Kim Kardashian is moving high-priced panties like Oprah moves her favorite things.

Kim recently dropped her list of Valentine's Day must-haves, and while none of the stuff is cheap (Ross, it ain't) ... Kim's followers still cleaned out stock from several distributors. Some of the items include a $128 bra, a $400 choker, and $9k ring.

Fallon Jewelry, the company selling the choker, tells us it sold out of their initial stock within a day. Similarly, Fleur du Mal says it moved a week's worth of inventory in a day after Kim shouted out its bra and panties set.

Kim's no dummy, she made sure to include her own perfume on the list -- so ya know she made a bundle too.

Kate del Castillo is now wanted for questioning by the Mexican government, and TMZ has learned the case involves tequila and alleged money laundering.

Kate -- who interviewed El Chapo while he was on the run -- is an investor in Tequila Honor, and our sources say the government wants to know if El Chapo secretly invested in the company and the money he put in was laundered.

The government wants to question Kate and if she returns to Mexico they could detain her for that purpose. Sources connected with Kate tell us, although she'd like to go back to Mexico to visit family, she will not return until the investigation is closed. She lives in L.A.

Antonio Brown will be BALLIN' OUT in S.F. on Sunday -- even though he's not playing in the game -- 'cause the Steelers WR just rented out a CRAZY bachelor pad ...with a pool in the living room!

TMZ Sports has confirmed ... Brown is shelling out roughly $4,000 per night to live in a swagged out party palace for the week ... a place that comes with a pool in the living room, indoor hot tub, 3 huge projection TV screens and a 24-hour BUTLER!!

We spoke with the booking host for the place who says, "Antonio loves the place."

FYI -- Brown had company Wednesday night ... eating dinner and playing ping pong at the 4,000-square-foot pad with Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater.

Master P is a shadow of his former self in the money department, so he wants his estranged wife to lower her expectations and he's asking the divorce judge for help.

The mogul sent a letter to the judge -- obtained by TMZ -- in which he says Sonya Miller is bleeding him dry with $10k a month in child support and more than $16k a month in spousal support.

He says her taste for the high life is insatiable ... he gave her $8k to find a new place to live and she wants another $20k to get a better crib. What's especially galling, he says, is that she needs a new place because she's alienated her landlord with loud parties and "rude and vulgar" conduct.

Master P says all he cares about is the welfare of his children, and he's distraught that Sonya just sits around and allegedly smokes pot with their 19-year-old daughter, who dropped out of high school.

P was frank in one of the documents, saying, "This is not the 90s, you guys don't know my situation."

It's interesting, Sonya's view is that she helped P build a $200 million empire, and now she wants a big piece of the pie.

The Game's been M.I.A. from a sexual assault case he's facing in Illinois, and as of Monday his absence could cost him millions.

As we previously reported, Priscilla Rainey sued the rapper for $10 million last summer, claiming he had sexually assaulted her on his reality show, "She's Got Game."

Game never answered her complaint, so the judge just entered a default. We're guessing this might finally get Game's attention, since he'll likely have to cough up some cash if he doesn't respond.

A lottery player who claims to have won a $63 million lottery jackpot is now suing the state for holding his check on a technicality.

Someone named Brandy Milliner submitted a winning ticket in the SuperLotto Plus drawing from August 8, 2015, but got a letter from the lottery commission in January saying the ticket was "too damaged."

Time is running out ... the deadline to claim the prize is Feb. 4. If no one claims it, it will be the largest prize in California history to go unclaimed.

In the suit, Milliner says the commission refuses to return the winning ticket ... despite multiple requests for it to do so. Milliner wants a judge to declare him the winner.

"Beverly Hills, 90210" alum Ian Ziering is expanding his zip code and going global ... he's a travel agent now!

Ziering just launched his new venture CelebrityHideaways.com, a site that'll help the average Joe travel, stay and eat like a celebrity ... his rep tells TMZ.

The site features fancy hotels and resorts frequented by lots of celebs, from Beyonce and Jay Z to George and Amal. Ziering and his team have a goal ... vacation like a celeb without paying celeb prices.

Ziering's new gig may seem super random, but we're told Ian's had an entrepreneurial itch since his time on last season's 'Celebrity Apprentice.'

Fun fact: Ziering's old '90210' co-star Tori Spelling also just took a career turn ... she's the face of a pay-by-the-minute psychic hotline.

"Mob Wives" star Big Ang is in dire straits in her fight against stage 4 lung and brain cancer so her family is turning to marijuana as a last resort.

Ang didn't respond to the chemo treatments she started after the New Year, in fact her family says one of the tumors got bigger. Her sister Janine tells us Ang isn't on her deathbed, but her breathing is labored and she's in a lot of pain.

They've decided to try managing her pain with cannabis oil. Some patients believe the alternative treatment can even shrink tumors (that hasn't been scientifically proven) -- but it ain't cheap, going for as much as $60 per gram. The family is raising money via a GoFundMe page.

Ang is too tired to do anything, but Janine is hoping the cannabis oil will at least keep her pain-free.

The NBA is a much more peaceful place now than it was back in the '70s ... so says a guy who would know, Kermit Washington.

