Damon Dash says he can't afford what his baby mama is owed in monthly child support -- and he's asking a judge to significantly lower it ... claiming he's got an alarmingly low annual income.

The Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder just filed new legal docs in his custody case with Rachel Roy -- with whom he shares a daughter -- and he's yet again asking the court to lower his payments to her by quite a bit ... according to Dame, all he can afford is $428/month.

The reason he says he can cough up just that ... per the docs, Dame says he isn't making much cheddar lately -- this as a result of some struggling business ventures, many of which he says simply haven't panned out.

Then, he mentions a somewhat startling figure when discussing his total income for the whole year of 2022 -- according to DD, he says he only hauled in about $5,000. Specifically, he says he made $5,140 ... nothing more. Dame says his cash flow has reduced significantly since 2020, insisting he never really recovered from the pandemic when there was no work for him.

Mind you, Dame is currently paying around $3,000/month to Rachel to help out with their kid.

Now, Rachel has already filed a response to this ... and she's calling BS on Dame's claim of abject poverty. In her own paperwork, obtained by TMZ, she claims Dame continues to own a major stake in Roc-A-Fella that should be lining his pockets ... and she alleges he has other lines of revenue that he's simply not disclosing to the court.

El cineasta y periodista Jeremy Corbell dice que han quedado atrás los días en que se estigmatizaba a la gente que informaba sobre los fenómenos inexplicables en el cielo, y eso ha abierto la puerta a una investigación en profundidad sobre la verdad detrás de los ovnis.

Jeremy se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live" el martes para hablar de nuestro evento de 3 partes, "TMZ Presenta: UFO Revolution", que ya se puede ver en Tubi. De entrada, explicó por qué la palabra "revolución" es tan apropiada.

Él dice que los tiempos ciertamente han cambiado y que la gente está tomando la discusión sobre los OVNIS (o UAP) más en serio y que esas conversaciones están provocando un cambio y un movimiento para conocer la verdad.

Jeremy espera que más personas den a conocer sus hallazgos este año y nos dice por qué ahora es más importante que nunca.

La segunda parte sale el miércoles y cuenta con la entrevista de Jeremy con el denunciante David Grusch. En ella habla de las consecuencias de haber testificado ante el Congreso el año pasado y sobre lo que vio durante su tiempo como oficial de la Fuerza Aérea y exoficial de inteligencia.

Filmmaker and journalist Jeremy Corbell says gone are the days of a stigma on people reporting unexplained phenomenon in the sky -- and that's opened the door for an in-depth investigation into their search for truth about UFOs.

Jeremy joined us on "TMZ Live" Tuesday to talk about our 3-part event, "TMZ Presents: UFO Revolution," which is streaming now on Tubi. Right off the bat, he explained why the word "revolution" is so fitting.

He says times certainly have changed, and folks are taking the UFO (or UAP) discussion more seriously ... which is how conversations are sparking change and movement toward the truth.

Jeremy's hoping more people will come forward about their findings this year ... and he tells us exactly why it's important now more than ever.

Part 2 drops Wednesday, and features Jeremy's sit-down with whistleblower David Grusch, talking about the aftermath of testifying in front of Congress last year, and about what he saw during his time as an Air Force officer and former intelligence official.

The man cops say is responsible for Tupac Shakur's death can walk out of jail today as he waits for his criminal trial to get going -- but only if he can come up with a helluva lot of cash.

Duane Davis -- AKA, Keffe D-- was in court out in Vegas Tuesday for a hearing on his potential release on bail pending his criminal trial ... where his legal team was arguing before a judge that their client wasn't a danger to society, nor was he a flight risk if they'd agree to cut him loose from lockup until the trial.

Mind you, Keefe's been in the Clark County jail since late September -- when he was first indicted for the murder of Tupac and taken into custody by cops ... the first big break in the cold case for a long, long time.

Remember ... Keefe's been out there publicly claiming to have been in the car that night way back in 1996, when Tupac was shot and killed while riding passenger with Suge Knight.

Keefe has suggested he wasn't the trigger man himself, but he's also the only one left alive to prosecute over the long-unsolved crime -- and Vegas officials finally brought him in.

