Portia Doubleday had a bounty on her head ... in a plot worthy of a Shonda Rhimes show.

We caught up with the "Mr. Robot" star Monday in L.A. where she told our photog about a crazy kidnapping scam where hackers scared the crap out of her family.

Slash is playing hardball in his divorce ... we've learned he wants a judge to say he was NEVER married to Perla with the endgame of shutting down her request for a cut of his massive fortune, but he's got a major uphill battle on his hands.

Turns out ... when Perla married Slash in 2001, she was still married to another dude, so Slash thinks she's a bigamist who had no right to share in his earnings during their 13-year marriage.

Here's what we know. Perla married a guy named Carlos Marty back in '93, but it only lasted a month. She got divorced, or so she thought. Turns out, the necessary forms for a final judgment were never properly filed.

Perla assumed she was a single lady when she tied the knot with Slash, and he assumed the same. Years later, the couple tried to get dual citizenship for their son, Cash, and during a document search they discovered she was not properly divorced.

Perla claims the couple then hired a real lawyer in 2009 and he got a judge to finalize her divorce from Carlos and hizzoner made it retroactive to 1994 ... something a judge has the power to do under these circumstances.

But now things aren't so nice, and Slash contends Perla's divorce was never final so he was NEVER married to her. As such, he wants to slam the door shut on her claim to half the earnings he accumulated during the marriage ... which totals in the 10s of millions of dollars.

We did some checking, and there's a law about "putative spouses" ... that means if 2 people have a reasonable belief they're married but there's some irregularity in the documents, a judge can still treat them as married and divide their earnings so each still gets half.

Advantage: Perla.

NBA star Joe Johnson -- who's made nearly $200 MILLION in the NBA -- is being evicted from his lavish Miami condo ... after building owners claim he stiffed them on rent for months!

TMZ Sports has obtained court docs filed in Miami in which the owners of the Marinablue Condos (this place has insane ocean views) -- claim Johnson leased a place in March 2016 back when he was playing for the Miami Heat.

According to the docs, Johnson agreed to pay $5,500 per month in rent -- but when the bills showed up, Johnson never forked over the dough.

In fact, the owners claim he paid $0 in rent from April to August. For the record, Johnson signed a new deal with the Jazz in July.

The owners are demanding $39,500 in back rent plus damages and fees -- and they want a judge to sign off on the eviction so they can take back possession of the property.

Denise White, Johnson's rep, issued us the following statement.

Rachael Harris is an employer from hell who worked her nanny like a dog and then stiffed her out of more than a month's pay ... according to a lawsuit.

Davy Salley-Rumph says in legal docs Harris -- who stars in "Lucifer" -- hired her to nanny her kid for 2 months. But Davy says Harris immediately showed her horns by cracking the whip with 12 to 24 hour days, 6 to 7 days a week ... without breaks or OT pay.

Davy says Harris committed a cardinal sin in early October when she fired Davy for no good reason, and then refused to pay her wages for the remaining five weeks of the deal.

She's suing for the back pay, plus penalties and interest. We've reached out to Rachael ... so far, no word back.

The money Gods have answered Gilbert Arenas' prayers -- because just days after he claimed he couldn't afford private school for his kids ... the ex-NBA star made a cool $600k in a real estate deal.

Mara Teigen not only looks like Angelina Jolie -- she's spending like she has Angie's bank account ... dropping nearly 10 LARGE on a tiny, tiny puppy.

Sources connected to the deal tell us the model scooped up a 4-month-old teacup Pomeranian from Betty's Teacup Puppies. Here are the staggering numbers -- $9k for the 1.2 pound dog. We're told she's gonna grow though ... to a whopping 2 or 2.5 lbs.

Mara named her lil bitch Miss Amazing ... and with that price tag, it's hard to argue.

ATTENTION, SPORTS GAMBLERS!!!!

Wanna (possibly) win some money this weekend??? Pay attention ...

The guy who's handicapping prowess inspired the movie "Two For The Money" is about to give you free cash (maybe) ... by revealing the biggest LOCKS of the NFL gambling weekend.

TMZ Sports spoke with Brandon Lang ... Matthew McConaughey played him in 'TFTM' ... and asked him -- for you guys of course, not for us -- to reveal the safest bets for this NFL weekend.

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION -- Brandon breaks it down good ... and even though we really don't know what the hell he's talking about ... we're gonna go ahead and go with his picks anyway.

Mariah Carey has privately made a demand to James Packer ... he needs to pay her $50 mil ... or else.

Sources connected to the now warring ex-couple tell TMZ ... Mariah believes James has cost her tens of millions of dollars, and here's why:

-- She claims he got her to move from New York to L.A., uprooting her entire life, so he could be near his kids.

-- She claims the incident on the yacht in Greece -- where she says he did something awful to her assistant -- has traumatized Mariah so much she had to cancel the South American leg of her tour.

