Dweezil Zappa -- Marriage in the Crappa

Former MTV VJ Dweezil Zappa's marriage is coming to an end -- but not before he could continue his father Frank Zappa's obsession with giving children ridiculous names.

Dweezil's wife just filed for divorce in L.A. County Superior Court, and according to the documents, she wants Dweez to share joint legal custody of their two daughters: Zola Frank and Ceylon Indira.

In the docs, Dweezil's wife of five years -- Lauren Knudsen -- cited irreconcilable differences.

Just to jog your memory, Dweezil's sisters are named Moon Unit and Diva.

Kelsey Grammer Swings Dirt Cheap Settlement

Kelsey Grammer just paid $10 to make a lawsuit over "Swing Vote" disappear forever -- less than the cost of a ticket to see the flick.

Kelsey and a host of others were sued back in August 2008 by Bradley Blakeman, who claimed the movie was his idea. The judge threw out claims against Kevin Costner, Disney and the other defendants, leaving only Grammer.

The case was going so bad, rather than continue on ... Blakeman accepted $10 from Kelsey about a week ago... and it went away.

Let's hope this is the last time someone has to fork over money for "Swing Vote." Kidding ...

Jesse James Gets Personal During CHP Stop

TMZ has learned Jesse James was stopped by the California Highway Patrol four days ago, and the conversation Jesse had with the officer got very personal -- about his private woes involving Sandra Bullock.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ James was pulled over last Friday outside of Blythe, California on the 10 Freeway after a CHP officer noticed he didn't have a front license plate and was driving his black Mercedes with tinted windows.

We're told the officer had a 15 minute conversation with James that got very personal. We're told James discussed his marital problems with the officer, who eventually decided to let Jesse off the hook with a warning ... the first break he's caught in 2 weeks.

One source tells TMZ James said he was heading to Arizona to save his marriage, though the source would not elaborate.

Cops Also Worried about Lindsay Lohan

The people closest to Lindsay Lohan aren't the only ones who are alarmed at her condition -- some police officers who routinely come in contact with Lindsay tell TMZ they have thought seriously about forcing her to get help.

Cops who see Lindsay at her worst -- late nights and early mornings when she needs assistance avoiding the paparazzi -- tell TMZ they have been concerned about her "erratic behavior" and "attitude" -- which have grown progressively worse over the last few months.

We're told during one of Lindsay's crazier nights out recently, cops became so concerned they discussed taking her in for a 5150 evaluation.

Cops decided against it because she didn't meet all the criteria for a 5150 -- they felt she could still take care of herself -- though feebly.

As we first reported, a professional who is extremely close to Lindsay fears she's going to die if she doesn't get help for substance abuse ... stat.

Dr. Murray: Why Apologize? I Did Nothing Wrong

TMZ has learned Dr. Conrad Murray has not reached out to Michael Jackson's family to apologize for the death of the singer. As for why Dr. Murray has not apologized ... he believes he did nothing improper that would have led to Jackson's death.

A source connected to Dr. Murray tells TMZ ... Dr. Murray does not believe the Propofol he administered to the singer killed him, not withstanding the L.A. County Coroner's conclusion that Jackson died from a lethal overdose of the anesthetic.

The source tells TMZ the reason Dr. Murray never told paramedics about administering Propofol is because he had no idea the drug was a factor in Jackson's demise.

As for allegedly hiding Propofol bottles in the closet at Jackson's house ... Dr. Murray's people note it was the doctor himself who informed LAPD detectives two days after Jackson's death that the bottles were in the closet.

Prince Humiliated by the Fighting Irish

Prince is the subject of a public shaming in Ireland after a judge decided to release information about the singer's recent court battle because the Purple One isn't paying the piper.

High Court Justice Peter Kelly just announced that Prince owes nearly $3 million in damages to concert promoters for bailing on a 2008 show in Dublin at the last minute.

According to Kelly, the two parties reached a settlement back in February -- but Prince hasn't paid the promoters a dime.

In a related note -- during the case, an agent who worked with Prince told the court that the singer is a royal pain in the ass to work with ... and when the agent informed Prince of the Irish problem, Prince said, "Tell the cat to chill. We will work something out."
