'Iron Chef' star Cat Cora was stabbed in the back by her estranged wife, who intentionally ignored PR 101 -- let the celebrity file for divorce against the nobody.

According to documents filed in the divorce between Cat and Jennifer Cora, Cat's lawyer fired off an angry letter to Jennifer's mouthpiece, claiming they had a deal -- Cat would file the divorce petition for "public relations" reasons. Translation ... make it clear Cat was leaving Jennifer.

According to the letter, when Cat was flying somewhere, Jennifer backstabbed her and had her lawyer file for divorce. Cat's lawyer says Jennifer clearly did this out of spite.

The letter, written last October right after the petition was filed, was just included in the court file but makes it clear how nasty this divorce got.

Cat's lawyer also accused Jennifer of trash-talking Cat to their kids' school and to mutual friends.

Miranda Kerr wants you to know something about her boyfriend ... he did not create a boob app.

This is a super fun clip ... our photog -- a scrawny Aussie -- eased into the conversation by talking muscles and quickly moved to the subject of boobs, which he says is the staple of Snapchat.

Miranda, who's dating Evan Spiegel, begged to differ, but our photog then raised the penis.

Twista entered a not guilty plea in his marijuana possession case, and his legal team is looking into the possibility the rapper was profiled the night he got busted.

Twista was in the Porter County courthouse on Monday to face the misdemeanor charge. As we reported ... he and 3 other members of his crew got busted last month when cops pulled him over before his Valparaiso concert ... and found half an ounce of weed.

But Twista's attorney, Lakeisha Murdaugh with the Scott King Group, says the Rolls-Royce Phantom Twista was in might have tipped off cops the headliner was inside -- and she suspects the traffic stop was not random.

Murdaugh tells us she wants to review all police transmissions from that night to see what caught cops' attention.

Rick Ross has something in common with Rob Kardashian ... they're both wasting away, but there's one major difference -- Rozay isn't cutting back on his chicken wing intake.

Sources close to Rozay tell us he's determined to lose the lbs he packed on after his arrest for assault and kidnapping -- so, he's back on his RossFit program -- which requires daily workouts.

It's working. He's already down more than 60 lbs, and the weight loss was obvious in his recent Snapchat.

Our sources say Ross used to scarf down a huge plate of food before bed, but now he's eating earlier in the evening ... and he's eating more fruits, veggies and drinking water instead of soda. The boss is still cheating though. We're told he's still gotta have wings from his Wingstop restaurants.

The studios behind 'Barbershop' -- Warner Bros and MGM -- say the lawsuit "falsely attempts to discredits the gifted writers, producers, and directors" who have worked on the franchise. They also say they intend to go after Lawrence for filing an "exploitative suit.

"Barbershop: The Next Cut" is supposed to hit theaters Friday -- but a playwright wants a judge to shut it down immediately, because it rips off his stage play ... according to the guy's lawsuit.

JD Lawrence says all 3 'Barbershop' flicks, and the Showtime TV series, bear an uncanny resemblance to scenes from "Scissors" ... a play he wrote and toured around the country from 1998 to 2001.

He says his play was set in a barbershop in a black neighborhood, and focused on the shop's importance to the community ... which, of course, is the same as the movies.

Lawrence says the similarities include ... characters, plot lines, and events. He points out "Scissors" has an elderly owner -- just like Cedric the Entertainer's character, Eddie. And both feature similar discussions about the O.J. Simpson murder trial -- and white barbers who get clowned ... for being white.

He's suing Warner Bros and Showtime for at least $20 million, and wants to block the release of 'The Next Cut.' Tick-tock ... Friday's coming up real quick.

Kylie Jenner's cosmetics site has a shaky foundation, because it's been inadvertently exposing very personal customer information.

Here's the problem. When someone tried to log into the site, it would send them to an existing customer's account, revealing names, email addresses, personal addresses, order history, etc. Every time a customer refreshed the site, it would send them to another customer's account.

Customers of Kylie Cosmetics were understandably upset, and complained to her people. We're told they had no idea it was happening, and just made a quick, temporary fix.

A lot of people could have had their info compromised, because Monday was restock day for Kylie's Lip Kit -- which sold out immediately with over a million kits bought.

Chris Massey has been arrested for domestic violence ... TMZ has learned.

Massey was detained by security until cops arrived. He was arrested and booked for misdemeanor domestic violence.

BTW ... Jackson is the daughter of Shar Jackson, who has 2 kids with Kevin Federline. K-fed is not Cassalei's dad. Cassalei and Shar are featured on this season of "The Mother/Daughter Experiment: Celebrity Edition."

Massey was on the receiving end of a beatdown last year, when Lil Twist and others allegedly broke into Kyle Massey's house and attacked Chris.

As for the Vegas case, Massey has been released on bail.

2:15 PM PST -- Massey's telling friends he was indeed in an argument with Cassalei. He says when they were leaving the club she accidentally fell and security jumped to the conclusion he pushed her because they overhead their loud argument. We're told she's not pressing charges.

Dustin "Screech" Diamond just got sprung from jail a month early, due to his handiwork with a mop and bucket ... TMZ has learned.

Officials at Ozaukee County Jail in Wisconsin tell us Screech was released early Monday morning after serving just under 3 months behind bars for carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct.

We're told he was able to knock a month off his sentence by cleaning floors in the jail, and doing laundry.

J.B. Smoove isn't giving up hope, and neither should you ... he's putting the pressure on Larry David to bring back "Curb Your Enthusiasm" for one more season.

J.B. was on "TMZ Live" talking about his new movie, "Barbershop: The Next Cut" ... when we started talking about his other gigs on TV -- he's got a lot of 'em -- and it's clear which one he wants the most.

Larry's on record saying it just isn't gonna happen, but check out this clip ... J.B. is still pushing to get Leon Black and LD back together.

Translation: He's saying there's a chance!

When Cody Simpson tweets, his army of fans heed the call ... 'cause just hours after tweeting to his nearly 8 million fans, hundreds of them met him on a famous beach for an acoustic jam.

The Australian pop star performed Saturday well into the evening, giving his fans an intimate concert with the stunning backdrop of Rio's Copacabana Beach.

Justin Bieber gave Post Malone a sick burn ... literally.

Enter Malone's arm.

Caitlyn Jenner is learning what it means to be a woman -- she's learning how to fake an orgasm.

Check out the video for an upcoming episode of "I Am Cait" ... where Jenner and crew visit a gender-free orgasm workshop.

It's awkward but watchable ... like an ambulance at an accident scene.

Kate Middleton's been fully exposed ... 'cause now the world knows her royal dogs bark just like her royal subjects' do.

The Duchess of Cambridge kicked off her shoes during a visit to the Gandhi Museum in Delhi with Prince William -- and lo and behold, Kate's feet do NOT get the royal treatment. There is zero evidence of any fancy pedicure or nail polish.

Sure, you'd expect her feet to be done up to the nines, but Kate clearly does things her own way.

So, there ya go ... a princess (duchess) is NOT always waited on hand and foot.
