Paris Hilton goes big when she goes small, dropping $25K on 2 dogs.

Paris just nabbed 2 perky Pomeranians and accompanying bling at Betty's Teacup Yorkies in Canada ... then presented one to mommy Kathy Hilton as a 35th Anniversary gift.

How much dog does 25K get you? We're told Paris' 3-months-old pooch weighs in at 6 oz. while Kathy's 6-month-old pom weighs 12 oz.

You may recall ... Paris dropped $13K for another pom in September.

$40K for less than 2 pounds of dog. Jeez.

Screw your 1989 Ken Griffey Jr. Upper Deck rookie card ... an old woman from Boston just learned her family's been sitting on a MILLION DOLLAR baseball card stash for more than 100 years!

The woman -- who has not revealed her name -- went on PBS' "Antiques Roadshow" with a bunch of cards and memorabilia she inherited from her great-great-grandmother.

Turns out, the booty was a collection of ultra-rare baseball cards featuring the 1871 Boston Red Stockings. The woman also had autographs from some of the players.

One of the cards featured George Wright -- the biggest superstar in the sport at the time. He was ultimately inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

"Roadshow" appraisers valued the collection at $1 million.

The woman says she found the collection just sitting in a desk drawer ... "I ran across it one day and decided I'd like to have it, not realizing at all what it was worth."

If you're a pizza delivery guy who fights L.A. traffic to get your pies to customers while they're still hot, you may want to give the Scientology order to another driver, because apparently they don't tip.

Our pizza sources tell us last Friday the folks at the Hollywood Scientology building ordered 180 pizzas -- 100 pepperoni, 60 cheese and 20 veggies -- from Papa John's. The bill totaled $2,094.89.

Two delivery guys made 4 separate trips to L. Ron Hubbard's palace, and when all was said and done, they got nothing. The credit card was for precisely $2,094.89 ... not a penny in tip.

Scientology strongly encourages members to give a percentage of their income to the org, yet the pizza guys got 0%.

In the end, the Papa John's manager gave his guys $10 each for their troubles.

And that's a pie in the face.

After finding out about our story, a rep for Scientology told us "Senior officials were shocked and embarrassed and sent $300 to the restaurant."

Teresa and Joe Giudice just DRASTICALLY reduced the asking price for their New Jersey mansion, because they MUST move out stat for cheaper digs.

The convicted couple just slashed half a mil off the asking price. But the situation is more dire than it seems. They had initially listed the house for $3.99 million, but there were no takers, so in November they lowered the price by $500,000. Still no takers.

The latest cut brings the asking price to a relatively reasonable $2.99 mil. Their realtor believes that should do the trick.

Teresa and Joe are cash strapped after their conviction and they want to radically downsize.

Teresa Giudice played a form of "Let's Make a Deal" before going to prison ... and she ended up losing a huge cash prize.

Door #1: We're told Bravo was prepared to offer her a "huge deal" if she allowed them to film her final days before entering the big house. Our sources say she would have scored in excess of $50K.

Door #2: Turn down the offer because it might piss off prison officials and others who could possibly grant her an early release.

We're told Teresa chose Door #2.

Teresa says she didn't want to exploit her family's goodbyes -- which is ironic because she had no problem putting them on 6 seasons of 'Housewives' and sitting down with Andy Cohen for $$$.

Sources close to Bravo say the talks Teresa had with Bravo were "informal."

There's nothing sci-fi about Sterling Jerins' payday in the upcoming Gerard Butler blockbuster "Geostorm" ... it's real, and it's big.

Producers are handing the 10-year-old actress $125K for her role as Hannah in the flick -- she'll also have plenty of privacy off set in her trailer -- one half of a huge WiFi ready "double-banger."

If you don't know her name you will -- the young star best known for roles in the show "Deception" and Brad Pitt's "World War Z" will be getting shared billing with her co-stars.

She's learning the ropes fast.

Slash's rock and roll fortune could soon be sliced in half ... TMZ has learned he didn't have a prenup and his wife is gunning for half.

Sources close to Perla Ferrar tell us she's already hired a lawyer to figure out exactly how much money Slash has earned since their 2001 marriage. The lawyer and at least one pencil pusher are assessing real property, album sales and other assets.

Perla never knew specifics ... but she believes he's made 10s of millions of dollars since they married, and she's entitled to 50%.

She can't touch the G-N-R loot pre-marriage -- which is enormous -- but her claim is anything but chump change.

Slash has released 5 albums since they wed, including one with his band Velvet Revolver that went double platinum.

As we previously reported ... Slash filed for divorce last week, but that doesn't mean the fat lady has sung. He did the same thing in 2010 and withdrew his petition 2 months later.

We're told this time around Perla believes Slash has moved on -- he's already dating someone and has destroyed any chance of a reconciliation.

Most people can't afford one Bugatti supercar, worth around $2 million -- Floyd Mayweather has THREE.

The boxing champ just showed off his insane car collection -- comprised of some of the most rare and expensive cars in the world.

Here's the checklist with approximate market values ...

Bugatti Veyron -- $2 millionBugatti Veyron -- $2 million Bugatti Grand Sport -- $2 million Ferrari 458 Spider -- $250kFerrari 458 Spider -- $250k Lamborghini Aventador -- $400k Porsche 911 Turbo S $180k Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano -- $300k

Grand total ... $7.3 MILLION.

