Master P is full of it when he says he's broke, and even worse -- he's turned 3 of his kids into pawns in his divorce war with Sonya Miller ... according to Sonya, anyway.

Sonya is now firing back at her estranged husband and their children. We broke the story about the kids writing letters to the judge saying they preferred living with Dad because Mom is a drug addict.

But in new docs, Sonya says that Master P is pissed about recent court orders for him to pay her what she's owed ... so he used the kids to mislead the court.

She takes a shot at P's parenting too ... saying his decision to involve the children was selfish and not in their best interest. Sonya's also not buying his claim he only makes $2,441 per month.

She claims his net worth was $350 mil within the last 5 years, plus ... he still rolls in a Rolls.

Jerry Heller is gone -- but his defamation suit over "Straight Outta Compton" is very much alive.

We got Heller's lawyer, Mickey Shapiro, at LAX, and he was passionate about how Jerry was wronged and how it essentially killed him. Mickey explains why Jerry's estate will take this $110 million case to a jury if necessary to unsully Jerry's name.

Mickey blasts Jerry's detractors, saying anti-Semitism played more than a small part in the attacks.

Cube and Dre ... don't cut your lawyers loose just yet.

Some kids eat from a silver spoon, but Too Short and Ray J are making sure their manager's newborn learns to tell time from a shiny new Rolex.

Their manager, David Weintraub, and his fiancee, Mallory Knighton, just had their first kid -- a baby girl named Stevie Rose -- and we're told Short and Ray decided to go halfsies on the $15,000 timepiece.

It's covered in diamonds and white and yellow gold, with a sapphire face ... in honor of Dave and Stevie's birthstone.

The deep-pocketed uncles have set the bar high. Our advice -- start saving now for Stevie's sweet 16.

Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton had a happy ending on the finale of "Bachelor in Paradise" ... but there's trouble on the horizon with her ex-husband.

Nick Buonfiglio filed docs -- obtained by TMZ -- saying he deserves more time with their 2 daughters. He says Amanda's been dumping their 2 and 4-year-old in full-time daycare lately while she's off working on multiple TV shows.

He adds ... all the media attention is bad for their girls, but great for Amanda's bottom line. Nick claims her income has skyrocketed since 'BiP' -- from $100/year to around $20k a month. Unclear how she would have lived on $100 a year, but now Nick wants her to pay more child support.

Amanda has agreed to try settling their differences in mediation.

Charlie Sheen fueled up the private jet for his birthday and partied with a couple of his favorite girls.

Unlike most tales of the Warlock, this time he was hanging with his daughters, Lola and Sam. Turns out they're huge Macklemore fans, and Sheen decided to celebrate his 51st last weekend by taking them to TWO concerts ... one in Seattle and then Las Vegas.

Despite recent financial tensions with Denise Richards ... she dropped their girls off for the trip with Dad and his pal, Tony Todd. In addition to the daddy/daughter weekend ... Charlie's other gift was an authentic Gold Glove award from Tony.

As for those wondering why Charlie's been crying poverty to Denise and Brooke Mueller, but is still flying on a fancy jet -- we're told the aircraft was a gift from an "old friend and future business partner, Robert Earl."

Jimmy Choo was downright sole-less -- threatening factories and launching a campaign to crush its departed co-founder's new company ... according to a new lawsuit.

Tamara Mellon, helped put the iconic luxury shoe and accessory brand on the map, but quit in 2012 ... and launched her own shoe line, TMB, a year later.

In the docs, Mellon says JC set out to punish her by issuing ultimatums to all the factories it deals with for manufacturing: Work with Tamara, and Jimmy Choo takes its heel biz elsewhere.

She says the threatened factories had no choice but to dump her, forcing her to go into bankruptcy and lose millions she personally invested. Mellon is suing her old cohorts for damages in excess of $4 million.

Grown ass women can dream of owning one -- meanwhile, North West's already taking her Louis Vuitton for a spin around the playground.

Okay, we don't know where North really went with her high-priced purse, but Kim and Kanye's 3-year-old was flossing big time in NYC Thursday.

For those of you still dreaming ... looks like her LV retails for just under a grand.

Side note: Even her driver's got Yeezys.

Jules Wainstein got some good news in divorce court Thursday -- her estranged husband has to fork over $10,000 per month, but he's already warning her he can't afford it.

The 'Real Housewives of NY' star and her ex, Michael, were in an NYC court when the judge ordered him to pay the $10k for spousal and child support. She had requested $25k a month.

Michael immediately cried poverty -- his attorney says his client doesn't have any income and his credit cards have been frozen ... so he doesn't think he'll be able to make the payments.

The judge wasn't swayed. First payment's due Sept. 30.

Jodie Sweetin and her ex-husband could be facing drug tests with very little warning ... and it's all part of their child custody agreement.

The "Full House" child star finalized her divorce from Morty Coyle Wednesday, and according to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- they'll have share custody of their 6-year-old daughter ... with a twist.

