Akon
Ordered to Pay Kid Support
Right Now (Na Na Na)

Exclusive
0518-akon-tmz
Akon has been ordered by a judge to cough up $5,000 a month in child support ... which would be considered MASSIVE ... except for the fact that he's raking in over $40,000 per month.

TMZ broke the story ... Akon filed a paternity case against Rozina Negusei (one of his many baby mamas) because he wanted the court to establish custody, child support and legally recognize him as daddy Akon to their two young sons.

As part of the process, Akon had to file docs about how much money he makes. He listed his income as $40,708/month and based on that number, a judge ordered him to pony up $5,000/month for the kids.

According to the docs, the judge took into consideration that Akon makes SIX other child support payments.

As for the rest of it ... Akon's baby mama received sole physical custody and the two will share legal custody. Akon also gets a say in all major decisions and will cover health insurance for the two boys.

MJ's Ex-Housekeeper
Key Witness in Wade's
Molestation Lawsuit

Exclusive
0517_wade_mj_01
The Neverland housekeeper who graphically described seeing Wade Robson naked in a shower with Michael Jackson ... will play a huge role in whether Robson wins a cent from MJ's Estate in his new civil lawsuit, TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the case tell us Wade's lawyers are dissecting Blanca Francia's testimony during Jackson's 2005 molestation trial.

During the trial, Francia -- who worked at Neverland in the late '80s -- testified she witnessed Jackson showering naked with a 7 or 8-year-old Wade.

We obtained a transcript of the testimony in which Francia describes seeing Michael's underwear on the floor outside the shower, as well as Wade's child-sized neon green underwear.

She said she couldn't see what Michael was doing exactly because the shower door was fogged up, but said she heard him laughing.

Ultimately, Francia's testimony wasn't enough to sway the jury -- MJ was acquitted -- partly because Wade himself also testified, but insisted Michael never touched him.

TMZ broke the story ... Wade is planning to argue that MJ's companies -- MJJ Productions and MJJ Ventures -- had a duty to protect him because they were involved in recruiting him from Australia to work with Michael.

According to sources, Wade wants to use Blanca's testimony to show Michael abused him as a child. We're told Wade's lawyers are also trying to contact her to see if she will cooperate in the new case.

Miley Cyrus
Swatted Again

Exclusive
0518-miley-cyrus-tmzMiley Cyrus is now a two-time member of the Swatted Club ... after cops were called to her house last night for yet another fake 911 emergency ... TMZ has learned.

According to our sources, cops received a 911 call at around 8:55 PM last night from a female claiming to be calling from her closet and reporting shots fired in her home.

Of course, when cops arrived ... they quickly determined the call was not real.

Our sources say Miley was not home at the time of the incident.

One of our photogs rolled by Miley's crib not long after the call was place and found the coast all clear.

This isn't the first time cops have been dispatched to Miley's crib on a bogus call. Miley was swatted last August, which was one of the first ... in what has turned out to be many ... such incidents.

Farrah Abraham
Sex Tape Bikini
YANKED Off Ebay

Exclusive
0515-farrah-abraham-bikini-ebay
The sale of the bikini Farrah Abraham wore for the cover of her sex tape has hit a snag ... eBay has pulled the listing down because it hasn't been washed since she wore it.

As TMZ first reported, Vivid Entertainment -- the porn studio behind the release of "Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom" -- listed Farrah's pink crystal-encrusted two-piece with a starting bid of $500.

We're told eBay removed the listing and sent Vivid an email, saying, "Due to health and hygiene concerns our policy does not allow used clothing to be listed on the site unless the item has been washed first."

When the listing was pulled, bidding had reached a whopping $14,700!!!!!

We're told Vivid will wash the bikini and re-post the listing in a couple of days.

Beyonce
Slams Pregnancy Rumors
... But Doesn't Deny Them

0518-beyonce-sub
Beyonce posted (and quickly deleted from Instagram) a harsh response to the rumors she's carrying baby #2 ... bashing the media as "low life people who have nothing better to do than talk about me."

It's an odd response to a pregnancy rumor -- it's not like reports are saying she's hooked on drugs or splitting from hubby Jay-Z. A simple "Yes it's true" or "No it isn't" would solve the problem ... but she opted for neither.

So we gott ask ...