And unlike Justin Bieber, Mayweather has his own private jet ... and they don't exactly come cheap.

FYI -- Mayweather has reportedly made more than $400 MILLION in his career ... and clearly, he ain't afraid to spend it.

Warren Sapp ain't out of his ex-wife's doghouse yet ... at least according to court docs which show the NFL legend has still not paid more than $3 million in back support ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Here's the deal ... Sapp filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy back in 2012 ... and all of his many, many debts were made public.

One of those debts is owed to Jamiko Sapp ... the mother of two of his children ... who claimed Warren owed $3,104,207.20 in "domestic support obligations."

Well, according to new docs filed Monday in Florida bankruptcy court, Warren has only repaid $8,236.85 ... less than 1% of the debt.

Meanwhile, Sapp is still living pretty high on the hog ... making $100k bets with rappers and test-driving fancy cars.

David Cassidy's three-year battle with Sony over profits from "The Partridge Family" is finally over ... but he ended up getting just a fraction of what he was after.

Cassidy filed the suit back in October 2011, claiming Sony was using his image on "The Partridge Family" merchandise for years while paying him peanuts. He also claimed he was getting screwed on profits from re-runs and spinoffs as well.

But while Cassidy was after millions, an arbitrator recently ruled in his favor ... for just $157,964.84.

Cassidy filed a petition with the court last week to confirm the judgment, but he's asking the court to tack on $57,943.06 for his arbitration fees ... plus another $35,824.82 in interest.

Whatever you're making per hour can't match what "Frozen" star Eva Bella made to reprise her voice over duties for a new doll. Not even close.

Disney pulled the 11-year-old voice of Young Elsa back into the fold to work on its Winter Glow Toddler Elsa talking doll. According to her contract, the whole recording session only took an hour -- but Eva still hauled in about $1700 for the brief gig.

Now, that's an ice block of cash!

No wonder the damn doll's always giggling.

Paul Simon already got taken in one of the biggest celebrity money scandals of all-time -- and now it turns out he might actually owe money to the the crook who robbed him blind.

Kenneth Ira Starr was locked up in 2011 for a $35 million Ponzi scheme that fleeced celebs like Liam Neeson, Al Pacino, Warren Beatty and Simon.

Starr went bankrupt in 2011, so now a trustee is going through his books to try to collect any money owed to Starr ... which would help pay off his creditors.

So the trustee filed a lawsuit in New York recently, claiming Starr did some legit work for Simon and there's an unpaid $17,174.49 ... for services rendered.

Simon is being sued for that tab, plus interest and attorney's fees.

Birdman's nest is getting shaken one more time -- but not by Lil Wayne -- his Miami condo association wants him out -- and now they're going to court to make it happen.

Ivy Condo Association says between him bouncing checks and racking up over $12.5K in unpaid fees they've had enough -- they filed a lien in November, and asked the court to foreclose on the rap mogul right before Christmas. Yo, bah humbug!

Financial woes are stacking up for the Cash Money honcho -- a reported $1.9 million federal tax lien, a $1 mil lien from a construction company ... plus, he took out a $5M loan against his mega-mansion in April, just to pimp it out.

Kevin Smith had to be very careful not to piss off his daughter Harley Quinn Smith -- the teen actress had the power to send Daddy packing as director of their upcoming film.

Harley's contract for her role in "Yoga Hosers" shows she wasn't paid huge money -- the standard SAG rate -- but the real juice is the 15-year-old clearly has a kick ass agent.

Harley's deal for the flick actually gave her the right to approve the director ... meaning she had to sign off on her own dad -- which she wisely did.

For the record ... Kevin had the right to approve her too. Again ... dad's no dummy.

Mama June may be telling everyone her oldest daughter is putting their issues behind them -- but Chickadee says all is not forgiven just yet ... when it comes to June's relationship with Mark McDaniel.

Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell tells TMZ she and Mama J are trying to get back on track after meeting last week. She says they've been texting and talking on the phone regularly.

TMZ broke the story ... Anna cut off all ties when she found out June was back with McDaniel -- who was convicted of molesting Chickadee when she was 8.

Anna says June apologized for dating McDaniel -- and while her mom insists the creep's totally out of the picture ... Anna remains hesitant. She says she's warned June the forgiveness train will be completely derailed if Mark comes around again.

No longer will Scott Disick simply suckle off the Kardashian teet -- he's actually putting in an honest day's work ... as a Beverly Hills house flipper.

According to our sources, Disick scooped up a five-bedroom, six-bath house in BH recently. There have been reports Kourtney Kardashian finally kicked Scott to the curb -- and this would be his new bachelor pad ... but it's actually his first flipping project.

We're told Scott is bringing in a full design team to redo most of the place -- in hopes of eventually turning a profit -- and some of the K Krew is also pitching in to help.

Our sources say Scott wants to make house flipping his new steady source of cash -- and he could get a major bonus out of it. The 'Keeping Up' cameras have been shooting his work on the house, and there's talk of a possible spin-off focusing on his design adventures.

Lord help us.
