50 Cent Charity Case ... Fans Are Filling My Pockets Again

Published | Updated

50 Cent may be bankrupt but his fans are helping him get flush again -- very, very ... VERY slowly.

Fans have created the site www.help50cent.tumblr.com … where visitors can stream Fiddy’s classic track “Piggy Bank” -- and therefore stuff his pockets full o' cash again.

Of course, each play on Spotify only puts .0011 cents in 50 Cent's pocket -- and so far he's hauled in ... just under $3!

At this rate ... 50 might want to get serious about a Smart Car.

Miss USA Vegas Knew She Was A Winner ... Way Before The Rest Of Us

Published | Updated

The newly crowned Miss USA, Olivia Jordan, is hot as hell … a not-so-well-hidden secret Vegas discovered when she stripped down to a bikini to win a different title.

Olivia won the Luli Fama Swimwear Model Search at Wynn's Encore Beach Club back in 2014 -- and took home a giant $25k check, and a modeling deal.

Previous winner Nina Agdal was also there ... and posed with Olivia and the runners-up for a smoking hot winners circle shot.

We're guessing they skipped the interview round for the Vegas competition. Hint, hint ... organizers of Miss USA and every other stupid beauty pageant.

Chris Brown Cops Zeroing in on Club Promoters In Home Invasion

Published | Updated

Cops have a hot lead on who is behind the home invasion robbery at Chris Brown's house ... and it centers around a recent club appearance where Chris was paid a fortune in cash.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, they believe the mastermind behind Wednesday's break-in was someone who knew Chris had just received $50,000 in cash for a nightclub gig. We're told Chris typically does not have huge amounts of money lying around, so having it at the house was unusual.

TMZ broke the story ... the robbers made it clear to Chris' aunt who was in the house that they knew the identity of the homeowner. The robbers demanded to know from the aunt the location of the safe, and during the robbery they let it slip they knew about the $50k.

Law enforcement sources say only a few people knew about the cash, and they believe a promoter is a likely suspect of masterminding the heist.

Warren Sapp BACK FROM THE DEBT ... My Bankruptcy Is Over!!!

Published | Updated

Finally, some GOOD NEWS for Warren Sapp -- his days of being bankrupt are OVER ... according to new docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

We broke the story ... the NFL Hall of Famer filed for Chapter 7 back in 2012 ... claiming he owed more than $6 MILLION in debts to various creditors.

In actuality, he owed more than $10.7 MILLION ... and he was forced to sell off a bunch of his personal property to pay back the cash he owed -- including various championship rings, his massive Nike collection, TVs, computers, furs and sports memorabilia.

According to court docs, Sapp ended up paying off roughly $2.9 million ... and most of the remaining $7.8 million was discharged ... which essentially means he has a clean financial slate.

Now, with his money problems seemingly over -- all Sapp has to worry about is that whole domestic violence thing ... and the hooker thing.

Congrats?

Donald Trump I'm Richer than S*** And Now I'll Prove It

Published | Updated

Donald Trump just put his money where his mouth is, proving he's ridiculously rich ... to the tune of $10 billion.

Trump filed financial disclosure forms with the Federal Election Commission, claiming his net worth is in excess of $10 billion. Last year alone, Trump says he made $362 million ... not including dividends and real estate appreciation.

And get this ... in the 14 seasons of "The Apprentice," Trump scored a total of more than $213 million.

Trump is so rich the FEC forms don't really even apply to him. The maximum declared amount for anything is "$50 million or more," but Trump has some assets -- such as buildings -- valued at more than $1 billion.

He made $22 million just in stocks last year.

So the reality ... Macy's is pretty much chump change.

BTW, if he's elected, the president gets $400,000 a year.

50 Cent, who just declared bankruptcy, is redistributing his assets ... in the strip club.

Kinda makes you wanna declare Chapter 11, right?

