French Montana just scored with Selena Gomez ... he bought her Calabasas home for $3.3 million ... $150k under the listing price.

Selena, repped by the Altman Brothers, put the Mediterranean pad on the market last year after stalkers kept showing up.

The 5 bedroom, 6 bath home is in the same neighborhood where French's ex Khloe Kardashian lives, which makes this an interesting move on his part.

It didn't take long ... Prince's sister Tyka went ballistic in the first meeting with the singer's siblings and marched out of the room ... and we're told it's already becoming a money squabble.

Sources with first-hand knowledge tell TMZ, the meeting was held Thursday in Minnesota. Tyka, Prince's younger sister, was present, along with brothers Alfred and Omarr.

We're told the meeting was tense, and 2 hours in Alfred expressed his displeasure that he was the only sibling excluded from Prince's memorial service, which Tyka planned. We're told an argument erupted and she stormed out of the room.

We're also told the brothers have a clear impression from the meeting ... Tyka thinks she's entitled to more than them when it comes time to divide Prince's assets. As we reported, under Minnesota law all 6 siblings -- irrespective of whether they're half or full -- share equally, but apparently Tyka doesn't see it that way.

Our sources say after Tyka left, a rep from the bank that was appointed as the administrator took Alfred on a tour of Prince's home and the area where he died "so he could properly grieve."

The customized piano Prince played at his final public performance was thiiis close to getting him to do something he almost NEVER did ... sign a big time endorsement deal.

Yamaha exec, Chris Gero, tells TMZ the company started negotiations with Prince's reps 4 months ago. The plan was for Yamaha to provide instruments and round-the-clock service for the remainder of Prince's "Piano & A Microphone" tour.

Yamaha sent Prince a $200,000 purple grand piano a few days before he died in hopes of closing the deal -- and it seemed to be working. Prince excitedly tweeted about it, and had it onstage with him when he played briefly during his Paisley Park dance party on the Saturday before his death.

Gero says all signs were pointing to them closing the deal when Prince died.

Somewhere Steven Spielberg's wearing a s*** eatin' grin just like this.

When Comcast agreed to buy DreamWorks Animation Thursday for $3.8 billion, Spielberg's pockets instantly got way fatter. His 5% stake in DreamWorks means he'll get $187 million -- CASH, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller are meeting right now with their business managers and a psychologist for one of the twins to make a case for more child support, because they say the children are at serious risk.

As we reported, Charlie had his monthly support reduced from $55k he paid to both Brooke and Denise. Charlie claimed he could no longer afford that amount, and the judge reduced the support payments to $10k each.

Sources connected with Brooke and Denise tell us, they cannot afford to cover basic bills. We're told one child is receiving significant psychological help and there are other needs as well among the 4 kids.

We're told insurance is not covering even basic bills, and neither Denise nor Brooke can cut it.

Denise, Brooke, the business manager and psychiatrist, Charles Sophy, who has treated the children in the past, are meeting to formulate a game plan so they can go back to court.

The media giant behind "American Idol" and "So You Think You Can Dance" has filed for bankruptcy, and part of the problem is ... 'Idol' was hemorrhaging money in its final seasons.

Core Media Group filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy Thursday morning saying it's several hundred million dollars in the hole, and needs to reorganize its debts. Core and all its subsidiaries say they have $73 million in assets, but more than $512 million in debt.

One of its biggest creditors is 'Idol' creator Simon Fuller, who is owed more than $3.3 million. Several law firms and music labels, as well as the FOX Network are also owed dough.

Core Media's filing includes many of its holdings, including 19 Entertainment which owns the recording rights of 'Idol' superstars like Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson.

Sheila E. is doing everything she can to make sure no one exploits Prince's music or his money ... but she's NOT warring with his family over her friend's estate.

Sheila has deep concerns that vultures are looking for opportunities to profit off Prince's death -- so she's offered her support to his family and Paisley Park reps ... according to Sheila's rep.

The rep says there's no truth to reports Sheila is fighting with Tyka, Prince's sister, over the estate. She adds, Sheila "has received no compensation nor will accept compensation" ... and she's already turned down multiple offers to get paid for "tribute" concerts.

Don Cheadle's longtime girlfriend got her hands dirty with the couple's home and the result is a modern beach pad they're hawking for $2.45 million.

Bridgid Coulter -- an actress-turned-designer -- did more than a simple flip on their bungalow in Venice, CA. For starters, she raised the ceilings, and added a second level. The crib has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 360-degree views from its rooftop deck.

If the environment is your thing -- it has hydronic radiant heating under the floors, and remote venting clerestory windows (really fancy skylights). Plus, the yards are filled with local, drought-tolerant plants.

