Morgan Freeman's calling it quits on his 20-year relationship ... with his sailboat, but he's not letting go of his baby for cheap.

The Academy Award winner's 44-foot "Afrodesia" just hit the market and the asking price is a cool $299,500. Morgan's single engine beauty was built in 1996 and it's definitely seen some picturesque waters over the years ... from Rhode Island and the Spice Island of Grenada to the Caribbean.

It's currently docked in the British Virgin Islands, but c'mon -- you can totally see it off the coast of Zihuatanejo, waiting for Red and Andy, right?!

Jennifer Lopez's main accessory lately isn't a necklace, ring or even a handbag -- it's a crystal-covered Starbucks cup, and it's about to make one designer a butt load o' dough.

TaylorMade Bling founder Teneka Moore tells TMZ ... she thought she was getting punked when J Lo's manicurist asked her to make the bedazzled cup as a b-day gift for Jennifer.

It's obviously a huge hit -- the glam mug, encrusted with Swarovski crystals, has been with Jen almost as much as Alex Rodriguez. Moore says J Lo's cost $585, and A-Rod got his own last month for $495.

We're told other celebs have been reaching out too, which means Moore's holiday season could be very green.

Master P teamed up with a cannabis company to help spread his own brand of bud across California, but it bailed on him and cost him millions ... according to a new suit.

The rap mogul joined the legal cannabis industry in November 2016 with the launch of his brand, Master P's Trees ... and claims he struck a deal with Privateer Holdings in March 2017 to produce and distribute his products in Cali.

According to the docs ... the deal was for 1 year, and Master P would promote the brand and cover half the production costs -- profits would be split down the middle. The official product launch was set for a July music fest where P was performing.

Problem is -- according to the suit -- Privateer reneged on the deal in late July and left Master P holding the bag.

The rapper's suing for breach of contract and fraud, claiming Privateer never really wanted to work with him but rather get "an inside look into the urban and hip-hop demographic of cannabis users" for its own benefit.

A bouncer went full WWE on a "Chicago Fire" actress outside a popular L.A. rooftop bar ... according to the lawsuit she filed against the Ace Hotel.

Alexandra Metz, who's also been on "Gossip Girl," says last summer ... the bouncer grabbed her, and forced her into the elevator at Upstairs -- the hotel's popular rooftop lounge and bar. There's more ... according to the suit, the guy twisted her wrist, put her in a choke hold and threw her to the floor of the lift.

She says she was injured and humiliated to the point she suffers anxiety attacks. In the suit, Alexandra doesn't offer any explanation for what sparked the alleged ass whooping.

Metz's attorney, Neil Steiner, tells us his team is narrowing in on the bouncer's identity.

Kim Kardashian's frightening experience of being robbed at gunpoint in Paris last year has a silver lining ... it inspired the bottle design of her brand new fragrance.

Kim's launching her highly anticipated line of perfumes Wednesday, and says the crystal look of the bottle is a shout-out to friends who helped her recover from the terrifying Paris ordeal by bringing her healing crystals.

She tells WWD her line of fragrances is about "being calm and healing" ... which Kim says has been her main focus the past year.

Kim's officially launching 3 variations of her fragrance -- Crystal Gardenia, Crystal Gardenia Citrus and Crystal Gardenia Oud -- and only 300k units will be sold ... once they're gone, they're gone.

We're told if Kim's fragrance sells like her makeup line ... it could haul in more than $14 million in minutes.

President Trump wants to eat bacon and eggs with one lucky voter and talk shop on American issues ... but he'd like a donation first.

Trump and Mike Pence's re-election committee sent out a message to GOPers Monday, in which they're soliciting $3 donations for a chance to break bread toast with the Prez.

In the document purportedly written by Trump himself, 45 says he wants to hear what REAL Americans have to say about the country, and wants to do it over breakfast in NYC. But, of course, ya gotta shell out three bucks to get a seat at the table.

Shaq and his ex-wife Shaunie O'Neal spared no expense for their daughter's sweet 16 ... and by expense, we mean they dropped almost a mil for the kid.

The O'Neals threw Amirah -- aka Mimi -- an EPIC 16th birthday party Saturday night in L.A. that was fit for royalty -- 'cause the proud parents spent nearly a million dollars on the whole shebang. Yep, you read that right ... $1,000,000.

Sources close to the family tell TMZ Sports that Shaq and Shaunie rented out out the entire rooftop area of the W Hotel in Hollywood, and they gifted Mimi a brand new Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen.

Oh, and they also booked YG to perform ... who we're told did 8 songs, including his hits "Toot It And Boot It" and "Why You Always Hatin?"

From the looks of the party, we'd say it was money well spent. Especially if you were lucky enough to end up at Mimi's.

If you thought $1,000 for a Tom Brady autographed football was expensive ... hold on to your avocado toast -- because the price JUST WENT UP!

Earlier this year, TMZ Sports reported that Tom was hosting a private signing session back in March -- where fans could pick an item for Tom to sign ... for a hefty price.

Now, Tom's holding another autograph session later this month ... and the price per auto on some of the items has gone up $50 EACH. Here's a list ...

Want Tom to sign a FOOTBALL for you? It's $1,049 (March: $1,000)

Autographed Photo? That'll be $899 (March: $850)

Pats mini-helmet? $949 (March: $900)

Tom Brady "game day" style jersey? $1,249 (March: $1,200)

A$AP Ferg's living by his credo ... by sparing no expense on a ring bearing the rapper's famed logo.