50 Cent My Pockets Are Still Deep And Full Of Money

Published | Updated

If you're wondering where the bankrupt 50 Cent keeps his money … look no further than his pockets.

We got photos of 50 hosting a party in Atlantic City last week … a few days before he filed for Chapter 11 … and it’s hard to ignore the giant wad tucked inside his (likely) expensive jeans.

Yes, that's a money sandwich of hundos he's flaunting. We're told it totaled around $5k and Fifty wanted EVERYONE to see it.

Truth is… Fifty’s gonna be just fine financially, despite owing $5 mil here and $17 mil there. Our sources tell us the recent bankruptcy filing is just a legal maneuver to reorganize his finances.

Bottom line: 50's still filthy rich.

He kept clowning his finances late Monday -- first, telling E! his bankruptcy is no biggie, and he's just like Donald Trump and Walt Disney.

Then, taking this pic with a random Smartcar. Caption: "Times are hard out here LMAO"

Tyga Sued He Got in Bed with Me ... Then Stabbed Me In the Back

Published | Updated

11:38 AM PT -- Tyga's reps tell us, "These, like other allegations, are completely false. This was a business relationship that went sour and was ended last year. We learned of the complaint via TMZ and are aware that individuals will continue to attempt to cash in on Tyga's success."

Tyga screwed a woman -- not named Kylie -- by lying to her, and jacking her concept for a clothing company to the tune of more than a MILLION bucks ... or so she claims in a new lawsuit.

According to the docs ... Tyga and Chuon Guen Lee formed the clothing line Last Kings in January 2013 -- and she says Tyga promised to heavily promote the line and get it on shelves in the popular clothing chain, Tilly's.

Lee says none of those things happened, and then Tyga made off with more than half a mil in merch. The real kick in the gut -- she says he started another company with another partner, and cleverly named it ... Egypt Kings.

Needless to say, Lee is not amused by the wordplay. She's suing Tyga and his new partner for $1.6 mil, plus damages.

Tyga's reps haven't responded to our calls.

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Not Too Fancy ... For a Subway Ride

Published | Updated

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have money to burn, but the mega superstars still eat fresh on a budget ... hitting up a Subway to take advantage of the $6 menu.

We're told Brad, Angie and a few of their SIX kids cruised into the sandwich shop in Glendale, CA over the weekend. If you're wondering what it takes to feed a crew that size -- 2 Meatball Marinara footlongs, 1 Chicken Teriyaki sandwich, and a few kids' meals.

Total tab ... $44, and Pitt made the sandwich artist's day with a hefty $6 tip! Kinda unheard of at Subway.

First, it was coach flights ... now Subway? Look out for Maddox and Pax on an MTA bus near you.

50 Cent I'm Busted Declares Bankruptcy

Published | Updated

50 Cent is down for the count after losing a multi-million dollar lawsuit ... he's just declared bankruptcy.

TMZ has confirmed ... 50 filed for bankruptcy on Monday, 3 days after Rick Ross' baby mama won a $5 million jury verdict against him.

50 is in a world of financial hurt. A jury awarded Lavonia Leviston the $5 mil after determining the rapper intentionally leaked a sex tape in which she was featured, in order to embarrass Ross.

50 has been ordered to produce proof of income and worth so the jury can determine punitive damages.

According to the bankruptcy filing -- a story first reported by Page 6 -- 50 says his assets are valued between $10 and $50 million but his liabilities are also between the same range.

On top of that, 50 lost a court case in which a jury socked him with a $17.2 million judgment over ripping off a headphones design.

It's a breathtaking fall .. in May, Forbes estimated 50's net worth at $155 million.

Scott Disick Cut Me Out of 'KUWTK' ... I'll Still Get Paid!

Published | Updated

Scott Disick is so money ... it doesn't matter if Kourtney Kardashian breaks up with him, and it doesn't matter if Kris Jenner cuts him out of their reality show -- he's still getting his paycheck.