Keefe's legal team pointed out that the proof was in the pudding in terms of Keefe not being a risk -- openly asking the court, if he was so dangerous, why did it take so long for cops to haul him in, even though his affiliation with the Tupac murder was well-known for a while.

They also doubled down on his not guilty plea -- saying he only said all that stuff about Pac's murder for entertainment/monetary gain ... but prosecutors pushed back, arguing this guy was a cold-blooded killer and absolutely should not be out on the streets.

In the end, the judge agreed to let him out pending trial ... but set his bail pretty high at $750,000. He also said even if Keefe could cough up the dough, he'll be confined to house arrest with electronic monitoring while he waits for his trial.

Cubrir la llegada de Donald Trump a un tribunal federal no es el momento ni el lugar adecuado para hablar de asesinatos ni mucho menos para hacer bromas al respecto, pero eso es justamente lo que hicieron dos periodistas.

Los periodistas no identificados estaban fuera del Tribunal Federal E. Barrett Prettyman la mañana del martes en Washington DC, a la espera de que el ex presidente se detuviera. Fue entonces cuando comenzaron a evaluar su posición y si tendrían una buena vista de Trump.

Al parecer, se olvidaron de dónde estaban y lo que hacen para ganarse la vida, porque con los micrófonos abiertos empezaron a bromear acerca de Trump, posiblemente apareciendo en un convertible, tal como lo hizo el Presidente John F. Kennedy en su malograda caravana en Dallas el 22 de noviembre de 1963

Un tipo le dice al otro: "¿Sabes lo que debieron haberle dicho a JFK, ¡deberías ir en un descapotable! Jajaja".

El video muestra a agentes de policía a pocos metros de los misteriosos periodistas, pero no está claro si los policías oyeron los comentarios. Es muy posible que el Servicio Secreto se interese por el video.

Trump está en el Tribunal de Circuito de Apelaciones de EE.UU. argumentando que debería tener inmunidad judicial en el caso de subversión electoral del abogado especial Jack Smith.

9:23 AM PT -- Donald Trump just addressed after his court hearing this AM in DC -- and it sounds like he might've not been made aware of this troubling hot mic comments ... just take a listen.

DT said that while he was dismayed by the case and the charges in general -- continuing to insist he's getting railroaded over politics -- he did thank the media for covering this one "fairly." Of course, what the journos were joking about out there seem to indicate a slant.

That's putting it lightly ...

Covering Donald Trump's arrival at a federal court is hardly the time or place to be talking about assassinations, much less making jokes about them ... but that's what 2 journalists did, and they got busted on hot microphones.

The 2 unnamed journalists were outside the E. Barrett Prettyman Federal Courthouse Tuesday morning in Washington, DC -- waiting for the former president to pull up -- when they started assessing their position and whether they'd have a good view of Trump.

Apparently, they forgot where they were and what they do for a living ... because with open mics all around they start joking about Trump possibly showing up in a convertible -- a la President John F. Kennedy in his ill-fated Dallas motorcade on Nov. 22, 1963.

One guy says to the other, "Maybe someone, just like they told JFK, 'Y'know what ya should do, you should take a convertible!" Hahaha.

The video shows police officers standing just a few feet away from the mystery journos, but it's unclear if the cops heard the remarks. It's certainly possible the Secret Service will take an interest in the video.

Trump showed up at the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals -- in a motorcade of SUVs, for what it's worth -- to argue he should have immunity from prosecution in special counsel Jack Smith's election subversion case.

While the journalists were clearly joking -- it's the kinda thing reporters do while passing time at major events -- this kinda humor never sits well with those protecting Presidents ... past, present or future.

Jimmy Kimmel won't let go of his feud with Aaron Rodgers, blasting the NFL player during his late-night show for trying to tie him to notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein .... explaining the impact it had on him and his family.

In his opening monologue Monday night, the host of "Jimmel Kimmel Live" came out swinging against Aaron, who claimed on the "Pat McAfee Show" that "I was nervous" that the "Epstein list" was coming out and "I was hoping it wouldn't."

Jimmy said Aaron was going to "pop a bottle of something" because the comedian's name would be on the list, but, as it turned out, it wasn't anywhere near it.