We're told Ferg dropped $20k on a new custom-designed 18-karat gold ring, iced up with pink and white diamonds spelling FERG ... made by Will Da Boss of NYC-based DWS and Co. Jewelry.

A$AP tells us he wanted to create something that feels unique to him, and got the ring inscribed with "Sky's Not the Limit" to remind himself of that every time he holds the mic.

Spending a small fortune on bling should help him get his point across too.

Harvey Weinstein's brother looks completely unscathed by Harvey's sexual assault scandal and the chaos with The Weinstein Company ... or he's just listening to something really good.

Bob Weinstein was all smiles Friday with his headphones in at the JFK Airport, looking casual and carefree ... even about his untied shoe. It's the first time Bob's been spotted since his bro and business partner was accused of being a sexual predator by more than 50 women.

The Weinstein Company's facing upheaval and lawsuits -- including being sued Friday for defaulting on a $45 million loan -- and as we've reported ... is broke as a joke.

Wanna hang on set with Ben Stiller? Score a pair of Cher's Louboutins or a golf bag signed by George Clooney? Ben's giving you a shot at all of the above.

Stiller and a bunch of other celebs are marking Veterans Day by supporting Homes for Our Troops with a massive online auction. Other available items include sneakers worn by Ellen Degeneres, lunch with CNN's Jake Tapper, courtside seats to a Mavs game from Mark Cuban or Beats headphones signed by Dr. Dre.

There's a ton more memorabilia you can check out before the November 14 deadline.

100 percent of the proceeds will go to Homes for Our Troops, which builds homes for wounded vets.

1:45 PM PT -- FX is giving Louis C.K. the boot too, cancelling the deal with his production company, Pig Newton. It released a statement saying ... "He will no longer serve as executive producer or receive compensation on any of the four shows we were producing with him – 'Better Things,' 'Baskets,' 'One Mississippi' and 'The Cops.'"

Louis C.K.'s publicist and manager have also severed ties with the comedian.

Louis C.K.'s second stand-up special with Netflix has been canceled in the wake of sexual misconduct allegations ... TMZ has learned.

A Netflix spokesperson tells us ... "The allegations made by several women in the New York Times about Louis C.K.'s behavior are disturbing. Louis's unprofessional and inappropriate behavior with female colleagues has led us to decide not to produce a second stand-up special, as had been planned."

The decision comes just hours after C.K.'s film distributor canceled the release of his movie, "I Love You, Daddy" ... which was supposed to come out next week.

Yasiel Puig just made a HUGE mistake -- revealing his secret identity to TMZ Sports while leaving Delilah in Hollywood ... and the tip-off was the ridiculously hot car he was driving.

Yasiel Puig, Dodgers star, is Batman.

We know how it sounds, but consider the facts -- Puig, who always talks to us, didn't, then proceeded to hop in his black Lamborghini Aventador -- MSRP $400k -- and sped off like he was hiding something.

Our theory? Yasiel forgot to use his driver (Alfred), absentmindedly got into his work car (chicks dig the car, after all) and headed out to Delilah for dinner not realizing we would be there.

Now we know why he was bragging about having so much money the last time we got him (Wayne Enterprises) and why he's not worried about the crooks who robbed him. He'll take care of it.

LiAngelo Ball has got 2 powerful forces trying to secure his release from China ... UCLA and Alibaba founder Jack Ma ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Ball and 2 other UCLA basketball players are currently under house arrest after allegedly stealing sunglasses at Louis Vuitton.

Our UCLA sources tell us, the University has deep ties with China for various reasons, and school officials are using their influence to try and secure the release of the 3 players. As for the nature of the influence ... UCLA is a prize school for Chinese students, many doctors have won research projects at the various UCLA medical facilities and UCLA sports has become popular in China.

We're also told Jack Ma -- a Chinese citizen worth an estimated $40 billion -- is also working to help free the 3 players. FYI, the team visited Alibaba headquarters Monday ... the day before the arrests.

Our UCLA sources also say there is no question the players pilfered the sunglasses so there's no attempt to prove them not guilty ... they are trying to use their considerable influence to ask for mercy. As once source put it, "UCLA and Ma are pulling out all the political stops to resolve this."

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been working on their Hidden Hills home for years, but it looks like they've kicked the hustle into high gear to get it move-in ready.

Aerial shots of the grounds show they're getting a lot greener ... with several trees, shrubs and bushes planted in the front yard recently along with the fresh cut grass. The back of the estate's another story, but the horde of trailers, trucks and porta-potties suggests the landscaping operation is in high gear.

As we reported ... Kim and Kanye sold their Bel-Air pad last week for $17.8 million and are moving into their Hidden Hills mansion.

Judging from the work being done -- and Kanye being spotted talking to his landscaping crew -- it seems they want to move in sooner than later.

Farrah Abraham is losing deals all over the place ... first with work, and now with her real estate.

Farrah's finally gotten rid of her Austin home, but for a third less than her original asking price.

She listed the 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath in 2014 for $750k, only a year after purchasing it. No word on the exact selling price but it was in escrow for $520k.

The 3,300 square foot home has some history ... it was featured on the "Teen Mom" catch-up special "Being Farrah," but doesn't look like it helped move the sale. The stone slab work and the built-in BBQ in the backyard probably did though.
