Dennis Rodman says whether or not he boozed it up and bolted from a Super Bowl party, he still deserves to get paid -- and now he's going in for the kill.
Rodman made a deal to host a party in Tampa for four hours at $20,000. But the company that agreed to pay him claims he stayed less than three hours... and that's why it stopped payment on the $7,500 balance.
There's another reason why the company stopped payment -- it claims Rodman and his posse racked up a whoppin' $10,000 in additional expenses, including lots and lots of liquor.
Rodman may get the last laugh, because the company never responded to his lawsuit for the $7,500, so he just won a default judgment -- which means you snooze, you lose.
But Dennis has another money menace to worry about ... there's this little $225,000 judgment against him for slapping a chick's butt.

Not many people receive multiple paychecks for doing something one time -- but Miley Cyrus ain't your average gal.
We just got our hands on one of Miley's minor contracts, which shows the 16-year-old will receive a fat paycheck because a show called "Disney Channel Backstage" wants to use some stock footage of her when she hung out with the Muppets.
The contract promises to stuff Miley's Hello Kitty money clip with $7,500 -- meanwhile she doesn't even have to re-lift a finger.

K-Fed's gonna have to spend some of his babysitting money bailing out the US government -- and it's something he should have done a long time ago.
The IRS has slapped a lien on Federleezy to the tune of $14,371 in back taxes, according to The Detroit News. It's not like he's not making money. Federline is pulling in $30,000 this month alone for babysitting his two kids.
Clearly Kevin's sperm is not only potent -- it's extremely lucrative.

OctoMom's new home: $564,900.00
OctoGrandma's house debt: $534,289.54
OctoMom letting OctoGrandma's house be auctioned off today: Not priceless.
We're guessing it was just easier to buy a new house than it was to dig the old house out of the hole, because OctoGrandma's home -- the one OctoMom Nadya Suleman lived in for years -- is being sold this morning to the highest bidder.
Angela Suleman's home goes up for bidding at 11:30 AM -- and the auction will be held on the steps of the Pomona Superior Courts building in, well, Pomona, Cal.
We hear OctoMom's futon is nice this time of year.

There's a reason Cameron Frye will never return to the house where he and Ferris Bueller ruined his dad's precious Ferrari back in the day -- it's too damn expensive!
Alan Ruck, 52, who looks virtually the same as he did in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" way back in '86, was at LAX yesterday, where he said there's no way he could meet the home's $2.3 million price tag.
What happened to all that "Spin City" cash!?

It's been two years in the making, but Calvin Klein is finally destroying his notorious $30 million Hamptons mansion -- known famously as "Dragon's Head."
CK had been trying to get approval to tear down the 55,000 square foot castle so he could replace it with a newer, sleeker model -- and judging by the photo taken earlier today, dude finally got the green light.
Calvin's new place will only be 17,000 square feet, spread between three buildings -- but the coolest part, they're all going to be connected with underground tunnels.

Here's the house that has triggered the epic fight in the divorce between Kate Walsh and Alex Young. Alex wants to know how much money he should get from the property. But here's the deal -- they bought it for $4.95 mil in 2007 -- but It's now only worth an estimated $3.6 mil. So according to our math, Alex is SOL.
By the way ... Kate put down the lion's share of the down payment and he left her with the mortgage and the bills.
