In new court docs, Onyebuchi Awaji -- the off-duty cop Game decked -- says he's suffered a ton of physical, emotional, and financial pain due to the incident:

Emotional distress: $1,000,000
Medical expenses (to date): $50,000
Medical expenses (future): $100,000
Punitive damages: TEN MILLION DOLLARS

Mama June I Don't Owe Anna a Dime ... TLC Paid Her Direct
Mama June is crafting a "direct deposit defense" against her daughter Anna's claims MJ made off with thousands of TLC dollars from the family's "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" days.
Mama June tells TMZ it's "ridiculous" to think she owes Chickadee any money ... because she says the network deposited Anna's money directly into her accounts.
MJ says their most recent contract, drawn up in September 2012, specifically stated that one-third of the family's $22,500/episode paycheck was to be divided up equally among the kids and paid to them individually -- meaning Mama June never saw a cent of it.
Mama June claims she gave Anna a $15,400 check last December ... her cut of a lump sum the family was paid when their show was cancelled.
In fact, Mama June says she even helped Anna by paying her cellphone bill and other household expenses.

Dwight Howard Baby Mama Sues You Screwed Me Out of a Fortune!!
$10,000 per month is WAYYY TOO LOW for child support when it comes to Dwight Howard ... this according to one of his baby mamas who says Dwight has been screwing her out of serious dough and now she wants to collect.
The Houston Rockets star is being sued in Florida ... by a woman who claims she and Dwight struck a private deal back in 2013 that required him to fork over $10k per month in child support.
But according to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Sports, the woman (Tiffany) says Howard hasn't lived up to his end of the bargain ... and since January, has only paid her HALF of what he owes.
Tiffany says the financial slight has forced her to reconsider their arrangement ... and since he makes more than $27 MILLION per year in salary and endorsements, she wants a bigger slice of the pie.
The kid is currently 4 years old ... and Tiffany says she needs the cash to put the child in expensive private schools, pay for extracurricular activities and fund social activities like birthday parties and sleepovers that will help the kid make friends.
Tiffany also says ... since the child has a famous father, she'll need extra cash for therapy to "deal with the unique issues involved in being the child of a celebrity."
We reached out to Dwight's camp for comment -- so far, no word back.

Paris Hilton Yacht Make Out Session With Filthy Rich New BF
Paris Hilton can really pick 'em ... 'cause now she's hooked up with a self-made multi-millionaire, yacht-owning, jet-owning entrepreneur -- who happens to have a hot bod to match hers.
Paris showered on a yacht off the coast of Spain and then made out with Thomas Gross. The couple had just finished jet-skiing, so what the hell else was left to do but suck face?
Sources tell us they met in Cannes a few weeks ago, and they've been inseparable ever since -- jet-setting to Cabo, Zurich, and Ibiza ... where the 39-year-old owns a massive villa.
P's about to start her summer DJ residency there, which she's been doing for the past couple of summers, and we're told she'll be staying at his pad.
You can already hate Thomas because he gets to be all over Paris in (and out of, presumably) that swimsuit, but if you need another reason ... he's reportedly worth at least $200 million.
Oh, and here's six more reasons to say FML! Seven, if you look closely.

Ronda Rousey might be the greatest car salesperson EVER ... because she just sold her broken, beat up, dirty Honda Accord for roughly 4 TIMES it's actual value!!!
The UFC superstar (along with her sponsor Armbar Nation) was auctioning off her '05 Accord on eBay -- a car that has a broken transmission, 156,000 miles and is filled with a bunch of Ronda's old crap.
It also features a personal signed note from Ronda, thanking the car for its loyal service as she fought her way to the top of the fight game.
The professionals say the car SHOULD be worth between $4k and $5k ... but it just sold to the highest bidder ... for $21,300!!!!
Ronda tells TMZ Sports, "I'll miss the worn in feeling you get from like a favorite pair of jeans or shoes you've had for years that molded to you perfectly."
So far, the identity of the buyer has not been revealed -- but Rousey has made it very clear, she hopes the new owner isn't just some crazy wack job.
Congrats!

Reese Witherspoon 'Bend and Snap' Class for Walmart
Reese Witherspoon had Walmart shareholders eating out of the palm of her hand ... and all it took was 2 simple moves -- bend and snap!
Reese uncorked her signature move from "Legally Blonde" on Friday at Walmart's annual meeting in Arkansas, and it wasn't enough for her to do it alone. You gotta see the poor Walmart employee -- who we'll just say isn't nearly as flexible as Reese.
While Mariah Carey, Rod Stewart, Carol Burnett and Ricky Martin also attended -- we're pretty sure none of them attempted the move.
Well, most of them.

Caitlyn Jenner Five Times More Valuable than Bruce
Caitlyn Jenner is a hotter commodity than Bruce Jenner ever was ... especially on the speaking circuit.
Sources who worked for years on booking speaking gigs for Bruce tell TMZ, Caitlyn is worth 5 times what Bruce commanded. Our sources say Bruce used to get $25,000 a pop for motivational speaking ... and they say Caitlyn can pull well over $100k.
There's a big reason Caitlyn is a hotter commodity ... social media. Bruce hated social media and wouldn't play ball. A lot of the companies that hire motivational speakers are big into social, and Caitlyn is fully on board and breaking records.
Another obvious reason for the bump ... Caitlyn has quite the story to tell.

Michael Jordan Ball Boy Unearths MJ's Olympic Sneaks ... Wants Big $$$
A former ball boy for the U.S. Olympic basketball team says he has the ACTUAL SNEAKERS Michael Jordan wore during the '84 Games ... and now, he's putting them on the auction block.
TMZ Sports has learned ... the kid, now a full-blown man, says MJ signed the kicks and gave him the pair as a gift moments after Team USA won the gold medal.
FYI -- the '84 team included future NBA superstars like Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullin and Sam Perkins.
What's interesting about the shoes ... they're made by Converse, not Nike -- and the '84 Games was the last time (at least that we could find) that Jordan rocked a pair of non-swoosh kicks on the court.
The former ball boy -- who doesn't want to reveal his name -- says he saw that Jordan's "flu game" shoes sold for $104k in 2013 ... and decided to hit up Grey Flannel Auctions to see if he could get a similar payday.
We're told the shoes have been authenticated -- and will hit the auction block on June 5th.
Starting bid -- $50k.
Good luck.

R&B Singer Monica Drops Stacks o' Cash for Ridiculously Ballin' Bday Party
Monica and NBA star Shannon Brown clearly have money to burn, because they blew $70,000 on a birthday party ... for her 10-year-old son!
Lil Rocko marked a decade on Earth by celebrating at the Georgia Aquarium. The theme was Fresh Prince of Bel-Air ... a show that was off the air 9 years before he was born.
Gotta say the party was awesome ... it looks like they're underwater, staring at the captured sharks.
There was plenty of sugar ... candy apples, cotton candy and a topsy-turvy cake.
Among the guests ...Toronto Raptors guard Lou Williams, Future's kids, and Lil Rocko's classmates. Lil's pop, rapper Rocko, was also there (and footed part of the bill).
The only thing missing was the Fresh Prince himself ... and maybe Aunt Viv (the first one, of course).
