Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone's husband James Stunt says the butler who sued him for mocking his sexual orientation is full of it ... and now he's firing back in court to prove it.

TMZ broke the story, the heiress' former butler Carl Hajik sued earlier this month when he says Stunt went off the rails during a dinner at the old Spelling mansion. Hajik says he accidentally tripped Stunt's one-year-old niece and Stunt went nuts, calling him "soft around the edges," saying he should be "wearing a dress," pushing him and spitting in his face.

Now, Stunt's filed a counter-suit -- obtained by TMZ -- calling Hajik's story a "despicable extortion claim" and claiming Hajik tried blackmailing him. As for the alleged gay-bashing ... Stunt says he was never verbally or physically abusive to Hajik, who he claims was laughing after kicking his niece.

And get this ... Stunt says while Hajik was working as a butler, he had a second gig as a failed entertainer who went by the name of "Santangelo."

The father of Andrew Getty, the socialite son who died back in March of ulcers and meth, has filed legal docs to collect a fortune from his dead son's estate.

Gordon Getty, the son of J. Paul Getty, has filed a creditor's claim for $14.1 million. Gordon, who famously negotiated the sale of his family's oil business to Texaco for more than $10 billion, claims he bankrolled his son for years, with loans totaling more than $10.6 million.

Gordon also wants to get back some of the priceless art pieces he loaned to his son ... 55 pieces in all worth more than a million bucks.

Lil Wayne is being sued by his own lawyers who claim the rapper did to them what Birdman did to him ... screw him out of a fortune.

Pretty ironic if true ... Wayne hired a law firm to fight Cash Money and Birdman over millions in unpaid fees. The hired guns say they sent bills to Wayne for nearly a year, but got blown off.

All told, the lawyers say Wayne owes them $375k.

Justin Bieber got comped big time for a bar tab at an Atlanta club and left behind a tip that has our newsroom deeply divided.

Justin and his entourage were in the ATL last week for Jingle Ball. After the performance the party moved to Tongue & Groove nightclub, where Justin ordered up a storm in bottle service.

- 2 bottles of Don Julio 1942 ... $500 each
- 1 bottle of Grey Goose ... $300
- 1 bottle of Jack Daniels ... $275
- Some beers ... $25

The table total was around $1,600, which the club comped. The Biebs left his 2 waitresses $200 each. We're told Justin was amazing with interacting with the staff and club guests, and even entertained the packed crowd by taking photos with them.

So we gotta ask....

Martin Shkreli, the dude who jacked the price of the AIDS/cancer medicine from $13.50 to $750 a pop, could lose one of his most precious possessions -- the $2 million, one-of-a-kind Wu-Tang Clan album.

As we reported, Shkreli was indicted for securities fraud ... $65 million worth. Federal prosecutors and law enforcement sources tell us ... Shkreli's precious Wu-Tang album could be seized.

If prosecutors determine any of the $65 mil was used to purchase the album, they could immediately file a forfeiture action to seize it.

What's more, even if dirty money wasn't used to buy Wu-Tang's work, if Shkreli gets convicted and the judge orders restitution, the U.S. Marshals could seize it.

A source in the U.S. Marshals Office tells us, it's actually likely they would target the album, because it's an expensive asset that could easily be auctioned off to pay the restitution judgment.

Silento, the rapper behind "Watch Me (Whip/ Nae Nae)," could make it rain like the big fellas ... except he's only 17.

We got ahold of the contract he signed with Capitol Records, and he scored $100k just for the song. He's promised an additional $50k once the label green lights his first album.

The contract -- which was filed with the court -- shows Capitol believes Silento is more than a one hit wonder -- he signed up for 3 additional albums and could earn as much as $500k for each one.

It pays to "Nae Nae" ... literally.

Meek Mill has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars because a judge has financially handcuffed him.

Our Meek sources say the rapper had a bunch of gigs on the books before a Pennsylvania judge prohibited him from leaving the state. As we reported, Meek -- who's on probation in his gun and drug case -- is on the hot seat because he came to LA for the AMA's with GF Nicki Minaj without getting court approval.

Not only is he losing big money by not performing at concerts, he's shelling out tens of thousands of dollars every month for commitments he's made in L.A. He and Nicki are leasing a house that is now off limits to him. Ditto an L.A. recording studio he's already booked for $15k a week.

The biggest worry is a New Year's Eve performance he and Nicki booked in Vegas. Tickets have already been sold and he fears a backlash from fans.

Kylie Jenner broke the Internet -- well, one small corner of it, and most shockingly ... she did it without showing any skin.

Kylie and her mom, Kris Jenner, each slipped into a Onepiece, and on Thursday posted pics of themselves rocking the super comfy look. The posts included a discount code to purchase your own directly from the company.

Now, Kris & Kylie have a combined 90 million social media followers, which as it turns out ... is way more juice than OnePiece was ready to handle. Within 30 seconds of the Jenner posts, more than 100,000 people went to its website and crashed it ... according to our OnePiece sources.