Last week, court documents related to Epstein's underage sex ring were unsealed, revealing some prominent names -- although not Jimmy's -- connected to the now deceased former business tycoon.

Jimmy made it abundantly clear he had never met Epstein – and Aaron had defamed him, daring the Super Bowl champ to share any evidence in court.

Jimmy noted that Aaron's many fans believed the lies, putting the funnyman and his family in the crosshairs of "delusional" people who became spiteful.

He also speculated on why Rodgers made the false claim, coming up with several scenarios, before hitting on the most likely one ... Aaron is still mad at Jimmy for roasting him over his appearance and "wacko" beliefs.

As you probably recall ... Jimmy poked fun at Aaron's hair knot on top of his head and his anti-vaccination "lies" re: coronavirus.

Jimmy's monologue went on and on before he asked for an apology, and he promised to accept ... although JK is not holding his breath.

Surprise, Milli Vanilli's Fab Morvan is married! Double surprise, he's headed for divorce -- according to online court records obtained by TMZ, Kim Marlowe's filed paperwork to end their marriage.

There's limited information at this point -- but what we know is Kim, who was an executive producer on his 2023 documentary film "Milli Vanilli" -- filed the divorce docs in L.A. County Superior Court.

Kim is also listed as Fab's manager on IMDB, a 1997 L.A. Times article refers to her as his best friend.

Here's another plot twist -- less than 3 months ago, Fab told People magazine said he's been living in Amsterdam with his partner Tessa van der Steen and their 4 kids -- ranging from ages 2 to 10.

That news wasn't all that shocking, at the time, because no one knew he'd been married.

So, it's possible Fab and Kim separated ages ago, and she's just now getting around to filing divorce paperwork.

Nonetheless, Fab may still be on decent terms with Kim ... they posed together last June in NYC during the Tribeca Film Festival -- where he also posed for pics with Tessa.

Busy guy!

Una mujer que estuvo en el lugar del incendio en la casa de Tyreek Hill la semana pasada parecía querer apagar las llamas por sí misma… pero fue advertida por las autoridades que sería una mala idea.

La conversación se puede escuchar en el recién publicado audio del 911, obtenido por TMZ Sports … Cuando una mujer no identificada le dijo al remitente que se había desatado un incendio en la mansión en Florida del astro de la NFL.

En la llamada, se escucha a la mujer explicando que había un incendio en la casa… antes de preguntar, “¿Debería echar agua allí?”

Sin embargo, el oficial comentó: “No. Necesito que saque a todos afuera. Necesito que lleguen a un lugar seguro.”

Quien llamó finalmente salió de la casa… antes de preguntar nuevamente si debería intentar apagar el fuego por sí misma.

“No intente apagar el fuego”, se escucha al remitente diciéndole, “y no saque nada que esté ardiendo, ¿de acuerdo?”.

Durante la llamada, la mujer hizo referencia al tamaño del infierno… diciendo en un momento, “se está volviendo más grande y más grande”.

Afortunadamente, señaló que “nadie está herido” y “todo está bien”.

Los bomberos llegaron eventualmente al lugar y apagaron las llamas aproximadamente una hora después. Hill no estaba presente en el momento en que comenzó el incendio, aunque dejó temprano la práctica de los Miami Dolphins para hacerse cargo del problema.

En cuanto a la causa del incendio, las autoridades dijeron la semana pasada que un niño que jugaba con un encendedor lo causó accidentalmente.

7:47 PM PT -- Not shockingly, Farrah Abraham has a much different memory of what happened at the restaurant/club, and, in fact, she's filed her own lawsuit over the 2022 incident.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Farrah's suing because a security guard named George Velazquez allegedly "flung her down to the ground like a ragdoll." We can't confirm Velazquez is the guy seen pinning her down in the video from that night ... but, in the suit, she does say it was captured on camera.

She also claims he held her down with his knee and repeatedly said, "You are going to jail" -- a description that matches up with the video.

Farrah is suing Velazquez and the venue, Grandmaster Recorders, for assault, battery and emotional distress.

