T.I. is on a redemption mission after his jokey comments about women, and that's why he lined the imaginary pockets of some very appreciative strippers.

Tip blew off steam from his bad week Saturday night at V Live Dallas, where the turn up was real since one of the dancer's was already celebrating her birthday.

Tip wasn't feeling frugal. Our club source tells us he threw $30k into the air. The video is pretty insane to watch ... it looks like people are breathing in the bills.

Richard Sherman is all about sharing the wealth -- just ask his parents ... who tell TMZ Sports the Seattle Seahawks superstar has draped them in riches ... including a $2 MILLION HOME!!!

We ran into Beverly and Kevin Sherman on their way to Seattle Sunday -- when we noticed the MASSIVE ring on Kev's finger.

The couple proceed to tell us that Richard not only lets him wear his Super Bowl ring -- he bought them a sick mansion and pays to fly them out to every home game!

Check out this clip -- Richard might be the greatest son of all time.

David Copperfield may have his next assistant for the "sawing in half" trick -- because the magician claims his accountant screwed up his taxes, costing him $471,000.

Copperfield is suing Robert Baral ... claiming the guy didn't file the magician's Canadian tax returns for 2008 and 2009, and also didn't let him know the previous accountant failed to file a 2007 return.

Copperfield also claims the accountant hired a Canadian firm to deal with the tax snafu and failed to monitor them to ensure things were handled properly.

Lil Wayne's legal team just added insult to his $2 million injury ... they say he owes them $80k for a legal case he lost!

Wayne's attorneys at Garbett, Allen & Roza just hit him with a lawsuit for unpaid fees. According to the docs, Weezy hired the firm to help him fight Signature Jets, which had sued him for, guess what -- unpaid bills.

As we reported ... Wayne lost that case, and has to fork over $2 mil to Signature. Now his lawyers want compensation for their legal representation ... despite the loss.

If Mariah Carey's New Year's resolution is to make more money in 2016, she's gonna be starting the new year off right.

We're told Carey just signed a multi-million dollar deal for a one-off NYE performance at Copacabana in Brazil.

Our sources wouldn't divulge the exact number Mariah's getting, but we're told it's between $2 and $5 million FOR ONE NIGHT OF WORK!!!

It's an obscene amount ... until you consider the millions she got for her Las Vegas residency.

Wonder how much she's getting for the Hallmark feature film she's directing ... our guess is Hallmark's got deep pockets.

Kevin Federline is NO joke in Japan -- in fact, the man who built a kingdom down the street from Pepperdine is about to get his biggest DJing paycheck ever ... in Tokyo.

Britney's ex booked a two night gig at Cat's -- the nightclub, not the play -- where he'll man the DJ booth for their annual Halloween bash on Oct. 23rd and 24th.

K-Fed's first trip to Tokyo will be well worth it -- the weekend gig pays $15k ... or about ¥1.7 MILLION! Last time we checked, K-Fed was only bringing home $1,000 per gig, so this is a huge step up.

If Tokyo reacts anything like Portland did last weekend, he'll have 'em chanting ... "K-Fed ichiban!"

Chris Brown's baby mama's boyfriend just can't seem to stay out of trouble ... he's wanted by cops, the second time in just over a month.

King Ba was supposed to appear in front of a Texas judge Thursday on forgery charges but he was a no-show. The judge fired off a warrant for his arrest.

TMZ broke the story ... Ba was busted last month after cops claimed he forged more than $5,000 in U.S. Treasury checks. Police put out a warrant for Ba and he turned himself in after seeing his face on a local Crime Stoppers alert.

Looks like CB might have a leg up on baby mama Nia if she comes back at him in their custody battle.

Khloe Kardashian is at Lamar Odom's bedside because she cares about him, and we've learned Lamar has not let divorce get in the way of his feelings, because she stands to inherit a big chunk of his fortune.

As we reported, Khloe and Lamar had a prenup, separating her money from his. Multiple sources familiar with the situation tell us Lamar does not have a will. Under the laws of California, if he were to die, Khloe would be entitled to 1/3 of Lamar's personal fortune. His kids would get the remaining 2/3.

There's no fighting it ... the law is the law. We're told Khloe doesn't care about his money or want it, but the fact is, she's still his wife and she gets 1/3.

Our sources also say Lamar has several life insurance trusts, making both Khloe and his kids beneficiaries.

By the way, some prenups provide that each spouse is disinherited from the other, but we're told that isn't the case with Khloe and Lamar.

TMZ Sports has the first pics of Floyd Mayweather's replacement for his fire ravaged custom Jeep ... and we gotta say ... the dude sure knows how to bounce back.

As we previously reported ... Floyd lost 4 whips due to a freak blaze in Arizona earlier this month, one of them being his prized 2015 Jeep Wrangler which he'd spent over $100k to customize.