The company's HQ is over in Norway, where it was the middle of the night -- and we're told staffers had to be roused outta bed to get the site back online.

Master P's found a silver lining to all his marriage drama -- he's going to host and produce a relationship/sex talk show on Playboy Radio.

We found out P signed on the bunny to do a show called "Doin' Tha Most" -- and he'll be dishing advice about sex, love, and possibly marriage. It's an interesting hire since Master P's been locked in a messy divorce battle for nearly 2 years.

But you gotta figure after all court dates, spousal support battles and restraining orders ... he's probably learned plenty -- about what to do or NOT do.

Nina Dobrev's Christmas shopping was a one-stop shop ... she flew her entire extended family -- more than 10 deep -- to Utah for a ski vacation, and she's picking up the tab.

TMZ has learned the 'Vampire Diaries' star is renting a ski-in/ski-out mansion at Deer Valley. The place sounds like the kinda place we usually find Mariah Carey this time of year.

Bar Refaeli is wanted for something other than her body -- Israeli authorities say she cheated on her taxes to the tune of tens of millions of shekels.

Israeli officials says the supermodel failed to report buckets of dough she earned abroad as well as non-cash payments she got for modeling. For instance, authorities say she got a Range Rover and a Lexus as part of modeling deals with the companies.

She's also accused of not paying taxes on her luxury apartment in Tel Aviv.

Rafaeli's mother is also suspected of tax evasion. Cops want both women detained, and bail's been set at 500,000 shekels each.

Imagine the mug shot.

J.R. Smith totally out-Santa'd St. Nick in the gift giving dept ... at least according to his mom who says the Cavs forward spoils her every Xmas with expensive bags, fancy cars ... and even a freakin' HOUSE.

We ran into Ida Smith -- who was in NYC working with the J.R. Smith Family Assist Foundation -- and being that it's the yuletide season we had to ask ... what's the best gift her super rich son left under the tree?

When we say super rich we mean it ... J.R.'s made over $40 million during his NBA career so he's definitely got the paper to make the holidays special.

Check out the clip ... Ida says Smith never disappoints, with her past holiday haul including a Louie bag, a brand new BMW, and on one faithful Christmas eve 10 years ago ... A BRAND NEW HOUSE.

Drake is expanding his horizons beyond hit singles and internet memes ... now trying his hand at tech startups.

The rapper is sinking some of his fortune into an app that organizes people's lives ... from the shoes they wear to the shirts on their backs.

We've learned Drake met the founder of the app, Thomas McLeod through a mutual biz partner and both are sneaker heads. When Thomas told Drake he was launching Omni, Drake jumped to join.

Thomas tells us Drake's way more than an investor. He's looking forward to Drake being involved in the creative, and helping it evolve in the future.

BTW, Omni organizes and stores the user's personal items. For example, if Drake has 200 pairs of sneakers, he'd send them to an Omni facility nearby where they'd be professionally photographed, stored and logged. When Drake wanted a particular pair, he'd see organized pics, select them, and the pair he wanted would be delivered to his doorstep by an Omni concierge.

First, he dropped $2 million for that Wu-Tang record, and now Martin Shkreli wants to be Bobby Shmurda's hero ... the guy who finally bails him out of jail.

The controversial pharmaceutical honcho now says he wants to spend another $2 mil to get Shmurda out of jail, simply because they're both Brooklyn kids -- but also because he sees a chance to make a ton of cash.

Shkreli told HipHopDX he's in talks to put up the money. Shmurda's been held for a year, awaiting trial for weapons charges and conspiracy to commit murder.

Shkreli's offer is totally strings attached though -- "I’m not going to do this for free. [Laughs] He’s going to have to do something for me. I don’t know what that’s going to look like yet. He’s going to owe me one, obviously."

As we reported ... a judge recently shot down his family's latest attempt to bail out Shmurda.

Yolanda Foster is the one who decided to end her marriage to David Foster ... and our sources say he's still paying a fortune in medical bills and support.

Sources close to Foster tell TMZ, Yolanda signed a prenup when the couple married in 2011, but he's giving her significantly more than he's required to do under the document. We're told their $27 million Malibu home is his property, but when they sold it he gave her a "big chunk."

We're told Yolanda just bought a new $5 million home in the fancy Wilshire Corridor section of L.A. with the money she got in the sale.

As for the medical bills, contrary to reports David has cut her off, we're told he continues to pay for her Lyme Disease treatment.

Yolanda decided to end the marriage more than a year ago, but we're told he never stopped paying her support and he was by her side much of the time even after she left him.

Couldn't swing a ticket for the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" premiere? No problem! Get your hands on some prized giveaways, and pretend you went ... if you've got the cash.

One item sure to get lightsabers at full attention -- the movie poster signed by stars like Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and John Boyega. Of course, that's currently going for $1,300!
