Jessica Simpson's Mom
Files for Divorce
Exclusive Details
1024-tina-joe-simpson-divorce-doc-getty
Jessica Simpson's mother Tina has filed for divorce from Jessica's dad Joe.

Tina filed the papers in Texas last month, claiming, "The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities."

Tina and Joe were married in 1978. They have no minor children.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Tina claims she has separate property from Joe and wants to keep it. It's unclear what that property is.

In the county where Tina filed, there are specific rules about how divorcing spouses have to behave toward each other during proceedings -- they can't curse at each other, harass each other over the phone, or physically attack each other ... basically they HAVE to act like civilized adults.

If one spouse violates the rules, they could be found in contempt of court.

Joe filed a response to Tina's divorce petition days later, insisting Tina get nothing from the split.

Joe and Tina both played a pivotal role in turning their daughters Jessica and Ashlee into pop superstars.

Lance Armstrong
Booted from Nike
Steps Down from Livestrong
Breaking News

Nike has ended its contract with Lance Armstrong -- claiming the athlete "misled" the company amid allegations of doping.

"Due to the seemingly insurmountable evidence that Lance Armstrong participated in doping and misled Nike for more than a decade, it is with great sadness that we have terminated our contract with him," the company says.

Armstrong also announced he will step down as chairman of the Livestrong cancer-fighting charity as of this morning. Nike says they will continue to support the organization.

"To spare the foundation any negative effects as a result of controversy surrounding my cycling career, I will conclude my chairmanship," Armstrong says in a statement.

The move comes a week after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency released a report detailing Armstrong's direct involvement in what it called "the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen."

As we previously reported, Lance has been banned from cycling for life ... but he still denies any wrongdoing.

Nick Lachey Poses with Son Camden in Matching Jerseys

1011_nick_launch
Camden Lachey is only a month old, but Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo's son is already a football fanatic!

The 98 Degrees singer shared a new photo of him and his newborn son on Tide's Facebook page as part of a new promotional campaign ... showing the proud papa kissing the cute kid on his head while wearing matching Cincinnati Bengals jerseys.

"As a diehard NFL fan, I am thrilled to be a part of Tide's 'Show Us Your Colors' campaign and show how I'm passing along the love of my team to my son," said Nick of his partnership with Tide. "Football is more than just a game -- it's a lifestyle and a game where your team's colors mean everything. I can't wait to work with Tide, the brand that keeps these colors true."

Lachey also opened up about his son's name, Camden.

Nick had originally liked the name "Colin," but when Vanessa nixed they started looking for another "C" name.

He tells PEOPLE they came up with the name after visiting Minnillo's obstetrician's office on Camden Dr.

“We didn’t really know anyone else named Camden. It was such a neat name," he says. "We fell in love with it and decided on it five or six months ago.”

EXCLUSIVE
1010_bieber_house_x17
Justin Bieber is the latest victim of a 911 "Swatting" prank ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

A 911 call came in last night ... the caller claiming someone was waving a gun right next to Justin's L.A. home.

Police sent the cavalry ... cars, helicopters, the works. Sources tell us ... Justin's security let the cops in, and they did a sweep of the house but found nothing. We're also told cops did a similar sweep of 2 other homes on the block.

The block is a super-exclusive area peppered with celebs, including Travis Barker, Romeo, Kourtney Kardashian, and a number of athletes.

In the end, we're told cops determined the 911 caller engaged in a swatting prank using an app ... that's what law enforcement told us. The same thing happened recently to Miley Cyrus and Ashton Kutcher, and a bunch of non-famous folk.

Selena Gomez Gets a New Neck Tattoo!

1001_gomez_launch
Selena Gomez is following in her boyfriend Justin Bieber's footsteps ... and added another tattoo to her body!

While Bieber has at least 7 tatts (so far!), Selena got her second over the weekend at Bang Bang Tattoos in New York City.

So ... what is it?

The 20-year-old singer got LXXVI on the back of her neck, the Roman numerals for 76.

According to the tattoo artist, "The tattoo was a tribute to a family member who she said means a lot to her."

Bang Bang adds, "Selena was nervous it might have been painful, so she held her best friend's hand the whole time. But she did a great job."

This is Selena's second piece of body art. She also has a music note on her wrist. -TOOFAB