Jodie and Morty can order one another to submit to a hair follicle drug test, with 12 hours notice, if they suspect the other drove their kid while under the influence.

As for finances ... Jodie will fork over $10k to Morty, on top of the community property thing -- they're splitting all income made during the marriage, which includes her "Full House" and "Fuller House" dough.

According to the docs, Jodie says she's currently making $4,000 a month. Syndication residuals do start shrinking after a while.

Tyga's new deal with Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music isn't a favor to the Kardashians -- we're told Kanye legitimately digs his music.

Sources close to the rappers tell TMZ they've worked together on music for years, and signing Tyga was strictly a business decision. Although Kanye is clearly all-in with the family on all its ventures ... we're told the Kardashians did NOT cross the line into his music world.

As one source put it, Kanye doesn't take on ANY artist or project he doesn't believe in personally.

Plus, there's a genuine friendship between them -- we're told 'Ye and Tyga started teaming up way before Kylie was in the picture. In fact, Tyga was with Blac Chyna when they started, and that's how she and Kim became friends.

We're told Tyga's been hitting the studio a lot with Kanye lately, and will be featured on the G.O.O.D. Music album, "Cruel Winter," which is supposed to drop next year.

Elon Musk's trying to save his legacy off the backs of Tesla shareholders ... so claims a Tesla shareholder who's suing the icon.

The shareholder claims Elon's move to infuse his failing SolarCity with $2.6 billion of Tesla stock is outrageous, self-involved and irresponsible.

According to the docs ... Elon's trying to run Tesla like a privately held company, moving money around not because it's right for the car company but to build his own legacy of changing the world.

The lawsuit claims Elon doesn't have his eye on the ball ... that Tesla itself is operating in the red, burning cash, and he should focus on building electric cars. The stockholder calls Elon's obsession with SolarCity "a dangerous distraction."

Colin Kaepernick jersey sales have EXPLODED ... and now he's puttin' his money where his mouth is, again ... by donating 100% of the proceeds he receives from the transactions.

Kaep -- whose #7 San Francisco 49ers jersey is currently the best selling jersey in the NFL -- hit up Instagram and vowed to give every dime of his share of the profit to people in need.

"I wasn't expecting my jersey sales to jump to number one because of this, but it shows the people's belief that we can achieve justice and equality for ALL!"

"The only way I can repay you for the support is to return the favor by donating all the proceeds I receive from my jersey sales back into the communities!"

This is the 2nd time this month Kaepernick has pledged to give away a huge chunk of change. Last week, he announced he'd give $1 MILLION to charity.

It's unclear exactly how much dough Kaep will give away ... but with the jerseys flying off the shelves, it's certain to be another big donation.

Kanye West would probably agree he's bigger than the Pope -- only now he can actually peg that belief to hard numbers ... in merchandise sales.

Sources close to Mr. West tell us he set a record at his Madison Square Garden show Monday night, where he hawked $780,000 in Yeezy merch ... beating Pope Francis' previous record by $240k.

Pope Francis sold $540,000 in Pope-laced gear a year ago at the same venue, but the Saint Pablo Tour crowd proved more fast and loose with their wallets.

Both guys had stuff with their faces all over it ... but we're guessing Francis' Rosaries don't hold a candle to Saint Pablo swag.

Keshia Knight Pulliam is accusing her estranged husband, Ed Hartwell, of not ponying up money he agreed to pay her ... now she's asking the court to find him and lock him up until she gets it.

Keshia claims she and the former NFLer signed an agreement shortly after he filed for divorce ... which required him to cut her a check. She says it never happened, despite repeated attempts to collect.

According to the docs ... the amount she's supposed to get is confidential, but she's so pissed she wants Ed behind bars.

Motley Crüe made out like bandits on its farewell tour by ripping off two famous rock 'n' roll photographers -- slapping their work on all sorts of merchandise ... according to the photogs.

The Crüe rode off into the sunset with the 2014-15 tour, and sold a bunch of gear with classic images of the band from its heyday in the '80s. Barry Levine and Neil Zlozower say they took those photos, and the band never got their permission use their pics.

In their lawsuit Levine and Zlozower say Motley Crüe hawked t-shirts, crop tops, stickers, vests, flags, patches ... and even babies onesies featuring their famous photos -- but they got bupkis out of the deal.

Von Miller may have started an expensive new trend on the Denver Broncos defense ... 'cause one of his teammates just got himself a brand new diamond grill ... and TMZ Sports has the pics.

You already know ... Von spent roughly $100k on insane mouth jewelry this off-season ... and now we've learned cornerback Bradley Roby got himself a shiny new piece as well.

We spoke with Scott Spira at Cooka T Grillz who says Roby wanted something special to kick off the 2016 NFL season ... so he hooked him up with a 14 karat white gold piece with 220 diamonds in it.

The Denver Broncos ... diamonds in their mouths ... and on their fingers.
