Kia isn't exactly rushing to the defense of their superstar pitchman Blake Griffin -- with the car company refusing to say if they'll stand by the NBA star in the wake of his fistfight in Toronto.

We reached out to Kia to ask if Blake's job is safe ... this is all we got back:

"Kia is not offering comment on this matter."

Not exactly a rousing show of support for a guy who's had a working relationship with Kia since 2011.

We're guessing Kia's just waiting to see how the NBA investigation shakes out before committing to any course of action ... can't really blame 'em.

As for Blake, he's already had the most powerful man in the NBA go to bat for him -- so, he's probably not too worried.

Floyd Mayweather's insane shopping spree continues ... this time, he's dropping $3.5 mil on a brand new Bugatti that hasn't even been released yet ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Our sources tell us.... Mayweather wants to upgrade his Bugatti collection and sold one of his older Bugattis to make space for a 2017 Bugatti Chiron.

Floyd's old car was spotted outside of a luxury hotel in Scottsdale, AZ -- along with his car guy Obi Okeke from DoctorBugatti.com -- where it was being loaded up into a shipping truck to be delivered to the buyer.

Mayweather won't get his new car until the spring -- when it's officially released -- but according to Car and Driver, it's a BEAST ... an 8.0-liter W-16 engine with 4 turbos to make 1500 hp and an estimated top speed of 288 mph.

Five dudes are making serious bank off the Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa war by turning the epic Twitter feud into fashion.

We Own Your Kids, a t-shirt company that puts Twitter beef on t-shirts, was just in its idea phase Wednesday when Kanye unleashed his Twitter commandments on Wiz.

A few hours after the feud went viral the company started printing shirts with 2 standouts -- “You Let A Stripper Trap You” and “I Own Your Child!!!!” 24 hours later, 80% of the first batch of 500 were sold.

The shirts go for $25 a pop ... do the math and that's $10k, minus costs.

No word if they're going to put Amber Rose's tweet on a tee, but if they do it'd be a sure sellout.

Minecraft creator Markus Persson is simply giving away a bunch of stuff, including Michael Jackson memorabilia that was left behind in his insane Bev Hills mansion.

Not only did the billionaire gaming mogul snatch the crib from Jay Z and Beyonce -- he outbid them in 2014 -- but the previous owner left Bentley furniture, Shepard Fairey prints and even framed and autographed MJ pics.

36-year-old Persson (yes, he's that young) is auctioning off the items and all the proceeds will go to Design by Donation which supports at-risk youth.

Don't worry about Markus -- he'll still have a candy room, home theater, car lift and his infinity pool with a view to entertain him.

50 Cent is a financial shadow of his former self ... this according to new bankruptcy docs obtained by TMZ.

The mogul claims in the legal docs his bank booty totals $7.4 million. Add to that his real property holdings of around $8.8 million and his total assets are just north of $16 million.

It's a breathtaking number, but not in a good way. 50 sold his interest in Vitaminwater for somewhere between $60 million and $100 million. Mind you ... that's just the water. At his peak, 50 was reportedly worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

50 has put it out there that he has declared "rich man's" bankruptcy ... and that he's still rolling in the dough. He's got more money than most, but compare him to The Game, who deposited more than $13 million in his charity account alone.

The Game stepped up his Flint water crisis game ... forking over $500k from his own pocket ... and charity-shamed Madonna and Jimmy Fallon while he was at it.

Game came on "TMZ Live" to talk about his big donation -- he teamed with AvitaWater, which matched his check for a whopping $1 mil total for residents of Flint. His sister and her kids live there ... so, it was personal for Game.

He also explained his shot at Fallon and Madonna -- calling their $10,000 pledges, "cute" -- saying there's a method to his madness.

As for posting a screengrab of his wire transfer, and therefore revealing he has $13 MILLION chilling in checking?!!! Game says it's hard earned cash, and it's going to serious good.

You know when a SHARK is shocked by Super Bowl commercial prices, they're pretty damn high!

Check out the clip of "Shark Tank" star Daymond John reacting when we told him a 30-second SB50 commercial is going for $4.5 million.

There's just one problem ... our photog was wrong -- they're actually $5 MILLION!!!

Not everything Jay Z touches turns to gold -- his cologne line is an absolute disaster and it's all his fault ... according to a lawsuit filed by the manufacturer.

Parlux Fragrances is suing Jay for failing to live up to his end of their deal. The company says it made a licensing agreement ... where it would use his name and image to launch Gold Jay Z in 2013.

But Parlux says Jay was supposed to do more -- like make social media posts and promotional appearances, but he declined. The co. says he refused to appear on 'GMA,' at Macy's and in Women's Wear Daily to pump up the scent.

Further, there was supposed to be a line of follow-up fragrances that Jay helped develop, but according to the suit ... he dodged meetings and the new colognes never got off the ground.

Parlux says it expected to haul in about $50 million over 2 years, but instead the whole deal is pepe le pew -- it's losing money, and stores are returning unsold inventory.

Jay's former perfume partners want damages of at least $18 million.

Louis Tomlinson is providing for his baby and baby mama, but the digs are modest and the jury is out on child support.