Farrah Abraham is being taken to court by a security guard who claims she slapped her back in 2022.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Farrah is being sued by a female security guard -- claiming she suffered lost wages and incurred a bunch of medical expenses for what she says went down 2 years ago.

She says she was working at Grandmaster Recorders when she was advised by other security officers of a fight on the roof, and was working on escorting Farrah off the property "due to her assaultive behavior with other customers."

The docs say it was during the escort that things turned physical -- with Farrah allegedly striking the security guard on the side of the face, which she says left her with an eye injury, other facial injuries, and psychological trauma.

As we reported, Farrah was accused of acting belligerently at the venue and was asked to leave, but refused. We were told paramedics on the scene called cops for backup, and a citizen's arrest for battery was ultimately made.

Our sources say Farrah was quickly released after being taken into custody ... and the security guard is now seeking unspecified damages over it all.

We reached out to Farrah for comment ... so far, no word back.

Young Thug made an unexpected fashion statement in court on Monday ... rocking a white dress shirt with some hot and heavy language emblazoned on the front. Take a guess ...

The rapper -- who's in the middle of a criminal trial right now -- randomly told his followers to call him by the s-word years ago and the shirt's full message read, "SEX Records: Truly Humble Under God." Indeed, he was wearing this right there in front of the judge and jury.

His lawyer Brian Steele argued back in November that his rap name was an acronym for "Truly Humble Under God" ... and the "Young" was an ode to Tupac Shakur.

A calm and collected YT's bold wardrobe choice didn't seem to alarm his legal counsel ... the retired police sergeant reporting on the trial had a difference in opinion, though.

Trevor Bauer is making drastic changes to his intimacy preferences after years of fighting serious assault allegations made by a former fling ... revealing he's swearing off "rough sex acts" for good.

The former L.A. Dodgers pitcher spoke on his new sex life with OutKick's Tomi Lahren ... just months after settling a lawsuit with a woman who had accused him of sexually assaulting her on two occasions in 2021.

Other women came forward alleging sexual assault against the pitcher in 2022 and 2023.

Bauer never admitted wrongdoing and claimed it was just kinky sex ... something he has now apparently outlawed.

"I've stopped having, like, casual sexual relationships," the 32-year-old told Lahren. "Stopped agreeing to engage in rough sex acts."

"I'm looking for more people that add value to my life instead of something that I'm doing for a couple of hours on a night and then kind of forget about," he added.

For now, however, the former Cy Young Award winner says dating isn't remotely near his center of attention.

"I have other things that I'm focused on," he said. "I'd like to go back to work. I have a job, I run a business."

"Maybe I go back to dating at some point in the future but not something I'm focused on right now."

The one-time All-Star has not played in the MLB since the allegations surfaced in '21. He did, though, just pitch one season for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars, where he logged a 2.76 ERA with 130 strikeouts in 19 games.

Ryan Garcia says his marriage to Drea Celina was beyond repair -- the boxing star filed for divorce due to "irreconcilable differences" ... this according to court docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

As we previously reported, the 25-year-old pugilist announced his split from his wife of nearly 3 years via his Instagram account Friday night ... just minutes after revealing they welcomed their second child together.

In the docs filed last week, Garcia says he and Celina -- who got married on Jan. 14, 2021 -- were officially separated on Christmas Day 2023.

The 24-1 fighter says he is willing to financially support their two children -- 3-year-old Bela and Henry, who was born last month -- based on the minor children's "reasonable needs."

As for Drea, the docs state Garcia is open to paying spousal support to her for the next 17 1/2 months -- half the time they were married.

In the divorce announcement, Garcia said co-parenting is the former couple's "top priority" ... and he will continue to focus on Bela and Henry's health and well-being.

"I believe our mutual devotion to our children is rock solid, and I trust that together, we will continue to provide them with the love, support and stability they deserve," he said in the statement.

El abogado de Ghislaine Maxwell está sonando las alarmas sobre la mujer que afirma haber tenido relaciones sexuales con el Príncipe Andrew, alegando que cambió su historia y algo no hace sentido.

