Tekashi69 I'd Like to Play a Game ... With My New 'Saw' Chain!!!
Tekashi69 just survived an epic ass whooping, but he's not going to Disneyland next -- instead he's dropping 6 figures on some scary jewelry.
The week after the Brooklyn rapper walked away from that epic LAX brawl, and faced violent threats in Texas, he's flossin' a Billy the Puppet charm covered in 24.2 carats of diamonds and black diamonds. It's hanging from a gold and diamond Cuban link chain. We think Jigsaw would be proud.
And get this -- the mouth of the pendant is spring-loaded so it opens and closes when he walks ... freaky.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The rapper worked with Houston jeweler Jimmy Boi to come up with the piece, to match his face tattoo. They previously collabed on his '69' spinner chain, too.
Although, 6ix9ine bragged he spent $300k on the "Saw"-inspired ice, we're told it's only valued at just over $100k. Guess math ain't his thing.
Still, can't imagine this will keep his haters away.

DeSean Jackson Chip Kelly's a 'Big-Time Weirdo'
Think DeSean Jackson's over the beef with Chip Kelly?
Nope.
The NFL star was at LAX when he was asked about his old Philadelphia Eagles coach -- but before the photog could finish the question, D-Jack shut him down.
"We don't even talk about that dude," DeSean said about Kelly ... "He's a weirdo. He's a big-time weirdo."
Of course, Kelly cut D-Jack in 2014 -- and Jackson was PISSED about it.
He's since blamed Kelly for ruining the Eagles by getting rid of a bunch of superstars including LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin ... and said Kelly's 2016 firing was essentially "karma."
Jackson also weighed in on the debate over paying college athletes -- and made it very clear where he stands on the issue.

Danilo Gallinari No Skiing For Me ... It's In My Contract!!
Danilo Gallinari LOVES skiing -- but he's got $65 MILLION reasons to stay away from the slopes ... telling TMZ Sports his huge NBA contract forbids him from hitting the mountain!!
The Clippers star was leaving Delilah in WeHo when he started raving about fellow Italian Sofia Goggia's gold medal performance in alpine skiing at the Olympics ... calling her the "best skier in the world."
That's when Gallinari dropped the interesting nugget about his paperwork ... saying he's not allowed to ski because it's written in his multi-million dollar deal with the Clips.
It's not the first time we've heard of a clause like this ... In 2012, Matt Stafford told us his $41.7 million deal he signed in 2009 specified no motorcycles or skydiving.
Smart move by L.A. ... gotta keep that $65 million investment secured!!

50 Cent Changes Bitcoin Story ... I Swear I Don't Have Any, Judge!!!
The millions 50 Cent was bragging about having in Bitcoin have disappeared -- or, if ya believe his sworn testimony ... they never existed.
The rapper filed a sworn declaration in bankruptcy court, saying ... "[I have] never owned and [do] not now own, a Bitcoin account or any Bitcoins." The docs, obtained by TMZ, are extremely interesting, considering a month ago ... he tweeted about the story we broke.
People close to 50 told us he accepted Bitcoin for the sale of his 2014 album, "Animal Ambition." We were told he raked in about 700 bitcoin in sales ... which would have been worth more than $7 mil, last month, anyway.
Fiddy's totally changed his tune now in bankruptcy court. It's unclear if he was embellishing then, or if he's trying to finagle his way out of reporting Bitcoin assets to the court.
He did acknowledge it's possible some online album and merchandise sales may have been made in Bitcoin, but says they would have been converted to U.S. dollars before he ever saw it.

The Weinstein Co. To File for Bankruptcy Too Many Liabilities
It was almost inevitable ... The Weinstein Co. has announced it will file for bankruptcy after hemorrhaging assets and facing multiple lawsuits in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.
The Board of Directors said it had no choice ... this after investors bailed in droves after disclosures of Harvey Weinstein's alleged misdeeds.
There were potential buyers at one time ... Colony Capital's Tom Barrack was once interested but he saw no upside and bailed. Maria Contreras-Sweet, former head of the Small Business Administration in the Obama administration also formed an investor group, but that went south.
The company faces multiple lawsuits claiming its execs knew of Weinstein's alleged harassment and assault but took no positive action.

Drake Old Notebook w/ Handwritten Lyrics Could Fetch $54k!!!
A beat-up old notebook belonging to Drake might land a keen-eyed worker a big payday, because the inside's full of handwritten notes, rare lyrics ... and his John Hancock several times.
Drake's purple spiral notebook features about 12 pages of lyrics ... including what appears to be the rapper's homage to Biggie Smalls' "Ten Crack Commandments" -- titled "10 Mack Commandments."
The notebook also includes multiple Aubrey Graham signatures (his real name), personal notes and various phone and credit card numbers ... possibly his uncle's.
Gary Zimet, owner of MomentsInTime.com, tells TMZ ... the notebook was recovered from Drake's grandpa's furniture factory in Toronto about a decade ago. We're told it was nearly thrown out, but someone on the cleanup crew nabbed it and is now selling it on the site. Zimet says he knows the book's legit based on where it was found, and the signatures look like the one Drake now uses.
It's unclear exactly when each entry was written, but the copyright in the front of the book is dated 2002 -- a year after he started his 8-year stint on 'Degrassi.' It can be yours ... for a cool $54k.

