Money

The youngest child on the new Disney sitcom "Girl Meets World" makes WAY more money than you ... $8,000 a week to be exact ... and he's only 6 years old.

According to the minor contract for August Maturo -- who plays the youngest son of Cory and Topanga on the show -- the child actor is set to earn $8,000 per episode (one a week) for the first season of the show.

If the show is approved for additional seasons, he's set to earn even more -- up to $9,261 per episode by Season 4. Pretty sweet.

It obviously pays to be one of the main characters ... we got the minor contract for another kid on the show (who plays the daughter's love interest) and he's only set to make about $4,800 an episode.

DMX says American cops are a bunch of d**k-sucking losers who go after him because he's famous.

X -- who's been busted more times than a cheap watch -- unloaded from the relative safety of Bulgaria, where he was scheduled to perform last weekend.

The rapper only recently regained his right to travel outside the U.S. -- his passport had been yanked because he owed a huge amount in back child support.

But he's gotta come back to the U.S. sometime ... and the cops here ain't gonna like this one bit.

Beyonce and Jay Z celebrated Blue Ivy's 2nd birthday in spectacular fashion ... closing down an entire theme park -- for a celebration that the kid will never remember.

Blue Ivy spent the day Tuesday with lemurs, orangutans, kangaroos and penguins at Jungle Island -- a wildlife park and botanical garden in Miami.

Park officials are keeping the cost under wraps ... but it's gotta be pricey to close the entire park. Put it this way ... a VIP safari tour for just one person costs $240.

Emily Blunt is spending more on her unborn baby than the yearly income of a family of 6 living ABOVE the poverty level.

We're told Emily and hubby John Krasinski are having a little girl ... and she's coming into the world in gargantuan style.

Our shopping sources say ... on Tuesday Emily dropped $35K at Petit Tresor on pricey Robertson Blvd. in L.A.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez roughed it in the wild over the weekend ... and by roughing it we mean their accommodations weren't quite as nice as the Four Seasons.

The couple that decided love can really work the 11th time around went "camping" near the beach in Santa Cruz, CA ... in an uber-luxury RV at the upscale KOA Kampgrounds.

The kids had a chaperone of sorts ... Justin's dad, with bodyguards in tow.

The price was sure right to park the Prevost RV -- $65 a night. BTW ... the RV -- which retails for anywhere between $1.5 - $2.5 mil -- is owned by Chris Brown and it has a big master bedroom, a kitchen, living room and, of course, lots of video games.

JB and Selena spent the day jumping on the camp's trampoline and tooling around on Segways ... in other words, their feet never touched dirt.

Best part ... after they left campers found pieces of Segways.

At least they didn't go off the cliff.

"Crocodile Dundee" star Paul Hogan feels his wife should fend for herself post marriage, because he's asking a judge to nix any claim she might make for spousal support.

TMZ broke the story ... Linda filed papers to pull the plug on their 23-year marriage. We're told the split has been amicable ... but how long's that gonna last if she doesn't get her monthly?

Paul is worth an estimated $20 mil, and unless there's a prenup she'll definitely get a chunk of that. But according to legal docs obtained by TMZ -- Paul wants a clean financial break once the divorce is final.

Ludacris is in no hurry to meet his new baby daughter ... it's been nearly a month since the girl was born, and his baby mama says the rapper still hasn't dropped by to take a look.

Tamika Fuller just posted a long message on Instagram, writing, "She has yet to meet her father and it's unfortunate because I would never keep him from seeing her."

She also addresses the back and forth in court regarding Ludacris' ability to pay child support, insisting she's not looking for a handout. "It saddens me that it has come to this. I did not file on him. Nor would I ever try to attempt to extort my child's father."

She adds, "In spite of all that has already happened I just ask that the negativity stop towards him and I. We have a child to co-parent ... Her best interests come before any of all of this foolishness."

As we reported, Ludacris -- a multi-millionaire -- has filed legal docs saying he can only afford to pay $1,744 per month in child support.

Jane Lynch has settled her divorce case ... TMZ has learned ... and we're told it was really civilized.

TMZ broke the story ... Jane's wife, psychologist Dr. Lara Embry -- repped by attorney Susan Wiesner -- wanted a pound of flesh -- as in $93K a month in spousal support.

Jane and Lara were married in 2010, but it was not to last ... Jane -- who's repped by disso-queen Laura Wasser -- filed for divorce in July, citing "irreconcilable differences."

Sources close to the former couple tell TMZ ... Lara didn't get close to the $93K she wanted, but did get something. We're told Jane got the house ... which is only fair since she paid for it.

Now that the case is settled ... we're told Jane and Lara are on "very civilized" terms ... even spending time with each other over the holidays.

If divorce can have a happy ending ... this is it.

Tyga just bought a sweet ride as a birthday present to himself ... it's got four doors and four wheels -- hey, just like a Toyota Camry -- but Tyga's whip cost around $2.2 million.

Sources close to Tyga tell us he dropped 2 large bills plus on a 2014 convertible Maybach 62 S Landaulet -- the car itself cost $1.3 mil. Now get this ... he spent nearly a mil tricking it out.

