red flag in the political arena -- and that'd be Joe Biden's apparent difficulty remembering things ... and his cognitive ability at large.

The TV star and medical professional stopped off at "TMZ Live" Thursday to chat about his new book, "We've Got Issues: How You Can Stand Strong for America's Soul and Sanity" -- and the convo eventually turned to Biden's doctor recently claiming he was fit for duty without needing a physical or neurological exam.

He declared this with conviction, despite many public examples of him forgetting basic deets.

Of course, Biden's all-clear raised eyebrows among some -- including Phil ... who tapped into his days practicing in brain, central nervous system, and cognitive ability fields to weigh in on the situation.

With this in mind, he tells us POTUS if didn't have anything to hide regarding his brain power, he would theoretically have no issue undergoing a transparent neurocognitive test.

Biden's memory loss has become prime material for online roasting sessions -- especially among Republicans -- and even Jon Stewart couldn't resist taking a jab at him during his recent "The Daily Show" return to the hosting chair.

In fairness, JS also went after his opponent -- roasting Trump for being unable to remember basic stuff ... which is a pretty crucial trait to have if you're running the country.

Just don't ask Dr. Phil to throw his hat into the presidential ring anytime soon. He tells us he's been approached for the important gig several times, but he just doesn't know enough about politics to take it all seriously. With that said, he is exploring politics more lately.

Oprah se separa de WeightWatchers después de casi una década, una decisión que viene seguida de las críticas que recibió luego de decir que utiliza una droga para perder peso.

La compañía de pérdida de peso dejó claro en su comunicado oficial el miércoles que no hay mala sangre con Oprah y su salida de la Junta de Directores no se debe a ningún desacuerdo con la empresa o cualquier cosa relacionada con las operaciones de la empresa, políticas o prácticas.

La CEO de Sima Sistani dice: "Aunque yo y el resto de nuestros directores ciertamente la echaremos de menos en nuestras reuniones de la junta tras el final de su mandato actual, ella sigue siendo una voz estratégica, fuerte y colaboradora de WeightWatchers".

Dicho esto, la salida de Oprah se produce unos meses después de confesar el uso de medicamentos para bajar de peso en diciembre. La admisión levantó cejas, sobre todo porque ella había hablado en contra de medicamentos como Ozempic y Mounjaro meses antes.

Como ya informamos, Oprah reveló que bajó 40 libras en 2023 y parte de su estrategia implicó la medicación prescrita por los médicos, pero nunca ha revelado el nombre de la droga.

Algunas personas, sobre todo la gurú del fitness Jillian Michaels, criticaron a Oprah por no ser transparente con el hecho de que WeightWatchers invertió en un popular medicamento para perder peso. Se especulaba con que Oprah se beneficiaría enormemente de abogar por el uso de dicho medicamento.

Oprah en realidad está abordando directamente esa crítica al salir de la empresa -WeightWatchers dice que está donando su participación del 1.4% al Museo Nacional de Historia y Cultura Afroamericana para "eliminar cualquier conflicto de intereses percibido en torno a su toma de medicamentos para bajar de peso".

A propósito, el anuncio de su salida está perjudicando a las acciones de la compañía, las cuales se desplomaron más del 20% inmediatamente después de la noticia que se conoció el jueves por la mañana.

Perder a Oprah nunca es algo bueno para ninguna organización, sin embargo, ella asegura que nunca ha estado mejor en cuanto a salud, tanto física como mentalmente a medida que pierde kilos.
