Riff Raff I Hate Math ... 12 - 2 = $69,000 for My Landlord
Rap genius Riff Raff confused the number 12 with the number 2 -- at least according to the landlord who says Mr. Raff came up way short on his rent checks.
The rapper's been ordered to cough up 10 months of unpaid rent plus interest and court costs -- which comes out to $69,288 ... according to docs. RR signed a 12 month lease for the San Fernando Valley pad in July 2014, but the landlord says he was gone by September. The place appears to be unoccupied these days.
On the bright side ... Jody Highroller wasn't ordered to pay for any damage to the house, so we're assuming the 40 gallon fish tank is still intact.

Tyga Pays Off Huge Jewelry Debt ... aka Kylie's Best Gift Ever
Tyga just gave Kylie Jenner an early holiday gift by saving her ass from a financial grilling for the low low price of $200k.
We're told Tyga recently forked over $100k, plus some interest, to celeb jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills. This represents the full balance owed after Jason won a judgment against him. Stop snickering ... as we've reported, Tyga's using his cash, not Kylie's, to settle the bill.
It's a huge relief for Kylie, since Jason's lawyers planned to make her reveal her financial info as part of their debtor's exam on Tyga.
Best part of this gift to Kylie? It can't be repossessed -- but as we reported, Tyga might not be fully out of the financial woods just yet.

Fogle, Guidice and Dassey Inmates Chow Down on Thanksgiving Grub
Jared Fogle, Brendan Dassey and a bunch of other famous prisoners may have given up many of their inalienable rights, but not the right to get the bird on Turkey Day.
We surveyed the landscape, and here's what the joints are offering for Thanksgiving dinner:
Brendan Dassey (Wisconsin)
The "Making a Murderer" star gets roasted turkey with giblet gravy, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, biscuits, pumpkin pie with crust on top, veggie salad and chocolate milk.
Suge Knight (Los Angeles)
Suge's meal is similar to Dassey's, but he gets a dinner roll instead of a biscuit and a pumpkin muffin instead of pie ... and milk without the chocolate.
Kevin Gates (Florida)
The rapper also gets a traditional meal, but add corn and a fruit turnover to the spread. Sorry, no milk. Gates' prison also serves a vegetarian option of rice, beans and fruit.
Joe Giudice & Apollo Nida (New Jersey)
The 'Real Housewives' hubbies will chow down on a traditional meal, cafeteria-style, that includes stuffing and dessert.
Jared Fogle (Colorado)
The ex-Subway spokesman now eats fresh at the Federal Correctional Institution in Englewood, and he gets turkey and ham or, alternatively, eggplant/baked tofu. Colorado seems to have the best menu ... it includes cornbread dressing, corn and sweet potato casserole.

Sark's divorce from his longtime wife, Stephanie, has been finalized -- ending their 19 year marriage.

50 Cent Cops Called for Alleged 'Buck 50' Slashing Threat
Sources close to 50 tell TMZ, "50 doesn't personally know him however he heard that he was assaulted, as a result of the vlad and Jimmy Henchmen interview that mentioned 50. Mafi personally commented on 50's post, and when 50 saw he was in fact not injured he then deleted the post."
50 Cent made a thinly veiled threat to cut a guy so badly he'd need 150 stitches -- so claims the guy who says all he did was try to interview one of Fiddy's baby mamas.
Courtney "Mafi" Johnson says he booked Shaniqua Tompkins for an interview, and the next day 50 Cent posted a photo of Mafi on his Instagram with the menacing caption: "I have nothing to do with him getting a buck 50 in his face ... now the poor guy has to staple his face together."
Mafi says Fiddy deleted the post after 45 minutes, but the damage was done -- he called police out of concern for his safety and filed an incident report. Cops in Wisconsin, where Mafi lives, say they've looked into it and closed the case.
Mafi says he's meeting with a lawyer to consider his options.
