Rapper Chief Keef got tossed out on his ass today ... when Lake Country deputies arrived to remove him from his apartment.

Keef was evicted from his crib in suburban Chicago for failing to pay rent. According to local reports, the rapper owed four months rent totaling $11,300.

Keef's rap sheet is as long as his rap career these days -- his most recent arrest coming back in March for DUI (also in Highland Park) ... which came just two weeks after he left rehab for weed.

Keef doesn't seem fazed by the eviction. Shortly after being shown the door he posted an Instagram vid in a new pad, and bragged he was "Looking For Houses."

Sharon Osbourne got a guy's number last night -- a guy who belted out a song for her in London ... and who also happens to possibly be homeless.

Osbourne was leaving a restaurant when she was serenaded by a dapper looking guy -- who photogs claim is homeless. The two swayed back and forth while he sang ABBA’s “I Have a Dream” ... sour notes included.

Osbourne handed him a few British pounds (about $80) -- and we're told she even said she’d give his number to Simon Cowell ... for consideration on one of his TV shows

Britain's got talent -- and some of its homeless people apparently have phones.

"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Stevie J just learned a hard lesson about being a baby daddy ... you rack up a million-dollar child support debt and you go directly to jail.

Here's what landed Stevie J behind bars. He and his live-in GF had a kid in '97 and '98. In '99 Stevie was ordered to pay around $6,600 a month in child support, which eventually was raised to $8,500.

According to the criminal complaint, Stevie J stopped paying in 2001 -- he's never paid a cent since then. So now the tab is a whopping $1,107,412.

Comedian Aries Spears' ex-wife is walking away from their 2-year marriage with some high-priced parting gifts that could cost him over $400K right off the bat ... TMZ has learned.

Spears' divorce from Elisa Larregui was finalized May 23 and according to court docs obtained by TMZ ... he's obligated to buy her a home "OF [HER] CHOOSING" in Florida -- with the very specific price range of $300K to $375K.

The ex "MadtV" star also has to buy Elisa a 2014 Cadillac Escalade ... and again the devil's in the details. According to the docs, the whip MUST have a backseat entertainment center and a sticker price of $60-$75K.

Elisa -- who already has full legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old son, Jordan -- also gets $5,000 per month in child support.

It's gonna be way harder to find good help for rapper Mickey Avalon ... whose housekeeper claims she was practically electrocuted by his dirty oven.

Lula Malone claims she was cleaning the oven in Avalon's L.A. home last month when she was jolted by an electric shock ... according to the lawsuit she just filed.

Malone says she suffered serious injury and in the legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- she blames Avalon because his home and oven were "maintained in an unsafe manner." Malone doesn't explain any specific hazards of the oven.

Malone says she's screwed because Avalon doesn't have workers' comp insurance to cover her injuries. She's suing "Mr. Right" for her medical expenses and lost wages.

We reached out to Mickey's reps -- so far no word back.

Carly Rae Jepsen and Owl City's hit song "Good Time" is NOT a ripoff of another song by Allyson Burnett -- but it IS about to earn Owl City more than $500,000 ... TMZ has learned.

Allyson had filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Carly Rae and Owl City back in 2012 ... claiming their track ripped off her "Ah, It's a Love Song."

Today, attorneys for Owl City -- real name Adam Young -- filed a proposal in Federal Court that would award him $525,901.77 in disputed ASCAP royalties for the song.

The deal still has to be approved by the court, but we're told that's a formality.

The suit against Carly Rae was also dropped last week.

Allyson's attorney tells us she decided to withdraw her lawsuit after an "extensive investigation" confirmed "Good Time" was an original tune.

No duh ... said almost everyone who voted in a TMZ poll.

Halle Berry's checkbook is about to get a workout ... she's going to start paying baby daddy Gabriel Aubry $16,000/month in child support -- which comes to almost $200K a year.

A judge signed off on a settlement involving their custody dispute over 6-year-old Nahla.

L.A. Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon also ordered Berry to pay Aubry a retroactive payment of $115,000. And get this ... she also has to pay him $300,000 in attorney's fees.

Timbaland's got some chutzpah on him -- he chose to perform in Finland instead of Australia ... which would be fine if he hadn't run off with $500,000 from an Australian promoter ... or so the promoter claims in a new lawsuit.

Here's what happened ... Timbaland agreed to a series of concerts in Australia and New Zealand back in July of 2008, and got half of his million dollar payday up front -- according to the lawsuit filed today by the promoter ... and obtained by TMZ.

The promoter, Showtime, claims less than a month before the shows, they were told Tim had to reschedule for August ... but they were never given a reason for the delay.

But a few weeks later, Showtime claims they learned Timbaland had scheduled a series of concerts in Finland ... on the same August dates as the shows down under.

Now for the chutzpah. In the suit, Showtime says when Timbaland finally contacted them to say he was canceling ... he demanded his final $500,000 payment! Yeah ... they refused.

Evan Rachel Wood has more than 10 reasons to hate the movie "10 Things I Hate About You" ... because TMZ has learned she is being sued for a whopping $30 million for bailing on her part in the sequel.

According to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, Wood was paid $300,000 in advance to play the lead in "10 Things I Hate About Life."