West Coast Customs hooked it up with all kinds of extras, including a 40 inch TV. Check out the pics.

Here's the thing ... for $2.2 mil where the hell are the cup holders?

Ty joins an elite group of 62 S owners -- including Jay Z and Bird Man. We're told he plans to showcase the car in a new video he's shooting with Mally Mall, "Wake Up In It."

Ludacris says the baby mama who is waging war with him gave him a crass ultimatum -- give me a car, or I'm goin' public.

Ludacris filed legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- in which he reveals the drama behind his child support fight with Tamika Fuller. He asked the judge back in September to issue a gag order because he is "a major celebrity of great notoriety."

Luda argued ... throughout the U.S. -- and even in Georgia -- judges often allow public figures to keep their sexual indiscretions under wraps.

Luda claimed the gag was essential because Tamika demanded that he give her a whip and $7,500 for her lawyer's retainer ... OR ELSE she'd put him on blast -- that he fathered her kid while he was still with longtime GF Eudoxie Agnan.

The judge wasn't buyin' what Luda was sellin', and rejected the request. We don't know if Tamika got her car.

Lil' Kim is 2-faced, according to an artist who claims Kim has jacked the punim she made famous ... and she's going after the rapper in a big way.

Canadian artist Samantha Ravndahl lashed out at Kim on social media websites in November for lifting her scary image off Reddit, then using it on the Lil' Kim website and Instagram accounts to promote her music.

Ultimately, it looks like Kim blew off Samantha, so now the artist has lawyered up and fired off a letter to the rapper demanding Kim pull the image ... or else.

The "or else" is suing Kim for $150K minimum.

And the lawyer's letter points out a Lil' irony. Kim once went on Hot 97 radio and complained Nicki Minaj stole her swag, adding, "If you are going to steal my swag, you gonna have to pay."

Puddle of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin is starting 2014 in debt ... because he allegedly didn't pay a hefty credit card bill and now he's being sued.

According to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Scantlin ran up $5,214 in AmEx charges within the last 4 years and has yet to pay up ... so now, the company's going after him in court.

A lot's happened to Scantlin since 2009, so the credit card charges could be for anything ... divorce bills, random luxury items bartered for cocaine, a buzz saw, you name it. But we're just guessing here.

Ludacris would rather spend his money on Kibbles 'n Bits than his newborn daughter ... so claims the rapper's baby mama.

Tamika Fuller just filed docs in her paternity battle with Luda -- responding to the rapper's bid to put a $1700 cap on his child support obligations.

Tamika grouses ... Luda has millions of bucks -- an impressive $80 mil between 2006 and 2012 -- and spends roughly $7,000 a month on lawn care and $5,000 a month on his pets.

So Tamika's calling BS and wants Ludacris to pay ALL of her lawyer's fees so she can afford to hire an attorney who will take him to the cleaners in court.

Johnny Depp decided it's better to pay a little cash to rid himself of a woman who claims the actor's bodyguard beat the crap out of her ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ broke the story ... Depp was at an Iggy Pop concert in L.A. in 2011 when a woman sitting next to him claims she got up and danced a little too close to him ... and she says the bodyguards unloaded on her ... allegedly dragging her to the ground, causing her pants to slip down to her ankles and "exposing her buttocks to other Hollywood Palladium Theater patrons."

She claimed severe injuries and filed a police report, but cops never bought her story and law enforcement sources told us she was just plain wasted. She subsequently sued Depp and others.

Now we've learned the woman -- Robin Eckert, who claims to be a professor of medicine at U.C. Irvine -- has settled her lawsuit.

Single is the new married for Pablo Schreiber -- who plays the corrupt drug-peddling fellatio-soliciting correctional officer George Mendez on "Orange Is the New Black" -- because TMZ has learned ... his wife just pulled the plug on their marriage.

Jessica Schreiber -- a yoga instructor -- filed for legal separation shortly before Christmas -- bummer -- citing irreconcilable differences.

Pablo -- whose nickname on the show is "Pornstache" -- married Jessica in 2007. They have two kids, a 5-year-old son and a 22-month-old daughter.

Jessica isn't going easy on Pablo either -- she's demanding full physical custody of the children, and she wants Pablo to pay her spousal support. She also wants the judge to reject any bid he might make for spousal support.

Nonetheless, Jessica says she's open to giving Pablo visitation and she's willing to share legal custody. Sounds like something even Pablo's brother, Liev, can't fix.

Even though it's separation, it sounds like divorce is on the horizon. Check out his tweet a few weeks back.

Evanescence founder Amy Lee is waging war with her longtime record label ... claiming the label all but ruined the group and in the process chiseled them out of more than a million bucks ... TMZ has learned.

The singer claims Wind-Up Records hatched a plot to sabotage Evanescence by replacing its promoters with a bunch of idiots who ended up torpedoing the group with lame ideas.

Lee says to add insult to injury the label has withheld $1.5 million in royalties.
