An accountant’s support worksheet in a filing is an argument. It is not a child-support judgment. On Sept. 18, 2026, TMZ reported new legal papers in the divorce money fight between Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley and her estranged husband, PK Kemsley. PK’s accountant claims Dorit should pay $581 a month in child support even though the filing lists PK’s average monthly income at about $107,943. Dorit’s monthly income is redacted. The implication the worksheet is selling is that she earns more. Implication is not a finding. Income affidavits and guideline worksheets are evidence the court weighs. They are not an order until a judge signs.

The same papers, as TMZ described them, say Dorit spent $32,000 on family expenses from January through August 2026, $435,000 on clothes and jewelry, and $56,000 on travel, while PK spent about $1.9 million on family expenses from April 2024 through March 2026. Those are numbers in a party submission. They are not a forensic audit the court has adopted. Dorit filed for divorce in early 2025. The court has signed off on a home sale amid foreclosure threats. The two sides have been trading mortgage and spending accusations. Accusations are pleadings.

As of Friday, Sept. 18, 2026, there is no signed support judgment for $581.

Page Six says unsealed records from the Lively-Baldoni fight include Ryan Reynolds texts calling Baldoni a "predator and sociopath."

A text message in a court file is proof that someone wrote something. It is not a finding that what he wrote is true. Reynolds was angry in August 2024, and the records Page Six obtained show it. Baldoni has denied Lively's allegations from the start, and no jury ever ruled on them. Page Six reported the case settled in May. What is left now is the paper trail.

LAPD homicide detectives searched Joshua Tree on Friday for evidence in Christina Downer's disappearance.

A search by homicide detectives is a step in an investigation. It is not an arrest, and it is not a finding that anyone killed Christina Downer. Fox News reported the LAPD would not say what evidence detectives hoped to find in Joshua Tree, or whether they were looking for remains or a suspect. NBC Los Angeles reported that dogs were part of the search. Fox News reported a department spokesperson could not confirm the dogs. No one has been named or charged.

LAPD booked Gregory Walker on a felony assault count in the February shooting of 49ers lineman Keion White.

A booking described to a newspaper is the police account of who is in custody and on what count. It is not a criminal complaint the public has seen, and it is not a conviction. The New York Post reported that LAPD officials named Gregory Walker as the suspected gunman in the February shooting of Keion White. The Post did not report a charge against Lil Baby, who was described as the person White argued with before the shots. What a witness told police about two gunshots is an allegation. A jury has not heard it.