Besides having a 15 year run in the league -- Kermit infamously threw the punch that ended Rudy Tomjanovich's career back in 1977 ... one of the most brutal moments in the history of the NBA.

So, when we saw Kermit in L.A. Tuesday-- we had to ask how he felt about the recent wave of NBA violence ... including Blake Griffin, Matt Barnes and even the Kobe vs. Samaki Walker fight.

You gotta hear what Kermit says -- he actually gives props to today's players ... and says there's a good reason why they're on their best behavior -- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Cristiano Ronaldo could be MOVIN' ON UP ... 'cause the soccer superstar is interested in buying a $23 MILLION pad in Trump Tower ... several floors above the one he already owns.

Ronaldo moved in to the legendary NYC building back in August -- dropping $18.5 million for a 2,500 square foot apartment.

But that was before an even bigger apartment became available -- the insanely awesome 3,700 square foot crib that Donald Trump's parents used to live in back in the day.

We're told TONS of people have been inquiring about the spot -- located on the 63rd floor (with kickass views of Central Park and the city) -- and one of the interested parties is Ronaldo ... whose people have already contacted realtors for a walkthrough.

We're told competition for the place is already heating up -- with several high profile people in the running.

And get this ... no matter who buys the place, we're told the buyer will ultimately have to be vetted by the board -- which is headed by Donald himself! But since Ronaldo is already in the building, it seems he should have nothing to worry about.

There was a clear winner in Iowa not named Clinton, Sanders or Cruz -- it's the kid who totally upstaged Hillary Clinton with stickers on his face.

Peter Clinkscales is the guy you saw in the background during Hill's speeches after the Iowa caucus -- y'know, the guy who looked like he was trying to chew the campaign stickers off his cheeks.

Clinkscales, a freshman at Drake University, is now trying to cash in on his 15 minutes. He tweeted that he's selling the stickers, and hoping to score up to $35k to pay for one year's tuition.

Despite his position at the Clinton rally ... Pete says he's undecided on who's getting his vote, but thinks Bernie Sanders is pretty "rad."

If he can get $35,000 for some used stickers, Clinkscales should be president!

Meek Mill dropped $68,000 over the weekend on a Rolex ... which might become an antique before he's able to wear it, because they don't allow fancy watches in the slammer.

Meek bought the piece from Joe the Jeweler aka "Shyne." It's a custom-made Presidential Rolex with 23 carats of white round diamonds.

Here's the problem ... Meek has a hearing Friday in his probation violation case. You'll recall he left the state of Pennsylvania without permission. There are also allegations he tried to cheat a drug test. The judge could send Meek to prison for the violation.

Meek might need a fortified safety deposit box for his collection.

Louis Tomlinson is so serious about being a hands-on father, he's moving into a $21 million L.A. home to be closer to his newborn son.

The pad will be more fun for Louis than it is for baby Freddie, since it's got a home theater, gym, pool, insane city views ... and Leonardo DiCaprio as a neighbor.

The 1D star scored the sweet rental from celeb hypnotist Paul McKenna because he wants to actively co-parent with baby mama Briana Jungwirth.

As we reported, Tomlinson did right by Briana, and rented her a decent pad in Calabasas.

Mark Cuban is setting his sights on "League of Legends" domination -- telling TMZ Sports he's interested in starting his own team to compete against the best in the video game world.

FYI, "League of Legends" is a HUGE business -- with 36 MILLION people who watched the 2015 'LoL' World Championship ... and clearly, Cuban has taken notice.

We spoke with Cuban who tells us he's kicking around the idea of "starting [a team] as the backer and operator" ... which means he would fund the team and be in charge of personnel ... kind of like what he does with the Dallas Mavericks.

"I've played and know a fair amount, but I'm in no rush," Cuban says.

He wouldn't be the first NBA personality to helm a 'LoL' team -- Rick Fox bought one back in December, reportedly spending $1 million on his squad ... and renamed it "Echo Fox."

There's millions of dollars in prize money to be won in global competitions -- and it seems to be getting bigger every single day.

Casey Anthony is learning her goal of anonymously blending into her new Florida neighborhood is tricky, especially when she hosts a yard sale.

A woman in West Palm Beach tells us she was checking out bargains in the area when one caught her eye. She recognized Casey almost immediately and struck up a conversation. She described Casey as "cheery and normal." She also says a large, muscular man was helping her out.

The woman says the items looked too old school for Casey ... floral pictures as well as vintage purses and china sets.

Word around town is that Casey moved in with a new boyfriend.

The Shannon Twins were the victims of quite possibly the strangest, grossest alleged burglary attempt of all time -- and it involved a real life keister job.

Cops responded to a burglary call at the twins' Beverly Hills salon, Glam. Witnesses tell us a woman snatched cash from the register, slipped it inside her vagina and tried to make a run for it -- but an employee stopped her until cops arrived.

Law enforcement sources tell us the woman was indeed "secreting money from an orifice" when officers arrived ... although they couldn't specify which hole. Witnesses say a female cop had to literally "rip it out of her."

The twins weren't there during the freak incident, but had plenty to say afterward.

The woman was taken to a hospital for a psych evaluation.

As for just how much dough she allegedly smuggled ... the twins don't have an exact count yet. One of their employees made the wise decision to wash the cash. Money laundering -- sometimes it's necessary.