News of the fire traveled down to the Auto Firm in Miami -- who tricked out the first Jeep -- and owner Alex Vega immediately promised Floyd a bigger, better ride to cruise in.

From the look of the pictures we got ... they delivered.

The new Avorza Jeep features custom alligator seats -- plus a touch screen navigation and entertainment system. Total cost for the upgrades, $120k ... $20k more than version 1.0.

One thing this Jeep doesn't have that the old one did? Doors ... Floyd decided he didn't want any this time.

Maybe a good idea ... you know ... in case you know, fire.

Ben Stein threw shade on Hillary Clinton Friday night, saying she's had a reputation for years as a cheapskate.

Ben, who ate some grub at Craig's in WeHo, talked to us about our story that Bernie Sanders tipped 15% at a Burbank-area restaurant.

Ben says the preferred Presidential tip is way higher, and says there's one President who was generous beyond measure in the tipping dept.

Connor Kalopsis is learning at a young age ... it's not what you know, it's who, because the young star of "The Grinder" is riding Rob Lowe's gorgeously tailored coattails all the way to the bank.

Connor inked a contract which guarantees him $22,500 an episode on FOX's comedy about a TV star on a legal drama who tries becoming a real lawyer. Connor's guaranteed 6 shows, which totals $135,000.

If the show's a hit ... he'll get 4% bumps each year ... plus an extra guaranteed episode. And that's all before residuals.

He don't need no stinkin' allowance.

Here's boxing champ Adrien Broner taking a break from spending money on cars and jewelry to donate it to a group that really needs it ... strippers.

Adrien -- who just won the WBA light welterweight title on October 3rd -- is obviously still in celebration mode 'cause he and his manager invaded Stadium strip club in D.C. and spent over $40k!!!

If the name Stadium rings a bell it's probably because it's the same place where Drake famously spilled a bunch of cash while darting into an altercation involving one of his boys last year.

We're told Broner dropped his cash squarely on the ladies ... so much so that at one point he ran out of dollar bills and began to make it rain HUNDRED DOLLAR BILLS.

Bernie Sanders connects with the middle class ... but he only shows them average appreciation when he sits down to eat.

Bernie was in the Burbank area Wednesday at Priscilla's Gourmet Coffee. He brought along a few of his people to munch on 2 dessert bars, 1 cookie, 1 chai tea, 1 OJ and a coconut water for Bernie.

Bernie and crew ate up and he picked up the tab, which came to $16.25.

Now the tip. Bernie left a grand total of $2.44, or 15%, the minimum recommended by restaurant folk.

Music mogul Jimmy Iovine and ex-wife Vicki got hit up for $50 grand from their son ... or at least an obsessed fan who seems to think he's their son.

According to docs, Devante Nevels flooded Vicki's email, cell phone and social media with annoying messages. One in particular ... "Mom can you call me Im going to jail tomorrow for 15 days, Hopefully I get out Idk."

Nevels also attempted to dip into the Iovine family fortune by asking for $50,000 ... but at least it was a loan. We're sure Nevels -- whose Facebook alias is Jameslong Changelong -- is totally good for it.

Vicki reported Nevels to the LAPD ... which eventually got a search warrant for Nevels' Twitter and Facebook accounts.

Law enforcement sources tell us Nevels was not arrested though, because the messages didn't meet the criminal criteria for harassment. Translation: At this point, he's annoying as hell, but not dangerous.

Lamar Odom spent a fortune -- $75,000 -- at Love Ranch South in just over 3 days.

Sources at the Ranch tell us, Ranch employees picked Lamar up and chauffeured him from his Vegas home to the ranch, 70 miles away.

When Odom got there he faced a lineup ... consisting of the working girls from which he had the pick of the litter.

He chose 2 girls who were at his beck and call the entire stay.

Lamar had the VIP suite and with room, board and girls ... the total was $75k.

Former 'Bachelorette' contestant Ed Swiderski says he got screwed out of his apartment security deposit because his landlord is blaming him for $12,000 worth of damage!

Ed and his wife Natalie moved out of the pad in Chicago's West Loop this past July, and he says they left it exactly the same way they found it -- minus reasonable wear and tear -- but never got back the $3,700 security deposit.

According to the lawsuit, Ed's landlord, Robert O'Bryan, tagged him for the following:

-$100 for missing chandelier crystals

-$60 for missing parking remotes

-$1,500 for fixing 5 doors with dog scratches on them

-$1,150 for a new carpet after he found dog feces and urine stains on the old one

-$4,950 in repainting costs ... all things the landlord says aren't "regular wear and tear."

Those are just the highlights, there's much more, but Ed says it's all BS since he cleaned the place, and a new tenant moved in the very same day he moved out.

O'Bryan tells TMZ the damage he found during inspection was "shocking," and thinks Ed is being ungrateful. He says he was willing to just take his deposit, and eat the rest of the damage ... which would have been more than $9k.

Ed and his wife are suing for $11,100 -- 3 times their deposit.