Our sources tell us "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" cams will NOT shoot Disick's single guy partying adventures for the show's next season. However, they might include him in shoots related to his and Kourtney's relationship issues.

But honestly, lord Disick couldn't care less. We're told his contract calls for him to get paid ... as long as he cooperates when, and if, producers need him. Even if they end up editing him out, he gets his money.

Alternately, he could pull a Rob Kardashian and refuse to be shot. Then he'd get squat.

This ain't chump change either -- our sources say Scott takes home about $4,000,000 a year from his appearances on 'KUWTK' and its spinoffs.

Something tells us Scott will be available for that kind o' dough. What condition he's in when he shows up ... is another story.

'Homeland' Star Real Marriage Blows Up Too ... And It Could Cost Her $$$

Published | Updated

Morena Baccarin -- Nicholas Brody's estranged wife on "Homeland" -- is headed for divorce off-screen too -- and all her success since the Showtime hit could work against her in the split.

Baccarin’s writer/director husband, Austin Chick, filed the divorce docs, citing irreconcilable differences, after 3 and a half years of marriage -- a lifetime in Hollywood.

According to the docs, Chick wants joint custody of their one-year-old son ... and he wants spousal support.

It looks like Baccarin's been the breadwinner in the fam -- picking up roles on hits like "Gotham" and "The Flash" -- so, at least on paper, she'll likely end up forking over some amount of cash.

Did we mention she's banging Det. Jim Gordon on "Gotham?" 'Cause she is ... and she looks freakin' hot doing it.

Bailee Madison must have cast a spell on the creators of Hallmark Channel’s “Good Witch," because she stands to make a million bucks from the show.

TMZ took a gander at her minor’s contract and the 15-year-old is clearly the envy of her peers for playing the young witch. She made $30k per episode for the first season.

The next 4 years could set her up for life -- she can make $36,465 an episode by the 5th season.

Only 3 more years until she's free to blow the money on whatever her witchy heart desires.

Chris Brown's Baby Mama Money's Not the Issue ... He's Pissed Royalty's with His Mom

Published | Updated

Chris Brown had a $10k agreement in place with his baby mama, Nia Guzman … but when she shipped little Royalty off to hang with Chris' mom, he cut her off.

Sources close to Nia tell TMZ ... Royalty's parents finally came to an agreement on child support ... settling on $10k per month from CB, starting July 1. As we reported, Chris' camp said Nia initially wanted $15k, but he only wanted to pay $2,500.

We’re told the new deal blew up though, when Daddy wanted Royalty this week -- but she was already hanging with grandma in Virginia. Since relations between Chris and his mom have been bad for years now ... our sources say Chris got pissed.

We're told Nia's claiming this is the first time she's ever denied Chris visitation, but looks like once was enough. We broke the story ... Chris is filing to establish paternity in court, so a judge can settle their child support and custody issues.

According our sources, Nia never wanted to go to court because she didn’t want to seem like a gold digger.

TRUE TERROR?

Paris Hilton is a better actress than we thought ... we've learned she was totally in on the "near plane crash" stunt.

TMZ has obtained a document prepared by the Egyptian production company behind the prank. Turns out Paris wasn't their first choice. The company sent the offer to the reps of other American celebs back in March, offering them big money to participate in the prank.

The document states, "We will act as if something is going wrong and ask all passengers to jump off the plane!!! Of course everyone will panic, we'll be having skydivers in disguise with us on board."

The doc goes on, "We will monitor the funny reactions from our celebrity guest when they fear jumping off the plane."

And the document even mentions the stunt has the blessing of Dubai authorities ... "Dubai official authorities are monitoring this show and providing us with security. If you want to make sure, you can contact the office of crown prince of Dubai, his majesty Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum. He himself will be supervising the progress of the project."

Sources say the production company offered a huge amount of money to a willing celeb ... in the million dollar range.

We got Paris out Wednesday in Bev Hills, and listen closely ... she talks about the pilot "taking it too far." The question ... what, if anything, was she expecting?
