Usher's insurance company put him on notice, with legal papers -- it will NOT pay for the $20 million herpes lawsuit against him if he loses because his policy doesn't cover STDs.

New York Marine and General Insurance Company filed docs referencing the $20 mil case filed in Georgia by a Jane Doe ... who claims she contracted herpes from Usher after having sex with him at least twice this year. The insurer points out a clause in the singer's policy that excludes coverage for "bodily injury ... arising out of the transmission of any communicable diseases by [Usher]."

In the docs, the company also references the lawsuit filed by celebrity attorney Lisa Bloom on behalf of a John Doe, another Jane Doe and Quantasia Sharpton ... saying it also doesn't want to pay in that case.

The company's also got beef with Usher over the reported settlement he paid to a woman in 2012 for allegedly infecting her. NYM&G says he never disclosed that matter when he signed its policy in 2016, so that's another reason it won't cover him in the Herpes suits.

Snoop Dogg was all set to perform in Bulgaria to raise cash for kids in war zones -- at least that's what the charity org thought before sniffing out what it believes was a $360,000 scam.

Krasimir Dachev -- a rep for Bulgarian nonprofit Peace for You Peace for Me -- filed a lawsuit against Brandon Allen and his company, Rich America. In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Dachev says Rich America claimed it could deliver Snoop and Britney Spears for a 2016 benefit concert.

According to the suit, the promoter demanded fees totaling $360k just to secure a date and start negotiations. Dachev says Allen sent a video he claimed was Snoop shouting out the concert. It's obviously NOT the D-O-double-G ... but Dachev says they bought it.

Dachev says they feared fraud when Rich America tried to trade out Brit for Natalie LaRose, and Snoop backed out. They asked for a refund, but Dachev says Allen told 'em to kick rocks.

To be clear ... the REAL Snoop had nothing to do with this.

Elvis Presley once lived like royalty in Beverly Hills -- ya know, 'cause he was THE King -- and now you can too ... if you've got $20k to blow on an epic sleepover.

Elvis' former Bev Hills estate is now for rent at $4,000 a night -- but there's a catch ... you gotta stay for at least 5 nights. If you're 'bout that hound dog life, you're in for a real treat.

The 4-bed, 6-bath crib, which sits on a cliff, features floor-to-ceiling windows and glass walls in every room, plus a huge pool and spa. There's also a guest house out back, and it's still got the OG gates where Elvis used to greet fans in the '60s.

Neymar hasn't played a single minute for Paris Saint-Germain ... but that hasn't kept the international superstar from getting the boat party started ... chillin' out on a $35 MILLION superyacht!!

The ex-Barcelona stud -- rockin' super bright neon green shorts -- spent the day bro'ing out with friends in St. Tropez on Monday ... wasting no time getting used to his new life in France.

Neymar and his crew were spotted hangin' out and getting soaked by a water hose on the 115-ft. luxury boat, "Ginevra" ... which reportedly sold for $35 million back in 2014.

Neymar wasn't able to play in PSG's season opener due to a paperwork problem, but we're assuming he had yachts of other stuff on his mind.

Neymar is expected to make his debut this Sunday against Guingamp.

Jillian Michaels was so fed up with a yacht crew allegedly trying to extort her she took matters into her own hands.

We broke the story ... Jillian plunked down $60k for a boat during a 12-day trip along Italy's Amalfi Coast. Problem is ... Jillian says the boat was filthy, and had no hot water or wi-fi.

Then things got scary when the crew started demanding more money for fuel because Jillian said the yacht broker told her the crew's fuel money had been drained "because of Mafia in Capri."

Neymar gave Paris Saint-Germain fans 265 million reasons to cheer in his 1st appearance as a member of the team this weekend ... even though he didn't play.

The Brazilian super star was officially presented as a P.S.G. player Saturday in a match against Amiens SC -- but couldn't take the field 'cause his record $520 million-plus total deal hadn't been registered in time.

Neymar didn't seem to mind though -- the dude's reportedly now the highest paid soccer baller ... ever. Plus, P.S.G. went on to win the game without him at 2-0.

$265 million over 5 years ... not a bad bench fee for day 1.

Chester Bennington's inner circle was not about to let someone profit off his funeral ... so they stepped up and helped stop the person trying to sell his memorial items.

Sources close to Chester tell TMZ ... they found out someone posted a program, wristband, lanyard and pin from Chester's service on eBay Tuesday, and immediately contacted the site asking to have the items removed.

Ebay did exactly that ... but not before the highest bid topped $50,000. An eBay spokesperson tells us the company doesn't allow sales of items that "attempt to profit from tragedy." We're told they contacted and educated the seller, and will take further action if it happens again.

As for the identity of the seller ... our Chester sources believe it was someone who worked with Linkin Park in production, and when they took a look at the account's history they realized the person had sold other LP merch in the past.

Fetty Wap says he had to fire a woman for allegedly skimming a quarter mil off his bookings -- but she says it's really the exact opposite, and Fetty owes her for a ton of expenses.

Sources close to Fetty's RGF Productions tell TMZ ... they fired Shawna Morgan Friday for falsely representing herself as his booking agent and manager. RGF claims Morgan charged additional fees to venues that booked Fetty. They believe she collected real booking fees on behalf of RGF, and then emailed on the side pretending to be Fetty's manager.

They claim she would request added fees, or as they say in the biz ... "double dip." RGF also believes she took cash off the top by lying about fees, and pocketing the extra dough.

