Money

Amber Rose revisited her humble beginnings Monday night, and shared her wealth with the strippers at Ace of Diamonds.

Amber, an ex-stripper herself, if you didn't know ... put on her best mesh dress to host at the popular L.A. gentlemen's club. She kept the ladies happy, tossing fistfuls of cash all night -- pausing only for twerk breaks and ass grabs.

Best of all -- the shots of Amber giving special attention to a stripper who looked EXACTLY like her!

The chick's got a type.

LeBron James is now a resident on one of the most upscale and notorious streets in L.A. ... and he plunked down a fortune to make it happen.

TMZ has confirmed a company matching one owned by LeBron bought a colonial-style mansion on Rockingham in the Brentwood area of L.A., just blocks away from the home O.J. Simpson owned when his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend Ronald Goldman were found killed.

According to Variety and Real Estalker, which broke the story, LeBron paid around $21 mil for the 9,000 square foot home.

Russell Wilson and Ciara tempted fate to the max on their Mexican holiday, because we've learned the celibate couple stayed in a house built on sex.

One half of Mobb Deep is losing money by the stacks, and he says it's all because their record label is confusing the group deal with his solo hustle.

According to the docs ... Prodigy and Mobb Deep's other member Havoc entered into a contract with Universal Music back in 1995, when it was still BMG. Under the contract, the rap duo handed over half of all profits from future albums and songs, but Prodigy says the deal did NOT cover music he made outside the group.

Prodigy says the label's continued to skim 50% of royalties from his solo projects, and songs he wrote for other artists. In all he's lost $57,489, according to the suit.

He's suing for all the money, plus his attorney fees.

Lil Wanye is getting pummeled by court judgments ... the latest by a pyrotechnics company that wants a pound of the rapper's flesh.

It seems Wayne got a bunch of fireworks from Pyrotek Special Effects for his 2013 tour, including 200 tracer comets, 92 silver gerbs, 2 white flashes with a bang, 36 propane tanks and 30 lbs of exploding powder.

Wayne didn't pay and the company sued, but they struck a settlement. Thing is ... Wayne never paid up, so the company just went back to court and got a $96k judgment.

Wayne just had $2 million worth of art seized by cops to satisfy another judgment for jet rentals.

Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas' tour is not off to a great start 'cause fans are seriously PO'ed over a $10k VIP package that doesn't even include concert tickets.

Fans sounded off on the Ultimate VIP Dressing Room Package for the Sunrise, Florida kick off date.

Truth is ... it does buy some pretty awesome rockstar access (if you can afford it) like a private backstage dressing room with your personal tour rider, visit and photos with Demi and Nick, and signed concert swag.

The package says there's access to a side stage platform during Demi and Nick's set, so if you're ok paying $10k to watch the show with crappy sound and obstructed view, you won't need to buckle down for actual tickets.

Not that those will set you back much ... tickets are already on Groupon for $30.

Snoop Dogg was pretty fired up after the Steelers game this weekend -- not just because his team won, but he also made $500 off a West Coast rapper who bet on the Raiders.

Snoop made the 2-to-1 wager with Mac Shawn 100 -- telling the guy he was SO confident Pittsburgh would stomp the Silver and Black, he agreed to pay Mac Shawn $1,000 on a $500 bet.

The game came down to the wire, but the Steelers won ... and after the game, the two rappers engaged in some super stoney smack talk.

So, what's Snopp gonna do with the victory money? Well, he is on the way to Denver ...

Todd Chrisley apparently doesn't know best when it comes to paying his attorneys ... at least according to his ex-lawyers who say Todd's been ducking them for a year on a hefty bill.

Fink & Steinberg law firm says Chrisley and his wife, Julie, hired them in 2014. According to the lawsuit, F&S worked for the Chrisleys on 2 cases ... one related to an insurance matter, and the other a home Julie was going to rent.

F&S say they sent Todd a bill in November 2014 but he's dodged them ever since ... making up excuses about being too busy with his reality show, or being in the hospital with his son.

NY Mets superstar Yoenis Cespedes decided to reward himself for getting to the World Series this year -- so he dropped $75k to pimp out a brand new 3-wheeled super car ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Cespedes has become OBSESSED with designing and customizing whips -- especially with Alex Vegas from The Auto Firm in Miami.

So, all he needed was an excuse to splurge on a new ride -- and the World Series run felt like the perfect reason.

The result? A custom Avorza Polaris -- with Avorza red and grey leather seats and a custom red #52 on the hood.

In total, Cespedes put $75k worth of work into the $20k car ... and the end result is pretty sweet.

It'll look pretty good next to that fire-breathing Lambo that's already in his garage ...

Young B -- best known for her 2006 hit "Chicken Noodle Soup" -- says a former manager is extorting her for a cut of her "Love & Hip Hop: New York" dough, and he might get her tossed from the show.