-- He made various financial promises to her.

No comment from Packer.

Floyd Mayweather led a PARADE OF SUPERCARS out in L.A. Thursday night -- rolling out more than $12 MILLION in fancy automobiles ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

The boxer hit up Le Jardin with 5 cars in his entourage.

1st Car -- Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita ... worth $4.8 Million

2nd Car -- Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport (white) ... worth $3.5 Million

3rd Car -- Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport (black) ... worth $3.5 Million

4th Car -- McLaren MP4-12C ... worth $230k

5th Car -- Maserati GranTurismo ... valued around $150k

It's a case of too bad, so sad for Alec Baldwin ... according to the art gallery owner he's suing for selling him a "fake" painting.

Mary Boone responded to Baldwin's suit, saying the actor waited more than 6 years to file the suit over "Sea and Mirror" -- the Ross Bleckner painting Boone's gallery sold him for $190k. In docs, Boone's legal team says the statute of limitations has run out, so Baldwin's got no beef ... legally speaking.

Further, she claims Baldwin committed tax fraud. Boone's attorneys claim he should have paid $16,625 in NY city and state tax on the painting, but instead had it "shipped momentarily" to his Cali home, then back to his NYC pad.

Translation: He has unclean hands in this deal, and therefore shouldn't be pointing fingers at her in court.

Boone says she's not conceding Alec's counterfeit claims are true ... she's just not addressing it because his lawsuit's too late. She's asking the court to toss the case.

Robin Williams' wheels attracted some high rollin' cycling fans -- including one who paid more than $40,000 for just one of Robin's favorite bikes!

Robin's kids donated 87 of his high-end bicycles -- some custom-made -- for an online auction that closed Tuesday. One lucky bidder even scored a replica of a 10-speed Robin's pal, Lance Armstrong, rode in the Tour de France.

We know, we know. Yes ... it works without steroids.

We're told the auction, hosted by Paddle8, drew bids from 25 countries and raised more than $600k. Robin's Master Pista, La Carrera with a custom design from artist Futura 2000 was the biggest ticket item ... going for over $40k.

Jules Wainstein's ex tried to pull a fast one by renting out an NYC apartment he had no business hawking because SHE owns it ... according to a new lawsuit, but he denies any wrongdoing.

Michael Wainstein is being sued by Jonathan Sheffer -- a famous conductor -- who says he needed to lease a place for his nanny, and Michael offered the pad ... at a premium. In the suit, Sheffer says Michael demanded more than $20k for rent, security deposit and broker fees.

Sheffer agreed and signed the lease, but according to the docs ... he had maintenance issues with the place, which led to his big discovery -- Michael wasn't the owner.

Sheffer thinks Michael was taking the cash for personal use. He's suing for a complete refund, plus damages.

Jay Z tried to snap up all the unreleased Prince music that was unearthed at Paisley Park after the singer's death ... TMZ has learned.

We've learned Jay met with Prince's sister, Tyka, and her husband, Maurice Phillips, several weeks ago. The mogul flew Tyka and Maurice to NYC to meet with him.

Sources close to Prince's family tell us ... Jay made an offer of around $40 million. We were unable to confirm the figure from Jay's camp.

But there was a rub. Tyka may be Prince's only full sibling, but she has to get sign-off from all the brothers and sisters, in addition to the trust that is managing the estate.

Paris Hilton is a major mogul whose time is worth serious money ... according to a site auctioning off meetings with the most successful, influential and stupid rich business people.

Paris joins the ranks of famous biz giants like Mark Cuban, Russell Simmons, Richard Branson and Steve Ballmer in selling her valuable time through Charitybuzz. Aspiring entrepreneurs can bid on a "power lunch" with Hilton, followed by a design meeting in either NYC or L.A.

While the networking experience with Paris is expected to go for $5k -- and her personal net worth has reportedly topped $100 mil -- she still has some work to do to catch the likes of Cuban. Lunch with Mr. "Shark Tank" is expected to rake in $25k.

The car dealer who sold Blac Chyna her new luxury whip just doubled the commission ... thanks to Amber Rose catching a case of Rolls envy.

We got Amber test driving her own Rolls-Royce Wraith Tuesday at the same Bev Hills dealership where Chyna scored hers a week ago.

Looks like Amber could've used some more test runs, but in the end we're told she made off with a white one, identical to BC's -- minus the purple trim inside.

That explains her far more reasonable price tag of $371k.

Pro poker player Griffin Benger doesn't regret blasting his rival, Will Kassouf, for bullying him and other players ... but admits the pair of aces in his hand gave him courage to do it.

Griffin was on "TMZ Live" to break down the video of his battle at the World Series of Poker -- which went viral Monday. In case you missed it, GB went off on Kassouf, calling him verbally abusive. This all went down with $27.8 million in the pot!