Morgan denies the allegations, and tells us RGF owes her $250k in unpaid expenses. She says she repeatedly put her credit card down to cover tour expenses, such as hotels, but was never reimbursed. As for bookings ... she says she only took the industry standard 10% fee.

Morgan says she has receipts to back up her version of events. She also denies being fired.

Casey Affleck and his estranged wife, Summer Phoenix, will NOT have a nasty, drawn-out divorce -- despite a weird filing -- we've learned it's all settled already.

Casey filed docs Monday responding to Summer's divorce petition ... filed that same day. Much of his reads just like hers -- irreconcilable differences, 2 kids and same date of separation. However, in his docs, Casey says he wants the court to block Summer from getting the spousal support she had requested in her docs.

On paper, seems like a dogfight is brewing ... but sources connected to the ex-couple tell us they've already hammered out a settlement, just 4 days after she filed. We're told Casey is paying spousal support under the agreement.

It's unclear why he checked the box to block spousal support only to cave a few days later -- but what's done is done.

Mohamed Hadid successfully executed an elaborate scheme to hide nearly $600k he owes from a lawsuit he lost ... so says the guy trying to collect the dough.

Juan Carlos Gonzalez filed docs claiming Mohamed's weaseling his way out of paying a $576,267.34 judgment ... by making at least 10 fraudulent wire transfers to hide and avoid paying the dough.

Juan used to work security and drive for Mohamed -- and according to docs, obtained by TMZ, he sued Mohamed for unpaid wages and won a judgment last year. He says when he tried to collect, the company bank account Mohamed was supposed to pay out of was empty.

Juan now wants Mohamed to pay 10 percent interest on the judgment. BTW, Juan and Mohamed have previous beef -- Mohamed sued Juan back in 2015 claiming Juan stole a bunch of precious Gigi and Bella photos.

Vanity Fair straight-up jacked a famous Marilyn Monroe photo and splashed it on its pages to make a buck ... so says a collector suing the magazine.

Aric Hendrix says he owns rights to the Marilyn pic taken during President John F. Kennedy's 45th birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden. Yes, that's the one where she sang "Happy Birthday" to the Prez.

In docs, obtained by TMZ, Hendrix says he's a collector of historical photographs and owns the photo AND the negative of Marilyn. He says VF never asked for permission to use the photo inside a special Marilyn-themed edition published in July 2016.

He's suing for damages in excess of $1 million. We've reached out to Vanity Fair, so far no word back.

Usher and his wife, Grace Miguel, are rock solid on the heels of the $20 million lawsuit against him for allegedly giving a woman herpes ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... Grace isn't concerned at all about the allegation Usher slept with a woman, who sued as Jane Doe, at least twice this year. We're told Grace, who's been Mrs. Ush for 2 years, isn't giving the lawsuit any weight.

Our sources say the woman suing has a history with Usher. She was a close friend of his first wife, Tameka Foster, and attended their 2007 wedding. We're told Usher believes she has a thing against him, and has for a long time. That's why Grace is paying her no mind.

As we first reported ... the woman wants $20 mil from Usher for allegedly giving her herpes.

Tommy Lee's custom motorbike -- adorned with decals of his name and the Jägermeister logo -- can be yours ... if you reply to a Craigslist ad and fork over the cash.

Tommy's 2008 KTM SX 450 dirt bike is being sold by one of his old pals, Guerin Swing, who bought it from the rocker 2 years ago. Swing tells us he hasn't had time to ride, and it just sits in his design studio.

The bike was a gift to Tommy when Jägermeister was sponsoring him. We're told he only rode it for less than an hour when he got it, then sold it in pristine shape. Don't worry, Tommy steered with his hands ... not the way he steers boats.

Neymar has just become the highest paid soccer player in the world -- signing a deal with Paris Saint-Germain worth over $265 MILLION!!

That's more than Cristiano Ronaldo. More than Messi. More than Pogba.

The 25-year-old Brazilian superstar will reportedly rake in around $657,000 per week with PSG over the course of 5 years ... totaling more than $265 mil in wages and bonuses.

And that doesn't even include endorsements.

PSG really, REALLY wanted him -- and paid a record $263 mil transfer fee to Barcelona just to buy him out of his contract with them.

It's the highest transfer fee ever -- smashing the previous record held by Manchester United, which paid a $117 million transfer fee for Pogba from Juventus.

In total -- salary plus transfer fee -- PSG came out of pocket roughly $528 million to get Neymar.

FYI, Neymar is the only soccer athlete Michael Jordan has signed to his Jordan Brand label -- apparently, he knows what he's doing.

Congrats!

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian are close to wrapping negotiations on a custody agreement for their daughter, Dream, and the big revelation from the talks so far -- Chyna's killing it financially.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ ... neither Rob nor BC has requested child support from the other ... yet. If that changes though, Rob would likely be the one asking for a couple of reasons.

First, Rob has Dream more often than Chyna -- we're told that's always been the case. Second, she makes way more money than he does. We're told Rob banks very little on his own outside of the family reality show. Chyna, on the other hand, makes huge chunks of change on appearances and hosting gigs.

So, even if custody ends up being a 50/50 split ... there's at least the possibility Rob could eventually go after her for support. But right now, that's not on the table, and we're told they're close to reaching a settlement.

Kim Kardashian's a soldier ... for the nipple revolution, and something tells us she won't have a problem getting people to fall in line.

Kim was leaving a clothing shop Tuesday in NYC wearing a see-through black blouse ... putting everything on display in an outfit that could start ... or end a war. Apologies to her camo pants and shades, but there's nothing incognito about this ensemble.