We've learned Briana Jungwirth and their son are living in a 3 bedroom home in Calabasas ... a far cry from the reported $10 million mansion he reportedly bought her. We're told the home is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars ... not in the millions.

We're told Briana is paying for the furniture and Louis isn't exactly opening the bank vault.

Louis is renting his own place in L.A. so he can be closer to his son. We're told it's a lot nicer than Briana's digs.

The new parents are getting along, but they have not settled on a child support figure yet. There are reports she wants $600k a year. That may well be in the universe of possibilities, but a lot depends on his income and the needs of the child ... that's the way it's done in California.

Briana is telling her friends she's not using the baby as a meal ticket ... getting help is fine, but she insists she won't get greedy.

A group of production assistants are going after behemoth Paramount, claiming they were forced to take dumps in their cars while working on some of the studio's highest-grossing blockbusters.

The class action lawsuit was filed by 4 NYC based P.A.s, who say they began working for the studio in 2010 and put in mega hours for films like 'TMNT,' 'Wolf of Wall Street,' "Noah," and "Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon," which grossed more than $1 billion.

The group -- assigned to keep location shoots clear of pedestrians and cars -- claims they regularly put in 60-100 hours a week but never got overtime pay.

It gets worse ... they say they weren't allowed to leave their posts to get food or use the restrooms. Some say it was so bad they had to urinate and defecate into bottles and buckets in their cars.

Former "Basketball Wives LA" star Brittish Williams knows how to do girls night out ... with half-naked chicks.

Williams and her crew celebrated ladies night by throwin' down Benjamins at Ace of Diamonds. She can't get rid of her cash quick enough.

We're told Williams plunked down $10k for boobs and booze.

Hulk Hogan is back and in black -- this time as a spokesperson for 800-Loan-Mart commercials.

The Hulkster caught some heat last year regarding certain racist remarks that were made public after several years ... but he's moved past that and is now set to star in a big TV commercial for the title loan company.

Hulk's been their spokesperson for years, but the company is now ready to air new spots with him.

Visiting The Hulkster -- Dennis Rodman, who was one of the first celebs to defend Hogan, saying they've been pals for 25 years and Hogan doesn't have a racist bone in his 6'7" 300 pound body. The two former tag team partners are both repped by celebrity sports agent Darren Prince.

Mariah Carey has a brand new piece of jewelry -- a massive engagement ring -- 'cause her billionaire boyfriend James Packer just popped the question ... and Mariah said YESSSSS!!!!

It all went down in NYC -- where Packer secretly rounded up a bunch of Mariah's close friends for a private dinner at Eleven Madison Park ... so he could get down on one knee and propose in front of the most special people in her life.

Carey and Packer have only been dating since June 2015 -- but their relationship heated up real quick ... with the two famously spending several consecutive weeks together on his yacht over the summer.

The relationship blossomed months after Carey split from husband numero dos, Nick Cannon ... the father of her two children.

Carey had been married once before Cannon to music mogul Tommy Mottola ... so this will be her 3rd marriage.

As for Packer, the 48-year-old has also been married twice before -- and has 3 children of his own ... so, this is kind of like a celebrity 'Brady Bunch' situation ... with a lot more money.

Packer is Australia's 4th richest man -- thanks to a combination of family money and success in real estate, casinos and entertainment.

As for the wedding, no word on when it's set to go down ... but at the rate these two are moving, it will probably happen in 2016.

Larry Flynt wants to buy the Playboy Mansion, but as part of the deal he wants to make Hugh Hefner his bitch.

Sources connected to Flynt tell TMZ, the Hustler honcho believes the Mansion is only worth $40 million -- far short of the $200 million asking price. But Flynt says he understands the property is iconic so he's willing to double the amount and offer $80 mil, assuming an appraisal justifies it.

Now the strings ... Flynt will ask Hefner to participate in choosing the girls for Hustler. He also wants Hef to write a column for Flynt's mag.

We're told Flynt's intention is to turn the Playboy Mansion into the Hustler Mansion, with the same glitz and glamour that defined it in its heyday ... after some major renovations.

Pablo Sandoval is WAYYY ahead of the game ... surprising his girlfriend with a $140,000 pre-Valentine's Day gift ... and it all went down live on "TMZ Sports."

The Boston Red Sox 3rd baseman FaceTime'd in from The Auto Firm in Miami -- where he commissioned car god Alex Vega to hook up his lady with a killer custom vehicle.

Her reaction is priceless -- and you can see the whole thing on "TMZ Sports" on Friday at 9 PM PT, 12 AM ET on FS1.

"Dukes of Hazzard" star John Schneider has a self-confessed, unemployable, estranged wife ... who could now cost him a fortune.

Elvira Schneider wants $31k a month in temporary spousal support while their divorce winds its way through the legal system.

She says he's a successful actor, whose credits include "Smallville," "The Have and the Have Nots," and "Hero Factory," and she was a stay-at-home mom. She says because she hasn't been in the workforce for so long she can't cut it there anymore.

She also notes she and John have lived "an affluent lifestyle throughout the entirety of their marriage," with homes in California and Louisiana.

Elvira says John is raking in the dough ... more than $83k a month, so she wants a big chunk.