He's about to become a millionaire overnight -- so top NFL prospect Artie Burns decided to celebrate early ... by dropping $41k on some sick jewelry, TMZ Sports has learned.

The former University of Miami star is projected to go in the 1st or 2nd round ... and earlier this week, he swung over to Joe Avianne's at Avianne and Co. in NYC to ice up.

"Artie came through and picked up a 2-tone Rolex ($19k), a diamond cross ($3k) and a diamond tennis chain ($19k)," Avianne tells us.

So what's Artie's next purchase? Hopefully a safe.

"Gigolos" star Nick Hawk's gotta be feeling real cocky after insuring his money making man parts for a cool $1 million.

We're told Nick got the policy through Geldin Insurance. We're also told the eye-opening day at the office for his insurance broker was taped, and will be featured on the reality show.

As we reported ... Mariah Carey recently had her legs and vocal cords insured for $70 million -- so, in the insurance world, at least ... Nick's package is still kinda small potatoes.

Nick Young forgot all about his former high school basketball coach when he made it big in the NBA ... at least that's what the guy's saying in a new lawsuit.

Legendary basketball owner Ozzie Silna -- who along with his brother made the GREATEST deal in the history of sports -- has died ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The 83-year-old titan and his brother Dan became sports business gods -- reportedly making $800 MILLION from the 1976 sale of their ABA team, the Spirits of St. Louis.

The long story short ... Ozzie and Dan -- who had previously made a fortune in the textile industry -- played hardball with the NBA during the ABA-NBA merger negotiations.

Instead of taking a $3 million lump sum deal to fold their team, the Silnas negotiated for a portion of the NBA's TV rights ... which they owned in PERPETUITY.

The Silnas had made $300 MILLION from the deal over the years ... but reportedly agreed to sell their rights back in the NBA in 2014 -- for an ADDITIONAL $500 MILLION!!!

We spoke with Dan Silna ... who told us Ozzie passed after a "short illness."

Wanna own a piece of the actual Staples Center hardwood from Kobe Bryant's legendary final game? Well, now you can ... if you've got A TON of cash to spend.

The Lakers have announced ... the 3 panels that made up the custom #8 that was on the court when Kobe dropped 60 are going up for auction as a single item -- starting bid is $10,000.

And check this out ... proceeds from the sale will benefit the Lakers Youth Foundation -- which helps underprivileged kids.

As for the #24 that was also on the court that day -- the Lakers say that will be displayed as artwork in the new Lakers practice facility.

It's now official ... a judge has determined Prince died without a will and the bank the singer trusted has officially been appointed to manage his assets.

TMZ has obtained legal docs from a hearing that was held Wednesday morning in Minnesota. We broke the story, Prince's sister, Tyka, filed papers to start probate proceedings, stating as far as she knew her brother did not write a will.

The judge agrees, and has ruled Prince's assets will be distributed to his heirs ... in this case, his brothers and sisters.

The judge also appointed Bremer Trust to serve as the administrator of Prince's estate, which we're told is worth somewhere south of $150 million. Tyka says Prince trusted the bank and did business there for years. The judge is only making the trust the administrator for up to 6 months, until a personal representative can be appointed. That could end up being a sticky situation if his relatives all vie for the position.

BTW, Prince's half brother, Omarr Baker, appeared at the hearing.

One of the stars of 'Million Dollar Listing L.A.' is true to the title ... he's selling his own home for almost exactly that amount.

James Harris just listed his 3-bedroom Studio City pad for $1,099,000 with listing agent David Parnes. Sounds like a lot to the average Joe but most homes Harris sells on the Bravo show go for north of $15 mil.

It's your basic L.A. bungalow ... hardwood floors, a remodeled kitchen, guesthouse and yard.

Prince was a disaster when it came to finances and his business affairs, and many of the people who worked with him say ignoring their advice to make a will is just a small piece of a chaotic puzzle.

We're told in the 5 years leading up to Prince's death, it was virtually impossible to get his signature on any legal document. Sources who worked with Prince tell us, he felt "screwed over" by people who had him sign deals in his younger years, and that made him "paranoid" to sign anything.

Prince was so distrusting ... he jumped from lawyer to lawyer almost every year, and sometimes more often. One professional who worked with the singer tells us, Prince called him out of the blue one day and said he wanted to hire him. The professional asked Prince for his business files, and the answer was, "I don't know, they're out there somewhere." The professional never got the files.

We're told although Prince hired and fired a slew of professionals, his most trusted advisers were "beautiful, 20-something women, all models with no experience in anything." It caused chaos in his life ... especially in the financial department.

We broke the story, Prince's sister, Tyka, filed legal docs Tuesday stating there was no evidence of a will.