Beyonce -- pregnant?

  • Yes
  • No

Taylor Hicks
'American Idol' Judges
Come w/ An Expiration Date

Exclusive
051813_taylor_hicks_launch
Just how replaceable ARE "American Idol" judges?  According to "Idol" champ Taylor Hicks ... SUPER DUPER REPLACEABLE.

Taylor was out in L.A. on Friday when our photog asked the season five winner the only interesting thing left to ask about "Idol" ... is it time to replace ALL the judges?

Randy Jackson -- the last remaining original judge -- made his exit after the season finale, and it's been reported that newbie judges Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban are all on the chopping block.

But Taylor is unfazed by the "A.I" shake up and believes the "revolving door" of judges COULD be a way to save the slowly dying show.

And in case you forgot who Taylor is, here you go:

Dick Trickle
Wisconsin Speedway
Plans Black-Flag Tribute

Exclusive
05117_wisconsin_intl_raceway2The Wisconsin racetrack where Dick Trickle forged his legacy -- winning TONS of races en route to becoming a NASCAR star -- is honoring the driver with a special pre-race ceremony when stock car season kicks off later this month, TMZ has learned.

It's all happening at the Wisconsin International Raceway in Kaukauna, WI (just south of Green Bay) -- where Trickle won so many races during his pre-NASCAR career, track officials named a building in Turn 2 the "Dick Trickle Pavilion."

We've learned ... officials at the W.I.R. have greenlit plans to commemorate their local hero with a memorial lap in Dick's honor on May 30 ... with the pace car carrying a black flag.

A rep for the company says Trickle was "a true champion, good friend and will be missed by all."

As we previously reported, officials say Dick died Thursday from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in North Carolina.

Mariann Gavelo's Ass
Yes, It's Real ...
And It's Not Done Growing!

Exclusive


We already love Mariann Gavelo's redonkulous ass -- and now we love it even more -- because the smokin' hot actress tells TMZ her dumps like a truck are 100% real ... and getting bigger every day.

It was a moment for the history books ... Mariann displayed her booty at the Maxim Hot 100 party this week, but it was so spectacular ... an argument erupted in our newsroom: COULD IT BE REAL?

Mariann -- who's appeared in "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "Casa De Mi Padre" -- tells TMZ those cheeks aren't fake. She says, "My bottom is real ... Real!!!"

She explains, "I used large diapers as a kid. Seriously, the older I get, the bigger it gets." Hooray!

As for people (like us) who only comment on her curves, Mariann has a little message ..."Don't you like my face too?"

Um ... yes. yes. yes. yes. yes.

Allegations of
Credit Card Abuse

Exclusive

Deion Sanders
' estranged wife would've SCOFFED at a $6k credit card bill when she was happily married to a rich guy ... but now, she's RUNNING from it, this according a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.

We've learned ... Capital One has slapped Pilar Sanders with a big, fat lawsuit in Texas for allegedly failing to make payments on a $6,160.25 bill ... an amount she used to consider chump change.

We've been reporting for months ... Pilar and Deion are at WAR -- and Prime Time even kicked her out of his Texas mansion. Pilar has lawyered up and wants a cut of the NFL legend's fortune, estimated at more than $250 million.

But for now Capital One just wants its $6k ... and according to court docs, the bank says it reached out to Pilar in January, 2013, demanding she cough up the cash ... but she never paid.

Now, C.O. is suing for the full amount plus court costs.

David Cassidy SUED
C'Mon, Get ...
To Paying Your Giant Bill!

Exclusive
0503-david-cassidy-tmz
"The Partridge Family" star David Cassidy is learning the hard way ... it's never a good idea to stiff your lawyers, no matter how dreamy you are (allegedly) ... because they'll sue your bell-bottom pants off.

David -- aka the Justin Bieber of his day -- is being sued by Rodier & Rodier law firm, which claims David racked up $134,221.50 worth of legal bills from 2006 to 2011 ... but never fully paid them off.

In fact, the lawyers say the former teen idol has only coughed up $25,000 to date -- and now they're asking the court to force David to fork over the remaining $109,221.50 ... plus interest.

A rep for David tells TMZ ... "There seems to have been a misunderstanding between them which I believe will be amicably resolved."

We're guessing with a check.