Según nuevos documentos, obtenidos por TMZ, el abogado Philip Barden menciona que las afirmaciones pasadas de la acusadora Virginia Giuffre sobre el Príncipe Andrew demuestran que mintió.

Barden afirma que la prueba es el cambio en la historia sobre el presunto encuentro con el príncipe Andrew, diciendo que Giuffre afirmó en 2014 que no tuvo relaciones sexuales con el duque de York, pero luego afirmó que sí tuvo relaciones con él “en lo que solo se puede describir como una bañera muy pequeña, demasiado pequeña para que un hombre del tamaño del príncipe Andrew disfrute de un baño, y mucho menos tener sexo”.

Desde la perspectiva de Barden, Giuffre no puede tenerlo de ambas maneras, diciendo: “Estaba mintiendo, ya sea cuando dijo que no tuvieron sexo o cuando dijo que sí lo tuvieron”.

Giuffre afirmó que la presunta agresión sexual comenzó en la bañera de Maxwell y eventualmente se trasladó al dormitorio cuando ella tenía 17 años. El príncipe Andrew llegó a un acuerdo extrajudicial con Giuffre en 2022, pero ha negado sus acusaciones.

Recientemente, se ha revelado una gran cantidad de documentos sobre Epstein, y muchos nombres importantes como Stephen Hawking, Bill Clinton y muchos más han aparecido en los materiales publicados.

El hombre que audazmente atacó a una jueza de Las Vegas regresó a la corte para finalmente recibir su condena… y fue dictada por la misma jueza a la que derribó la semana pasada.

Deobra Redden se enfrentó a la jueza Mary Kay Holthus en el Tribunal del Distrito del Condado de Clark el lunes, llevando una mascarilla y cubiertas en sus manos, así como guardias a ambos lados de él. Probablemente por una buena razón, considerando lo que sucedió la última vez.

Es seguro decir que se aseguran de que no se repitiera el ataque, ya que Redden sorprendentemente se lanzó sobre el estrado elevado para atacar a la jueza Holthus la semana pasada mientras se preparaba para sentenciarlo por su condena por intento de agresión.

Ahora, sobre cómo fue la comparecencia del lunes, afortunadamente fue mucho más tranquila.

La jueza Holthus mantuvo la calma durante la sentencia y no mencionó en absoluto el incidente anterior… pero sí le impuso una condena de 19 a 48 meses tras las rejas, que aparentemente es lo que los fiscales estaban solicitando. En otras palabras, sin verdadera clemencia.

Realmente no se le puede culpar por castigarlo severamente con todo lo que ha sucedido.

Recuerda que Redden fue puesto inmediatamente en aislamiento después de atacar a la jueza Holthus, clasificado como un recluso “2C”, que es la clasificación más restrictiva para los reclusos en la Cárcel del Condado de Clark. El video de él saltando sobre el estrado y más allá para alcanzarla fue impactante.

Además de todo esto, Redden ahora enfrenta 13 cargos relacionados con el ataque a la juez y el martes regresará a la corte.

A woman who was at the scene of the fire at Tyreek Hill's home last week appeared to want try to extinguish the flames herself ... but she was warned by law enforcement that that would be a bad idea.

The conversation can be heard in newly released 911 audio, obtained by TMZ Sports ... when an unidentified woman told a dispatcher that a blaze had broken out at the NFL star's Florida mansion.

In the call, you can hear the woman explaining that there was a fire in the home ... before she asked, "Should I throw water in there?"

The official, however, told her, "No. I need for you to get everyone outside. I need for you guys to get to safety."

The caller eventually did make her way out of the home ... before she seemed to ask again if she should try to put out the blaze on her own.

"Do not try to put the fire out," the dispatcher can be heard telling her, "and do not carry out anything that's on fire, OK?"

Several times throughout the call, the woman referenced the size of the inferno ... saying at one point, "It's getting bigger and bigger."

Thankfully, she did note that "no one's injured" and "everything is fine."

Firefighters eventually arrived on the scene and put out the flames roughly an hour or so after the call was placed. Hill was not present at the time that it started, though he left Miami Dolphins practice early to get a handle on the issue.

As for the cause of the blaze, officials said last week a child who was playing with a lighter accidentally caused it all.