The rapper says she hadn't heard from Arthur Smith in 5 years, but he recently resurfaced and threatened to sue VH1 if he didn't get 50% of her "participation fee."

B says she signed with Smith in 2006 ... when she was only 16 and "Chicken Noodle Soup" was taking off. In her lawsuit, she says that contract is void because Smith stopped meeting his management obligations long ago, and his label went under.

In other words, as Janet Jackson said ... what have you done for me lately? Young B wants the judge to declare the contract null and void.

Now, a little 'Chicken Noodle' chaser ...

Richie Sambora and his ex-girlfriend Nikki Lund just got socked with a big judgment in small claims court, but not because they were in the wrong ... but because they didn't bother to show up.

The short story ... two former employees sued their clothing company, Nikki Rich, because they didn't get their full salary. The employees made their case but Richie and Nikki weren't there to respond, so the judge issued default judgments for just short of $10k.

Chris Brown's graduated from graffiti monsters on his walls to real deal pop-surrealism artwork, and it's got a stiff price tag ... $15k per canvas!

Brown, who goes by Konfuzed as an artist, showed off his latest piece called "Oreo" at Karen Bystedt's "Lost Warhol" project ... Wednesday night in West Hollywood.

CB teamed with Chicago street artist Dee Cosey for "Oreo," but noticed Dee's name was missing from their display ... so he fixed it with some impromptu tagging -- Sharpie style!

The $15k price isn't unreasonable for a Breezy original. A collab he did with KAI fetched $20k at an auction last year!

Bindi Irwin is caught in a tangled legal web ... her "Dancing with the Stars" contract just got rejected because a judge needs proof her dad is dead.

Lawyers for the show submitted a minor's contract to an L.A. Superior Court judge ... it's required because Bindi is 17. Her mom Terri signed a form stating she gives up all rights to any money her daughter will make on the show.

Here's the rub. For some reason the judge wants the same release from Bindi's dad, the late Steve Irwin. The judge said without proof of Steve giving up his rights to Bindi's money, "the court is unable to find that it is in the best interest of the minor to be bound by the terms of the contract."

It's unclear if the judge is unaware Steve died in 2006, or if she's just a stickler for a death certificate.

We're told lawyers for the show will do what it takes to get the judge to sign off. When she does, here's Bindi's deal:

-- a guarantee of $125k

-- by making it to weeks 3 and 4 she gets an additional $10k per week

-- week 5 gets her another $15,000

-- weeks 6 and 7 she gets $20k a week

-- weeks 8 and 9 she gets $30k a week

-- and if she makes it to 10 and 11 she gets $50,000 a week

Bindi has made it through week 8, so her total so far is $230k, and still going strong.

That's something to fart about.

Gwen Stefani is wiping her hands clean of ex-husband Gavin Rossdale by selling the family estate.

Real estate sources tell us Gavin's the one who wanted the Beverly Hills house back in 2007, but Gwen never really liked it that much. The house is modern and Gwen really likes Spanish.

We're told Gwen wants to sell the house on the down-low ... it's a pocket listing where her realtor has put the word out she's looking for a buyer.

It's an impressive pad ... 9,000 square feet, 6 bedrooms and 9 baths and the requisite large pool.

As for the price ... they bought the home for $13.25 million back in 2007 ... during the height of the housing crisis. Prices have swelled so there should be millions in profits. Sources tell TMZ, the house is community property and they will split profits.

Katy Perry left Taylor Swift and every other female singer in the dust, earning $135 MILLION this year!

Forbes dropped the bombshell, reporting Katy raked in more than $2 mil per city during her Prismatic World Tour. With 126 shows, it adds up fast.

Taylor Swift, who's had a rivalry with Katy, came in second but way behind Katy with $80 million.

Fleetwood Mac came in 3rd with nearly $59.5 mil, edging out Lady Gaga by half a mil. Beyonce trailed 5th at $54.5 mil.

9:30 A.M. PST -- Michael tells TMZ he's the one who paid for the car. In fact, he claims he's been supporting Kate for years, even before they were married.

Kate Major is keeping the war with Michael Lohan alive by getting a restraining order against him ... but before they cut ties, she wants her car back.

According to the docs obtained by TMZ, Kate wants Michael to stay 500 ft clear of both her and the Boca Raton school their older son attends.

Kate wants radio silence, but only after Michael returns her Maserati ... she wants the judge to order him to hand over the keys STAT.

Kate also wants spousal support ... $1,000 a week, or $2,000 every other week. She wants child support as well but doesn't say how much.

In her docs ... Kate describes emotional and physical abuse at Lohan's hands. As we reported, police rejected her claim that Michael slapped one of their kids.

Kate got a temporary stay away order. There will be another hearing later this month, where the judge will decide whether to extend the order.
