... or are you just a complete idiot?
Floyd Mayweather and a hundred thousand of his closest friends -- plus Diddy, Ray-J, Mario Lopez and Jermaine Dupri -- hung out at XS in the Encore hotel after the Manny Pacquiao fight last night.
Common sense eventually prevailed. Floyd put the money away rather than "make it rain."

Jermaine Dupri may need to call his GF Miss Jackson, because he's been nasty!
Dupri is being sued by Aika Kendrick, who claims JD recorded a personal phone call with her and used it on a song without her permission. Kendrick wants $250k for her vocals being used. JD could have hired Paris for half that!
Daz Dillinger and Virgin Records are also named in the suit.

Jermaine Dupri held a VMA pre-party last night.
No shots were fired.

Jermaine Dupri is speaking out about the shooting that took place at the party he hosted in Atlanta, saying, "I'm sad this incident happened because it interrupted a beautiful and loving party. I'm happy none of my people or friends got hurt. And the party continues."
Because why should a small thing like someone getting shot ruin a perfectly good weekend?
This isn't the first time Jermaine has been associated with a club brawl. Back in October 2007 his good friend and fellow rapper Da Brat was arrested for allegedly assaulting a waitress in a nightclub that Dupri owned.
Another incident in 1995 turned deadly when a close friend of Suge Knight was shot and killed following a party Dupri held in Atlanta.

Lanky Jaslene Gonzalez, "America's Next Top Model" cycle 8 winner, was flat-out denied from Snoop Dogg's "Ego Trippin" album release party at Touch in NYC last night. The Covergirl tried to be easy, breezy, and beautiful - but after posing and strutting for paps, Miss "ANTM" was still not allowed past the velvet rope. Awkward!
Jermaine Dupri and Snoop Dogg both arrived after the incident, and pimps walked right into the club. Well ... it was the Doggfather's party.
When asked about the situation - Lizzie Grubman, Jaslene's publicist, told TMZ "Why wouldn't they let a beautiful supermodel in -- it's news to me!"
No word yet from Snoop's reps.

Janet Damita Jo Jackson had a late night hospital visit yesterday -- but that didn't stop her little man Jermaine Dupri from getting his party on.
TMZ caught Jermaine with Jay-Z at Butter in NYC right around the time Ms. Jackson checked in to the ER at Cedars-Sinai in L.A. with the flu. When asked for feedback on her condition, Dupri kept mum. It's like that y'all.

TMZ and a herd of photogs spotted a baby-totin' Isla Fisher yesterday as she left the Mercer Hotel in Soho. A stalker chased Isla while trying to pass off his CD -- and blocked paps from getting a shot -- Isla wasn't havin' any of it. Nearby, Gabriel Byrne walked by Da Silvano -- not giving anything up.
In L.A.: Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri arriving separately at S Bar, then leaving together. Kate Hudson finishing a fish dinner at Nobu in Malibu. Jerry Stiller faced photogs at Chateau Marmont, and Lionel Richie drove his lady in a Beemer.

The mere sight of Mark Wahlberg was enough to set off the waterworks for a teenage girl in NYC yesterday, Mark repeatedly telling the girl, "Don't cry" -- as he drove past her in his SUV.

Christina Aguilera and hubby Jordan Bratman hung up their hula skirts and opted for a casual date night in NYC.
TMZ cameras spotted the couple heading into The Waverly Inn & Garden in Greenwich Village for dinner, and Jordie, ever the gentleman, opened the door for his wife and helped her out of the limo -- ain't no other man like him! Eva Mendes was caught leaving the eatery as well.
Later that night, Jermaine Dupri, Travis Barker and Paul Wall hit up Stereo, arriving in an Escalade brigade, whereupon Dupri and Wall amped up and brought the house down.
Also out in NYC -- Pete Wentz, celebrating his birthday with girlfriend Ashlee Simpson at his bar Angels and Kings, and Travis from Gym Class Heroes, who had some profound words about the ladies inside the bar.
All this and more in today's where's-King Kong-when-you-need-him edition of Star Catcher.

UPDATE: Dupri, who refused to return TMZ's call for comment, issued the following statement to another news outlet:
"Just to set the record straight, I was pulled over because the police said my exhaust pipes were too loud, I had tinted windows and platinum motor plates. Nothing more, nothing less."
OK Jermaine, but it still begs the question, who the hell gets put in the back of a police car for tinted windows?!
For more than a day, TMZ has been asking the L.A. County Sheriff's Department why deputies pulled Jermaine Dupri over and then put him in the back of a cop car before releasing him. The best answer we've gotten from one of the deputies who made the stop -- "It's personal ... it's none of your business."
The rapper and music mogul was pulled over as he drove his Lamborghini Tuesday afternoon in West Hollywood. His passenger was also taken to the cop car and placed in the back. The doors to the vehicle were all wide open when cameras arrived.
A number of TMZ users have been speculating that it's a case of racial profiling. One user wrote, "It's the cops hating again. Paris is going to jail so it's time to start hating blacks driving $250k cars."
A spokesman for the Sheriff would not comment. Interestingly, neither would Dupri's rep.

TMZ obtained video of a traffic stop yesterday in West Hollywood. It shows Jermaine Dupri in the back of an L.A. County Sheriff's car.
Dupri's Lamborghini was near the squad car, doors wide open. After a while, deputies let Dupri leave. It is unclear if Dupri, Janet Jackson's fiance, was cited for anything. It is also unclear why deputies detained him, and why they let him drive away.
We contacted the Sheriff's Dept. West Hollywood substation but the watch commander had no info on the stop.
Dupri's peeps did not return our calls.

Is Kevin Federline a good luck charm? Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri seem to think so.
Mr. Britney Spears rolled up on the hip-hop couple during a hot night in Vegas this week, and did something he's not really known for -- K-fed made some money!
It all went down after the one-year anniversary party for TAO nightclub in Las Vegas. Kevin Federline ventured down at 3:30AM to play some craps, but there was a problem -- the high roller table he approached was packed and marked as 'reserved' for Janet and Jermaine. Unfortunately it seemed all K-Fed could do was watch. Luckily, Federline is tight with a member of Jermaine's entourage, who then invited the "PopoZao" singer to join the group.
TMZ spies tell us that as soon as K-Fed bought in for $1000, Janet picked up the dice. JD then announced to the table everyone that his woman had never played craps before and this would be her first roll. We are not sure if Janet rolled a 7 or 11, but a short time later the table erupted with cheers and everyone won money.
We're told that the fun only lasted roughly fifteen minutes, because the famous couple had to return to their private blackjack table. K-Fed was then proceeded to play all by his lonesome.