Justin Bieber Downsizes With New $17.9 Million WeHo Rental
For most Justin Bieber's new modern crib would be a dream come true, but by Bieber's standards it's a shell of his last place.
The Biebs just secured a new rental ... a $17.9 million crib in West Hollywood above the Sunset Strip. At 6,000 square feet and 3 bedrooms, it's almost half the size of his last pad in Bev Hills, which was a 8,600 square foot, 6 bedroom bachelor pad.
There's a movie theater and the infinity pool looks out on an incredible view of L.A., but the coolest feature has to be the master closet, which looks like it was inspired by a DJ's booth.
The last place set Bieber back $55k a month. Sources say he is shelling around the same for his new digs.

J Balvin's one of the hottest artists in reggaeton and Latin music, best known here in the States for his recent hit remixes with Beyonce and Justin Bieber.
He also survived a plane crash in 2016. Based on his chart success, and his pricey new mouth piece ... we'd say someone's living right and large.

Kylie Jenner Facebook Up $13B Since Slamming Snapchat
Kylie Jenner's good for business ... if you're in the Facebook business. Sorry, Snapchat.
As we reported ... Snapchat's value plummeted a whopping $1.3 billion the day after Kylie tweeted 18 simple words to bash the app. And, as of Friday's market close, it kept going south.
Snap Inc. market value:
Feb. 21 – $22.78B (The day Kylie tweeted)

Feb. 21 – $516.83B
Feb. 22 – $519.97B

"Teen Mom 2" star Adam Lind's still got some growing up to do ... because he's a wanted man for all the wrong reasons.
The Minnehaha County Sheriff's Department in South Dakota tells TMZ ... there's an active warrant for Adam's arrest for allegedly failing to pay child support. The warrant was issued on Valentine's Day.
We checked with the state office that handles these matters and we're told Adam was in the hole after 2 separate judgments were handed down last September -- one for $12,365 and another for $8,757.
It's unclear which kids this is about. Adam has 2 kids (Aubree, 8, and Paislee, 4) with 2 baby mamas ... including "Teen Mom 2" star Chelsea Houska, who is now married to Cole DeBoer.

Offset Cardi B Dropped Quarter Mil On My Trap House!!!
Cardi B just bought Offset a brand new house ... made out of diamonds, but this crib fits around his neck.
Cardi was busier than we thought over NBA All-Star weekend 'cause she dropped $250k on a pendant covered in 150 carats of diamonds. We're told Cardi ordered the "Bando" (that's abandoned house if you're not down) from celeb jeweler Elliot Avianne. The piece is ridiculously detailed -- complete with graffiti, an oven and 2 figurines of Offset ... both of them armed!
We're told Cardi wanted to give it to her fiance for Valentine's Day, but they weren't together until they hooked up in Los Angeles last weekend.
BTW ... Avianne is where we frequently see rappers -- like the Migos guys, 2 Chainz and more -- shopping in NYC.

Lisa Marie Presley Ex Says Her Numbers Do Lie ... She CAN Pay My Lawyers!
Lisa Marie Presley is lying about the mountain of debt she claims to be under, and about how much money she's earning ... according to her estranged husband, Michael Lockwood ... TMZ has learned.
TMZ broke the story ... LMP says she's $16 million in the hole, and can't afford to pay Lockwood's attorney's fees -- but Lockwood ain't buying it. In docs he just filed, Lockwood says Elvis Presley's daughter sucks at math.
He points out she claimed to be making $104,000 per month in 2016, but also claimed she owed the IRS $1.67 million. Lockwood says that would mean she owes more than she made in income that year.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Lisa Marie also fudged her numbers when she included the English manor she owns. Presley says she's way behind on the mortgage for it, but Lockwood says it's still worth something ... which she's left out of her calculations.
He's not backing off his demand for Lisa Marie to kick in for his lawyers to the tune of $450k.

Dick Vitale NCAA Hoops Can Be Fixed 'Pay the Players!!'
Dick Vitale says he's heartbroken by the bombshell report uncovering alleged corruption in the NCAA ... but tells TMZ Sports he knows what the org. can do to fix the huge problem.
PAY THE PLAYERS, ALREADY!
We spoke with the college basketball legend about the FBI documents obtained by Yahoo! Sports which appear to show a high-powered sports agency illegally paying high profile players like Markelle Fultz and Miles Bridges while they were in high school and college in hopes of signing them later on.
"It broke my heart," Vitale says about the report ... "It's a blow."
Vitale is concerned the corruption runs much deeper -- pointing out these names were only found after feds raiding ONE agency.
Don't worry ... Dickie V has a solution -- he's calling for the NCAA to let players get paid for appearances, autographs and other profitable ventures while playing in college.
Dickie V says it's not gonna solve the issue 100% ... but it would definitely "minimize" the amount of sleazy money being made under the table.
"(The NCAA) is making zillions of dollars ... why not allow it," Vitale says.
"Let them get paid. I really believe that in my heart, because this has gotten totally out of control right now."