In the suit, the producers claim they had to shut down production in January 2013, which they say was within their right. But when they came back to Wood to resume production in November 2013, they claim she refused return to work.

The producers claim they pleaded with her to return to the film, and even agreed to pay her more money, but she still never returned to the production.

Wood is being sued for no less than $30 million ... plus damages and attorney's fees.

6:50 PM PT -- Wood's rep tells TMZ the lawsuit is a "bullying tactic from financially troubled producers" who ran out of money during production, and could never "get their act together" to resume shooting. The rep adds the producers didn't pay Evan money she was owed ... and says they are the ones who breached the contract.

Sean Kingston allegedly orchestrated the beating of a Hollywood club promoter in a dispute over his appearance fee ... TMZ has learned.

According to our sources, Kingston was contracted to host and perform at Avalon in Hollywood Wednesday night, alongside Carmen Electra and The Jazmin Sisters. We're told Kingston was to be paid $11,000 for the event, and received half up front.

But our sources say the promoter was upset Kingston didn't hype the gig enough on social media -- and showed up 3 hours late last night. We're told when he did arrive, he had his own security and 4-5 friends ... and immediately started harassing the promoter for the rest of his pay.

When the promoter refused, he tells TMZ Kingston ordered his boys to pin him against a wall ... allegedly jacking his watch, his iPhone and a few grand in cash.

Cops were called to the scene, but no arrests were made. Police confirm the victim told them Kingston orchestrated the attack over money.

Charlize Theron pulled a total normie move at Pinkberry ... telling 'em she didn't have any money on her to pay her $3.75 fro-yo tab!

She's so lucky the Pinkberry employee trusted her to come back -- and the employee's super lucky Charlize came back ... with BIG money!

Donald Sterling's decided to go quietly after all -- he's reportedly in the process of dropping that $1 BILLION lawsuit against the NBA for forcing him to sell the L.A. Clippers.

Sterling had claimed in the lawsuit -- filed last week -- the NBA booted him based on an illegal recording that painted him as a racist. He was also fighting the $2.5 million fine the league levied against him.

But today his attorney told The Hollywood Reporter ... Sterling is letting it all go, and the suit would be dropped within a couple days.

3:15 PM PT -- We just uncovered the most crucial part of this story ... Charlize's fro-yo order! Here it is: chocolate hazelnut with chocolate shavings. Seems a little redundant, especially for $100, but whatever.

Charlize Theron had a Pinkberry worker thinking she got screwed -- the Oscar winner promised to come back to pay her bill, and even though it seemed touch and go for a while ... Charlize eventually came through with a HUGE tip.

Here's what went down -- an employee at Pinkberry in Hollywood says Charlize came in Tuesday afternoon, but when it came time to pay her $3.75 tab ... she plead poverty, saying she didn't have money on her.

The employee, Keila, says Charlize promised to come back, but more than an hour passed before Charlize returned (with Sean Penn, no less).

Watch the video ... Charlize plays it cool on the way out, but right after that Keila showed us why it was worth the wait -- CT left a Benjamin for the $3.75 bill!

Charlize ... definitely not a monster.

"Meet the Parents" star Teri Polo has a house full of pets -- seven of the critters -- and while we're sure she loves 'em in her own way ... she just told the world they ain't worth jack.

We broke the story ... Teri's more than $700K in the hole to the IRS, so she filed for bankruptcy earlier this year -- and now she's taking inventory of her assets in new documents ... obtained by TMZ.

First, the sorta good news: Teri's assets include a 2012 Prius worth $16,800, jewelry worth $1,700, and some office equipment worth $225. Like we said ... sorta good.

Now the sad news: she also lists her 4 dogs and 3 cats as assets, but values them at a whopping ZERO dollars. She could be pulling an Aaron Carter -- who did the same thing last year claiming he didn't want creditors to liquidate his pooch.

Or maybe she just thinks they're worthless.

Terri's optimistic though ... she's hauled in $141K this year, and made more than $300K last year. In the docs, she lists her ability to continue working and earning residuals as her best asset.

Someone really needs a fresh 'Focker.'

New Balance is waging a sneaker war against one of the most iconic names in high fashion ... claiming Karl Lagerfeld ripped off its trademark sneaker for his new shoes.

According to a new lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- New Balance claims Lagerfeld is using a block capital letter "K" on an otherwise identical shoe design. NB claims this creates confusion.

Dina Lohan's prayers have just been answered -- TMZ has learned, a judge just ordered Michael Lohan to fork over back child support to cover his son Cody's Catholic school education ... or a warrant will be issued for his arrest.

We're told Michael has until July to pay up. Dina claims he owes $20,000, legal docs say it's only $3,800 ... and Michael claims he's OVERpaid his ex.

Now let us pray ...

Michael Lohan, who art a deadbeat (allegedly)
Shallow be thy fame
Don't look so glum
And don't try to run
Because if you don't pay your damn bills already, you'll end up in jail again.

Give your kids their monthly bread (money)
And they'll forgive your trespasses,
As you forgive Kate Major, who trespasses against you.
And lead yourself not into temptation,
but deliver yourself from evil.

Seriously, enough already.
